Soon after returning from the provincial capital, Cai Shuqing from Hong Kong personally called Chen Feng's family. Less than half a month after its release in Hong Kong, "The Philosopher's Stone" became an instant hit, receiving unanimous praise from the public and some literary critics, and sold more than 5,000 copies, which is comparable to the first-class bestseller. Bookstores in Hong Kong have also increased their stocking, and "The Philosopher's Stone" is currently among the top 10 books sold in Hong Kong, and with the book's popularity continues to increase, it is expected that the future sales prospects will only get better and better. Under such circumstances, the first printing of 100,000 copies may not be able to satisfy the local market in Hong Kong by then, and it is bound to be reprinted. To be honest, although Cai Shuqing was very optimistic about this book before it was published, she didn't expect this book to be so popular with the public and sell so hot. She now regrets that she didn't go any further and maximize the book's interests for her publisher.

For such a result, Chen Feng had already expected it, and he was not surprised. And Chen Dayong and his wife were overjoyed, although they knew their son's "predictive ability" before, but after all, this time their son did not dream of it, so they still have some bottomless hearts, you know, this investment is not a small amount, nearly one million yuan. Now, more than 5,000 copies have been sold in less than half a month, and isn't it said that the 100,000 copies will be sold out in 10 months at most? Then, after carefully settling the accounts, they found that if all the 100,000 copies were sold, their son would have made a profit of nearly 5 million yuan! This book alone was more than the thousands of people in their entire Xingwang Company who had worked tirelessly for a year. Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan were extremely shocked at the same time, and at the moment they hugged and kissed their genius baby son, and praised them for a while.

Chen Dayong and his wife still underestimated the sales speed of "Philosopher's Stone", and two months later, "Philosopher's Stone" sold more than 30,000 copies in Hong Kong alone, and deservedly entered the top three of Hong Kong's book sales list, and the major cities in the United Kingdom that have been distributed have sold some amazing more than 60,000 copies, which have been on the bestseller list, and have quickly become a group of big dark horses that have attracted attention.

The sales of "The Philosopher's Stone" were better than everyone expected, and in less than three months, the first printing of 100,000 copies was long out of stock. Chen Dayong and Chao Xiaolan now have smirks on their faces no matter where they go. Can they not be happy? In just a few months, their son has earned them more than 5 million yuan. It's just that they are relatively urban, and they didn't publicize the great achievements of their baby son to the public, but the people around him, especially the few people who had been to Hong Kong with their father and son, already knew this. Including the Xu Guodong in Shenzhen, he called to congratulate him, Chen Dayong secretly asked him to help watch the Feiyi Publishing House in Hong Kong, so as not to make small moves, and he learned the news as soon as "Philosopher's Stone" was a big hit. And Zhang Hanjie, not to mention, as the caretaker of the joint account, because of the hot sales, this account, which originally had a balance of only a few cents of Hong Kong dollars, started from scratch, and now the deposit in it has reached six or seven million Hong Kong dollars. Now Xu Guodong and Zhang Hanjie have to admit that Chen Feng is an out-and-out genius, a good money boy. The two of them were originally successful people in society with successful careers, but now they are ashamed of themselves in the face of this little boy Chen Feng. Xu Guodong was even more stimulated by Chen Feng, and he already had a plan to set up his own door and become his own boss, but he didn't have much start-up capital at present.

As early as a month ago, Cai Shuqing called to discuss with Chen Feng about the printing of "Philosopher's Stone", and Chen Feng had already foreseen a very considerable sales income in the future, and when he signed the cooperation agreement, he even indicated that if he wanted to print it, he must obtain further authorization from the author, and they Feiyi Publishing House had the right of first refusal under the same conditions, and the two sides continued to cooperate in printing, of course he did not agree. Although they made a lot of money this time, they also made a lot of money from Feiyi Publishing House, and in addition to using their sales channels, they almost got more than one million Hong Kong dollars for nothing. And the last contract is the last time, but the next contract is not necessarily their flying. Now even a fool can see the market prospects of "Philosopher's Stone", a large number of publishing houses waiting to come to the door to ask for cooperative publishing, and as early as a month ago, there were no less than five publishing houses in Hong Kong who did not know where to get their contact information, and secretly called to discuss the possibility of cooperation with each other, and offered very considerable conditions. Chen Feng sometimes even wants to completely abandon the publishing house and go it alone, but then he thinks about it. After all, Cai Shuqing was right last time, she is not familiar with life in Hong Kong, there is really no need to spend so much energy, and in the end, the gains may outweigh the losses, it is better to lower the price of those publishing houses, and let them do the work for them, and save a lot of trouble by collecting money by themselves.

Cai Shuqing called several times in a row, but did not get a positive answer from Chen Dayong's father and son on the renewal of the contract, and did not bother the phone for several days. However, Chen Feng still underestimated Cai Shuqing's courage, or determination to make money, she didn't call anymore, but she took two employees of the company and personally came to Yuyang Township, Hengyang County, and came to the door.

In the conference room of Xingwang Company, Chen Dayong met with Cai Shuqing and his entourage, and after greeting for a while, Cai Shuqing couldn't wait to put forward the purpose of his trip.

"Mr. Chen, I am very sincere to your father and son, and I also attach great importance to our continued cooperation. I'm looking forward to working together again and I hope you'll get your son to agree to renew his contract with us. ”

This can't blame her for being so anxious, because she has already learned that other publishing houses are coming to dig up the wall, and has offered Chen Dayong and his son generous conditions that their own publishing houses can't match, and even heard that several very well-known publishing houses in the UK have also targeted "Harry Potter" and tried to buy out the copyright at a large price. And their Feiyi Publishing House, not to mention in the UK, is only a second-rate publishing house with more than a dozen employees, and it has been established for less than ten years. In the first few years, their company barely made money, and only made a slight profit in the last two years, but this time their company earned their total profit in the last year in just three months with the book "Philosopher's Stone". And, more importantly, not only in Hong Kong, but also in the United Kingdom, the craze for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has taken shape, and in the past two or three months, Feiyi has received more calls from bookstores asking for restocking, which adds up to more than the company had in the previous ten years combined. It is no exaggeration to say that the publishing world of the entire British Empire is now talking about this "Harry Potter", and she knows that only by firmly grasping Chen Dayong and his son this time, and firmly grasping "Harry Potter", their company can become bigger and stronger. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course she couldn't let it go.

"President Cai, I won't hide it from you, I think you have also received the news, you have already called several publishing houses in Hong Kong, proposing more favorable conditions than our previous cooperation, and one publishing house even said that it does not want us a penny, and helps us promote and sell for free. ”

When Cai Shuqing heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned: I'm really afraid of something, the one that claims to help them promote and distribute it for free is nothing more than a publishing company that is not in the stream, trying to use this book to raise the popularity of their company, they are also making a good calculation, if this is the case, their publishing company's advertising costs will be saved.

Cai Shuqing asked with some concern: "That...... Did you say yes?"

Chen Dayong shook his head and said with a smile: "Our father and son are both nostalgic people, the last cooperation, we were both quite happy, we originally planned to wait a few days and then go to Hong Kong to further discuss with you about the renewal of the contract, but I didn't expect you to come in person." ”

When Cai Shuqing heard this, her spirit couldn't help but be shocked, and she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this time we have planned to give you the biggest concessions and concessions, I now have two plans, this time we will print one million copies, one of the plans is that we will pay for the cost of printing, but we will pay 40% of the final sales proceeds;

Chen Dayong thought about it for a while, and then said: "I can't just make up my mind for my son about this matter, I think you should stay down first, and we will talk about cooperation slowly." ”

Cai Shuqing knew that the other party still had the possibility of cooperating with her, and she was no longer too eager, so she also agreed, and Chen Dayong arranged the accommodation of the three of them.

Three days later, under the condition of Chen Feng's uncompromising and concession, the two sides signed a cooperation and printing contract, the main content of which is that all the expenses of the Canadian printing and printing bank are paid by Feiyi Publishing House, but they can only get 18% of the final sales profits, which is far lower than Cai Shuqing's original psychological bottom line of 30%, and the gap between the two is related to nearly 10 million yuan. But after three days of fruitless saliva, and finally Chen Feng unceremoniously proposed that she would consider the possibility of cooperating with other companies, she could only sign this "unequal treaty" with some "humiliation". Fortunately, Chen Feng has promised her that if they are all distributed in this way, the sequels to the "Harry Potter" series will be published by their publishing house. It's better to earn than not to earn, this one can be regarded as a blessing in the misfortune of their Feiyi Publishing House, especially after learning from Chen Feng that there are several sequels to "Harry Potter", Cai Shuqing's "injured" heart is better.
