Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 31: Top of the week bestseller list

Donalds has had some problems with his working status since the end of his vacation.

的 His colleagues believe that it was because he had a few interviews and had a close contact with Wen Ming ’s tragic feeling that he had a fear of the adventure he had always loved, which affected his working condition.

Actually, only Downers knew that he was because of what Wen Ming said.

At that time, his performance was light and light, and even mocking hit Wenming. But Wenming's words had penetrated his heart.

"Do I really fail?"

As the person in charge of the project development of WP mobile phone system and the real person in charge of technology, Donners has very high expectations for WP system.

Although no relevant news has been announced, he knows very well that the development purpose of WP mobile phone system is to let Microsoft occupy the mobile phone system market. Even the monopoly of the Windows system on the PC side copied the mobile phone system market.

Although the WP system has not yet been developed, it has already found a buyer.

The Nokia, which is like a day in the sky, is not as arrogant as the outside world thinks. They have seen that their previous decisions were problematic and that the Android system is powerful.

In order to save its dominance in the mobile phone market, Nokia has reached an agreement with Microsoft. When the WP system is successfully developed, they will be the first users.

As for whether it is the exclusive mobile phone manufacturer of WP mobile phone system, this remains to be discussed, because after all, the WP mobile phone system has not yet been developed, and how the market reaction is, whether it is Nokia or Microsoft, it cannot be determined.

Because of this uncertainty, as well as the buyer's determination and the strength of the Android system, Donalds's confidence in this project has some problems.

Qi Wenming's words would not have had such a great effect if he said it to others or to researchers under Downers. However, he told Donalds that it was only in the circumstances that he had doubts that Donalds had a problem with his working condition.

Among them, the most important reason is that some templates they have developed have not been approved by Nokia professionals.

In other words, although Nokia has reached some secret agreements with Microsoft, it is still possible to tear up.

"A 19-year-old young man, is it necessary to pay so much attention? Maybe after he graduates, the best situation is just to become an ordinary middle class. And we Microsoft and the WP mobile system we are developing, he What qualifications do you have for commenting? "

He shook his head, and Donners dispelled those uneasy thoughts in his heart.

Today's work has been completed. As the person in charge, he no longer needs to type the code himself.

When I was going home, Downers saw a TV in the lounge and was reporting a news.

"The most disaster-stricken student Wenming in Harvard University history, based on the desert island life he personally experienced, the novel" Robinson Crusoe "has been officially released."

Donalds stopped and locked his eyes on the TV screen.

"It is reported that in addition to the 50,000 sales previously scheduled, in three days, the novel has reached 150,000 sales, making it the best-seller list in the United States this week."

下面 "Below, let us interview some readers who have read this novel, what is the comment on this novel."

Downers' eyebrows were raised unnaturally, and the content reported in the news could not be false, that is to say, when Wen Ming's novel was officially released for three days, 200,000 had been created. Sales.

"It's just a moment of freshness."

Donalds just judged that Wenming would only be heard by everyone. How could it accept 200,000 sales in three days?

For those well-known writers, 200,000 sales in three days is not much, but for a new author, this sales can already be called a miracle.

In fact, even Wenming himself was shocked by this sales.

唐 Wen Ming was watching the same news when Donalds was attracted to the sales news of Robinson Crusoe.

"That's 200,000 sales?"

Qi Wenming asked a little in amazement. At this time, his operation was successfully completed. After a few days of recovery, he returned to school with James and others.

James and others want to continue to complete their studies, and the purpose of his return to school is to handle the suspension of school.

Lawyer Lucis returned to New York and started busy for some of his lawsuits. After Wen Ming said his name in those programs, his business volume also increased greatly.

很多 For many people, there are too many lawyers. If you want to find a lawyer, you must be familiar with it or have good character. The story between Sith and Wenming has naturally proven his character.

There are only James and Wenming in the dormitory. David and Cage have classes at this time.

"As the first reader to read your novel, I think the sales of 200,000 copies are not worthy of its achievements."

James looked at Wenming with a very convincing look and said, "I even think that your novel will become a true classic and can still be recognized by readers after many years."

Wu Wenming laughed. "Robinson Crusoe" has been known to many people for more than 200 years in the previous life, naturally because its content is good enough.

I become a classic, that is a must.

"I was just thinking about how much I can share for the 200,000 copies sold."

Physical book writers make money mainly by royalties or royalties. Royalty is the share of the publisher's book sales to the author, and the copyright fee is generally a one-time fee for adapting movies or games.

The royalties in the United States are much higher than those in Huaxia. Huaxia generally ranges from 8% to 12%, while the royalties in the United States can reach a maximum of 60%. Therefore, the first place on the rich list of American writers appeared, with an annual income of $ 94 million.

Alas, the top 15 writers of the world's richest writers in 2014 were almost all American writers.

所以 The difference between the two is so large, in addition to the heavy taxation in the United States, and because there is almost no pirated market in the United States, publishers do not need to worry about piracy impacting genuine sales.

Alas, because Wenming is the first time to publish a book and is more anxious, his royalties are only 28%. His "Robinson Crusoe" is priced at only $ 7.99.

When James saw 200,000 sales, he had already used cell phone calculators to calculate.

After hearing Wenming's words, he immediately replied, "You can get $ 447,440. But at least half of it, you have to pay taxes."

Wu Wenming was not surprised when paying half of the tax, because he knew exactly how high the US tax was.

There are several levels of the US federal personal income tax rate ~ www.readwn.com ~ The highest is an annual income of more than 413,000 US dollars, which requires 39.6% of income. In addition, there are state taxes that need to be paid.

Alas, James said that paying half the tax is not an exaggeration.

At this time, those readers who were interviewed by reporters on TV all praised Robinson Crusoe. In addition to the good-looking book, there is also the operation of the publisher.

After reporting the income of Wenming, James said with some excitement: "You can now count as a big writer. Looking at the current word of mouth, sales will definitely go further. And, you have now appeared in the New York Times bestseller The rankings are still the new book list of Zhou, and the sales volume can definitely take it to the next level. "

There are three ways in which I want to be a best-selling author in the United States. First: Ask Oprah to recommend your work in her Oprah talk show. Second: Let Spielberg buy the right to adapt the movie. Third: Get on the New York Times bestseller list.

现在 Now, Wen Ming has met one of the requirements. The future sales of Robinson Crusoe no longer need to worry about.

James asked again, "Wenming, what do you want to do with this money? Aren't you going through the school leave procedure? Why not, do you travel around the world?"

"World Travel?"

Wu Wenming stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. Although his operation was successful, the chance of living five years later did not increase much. However, for at least two or three years, there is no need to worry about death from relapse.

For people like him, traveling around the world is indeed a very good idea.

But he wants to live five years, to reach 100 years old, or even to live forever.

Wu Wenming said firmly, "I want to start a company!"
