"Tokyo Ghoul? I haven't heard of this book. I wonder what the quality of this book is?"
"It can be placed in such a prominent position in the bookstore, so the quality of this book should be good."
"Then let's take a look at what this novel is about."
Hasegawa Kenichi and Aki Tomoya hid aside, watching someone walk up to Tokyo Ghoul and pick up the book of Tokyo Ghoul. At this moment, Hasegawa Kenichi was actually very nervous. You know, even after crossing into this world, Hasegawa Kenichi may not be so nervous, but now he is so nervous just because of a novel.
"Don't worry, Kenichi, Tokyo Ghoul is really well written. Although there are still some flaws in some places, the quality of this book is already very good among light novels. Coupled with the plot arrangement of this book, it will definitely be a big hit." Aki Tomoya patted Hasegawa Kenichi on the shoulder and said.
"Yeah." Hasegawa Kenichi forced a smile. Although I was comforted, I still couldn't help but feel nervous. This kind of nervousness was out of control, just like when I was in school, every time the monthly exam results were announced, I was excited and a little nervous.
"Si Guoyi, this book is really great. I must buy it back and read it carefully, and even buy another copy for collection."
"Yes, I didn't expect this novel to be so good. The man-eating monster hides in the human group. No one knows whether the people around them will be such monsters. Wow, the author of this novel is really amazing."
"Let's go, and promote it to Anqi and others after we go back."
"Yes, it would be a pity if we don't share such a good book with our companions."
The two people who were reading the book before were a little excited, and they were discussing Tokyo Ghoul with great excitement.
Seeing this scene, Hasegawa Kenichi let out a long breath. At this time, he realized that his palms were wet and full of sweat.
"What do you think, Kenichi? I told you that they will definitely like it, right?" Tomoya Aki looked proud, as if he was more confident than Kenichi Hasegawa.
"Well, Tomoya, you are really great." Kenichi Hasegawa smiled happily and gave Tomoya Aki a thumbs up.
In this way, Kenichi Hasegawa spent most of his time in bookstores, even in more than one bookstore. At the beginning, Tomoya Aki was still with Kenichi Hasegawa, but later he left when his part-time job was up. However, even if Kenichi Hasegawa was left alone, he still couldn't help but visit a few more bookstores.
Kenichi Hasegawa found that most of his books were placed in inconspicuous places in bookstores, but 60% of people who saw the book Tokyo Ghoul would choose to buy it. Of the remaining 40%, 20% would hesitate a little when giving up, and only less than 20% would decisively give up.
Hasegawa Kenichi was quite satisfied with this result. After all, the novels he wrote were not RMB, no, it should be Japanese Yen. Not every Japanese would like them. It was normal for readers who did not like this taste.
After returning home, Hasegawa Kenichi was still quite excited and excited. He lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Finally, Hasegawa Kenichi simply took out his wooden sword and practiced desperately until he exhausted all his physical strength and energy. Then he took a shower and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Hasegawa Kenichi was sleeping, but a sound entered his ears, making Hasegawa Kenichi frown even when he was sleeping.
"Well... is this a phone?" Hasegawa Kenichi opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the mobile phone on the pillow, and found that it was the one making the noise that disturbed his sleep.
"Hello, this is Hasegawa."
"Hasegawa, congratulations. Your new book is doing very well." An excited voice came from the phone. Hasegawa Kenichi felt that the voice sounded familiar. He blinked and paused for a few seconds before his brain gradually woke up.
"Hasegawa? Did you hear what I said? Hasegawa? You are not awake yet, right? Hasegawa?"
"Uh, ah, it's editor Machida. What did you just say?" Hasegawa Kenichi woke up, but he was looking forward to it. He seemed to hear Machida Sonoko say something good.
"Hasegawa, congratulations. Tokyo Ghoul is a big hit." Machida Sonoko's voice came, and Hasegawa Kenichi even seemed to see Machida Sonoko's smiling face.
"Tokyo Ghoul is selling well? Really? That's great." Kenichi Hasegawa showed a happy look on his face. In fact, yesterday, when he saw the readers in the bookstore buying his novel, Kenichi Hasegawa almost felt that his novel might have good sales. Now he heard what Machida Sonoko said, he was even more certain.
"Yes, Mr. Hasegawa, Tokyo Ghoul sold 5,394 copies yesterday. It is expected that the first print of 10,000 copies will be sold out in three days at most. The publisher has decided to reprint. And the number of reprints is also 10,000. But I think the publisher may still reprint less this time." Machida Sonoko said with a smile.
"Really? This is really good news." Kenichi Hasegawa's face was full of excitement. Although Tokyo Ghoul is still far behind the new books of those old authors who have a certain foundation, or the sales of novels that have been published for a period of time and have accumulated a certain popularity. But among the newcomers, the sales of his light novels are already relatively excellent.
"In addition, Mr. Hasegawa, the royalties from the first printing of 10,000 copies have been deposited into your bank account, and the royalties for this reprint will be paid to you in advance. It's different from before. This time, the publisher will directly pay you 800,000 yen in royalties." Machida Sonoko once again told Hasegawa Kenichi a good news.
"800,000 yen? Really?" Hasegawa Kenichi widened his eyes. This is already a large number. Even those office workers in big companies need about two or three months to get their salary. Now it has entered his bank account all at once. Hasegawa Kenichi was already very happy with 400,000 before, and now it has doubled all at once.
In addition, Machida Sonoko said that as long as the number of novels to be published is determined, the publisher will directly deposit the royalties into his bank account, instead of waiting until the novel is published and starts selling like this time.
Although the amount of money will not increase, it will be much earlier, which is also a discount. It's like getting paid every month. One is paid on the first five days of each month, and the other is paid after the 25th day of each month. These are two completely different feelings.
