Female doctor copper coin

Chapter 168: Book Publishing in Beijing

Lao Yuan is considering moving to the city.

Tongqian went to Beijing with her second brother, and Zhou Yuankai went directly to the airport to pick them up.

Arriving at Luo Juan's house, Uncle Zhou and Auntie were there, looking at the cute little baby who was already six months old. Sitting in the stroller, Tongqian looked at him, smiled friendly and blew bubbles.

After dropping them off, Zhou Yuankai went to pick up Luo Juan from work.

After just a short while, Luo Juan came back.

Before entering the room, a voice was heard, "Sister, I get to see you this time." Then Director Luo, dressed in a professional suit, walked to the copper coin.

"You've recovered really well." Tongqian said as he looked at Luo Juan, who had a well-proportioned figure.

"Look, our baby is well taken care of!" Luo Juan said as she looked at the baby who was opening his arms for a hug.

"Yes, that's great. My body is dirty from the journey and I want to hug you." Tongqian said as he took off his coat, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, came out and clapped his hands at the baby.

The baby opened his arms to Luo Juan from her arms, "Look, the baby wants to follow his sister!" Luo Juan shouted.

Tongqian picked up the child and asked, "It should be about 20 kilograms now, right?" Tongqian looked at Luo Juan and asked.

"Do you have a scale in your hand? I weighed it yesterday and it was 20 kilograms." Luo Juan replied.

As long as you have children, there are endless topics to talk about.

"After dinner, we will go to the hall to sign a contract in the afternoon. In the evening, my parents and Uncle Liang will come to meet us, and we will go to the restaurant to have some fun." Luo Juan said about the next arrangements.

"Okay, coming here is to trouble the whole family." Tongqian said politely.

"We wish you would bother us all the time. It's not easy to see each other once a year." Luo Juan still looked forward to seeing her, and it was a sincere feeling.

"I will come to Peking University when I go to school again." Tongqian said again.

"You were admitted to Peking University? How old are you?" Luo Juan asked in surprise.

"I took the college entrance examination early. I'm almost fifteen this year." Tongqian said proudly.

"That's great! You're so amazing. You're admitted to a prestigious university at the age of fifteen. We in Beijing get extra points, and it's very rare for us to get in." Luo Juan's admiration increased.

"This is my second brother. He is going to Huaqing University this year." Tongqian introduced the second brother.

Uncle Zhou came over after hearing this and said, "You guys are admitted to two prestigious schools in one year? That's incredible! You have brought honor to our town."

Zhou Yuankai also came over and said, "I came to Beijing and even though I haven't been to a prestigious school, I am the pride of this town. I am so proud of you two this year."

Aunt Zhou made everyone laugh with her words, "Our house has good feng shui!"

Everyone laughed, and the baby also giggled. "Why are you laughing? Do you understand?" Luo Juan teased her son.

"Their siblings are good at studying, and your house has good feng shui? Don't flatter yourself." Luo Juan said jokingly.

After lunch, Zhou Yuankai took them to Luo Juan's workplace in the afternoon. It was their first time to visit such a government department. Thanks to Luo Juan's guidance, they had no trouble getting to Luo Juan's office.

Luo Juan made a phone call and brought the copper coin to her leader. "This is the Chinese medicine expert I mentioned. She published a book with Chinese medicine secret recipes this time. She wants 30% royalties, which is not high." Luo Juan briefly explained the intention of the copper coin.

"Did you bring the manuscript? Let me take a look." The leader said very gently.

"Yes, the stories I wrote are all about real people, including Director Luo, and they are all real examples." Tongqian once again explained the authenticity of the stories in the book. Then he respectfully handed the manuscript to the leader.

The leader read the outline and decided, "Okay, you've made an exception. With Director Luo as your witness, we'll also promote Chinese medicine."

"Then let's sign the contract first. Will royalties be paid after printing is completed?" Luo Juan asked again.

"Yes, you are responsible for everything." The leader said to Luo Juan.

"Should I sign the contract with you?"

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Wang to bring the contract over." The leader picked up the phone on the table and made a call.

Two minutes later, someone brought the contract. The leader signed his name first, and Tongqian found a place to sign his name. She also looked at the royalty commission, which was 30%.

The copper coin followed Luo Juan back to her office. Luo Juan looked at the manuscript and asked, "How many words are there?"

"About 30 words."

"Can I ask how much it costs for 10,000 words?" Luo Juan picked up the phone and made a call.

"How do we usually price our books when we publish them?"

"Generally, the price is based on 10,000 words, which is 1 yuan to 1.5 yuan per 10,000 words."

"Okay, I know."

"Sister, this is what I think. Although we are publishing it here, we want to promote this book, so we shouldn't set the price too high. How about one yuan and two cents per ten thousand words?" Luo Juan sought Tongqian's opinion.

"Okay, it mainly depends on the printing and promotion." Tongqian replied.

"I want to print 20,000 copies for the first time," Luo Juan said again.

"Okay! Use your ability to promote this book so that more people like you can have their own babies." Tongqian still explained the reason for publishing this book here.

"Okay, I will be doing good deeds by promoting it, and I will work hard to promote it." Luo Juan replied again.

"Okay, I believe you!"
