You mean my relatives and friends????
Of course I know that. Hehe.
I thought you meant you had relatives or friends in Beijing, and that they could go with me.

Sorry, I don't have any relatives or friends in Beijing. If I did, I'd already have gone to handle this matter

Hehe!!! I'll also see whether there is anyone around me who is connected with the publishing and distribution business. If not, then I'll.......... stab a hornet's nest bare-assed-----whatever happens, happens!!!
But I won't act recklessly. Don't worry.

All I can do is cheer you on!!

Haha!! Thanks

You're welcome, keep it up!!

This langhua really does have a bit of that Beijing wisecracking style. Not bad, please put in more effort.

We don't understand publishing, but I guess the biggest loss would be a reduction in Wengier's royalties. I don't think the publisher would go so far as not to pay, right?
I heard there are two kinds of royalties. One is a buyout, where they give you a sum of money once and that's it. The other is revenue sharing, where you get a certain commission based on circulation: more copies, more pay; fewer copies, less pay.
If possible, it'd be best to ask the publisher not to release the book as a deluxe edition, but as a regular edition. Because book prices in mainland China are inflated; I've heard retailers get books at nearly half price. Many new books at Guangzhou Book Center are sold at 40% off, so people who buy legitimate books aren't all that enthusiastic, and many people simply don't dare buy books.
Now pirated books are everywhere. Even at our school, pirated book sellers come right to the door to peddle them. The books are directly photocopied from the genuine editions, the quality is a bit worse, but they're cheap. A dictionary with a list price of 80 yuan costs only 40 yuan, a workbook with a list price of 13 yuan costs only 8 yuan, and one set of junior high entrance exam workbooks is even more outrageous: the genuine set of 6 books costs 60 yuan total, while the pirated books were offered for 12 yuan. They even provide sample copies and deliver to your door.
If Wengier's book ends up being published in the future as some high-priced premium book, I guess in the end it'll only fatten the pirated book dealers.

No way!! How can that be?? Wengier worked really hard writing the articles~ Doesn't the mainland police crack down hard on piracy?? When the time comes, can't you just ask the police to catch the pirate booksellers??
