We need it to pay, to get the books printed.
I got over 160+ books proposed, but Hemasiri's the one I liked best. I think Quintus was a close second, but he's 87 years old. He's very frail now. I think Sohli Captain is 95 or 97. But he's super sharp.
I just, I dunno, this guy Quintus is just so old, that it's hard for him to be the "first celebrity author".
Plus we have a good relationship, a friendship with Hemasiri.
He's -- I was shocked to see he'd saved the Kfir jets.
We -- it might be destiny.
The Sumathi Printers, might give us a quote of 800 LKR, which is $2 or $3 to print a copy, at 100 QTY or MOQ. We can do it, to sell those books.
I asked Hemasiri if we can go 50/50 on it.
And I was adjusting our company's terms. I was trying to go to 50/50 if we print and do the marketing and stuff. Instead of the author.
Cause I'm a greedy f***ing pig. Who only flies straight, like a chaza, to the money.
We might go from 80/20 Only Fans, or whatever, to Amazon's KDP 70/30.
Because it's more lucrative.
The biggest problem for the other book merchants is they aren't exactly digital first, they have huge operating expenses, when we have virtually zero.
Also, they don't have any real reading experience, they are either "Oh we will help you publish" or "We sell books": we do both.
And we also put our Branding on those books which adds this massive value to it, which is what I love the most about it.
A mark of quality.
