Chapter 26, Convincing Parents

A few days later, Jiang Jun received a sum of money and two letters.

A sum of money is naturally from Lantian's side, and the manuscript fee is 200 yuan. Originally, it was 180 yuan, but because there were more special issues serialized, the manuscript fee for this month was extraordinarily large.

One was from Lantian and was written by Chen Qing. When I opened it, it read:

"Hmph, I just saw you at the beginning, but I didn't mention me, so angry that this girl almost tore up. I forgive you when I saw the back later. Why bother you to borrow money? You bad boy can't afford to pay me off again. Hehe, just kidding, the money is not needed, do you think this girl has no income? I usually write articles, okay, but not as long as you write, in terms of 1,000 words of income, it is still higher than you. I'll be back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, so don't pretend you don't know me again. Chen Qing. ”

After reading this letter, it seemed that Chen Qing's delicate and lovely tone was surrounding his ears, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Another letter came from Taolin Magazine.

I felt very light when I took the letter, and I had a bottom in my heart, indicating that the manuscript was not returned. When I opened the letter, it read:

"Hello, I am the editor-in-chief of Taolin Magazine, after discussion by the editorial board, these 80,000 words have a compact plot and distinct characters, and can be published. The manuscript fee is 0.5 yuan per thousand words, and if the novel's response in the market is getting better and better, the price can be increased accordingly. Please reply, if you agree, you will start serializing, if you do not agree, you will be rejected. Also, please let us know your pen name. ”

Seeing the thousand words and five cents, Jiang Jun first noticed that this is equivalent to half the price of the serialization at the beginning of "Kunlun".

It seems that Chen Qing's role in the submission is really not only a messenger, but also a communicator.

In his mind, he can even flash the following picture, on the side of Taolin Magazine, his manuscript has gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers to fight his way out, but because of his unfamiliarity with the author, he still only gives a price of five cents.

On the side of Lantian Magazine, because of Chen Qing's hard work, coupled with the good relationship with the editor-in-chief, he gave a price of 1 yuan as soon as he came up.

It seems that a considerable part of the money he made in Lantian Magazine is really due to Chen Qing. I didn't even think of that. Thinking of this, Chen Qing's figure seemed to appear in his mind again. The good impression of her in my heart has increased a little.

Jiang Jun replied to Taolin Magazine: "It can be serialized, and when the original manuscript fee arrives, I will send the follow-up chapters." Pseudonym: "

Pseudonym......

At this time, if Jiang Jun is still written, then Jiang Jun will be serialized in two magazines at the same time, although it does not violate the relevant regulations, after all, there is still competition between the two magazines, so it may be difficult for both sides to talk.

Immediately used a vest: "Wild dog." ”

I sent this to the Peach Forest Magazine.

He had two hundred extra yuan in his hand, and at the same time he had meal tickets for two magazines, and he couldn't help but feel strong in his heart.

It's time to explain to your parents the process of making money, because they always feel that culture is useless.

He rushed home, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were sorting out the New Year's goods, and it was almost the New Year, and they were all preparing things for the New Year.

Jiang Jun didn't speak, and put two brand-new hundred yuan on the table.

Silence is better than sound at this point. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were taken aback when they saw it.

Father Jiang picked up the two hundred yuan, walked to the window, picked up one, and shone it with light, picked up another one, and shone it with light, and then said with a shocked face: "Where did the money come from?"

Jiang Jun only smiled indifferently and said, "I earned it." ”

Father Jiang was taken aback and said in shock, "How did you earn it?"

Jiang Jun said: "Didn't I tell you, I earned money by writing novels." I've said it several times, but you still don't believe it, what can I do? ”

Jiang's mother said: "Baby, you should explain to your father and mother this time, what is this thing about writing novels, how can you make so much money?"

Jiang Jun said: "Then you two sit down first, and I will explain to you well." ”

Sure enough, there was money, what Jiang Jun said was relatively easy, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother sat obediently at the table, and they all looked at Jiang Jun and waited for him to explain.

Jiang Jun said: "A novel is a story. For example, Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, and Sun Monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, you always know these stories. ”

"I wrote some good stories myself, and I wrote them on those paper books. Then the magazine sold the paper books. If you think about it, you have to spend money to buy those paper books, right? Then the magazine can make money from those paper books. After making money, give me a sum of money because I'm writing stories there......"

explained in detail to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother in such popular language, and the two of them barely understood what was going on.

Jiang's mother said: "Baby, how much money can you make a month now?"

Jiang Jun said: "This is the money I make in a month." ”

Jiang's mother exclaimed: "I make 200 yuan a month!" She trembled a little with the money in her hand, and muttered in her mouth: "Why do I feel a little unsure holding this money, there can't be a problem behind it, and someone from the Public Security Bureau can't arrest you." ”

Jiang Jun was a little speechless when he heard this. Father Jiang interjected first: "You mother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Didn't you listen to Xiaojun, he made money from stories, and now he is like that kind of storyteller, telling others some beautiful stories, but people say that he is writing, and he can be arrested? ”

Jiang Jun heard Jiang's father say this, and thought to himself that Jiang's father still had a certain level of knowledge, at least he could associate himself with Mr. Storyteller.

However, it is still a bit narrow-minded to say that this is "not a regular business", not only those who are done by the public are called regular managers, as long as the law allows them, they bring value to the society with their own skills, they are all regular managers.

Father Jiang said: "Since writing novels is so profitable, then you should keep writing." But don't waste your farming skills, you can't see or touch these things, but you can really grow food in the field! If you don't make money writing novels in the future, we still have to farm and eat. ”

Jiang Jun said: "It's good not to forget your roots." After the beginning of spring, if you don't have anything to do after writing the novel, I will also help you with farming. ”

Father Jiang smiled: "That's right." He pointed to the money and said, "This money ......" The implication is obvious, how to divide the money.

Jiang Jun said: "That's right, I have a condition, it's not about me, it's about Xiaowei." If you agree to let Xiaowei go to school and provide a good environment for her usual study, I will give you half of the manuscript fee I earn in the future. If you still don't agree, then I can only keep all the money and take care of Xiaowei's schooling. ”

Father Jiang said: "Look at what you said, can we let Xiaowei be a good child, I just thought it was better not to go to school than to go to school." Since you don't have to ask for that, let this child go to school!"

As he spoke, he put a 100 yuan piece into his pocket, and returned the other one to Jiang Jun.

Jiang's mother said: "Xiaojun is very filial, and half of the money he earns is still shared with us." With this money this time, we can have a good year. I'm going to buy some good cigarettes and wine, you wait. ”
