Chapter 207: Taking Stock of the Harvest of the Past Two Years
Fast forward to January 2002.
In addition to the heavy honor, in the past year, Yuwenfei has also gained a lot of money......
At the beginning of January, the 2001 national book market sales list was announced, and "May the beauty of the world be interlinked with you" was not surprising and topped the list!
Its sales volume of 21.8 million has also blinded the eyes of countless people.
In this era of rampant piracy, no one dares to imagine that a copy can achieve such high sales.
In fact, in the past 20 years, there has not been a single new book with annual sales exceeding 10 million, except for reference books and teaching materials......
But Yu Wenfei's appearance seems to be here to break these records.
The first printing of 5 million copies!
10 million copies for the first printing!
Annual sales of more than 10 million!
Annual sales of 20 million!
He set a record that only he can break!
What's even more outrageous is that in the 2001 book market sales list, the first place was his "May the beauty of the world be interlinked with you", and the second place was not the new book of Lao Han that everyone speculated.
It turned out to be "I love the world, but I love you more"!
This book is already an old book, and this year it has exploded with sales of more than 9 million again, beating Lao Han's new book.
As for Lao Han's book, it only sold more than four million.
The figure of more than 4 million, if it was placed in previous years, it would undoubtedly be the first place.
But now, it has fallen to third place, and the gap between the top two is quite large.
............
How can this be explained?
There is no other reason to explain it, just like the article that Dong Xiaoxue published.
This is the era of Yuwenfei!
Writers are starred, celebrities are idolized!
Let readers become fans, and let fans consciously resist piracy.
Without piracy, it would be logical to achieve such high sales.
Don't forget, this is a huge market of more than one billion people, and there are more than 100 million junior and senior high school students alone!
Is 20 million sales high?
Individually, it's very high.
But in a market of more than a billion people, it is not too abrupt.
............
With such a high sales volume of the book, the royalties are naturally soft.
"I Love the World, But I Love You More" sold 9.5 million copies throughout the year, with an average price of 25 yuan and a royalty of 8%.
After all, this book brought Yu Wenfei another 19 million income in 2001.
"May the beauty of the world be interlinked with you" sold 21.8 million copies throughout the year, with an average price of 30 yuan and a royalty of 12%!
Then this book brought Yu Wenfei an income of 79 million this year!
Relying on royalties alone, Yu Wenfei got 98 million, and almost became a billionaire by writing a book......
Of course, this is before taxes, and after deducting taxes, the actual amount is 87 million.
This is the income from writing books, and Yu Wenfei now has other income in addition to the manuscript fee.
The shop in Xiangjiang has a monthly rent of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is 18 million a year.
The money was collected directly in the name of Xiangjiang Jiale Company and used to repay the bank loan.
In addition, the service company that cooperated with China Eastern Airlines has collected more than 51 million!
As for the Jiale supermarket in Zhoushi, the business is booming now, and it can be regarded as profitable.
But that bit of profit, Yu Wenfei didn't look at it, and it was not included in his annual income.
On the whole, in 2001, Yuwenfei's comprehensive income was as high as 156 million!
In addition, with his royalty income in 2000 and the money from the sale of shares in Longfor Commercial Company, he added another 25 million.
It is equivalent to two years, he has made a net income of 181 million!
............
Of course, money is earned and spent.
In terms of expenditure, Yu Wenfei also threw out a lot of money.
When you buy a shop, the down payment is 100 million!
The subsequent monthly repayment is 4.5 million.
Over the course of a year, the repayment of the loan alone was 54 million.
Then, there is the supermarket in Zhoushi, and the purchase of land plus the construction cost is another 10 million.
In terms of expenditures, the total amount is as high as 164 million.
Oh, and the vast majority of them are in Hong Kong dollars, and the exchange rate is still calculated at 1.06, and the actual expenditure is calculated in RMB, which has reached 174 million!
..................
After figuring out the accounts by himself, Yu Wenfei also smiled bitterly.
Now his deposit balance is only about 7 million......
Moreover, I have to continue to repay the bank 4.5 million every month, and what is even more outrageous is that this 4.5 million is only the interest on the loan, and the real principal is 900 million, which will be paid off at once in the future!
Just hold on for a few more months, and when his third book is published, he will be able to completely relax.
After two years of tossing, there are millions left in my hand, and I still owe a lot of debt, is it worth it?
Yu Wenfei couldn't help but ask himself.
Of course, he was just joking, and it was worth it!
Some people may only see him with huge debts, but they also need to see the assets he has now.
The king of Russell Street in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, worth one billion Hong Kong dollars!
In this shop, at the peak of Xiangjiang's business after 2008, the annual rent alone was 100 million.
As for how much it can be sold, no one knows, because the owner can't even think about selling it, this is a hen that lays golden eggs.
In fact, there are many hidden rich people in Xiangjiang, and they will not appear on the Forbes rich list, because most of their industries are shops, and they are priceless and marketable.
The largest "landlords", the Lee family, who claim to own half of Causeway Bay, no one can count how much wealth they have.
The family owns 10 office buildings in Causeway Bay, plus dozens of shops. The rental area is as high as 4 million square feet!
Every year, the income from rent alone is far more than 10 billion. Moreover, this is pure income! They no longer run any other business, only collect rent, and this is the biggest charter company.
This kind of family, how do you calculate their wealth?
............
As for Yu Wenfei's supermarket in Zhou City, it is nothing in terms of value.
But importantly, this supermarket is just a "seed".
Through these two years of "cultivation", it will grow into a "seedling".
When the seedling is transplanted into the soil that is really suitable for its growth, its power will really be brought into play.
However, when it comes to Knorr supermarket, after a period of rapid development, it has also ushered in its own rivals.
In China, there is no business that allows you to run it alone.
Any business, if you run dismally, it's okay.
As long as there is a little sign of making money, the competitor suddenly pops up, and the blue ocean instantly becomes the red ocean.
In Zhoushi, Knorr Supermarket is the first large-scale supermarket in the true sense.
Relying on the reputation of good quality and low price, it is now considered a hot business, and naturally, it is also targeted.
