Shen Qi invited Jennifer to a meal, and during the dinner, Jennifer received a phone call, saying that the publishing house headquarters respected Shen Qi's suggestion, and the price of the second edition of "The History of Number Theory" would not exceed $90, and Shen Qi would get the highest share of 30%.

In fact, it is difficult for authors to intervene in the pricing of booksellers, and when authors transfer intellectual property rights, they can set the price as they like.

Shen Qi's influence is different from that of ordinary authors, and the opinions he puts forward cannot be ignored by the publishing house.

"From another point of view, small profits are quick turnover, this is a simple mathematical calculation, one hundred and five times five thousand is less than ninety times twenty thousand. Happy to work with. Shen Qi finished the working meal and said goodbye to Jennifer, and nothing happened.

Shen Qi returned to the academician's villa at nine o'clock in the evening, later than usual.

Before giving birth to a child, if Shen Qi worked overtime or had activities, he would report to Ou Ye in advance, and the family leaders approved it, and Shen Qi implemented the plan.

After having a daughter, Shen Qi still maintained the good habit of reporting in advance when he went home late.

Not long ago, Shen Qi went out to dinner with Director Qi of the Technology Transfer Center and forgot to report to the leaders of his family.

When Shen Qi got home, Ou Ye didn't say anything, so he asked why he went.

After Ou Ye became a mother, most of his spare time was focused on his daughter, as for his husband, he was a busy man, what he liked to do, just don't mess around outside.

Since then, Shen Qi has not reported anymore, he has managed himself by himself, and the management is not bad.

"Why did you go?" Ou Ye asked Shen Qi while teasing his daughter.

"Eat with the people from the publishing house. Shen Qi said.

"Oh. Ou Ye replied and didn't ask any more.

At this time, Shen Qi's mobile phone rang, and his father called.

Lao Shen told a story on the phone that happened around him.

Next door to Lao Shen's factory is a company that produces and sells metal parts, and the boss's surname is Qian.

Ten years ago, Boss Qian rented a factory in the Nangang Development Zone, bought equipment, recruited technicians and workers, and started production.

Boss Qian's business is doing well, and he is profitable after a year of work.

Then Boss Qian bought new equipment and hired more technicians, marketers, and workers.

In order to expand the capacity, Boss Qian also borrowed money from the bank and repaid the mortgage every month.

After getting up early and working hard for ten years in the manufacturing industry, Boss Qian found a strange circle, the money bar made a lot of money, and the factory was making a profit every year, but in addition to buying a big house, changing to the latest Mercedes-Benz at that time, and solving the livelihood problem of the whole family, the rest of the money was all used to buy equipment, pay wages, pay rent, and repay bank loans.

Boss Qian is such a big boss, but he lives the same life as an ordinary white-collar worker, has a car and a house, owes money to the bank, and the family seems to have no worries about food and clothing, but in fact, Boss Qian's survival pressure is very great.

Not long ago, the Nangang Development Zone government issued an official notice to the factories in the area: "The land in this area has been sold to real estate developers and will be used for commercial residential construction." Please prepare for the transfer of the factory site and negotiate with us about the transfer of the land. ”

In the past ten years, the price of this land has risen year after year, especially after the introduction of the free trade zone policy, the price of this land has doubled to an incredible number.

The owner of the land made a lot of money, and he didn't do anything in the past ten years, just bought a piece of land, built an empty factory, rented the factory to Boss Qian, collected rent for ten years, and then sold the land and became a billionaire in an instant.

All that Boss Qian is left is a bunch of equipment, and once the equipment is activated, it begins to depreciate.

Boss Qian sold the equipment, paid off the bank loan, paid the employee's last month's salary, and left the employee to find his own way.

Boss Qian turned around and returned to the life of ten years ago, empty-handed, but fortunately, his family was healthy and everything was safe.

After telling this true story that happened around him, Lao Shen said with emotion on the phone: "My experience is almost exactly the same as Lao Qian, the only difference is that the land of my factory is mine." ”

"It's better to do real estate than to do any business. Shen Qi's voice was laughing, but his mood was more complicated. As a scientist who is proficient in economic mathematical models, Shen Qi feels that such an industrial structure is unreasonable. Boss Qian has worked hard in the manufacturing industry for ten years, but in the end he is empty-handed. Is this reasonable?

"My land is quite large, more than ten years ago the price of land was very cheap, the government begged us to buy land, build factories, engage in production, improve GDP, the land is basically half bought and half given, I didn't think that the price of this land has now risen to an astronomical amount. Lao Shen said.

Shen Qi asked, "How much can it be sold for?"

Lao Shen: "Hundreds of millions." ”

"Hey, so much, counting other assets, Boss Shen's net worth has become more than a billion overnight. Have you found a new site, and where are you going to move the new factory?"

"I've seen through it, there's no future in our business. These billions are all given to you, how you love to defeat and how to lose. ”

"Really?" As for the publication of the book, he made hundreds of thousands of dollars less a year, Shen Qi's calmness is really not pretending, he dismantles two generations, and he has more than a billion family property, he doesn't have to deliberately pretend.

"Your own father will fool you?"

Lao Shen said that the net worth of more than one billion is just an estimate, not cash.

The land was sold, and the proceeds were originally to build a new plant, transfer the equipment to the new plant, and resume production.

But Lao Shen changed his mind, he didn't want to be a plastic parts manufacturer anymore, he was ready to sell the equipment, properly arrange the employees, and hand over all the remaining assets to Shen Qi, Shen Qi loved to play how he wanted.

It takes time to settle assets, and Lao Shen doesn't know how much money he will leave in the end, so it shouldn't be a small amount.

"Boss Xiao Shen, you are finally going to inherit the family property. Ou Ye smiled, Shen Qi was on the phone next to her, and she learned about the incident.

"My dad is a small private boss, and your mom is the real big boss. "Shen Qi's father is a little troublesome, if it weren't for the fact that Lao Shen bought a piece of land more than ten years ago, he might not know what would be the case now.

The Shen family has a lot of money, and the Ou family is even richer.

As the only son and only daughter in the family, Shen Qi and his wife don't need to worry about money.

Don't worry about money, people will do what they love to do.

Shen Qi spends more and more time exercising every day, carrying weights for a five-kilometer cross-country run, which is aerobic training.

Sprints, fast stairs, this is anaerobic training.

Dumbbells, barbells, this is strength training.

Archery, darts, this is accuracy training.

Why do you have to do so much training, because Shen Qi wants to reserve physical fitness and improve the proficiency of various skills, he has to go to the jungle and go to the field to do scientific research.

As a scientist, he has never participated in scientific expeditions, and Shen Qi feels regretful.
