Chapter 6 Income (Asking for Recommended Collections and Adding Book Lists)
With a backpack containing three thousand cash, Xu Zhi called back directly. This amount of money is not a small amount, some places in Kowloon where Xu Zhi is located are still quite chaotic, if there is really any accident, it will be empty, and it will be too late to cry.
In the afternoon, the parents should still be in the store.
"Dazhi, are you back?" the mother smiled happily when she saw her son come back.
Xu Zhi smiled: "Well, where is Dad?"
Wang Hua said: "What about him tidying things up inside?"
Xu Zhi pulled his mother and whispered, "Let's go, let's go in together, I have something to say." β
"What's the matter, you still have to do business..."Wang Hua saw that his son was mysterious for a while, and said nagging.
Entering the back room, there are only a few square meters here, and I can barely put down a small bed converted from a sofa, and I can take turns to rest for a while when I am tired.
"Come on, come and move down!" Xu Hongbang immediately shouted when he saw his son.
Xu Zhi immediately caught the cardboard box and put it on the shelf with his father.
"I almost couldn't move. Xu Hongbang gasped as he spoke, sat down on the small bed, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xu Zhi took out the cash in his bag and said with a smile: "What do you think this is?"
Xu Hongbang and his wife looked at the cash in their son's hand and exclaimed, "Where did you get so much money?"
There is a whole stack of banknotes, the two of them are in business, and they deal with money every day, and they can see at least two or three thousand yuan at a glance.
Xu Zhi smiled: "This is the money made from the novel!"
Wang Hua took the money from his son's hand, spread it out and asked while counting: "Which newspaper has taken a fancy to your novel?"
Xu Zhidao: "What does it mean to take a fancy to my novels, it's my novels that have taken a fancy to their newspaper!"
Wang Hua glanced at his son and said, "It's a total of three thousand, which is much more than what we make by selling fish." β
Xu Hongbang took the money, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's close the stall now, and go back to celebrate!"
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, you go back first, I still have to go to find Wu Peng." β
"Wait!" Xu Hongbang stopped his son who was about to go out and handed him the cash in his hand: "You earned this money yourself, you can go to a bank and open an account to save it!"
Xu Zhidao: "You don't want to, I have some change on me, I don't need so much for the time being!"
Xu Zhi is telling the truth, he eats and drinks at home every day, and the manuscript fee is not only three thousand, but he has already taken some odds. In the next period of time, his task is to complete the entire novel, and the real bulk of the income is still behind. These three are also for parents so that they can work less hard in the future, even if they don't close the seafood restaurant, they can be more relaxed.
Xu Hongbang shook his head and smiled: "We also have some income, since you earned this money yourself, use it yourself!"
"Okay!" Xu Zhi put the money away, since there is no shortage at home, it is good for him to use it usually.
But as soon as I got out of the store, I met Wu Peng who was wandering around the vegetable market.
"Dazhi, you're back, how is it?" Wu Peng's eyes lit up and he asked happily.
Xu Zhi smiled: "Of course it's done, it's yours!"
After speaking, Xu Zhi picked up his left hand and stuffed a hundred Hong Kong dollars into Wu Peng's hand.
Wu Peng looked at it and said in shock: "So much, how much money did you make?"
Wu Peng went to the newspaper for Xu Zhi, originally agreed to add ten yuan a day for a meal, but Wu Peng had to help in the vegetable field at home during the day, and he could only go out in the afternoon.
Xu Zhi smiled: "I earned a little, this is what you deserve, but I owe you a few meals!"
Wu Peng said: "Those meals can be counted, but you have to add a big meal." β
"Yes, but not today, next time. Xu Zhi nodded and agreed, he has been in Xiangjiang for so long, and he hasn't enjoyed the food outside, he used to have no money, but now that he has it, he can also treat himself.
After chatting with Wu Peng for a while, I went to the commercial street next to me and bought a few clothes and shoes for my parents and sister, and bought some drinks and coffee, so that I could drink and refresh myself when writing novels.
When I returned home, my parents were already preparing dinner in the kitchen, and my sister Xu Yaxin was watching TV alone, and from time to time she had time to write homework.
Seeing the things Xu Zhi was carrying, he hurriedly got up and trotted over: "Wow, what a cute Doraemon!"
In the 70s, although the anime market in Xiangjiang was not weak, it was famous for themes such as (Dragon Tiger Gate) (Little Rascals), which sold well in the print market and could compete with Japanese benzene comics. But it is not suitable for adaptation into animation at all, and in terms of influence, the anime from Nichiban has been very successful: books, TV platforms, peripheral toys, image licensing, etc., have been very successful.
Doraemon This kind of show has endured even in the era of Internet explosion in later generations, and it has accompanied the childhood growth of hundreds of millions of people, even when Xu Zhi is fine, you can watch it, compared to some TV series in the 70s, cartoons are obviously more suitable for his taste.
Xu Yaxin had been clamoring to buy a plush toy before, but because it was too expensive, it never worked.
Mother Wang Hua came out and saw what Xu Zhi bought, and complained: "You really waste money, how much is this doll?"
"20." Xu Zhi didn't dare to tell the truth, it was actually 40, this thing is really expensive, and the original price is still 60.
Xu Yaxin looked at the plush toy, and suddenly seemed to think of something, immediately threw Doraemon aside, and asked secretly: "What about your manuscript fee, take me a look, I haven't seen so much money yet?"
In the 70s, the per capita monthly income of Xiangjiang was only four or five hundred Hong Kong dollars, and 3,000 is indeed a large amount.
Xu Zhi: "It's already been saved, why are you putting so much on your body?"
Xu Yaxin snorted: "Don't think I'll be bought by this toy! I know you have a few big scalpers!"
Xu Zhi smiled generously: "Then what do you want?"
Xu Yaxin thought about it, put away her left hand, and counted from her little finger: "It's not much, I lack a bicycle, a schoolbag, and the dress I saw LancΓ΄me last time, I heard that Dior came out with a good perfume, by the way, Ah Fang said that there will be a concert in Macau soon......."
Xu Zhi: ".................."
Wang Hua ignored his daughter and pointed to the carton Xu Zhi put on the table: "Why are you buying cakes?"
Xu Zhi smiled: "Just buy it back to celebrate, our family hasn't eaten cake for a long time!"
In these years, the quality of life of ordinary people in Xiangjiang is not as good as that of ordinary urban families in the mainland in later generations, Xu Zhi's family conditions are okay, but the concept of his parents is still that he does not need to spend much money, even if he had a birthday before, that is, he ate better, and rarely bought cakes.
"I'm going to take a bite first!" Xu Yaxin just finished speaking, and ran over and began to untie the string.
Wang Hua immediately grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute, are you in such a hurry?"
"No, I want to eat!" Xu Yaxin played a coquettish trick.
Xu Zhi smiled: "Then let's eat a little first." β
Xu Yaxin saw that there was support, and immediately laughed and said, "Just eat a little!"
Wang Hua scolded with a smile: "You know how to eat, you are only allowed to eat one bite, and after eating, hurry up and do your homework." β
"Ahh
"Haha!" Xu Zhi laughed happily.
"Hmph!" Xu Yaxin's mood after eating the cake was completely ruined, and she pulled Xu Zhi to the living room and said, "Brother, when will your novel be in the newspaper?"
Xu Zhidao: "Within a week!"
Xu Yaxin shouted again: "Ah, I have to wait so long, let me tell you, my classmates like your novels very much, you can give me the plot later!"
After being rejected by Ming Pao a week ago, Xu Zhi agreed with his sister to bring some of the plot from the beginning of the novel to their school.
It was only a few days, and it immediately became popular in the school, and some teachers felt it was interesting to watch.
But Xu Zhi refused to give the manuscript to his sister, and she had to copy it herself, which made her miserable, after all, she had to go to school most of the time and do homework at home. I can only copy two or three thousand words a day of hard work. Until now, I have barely copied the first major chapter.
Xu Zhi smiled: "No, the newspaper is coming out soon, let them buy it themselves in the future!"
Xu Yaxin said: "But the newspaper is so expensive, can't afford it?"
"I didn't let each of you buy it, it's not okay to buy one copy in a classroom, everyone will look at it instead. Xu Zhi remembered that when he used to read Kunlun and Sou Shen Ji in his previous life, the whole class was like this, it was still high school, and the two books were serialized in two books in martial arts and fantasy, one was 5 yuan, around 00 years, 10 yuan a week was quite luxurious to buy books. So everyone bought a copy together, then tore it all off and passed it around one by one. However, the theory is no problem, but in practice, the number of pages that most people read is messed up, but they are just as good as they are.
The newspapers in Xiangjiang are not too expensive, the first-line newspapers such as Ming Pao are almost 1 yuan a piece, and the cheap third-rate newspapers are only five or six cents.
Xu Yaxin said again: "Our teacher wants to copy your novel and send it to other schools, and he wants to meet you, can you read it?"
Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, how can I have that time, and I can't make copies!"
In this era, photocopiers were not yet popular, and when Xu Zhi first said it, no one around him knew what it was, except for the large-scale printing of newspapers, and he could only choose ink printing in schools.
According to Xu Zhi's original idea, if he can't find a good newspaper, he will send out the novel for free, so that the pirated version will be popular all over Xiangjiang first, and it will naturally become very famous, and the next step will be much easier.
Now the situation has changed, find a newspaper, since the contract has been signed, then the plan will be suspended first, and then they will talk about it when they are serialized, and if the effect is good, there is no need to take this trick, and if it is not good, it will be carried out according to the original plan. Originally, I was still very worried about where the money for copying would come from, but Xu Zhi had the first batch of manuscript fees, and his heart was also settled, after all, piracy also costs money.
PS:1: This book is a slow heat type, and the previous ones are a bit boring, so I hope you can understand more.
2: The routine is actually very old-fashioned, but looking at the whole theme, it is a rebirth theme, and there are few first pots of gold that are logically no big problem, so the book will be old-fashioned once at the beginning, and the story will be different later
3: Ask for collection, recommendation, orange cat wants to hit the rookie list once, there is a small mosquito leg hair push!
