There was news that the publishing house was looking for him to publish a book, and Gu Yu knew about it at noon the next day, lying on the hospital bed.

At that time, Ma Yiyi had already returned to school, and it was told by his sister Li Shuangye when she brought him food at noon.

The manuscript unit is also a coincidence, which is the National Science and Technology Publishing House where Aunt Li works.

Science and technology publishing units, looking for academic public figures who are currently hot to ask for manuscripts, can be regarded as a routine operation in the industry.

"Brother, do you see if you've been free lately, if you're not free, you can write after the winter vacation. Futaba watched his brother eat, and sat on the edge of the hospital bed to discuss with him,

They all said that whether popular science books sell well or not has little to do with the title and status of scholars. As long as there are many fans on the Internet, it is easy to sell if the writing is funny.

In your case, pick the right entry point and write in simple terms, and the first printing of 50,000 copies will definitely be no problem to sell out in a year. However, it is estimated that you will not be able to see the royalty income of tens of thousands of books, so it is important not to be tired. ”

"I'm actually not tired, I can be discharged from the hospital today. Gu Yu casually comforted his sister.

His illness cannot be detected by the current medical conditions. He was actually fine, but after waking up yesterday, he occasionally dizzy for a while, without warning, which made the doctors feel strange, so he observed all night and did not dare to let him be discharged immediately.

Only Gu Play summed up the law by himself: every time he saw netizens replying to news and posts in the newspaper or on the Internet, revealing his envy for Wang Jingming or Fengyun Fund's investment and fame and fortune, his dizziness would worsen.

Obviously, it is the "ideological steel seal" implanted by the earthlings, and it is not possible to see that because of Gu Play's behavior, he will share dividends, immortals and chickens and dogs with speculative speculation.

After the cesium atomic clock project is completely completed, he will get the full balance of the project, and more than 1 million US dollars will be credited to the account.

At present, writing a popular science bestseller with an expected sales volume of 50,000 yuan, even considering that the royalty share of popular science works is relatively high and expensive, it is basically a 20 yuan income for a book.

In other words, it's just a million-dollar gain. For Gu Play, the attraction of money is not very great.

However, considering that after the end of the cesium atomic clock project, he may not be able to take on new jobs immediately, and he is idle.

Moreover, the publication of some popular science monographs is a matter of accumulating yin and virtue, and it is spreading the fire for the great cause of science.

Perhaps, as long as he starts to write, he can make the ideological steel seal stop a little, and he can also clear his sin of being hitchhiked by Wang Jingming.

Therefore, even if it is just for your own physical and mental health, you should take the time to write this book, not just the money.

After thinking about all this, Gu Yu calmly promised his sister: "I took this job, in fact, I am not very busy in the follow-up." It is estimated that around the beginning of January, our things will be handed over to Tunghai University for integration.

Then, in late January, Tunghai University will submit all of them for trial production, and by the end of February, they will be handed over to NASA to begin integration with satellites and rockets, and they will be launched in July.

Therefore, I can learn to drive while taking time to code words during the summer vacation, so you can tell Aunt Li that I will try to come up with a manuscript after the year. ”

Li Shuangye didn't expect her brother to agree so happily, and she was very happy.

……

After more than half a month, his life was ordinary and lackluster.

The scientific research work in the laboratory is actually progressing faster than before - mainly because after Gu's trick of playing the "fox fake tiger power" fake experience was exposed, his credibility in the laboratory has increased.

Starting from director Shi Jingqian to assistant researcher Wang Yifang, they are all willing to adopt Gu Play's conjectures more, and the control group with detours is also set up less.

After all, there are only a few people who really have scientific discipline, and most people are still willing to gamble with the crowd.

Especially when this kind of following the crowd already has the support of public opinion, and then makes mistakes in the future, they will not be held accountable because the law does not hold the public accountable, and everyone will be more open-minded.

It is definitely unscientific and unrigorous to do this, but for people like Gu Play who directly open the answers, it can be regarded as a kind of urgency.

The research on the "Atomic Fountain" sub-project passed the final sprint stage without any problems, and then delivered on time on January 12 in a low-key manner.

On the day of delivery, Gu Wan and his colleagues in the laboratory had a celebration banquet together, and asked the contracting company to send someone to distribute red envelopes, and then they dispersed-

Although Gu Play himself is the contact person of the management, he will not personally come forward to send red envelopes. Because he was a student after all, he didn't want the teachers and researchers to have the embarrassing impression that "I was hired by a student."

The pressure to pretend has been installed in advance, and when it came to the day of the day, it did not make any waves, because everyone was psychologically prepared.

During these days, the only thing that made Gu Play feel a little sorry was that he spent Christmas Eve and Christmas in the laboratory, so he lost the opportunity to deepen his relationship.

Fortunately, Ma Yiyi is also busy studying, and she doesn't have time to go out with boys and party, so she won't be cut off.

In the days when he was in retreat, the urban legends about him spread farther and farther, and the achievement of 500,000 followers of the blog was finally achieved in early January.

In addition, during this period of time, Gu Wan also occasionally took the time to code and write tens of thousands of words of the monograph that was supposed to be written by Aunt Li.

This is not because Gu plays too hard, but sometimes, he finds that he can make his brain feel comfortable and do other things more efficiently, which is simply an immediate alleviation of the side effects of the "thought steel seal".

……

The third day after the project is delivered, a Friday.

Gu Wan, who has temporarily finished his scientific research work, is devoting himself to the final exam, because the final exam will be a two-week period starting next week.

At dinner time, Gu Yu suddenly received a phone call, which was from his cousin Zhou Xuan:

"I have already let the financial settlement of the R&D contract for the atomic fountain project, and my aunt should have received it today. ”

As mentioned earlier, the shell company of Gu Wan's contracted scientific research projects is his mother Ye Di who helps deal with account transactions and external contacts, so even if the money arrives, it is temporarily with his mother, not Gu Wan's private accounts.

If Gu Wan wants to withdraw it directly, it will be according to the dividends and pay the income tax. Therefore, most people who open a company, even if they want to spend money on private users, choose to keep the money in the public account and spend it in the name of the company.

For example, if you need to buy a car or a house, you can buy it in the name of the company, which is a new fixed asset of the company, but it is only for private use, so you don't have to pay income tax.

You don't have to worry about these vulgar things.

"It's only been two or three days since the acceptance, why is it so fast? By the way, how much is it in total?" Gu Yu was eating a bowl of Pian Erchuan for three yuan a bowl in the cafeteria, listening to his cousin talk about million-dollar earnings, this scene was really a bit weird.

"Of course, it's almost there, if it weren't for me, the vice president, to personally help you keep an eye on the finances and change to other contractors, you would have the shortest 45-day account period. ”

Zhou Xuan's tone was a little proud, "Anyway, the total is 3.5 million US dollars, and I forgot how much I have prepaid before, this time I will make up the final payment." ”

Gu Wan listened to it, and silently calculated that the expenses he gave to the Central University of Science and Technology were about more than 2.1 million US dollars. However, there are also financial costs, other hidden expenses, and tax costs for the operation of shell companies.

It is estimated that in the end, he will be able to pocket a net profit of more than 1.2 million US dollars.

The research and development of the atomic fountain finally earned him his first pot of gold.

Of course, if you include the scholarships and bonuses that you received for scientific discoveries, strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as the second pot of gold.

From the turnover capital of 6.7 million yuan to the balance of 1.2 million US dollars, the end of this project, Gu Wan's capital has really increased by 15 times.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated. Because his intellectual achievements such as mental work and scientific research planning should actually be included in the cost.

"Thank you, brother, I know, please get together for the New Year. Gu Yu hasn't figured out what career this money should invest in next, so for the time being, he can only express his gratitude to his cousin first.

Zhou Xuan's tone on the phone was very natural: "You kid must bleed, I, the vice president of the venture capital fund, have not earned as much as you for a year, far less than you!"

Now it seems that compared with your kind of coercion, my vice president is a joke, I don't know if there is one million yuan a year, I really have the heart of **, and make cabbage money. ”

"Okay, don't complain, when the time comes, you can order whatever you want, and the clubhouse is tender. Gu Yu said and hung up the phone.

There was no word that night.

The next day was Saturday, and Gu Yu went to the library early in the morning to review.

Although it is opened, the direction of basic research in physics in this life is not completely consistent with that of the previous life, so it is still necessary to study hard before the exam and check and fill in the gaps.

In addition to reviewing, Gu Yu also brought the laptop he bought when he was engaged in scientific research this semester, so that he could code Braille at any time when he was inspired.

Reading books in the library, I saw that at about ten o'clock in the morning, a text message came in from Gu Wan's mobile phone.

He took it out and looked at it, it was sent by Ma Yiyi:

"I wish you a happy birthday tomorrow in advance, are you free tomorrow? You don't have to go to the lab anymore, do you? I'm in the library all day today, and it's not convenient to speak, so I'm texting and chatting. ”

Gu Yu hadn't seen Ma Yiyi for more than half a month, and he felt strange in his heart, so he immediately replied: "Thank you, I'm also in the library." ”

The other party replied quickly: "I'm in the east self-study area on the sixth floor, come to me, meet and talk." ”

Gu Yu packed up his things and went to Ma Yiyi according to the text message.

When Ma Yiyi saw him, she showed a look of joy and waved her hand quietly.

Gu Yu walked over quickly, and the two sides exchanged a few words of concern.

Ma Yiyi was careful, and noticed that Gu Yu was carrying a schoolbag and his hands were full of review materials, so he asked casually, "Did you bring all the things?"

Gu Yu was a little confused: "Didn't you ask me to come over?"

Ma Yiyi touched her forehead with her hand: "You didn't leave two books to occupy a place?"

"Nope. ”

"If you leave directly, you will definitely be occupied by other people immediately, how can you discuss changing places with the classmates next to me? Do you know how difficult it is to grab a place in the library before the final exam?"

Gu Yu shrugged: "That's nothing, it's a big deal to study in a quiet place." ”

Ma Yiyi inserted her waist, pouted her lower lip, and blew a pinch of air bangs on her forehead: "Forget it, you still squeeze with me." ”
