"After all, it's not an online novel for later generations, if you can inject water, write 10 million words, and write tens of thousands of words a day, it's not difficult, if you are a poor author that year, make a few million. In 1992, a few million people could buy about ten houses in the first-tier cities in China. Then I don't do anything, and in a decade or two, I will become a billionaire ......"

He Zilong's thinking deviated again, and the more he thought about it, the farther he became.

In the nineties, if there was money to invest in real estate in big cities in China, it would be sour, really, who did who knows. Fools make a fortune!

As long as you are willing to wait for time, spend more than ten or twenty years waiting, survive the boring period, and the consumption period, you will reap huge wealth. But He Zilong thought that he didn't have to wait, there was 100 million now, and it was still in Hong Kong dollars.

The association just now doesn't seem to be so excited.

I saw the expression on He Zilong's face, because of association, one moment excited, one moment flushed, one moment calm, just like the face of a child in June, fickle, outsiders don't know what he is thinking when they see it.

Jin Lao thought that he was too little, thought about it, and added to He Zilong: "Young man, this way, if you are willing to sign an exclusive contract with "Ming Pao", and it is a five-year contract, and the novels and new works published within five years are only serialized in our newspaper, then I can make the decision to double your remuneration again." 600 yuan per thousand words, of course, this is guaranteed, as long as the market reflects well, it will float!"

"What, if you sign a contract, can you still serialize it in other newspapers? There is still such a thing?" He Zilong was taken aback, as a part-time writer of later online novels, the situation at that time was that as long as he signed a contract. You can only publish your work on the website you signed on, and you can't publish multiple drafts.

Unexpectedly, in Hong Kong in the 90s, even if you signed a contract with a company, you could still publish the manuscript in other places and make a few copies of the money at the same time?

With this calculation, it is no wonder that the exclusive contract will double the remuneration. After all, if a person's work is good and he doesn't sign an exclusive, he publishes it in more than a dozen places at the same time. Even if there are places with less income, but there are more places, it only adds up to several times the income.

Then think about it, if you increase the number of words and write more braille in a year, it is really possible that in 1992, an author will earn about one million or more a year.

Of course, the premise is that the work is good.

Facing He Zilong's surprise, the corners of Jin Lao's mouth twitched. He was accustomed to naturally applying the thinking of Hong Kong people to He Zilong, and thought he knew how to do it, but it turned out as if he had missed something.

Just when he thought that any Hong Kong person would be willing to sign an exclusive contract in the face of his good works, he would definitely increase his income in order to increase his income.

He Zilong suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise to sign an exclusive contract with Ming Pao." If nothing else, it's worth it just for Mr. Cha!"

At this moment, Jin Lao's good impression of He Zilong increased greatly.

If He Zilong was a poor boy, he would definitely prefer to publish a few more places. But now he wants fame more than money. Is there a difference between hundreds of thousands more and hundreds of thousands less?

You must know how influential Jin Lao is in Hong Kong. I can make friends with a good student, and then become famous in Ming Pao. Build a solid foundation, why not?

I think back then, the history of Hong Kong media tycoon Yu Pinhai's fortune also started with the cooperation of Ming Pao and Jin Lao?

But then again, in 1991, he officially launched his media career, and bid with newspaper tycoon Murdoch to buy Hong Kong's "Ming Pao".

Anyway, he can be regarded as a disciple, and after Jin Lao retired, he successfully took over "Ming Pao" from Jin Yong at the age of 33 and became the second-generation owner of his newspaper group. He was later elected chairman of the Hong Kong Newspaper Union, founded Modern Daily, and acquired Asia Weekly.

At the beginning of the Internet, Yu Pinhai put forward the idea of Internet popularization, became the pioneer and promoter of the intelligent Internet, established Hong Kong's first Internet Service Provider (ISP) HKNet company, and at the same time brought the Internet technology that was still in the experimental stage into Ming Pao, and established the first news website of a Chinese-language newspaper.

In this way, it is also a green out of a blue to win a blue and enter a new era.

Coming out of Jin Lao's office, He Zilong not only got the signing contract, but also got an advance payment of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in advance.

"A rich kid from the mainland who has literary understanding, don't skip the ticket...... Well, he was already rich, so he shouldn't. Looking at He Zilong's distant figure, Jin Lao thought with some concern. It's no wonder that he is a little worried, after all, he can see at a glance that the clothes and gold watches on He Zilong's body add up to tens of thousands.

In other words, this is a person who has a love for literature, but does not live on literary income. But in order to improve his enthusiasm for writing and his sense of achievement, Jin Lao chose to give a large amount of manuscript fees to He Zilong in advance.

In Hong Kong, the average author can only take out a few months' income at most in advance, and it is impossible to give so much at once.

Because, the average author, many people will change their mentality after suddenly getting a large sum of money. Since then, he has only cared about spending time drinking, eating, drinking and having fun, but he has forgotten the most important "creation".

When the editor urged the update, it became a temporary pleasure to spend money and update the crematorium, not only the quality was not good, but the output was greatly reduced.

In fact, for people in any industry, the negative effect of getting rich is far N times stronger than the positive effect.

The National Bureau of Economic Research has released a survey. The survey, which used a sample of jackpot winners over the past 20 years, found that the bankruptcy rate of U.S. lottery winners was as high as 75 percent, with an average of 9 out of 12 winners going bankrupt.

In fact, it is the same in China, research shows that 44% of people who win lotto jackpots go bankrupt within five years. In other words, their situation is worse than before they became rich overnight. Lottery winners tend to have a changed mindset, alienate family and friends, become depressed, abuse drugs and alcohol, and have higher divorce and suicide rates than the general population.

If you hadn't won 100 million in the casino, it would have been so difficult to go, and you would have almost lost your life.

In fact, at that time, He Zilong's mentality couldn't be kept. As long as you continue to gamble and go again in the future, sooner or later not only will your money be gone, but your life may also be gone. Even if no one kills him and robs him of his money, as long as he loses nine out of ten bets over time, his luck will be unexpected. I haven't heard of people who fight for a long time in a casino, and finally be able to keep their money and go home.

Even the gambling god can't do it, unless it's a banker. Because only those who open casinos are 100% sure to win!

The importance of mindset to a person can be imagined!
