At Christmas, Liu Xiangdong called Pang Chunfang.

Liu Xiangdong didn't call Pang Chunfang much, and he usually called to greet him on holidays such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.

At Christmas, there are events in all departments, and the activities of the Department of Foreign Languages are of course the most eye-catching.

Liu Xiangdong was arrested by the people in Yao Shijing's dormitory to decorate the event venue, and several people in the dormitory asked Liu Xiangdong to invite him to dinner. It's been more than three months since school started, and they finally have the opportunity to catch Liu Xiangdong once and want to eat a big family.

Yao Shijing knew that Liu Xiangdong continued to repair the machine, so she didn't worry about his funds anymore.

During the meal, only Zhao Cuiying took a boy, and the rest were still single. In the eyes of others, Yao Shijing certainly can't be singled, and Liu Xiangdong has been confirmed as Yao Shijing's family.

In December in City B, the temperature is also five or six degrees, which is suitable for hot pot.

The steaming pot and the eight young people full of vitality all ate happily.

After Christmas, the first snow in City B finally came, and it was much more difficult for Liu Xiangdong to run his business, and sometimes he had to go out to fight for safety. He finally felt that the motorcycle didn't seem to work yet, and he didn't want to buy a car.

Although a second-hand car can be bought for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, Liu Xiangdong's money in his own hands is enough now, but he still hasn't decided to buy a car, his first goal is to build a two-story red brick house at home.

Liu Xiangdong decided that his first book was "You Can Succeed Too". Half of this book is copied, and the other half is some of my feelings from my past life. The book was written a month ago, and Liu Xiangdong revised it five or six times before finally deciding to send it after New Year's Day.

Along with the manuscript of the book, there is also a brief introduction attached by Liu Xiangdong himself. Tell these publishers that he is the top student in the science college entrance examination in the second OOO year of X Province, with a total score of 738, which is a peak that is difficult to break through.

Liu Xiangdong chose three publishing houses.

The second week after the manuscript was submitted, two publishers wrote back to Liu Xiangdong, asking for an interview on the publication.

Liu Xiangdong took the reply letter from the publishing house and asked the head of the department for a week's vacation.

Armed with the manuscript of another book, "Chicken Soup for the Soul", Liu Xiangdong took the train to the city of G, where the first publishing house was located.

The first publishing house was very optimistic about Liu Xiangdong's top prize in the college entrance examination, and the conditions given were: 50,000 yuan to buy out the manuscript, and only 100,000 copies were printed for the first time. If it is reprinted, Liu Xiangdong will be paid a copyright fee of 0.3 yuan for each copy.

At the same time, the publisher also promised to consider publishing Liu's second book if it sold well.

Liu Xiangdong felt that the conditions given by the first publishing house were already very good, so he did not continue to run the second publishing house, but just called to ask about the other party's conditions.

The conditions of the second publishing house are worse than the first, and they are only willing to pay 40,000 yuan to buy out the manuscript, and only give Liu Xiangdong 0.2 yuan for each reprint.

In the end, Liu Xiangdong directly signed a publishing contract with the first publishing house and got a manuscript fee of 50,000 yuan. Liu Xiangdong is not completely sure whether this book will become popular, but he feels that there should be no problem in printing another million copies. If you earn three cents per copy when you reprint it, you will have an income of 300,000 yuan for one million copies.

Three days later, Liu Xiangdong returned to school to continue his classes, and no one knew that he had earned 50,000 yuan in three days. Of course, it took more than three days to write that book.

The publisher plans to put Mr. Liu's books on the shelves of bookstores nationwide before the Chinese New Year. Therefore, a week after returning to school, Liu Xiangdong got two sample books sent to him by the publishing house.

On the cover of the book, it was written in bold letters: The top student in the science college entrance examination tells you that you can also succeed.

There is also a line of small print below: The author Liu Xiangdong, the champion of the science college entrance examination in the second OOO year of X Province, has a total score of 738 points.

The book is one hundred and twenty-five pages long and priced at nine dollars and five.

Liu Xiangdong carefully checked the layout and content of the book, and found no typos, so he was relieved.

Liu Xiangdong knew that a week before the Spring Festival, he would be able to see his first book in major bookstores. The fact that my book can be published and may sell well is completely in the name of consuming the top student in the college entrance examination.

The brothers in the dormitory are busy, because the final exams of the first semester of college are about to begin, and no one wants to fail the first college exam.

Liu Xiangdong is also reviewing carefully, he doesn't pay attention in class, and if he doesn't care about reviewing, he may capsize in the gutter. If he, the top student in the college entrance examination, fails the course, will he break his glasses?

After three days of exams, even Liu Xiangdong didn't remember how many courses he had taken.

After the exams are over, the winter vacation is coming, and many new students who have been away from home for a long time for the first time have long wanted to go home to see their parents. Yao Shijing's mood is the same as that of other freshmen. When she asked Liu Xiangdong to buy a ticket together, she was shocked by Liu Xiangdong's decision.

"Xiangdong, you want to stay and wait until a few days before the Spring Festival to go back?"

"Yes, the period before the Spring Festival is the time for the maintenance of equipment in various factories, and when the business is the busiest, how can I go back. I had already written to my parents that I would be back later. ”

"Then, then I'll go back later with you. Also, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well, yes, you can help me call and do some return visits. Service attitude is very important, they may be repeat customers in the future. ”

"I don't know what to say. ”

"Don't worry, I'll teach you, it's very simple. ”

Shen Hong also asked Liu Xiangdong and Yao Shijing to go home together, and when she heard that Liu Xiangdong and Yao Shijing stayed to be busy with business, she also stayed and wanted to run business with Liu Xiangdong.

The classmates all went back, and after Liu Xiangdong sent two large bags of sausages to Aunt Sun, who was in charge of the house, he was completely relieved to stay until three days before the Spring Festival.

Shen Hong ran over to live in Yao Shijing's dormitory, and Yao Shijing, under Liu Xiangdong's teaching, also learned how to bribe the housekeeper's aunt.

After Liu Xiangdong's demonstration twice, Yao Shijing fully mastered how to make a phone call.

Liu Xiangdong handed over his BB machine to Shen Hong and taught her how to take over business and how to set a time with customers. Shen Hong will also be able to get started soon.

The two girls came to the place rented by Liu Xiangdong, saw his motorcycle and work clothes, and sighed that Boss Liu's business is really getting bigger and bigger.

"Xiangdong, why are you working so hard to make money?" asked Shen Hong puzzled.

"My house is still adobe, and I have long vowed that as long as I have the ability, I will build a red brick house for my family, so that my parents can live in a good house as soon as possible. ”

"How much does it cost to build a red brick house?" Shen Hong asked again.

"Fifty or sixty thousand. ”

"How much do you earn now?"

"Enough is enough. ”

"Ah, how much money do you make repairing machines?"

"There's a sum of money that doesn't come from repairing machines, I'll tell you in the evening. ”

After dinner in the evening, Shen Hong and Yao Shijing both came to Liu Xiangdong's dormitory.

"Xiangdong, tell us quickly, what did you do to make a sum of money?" Shen Hong asked urgently as soon as he entered the door.

Liu Xiangdong handed the two sample books to the two girls.

Shen Hong and Yao Shijing saw Liu Xiangdong's book and the big black letters with a score of 738 on the cover, and knew that this book was written by Liu Xiangdong, and they were stunned again.

"Xiangdong, how much did you earn from this book?" Shen Hong finally reacted and asked.

"It depends on how much the book sells, and if the book can sell a million copies, I can make 300,000 yuan. ”

"What if only 10,000 copies are sold?"

"I've got the 50,000 yuan I bought out of the manuscript in my pocket. ”

"Your family has enough money to build a red brick house. Xiangdong, you're really amazing. While we were still spending our parents' money, you were already able to build a house for your parents. ”

"I'm just a little earlier, and you can do it later. ”

"To the east, your book will definitely sell well. Yao Shijing said with certainty that she believed in Liu Xiangdong the most.

"Thank you, and I hope it will sell more than a million copies. ”

"Xiangdong, if you really earn 300,000 yuan, how will you spend it?" asked Shen Hong.

"Buy a house, turn a two-wheeled motorcycle into a four-wheeled vehicle, and give each of you two secretaries a mobile phone. ”

"Hmph, local tyrant. ”
