During the Spring Festival, the Central Plains is still very cold.

In winter, most people use coal stoves for heating.

With years of national propaganda, there is always some gas poisoning happening every year.

But this kind of hidden danger is not in Ling Jiefang's home.

Because they use air conditioning in the winter.

There is not only one air conditioner in Ling Jiefang's house, but a total of 7, four bedrooms, two living rooms and a study, all installed.

However, they didn't pay for it, this is Wei Xiaofan from Huajing to congratulate them on helping the new house, and specially bought them to give them Japanese imported air conditioners, which ordinary people can't buy outside at all.

Hitachi's air conditioners don't make any noise, and the temperature is particularly suitable, so it's warm when you enter the house in winter, and it's even cooler in summer when you don't want to go out.

Its only downside is that electricity is too expensive.

For example, in the summer, the electricity bill for 7 air conditioners is more than 100 yuan, which is almost two months' salary for a family in the city.

It's the same in winter, it took more than 500 yuan to use it for more than half a year, if it was changed before, Mrs. Ling would never dare to use it like this.

But why dare you use it now?

Because Ling Jiefang published two books and made a lot of money.

Needless to say, it is only more than 5,000 yuan for publishing in China, after all, it is now a one-price buyout in China.

What really makes Ling Jiefang make a lot of money is the royalty share of the Qilin culture from Xiangjiang.

A friend that Ling Jiefang knew, that is, Bao Qingtian Wei Xiaofan, who is famous all over the country, happened to be the vice president of the Kirin Group and the general manager of the Huajing branch of the Kirin Group.

He admired Ling Jiefang's talent very much, and applied for the "Art Development Fund" of the Kirin Group for Ling Jiefang a few years ago.

Then at the end of 82, Ling Jiefang wrote his first part - "Emperor Kangxi • Capture the Palace", and after showing it to Wei Xiaofan, Wei Xiaofan not only contacted the domestic publishing for him, but also helped Ling Jiefang sell the global copyright.

The so-called global copyright is actually the Chinese traditional Chinese version, and then there are a lot of things such as film and television adaptation rights.

The first book published in China, "Emperor Kangxi • Capture the Palace", brought more than 2,000 income to Ling Jiefang, which is equivalent to Ling Jiefang's salary for three years, which greatly improved the life of Ling Jiefang's family.

But compared to the money given by the Qilin culture in Xiangjiang, this is simply scum.

The first royalty given by Kylin Culture is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus film and television copyright fees, a total of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

When the money was converted into RMB and handed over to Ling Jiefang's home by the people of the Huajing Branch of the Kirin Group through remittance, Ling Jiefang and Mrs. Ling couldn't believe it with the passbook.

Even for the next seven or eight days, they didn't get a good night's sleep - the passbook was pressed under the pillow, and they almost didn't dare to leave for a moment.

After more than a month, their lives returned to normal, but they still did not dare to use the money, for fear that one day the state would send someone to say that this was illegal income and must be handed over to the public.

However, after more than two months, the second royalty came one after another, and it was 100,000 Hong Kong dollars converted into RMB, which made the two of them a little numb.

But this time, in addition to the second royalty, the employees of the Huajing branch of Kirin Group also brought a tax payment certificate from the Ministry of Culture, which made them feel much more at ease.

Finally, the money can be used.

It was also at this time that Ling Jiefang learned that his book was popular in the Chinese circle throughout Asia and was selling very well, and the second reprint had also been sold out, and the third batch was being urgently printed, and the number had doubled.

It was also at this time that he realized that every time a book published in Xiangjiang was printed, royalties would be paid according to the contract, and the more it was sold, the more he would get a share.

Compared with Xiangjiang's approach, the domestic publishing buyout model is simply a kind of plundering of authors.

Almost 60,000 yuan of income, how to spend it, Ling Jiefang also made a special call to ask Wei Xiaofan.

Putting down the phone, he told his wife to see if there was a house with a good location, and then before moving, he bought a lot of new furniture and appliances.

Now the house he lives in is a large courtyard house of more than 300 square meters, in addition to two courtyards, it is also divided into 12 rooms.

In addition to living in a family of three, they also brought their parents over, so the house was not so deserted.

Then, in August of 83, the second part of Ling Jiefang's "Kangxi Emperor" "Secret Words of the Wind" was also written, and it was still published in the previous two ways, and the film and television rights were sold.

In fact, Ling Jiefang didn't know how much the film and television copyright was resold, but he signed the offer that Kirin Culture took without reading it.

In his words, "I believe that Mr. Wei will not lie to me, he and Kirin Culture are my benefactors." ”

With the foreshadowing of the first part, the number of initial prints of the second part of "Emperor Kangxi • Secret Words of the Storm" has increased several times, so that by the end of this year's Spring Festival, there was an extra 100,000 yuan in the passbook put by Ling Jie.

What made him even happier was that the person who came to deliver the money also brought him some newspaper clips, which were all about the evaluation of "The Emperor Kangxi".

The comments of more than a dozen newspapers are all appreciative of "The Great Kangxi" for being superbly written and penetrating into three points, which is simply a rare emperor in recent years.

Literati, after being satisfied with food and clothing, what they like most is honor and appreciation.

Originally, high sales represented popularity, and now the literati have sung praises to him, so it is no wonder that Ling Jie is relieved.

For this reason, his enthusiasm for writing the third part of "The Emperor Kangxi" has been much higher.

When it was time for the Spring Festival, the Ling family and his wife's family came to his new home for the New Year, and Ling Jiefang raised his eyebrows rarely.

He not only set up five tables of luxurious banquets that can be called chickens, ducks and fish, but also gave a large amount of red envelopes.

The parents of both sides took 1,000 yuan each.

Now there is no 100 yuan a piece, at most only 10 yuan a piece, and 100 thick pieces are squeezed into the red envelope, which makes the relatives stunned.

Then the second brother, the third sister, the eldest brother-in-law, and the younger sister-in-law...... And so on, all of them are 500 yuan of red envelopes.

Even the children can get a huge red envelope of 50 yuan, and they are so happy that they scream.

This can't blame Ling Jie for letting the couple give money indiscriminately, it was really too hard a few years ago, and he has always been taken care of by his family.

For example, when they first got married, they didn't have anything, and these relatives didn't bring them less food and clothing.

After the birth of her daughter, didn't my sister-in-law carry 100 eggs from her hometown to supplement her wife's nutrition?

Now that they have finally made money, of course they have to repay their families.

This is also a manifestation of the general development of the Chinese people.

Wealth is not obvious, just like a brocade at night, right?

……

The fate of those who have been changed is far from being released by more than one Ling Jiefang.

The "Literature and Art Development Fund", which has to be subsidized every month, has now been raised to $10 million.

According to the high interest rate of the US dollar, its income in a year is 1.4 million US dollars, that is, 3.25 million yuan.

Although it is really a bit of a loss according to the official exchange rate, this is money issued by the official cultural department, and naturally it cannot follow the 1:5 exchange rate of the black market.

At present, more than 5,000 writers, screenwriters, poets and directors have been and are being subsidized, and they are given 50-100 yuan per month.

And with the funding of this money, many people have already made achievements like Ling Jiefang.

In 81 years, Qilin Culture has published 15 books for mainland writers.

The sales were not very good at that time, even if it was published for Chinese people all over Asia, the best short story collection by Lu Yao only sold about 15,000 copies, but the income of more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars still greatly encouraged him.

The same is true of other writers and private individuals, who have devoted themselves to writing and creating better works.

As a result, in 82 years, Kirin Culture published 39 books, poetry collections, essays and other works.

In 83, Qilin Culture published 85 books, poetry collections, essays and other works.

Moreover, with the familiarity of overseas Chinese with them, and the elimination of prejudice against some cultural people in the mainland, sales have also increased significantly.

The best is naturally Februaryhe's "The Emperor Kangxi", which sold more than 100,000 copies in one go, and is still being reprinted.

And then the works of other authors are seven or eight thousand, one or twenty thousand, thirty or fifty thousand......

In the huge overseas Chinese market, there are always many of their bosom friends, which has also made them highly evaluated, as well as the manuscript fee income they need most at this time.

The income from the manuscript fee given to them by Qilin Culture is, of course, registered and reported through official channels, and then paid taxes on behalf of them in accordance with the law, and then handed over to the authors in person, everything is legal and reasonable, so that people can't find the slightest fault.

If you want to say that the officials are not red-eyed, it must be fake.

But they don't want to put it in their own bags, but now they need money everywhere for their work, and they are almost crazy poor, and they can't wait to use it in their own department.

But this matter is tracked and handled by Kirin Culture throughout the process, and they can't do it if they want to.

Considering the strength of the Kirin Group, considering the opening of a food factory, Xiao Lao and Yun Lao would personally go over to congratulate them, and few people dared to use their brains.

These literary and artistic workers can earn their own labor income through their wisdom and talent, which is a great move to improve their self-esteem for themselves.

Literati must hate food that comes from souring, and it is very gratifying that they can write books, poems, and scripts to earn money.

This is the case with these literary and art workers in the mainland now.

With such a huge Chinese market abroad, even if their sales are average, with this standard of living in China, it is enough to become rich.

In that case, why shouldn't they work hard?
