CHAPTER XXIX
"Didn't your novel just go on the market not long ago, and you got the money so quickly?" asked Zhu's father, Zhu Mingli never told his family about uploading the novel on Amazon, and they didn't know any news.
"What kind of online store did you sign up for, and it cost a lot of money?! Hurry up and shut him down, I won't do those things!" Zhu's mother directly refused, "You can study with peace of mind, don't worry about our business! You can write that novel, but don't worry about making money now, that is after you graduate from college in the future."
The most important thing for you now is to study hard!"
"Speaking of money, parents, I think our family is not bad for money now......," Zhu Mingli confessed, "There is one thing I have not told you, I translated the novel I wrote into English and published it on foreign websites for paid download, as of now, excluding the share of the website, I can get 280,000 US dollars, which is more than 2 million in RMB, and there will be more readers who pay to download it in the future!"
In addition, there are already foreign publishers who are interested in buying the copyright of the novel, and at least hundreds of thousands of copyright fees, and there are also film and television copyrights that can be sold......
It is conservatively estimated that in the next few years, I will probably get about $1 million in royalties just by selling the rights to my two novels.
So, Mom and Dad, you should really consider moving to an easy job......"
"Bang dang ......" Zhu Mingli's voice did not fall, only a clang, Zhu Ma's rice bowl was not stable and fell on the table, if it weren't for Zhu Mingli's stainless steel bowl, it is estimated that it will be broken and safe......
The unfinished food in the bowl spilled on the table and the floor, and the soybeans and black beans squatting on the side hurriedly wagged their tails and ran over to destroy the food on the ground......
"Pop ......" Zhu's father was also shocked by Zhu Mingli's words, and the chopsticks holding the dish fell halfway on the table, so Zhu's father came back to his senses and said netently, "What you said is true?!" said as he reached out to lift the beer at his feet, his hands trembled a little because of the shock.
"It's true, I have already withdrawn the manuscript fee yesterday, and said that it will arrive in 24 hours, and it will be tonight at the latest......" Zhu Mingli was prepared for the shock of his parents, 280,000 US dollars, more than 2 million RMB, for a family like Zhu Mingli, it is no different from an astronomical amount.
Suddenly knowing that he has suddenly become a millionaire, anyone will be shocked to the point of being scared!
It's wise because I'm playing CF with my son, and I don't know about turning over at the dinner table......
"Ahem...... poured a few sips of beer, because Dad Zhu choked directly, coughed a few times, slowed down, and Dad Zhu took a few more sips.
Then Zhu's mother snatched the beer and drank the remaining one-fifth of the beer in one go, "You, I ......" Zhu's mother was still in a trance, she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth, she moaned and choked up, "I'll go sleep for a while......"
Then he staggered to his feet, Zhu Mingli hurriedly helped his mother, and said worriedly, "Mom......"
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Zhu's mother had tears in her eyes, and her mood at this time could not be described in words and words...... Out of the living room, Zhu's mother turned around and walked into the bedroom......
"Dad......" Zhu Mingli shouted, he suddenly felt that he was a little reckless in telling things and making things out, things can be said, but the specific figure of the manuscript fee should not be said, before Zhu Mingli wrote a novel, tens of thousands of yuan can be understood and accepted, but this suddenly became one or two million?!
"It's okay......" Although he drank several sips of beer in one breath and recovered from the shock of Zhu Mingli's "more than two million yuan", but when he thought of this number, Zhu Guangming's throat was still a little dry, he reached out and pinched Zhu Mingli's shoulder, which was rock-solid because of exercise this year ago, "You have a chance, I am very happy with your mother, I am very happy...... said An unspeakable emotion surged into his heart, Zhu's father's eyes were also a little red, he wiped his eyes and said, "You shout wisely to put the table away, and we will talk about other things in the afternoon...... ”
After saying that, Zhu's father also got up and walked out of the living room, he needed to go to the bedroom to be quiet, and accompany Zhu's mother by the way......
His parents left the dinner table one after another, and Zhu Mingli was a little overwhelmed for the first time in a year since he was reborn, he knew that he had been reckless just now, and the impact on his parents was too great......
It's not ten years later, if it were ten years later when Zhu Mingli told his parents that he had earned more than two million yuan by writing novels, they would also be shocked, but the relief was greater than the shock, because after years of struggle, they already had more than one million deposits in the bank, and although more than two million was much, it was not so far away......
But now the parents have a net worth of no more than 100,000, and more than 2 million popped up all of a sudden, although it came out of Zhu Mingli's mouth, it was so light, but it seemed that Fan Jin, who was in the middle of the lift, was directly stunned by these two million......
"Well, you're done eating?" Akechi didn't realize what had just happened, and after playing a game, he saw that his parents had left the table and thought they had finished eating, so he began to put away the dishes and chopsticks.
Zhu Mingli was brought back to his senses by the movement of wisely cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, so he got up from the chair and came to his parents' bedroom, wanting to call his parents, but he vaguely heard his mother's choked voice, and after thinking about it, he turned around and went back to his room upstairs.
Lying on the bed, all kinds of thoughts came flooding back, and my head was like paste, tossing and turning for a while, and then I fell asleep in a daze......
……
After only sleeping for half an hour, Zhu Mingli was woken up by the alarm clock, and when he opened his eyes, Zhu Mingli saw his parents sitting in front of his bed looking at him.
"Ah, Dad, Mom......" Zhu Mingli's head was a little dizzy, and he got up and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Mingli, I've thought about it with your father. Zhu's mother said, "You put your money in your bank card, save it well, and after graduating from college, you will marry your daughter-in-law and buy a house and a car."
However, the most important thing for you right now is to study hard and get admitted to a good university in the future!"
"Although money is good, it can't buy knowledge, and there will always be a time when it runs out. Zhu's father said.
Hearing that his mother's tone had returned to normal, Zhu Mingli breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and be admitted to a good university." ”
"If only you could think so. Okay, I'm going to work with your dad, when will your classmates leave in the evening? Help us prepare the dishes, I'll come back and make them!" Zhu's mother said, in fact, she was really shocked and frightened at first!
Millions, for her with an average monthly income of just over 4,000, this number is really terrifying, her eldest son earned it quietly, how can she not feel frightened?
But later, Zhu's father kept comforting and enlightening her, and slowly only the satisfaction of his son's success remained, and then it became worry, worried that the eldest son suddenly had such a large amount of money, swelled, and got carried away.
Fortunately, Zhu Mingli's mentality was more upright and peaceful than they imagined.
"Alas. Zhu Mingli saw that his parents just said these two words to himself and left, and hurriedly said, "Then parents, what do you think about the opening of the store I told you before?"
"I'll talk about it later......" Zhu's father waved his hand.
"You keep the money you earn, we won't want you. Zhu's mother said, "Besides, I don't know how to read and write in that online store, so I really can't get it." ”
"Oh, what's going to happen later, when will you have to wait?" Zhu Mingli said hurriedly, "Dad, you yourself are engaged in construction, you know whether there are more and more projects now, is this a good opportunity to open a building materials store?! If you don't seize this opportunity now, wait a few more years, the reconstruction project will basically be completed, and when will you think about opening a store at that time, there will be no such good prospects!"
You've been in this industry for so many years, some of you have connections, but what you lack is funds, and now the funds are coming in soon, when will you wait?"
"Yes, my manuscript fee of more than 2 million is indeed a huge amount of money, but if you think about it, when you think that I was so big, 10,000 yuan was a big deal, but now, any ordinary family can come up with 120,000 yuan.
In a few years, my more than 2 million yuan is not much money, and in a big city like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, I am afraid it will only be enough to buy a bathroom!
Money lying in the bank is the least valuable, and the best thing to do is to let the money make money. As you said, the most important thing for me now is to study, and I definitely can't do business, so I can only let you come.
Dad, you will let me invest money, for example, I will invest 1 million in you, and in a few years this million will become 3 million or 4 million, isn't it better?"
"To open a building materials store, it costs less than one million, and one of four or five hundred thousand is enough...... Zhu's father said, he was actually a little tempted, the reason why he refused before was that he had never done business seriously, and he was afraid of losing money......
"That's right, it's only four or five hundred thousand, and your son now has more than two million and nearly three million, how much is this money?" Zhu Mingli clapped his hands and said, the subtext is actually that even if Zhu's father loses money when he opens a store in the future, he can afford it!
"Think about this, think about it again,......" Zhu's father said, his eyes flashing, and he began to think about it in his heart.
"And Mom, don't refuse to open an online store, I'll do it on vacation anyway, you watch, if you do it well, you will take over when we start school in the future." If you don't do well, you'll close the store when school starts......"
