"Crackling ......"

Firecrackers flew and a puff of green smoke rolled up, and after a period of preparation, Zhu's father Zhu Guangming's building materials store finally officially opened.

Zhu Dad's building materials store is not like other stores, after the opening of the store to invite people into the store to patronize, do a promotion or something, now in the early days, the business in the store is mainly from Zhu Dad used to be a contractor is to know those contractors.

The firecrackers are just for the sake of joy, just to let the people passing by know that there is a building materials store here, and after the firecrackers are over, everyone will return to the store, as for the customers or something, it is estimated that no one will come to the door for a while......

The shop specializes in wall tiles, floor tiles, and plumbing, and the wooden shelves in the middle of the store are filled with various samples of tiles, even the wall on the right, and the stainless steel sink, marble sink, and plumbing on the left side of the store.

Zhu's father must not be able to take care of this shop alone, so he found the youngest son of the distant second uncle, and killed his cousin Zhu Mingyan, who was going to drop out of school, to follow him.

After Zhu Mingli and the others walked around Zhu's father's shop, they admired the various tiles in the store and returned to the shoe store next to them.

Just this wave of firecrackers, the building materials store did not attract business, but attracted a few customers to patronize the shoe store......

Now, the business of the shoe store has remained stable, and it is almost impossible to do it without losing money every day, and the main business of the shoe store has been put on the online store.

When Zhu Mingli went to military training, the shoes in the shoe store began to be sold on the shelves of the online store, because of the price, naturally there was not as much sales as the previous sales of mesh shoes, but there was a price advantage, although the daily sales were only half of the previous one, but the profit did not decrease, but increased.

However, under the care of Zhu Ma, Tang Yiting and others, the affairs of the online store and shoe store do not need Zhu Mingli to worry about at all.

It has been a week since he returned from military training, and in addition to exercising, writing novels, playing music, and playing ball, the only major thing Zhu Mingli has done is last Thursday, that is, on August 20, at the Hilton Hotel in the downtown area, he signed a physical publishing authorization for the English versions of "The Martian" and "Wasteland" with Random House, a major American publisher

The well-known Searchlight Twentieth Century Fox Film Company and the American classic movie cable TV station AMC signed the film and television adaptation rights of "The Martian" and "Wasteland" respectively.

Before the military training, Zhu Mingli entrusted Liu Wei to negotiate with the publisher, and Liu Wei then formed a seven-member negotiation team to contact the major publishers.

After more than a week of negotiations, the English publishing rights of "The Martian" and "Wasteland" were finally sold to Random House, which bought out the English book rights of "The Martian" for $840,000 and "Wasteland" for $460,000, a total of $1.3 million.

At this meeting, Zhu Mingli did not enjoy the same sales share as the domestic physical publication of "Wasteland", and there was no way that although Zhu Mingli belonged to the buyer's market, the publisher was the boss and could earn $1.3 million, or because other publishers competed for it.

However, the authorization of copyright is also time-limited, after 10 years, the physical publishing rights of the two books will return to Zhu Mingli's hands, and after 10 years, the publisher must also buy the license from Zhu Mingli if he wants to publish the two more books.

However, Zhu Mingli himself did not hold out much hope.

And Zhu Mingli himself was very satisfied after learning about this price, although he was a little regretful.

As for the film and television rights of the two books, "The Martian" is the most suitable for making movies, and "Wasteland" has the later American drama "The Walking Dead" as a reference, which is the most suitable for making TV series.

So, in the end, Searchlight bought the film adaptation rights of "Mars" for $500,000 and "Wasteland" for $250,000, and AMC bought the TV adaptation rights for the two books for $150,000 and $300,000 respectively.

In this way, after signing the contract, the book copyright and film and television copyright of the two books were sold, and Zhu Mingli suddenly went from a millionaire to a multimillionaire!

After a year of rebirth, from penniless to tens of millions of net worth, Zhu Mingli, who had just been reborn, clearly realized that he could not become the protagonist of the rebirth stream described in the novel, and could not be more satisfied.

For the future, as an ordinary person and willing to live a low-key and ordinary life, Zhu Mingli does not have a grand plan and a clear pursuit, he can only take one step at a time.

Life continues as usual, online novels are written for three hours a day, three or four chapters are coded out and save, and the exercise is still thunderous, and even now parents don't have to go to work early in the morning, Zhu Mingli also teaches them to practice Tai Chi and Baduanjin every morning.

Zhu Mingli didn't tell his parents at all that the bank card he kept in Zhu's mother now has more than 20 million yuan, and now Zhu's mother and Zhu's father's stores have opened one after another, although there is no big profit, but it is enough for the family to live a rich life.

Although it is impossible to have no money, but sometimes the more money is really not the better, for a family like Zhu Mingli, in a short period of time, too much money may increase the unnecessary troubles and rights and wrongs, one million is enough and acceptable.

In terms of making money, Zhu Mingli adheres to the mentality of going with the flow, the parents' stores in the family have already supported the daily expenses of the family, and now there may be more online stores after earning one million a year to make the family rich, not to mention Zhu Mingli's online novels, writing for a few hours a day, may not be on the list of rich online writers in the future, but it is enough for Zhu Mingli to live a good life, and he can do whatever he wants.

Maybe the opportunity is coming, invest in relatives and friends to do some business and wait for dividends or something, as for the stocks and real estate that he thought about when he was just reborn, Zhu Mingli knows that he has some impressions of the 16-year bear market, but this is not reliable, if you really want to make a windfall, you can slowly go to the future Xiong District to stock up on a number of houses, and wait for appreciation......

Sometimes, Zhu Mingli will suddenly have a thought, feeling that he has embarrassed the predecessors of the rebirth stream, after being reborn, he will set a small goal for himself to earn him 100 million first, and then change the world every second, and he will be satisfied with 10 million or 20 million, and then he will wait for the old wife and children to hot the kang. Is it really a salted fish turning over or a salted fish!

But what about that?

Zhu Mingli has a notebook in which he has written down some interesting words, one of which is as follows: Only 5 percent of a person's life is wonderful, 5 percent is painful, and the other 90 percent is dull; people are often tempted by 5 percent of the splendor, endure 5 percent of the pain, and spend 90 percent of the life in the ordinary.

Recently, Zhu Mingli played the guitar and learned a new guitar score for a song, which was "Mortal Song" by Mr. Li Zongsheng.

"You and I are mortals, and we are born in the world

Running around all day long, there is no time to be idle

Since he is not an immortal, he will inevitably have distracting thoughts

Morality is placed in the middle of the sharp words on both sides

How many men are angry

How many birds of the same forest have been composed of delphinium

Life is so short, why bother with bitter love

The lover is gone, who to cry out to injustice

Ask when you have seen it

The world is changing for people

With the look of your dreams

Is it even if you have a spring ......?"

Even if you are a reborn, you must be vigorous and change the world? Zhu Mingli doesn't think that it is true that at the end of prosperity, living his own small life is true!
