Chapter 034: King Zhou
Not to mention 1 million, just to say that 700,000 can be obtained, this is enough to buy a house in the center of a third-tier small city like FC City, where Xia Fan is located.
This is the money that parents like Xia Fan can earn by saving money and working hard all their lives.
In front of so much money, an ordinary high school student like Xia Fan is really a dirt bun, and he never dreamed that he would suddenly have so much money one day.
"Meow - stupid shovel officer of this palace, what are you fussing about?"
Mrs. Bao was still lying on the cushion next to the catnip, and asked lazily, her mind seemed to be much clearer now than before, at least she didn't talk nonsense.
"Ugh. β
Xia Fan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, turned around and said like a dream, "The editor told me that the publishing copyright of the physical book of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was sold for 1 million ......."
"1 million, if it's just the copyright of physical book publishing......"
Hearing his words, Lord Bao couldn't help but straighten his neck, and thought for a while before saying, "Actually, Bengong doesn't know how much to sell, but now that the Internet is so developed, the profit of the physical book publishing industry is not too high, so you can just pay back 2 million, oh yes, it is the net income you can get after tax and after deducting the handling fee, and the publishing house is responsible for those expenses in the middle, so it will be regarded as charity to cheapen them." β
"2 million!??or after tax!?"
Xia Fan felt that it was a little difficult for him to breathe, and his income had increased almost 3 times, so he was still doing charity?
"Meow meow, meow, are you questioning Hongu?"
Master Bao's eyes widened, and he said arrogantly, "This palace tells you that this is the price of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which has just started, if it has more influence after a while, it will definitely be higher, tell them whether they like to buy it or not, and there will be no such store in this village after that." β
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Fan could only pinch his nose and convey the original words to his editor Jiayi.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Jiayi, not only did she not show any displeasure, but showed special support: "It is worthy of being a writer of Xia University, that is, he has courage, I also fought with the people of the copyright department for a long time this afternoon because of this matter, your book is so distinctive, and the influence will definitely only get higher and higher in the future, the price of 1 million is simply a big sale, but I can't resist the pressure of the leader, and I can only be forced to call you to ask for your opinion!"
"Since you have such courage, then I can rest assured, I will now convey your thoughts to the leaders and the people in the copyright department, they can do as they like, then I will not disturb your rest first, I will inform you as soon as there is any new news, bye. β
After speaking, editor Jiayi hung up the phone.
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Fan sat on the chair a little tiredly, as if he had just escaped death from a storm.
Seriously, for an ordinary high school student like him, this is an unimaginable huge storm, but what makes people different from other animals is that people have super learning and adaptability, and although the environment and circumstances change, people's personalities and ways of doing things are constantly changing.
Just like before Lord Bao appeared, his personality was cold to say well, and cowardly to say badly.
But after experiencing the incident between Xiaoqing and Lu Wei, he can clearly feel the changes in himself, so when he realized the hypocrisy of the school flower Yu Yiyan, when she showed favor to him for the second time, he was able to refuse very decisively, he was different from before!
Just like now, although he is a little tired, his mind is thinking more holistically.
"Master Bao, I think I should go and register the copyright of the songs and music you gave me, after all, they don't have a relatively clear contract to prove ownership like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". β
After thinking for a moment, Xia Fan took a deep breath and said to Master Bao, the tone was not like a previous inquiry, but a conveyance of ideas.
"Meow ......"
After hearing this, Master Bao looked at him in surprise, and finally showed a smile and affirmed, "My shovel officer, even Bengong has to be impressed by your recent progress, even Bengong didn't expect this, it seems that my shovel official is not really useless." β
"I'll just praise you for me. β
Xia Fan smiled, immediately turned on the computer, wrote down the lyrics and scores of "You at the Same Table", "Sky City" and even "Slightly Omitted", and then entered the official website of the Copyright Office for detailed notes.
All you have to do is wait for the review and then pay some of the necessary copyright registration fees.
These Qian Xia Fan is not worried, in a few days it will be the time for the Chinese Group to pay the manuscript fee every month, although his book has not yet been put on the shelves, but the reward alone is already very considerable.
β¦β¦
After Lu Wei's matter was dealt with, the system rewarded 100 points again.
This time, under Xia Fan's bitter pleading, Lord Bao finally didn't let his petty temperament squander, but in order to cope with the unexpected needs, he still spent 20 points first and helped him exchange a song as a reserve.
A few days later, on Saturday, the day before Zhou Yongge's tour began, Zhao Hehua finally found Xia Fan and invited him to his home for dinner in the evening.
is about to face the college entrance examination, and the course schedule for the third year of high school is still relatively tight.
Like many high schools, even on Saturdays, Xia Fan and they have to go to class, but they are exempted from evening self-study, and the only ones who can really rest are Sundays.
I informed my parents in advance, and my parents learned that Xia Fan was invited by the school teacher to be a guest, so naturally there were no opinions, and before going out, they went to the nearby supermarket to prepare a fruit basket for him, and told him to pay attention to politeness and leave a good impression on the teacher.
The parents of ordinary people in the world are probably like this.
Zhao Hehua's old house is not far from the school, and it is naturally not far from Xia Fan's house.
It was an old courtyard house with a rather historical atmosphere, and only Zhao Hehua and his nanny lived.
When the nanny led Xia Fan into the hall in the north direction, Zhao Lotus was sitting face-to-face with a tight man wrapped in sunglasses at a tea table, smiling and talking.
Just by looking at the appearance, Xia Fan knew that this man must be Zhou Yongge Zhou Tianwang.
However, out of politeness, he still greeted Zhao Hehua who invited him first: "Teacher Zhao, I don't know what to bring, I'll buy you some fruit." β
"If you come, people will come, and these clichΓ©s will be waived in the future. β
Zhao Hehua got up with a smile and took the fruit basket in person, "Come on, come on, sit down, Yongge, I'll introduce you, this is the person I want to introduce to you today, the music genius I found in our school, Xia Fan." β
