Five hundred yuan? Li Mo almost swallowed and couldn't speak, he said for a long time: "Dad, I don't know." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Mo didn't expect Director Zhang to add the same thing: "Comrade Li Guangping, look at how amazing your son is, while studying, he can earn nearly a thousand yuan, and even earn high school tuition." ”

Li Mo: ......

He couldn't say anything.

Li Guangping sent them to the road with a flashlight, and then the town leaders took them back to the guest house for a night's rest, and tomorrow the commune leaders will send someone to send them to the train from Jiucheng to the magic capital. Then take a plane from the magic capital to Xiangjiang, and transfer from Xiangjiang to the United States. It doesn't have to be so troublesome to go back, just send it to Stone Town, which has a direct flight to the United States, but that's still early

Li Guangping came back barefoot.

He was about to go fishing with a basket, but was stopped by Li Mo and said, "Dad, you don't want to die." ”

What time is this?

"I'm not hard, what do you eat and drink?"

The price of meat in 82 was a few cents more expensive than in 78, because there were more people fishing for soft-shelled turtles, and the price of pork liver rose more expensive, just like in the previous life, and the original five cents a pound has now become two dollars a pound. Three taels of pork liver, six cents, Li Guangping is reluctant to waste it.

The neighbor who asked the east and west also left at this time, and Li Mo said: "Grandma, parents, our family has to have a good meeting." ”

"Xiao Mo, don't make trouble, I have to put the fishing down as soon as possible. Li Guangping said that his son is becoming more and more competitive, fighting for which side of the United States, Li Guangping's temper has also improved, if it was before, he would have been slapped a long time ago.

"Dad, it's not a trivial matter, didn't I say 10,000 yuan, didn't I say I built that house, I can tell you now. ”

"Tell me. Li Guangping shuddered, immediately put down the basket and said.

"When the formal contract is signed, the book will soon be published anywhere in the United States. ”

In fact, George went back with this draft contract, and Bantam Books would send someone to correct it, which was inevitable. Essays can be written with typos, and novels must have words written incorrectly. But this speed will be very fast, maybe the official contract will be signed and sent to the US imperialists, and the correction will be basically completed. Then the typesetting, and at the same time publicity, of course, not as convenient as later publications, but if you pay attention, within three months, the book can be published. If you don't pay attention to it, then wait slowly.

"How much will the book earn?"

"How much will it be? Can it exceed 1,000 yuan?" Li Guangping came in spirit.

Li Mo was silent again for a long time before he said: "Dad, I signed a sharing contract, that is, they must give me a certain percentage of dividends when they sell a book, which side of the United States sells books more expensively, like my book has to sell for several dollars." ”

"How many will there be?" Li Guangping immediately tensed.

He had heard his son say that one dollar was equivalent to seven cents a piece, so how many dollars did it cost to sell for a book, and did a book have to sell for ten yuan? If you think about his son's essay collection, it costs only a dime and two cents a copy, which is a hundred times as much.

Li Guangping's brain is also good, but a large family has a somewhat eccentric personality, emotional intelligence can't keep up, and he can't read.

How not to be nervous?

"It could be hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars, it's just publishing revenue, if it's changed to a movie, a game, or something, the revenue will be even more. ”

The original book has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide, but it cannot be counted as 200 million copies, and some countries only authorize distribution, such as China, just give a few money, let China send people to translate into Chinese and publish it, even if 100 million copies are distributed, do not do the author's business.

Another factor is inflation, that is, rising prices, which side of the US imperialists are also rising.

It is now 82 years, and in 82 years, in 15 years, the prices of US imperialism have risen at least four times.

If you think too much, the question arises again, the overall GDP of the United States in 82 years was 3255 billion US dollars, and in 15 years it was 16,197.96 billion US dollars.

.

If it weren't for the fact that the whole world was paying for the United States, the American economy would collapse if it didn't get it right, and at most it would be the same as the RB, standing still.

Or if someone calculates China's economic growth in this way, it can also be calculated. China's total GDP in '82 was $530 billion, and by 15 years, inflation could reach 20 times. On the surface, it may have been stepped on the same ground. But can it be calculated in this way? How much is a dollar equivalent to RMB in '82? Inflation is calculated by 20 times, and China's GDP has actually increased by three or four times.

Li Mo's algorithm is also very problematic, but China's real GDP growth in the past 30 years or so will certainly be more than three times, but it will not be more than six times. Of course, this is remarkable, China is not a small country, and often a large enterprise pulls up a country's GDP. With such a large country and such a weak foundation, with this economic growth rate, even if you open the entire history books of China, you will not be able to find a similar feat.

If we combine the actual growth rate with the rich list, we can find a truth, the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States is also widening year by year.

In addition, the current renminbi is relatively strong, but the dollar is also strong, a book can't be sold for a few dollars, Bantam Books intends to set its selling price, Li Mo does not know, so he plans to set it at three dollars, and he gets only twenty-seven cents...... And also obediently pay taxes. Therefore, the income after deducting taxes from the book copyright of the original book will definitely exceed 10 million US dollars, but it will not reach 20 million US dollars.

Of course, there are certainly millions of dollars in publishing revenues.

"What did you say?" Li Mo calculated in his heart, but the number he casually said scared Li Guangping.

"Dad, I signed a contract with them, according to this contract, after George goes back, he will have to pay a deposit of 10,000 US dollars first, and exchange it for more than 18,000 yuan, or maybe more. ”

Li Mo is not clear about how much it is, because when foreign exchange enters China, it must be transferred from the Bank of China and then to Caozhen Credit Cooperative, and there will inevitably be some handling fees in the middle, otherwise it will be more than 19,000 yuan. Because the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar has risen again, the exchange rate in August 82 was 1.9432:1, and the exchange rate in September was 1.9567:1, and in January 84, it directly exceeded two to one.

"Isn't it a piece of seven cents?"

"The exchange rate has adjusted again, and the dollar has risen again. ”

"More than 18,000 yuan, can you buy a car without a loan. Li Guangping muttered, it's true, this money plus his family's savings, there is not much money to buy a five-ton truck.

"Dad, hey, aren't you going to fish for soft-shelled turtles?"

"What are you talking about, you're not kidding Lao Tzu. ”

"At most, the money will be in your passbook. ”

If not, it means that there is a change, but does Bantam Books dare to have a change? If it is the second book written in his hand, it is difficult to say, with "Jurassic Park", even if Li Mo makes more excessive requests, they have to obediently agree.

"It's just a deposit, and the manuscript fee will be more, but we won't get it until next year. By next year, maybe I'll be able to get a hundred thousand dollars, or even more, and you think the big house I painted can be built?"

"There are so many?" asked Li Mo's mother.

"It's just the beginning, and if my books are written in the future, the combined income from all aspects may reach tens of millions of dollars. Dad, it's not too early, let's go soft-shelled turtle fishing. ”

"Fishing for a ghost, what you said is true or false," Li Guangping asked with a pounding heart.

"Why am I telling lies, is there a difference between hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars and tens of millions of dollars, for you?"

Yes, yes, but no, anyway, it is a number that Li Guangping and his wife would never dare to think of.

"How can you earn so much. ”

"People have money. ”

Li Guangping sat on the big bench with his buttocks, and he didn't know whether it was hot or frightened, and his head was full of beads of sweat, but he was a little distracted. The son earns casually, that is, hundreds of thousands, millions, so what is the point of him struggling?

This is a serious philosophical question......

Li Mo's mother asked, "Have you been prepared a long time ago?"

"Mom, that's right, before I went to school, I learned to write and write essays at home, and you know it, so I wrote this thing casually. Later, I wrote and wrote, and I had some ideas, but I was still young at that time, and many ideals were not clear, and my knowledge level was not enough. So that year, I begged my grandmother to take me to Hatojo. ”

"Why didn't you say that?"

"Didn't I think about it at the time? Besides, it's still a big question mark that people don't agree to publish, and if I say it, but I can't do it, will you beat me?"

It's all your fault.

Li Mo's father was speechless.

"Then I went to Hatojo, which is a big city, and many people have seen the world, and I asked a little bit about it, and I bought a lot of books and came back, and I tried to write the book in English while learning English. However, after reading these English books, I felt that I had a greater grasp, so I told my father that I could earn 10,000 yuan in the future. But I can't tell when I can write it well and when people agree to publish it. ”

"If you can't get the first place in the exam, you can write novels. Li Guangping asked.

"Where, why did I do well in the English test, I wrote novels, and I didn't delay studying. Even if you ask me to write novels every day to make money, I won't do it, I want to go to college more than you. ”

Li Guangping was speechless again.

Grandma asked happily, "Xiao Mo, do you really have so much money?"

"That's it. ”

"It's still the grandson who is smart. ”

Mother Li glanced at her grandmother and wanted to refute, but at this time, she didn't know how to refute.

"Dad, I still want to say one thing, no matter how much money you earn, you must have a happy family, if you are unhappy, no matter how much money you earn, it will not work, and there will be no shortage of money at home in the future, and you will try to quarrel as little as possible. Second, you must have a clear conscience. My family has a bad temper and a smelly mouth, but they have a good heart, even if they are poor for the sake of the previous years, they have less time to ask for help and more time to help people, including my grandfather. I think it's God's reward. ”

Li Mo's mother was very superstitious, and after hearing this, she said: "Yes, yes, I will go to Taihu Temple to offer incense another day." ”

This temple is located on the edge of Taihu Mountain and was built during the Song Dynasty, but Li Mo was anxious: "If God has a spirit, what they see is not how much incense you put on, but how many good deeds you do." Have you ever had incense in my house before?"

Don't work hard to earn a few dollars by yourself, let a few big monks flicker, and donate to those big monks together.
