Send money? Ren He can't be crazy, right? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a result, the voice was a little loud just now, and the few students in front of me who were packing up their things also heard it, and everyone looked at each other and smiled and whispered: "I don't even have the money to go out to play here." ”

The crowd after school walked out bustlingly, and at this time there was a more conspicuous old man wearing a simple cotton shirt but with outstanding temperament and good spirits, and he didn't know who was waiting at the school gate.

"Why do I look so familiar?"

"I can't remember, it seems to be a little familiar. ”

For junior high school students, they may generally have seen Zhou Lao on a certain news, but it may be a little difficult for them to remember that such a distant figure is not a star or something.

Ren He had done his homework after receiving a call from Zhou Lao, so as soon as he saw the real person, he greeted him: "Hello Zhou Lao, I am Ren He." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Lao looked at Ren He with a smile: "The young man is very energetic, exercise regularly, let's go, let's talk while walking." ”

Only Zhou Lao came alone, there was no luxury car and no driver, but such a detail made Ren He feel good, and the other party walked with him and suddenly changed from an old man who was arrogant to an old man who came to pick up his grandson from school.

Simple and down-to-earth, this is Ren He's first impression of Zhou Lao. It's not like those imaginary heroes, who are all hugging each other when traveling, and they don't even have a special car. Maybe I got off the train and took the bus.

After receiving a call from Mr. Zhou, Ren He carefully collected the news of this old gentleman: he is notoriously simple, it seems that most of his social activities are to praise classic literary works, and when he finds good works, he simply spares no effort to praise them.

Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou's protégés are all over the country, and even many politicians and businessmen hope to become his students.

However, he never accepted students, but the writers he brought out or the people who admired him willingly called him Teacher Zhou.

"Why do you want to write the Three Character Classic? Is it really written by you?" Zhou Lao asked with a smile, in fact, after a week, it was still difficult for him to calm his mood: the classic thing like the Three Character Scripture was written by a 14-year-old child, and everyone was dozens of years old, and they simply lived to the belly of a dog.

"Can this question not be answered?" Ren He smiled bitterly: "I'm sure you must be surprised, but what I can guarantee is that if there is a copyright dispute, all the consequences will be borne by me alone, and Zhou Lao does not need to worry about this." ”

To be honest, although he copied the classics, Ren He just wanted to make money and didn't think about anything else, he didn't need to be famous, and he didn't need others to recognize his literary level, he just wanted to make money, it's as simple as that.

In the final analysis, Ren He is just a rough layman, you really want to say that he has so many resources to use but don't use it once again, that is not in line with the character of a layman. Is there psychological pressure? Yes, but that's about it.

Ren He actually thought about it carefully, in fact, if most people experienced the same thing as him, he didn't believe that he would put the classics away.

Everyone is a layman, and there is nothing to be noble. It's just that it's another thing to bite the nail on the side and be self-absorbed and self-intoxicated.

Zhou Lao shrugged after thinking about it: "Since you don't want to talk about this, forget it, the main purpose of this time is to talk to you about copyright issues, and then set the matter of royalties." ”

"I thought about this, 6% is good, but it is 6% of the price, not the wholesale price," Ren He said firmly.

The so-called royalty is a method of payment of manuscript tax that has been used all over the world for hundreds of years, that is, the royalty that Ren He can get = book pricing X circulation X 6%.

In fact, the most common royalty is 8%, but that is calculated on the basis of the wholesale price of 65%, so 6% is higher than Ren He.

Zhou Lao stopped and looked at Ren He deeply, this 6% can't say who suffers, can only say that everyone still has money to make, he suddenly smiled: "Okay, just do it according to this, this is the first time I have negotiated with a 14-year-old boy, I don't know where to start, if the talk is too strong, people will say that I am a lot old and bully you." ”

"Elder Zhou will definitely not bully me," Ren Hele said hehehe.

"Let's go, find a place for you to invite me to dinner, and sign the contract by the way, I brought the contract. ”

"There is a noodle restaurant in front of you that eats well, and there are ...... The manuscript fee for the third page of the Kyoto Daily ......" Ren He rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

Old Zhou's eyes suddenly widened: "You just invite me to eat noodles?"

"That's it, I have to take the manuscript fee you gave me," Ren He flipped through his pocket and showed that there was only 5 cents in it: "If I say that I wrote the three-character scripture for money, do you believe it?"

Zhou Lao laughed heartily: "Eat noodles, eat noodles! When I was in Kyoto, I always wanted to eat a bowl of fried noodles but I was always free, and today is a blessing to you!" As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms and slapped it on Ren He's hand: "A-level poetry manuscript fee, give you 48 yuan per line." ”

The cost of poetry manuscripts has always been calculated according to the number of lines, but most of the so-called literati poems seen are only 100 yuan, and there are even works of 1 yuan per line, so Ren He will be a little uncertain about the manuscript fee of the Three Character Classic, because he doesn't know how much the other party can give.

Ren He directly began to count money in front of Zhou Lao, a total of more than 8,000!

"It's 48 yuan a line, I knew how many more lines I would ......," Ren He muttered in a low voice.

"I kind of believe it now. ”

Ren He was stunned for a moment: "What do you believe?"

Zhou Lao said with a complicated face: "I believe you wrote the three-character scripture for money, and it is the first time that someone has counted the manuscript fee in front of me, those literati are afraid that this action will stain their works with the smell of copper, and they hope that in the eyes of others, they will always be high up and not eat the fireworks of the world." ”

Ren He laughed: "Don't mind, I'm just a vulgar person, where can I have so much hypocrisy, but have you heard a word? ”

"Vulgarity is elegance......" Zhou Lao pondered the taste of these words: "Hahaha, what a vulgar is elegant!" To be honest, it was the first time he had heard this sentence, and it was not surprising, because even this sentence was brought by Ren He from the parallel world.

In this way, Zhou Wumeng brought Lu Chen more than 8,000 manuscript fees and royalties that can be used in the future, and as a result, Ren He invited Zhou Wumeng to a roadside restaurant egg noodles.

Zhou Wumeng seemed to be happier.

Before leaving, Zhou Wumeng asked: "In the future, there will be works like the Three Character Classic, and we can continue to cooperate." In the history of literature, there have been too many things like burning books and pit Confucianism and reviving literary prisons, which has led to the fact that our literature has not made much progress since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and too many historical masterpieces have been lost in the long river of history. ”

Ren He touched his chin and thought that the cultural trajectory of this parallel world may have really been led astray by some acts of destroying knowledge in history, and it is estimated that there are also brilliant masterpieces like in his previous life in history, but they have all been erased. However, copying the classics by himself is copying his life, and he doesn't plan to play with his life frequently in a short period of time, he replied: "Not for the time being, this is in exchange for life." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Wumeng was puzzled, what did he get his life for?

"It's okay, I mean just writing this, I'm going to die," Ren He couldn't tell others that he had already provoked the heavenly punishment system......

When sending Zhou Lao away, Ren He didn't notice that he was behind them at all, and Duan Xiaolou had already taken this scene in his eyes.

There was a look of doubt in her eyes, and she always felt that this old man seemed to be where she had seen it, and it seemed to be the news a few days ago.

Duan Xiaolou went into his room and turned on the computer to search for the news in her impression when she got home, ignoring her parents' greetings, and she finally found it until half an hour: "Kyoto Daily" Zhou Wumeng Editor-in-Chief Interview: The Three Character Classic is a milestone in the history of Mengtong's education.
