Chapter 086: Wave your sleeves
Zhang Tan received Zhang Quanshun at about nine o'clock in the morning.
Then he took Zhang Quanshun and the two people from the publishing house to make a motorcycle tricycle together and went to his rental house next to Shuangdun Middle School.
"What are you doing to pick me up, I'm afraid that if I don't go to class, I will delay my schoolwork." Zhang Quanshun said.
"It's fine." Zhang Tan waved his hand, "Don't delay this day for half a day." β
"Brother Zhang is still worried about Zhang Tan's studies? Zhang Tan's ability to write novels is much better than going to college to find a job. Wang Guohua said with a smile.
Zhang Quanshun said modestly: "Writing must not be stable. β
"Dad, I'm very stable, well, writing novels for me is no different from eating and drinking. Studying is difficult for me, and I don't have this talent in the exam, and it makes no difference if I can't keep up with the average university. Future college students will become less and less valuable. β
"In any case, having a university diploma is a guarantee in society in the future. When I went to college, I took a few more certificates and learned a few more skills, and I didn't have to be overwhelmed. β
Zhang Tan didn't say anything more.
He wanted to talk to his parents that it would be better for him to drop out of school.
But there is no way to make sense in a short period of time, and there is a big collision between his parents' concepts and his concepts. He is a reborn person, and the university is not very attractive to him, just a little regretful that he only went to a junior college in his last life and did not go to university. But my parents are fanatical about college.
It seems that if a child does not go to college, it is a big mistake in life.
This is very much in line with the propaganda and education in rural areas, "no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education", education has always been regarded by everyone as a very important part of life. China's civilization has been inherited for thousands of years, and education is the top priority.
Therefore, Zhang Tan was silent for the time being. However, there was no silence in the carriage, Wang Guohua chatted with Zhang Quanshun very speculatively, and the assistant Wu Hai could occasionally interject a few words.
Before you know it, you will arrive at the rental house.
After unlocking the door and looking at the two rooms with all the appliances, Zhang Quanshun's eyes widened. He always thought that his son's life at school was very happy, but who knew that his son not only did not live in school, but built a golden house outside the school. This little life is more leisurely than at home.
"When you rent a house outside, you don't talk to your family."
"Not long after the start of school, in fact, Dad, you went to the school and saw the student dormitory, so you can understand why I came out to rent a house, twelve people live in one room, and smelly shoes and smelly socks can smoke people to death. At the beginning, the dormitory was still a tiled house, and it leaked when it rained. And there were so many people in the dormitory that it was noisy and not quiet, so I couldn't write. β
Zhang Quanshun was speechless for a while, thinking about it, writing a book is the most important thing, how can people write a book if they are too noisy.
Wang Guohua looked around the room and praised: "Zhang Tan is a person who can live, the room is well organized, radiators, kettles, washing machines, laptops, printers, hey, this is a guitar and accordion?" β
"I signed up for a music class at school to learn some music."
Zhang Quanshun was surprised again: "You still study music?" β
"Well, interest."
Wang Guohua asked curiously: "Have you learned?" β
Zhang Tan picked up the guitar casually and played it a few times, and it was a very familiar melody, Russia's "Katyusha". Then I changed to the accordion to show off, the same "Katyusha", the music played by the accordion is much more melodious than the guitar, and you can hear it when you listen to it, this is the classic "Katyusha".
"Versatile!" Wang Guohua gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Tan smiled: "It's just a wide range of hobbies." β
"It takes a lot of time to learn this music, right?" Zhang Quanshun asked.
"Two nights a week for self-study."
"It's still about learning."
Seeing that Zhang Quanshun did not object very much, Zhang Tan planned to talk to his father about the direction of art students, but now is not the right time, at least sign the contract first.
Afterwards, everyone was in the house, checking the contract.
The Xunnan People's Publishing House publishes many popular novels, so the contract has a template, and if it is slightly modified on the basis of the template, it is a well-organized and detailed contract.
Zhang Quanshun read the contract very carefully, tried to ask each article clearly, and spent more than an hour back and forth to ensure that there were no unreasonable treaties, and then signed the contract as Zhang Tan's guardian. Subsequently, photocopied documents such as household registration book and ID card were sandwiched into the contract.
Wang Guohua carries the official seal of the unit, stamped with the seal, in duplicate, and officially takes effect.
The contract stipulates that the manuscript fee is calculated at the tiered royalty rate, and if the number of copies sold is less than 50,000, 6% of the royalty will be paid to Zhang Tan as the manuscript fee, and if the number of copies sold exceeds 50,000, 10% of the royalty will be paid as the manuscript fee.
At the same time, the minimum printing number is 10,000 copies, and the royalty rate of 6% is used as the remuneration paid in advance, and the manuscript fee is added to the standard amount after printing.
In other words, Zhang Tan's "Four Famous Capture of the Kanto" was handed over to the Xunnan People's Publishing House for publication, and at least 10,000 copies of the royalty income were earned, and the more they sold, the more they get.
This is a bit different from Taiwan Publishing, which generally pays a portion of the expected remuneration in advance.
Putting away the contract, Wang Guohua stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhang Quanshun: "Happy cooperation, when I go back, the publishing house will hold a meeting to decide the price of the novel, and the manuscript fee will be remitted as soon as possible." β
"Okay, nice to work with."
β¦β¦
After signing the contract, it was noon.
Zhang Tan took everyone to the next door, next door, next door, next door, next door,
The boss is very familiar with Zhang Tan and greets him very warmly.
"You come here a lot to eat?" Zhang Quanshun asked inexplicably.
Zhang Tan said: "I ordered a meal here, and I usually eat here at noon and night. β
"Eat ...... in restaurants" Zhang Quanshun was speechless, this quality of life, he and Tan Mingxia were worried that Zhang Tan's nutrition at school would not keep up, and his emotional son ate better than anyone else.
Zhang Tan rubbed his chin: "After all, I'm growing my body now." β
Zhang Quanshun sighed with emotion and did not object: "That's right, when you grow your body, you should eat better." β
"When people make money, aren't they just for food, clothing, shelter and transportation? Lao Zhang, in the words of Zhang Tan and their young people, this is called knowing how to enjoy life. Wang Guohua said with a smile.
"Yes, life is good, there is really no need to wronged yourself anymore, eat well when you should eat well." Zhang Quanshun nodded approvingly, took a sip of wine, and said, "Oh, life is really getting better day by day, when we were children, we went to the river embankment every day to carry soil, tired and half dead, and couldn't eat enough, when we went to bed at night, I thought about how good it would be to eat two big bowls of dried white rice." β
Wang Guohua is about the same age as Zhang Quanshun, and he also has a lot of emotions back then: "Isn't it, it used to be really bitter, and I couldn't even see a flower seed in the bowl." It's just that I usually dig up some more wild vegetable leaves, and I have to let the two pigs raised at home eat first...... Not to mention, I was really envious of the big fat pig at that time, who could eat, drink and sleep. β
"Two pigs? Director Wang's family was okay at that time. Zhang Tan said.
"Which is my family, it is a pig raised by the production team, and when the pig is killed during the New Year, it can only be divided into some slot meat (pork neck meat), marinated into bacon, or poured into a few sausages. Pig's head and pig's trotters have all been purchased by the town's meat factory, and they can't be eaten easily. β
The meal ended in bittersweet memories.
Life may have troubles of one kind or another, but the country is progressing, and everyone's living standards are improving, which is very obvious. After eating, Wang Guohua and Wu Hai left in a hurry, and they had to catch the train in the afternoon. Come fast, go fast, wave your sleeves, and take away a contract.
Zhang Tan's heart also fell to the ground.
Finally published in Simplified Chinese!
