Chapter 375, Signing
Li Xiang naturally couldn't think of this.
Jin Zhu knew that Yuan Yuan was divorcing Li Fangfang, and she felt that Yuan Yuan might not really give up this marriage that had been painstakingly managed for more than 20 years for a Li Xiang, because in this high position, marriage must not be used to be willful.
But if she doesn't really want to divorce, then the reason why she does this must be to blackmail the Li party and achieve some goals, as for which these are, Jin Zhu feels that it is nothing more than the reputation of the Li family, the connections of the Li family, and the property of the Li family.
Reputation must be a concern, as the wife of a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level, if the rumors of her husband's illegitimate children are confirmed, it is not only a question of whether her husband's position can be kept, but also the brunt of her being a wife who is disgraced, and then it will even affect the marriage of her children.
Connections must also be scrupulous, in Yuan Yuan's eyes, you may feel that Li Ruizhong made Li Xiang popular, after all, Li Xiang is a signed actor under Li Ruizhong's name, and the old man spares no effort to promote Li Xiang, if Li Fang makes another effort to push Li Xiang to the officialdom, Li Xiang, who has fame and money, will become an official, get twice the result with half the effort, and he will be able to get up in a few years, maybe he will go farther than Li Ruizhao, can Yuan Yuan be willing?
As for money, it's not impossible, other Jin Zhu is not clear, but Jin Zhu knows one thing, the old man is so old, and he is a master of calligraphy, painting, and carving, and there must be a lot of collections in his hands, it is difficult to say that Yuan Yuan will have no ideas.
"What, you mean to say that these two seals are worth five or six million?" Li Xiang felt that the seal in his hand was a little hot.
If he knew it was so expensive, he wouldn't want anything.
"And that's just a conservative number."
Because Jin Zhu is an ancient person and learns history, he is more sensitive to the value of these antique cultural relics and jade calligraphy and paintings. I'm also more interested, and I often pay attention to the news of the auction, and occasionally watch some treasure appreciation programs.
"Zhuzhu, I don't want this thing anymore." Li Xiang didn't want to leave this thing anymore, he didn't want to owe the Li family a favor, and accepting this gift would definitely give the Li family an illusion. Thought he had forgiven them.
"Good. Don't want it, don't pay it back when you see your master later, don't say it in advance. ”
Jin Zhu is accustomed to the calculations and battles of those great families. So she knew how to do it, and she guessed that if the news of these two seals got out, she was afraid that it would be difficult for the two of them to have a peaceful life.
Knowing that there was a divorce going on over there, I guessed it was because of him without asking Li Xiang. At this time, he was also reluctant to go to many things.
Two days later, Jin Zhu received a call from the publishing house. They arranged two mornings on Saturday and Sunday for Jin Zhu to sign books on the first floor of the Chang'an Book Building.
Li Xiang was supposed to report to the crew on Saturday, because of this incident, he asked Director Zhang for two days off, and he wanted to accompany Jin Zhu to sign and sell books.
Anyway, this is also the first time Jin Zhu has signed and sold books, and Li Xiang is afraid that Jin Zhu will not be able to come to the stage because it will be cold. With him, fans will give some face, and if it doesn't work, they will bundle it. Sign him and Jin Zhu's name together.
So, early Saturday morning. Yang Jing, Pan Xiaowei, Xiyue, Tian Fangzhou, Gu Panpan, Shi Liang and others all came over, they all saw the news that Jin Zhu was going to sign and sell books on the Internet, and gathered at Jin Zhu's house, saying that they were going to be a cheerleader for Jin Zhu.
Knowing that Li Xiang also went to the scene with him and planned to accompany Jin Zhu to sign the autograph, Pan Xiaowei said with a smile: "This is a good idea, if you want me to say, it is better for the two leading actors Pan Pan and Li Xiang to brush their faces together, plus Jin Liu, so that this book can sell at least 10,000 more copies." ”
"That's it, eldest sister, brother-in-law, Sister Panpan, you will make a number when you sign in a while, and the first signature must be kept for me, and I will take it to auction to see how much it can be sold." Jin Yang followed suit.
"It's a better idea, that's it." Tian Fangzhou put his hand on Jin Yang's shoulder, and Jin Yang gave him a roll of the eyes, shook him off and walked to Jin Niu's side.
"Let's go, let's go, my eldest sister is going to sell books." Taurus was afraid that Tian Fangzhou would be made fun of, and Zhang Luo wanted to leave.
"It's called signing books, not selling books." Jin Yang patted the golden bull on the head.
"Eldest sister, you tap it, make me stupid, this time I can't pass the fourth stage of Go, it's your responsibility."
Taurus is going to participate in the Go Tournament in the Imperial City this summer, and if he can get into the top 15, then he will be qualified to become a professional chess player, so he is under a lot of pressure.
"What do you know, stupid, I'm here to clear the customs for you, if I hadn't always helped you get through the second vein of Rendu, do you think you can be so smart now? I also play Go, and it's good to be able to do a good job. Jin Yang pursed his lips.
"What is the second pulse of Ren Du, please, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, what about you when you are Zhang Sanfeng?" The golden bull touched his head and rolled his eyes.
"Fart, who doesn't understand, who said that only Zhang Sanfeng will be appointed as the second vein? There are more martial arts masters in the world......"
Jin Yang saw that Jin Niu was not convinced, so he pulled Jin Niu to rub his head while arguing and arguing, and the sister and brother hid one by one and chased after him.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's go, go early, and make some noise." After Li Xiang finished speaking, he picked up the backpack on the cabinet for Jin Zhu, checked the contents and then handed it to Jin Zhu.
"Ah Xiang, a girl's bag can't be flipped around." After Gu Panpan finished speaking, he winked at Jinzhu.
"What's this, Ah Xiang even bought bread for Jin Zhu, a standard twenty-four filial boyfriend." Pan Xiaowei has long been surprised.
"What nonsense?" Jin Zhu glared at Pan Xiaowei.
In front of so many people, she really didn't want to admit it, but before she finished her words, Xiyue interjected in a daze, "What's this?" Didn't I buy you bread too? ”
Pan Xiaowei originally wanted to make fun of Jin Zhu, but how did he know that Xiyue would intervene in a row without knowing it? But what Xiyue said is also true, he did buy sanitary napkins for her, annoyed and annoyed, and couldn't argue, but made Pan Xiaowei himself blush.
"Oh, another twenty-four filial boyfriend was born." Jin Yang clapped his hands and smiled.
"Jin Yang, you don't have to envy them, I'll buy you bread if you want to eat it in the future. What do you like to eat? Tian Fangzhou smiled at Jin Yang flatteringly.
"What a pair of stupid people, this bread is not the other bread, what are you two big boys robbing?" Gu Panpan laughed.
But after laughing, there was also a little bitterness, when will she meet the boy who bought bread for her?
"Alright, Zhuzhu, let's go." Li Xiang was afraid that Jin Zhu would be embarrassed, so he pushed Jin Zhu out first.
Went downstairs. It happened that Li Xiang, Liu Sheng, and Yang Jing drove three cars and pulled everyone to the door of Chang'an Book Building. As the name suggests, the Chang'an Book Building is located on the bustling Chang'an Avenue, and the bookstore was already open when Jinzhu arrived. There was a banner hanging at the door that read, "Welcome young beautiful writer Yang Jinzhu (pen name Zhuzhu) to sign and sell books at our store", and there was a notice board with an enlarged version of the cover printed on it. There is the title of the book on the cover, and there is a synopsis next to it.
In addition to the two staff members who maintained order, there were also about thirty or forty people waiting in line with books. Ages range from twenty to thirty.
Jin Zhu was just about to step forward to say hello to everyone, but who knew that these people looked at Li Xiang,
Soon they ran over and surrounded them, asking for autographs, group photos, and interviews. For a while, Li Xiang and Jin Zhu couldn't cope with it.
"Don't worry, everybody, keep lining up. Big star Li Xiang said that all book lovers and friends who buy Yang Jinzhu today have the opportunity to get the joint signature of him and Yang Jinzhu. It's still a fit. Xiyue was on the side to help maintain order.
"Fit? So the two of them are a couple? Li Xiang's wife is Yang Jinzhu? "Someone reacted.
"Bingo, congratulations on your right answer, otherwise do you think the big star Li Xiang is so easy to invite?" Pan Xiaowei snapped her fingers in a dashing manner.
"No wonder last time in the magic capital, he said that he signed a contract with his girlfriend, it turned out that his girlfriend was Yang Jinzhu?" Book Addict shouted.
"What is this, I already knew, I ran into them last time I got a marriage certificate at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau." Book Fan B said with a smile.
"What do you know, this is called a husband and wife file, bundled sales, if there is no gimmick of Li Xiang's big star, how many people will come to buy Yang Jinzhu's book?"
"Cut, what do you know, what kind of bundle sales, Yang Jinzhu's book is really well written, can it be made into a TV series? Do you want to win a prize? If there was no "Filial Piety" written by Yang Jinzhu, where would Li Xiang go to win the award? ”
Voices like this came into the ears of Li Xiang and Jin Zhu, and the two of them didn't defend themselves, just clasped their hands and intertwined their fingers and smiled at these book lovers.
After a while, Liang Dong, the editor-in-charge of Jin Zhu, accompanied the two editors of the publishing house, and the person in charge of the book building, everyone introduced each other to each other, and after a brief greeting, Jin Zhu followed everyone into the hall on the first floor.
The hall has been cleaned up, and when you enter the door, you can see the same advertising sign as the door, and there is a long table in front of the billboard, which is prepared for Jinzhu, and there is nothing else, the conditions are a bit simple, after all, Jinzhu is not a big-name writer, and Chang'an Book Building is one of the largest bookstores in the imperial capital, and it is very good to let Yang Jinzhu, a new writer, come in to sign and sell books, not to mention, people also helped to put up a banner outside.
Jin Zhu didn't pick this, in fact, she was indeed a rookie writer, and she didn't have the right to be picky, so she greeted everyone, and after a few simple opening remarks, Jin Zhu and Li Xiang sat down at the long table and started working.
Coincidentally, the first book fan was the planner of the advertising agency that Jin Zhu and Li Xiang met at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau last time, and he came with a cloth bag, which contained three sets of books, two of which were said to have been bought for the boss and the director.
Li Xiang and Jin Zhu thanked each other, and then seriously signed their names on the title page of each book.
After starting work, Jin Zhu and Li Xiang didn't have time to chat, because there were still book lovers waiting in line.
Originally, everyone thought that today's scene would not be too hot, because when they arrived, there were only thirty or forty book lovers queuing, but who knew that after a while, many people came one after another, and after coming in, they went upstairs directly to buy books and hold them down to line up.
Due to the fact that there were fewer people going out and more people coming in, an hour later, the entire hall on the first floor was crowded with people, and most of these people were Chong Li wanted to come.
Because the news that Li Xiang accompanied his wife to sign and sell books in Chang'an Book Building has been posted through the guò network, many fans in the vicinity rushed over, and many of them bought books in the bookstore themselves, I heard that buying a set of Yang Jinzhu's books can get the combined signatures of the big stars Li Xiang and Yang Jinzhu, and by the way, I hugged a set of books and went downstairs.
Of course, there are also many Internet fans who really love the original book, and these people will ask Jin Zhu when the book will be completed, whether it will also be a physical book, whether it will also be made into a TV series, etc., Jin Zhu simply replied a few words.
One morning, the two kept signing with their heads down, because there was no air conditioning in the room, there were many people, and the air was not circulating, the two of them were already sweating, but the number of people in the hall had only increased a lot, and when the time came, Jin Zhu could not leave everyone behind.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the person in charge of the bookstore squeezed over to discuss with Jin Zhu, saying that the book fans were too enthusiastic and asked for an extension of two hours, and Jin Zhu agreed.
Two hours later, the hall was still full.
Another hour or two passed, and there were still not many people to see.
Li Xiang discussed with Jin Zhu and asked Jin Yang and Jin Liu to send a hundred numbers, and the two decided to sign another hundred copies, and those who didn't get the numbers could only come tomorrow.
Tossing until more than five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them signed the hundred numbers, at that time both of them were hungry, when they came out of the bookstore, Liang Dong and the two editors of the publishing house were waiting for Jin Zhu and Li Xiang at the door with a smile on their faces, saying that they were going to invite the two of them to dinner, which was a celebration of the success of the debut.
Only then did Jin Zhu know that this time the Sanlian Publishing House published a total of 100,000 copies, and the imperial capital transferred a total of 20,000 copies, of which Chang'an Book Building ordered 10,000 copies because of the signing activity, and no one expected that more than 8,000 copies would be sold on the first day, so they will have to transfer books from other bookstores for tomorrow's signing event.
According to the feedback from the magic capital, more than 10,000 copies were sold today, and in addition, the sales in several major cities such as Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Nanjing are also very gratifying.
This means that it will not take long for the royalties of the first edition of 100,000 copies to reach the account of Jinzhu.
Jin Zhu silently calculated, she should be able to get 1.32 million yuan in royalties for the first edition of this set of books, although this money is of little significance to Li Xiang's debt, but she can use this money to start the civil works of her hometown inn, Liu Sheng said that it is a pity that this piece of land is idle.
