Chapter 18 Money is the closest thing
Xiao Cheng was on his way home, calculating how much money he had as he walked.
"Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" has not yet earned a dime, and there is a lot of money from rewarding, plus monthly salaries, rewards, etc., there should be more than 200,000 next month. The manuscript fee for "The Legend of Wukong" was given to my mother, and the royalties were not so fast. The total number of downloads of the two songs is nearly 5 million, and more than 2.2 million can be obtained after tax. There is 1 million cash on the bank card, which is the manuscript fee for selling "I Do".
Now that it is almost the end of the month, more than 2.4 million will come in the account next month, and there will be a total of about 3.5 million in cash.
Although Xiao Cheng is not short of money now, if he wants to do something, this money is far from enough. Buying a house and making a down payment is almost inseparable, and don't have any ideas about villas or the like.
Back at home, Xiao Cheng felt that he was too poor, and sat cross-legged on the sofa with his laptop to see what money-making projects there were.
A text message prompt sounded, Xiao Cheng stared at the notebook, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, but found that there was no text message prompt. The bell rang again, Xiao Cheng looked for the source of the sound, but found that it was from the direction of the dining table.
When I walked to the dining table, I realized that it was Lan Duoer's mobile phone. It should have been forgotten to take it after breakfast, really, why is a woman so careless. Let's send it to her!
Xiao Cheng picked up his phone and glanced at it casually, but found that the text message was sent by Lan Duoer's father, Lan Wenshan, with a few words on it: Pay attention to Xiao Cheng.
What to pay attention to yourself? What do you need to pay attention to? A sense of absurdity rose in his heart, and Xiao Cheng held his mobile phone and froze in place.
The content on your phone can be seen with just one tap. But Xiao Cheng didn't want to see it, or he was afraid to see it. To see, or not to look, Xiao Cheng struggled inwardly.
Xiao Cheng had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he told himself that society is realistic, did he only understand it today? Think about the female netizens who have dated before, people in their thirties, don't be too naΓ―ve, be realistic! Whether it's talent or wealth, at least you still have things that others like, and you don't know how many times stronger than in your previous life.
The more he tried to convince himself, the more Xiao Cheng felt pain, not in his body, but in his heart. The heart-rending pain, the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, like someone holding a dagger and constantly poking and poking in his heart. Then Xiao Cheng laughed, he laughed, laughed maniacally, laughed so much that he rolled on the ground.
"Hahahaha," Xiao Cheng laughed maniacally as he opened the text message with tears in his eyes.
"Pay attention to Xiao Cheng's recent movements, Zhongtian has begun to mobilize funds and prepare to poach Xiao Cheng. The good daughter did well last night and continued to maintain her relationship with Xiao Cheng. β
After reading the text message, Xiao Cheng casually threw away his mobile phone and walked to the bathroom in a trance. He turned on the shower's head, and the cool water kept washing the tears from his face before flowing down the drain and disappearing.
After a long time, Xiao Cheng came to his senses and looked at the person in the mirror, it turned out that his wet self was so ridiculous. Turning off the shower, Xiao Cheng took off the clothes on his body, walked out of the bathroom naked, and found a set of clothes to put on.
After standing there for a moment, Xiao Cheng felt that he should do something, otherwise, this silent loneliness would drive him crazy. He went to the bathroom to find the keys, wallet, and mobile phone in his pocket, and the phone got into the water, so it should be broken, right? Then go buy a new one, anyway, this broken phone should have been replaced a long time ago.
After going downstairs, Xiao Cheng took a taxi and went straight to the most luxurious Century Commercial City in Yangcheng. Under the strong recommendation of the salesperson, he bought the most expensive new mobile phone, Xiao Cheng doesn't care, it's just a mobile phone of 10,000 yuan.
Swiping the card to pay the bill happily, looking at the envious eyes of the salesman, Xiao Cheng felt a trace of pleasure in his heart, it turned out that it was really cool to be a rich man.
Then, Xiao Cheng was frantically swiping his card in the commercial city. Watches, buy, hundreds of thousands are still available. Clothes, buy, the most expensive is only tens of thousands of yuan a set, we can afford it.
Early in the morning, there were not many people in the commercial city. The sudden emergence of such a local tyrant who takes money and does not pay money has naturally attracted the attention of people with intentions. It's just that when Xiao Cheng walked away hungry with a dozen shopping bags in his hand, he realized how many things he had bought.
Feeling that he was in a good mood and crying with his wallet, Xiao Cheng wondered, would they let him return it? The corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, but Xiao Cheng still walked out of the commercial city.
Fortunately, this guy hasn't gone completely crazy, otherwise, if he bought seven or eight hundred thousand things early in the morning, and then ran to return them, I'm afraid the mall manager would have to fight him alone.
Walking on the sunny and busy commercial street, looking at the surging flow of people around him, Xiao Cheng felt very lonely and ridiculous.
Carrying more than a dozen bags of things, Xiao Cheng was a little tired, his legs were sore, and his heart was also sore. But he didn't want to go home, he hated that place in his heart, he wanted to find a hotel to open a room, and suddenly it occurred to him that he was only sixteen years old now and had no ID card.
Your sister is sixteen years old!
Xiao Cheng took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and Li Jifeng's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hey, Mr. Xiao, what's the matter?" β
Xiao Cheng didn't want to talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Did you bring your ID card?" β
How many people go out without ID cards these years? Li Jifeng didn't understand what was going on, so he said honestly: "I have it with me." β
"You come to the lobby of the Century Hotel, I'll wait for you here." Xiao Cheng didn't give Li Jifeng any explanation, and hung up the phone casually.
Li Jifeng answered the phone and took a taxi to the Century Hotel, Xiao Cheng threw the bank card to him and asked him to open a single room, and it was open for a month. Li Jifeng glanced at Xiao Cheng in surprise, he felt that something was wrong with Xiao Cheng, but he was not very familiar with Xiao Cheng, and it was difficult to say anything.
After opening the room, Li Jifeng followed Xiao Cheng to the room, Xiao Cheng opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of drinks and threw one bottle to Li Jifeng.
The room was very quiet, only the sound of two people gurgling and drinking, Xiao Cheng was afraid of being quiet now, he had nothing to say: "Have you found the house?" β
Li Jifeng said: "Not yet, we are not from Yangcheng, how easy is it to find a suitable house within three days?" β
Xiao Cheng frowned and said, "Hmm! That's right, I'm afraid that Cai Minglun just hit this idea, so we don't have time to prepare. β
Li Jifeng said with a cold face: "That scumbag." β
If I go, I will scold. Scolding and scolding the immortal, it is useful.
Xiao Cheng thought for a while and said, "You call Mr. Ji and ask her to come over, and Director Hua and Assistant Bai also call over." β
Li Jifeng did so, and the two of them chatted endlessly while waiting for Ji Xingyue and them. An hour later, Ji Xingyue and the others came. Also coming with Ji Mingyue and Ji Qingyue, the second of the three sisters.
Everyone came, Xiao Cheng and Ji Qingyue got to know each other, repeated what he had just talked to Li Jifeng, and said calmly: "The current situation is a bit troublesome, even if we find a house, it will take time to decorate, and it is difficult to guarantee that Cai Minglun will not come to make trouble again." β
Ji Xingyue stood up angrily, Xiao Cheng glared at her, and when she saw her sitting down honestly, she continued: "Actually, we have drilled the horns, why do we have to have our own recording studio to record?" We can pay someone to record it for us, no matter how good he Cai Minglun is, can he force all the recording studios all over the world to move. β
Oh, yes! There are more recording studios across the country, and no matter how rich Cai Minglun is, it is impossible to force all the recording studios to listen to him.
Xiao Cheng sneered and said, "So, there is no need to rush to find a house, first find a warehouse and move all the equipment out." Then find a good recording studio, get the sample film ready, and then I'll give you the score to arrange. Li Jifeng and Ji Mingyue, you can prepare for the competition with peace of mind. β
After listening to Xiao Cheng's words, everyone was overjoyed, and the matter finally found a way to solve it, and a big stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground, and they all regained their usual mood, only Ji Xingyue cried with a face.
Your sister, what's the matter? Xiao Cheng was very painful.
Ji Xingyue blushed and said, "This, we don't have much money." β
"How much does the recording need, and how much does the company have?"
"The recording plus the arrangement system ZuΓ² costs about 500,000 yuan, and the company only has 120,000 yuan on the account."
This wretched mother-in-law, just such a small amount of money is not enough to rent a warehouse, a loser! Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at Ji Xingyue, this girl estimated that except for rolling the sheets, the others were of little use.
Xiao Cheng said fiercely: "I'll take 1 million out, but I want 51% of the company's shares." β
"Ahh How can you do this, take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well. Ji Xingyue shouted.
"Take advantage of your sister, fall on your sister, the company will continue to stay in your hands, I'm afraid that one day when I wake up, you will be defeated. Lao Tzu took out so many songs, not to play with you, whether you love to give it or not, how can Lao Tzu have so much trouble selling it to others. β
Not only Ji Xingyue, but also Ji Mingyue and Ji Qingyue disagreed, Hua Ailin, Bai Mulan, and Li Jifeng did not dare to interject.
Ji Mingyue puffed out her cheeks and scolded: "Xiao Cheng, you big bastard, you still take the opportunity to scold us, what do you mean by taking advantage of your sister and falling behind your sister?" β
Yikes! Scolding your sister in front of other people's sisters, is it really a bit of that? However, Xiao Cheng has a killer feature: "Then I'll help you repay the bank loan next month, it's always okay!" If you don't agree again, Lao Tzu will return it. β
