I have to say that Ming Pao's actions are quite fast, even in a place like Hong Kong, which pays attention to efficiency, Ming Pao's work efficiency is still enviable. The agreement was reached on the 14th, the formal contract was signed on the 15th, and the Ming Pao published the publication announcement of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" on the 18th.

The number of copies printed in the first book reached 200,000. Don't look at 200,000 copies don't seem to be a lot, but for Ming Pao, it is already a large number, before Li Mingbao, Ming Pao has never had the experience of printing so many newcomers' books, not to mention that this is still a historical book, not a martial arts novel, and the audience area is not very wide.

Even with so many copies printed, 200,000 copies sold out in so many regions, which is really a remarkable achievement. Of course, the fact that there is such a good sales is also due to the previous boom of this book, plus many Chinese-speaking regions, except for the big 6, are selling this book, so it seems to be extremely popular.

The book became popular, and Ming Pao's action was not slow, and it continued to print another 300,000 copies before it could be regarded as filling the market. Later, he listened to Li Mingbao's advice and translated the book into Japanese, which became popular in Japan. Although modern Japan is disdainful of the history of China, but for the history of ancient times, the interest is quite high, especially the history of the Three Kingdoms, they are very interested, although "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is written about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but there is still a very good market in Japan.

This book made Ming Pao make a lot of money, and Li Mingbao, the author, of course, did not eat less meat, and collected more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars for the copyright alone, and it was received before the Spring Festival. Ming Bao did this, Li Mingbao really wanted to give it thirty-two likes.

And Li Mingbao also knows that the more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars is just the beginning, there are seven books in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and only one is printed now, and some money has not been confiscated, and each of the next six books can basically bring him an income of one million Hong Kong dollars, and seven books can have seven million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, this money will definitely have to wait a year or two to fully recover, and the reprint also needs money, and in the end, this book may be able to bring him tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, but it will take a long time.

With this money, Li Mingbao has no worries about the start-up capital for the next movie, don't look at it is less than one million Hong Kong dollars, and it doesn't seem to be much to invest in movies. But Li Mingbao's first movie, he didn't think about filming big scenes at all, it was purely looking for death, he wanted to shoot Transformers, but not to mention that the money was not enough, even the technology was not good, making special effects blockbusters, and so on.

So what he wants to make is a small-budget movie, the more than 800,000 yuan, plus some of Li Mingbao's other income, can reach 900,000 yuan, which is actually enough. After the first movie is made, Li Mingbao will basically never be short of money anymore.

The Spring Festival, as a traditional festival of the Chinese, is extremely important at home and abroad, so in the days when the Spring Festival is approaching, Li Mingbao cannot stay at home to write manuscripts, but helps to do housework.

Fortunately, although the Li family does not have much money now, the manpower is absolutely effective, and the brothers have finished the work in the family without the help of their father and mother. If you want to celebrate the festival, you have to put down your work or something, so when you were a child, Li Ji's barbecue stall had stopped, and those uncles went home to have a lively New Year after receiving a big red envelope in their father's hand.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Li family closed the door outside the Li Ji Tea Restaurant and ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner inside the tea restaurant. Due to the Li family's fortune this year, the profit of the barbecue stall satisfied everyone, even Li Guangxin, a father, showed a confident smile, and he could vaguely see the glory of his youth.

As for the others, not to mention, because Li Mingbao and their children have grown up, they naturally can't mess around like children, but there are three little guys in the family who are younger than Li Mingbao, one is Li Mingbao's eldest brother's daughter Li Sixiang, who is ten years old this year, and the other two are Li Mingbao's younger brother and sister, Li Minghua and Li Mingyue, one is fifteen years old, and the other is eleven years old.

Before eating the main meal, the three little guys got the cream cakes ready to celebrate everywhere, and they couldn't eat it, and in the end they made a lot of trouble, all of which were suppressed by Aunt Yang Qing and cleaned up obediently.

When the main meal begins, it is Li Guangxin's preface as usual. As the head of the family, Li Guangxin said with a smile: "This year, our Li family has turned over, and the people who used to follow us to Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year are all good men!" I feel uneasy, our Li family owes them. But this year, everyone is doing well, although there are still some problems, but the problems are no longer strict, and I believe that everyone will have a better life in the coming year.

This first glass of wine, toast them! After speaking, Li Guangxin dried the wine in his hand in one sip.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Li Guangxin said again: "In our family, there are also happy events, that is, our little five have grown up and don't mess around." In the past, this kid was the most troublesome in our family, and now he can actually write two-handed articles, although he is talking nonsense, but he is also much better than before, and he can learn well, that is good, this second glass of wine, it should be regarded as a celebration of the rebirth of Xiao Wu. ”

Hearing his father's comments like this, Li Mingbao couldn't cry or laugh, but it was also something listed in Ming Pao, and now it is also selling well, and now his father is still an old concept, which really makes Li Mingbao unbearable. There's no way, Wen Qing, it's a disease that needs to be treated, but this disease has fallen on his father, and Li Mingbao doesn't have the guts to treat it, so he has to get by.

As Li Guangxin finished his opening remarks, the table instantly became lively. In the past, although the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was grand, it was actually not very rich, after all, although there was a tea restaurant in the house at that time, but the days were not very rich, where can it be like this year? Although because of the problem of family education, the dining table will not become a model of tyranny, but the style of the dishes will definitely be several grades higher than before. Originally, there was a restaurant in the house, and it was absolutely impossible to say that there was no two-handed skill, but now these things are served on the table, which is really greedy.

After eating and drinking enough, a new job in the family this year was put in front of everyone, that is, taking stock of the harvest. If it was before, there was absolutely no market for this work at home, after all, the warehouses in the house had to run rats that year, and it didn't make much sense to take stock or not, and everyone roughly calculated how much money there was, even Li Mingbao's younger brother Li Minghua could calculate it.

But this year is different, just the barbecue stall that Li Mingbao made made a lot of money, and Li Mingbao's uncles have become rich just by working, not to mention the Li family, who takes the lion's head, if you don't calculate it, everyone doesn't know in their hearts.

The most suitable person to do this work is Li Mingbao's eldest brother Li Mingyao, because the business of the barbecue stall has been handled by Li Mingyao since Li Mingbao let go. Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves, the recently high-spirited Li Mingyao said: "The business of the barbecue stall is better than we imagined, we thought that this business could bring about three million net profits to the family a year, but now it seems that the original forecast was a bit conservative." ”

Speaking of this, Li Mingyao looked at his fifth brother with a somewhat complicated look, although after Li Mingyao took over the barbecue stall, he used his own efforts to run the barbecue stall better, but if there was no Li Mingbao to lay the foundation, no matter how good his management ability was, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it would not be useful.

"In the past, it was calculated that the profit of a year could be 3 million Hong Kong dollars, but now the profit of the barbecue stall is about 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is not a full year, which proves that the Hong Kong market is better than we imagined. And the uncles' salaries have also risen to an average of about 1,000 yuan now, which is already a pretty good income, so the uncles are also very satisfied. This is the profit of the barbecue stall, as for the tea restaurant, it is still the same, the income is not much, but the capital in the family goes from here, which is just enough. ”

Hearing his eldest brother's words, Li Mingbao himself felt incredible. It is an exaggeration that a small barbecue stall can have a net profit of four million. But since the eldest brother has said it, then this number must not be miscalculated.

"Yes, although four million is not much, it is also a good start, there are no good projects yet, these four million will be put first, and whoever needs it will open his mouth." Li Guangxin said at this time.

Although this money was earned back by the two brothers Li Mingbao and Li Mingyao, it does not mean that only the two brothers can use this money, as long as who is really useful, Li Guangxin will never be stingy, just putting the money there is actually a loss, which the Li family suffered such a loss in the early years, even if it is a middle-aged man who does not like business very much, Li Guangxin is not unaware of changes.

"Originally, I wanted to use this money to make movies, but now I am not short of money, I have written articles and scripts for most of the year, worked in wireless, and earned about 900,000 yuan, so I have no use for this money for the time being, of course, I may use it later, and I will discuss it with my eldest brother when the time comes." Li Mingbao said.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Li Guangxin and they didn't react much, as for Li Mingbao to make a movie, it was not the first time they heard Li Mingbao mention it, but since he used his own money, it was not a big deal, and if he lost, he should buy a lesson. And Li Mingbao's second brother Li Minghui, when he heard Li Mingbao say that he would discuss with his eldest brother if he wanted money in the future, he suddenly remembered the last time he talked to Li Mingbao, Li Mingbao also said this, which made Li Minghui have the idea that his eldest brother was working for Li Mingbao.

At this time, this idea has become a lingering shadow, and Li Minghui only hopes that Li Mingbao will think more about doing things, so as not to let the current good situation go to waste.
