Chapter Seventy-Three: New Cars and Royalties
Squinting at Zhao Jinxiang, Sun Peng was full of grief and indignation!
How long has this been?
When he crossed over, Zhao Jinxiang had just chased his eldest sister, and it was a little more than half a year now, right? You kid dare to propose?
Hum! What are you kidding?
Don't you dare to propose marriage after two or three years of coaxing? Is it true that the girl of our old Sun family can marry home so easily?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Sun Peng's strange face, Zhao Jinxiang's face turned dark and scolded: "Do you kid know how long did I chase your sister before I got it?" I'll tell you, it's been a year and a half! A year and a half of time have you spent in vain? Hey, your sister has already understood me as a person, and ...... We're both very old now! ”
“……”
twitched the corners of his mouth, Sun Peng didn't want to pay attention to his quasi-brother-in-law.
After chasing for a year and a half, plus more than half a year later, it was only in the early two years, do you think it's too long? What is that person's long-distance love run for seven or eight years? Yes? What is it? And Zhao Jinxiang himself is only thirty-three, and Sun Jing is only thirty-one, where is this age?
"Xiaopeng, hurry up and help me think about it!"
Ignoring Sun Peng's thoughts at this time, Zhao Jinxiang urged thoughtfully: "That's the eldest sister who loves you the most, how can you think of a marriage proposal that is not worse than this advertising creativity?" ”
"Uh...... You know that's my eldest sister, huh? ”
With a roll of his eyes, Sun Peng muttered secretly in a voice that Zhao Jinxiang couldn't hear.
Well, he has to admit that his emotions are actually just unwilling to let his eldest sister get married. Or in other words, in fact, the original Sun Peng was unwilling, and the kid's sister love plot was quite serious.
"Huh? What did you say? ”
didn't hear what Sun Peng said clearly, Zhao Jinxiang hurriedly asked.
"No, nothing...... Well, I'll go back and think about it. ”
Patting his head, Sun Peng suppressed the unhappy thoughts in his heart and smiled bitterly.
In any case, whether to accept this decision or not should be made by the eldest sister, and Sun Peng will definitely not interfere. And after getting along with Zhao Jinxiang for more than half a year, Sun Peng knows very well that this guy has a lot of small problems, but his character is really good, especially when he has always been loyal to his eldest sister, there is really not much to complain about.
And......
Regarding the eldest sister's marriage, the uncle's family is also a little anxious.
Sun Peng doesn't know if it's caused by the different social development processes, don't look at the world's Chinese economy is much better than on the earth, but in some traditional concepts are more conservative, the old Sun family's patriarchal thinking is one of the proofs. Thirty-one-year-old Sun Jing is indeed no longer young, and the uncle is more satisfied with Zhao Jinxiang......
"Oh, yes!"
After his mind turned around, Sun Peng suddenly patted his head and said single-mindedly: "Brother Xiang, you'd better ask Linlin about this advertisement to see if she is interested in being a heroine or something...... That girl is beautiful and in good shape, it is more than enough to shoot an advertisement, and it can be regarded as fat and water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders! ”
"Hehe, I've thought of this a long time ago."
Zhao Jinxiang nodded and laughed, but quickly pulled the topic back: "Xiaopeng, you still concentrate on helping me think about the way to propose, but don't forget it......"
……
Euphemistically rejected Zhao Jinxiang's invitation to have lunch together, and Sun Peng went to a car shop in a hurry.
Sun Peng, who has a famous car or a sports car, doesn't think about it, what he wants is an ordinary scooter, so Sun Peng came directly to the store of Zhonghua Automobile and spent half an hour choosing a Zhonghua brand car.
At this moment, Sun Peng must praise the world's domestic cars.
Because history turned around at the beginning of the 20th century, China's automobile industry started decades earlier than the earth, and the development has been quite smooth, especially with the support of the huge market, three of the world's top ten car companies have been squeezed in! Zhonghua Automobile is one of them, and it is also the old man's favorite brand at the beginning, and Sun Peng has no reason not to support it.
There is no bloody plot, and the process of buying a car is as smooth as that of ordinary people.
The new car Sun Peng chose the best selling one of the Chinese automobiles, all down to 210,000, which is considered an ordinary level in the capital. Of course, the money only paid a deposit, and the manuscript fee of the scholarly Chinese network will not arrive until three days after it comes out, and Sun Peng is now the tens of thousands of yuan......
"Hehe, it should be on next weekend."
After completing the formalities and coming out of the car dealership, Sun Peng, who had no ambitions, was very satisfied: "The next thing is the old house...... But it's such a large area, if I want to clean it up like I want, I'm afraid it's no fun if I don't have more than one million...... Hmm, speaking of which, the Scholar Publishing House should be about the same......"
……
"All the paperwork is ready to be sent to the printing house."
Under Sun Peng's inquiry, the editor of Shuxiang Publishing House replied very simply: "Our publishing house has its own printing house, but it is the peak season now, and the work schedule is relatively full, I am afraid it will take about ten days to enter the warehouse...... When the time comes, I will definitely send you the sample book as soon as possible! ”
"Well, you're pretty efficient."
After listening to the editor's words, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.
It has only been a month since the contract was signed between the two parties. A new book can be printed in a month and a half, even if Sun Peng took out the original draft of the revised version, such a speed was enough to make him nod his head and praise it.
In this world, the process of publishing a book is significantly much simpler.
The publishing cycle of a book on the earth should normally be about half a year, but if you encounter a publisher who is not serious, or if the book is really of high quality, it may be compressed to two or three months. When a book changes from an electronic document to a paper book, it has to go through many processes, including editorial review, editing and processing, aesthetic design, typesetting, etc., and the process is quite complicated. But in this world, although the printing process is still not less, it is relatively relaxed in the front review part, especially for books with novel themes, it is even simpler.
But to put it simply, it still takes time to make a book.
When Sun Peng read novels in his previous life, he often saw some very brainless plots, such as the protagonist's new book was on fire, and the publishing house printed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies, and then after being busy, the new book was printed at the speed of light, and the next day he created a myth in the publishing industry......
After really getting in touch with the publishing industry, Sun Peng realized how nonsense this kind of plot is!
Overprinting is of course the easiest, but if a book wants to be printed, including paper printing, cutting, binding, and so on, it takes time to complete, and it takes longer if the printing volume is particularly large. Of course, if the publisher uses the maximum resources it can use, it can still shorten the time by a day or two......
Off topic.
After waiting for a while, the editor smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, the Condor is about to be printed, do you think it is appropriate to promote it in your new book?" ”
"Hehe, of course!"
Of course, Sun Peng would not refuse the editor's reasonable request, so he simply nodded and smiled: "I'll send a preview tomorrow...... Well, go back and post it a few more times, and try to let everyone see the news that the physical book is about to be published! ”
Why don't you promote your new book?
And if it is the second season of Lin Lin's Crazy Lady, although it is also the screenwriter of Sun Pengdang, the style is obviously inconsistent with Xiao Ao, it is enough to advertise once or twice, if it is really posted every day, it will definitely be a loss for adults. But the physical book of the Condor is published, what is it to put more advertising in Xiaoao?
Of course, even if readers have opinions, we can't see it...... People don't read the book review area!
But now, Sun Peng is not concerned about advertising or anything, he is concerned about another thing: "I said that the editor is big, according to the contract, when the new book is printed, should I also settle the first royalty?" Hehe, I'm in a hurry to get the money......"
