Dad Xu was old, his eyes were not good, and he couldn't hold on to the manuscript after reading it for a few days, but in the end he was happy to come out and help read the manuscript.

Dad Xu is only responsible for listening.

If there is something unsatisfactory in the middle, Lele will help to make a mark, and at the same time write down the revision opinions, and wait for Ji Yin to come back from work before making changes.

This autobiography has a total of more than 300,000 words.

It is roughly divided into two parts: the front and the back.

The first half is the life of Xu's father before his career, focusing on the misfortunes of childhood, as well as the bitterness and bitterness of the couple pulling their three children.

Although this part of the content occupies most of the time in terms of time span, it is only a quarter of the length, about 70,000 words.

Among them, the education of the youngest son is the top priority, Xu's father exaggerated and "borrowed" some of the deeds of other people's children, and Ji Yin also used a lot of Spring and Autumn brushwork.

In summary, in one sentence:

Although the richest man has a very average academic performance, he is very smart, sensible, and filial, and has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child.

Ji Yin has a little bit of private goods here, and there is a faint taste of taking the opportunity to criticize exam-oriented education.

Dad Xu is very satisfied with the content of this part.

The old man only made a few changes, mainly adding some content about his biological mother, which he suddenly recalled recently.

This is followed by the second half of the autobiography.

Different from the first half, Ji Yin creatively adopts two narrative lines.

One is Xu's father's entrepreneurial process, and the other is to see the world from God's perspective.

Whenever something important happens, the narrative lines of the two days will intersect, combining the macro and micro just right, which makes people empathize.

As the old saying goes: a glimpse of the whole leopard.

In the long river of history, each specific character is a drop of water in the era, Ji Yin is not small, and hopes to clearly show the changes of the entire era through the trajectory of Xu's father's fate.

The only pity is that Dad Xu retired a little early, and in recent years, he has also been magnificent, not inferior to the previous ten years.

And it is not an exaggeration to say that there will be more earth-shattering changes in the next world, and it can even rise to the height of the entire human civilization.

In other words, all the previous histories of humanity, even if taken together, are in some ways less important than these decades.

It is unfortunate to be born in this era, because the day is precarious, and it can be swallowed up by the times at any time.

At the same time, I am also fortunate because I can participate in more history and even witness the end of human civilization.

Fortunately or unfortunate, no one can escape it.

Dad Xu is generally satisfied with the content of the second half, but he also put forward a lot of revisions, which can be roughly summarized into three aspects.

First of all, the content about the youngest son was added, highlighting the irreplaceable role of Xu Dong in the entrepreneurial process, and even elevating the other party to the status of co-founder.

The old man has already seen it, since the title of the book is how to cultivate the richest man, then he can't sell dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Secondly, all the content of the old Pan family was deleted, which was requested by the other party when asking for the opinion of Pan's father, and it was not beneficial for their family to be high-profile.

In the end, at the end of his autobiography, Xu's father added a public will, which was specially requested by his younger son, and wanted to donate 5% of the shares of Xinke Seaweed to the Children's Bureau in his name.

Speaking of which, Xu Dong's move was also helpless.

In the past two years, his net worth has risen a little alarmingly, which is in stark contrast to the current grim situation.

The whole family agrees with this, after all, their family's money has long been enough, and it doesn't have much impact if there are hundreds of billions less, as long as the equity is still in hand.

Only Xu Bin has always been obsessed.

I couldn't sleep for several nights.

……

A month later, Ji Yin, through his father's connection, took the final version of the manuscript and personally visited the general manager of Kangaroo Country Publishing and Media Group.

After some pleasantries, the two sides got to the point.

"Uncle Lei, this is the autobiography of my wife and grandfather, I personally wrote it, please correct me."

Mr. Lei didn't pay much attention to it at first, there are dozens of similar things every year, and most of the so-called "autobiographies" are actually loss-making businesses.

If the relationship is hard, you have to be hard-headed.

It's easier to do it if the relationship is shallow, and their publishing house issues a book number, so that the other party can pay for it, and you can also take the opportunity to make a profit, which can more or less recover some losses.

After all, the current ISBN is a scarce resource.

However, when he took the manuscript, he just glanced at the title of the book and keenly felt that it was definitely a bestseller.

"Xiaoyin, the richest man Xu is your father-in-law?"

"Yes." Ji Yin nodded, "My wife is the youngest daughter of my father-in-law's family. ”

Mr. Lei suddenly slapped the table: "I have been old friends with your father for many years, and he actually hid such an important matter from me?" ”

"Uncle Lei, don't be angry, my dad didn't mean to hide it from everyone, the main thing is that you didn't ask, our family can't promote it everywhere by itself, right?"

"Okay, you have a point." Mr. Lei patted the manuscript lightly, "You kid is not small, you actually chased the daughter of the richest man's family, hurry up and recruit from the truth, when did you get married?" ”

"The marriage was made during the Spring Festival the year before last."

"Do you have children?"

"I currently have a daughter who has just turned one year old."

Mr. Lei nodded: "Go back and help me bring a sentence to your father-in-law, just say that this autobiography, our publishing house is very optimistic, and plans to publish it online and offline simultaneously, as for the first printing, it will never be less than 500,000 copies." ”

"Uncle Lei, you haven't even seen it......"

Ji Yin hurriedly reminded.

"Don't look at it." Mr. Lei waved his hand, "For your father-in-law's name, plus your writing, with my years of experience, I can pack tickets with you, this book is definitely not bad, and the sales volume is at least more than one million." ”

After all, Asia is home to nearly a billion people.

As long as 1 in 1,000 people buy it, it can have a million sales, and with the extinction of piracy, the book market still has great potential.

Ji Yin saw that the other party was so confident, so he didn't persuade him more: "Uncle Lei, then please leave it to you." ”

"Copyright is fine, right?"

Mr. Lei nodded and asked casually.

"No problem, grandpa and his old man have already entrusted me with all the affairs."

"That's good, in fact, I am personally very optimistic about this book, and I plan to test the water in the overseas market, are you going to translate it yourself, or will you hand it over to our publishing house?"

Ji Yin shook his head: "Uncle Lei, I can't speak English, so let's find someone to translate here!" But I have one condition, I want to make a final review. ”

"No problem."

Mr. Lei immediately agreed.

The reason is very simple, after all, this autobiography involves the richest man, since the other party is willing to personally "check", their publishing house is also happy, in case of mistakes, it is not to blame them.

Immediately afterwards, the two parties signed a publishing contract.

One of the most important is royalties.

Mr. Lei didn't know whether he was really optimistic about this autobiography or for Xu Dong's face, and finally gave a higher royalty: 12 percent.

However, the current book market is very similar to the film market, and according to the requirements of the superiors, it is close to the people in terms of pricing.

If it can really reach millions of sales.

Dad Xu can probably get more than two million royalties.
