Chapter 91: "10,000 Yuan Households" Realized in This Way?
He Yun looked at the remittance slip in his hand and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
He was not surprised that the remittance slip was sent separately, after all, the remittance slip itself has a mailing function, and there is no need to use an envelope to mail it at all, and what he was really surprised by was the remittance amount on the remittance slip.
Ten thousand! A whole 10,000 pieces!
He was a little confused!
What is the concept of 10,000 yuan at the moment?
It means you can build three houses in the country.
If you change the familiar title, it will be a proper "10,000 yuan household".
That's right, it's "10,000 households", a term that was almost unique to the eighties.
After the reform and opening up, throughout the 80s, "10,000 households" were extremely rare, and in this era when the per capita monthly wage was only 34 yuan, it was very difficult to save 10,000 yuan a year.
Of course, difficulties are difficulties, but they are not completely absent, such as those who are bold enough to go to the SAR to make a living, or those who have seized the wave of reform.
In addition, there is another category of people, who are also likely to become "10,000 yuan households" in a short period of time.
Such people take advantage of legal loopholes, or simply take goods from the Xiangjiang River and resell them to the mainland, earning a huge price difference, or even directly go to the coast to participate in smuggling.
Although many of them have made a lot of money, there are also many people who have accidents, in one sentence, that is, "high returns and high risks go hand in hand".
Of course, these actually have little to do with He Yun at this time, the money he earns at the moment belongs to the manuscript fee, not to speculation, nor to any form of illegal and criminal acts, and most importantly, this form of making money is a way of making money that most people generally recognize at present.
It can be said that He Yun took this money completely with peace of mind, and others were envious at most, and if they said a few sour words or something, they would not expose or "crusade" at all.
"Ahem..... Writer He, are you dumbfounded? 10,000 yuan! I don't necessarily have that much money in my salary for ten years! At this time, the staff in front of the counter also said with envy.
"Ten years? Sister Zhang, do you really dare to say that your ten-year salary can be 10,000 yuan? Don't even think about it, I think it's going to take at least twenty years, tsk....... This writer can really make money, and I can easily earn 10,000 yuan in manuscript fees, which makes me want to submit articles. At this time, another staff member glanced at the staff member who spoke in vain, but also said with envy.
He Yun smiled awkwardly at this, and immediately explained to the two: "Brother Li, Sister Zhang, you are both mistaken, strictly speaking, this 10,000 yuan is not a manuscript fee, it can only be regarded as a royalty, it is my novel is published, and the publishing house gave me a sum of money, and it is very likely that this money will be paid in a lump sum, and there will be no more in the future." ”
"That's pretty impressive, and if I could make that much money, I wouldn't want to work at the post office!"
"How can that work, we are an iron rice bowl, how many people can't serve it if they want to, Li Xiaofeng, don't do stupid things?" At this time, the female staff member hurriedly persuaded the male staff member.
"Hahaha..... Sister Zhang, don't worry, I'm just talking! When the male staff member heard this, he immediately smiled and said with a haha.
However, He Yun understands that in fact, although most people in the system are reluctant to have an "iron rice bowl" in their hands, when they see more and more people making a lot of money through various means, their hearts are also moved.
And this may be the main reason why in the late 80s, early 90s, and even the entire 90s, with the increasing number of layoffs from state-owned enterprises, a large number of people chose to go south to "go to the sea".
The temptation is too great, and many people simply quit their jobs or went through the procedures of leaving their jobs without pay, and chose to go south.
Among them, many people accumulated the first pot of gold and became later business tycoons.
Of course, all of this is far away, but let's go back to the moment.
When He Yun finished reading the remittance amount of the remittance slip, his excited heart gradually calmed down.
So, he immediately opened the letter sent from Kyoto.
There was only one piece of paper in the envelope, on which about four or five hundred words were written, and when he looked at the contents, it was indeed sent by the literary magazine "Contemporary", and it was written in the tone of the editor-in-chief.
In the letter, the other party gave a detailed account of the publication and sales of Fanghua.
For example, the letter mentions that only 50,000 copies were printed for the first time of publication.
But what the magazine didn't expect was that the 50,000 copies published by the People's Literature Publishing House were quickly sold out as soon as they went on the market.
What they didn't expect was that the army also sent representatives at this time, and they directly requested the People's Literature Publishing House to ask the relevant printing houses to print 100,000 copies of "Fanghua" again as soon as possible, so as to serve as the internal publication of the southern frontline troops.
The reason is self-evident.
In this regard, the People's Literature Publishing House quickly approved this request, and quickly asked the relevant printing houses to print 100,000 copies of the novel "Fanghua" again at full speed and hand it over to the troops.
Of course, according to the confidentiality regulations, the People's Literature Publishing House will definitely not explain this kind of thing to He Yun in the letter, they just said that the novel "Fanghua" written by He Yun has been published in 150,000 copies, and the price is 8 cents and 7 yuan.
In this way, if the 10,000 yuan is converted into a royalty rate, it is about 3% equivalent, which has completely reached the level of royalty rate in later generations.
Of course, strictly speaking, this 10,000 yuan cannot be regarded as royalties, but can only be regarded as manuscript fees or remuneration.
Since 1960, the state has stopped using the royalty system and adopted a manuscript fee system.
However, with the country's reform and opening up in recent years, the original manuscript fee system has actually been loosened to a certain extent, after all, for the original creator, such a remuneration is really low, especially for those who have published the original author's work later, the relevant publishing house will generally consider giving the original author a certain amount of follow-up manuscript fee compensation at one time.
In fact, it is the money he has received now.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that this money would be so much, as much as 10,000 yuan!
"Maybe the publisher has something special in mind, right?" He Yun muttered secretly, but he didn't delve further.
"Sister Zhang, Brother Li, I still have some business, so I'll leave first!" He Yun looked at another letter, and saw that the sender wrote "Gao Yunyan", and he immediately raised his head to the two of them.
"Hmm...... Well, if there is your letter next time, Sister Zhang will ask the postman to send it for you first! ”
"No, you don't! No, thank you Sister Zhang for your kindness, you just do things according to the regulations, I'm not in a hurry. ”
"That'...... Okay, goodbye, and come back often! ”
"Okay!" He Yun replied and left.
When he left the gate of the post office, he looked left and right, and then lowered his head and opened another letter............
