Chapter 6: Mentoring the Father
In the next week, Chen Heyu reviewed his homework step by step every day, accumulating energy in his spare time, and if it was the day when there was no class teacher's class, he simply skipped class, either running and exercising, or staying in the Internet café to code words.
The whole 150,000-word "I Want to See You" was completed in less than six days, with an average of 25,000 words per day.
On Saturday afternoon, Chen Heyu typed the last word in the Internet café, and a new email alert popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.
"Hello writer, I am the editor in charge of Birch Magazine, your novel "I Want to See You" has been reviewed, meets the acceptance standards, and is rated as a B-level manuscript (200 yuan/1,000 words), which will be published in the next issue, please leave your receiving address, and a sample will be sent to you when published, and the manuscript fee will be settled on the 10th of the next month......"
He smiled, it was expected that he could pass the draft, after all, it was a big hit drama in 2019, and there was no reason why its original novel couldn't even be looked down upon by youth magazines.
As for B-level manuscripts, he doesn't care, before submission, he checked the manuscript fee standard of Huahuo, as a newcomer, it is already an exceptional treatment to be able to get B-grade, the manuscript fee income is only a small money, and the royalties and even film and television copyrights in the future are the big ones.
Chen Heyu replied to the email, left the school's address, and then sent all the remaining texts, and waited for the money to be collected.
Considering that the manuscript fee will not be available until at least May 10th, he thought about it and created a new folder on the computer desktop, planning to write another online novel to subsidize his life.
At this time, the "Five Whites of the Central Plains" was in the ascendant, and it was still on the way to become a god, and various online literature genres were blooming, such as cultivating immortals, robbing tombs, rebirth, and traversing, etc., which made readers addicted.
Glancing at the singularity monthly ticket list, Shenji and Tomatoes took the lead, respectively occupying the top spot with "Yang God" and "Jiuding Ji", Tudou's "Breaking the Sky" ranked sixth, and the rest of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", "Fake Heroes", "Martial God" and the like are also masterpieces and have become the objects of imitation by latecomers.
Whose copy is it?
Chen Heyu slid the mouse, each of the five whites had their own masterpieces out of the circle, and choosing which one became a headache for him.
The list is dominated by fantasy and Xianxia, and after thinking about it again, he still plans to copy a fantasy novel, and when he saw that Dong Ge was still serializing "Immortal Realm", his face was happy, and he immediately tapped the keyboard and named the file "Covering the Sky".
As for Brother Dong, I can only say I'm sorry.
Ascend to the sky, walk on songs, and cover the sky with a snap of your fingers.
The manuscript fee, rewards, royalties and animation copyrights of this book have at least tens of millions of income, and it is also one of the few novels with more than 100 million clicks, and it is still hovering in the top 50 of the best-selling list after many years.
In one afternoon, he fired at a high speed of 6,000 words per hour, firing at full power, and completed 20,000 words.
Then apply for a writer account, create a new book in the background, upload 20,000 words directly, the pen name is called "Humanoid Codeword Machine", and the personal introduction says "10,000 words a day on weekdays, 20,000 words a day on weekends and after it is put on the shelves." ”
In this era of daily 4K, Chen Heyu's profile is full of the atmosphere of the king, exuding the posture of the king of volumes.
The next process is to wait for the review, and only after the review is passed, can the book be searched on the novel website.
Glancing at the sky outside, Chen Heyu stretched his waist and refused Gu Xiaobai's invitation on TT, he is an adult, what is it called to play with little children every day, and then plan to go home for dinner.
Pushing open the door, I saw a handsome middle-aged uncle sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup, and watching TV intently.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Going out to surf the Internet again?"
"No, with Gou Wei, review your homework at Wang Yiming's house." Chen Heyu put down his schoolbag, his face was not red, and his heart did not skip a beat.
"There are less than two months to go before the college entrance examination, you can control it yourself, and life is in your own hands." Chen Sihai took a sip of tea and didn't ask to the end, he was also young and understood the little boy's thoughts.
"Okay, I won't let you down." Chen Heyu was relieved, and at the same time touched by his father's words.
When I was young, I didn't understand the meaning of my father's words, but after entering the society, I went through beatings and lessons to understand the importance of reading.
During the meal, the family of three chatted while eating, mostly around Chen Heyu's studies and the business situation of his own shop.
Grandma left early, Chen Heyu died early before he was born, grandpa lived with the second uncle's family and lived in the countryside, the main old man stayed in the countryside all his life, and he had long been accustomed to the surrounding living environment.
Chen Sihai understood that his father didn't want to drag himself down, and he didn't bother him, so he took care of his younger brother's family.
"Your second uncle can say it, if you can get a book, I will give you a new mobile phone." Chen Sihai said with a smile.
"Then you tell the second uncle and let him prepare the money to buy a mobile phone." Chen Heyu is full of confidence, he has completed the review work this week, and he understands all the knowledge points that he didn't learn in his previous life.
In his previous life, he only took two exams, but his second uncle still paid for him to buy a new mobile phone.
"Speaking of all the big words, we still don't know about your academic performance? If you can take two exams, your dad and I will be satisfied. Liang Huiyi didn't believe it in her words, and she didn't want to put too much pressure on her son.
Chen Heyu didn't refute, he could prove it in the next mock exam, and then buried himself in a big meal.
"In the past two years, there have been more and more cigarette shops, and it has become much more difficult to do business." Chen Sihai sighed.
"What are you doing in front of the children?" Liang Huiyi gave him a blank look and blamed.
"Grandma, I'm eighteen years old, and I'm already an adult." Chen Heyu retorted with a smile, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and planned to reveal some news in advance, so as to save his father's business from getting worse and worse in the future, and he had a sad face all day long.
"Abba, Chunshen's development has been getting better and better in the past two years, and people from surrounding towns have also begun to come to the city to buy houses.
"For example, our tobacco and alcohol shop, there used to be two on one street, and the business was naturally booming, but now?" Chen Heyu analyzed.
"There are seven or eight of them on one street, and now the daily turnover is less than half of last year." Chen Sihai saw that he was reasonable, and then added.
"There is no business that will always make money, and the model of cigarette hotels has passed, including small supermarkets, which will slowly close down in the future." Chen Heyu is sure that in the future, the outer city will be developed, and several large supermarkets will be settled in the county, not to mention small tobacco hotels, and even some local supermarket chains will begin to survive.
"Abba, Grandma, so we have to transform in advance, and in the future, giants like Da Ruifa and Carrefour will also come to Chunshen to open stores, and if you want to run, you won't have a chance."
Chen Sihai was surprised, he didn't expect his son to say such a thing, and it made sense to savor it. If people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, and he still understands this truth.
It's just that transformation is easier said than done, and it's even more confusing to do new business.
"Then tell me, what kind of business is better?" Chen Sihai asked anxiously.
"Hot pot!"
Chen Heyu threw out the answer!
This thing is so profitable, not only in 2010, but also in 2024, the hottest business in the mall is hot pot! With a fast turnover, high gross margins, and a wide audience, many people have made a fortune from this business.
Not to mention, just one of his elementary school classmates, his parents opened a hot pot city two years later, and the business was full every day, and within a few years, he lived in a big villa and drove a luxury car to swagger through the county.
"Hot pot? Your mom and I haven't done it either. Chen Sihai hesitated.
"The hot pot business is simple, you can find a bunch of pot base recipes on the Internet, and you can control the freshness and service of the ingredients, so you don't have to worry about making money." Chen Heyu said bewildermently, he also has some Sichuan-style pot base recipes in his head, and in 2010, he will definitely be able to retain customers.
Chunshen is in the middle of the Huai River, and the locals prefer heavy mouths, and the fresh and spicy hot pot is absolutely suitable.
"Okay, then I'll leave this task to you." Chen Sihai advised.
Chen Heyu nodded, and he didn't plan to persuade his parents at one time, first put the formula out, and then make a plan, focusing on the characteristics of Sichuan-style spicy + duck blood all-you-can-eat, if the business is not hot, it will be hell.
"Abba, I have a netizen who is from the surrounding area of Shanhe Ancient Town, and their demolition is said to be demolished for one and pay three? You said that we are so close to the museum, and in the future, the county will engage in tourism, will we also have the opportunity to demolish it? ”
"Internet cafes should be less frequent. Although I say that, where is the money for demolition in our county? Chen Sihai waved his hand and shook his head, obviously not interested in this topic.
Chunshen has no money, but the next state has money!
But Chen Heyu is not good to say directly, in the future, Chunshen County will be allocated to the state, and in the future, the land in the outer city will be expensive, and high-quality commercial housing will even exceed 10,000 square meters, right?
Seeing that Chen Sihai didn't believe it at all, Chen Heyu could only be helpless, let's talk about it next time.
