I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 366, Contributing fees (for subscription)
Medavirabu and others have more confidence in many years than in many years themselves.

Because in the past year or two, they have seen too many miracles created over many years.

What's more, dates are originally a plant in North Africa. If the locals are not too lazy, they can be sold for a lot of money by planting them, and they can definitely support the whole family.

When Frank heard this, he couldn't help but continue to sneer:
"It's like growing date palms, which only requires water. Do you know everything from planting to fertilizing to harvesting?"

Snapped!
Brao directly clapped his hands and said:
"I really know this. When I was young, my family was very poor. At that time, people from the tribe came and said that they wanted to spend money to buy dates."

Dates are extra sweet and delicious.

Rich people in North Africa and the Middle East like to eat snacks like this.

Ordinary people can only pick dates from the date palm trees that grow in the wild, and the rich can grow a few by themselves.

Some of the nouveau riche or those in the middle income class can only spend their own money to buy such snacks.

However, there are not many date palm trees growing in the wild, and the yield is not high. They are also eaten by birds and other wild animals.

Therefore, growing your own date palm trees has become an option.

Therefore, when Burao was a child, he planted date palm trees with others. For a while, the tribe really became wealthy because of the date palm trees.

However, from the beginning of germination, the date palm has been growing for ten years before it ushers in the fruiting period.

Of course, the lifespan of a date palm tree can be as long as a hundred years, and it can produce [-] to [-] kilograms of dates during the full fruit period. It is really a magical plant comparable to the baobab tree.

In this way, it is not enough to have the planting technology, and it must be maintained for a long time, and there must be a stable sales channel.

When Frank heard what Brao said, he immediately shut up.

The date palm touched his blind spot of knowledge.

Nowadays, if the two most decisive things, planting technology and water, have been resolved, then the problem will not be big.

Besides, planting date palm forests is also a guarantee for the future of these pirates.

It doesn't matter if it takes ten years to get results. Anyway, the piracy business is slowly coming to an end.

When the date palm economy takes effect, it will definitely set off a wave.

"Master Guishou, if we can really grow dates, how will we sell the dates produced in the future?"

Kisambani asked cautiously, and everyone also looked at Many Years, thinking about hearing the latter's opinions.

In their view, Master Guishou is omnipotent, but after all, it is about fighting and magic tricks, but when it comes to sales, it may not be that simple.

Everyone doesn’t know much about it. They only know that in North Africa and the Middle East, there must be many people who like to eat dates, but whether they are willing to spend money and whether they can spend money to buy dates is a big question.

"Hehe, is this a problem?"

Many years smiled, and then said:

"The opposite is the Middle East. You should know that those places are full of wealthy masters."

Date palms, in later generations, can produce about 850 million tons of dates every year. The main production and consumption areas are North Africa and the Middle East.

In Muslim, Christian and Jewish religions, dates are a symbol of oasis agriculture, and dates are an outstanding representative of them.

Therefore, in the Middle East and North Africa, dates have been passed down for thousands of years, and they have always been one of the best snacks.

With religious blessings, as long as you have dates, you can basically sell them.

What's more, the Middle East is a gathering area for many OPEC members. Can they be short of money?

Maybe some super rich people have dates grown at home, but they can eat them themselves, but they cannot supply them for some state affairs, major festivals, etc.

Therefore, as long as the date palm economy can be developed well, basically there is no need to worry about no market.

After hearing this for many years, Braao and others suddenly realized that they had already thought about the sales.

Although the specific sales method has not been clearly stated for many years, consumers have already found it, and they have money and leisure, so they basically will not run away.

Therefore, this method is almost a sure win!
The only problem is that the credibility of Somalia is almost negative. It may really not be trusted. It is also possible that it will be unsalable by then.

After all, Somalia is a pirate!

Date palm economic matters have basically been settled, and they have decided on their own on how to divide the areas, how to plant them, what experts to hire, etc.

After listening to it for many years, I reminded them a few words, just don’t mess around, there must be input and output.

Now you can start to purchase dates and build a processing factory. Start small and slowly open up the market.

Frank can be responsible for the sales work. When the time comes, go directly to the Middle East to register a company and establish a sales network.

Youdao is like three cobblers who are equal to Zhuge Liang.

Brao and the others had a very heated discussion. Over the years, they have revised and raised a few points from time to time, and the date palm economic strategy plan has become more complete.

Of course, for many years, he will not forget that he was in the Middle East and asked Anthony to help find technical experts.

When the time comes, just invite people over and do the relevant reception work.

Three days later, I went to the Middle East for many years and brought the experts here.

Brao and others already knew about it, and they never mentioned that this was a matter of Somalia, only that it was a place on the Ethiopian side.

Because these experts are afraid that if they know that this place is Somalia, they will run away directly, or spread the word after they go back, which will be a bad thing.

That's about all the things in Somalia, and I drove a plane to southern Africa for many years.

For raw materials such as copper and iron ore, someone from China Resources Company directly transported them.

The ore raw materials produced by the Rouville Mine are basically sold to China Resources, and the price is not very expensive.

Mekarin, the mine owner, was really obedient and didn't dare to commit suicide again.

Therefore, a trip to southern Africa for many years is just to show a sense of presence.

Not to mention that Mekalin's ability to make money is quite good, and the ore raw materials produced in just half a year are really quite a lot.

China Resources took away raw materials worth more than 300 million US dollars.

Gold is not for sale.

There are a total of more than 2000 catties, which is really a lot.

For many years, food, weapons and equipment, cars, etc. were exchanged for all the gold.

Mekalin insisted on fortifying it for many years, and wanted to give it all for many years with the cash of more than 300 million dollars.

The latter didn't want all of it, and only took 1000 million, leaving the rest to the other party.

If the other party is so obedient, the business can continue to be maintained.

After spending about a week in southern Africa, I soon returned to Somalia.

However, he did not stay in Somalia for a long time, only three days, and then returned to Hong Kong Island with coal briquettes.

The briquette guy didn't want to stay here, and many years of plans went bankrupt.

Since this is the case, then they can only rely on Brao and the others.

Frank, a rebellious boy, should probably never run away again.

After all, there is hope now. Date palm planting is just an economy, and there must be more possibilities in the future.

The pirates are very rich. Brao alone is now worth tens of millions of dollars.

Even if he only robbed a few times in the next half year, he could still earn tens of millions each time.

In a year or two, many years, it will be necessary to raise US$[-] million in cash to acquire Rolls-Royce.

Now it seems that pirates such as Braao and Mekarin, the gold mine owner, are very likely to help achieve this goal for many years.

In Hong Kong Island, it is already early April.

Sun Guohua and other leaders were very surprised by the efficiency and strong execution of solving problems after only going out for more than a month in many years.

"Xiao Xu, let me ask you, does the shipwreck incident in the Gulf of Aden in February have anything to do with you?"

In the office, Sun Guohua, Yu Guangyuan and others have all been staring at it for many years.

It's not that they haven't believed it for many years, it's just that this thing is evil.

Why did the warship sink to the bottom of the sea shortly after leaving Hong Kong Island for many years?

On the contrary, when he stayed in the capital for many years, the Viking pirates were showing off their power in the Gulf of Aden, and the waters of the Gulf of Aden were completely in chaos.

It seems that all the evidence points to many years, but can he have such a great ability?
"Leader, I made it very clear in the telegram, I really didn't do this, it was the Somali pirates."

For many years, he cried out for injustice and tried his best to explain.

Of course he himself knew it was a coincidence, so he went home early.

The Viking pirates should not come to cause trouble anymore, and that Albo should not dare to appear again. After all, the underground world in Northern Europe, London and other places are looking for him.

The bounty of millions of dollars is enough to drive many people crazy.

Once there is no chaos in Somalia, we will have peace of mind for many years.

As for whether China Resources will look for him again, I don't know.

"You really didn't do it?"

Sun Guohua stared at it for many years and asked again and again.

The latter looked at each other without changing his face, confirming that he did not do it.

In my heart, I silently added: I didn't do it, so it's strange!
After a lucky escape, he stayed in Hong Kong Island for a few days for many years to buy the vinyl records his sister asked for, and he bought a vinyl record player by the way.

A record player is expensive, but many years' wages can afford it.

After buying the things, I returned to the Magic City many years ago.

The means of transportation is still ferry and plane, which also take off from Baiyun Airport, and then go directly to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Currently, Hongqiao Airport is still used by both military and civilians. It was not until the 70s that it was converted to civil aviation.

This was the first time I came to Hongqiao Airport in many years. Unlike the big airports that looked like scenes from science fiction movies in later generations, the current Hongqiao Airport is still old and small.

Just like the Nanhai Shadi Airport in later generations.

Coming out of Hongqiao Airport, I took the bus to East China Normal University for many years.

It's quite troublesome to find Xiaomei. You have to sign with the guard and work permit.

College students these days are too expensive. It's class time and they are not allowed to enter the campus.

Xiaomei was still in class, but the doorman suddenly came to say that her brother was looking for her, which made her so excited that she ran out.

"Brother, are you back so soon?"

At the school gate, Xiaomei rushed over and shouted from a long distance away.

"I'll come back after I finish my work."

Smiling for many years, he handed her what he was holding:

"Here, here is the record you asked for. Take it back first, and I'll take you out for dinner later."

He wanted to go back to the capital right away, but the flight to the capital was gone today, so he had to go back to the capital tomorrow.

Now is not the future, there are dozens of flights every day.

These days, it is already very good to be able to guarantee the route of one flight a day.

"Is it really a record?" Xiaomei was immediately happy. After taking it, she couldn't help but want to open it and read it.

She watched happily for a while, then took her brother's arm and dragged her into the school.

"Come on, brother, you can go in with me. You didn't take a good look at our campus the year before last. It's spring now, and our school is beautiful."

In April in the Magic City, although the season when the grass grows and the orioles fly has passed, there are also flowers that bloom relatively late.

Rhododendrons, lilies, cherry blossoms, etc. all bloom in April.

On university campuses, there are usually many flowers and plants like this planted. They are so beautiful every spring.

It's a pity that there are no cherry blossoms planted in Wuhan University now, otherwise this season must be very beautiful.

This time, after entering the campus for many years, the guard did not stop him.

It's not necessary. They are two brothers and sisters. Their relationship is very good, and their eyes don't lie.

Xiaomei chattered and introduced the campus of East China Normal University. After all, this is the place where she has lived for more than a year and almost two years, so of course she is familiar with it.

"You usually go shopping a lot, right? Have you fallen behind in your studies again?"

Just a few words in the conversation, but a few words for many years, the excitement of his sister dropped to a negative number.

"Brother, can we not talk about studying now?"

"It's already April. If I don't mention it at this time, you won't be able to graduate by then. What should I do? You really want to drop out, right?"

Not to mention, next year, she will really have no choice but to drop out of school and even graduate.

Therefore, she must leave East China Normal University with her diploma before the end of this year.

It is very difficult, but it depends on people.

Xiaomei was quiet for a while, and then she reported on her study.

In fact, the two siblings have only been separated for more than a month. In less than two months, she has not made much academic progress.

The only good news is that before the winter vacation last year, she received a manuscript fee of 1000 and [-] yuan for the second novel she submitted.

It can be said that it is rising step by step!

It's a little surprise.

With this manuscript fee, Xiaomei is not particularly anxious about whether she can graduate from East China Normal University on time.

Judging from the expectations of her parents and family and the expectations of the society, Xiaomei can successfully obtain her graduation certificate, which is the best.

But in two and a half years, she needed to complete four years of study and graduation thesis. It must be said that this was a very difficult task.

Although she has now passed the exam in the first semester of her junior year, she passed with a higher passing score.

But she still doesn't have much confidence in the exams and graduation thesis in the second semester.

After all, it's already April now, and it's actually only eight months before December.

After listening to her words, I didn't comment for many years because I was already in her classroom.

At this time, get out of class was over, and there were no classes in the afternoon. Usually, she would go directly to the library, but now she came back to pick up the books and go back to the dormitory.

The brothers and sisters came to the downstairs of the dormitory, but the dormitory aunt did not let them go up for many years, after all, it is different now.

Anyway, if I don’t give it up, I don’t want to go up for many years, waiting outside the dormitory.

After a while, Xiaomei came down, along with Shen Xinyi and Li Funing, Qiu Xiaoqi was not there.

"Brother Xu, we meet again. I haven't thanked you in person for what happened last time."

Shen Xinyi and the two were very warm and polite.

Compared with September of the previous year, the two of them were much more fashionable and confident.

The year before last, both of them were considered black girls. Even though Li Funing was married and their children were two years old at the time, they had to do farm work in the countryside, so it would be strange not to be black.

Now he is much whiter, and he looks like a city dweller.

"Why are you so polite? Come on, I'll take you to dinner. I've really troubled you to take care of my sister in the past two years."

Speaking of these is purely polite talk.

After all, I’m not familiar with it, and it’s been like this for many years.

"Yes, yes, we should have a meal, but brother Xu, I can't invite you this time, I have to come."

Shen Xinyi has money in her pocket, and she speaks with a sense of confidence and grandeur.

Hearing this for many years, he said to his sister:
"Look, learn more from others, don't just listen to music and read some messy books all day long."

Xiaomei rolled her eyes, pulled him and hurried away.

If she continued, she would lose face.

In the restaurant outside the school, four people walked in for many years and asked for a small private room, and the four sat and chatted.

From the chat, it can be known that among the four people in the dormitory, only Qiu Xiaoqi often goes home and doesn't live in the dormitory very much.

Otherwise, we can definitely get together today.

I haven't seen Qiu Xiaoqi for many years, so it's hard to comment.

And they didn't have much contact with each other. On the contrary, Shen Xinyi and Li Funing felt pretty good for many years. Xiaomei should learn more from them.

Similar to Xiaomei, Shen Xinyi has also written three books, but the manuscript fee she earns is not as good as Xiaomei.

The main reason is that Xiaomei's first book was a popular science book, which was more academic in nature. It was widely publicized by the school and became famous.

On the contrary, Shen Xinyi, who wrote entertainment novels, was naturally different.

Naturally, she had read the book written by Shen Xinyi for many years, otherwise, she would have been afraid that Xiaomei would be implicated for many years.

However, after many years of deciding to send Xiaomei to Hong Kong Island, it doesn't matter anymore.

Based on her current thinking, she really should be sent to Hong Kong Island.

The four of them ate very late, and spent the night in a hostel near the school for many years, and went to Hongqiao Airport early the next morning to catch a flight back to the capital.

The capital still hasn't changed much from before, but after returning home for many years, the little kids have a backbone, and their smiles have increased significantly.

Time passed quickly, April passed by, and so did May and June.

After July, summer vacation is coming.

China Resources has not been in touch for many years and let him perform the task.

Because after the warship sinking incident in February, the Gulf of Aden has returned to calm and is no longer so chaotic.For several months, there have been very few pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden.

But once the pirates attack, the success rate is [-]%.

Basically, the merchant ships being targeted cannot escape the fate of being robbed.

However, compared to the previous incident where all the personnel were sold and killed, the pirates now only want goods and money, but they don't want people.

And they seldom hurt people, and they said high-sounding words: We only want to get rich, don't force us to kill people!
Depend on!
As a pirate, which one is not murderous?
It’s simply funny!

No matter what, the Gulf of Aden has finally returned to calm and is no longer as chaotic as before.

Otherwise, it is still very useful for a warship to sink to the bottom of the sea.

On July this day, Xu Xiaoqian came over with a manuscript in her hands after she had been teaching children boxing in the underground boxing room for many years.

"Uncle Wu, this is a novel I wrote. Can you read it for me?"

Her dream of writing a book has never stopped.

Since her fifth uncle came back in April, she has written several beginnings in a row, pestering her fifth uncle, resorting to various methods such as acting like a baby, just hoping that her fifth uncle can help.

There was no way, her fifth uncle was too strong, and her desire to earn royalties was too strong.

Rather than commuting to get off work regularly, she prefers a life of writing novels to earn royalties.

Especially the fact that she received her sister-in-law and earned 1000 or [-] yuan in royalties by writing novels, she was even more urgent.

Since her fifth uncle can train her sister-in-law so well, then she, a junior high school graduate, can do the same, right?

Even if it was a little bit worse, she felt that if she got two or three hundred manuscript fees, it would be much better than working as an accountant in a rolling mill now.

After all, the manuscript fee of two or three hundred for a book is equivalent to her salary in a rolling mill for a year.

And it doesn't take a year for her to write a novel. Under normal circumstances, two or three months is enough.

No, the novel she has now has been completed from the end of April to July now, and it took a total of more than two months.

After many years, I took it over for a look, flipped through it casually, then put it aside, and said:
"I'll take a look at it in the next two days, and I'll tell you then."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wu, I love you!"

"Elder sister is shy, you are not a child anymore, and you still say such nasty things"

Xiaoqian was robbed by Xiaodoubao for a while, her pretty face flushed slightly, but she still retorted, "That's also my dear uncle, closer than my own father."

In her heart, her father Xu Danian is really not as important as her fifth uncle.

It's not that her father treats her badly and requires her to hand over her salary and passbook password, but that her fifth uncle has the greatest influence on her in many major life events.

For example, let her take the accounting exam, enter the rolling mill, etc., these are not what her father can do.

"Okay, train hard, don't wander off!" After many years of drinking, Xiaodoubao had no choice but to stick out his tongue and continue training.

Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi, who are already six years old, already have a little momentum when practicing Bajiquan.

Her strength has also increased a lot, and her daily appetite has caught up with adults. Anyway, the appetite of her uncles is not as good as that of the two of them.

He is good at eating, but he didn't see any flesh on his body, and he didn't grow much in stature.

Except for the two of them, Bai Doufu and Xiao Doan are about the same. They look very thin.

However, when you hold them, they feel quite heavy.

Now, the four older children have already started taking medicinal baths.

After all, their daily training volume has increased a lot now.

The two little guys, Yuan Jing and Fenghuolun, are the same as before, without much change.

The six children in the family are now very standard in doing front flips and back flips.

However, the nickname Hot Wheels still fell on Yuan Xin.

His brother Yuan Jing wanted to give him a nickname, but the result was never satisfactory.

In fact, his mother gave him a nickname, Brother Jing, but he said he didn't like it.

However, everyone called it that.

In the next day, after reading the novels written by his niece Xiaoqian for many years, I can only say that they are very immature.

Well, it hasn’t reached publication standards yet.

Alas, obviously he has helped a lot, but people without talent, whether it is wording or writing, can't do it.

There is no other reason for this.

Another day later, Xu Xiaoqian stayed next to her fifth uncle after get off work.

After getting off work every day, I will go home on time to teach my children for many years.

"I've read your novel. How should I put it? It's improved."

Hearing her fifth uncle's comment, the expectant smile on Xu Xiaoqian's face froze as soon as it appeared.

What the hell is progress?

"Uncle Wu, has it not reached the publishing standards yet?"

She asked cautiously. After all, her fifth uncle had more experience than her in publishing books.

After coming back in April, I have not been idle for many years. Apart from the work in the hospital and the Tiger Squadron, I have completed the writing and drawing of the Calabash Brothers.

The book Calabash Brothers can be considered a comic novel. According to Zhao Liqiu, a book and a comic can be published at the same time.

Some people like to read pure text, while others like to read manga.

With the mature plot and the level of refinement of the text in this manga of Calabash Brothers, it can be written and published directly as a novel.

Comic books are more geared towards children's books, while novels are more geared towards teenagers or adults.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to use two carriers to publish this book.

The novel has also been written for many years, after all, his writing skills are not bad.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Xiaoqian feels that her fifth uncle is very experienced in this matter.

"You know it yourself?"

After giving her a blank look for many years, she was immediately disappointed, and her eyes turned red.

"Uncle Wu, am I particularly untalented?"

"Why are you crying? I didn't say you have no talent. Really, you can't bear a little blow. Your life is still so long in the future. What can you do?"

My niece has a stubborn personality, and she is particularly easy to get into the horns.

Ten cows can't pull back what is determined.

That is to say, as the fifth uncle, he can persuade him a few words, but no one else can.

Seeing that she was about to cry again, she had been speechless for many years. It seemed that she had never experienced a big failure, or maybe he doted on his niece too much.

Otherwise, she is not like this.

After all, even if her mother forced her to tell her passbook password, she would rather die than give in.

"Don't cry, come to me in two days, I'll write you a beginning and an outline, and then you can write it yourself, if you don't finish a chapter, bring it to me for revision, and I'll teach you"

"Fifth Uncle, is it true?" Xu Xiaoqian stopped crying immediately, with a smile on her face. There was no trace of sadness at all?

"Thank you Uncle Wu, I love you!"

"Xiaodoubao, throw your eldest sister out!"

"Elder sister is ashamed!"

The basement was full of laughter and laughter, but Zhao Liqiu suddenly came over.

"Hey, Director Xu, what are you talking about? So lively?"

Zhao Liqiu came to the door suddenly, which surprised many years.

The former hasn't come to his house for a while, and in April and May, he often came to remind him to write.

The main reason is that she herself has become a fan of Calabash Brothers. Looking at comic books, she can't help herself, and is eager to know the next plot development.

The animation plot of the original time and space only has a short ten episodes, and the story also mainly focuses on the two villains, the scorpion spirit and the snake spirit.

The plot is a bit thin, so some goblin villains have been added over the years, and some plots that fit the elements of this era have been added.

What do you say?
For many years, I dare not criticize the reality, or other situations, anyway, it is a purely positive family carnival novel.

Even if the goblin captured Brother Calabash or their grandfather, the plot would not describe some bloody words and pictures.

It is a children's book, and it is not poisonous, so it cannot teach children bad things.

Because of this, the text version of the novel directly exceeded 20 words, reaching 21 words.

And for many years, when writing words, it is much faster than drawing.

There is no way to draw fast. I have become very fast in drawing over the years, but it is certainly not as fast as writing.

That's why Zhao Liqiu often visited her home at that time to push for manuscripts.

She came here today to deliver good news that the manuscript fee has come out.

"Really? Aunt Zhao, how much is my father's royalties?"

Hearing that there was a manuscript fee, Xiaodoubao and their six children were all excited.

Those who didn’t know thought it was a novel written by them.

Xu Xiaoqian, who was standing next to her, was immediately filled with envy and looking forward to it.

"Of course it's true." Zhao Liqiu looked at Xiaodoubao and the others. She also liked these children very much. They were not only cute and obedient, but also very polite.

"Your father's royalties for this time are divided into two parts. The royalties for comics are 80 yuan, and the royalties for novels are 500 yuan."

"Wow, so much?"

When the little kids heard this, their big eyes suddenly blinked, their faces full of surprise.

For many years, he was not surprised, not because he knew about the manuscript fee, but because the money was not much.

There is no such thing as manuscript tax on manuscript fees these days. They are basically one-time payments.

In [-], the Ministry of Culture issued the "Interim Regulations on Contribution Remuneration for Literary and Social Science Books", officially adopting the remuneration principle of "basic remuneration plus remuneration for the number of prints".

The basic remuneration is not affected by the number of prints. Generally, only the basic remuneration is calculated for works published in newspapers and periodicals.

Generally speaking, the writing manuscript is 4 to 15 yuan, and the translation manuscript is 3 to 10 yuan.

The first book Xiaomei wrote before was based on the basic royalties, so it was only 300 yuan.

I'm not well-known, and I still write academic books on popular science. If it's not for high quality, I can't get 300 yuan.

In addition to the basic remuneration, the remuneration for the number of copies is paid to the author according to the percentage of the total basic remuneration based on the actual number of copies of the book.

Beginning in [-], the remuneration for print runs was calculated on the basis of thousands of volumes, and the method of cumulative decline was implemented.

If 1 to 5 thousand copies are printed, 8% of the basic royalties will be paid for each thousand copies. For example, if a manuscript of 20 words is printed for 4 copies, and each thousand words is calculated as 15 yuan, the author’s royalties will be reduced by 40%, to only 7350 yuan. Yuan.

Of course, there will be a "Notice on Reducing the Remuneration Standard" in the follow-up.

The bulletin pointed out that in view of the high remuneration standards, some people's lives are specialized, and they are separated from the workers and peasants, which is not conducive to the prosperity of creation.

The remuneration has been reduced, and it has dropped again and again.

The new regulation on remuneration, on the one hand, reduces the basic remuneration, and adopts a decreasing method in terms of remuneration for print runs.

This has caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially professional translators. This group does not receive a basic salary.

Of course, the situation is different in many years.

It was Zhao Liqiu who took the initiative to invite her to write a manuscript, and he hoped that the manuscript could be handed over to her in many years, and their Zhongshaoshe would publish the book.

Moreover, he has two books. The novel was published first, and then the comic book was printed and published. After all, comics are much slower.

Because of this, the royalties are not the basic royalties.

After all, it is a work that I worked hard to write, and for many years I still hope to be verified by the market.

Therefore, he demanded to be paid for the number of prints, like those famous masters, instead of the basic royalties.

If it were an ordinary person, Zhao Liqiu would directly reject this request.

She did refuse at the time, but she also said that it was okay for many years. Then I will not go to your Zhongshao Press. I will go to Peking University Publishing House. I think Professor Duan Xuefu will be happy to help me with this.

Who is Professor Duan?
Zhao Liqiu was also a member of this system, and soon found out who Duan Xuefu was. He was the head of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.

Damn it, the dean of the university department, and it’s BJ University, can this guy be the same?

Have you known such a big man for many years?

Seeing that she didn't quite believe it at the time, he smiled and asked her to find out who lived in the house where his family now lives.
This matter is also easy to inquire about. After all, Professor Zhou Huazhang of Tsinghua University is also a big shot.

Hearing this, Zhao Liqiu finally came to his senses, no, haven't you been the director of the security department of Beijing No. [-] Grain Company for many years?

A small director actually lives in an independent two-story courtyard house close to the Forbidden City?

It's just that she looked at it for many years in surprise, but the latter smiled and shook her head, unable to ask!

Well, only then did Zhao Liqiu realize that there was another identity behind the many years of co-authorship.

No wonder he lives in such a good location and often travels on business.

Understandable!

So, the matter of manuscript tax was settled.

Since it is a manuscript tax, everything is very different, so it is normal to get a lot of money for many years.

After all, I have had confidence in the book of Hulu Brothers for many years.

"What's the royalties? You won't be training today?"

Qin Huairu came down and asked curiously.

She saw Zhao Liqiu, smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Some time ago, Qin Huairu thought that Zhao Liqiu was coming to her house to steal her man, but it was later confirmed that it was a misunderstanding.

After all, although Zhao Liqiu is in her 30s, she is still a young and charming woman, so it is quite normal for her to like talented young men.

"Mom, there is a manuscript fee for the book written by Dad, and the total is more than 500 yuan."

Bai Doufu and the others rushed over, chattering around their mother to report the good news.

As long as the children are around, it seems that there is no need to repeat these words for many years, they will do it for them.

Upon hearing this royalties figure, Qin Huairu's eyes widened and she exclaimed: So much money?

But it's not bad, her monthly salary is only 37 yuan and [-] cents, and it hasn't changed yet.

If it was 500 yuan, it would take her 66 months to earn that much money.

66 months is five and a half years, and it took less than half a year to write the book Calabash Brothers.

That's why she was so surprised.

Xiaomei has written three books before, and the royalties ranged from 800 yuan for the first book to 1000 yuan for the second and [-] to [-] yuan for the third.

Although there are quite a few, compared with many years, it is much worse.

Zhao Liqiu smiled and said nothing, she has made a lot of money for many years, but in fact the publishing house made the most money.

However, today's publishing houses are all public-private partnerships or state-owned units, and making money is secondary.

Zhongshaoshe, on the other hand, is a state-owned unit with completely different nature.

Talking about money is a bit tacky. Only those who can write and publish books are talented.

And the Calabash Brothers, written over many years, is particularly popular, both as novels and comic books.

The most popular things in this era are short-story books and comic strips. For many years, I wrote fairy tales with ups and downs in the plots, which are very attractive.

Many years are not only talented people, but even more powerful identities behind them.

It's a pity that Qin Huairu took the lead, and she, Zhao Liqiu, was already old.

Yao Chunxi, Xu Baibai and others who had just gotten off work also came to the basement. They were all surprised when they heard about the royalties.

The manuscript fee of 500 yuan is still very impactful.

Zhao Liqiu didn't stay long. After leaving the royalties, she left.

Qin Huairu enthusiastically persuaded her to stay, but Zhao Liqiu did not stay. After all, this was a happy time for her family for many years, and it would not be appropriate for her to stay with an outsider.

It is already [-], and four years have passed since [-].

The material standard of living in the capital has barely improved a lot. Although it is still controlled by bills, it is not as restrained as it used to be.

At the very least, during the Mooncake Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Lantern Festival, the supply of various mooncakes and rice dumplings is more abundant than before, and the quantity is also much larger.

Even so, if you don't have a good relationship, it's still a bit awkward to stay at someone else's house for dinner.

After all, everyone's life is not so easy.

The salary is high, but it is not very useful, because the food is rationed, unless you go to a restaurant.

After Zhao Liqiu left, the house became even more lively.

Xiaodou Bao and the others kept looking at the checks and receipts for the manuscript fee, which were issued by the China Youth Club with the red seal of the China Youth Club on it.

With the check, you can receive the manuscript fee from the bank.
