I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 410, Villa Toys
To say that you care about wasting time is not because you are afraid of being left behind for many years.

Yep, leaders just love face.

I couldn't stop laughing in my heart for many years, and then said slowly:

"Two leaders, I have already published two novels, Swordsman and The Deer and the Cauldron. Oh, by the way, I also published Ghost Blowing the Lamp yesterday."

"Boss, how about you guess how much royalties I get now?"

Sun Guohua asked, "5 yuan?"

Yu Guangyuan raised his eyebrows and raised a finger, "One hundred thousand?"

As a result, many years ago, he shook his head and gave them a hint: "Boss, my manuscript fee is [-] yuan per thousand words!"

Upon hearing this, the two leaders quickly asked, "How many words did you submit?"

"55 words have been written about Swordsman and The Deer and the Cauldron, and 70 words have been written about The Deer and the Cauldron."

After some mental calculations and finger movements, the two leaders soon took a breath of cold air.

After all, it’s easy to calculate. The income from royalties is really scary.

The royalties from the book Swordsman alone are already 33 Hong Kong dollars.

so horrible!

According to today's salary of 300 yuan per month for many years, if he wants to earn 33 yuan, he will need to work for 91 years.

91 years, many people never live such a long time in their lives.

And in many years, I have made money in a short period of time that others cannot make in a lifetime. No wonder I want to retire in many years.

It is true that the speed of making money is terrible.

After reacting, Sun Guohua and Yu Guangyuan looked at each other with completely different eyes for many years.

It hasn’t been that long, how come you’ve made so much money all at once after so many years?
But then I thought about how so many people were discussing the two novels here, Swordsman, and it seemed that I could understand why.

Sun Guohua and Sun Guohua had forgotten when they left the office many years ago.

Now they haven't figured out how to face Duan Nian and how to convince him, so they can only let Duan Nian go to work first.

At noon, when I returned home after many years, I saw the British gentleman whom I had not seen for several days. He was chatting with Xiaomei and the others.

Xiaomei can speak English, and although she has an accent, she can communicate without any problems.

Not to mention how happy I am to see you, a British gentleman, come back after so many years.

"For 190 million Hong Kong dollars, as long as you pay it in full, the house next door will be yours."

The British gentleman who had been waiting for several days really could not wait any longer.

Therefore, now that I have seen many years coming back, I can’t wait to say it directly.

It has been many years since I got off the bus. This gentleman is really not a gentleman at all.

He got out of the car with a smile, looked back at Xiaodoubao and their four children who had already gotten out of the car, and then looked at the British gentleman and said:

"Don't worry, it's already noon, let's have lunch first."

How could the latter not be anxious?

At this time, the British gentlemen were already impatient.

In the past few days, he had been looking for someone every day, asked many acquaintances, and also told the agency.

As a result, two people came to see the house, but after hearing the price, they ran away.

Two million is already very expensive. The problem is that they need the full payment, and they urgently need the money quickly.

Therefore, although the house is good, it cannot be taken advantage of.

Seeing that the man who had been with him for many years entered the living room with his wife and children first, the British gentleman had no choice but to take a deep breath and follow him in.

It wouldn't work if he didn't go in. He had to discuss it with Duan Nian and try not to let the other party cut too much off the price.

"Sir, you are the first guest to come to our home."

In the living room, Li Jinlian and the others had prepared a sumptuous lunch. After many years of sitting down, they said to the British gentleman with a smile.

There are too many white people in Hong Kong Island.

If it hadn't been for the immigration of millions of people from the mainland in the 50s and [-]s, half of Hong Kong Island would have been white.

The gentleman was patient, and after many years of in vain, he still thought about finishing the house sale at the dinner table.

As a result, there was no contact at all for many years, and we just chatted about something and nothing.

He even asked Xiaodou to protect the children and take the initiative to chat with the gentleman.

The main purpose is to exercise children's English speaking skills, and the main focus is on-site teaching.

Normally, the British gentleman would have been impatient.

But now, even if he felt a lot of grievances and dissatisfaction in his heart, he had to hold it back.

If he's been unhappy for many years, I'm afraid he'll just kick him out.

"Okay, after you have eaten, let's read a book for a while. Let's take a rest in the afternoon."

Seeing that the children had eaten enough, Many Years waved Little Beanbao and the others to go to bed, which immediately made the British gentleman breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, after many years of eating, he moved to the living room next to him.

Li Jinlian brought tea, coffee and so on. Before he could leave, the British gentleman was already impatient.

"Mr. Xu, 190 million Hong Kong dollars, please consider it."

Many years ago shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. I told you last time, 120 million."

Asking prices all over the sky, repaying the money on the spot.

His carelessness almost broke the guard of the British gentleman.

The two men spent the next hour or so haggling over the price.

Mainly the British gentleman is explaining, raising the value of his house, bragging about how nice his house is, and so on.

But it has been keeping prices down for many years.

Just when Beanbao and the others were getting ready to go to school, the British gentleman had to agree.

The price was HK$140, and he suffered a huge loss.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it, because he couldn't wait any longer.

If London hadn't been in desperate need of money, why would he have been so aggrieved?
The house at No. 73 Deep Water Bay is simply not that good.

The scenery here is beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there are sunny beaches, which is simply perfect.

"Have we really discussed it?"

Not far away, Qin Huairu and Xiaomei were whispering. The latter knew English, so he could translate to Qin Huairu simultaneously.

Xu Xiaoqian, who was beside me, was no longer in the mood to write a novel, so she was just eavesdropping.

When she heard that her fifth uncle had successfully purchased No. 140 Deep Water Bay for 73, he couldn't help but be so surprised that his eyes widened.

At the same time, his breathing became rapid.

When will she be able to earn so much money and buy a big villa like her fifth uncle?
After the British gentleman left, Qin Huairu stepped forward and asked:
"The child's father, you just told people about the full payment. Do you have so much money now?"

"No!"

For many years, he said with a smile:

"However, I have already discussed it with the newspaper. It is enough to let them advance the manuscript fee in advance."

hiss!
Xiaomei and Xu Xiaoqian suddenly gained a lot of experience. Can they still do this?

"Is the newspaper company willing?"

Qin Huairu was still a little worried, but after many years he asked:
"Why not?"

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Xiaomei had already explained for her brother:

"Sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know how popular the novels written by my brother are now."

"The newspaper company must want to use money to stabilize my brother. Otherwise, if my brother goes to other newspapers to publish novels, wouldn't the New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily newspapers suffer heavy losses?"

Many Years also nodded and said with a smile:

"What Xiaomei said makes sense, Xiaoru, you don't know, I am actually a small shareholder of the newspaper."

"They were originally a small newspaper company. After being acquired by my friend, they recruited me to join them."

Qin Huairu's three daughters were even more surprised when they heard this.

Minority shareholders?
Although I don’t know how many shares he holds, he is still one of the bosses.

"How is that possible?" Qin Huairu said in a loss of voice:
"If I'm not stupid, why would I give you shares?"

She was confused and puzzled, and smiled casually:
"Then you don't know much about Hong Kong Island. Seven years ago, when Ming Pao was founded, Mr. Cha and Shen Xinbao each contributed capital."

He briefly explained to Qin Huairu and the others how Jin Dada and Shen Xinbao allocated their shares in [-], the year Ming Pao was first established, and how much their respective investments were.

To put it simply, Jin Dada only spent 8 yuan that year and occupied 80.00% of the shares.

Shen Xinbao spent 2 yuan, accounting for 20.00% of it.

However, that was seven years ago after all.

It is now [-], and the price level and the Hong Kong Island market are already very different.

Moreover, martial arts novels are so popular that it can be said to be the beginning of the peak of the entire martial arts novel market.You know, in [-], Jin Dadaji closed his book. At this point in time, there are only a few years left.

After listening, Qin Huairu and the other three finally understood.

It turns out that the quality of these three books written over many years is really high.

Otherwise, it is impossible to get someone to directly give shares based on three novels.

It is even more impossible to pay such a high royalties.

The details have not been stated clearly for many years, but the current situation is that the outside world has been widely discussing The Deer and the Cauldron.

Even Swordsman, which is slightly less popular, has been widely discussed by everyone.

The few of them chatted for a while, and then drove Xiaodoubao and the others to school.

"Dad, is our family going to have another house soon?"

On the Rolls-Royce, Bai Doufu said excitedly.

After getting up from her lunch break, she heard her father say hello to the foreigner with a smile and shake hands. He must have successfully bought the house next door.

Xiaodoubao and the others were also chirping, their little faces filled with happiness.

After hearing their father's affirmative answer, they immediately started planning.

The villa next door is very big, they all know it, after all, it is very close.

The yard is six acres in size, and there is also a tennis court, which is enough to build several more boxing rooms, entertainment rooms, toy rooms, etc.

After coming to Hong Kong Island, they also discovered that the children here have a wide range of interests, such as playing piano, golf, horse riding, surfing, skiing, etc. There are not many.

Many of them were things Xiaodoubao and the others had never heard of, let alone played with.

But it doesn't matter, now their father has bought the next door. If he changes it some time, he will have a toy room.

The toys they played with were enough to teach their classmates in St. Paul's Primary School a lesson.

Apart from other things, when Xiao Doubao and the others talked about the Calabash Brothers, only five children in the class had heard of them.

The Calabash Brothers comic has just been released not long ago, so some little kids have never heard of it, which is normal.

If five people in a class have heard of it, it is already very powerful.

"By the way, Dad, when you have time, can you help us make a toy for Calabash Brothers?"

Suddenly, not long after planning, Xiaotuanzi remembered something and said immediately.

At this time, the car had stopped at the entrance of St. Paul's Primary School.

Many years ago he smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll give it to you tonight."

There are six sets of carvings of the main characters in Calabash Brothers in the capital, but they are all stored in the toy room.

However, there are still about ten sets in the space.

The reason why they had so many of them was because they were afraid that they would ruin the little bean bags and pester him for another set.

Therefore, when he went out on missions and was bored, he would tinker with these gadgets.

The little kids skipped to school. I watched them enter school for many years, then stepped on the accelerator and left here.

In one afternoon, I spent many years going through the house formalities.

In fact, it was not the years that were anxious, but the British gentleman who was anxious. He urgently wanted to sell the house and leave Hong Kong Island with the money as soon as possible.

The business in London is already urgent, and this gentleman is certainly very eager.

The other party was a white man, so the efficiency of several departments suddenly increased.

The social status of white people here on Hong Kong Island is very high.

Moreover, this British gentleman is a wealthy man and has been operating contacts here for decades, so the house sale was completed quickly.

HSBC transferred the money to the other party for many years, and then left with the property deed.

However, it was already late now and the children had already finished school, so there was no need for him to pick them up.

He called home midway, and Xiaomei drove directly to pick up the children from school.

Therefore, for many years it was only necessary to receive his master.

No. 72 Deep Water Bay, after he drove home, Qin Huairu and the others gathered around him.

“Has the house transaction been completed?”

No wonder they were so anxious, because they spent many years doing this in one afternoon.

The key point is that it was done in one afternoon. This matter seems a bit mysterious when you talk about it.

Is Hong Kong Island's work efficiency really that high?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, I have obtained the property title many years ago.

The family cheered, then returned to the living room and began to offer suggestions on how to deal with the villa next door.

Are the two merged into one, or are they just next door?

For many years, of course, it was two in one.

Separate for what?
The walls on both sides were drilled through and then reconnected.

As for the villa next door, just keep it as it is.

The toy room, entertainment room, etc. should be rearranged, but the boxing room needs someone to decorate it.

The European-style building next door has a very spacious lobby on the first floor that can be used as a boxing room.

The family discussed it for a long time, and after dinner, they discussed it for a while, and finally decided.

There is no need for any design plan in many years. Anyway, the villa next door is completely sufficient.

A piano room, etc., can be set up, and it will be sufficient for use.

After the renovation is completed, the next door will be their family's entertainment and study area, which is completely separate from the sleeping and eating area in No. 72.

The family is a bit bigger, but there are also many people in the family.

You may not be used to such a big home at first, but it doesn't matter. Over time, you will get used to it.

The only ones who are having some trouble are Li Jinlian and the other three, who reluctantly want to apply to join.

Because it is simply unrealistic for the three of them to take care of such a big place.

For many years the family understood and said they would invite someone back the next day.

The next day, after Xiaotuanzi woke up and went downstairs after washing, he saw two sets of Calabash Brothers toys placed on the table in the living room.

The main characters are all there, and they are all wooden toys, colored, vivid and very cute.

"Ah, Brother Calabash."

The little kid immediately rushed over, picked up the toys and looked at them carefully.

Taking it to school today will definitely surprise the students in the class, right?

Xiaodou Bao, Bai Tofu and the others also came downstairs, and of course they saw the toy models.

The Seven Brothers, Grandpa Calabash, Snake Spirit, Scorpion Spirit, etc. are all cute toys.

The snake spirit toy is like a beautiful woman on the upper body and a snake tail on the lower body.

However, the upper and lower body of the snake spirit can be separated, and then human feet are attached to her, and she is dressed in clothes, and she becomes a stunning beauty.

These toy models are not very big, only forty to fifty centimeters long and wide.

Even so, as a decoration, it is absolutely perfect.

Anyway, in this era, no one really has such a collection.

"do you like it?"

I have been boxing outside for many years. The little kids played for a while and then ran out happily.

"I like it, thank you Dad!"

"You're welcome, let's warm up quickly and work out with dad later."

"Good dad."

Getting up every morning to exercise is a habit that little kids have developed.

Zhang Mingde did not exercise, but sorted out his traditional Chinese medicines.

The master also wakes up very early and has a very regular schedule every day. Almost everyone in the family is like this.

After finishing morning exercises, I drove my children to school for many years. Then I saw the children and directly packed up several gourd brothers to go to school.

St. Paul's Primary School, Grade [-] Class [-].

As transfer students, the two sisters Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi took out their secret weapons as soon as they arrived in the classroom today.

"Wow, is this the toy model you're talking about? It's so beautiful. Where can I buy it?"

Their classmates all exclaimed in surprise after seeing the toy model of the Calabash Brothers.

Those male classmates all stared at the snake spirit, intently watching.

Because the snake spirits are really beautiful, not to mention lifelike, their hair and clothes are very delicate and perfect.

Although these children are only eight or nine years old, they already know how to love beauty.
