MTL - Dad, Please Try a Little Harder-Chapter 101 Ding ~ The manuscript fee has arrived... Twice!
Chapter 101 Ding~The manuscript fee arrives...twice!
250000!
In terms of cash, this is the largest investment Qian Quan has made so far.
Of course he didn't use the money Lin Xiaohuang left him. After getting the reward from his father for selling the copyright, there were more than 2 million in his own bank card, and taking out 250,000 at one time was within the acceptable range.
The key is that this is a predictable investment with no loss.
For him, there is also the practical significance of accumulating experience.
This is all very necessary.
If you want to maximize the benefits of those cash rewards from your father, the best way is to try to make money make money, and investment and business are the most direct ways.
This time, my parents and Aunt Ding Shulan came over and talked about the topic of settling down and buying a house in Zhonghai, and also reminded Qian Quan that some things can go with the flow, and some things should be taken the initiative.
He hopes that one day in the future, when two pairs of parents come to Zhonghai to play again, he is already a real local snake.
At that time, the four elders no longer followed them aimlessly at the so-called must-check spots in Zhonghai, lamenting the astonishing housing prices of Zhonghai, but sat in the mansion, drinking tea and chatting.
However, before engaging in investment and business, he must first study, learn knowledge, experience and skills from books and experienced people.
As for the moment...
Continue to study professional knowledge hard, enjoy college life seriously, recover your body bit by bit, and expel the tricky turbidity lingering in your chest.
According to my optimistic judgment, it will take at least a year and a half to fully recover to the peak state.
During this period, he couldn’t participate in martial arts competitions, and he couldn’t play basketball, so he was going to participate in chess competitions, to determine ratings, get bonuses, and—
He is about to start writing a novel officially.
The pseudonym of the Yuanyuan Chinese website account has also been changed from "Jingshan Stone" to "Quxiang Xiangtiange".
There is no way, the former is too directional. If the book becomes popular later, and Ding Linlang notices it, it is easy for her to guess her identity.
The new pseudonym is much more cryptic.
Tuesday afternoon, he took his laptop to the school library to type.
From two o'clock in the noon, until the library closed at night, the first three chapters of 9,000 words were declared completed.
He didn't plan to save the manuscript, so he directly logged on to Yuanyuan Chinese website and uploaded it.
…
Wednesday, 9:00 a.m., source Chinese website editorial department.
The third group of editors, Lynch, turned on his computer and logged into his work QQ and work background.
As soon as QQ went online, it started to dance non-stop.
As an editor with relatively old qualifications, Lynch has accumulated thousands of authors.
Among these authors, there are many night owls with upside-down schedules. If you encounter problems when writing or uploading articles, you must leave a message to the editor as soon as possible.
Therefore, every morning, the first thing Lynch does when he opens QQ is to deal with the author's message.
These comments are full of strange things. Although most of them are related to the work, some of them are about the author's own life details, midnight emo ravings, such as self-doubt, relationship problems, family conflicts, etc.
But as an experienced senior editor, Lynch has already handled these messages with ease.
For example, an author left him a message at 1:20 am:
"Hello editor Lynch, I just finished writing a new chapter, and I want to say a few heartfelt words to you:
"I'm so stupid, really, I just know that coding will be very hard, I have to stay up late, and I want to be bald when I think about the plot. I didn't expect that after uploading, no one watched it, no one saved it, no one voted, no one subscribed.
"Ah, no, someone subscribed, and someone commented. That subscription and the comment of 'this book is so hot, I chase after it' are exactly me...
"Editor Lynch, I know that you are the most handsome editor on Yuanyuan Chinese.com, and even the entire online literary world, so I would like to ask you to guide me, a little confused author, whether I should continue writing on this path..."
Lynch’s response to this kind of message is usually only one sentence, a precise, short and effective sentence:
"A recommendation will be scheduled for you this week."
The author immediately revived after receiving the message, threw a bunch of happy emoticons over, and went to type happily.
It took half an hour to process the author's message, and Editor Lynch began the daily review of the manuscript.
Then he saw in the background the book "My Brother Is Too Reckless" by the author "Qu Xiang Xiang Tiange" that had just passed the review.
The title of the book is quite satisfactory, and there are even suspicions of following suit, but the introduction and opening chapters show the author's very strong writing skills.
"This writing is definitely not a newcomer, it must be the vest of an old author!"
Lynch said something to himself, sent the work to his editor-in-chief, and suggested signing the contract.
After reading it, the editor-in-chief replied that the quality of this book is very good, and it has the potential to become a blockbuster. Immediately arrange to sign a contract and follow closely.
So Lynch sent a contract short message to the author "Qu Xiang Xiang Tian Ge".
…
Qian Quan is the website short message received when uploading a new chapter at noon.
He didn't expect the other party's reply to be so fast, and he passed only three chapters.
Compared to submitting to a magazine, this efficiency is really more than a little bit higher.
What made Qian Quan even more amazed was that he signed a contract with the website without printing and mailing the contract, and signed it directly online.
It can only be said that technology changes life.
After signing the contract, adding Lynch as an editor, and saying hello, the next step is to seriously update it every day.
According to his coding speed, the tentative plan is to update two chapters every day, with a total of more than 6,000 words.
1000 more characters than Ding Linlang.
In addition to code words, Qian Quan also signed up for the chess competition held by Zhonghai City.
He wants to win the title of first-level chess player first.
For him, this is of course not a difficult task. As long as he wins all the way and wins the provincial championship, he can be named a first-class chess player.
Then go to participate in the national competition, and win the championship again, and you will be able to get the title of master.
With the title of master, you can continue to participate in high-end chess competitions and win higher prize money.
Qian Quan thought that by devoting himself to codewords and participating in chess competitions, he could downplay the attention on the Sino-Japanese martial arts competition.
But in fact, he couldn't do it at all.
As the date of the competition approached day by day, the publicity spread in an all-round way, and the online public opinion became increasingly heated, Qian Quan felt that his mood could not be calmed down.
Zhang Xianger has returned to Wudang to practice in closed doors.
Bai Yun Gee also paused the video update to prepare for the competition.
Although Zhao Baiyu couldn't ask Qian Quan to give her advice in person, when encountering problems, he would communicate with Qian Quan on WeChat as soon as possible. Obviously, he was also actively preparing for the battle.
Qian Quan added the "World's Top Ten Fist Masters" all of them are gearing up.
This exchange match, due to Qian Quan's previous high-profile warm-up, has attracted unprecedented attention.
Antagonism among the people is on the rise, and online public opinion is aroused.
The huge pressure of winning and losing even made the official media of the two countries begin to come off the field in person to cheer for their players.
Self-media and short video internet celebrities, closely following current events, began to review the confrontation between China and Japan over the years, vowing to add fuel to this tense atmosphere.
In this atmosphere, Qian Quan ushered in the driver's license subject three test.
He finished the road test with ease, and when he returned to the test room, he saw an uncle squatting on the ground crying.
Curiously asked other candidates: "Then why are you crying? Have you passed?"
"Passed, took the exam 6 times, and finally passed, I was so excited that I cried."
"Oh." Qian Quan smiled and nodded, listening to the uncle's cry, he felt a sense of release from the pressure.
Sure enough, the collapse of an adult happened in an instant.
In the afternoon, Qian Quan also passed subject four and officially got his driver's license.
Just when he took the photo and was about to share this joy with everyone, another, no, two joys came at the same time:
【Ding~ The system detects that your father has received 19,500 yuan in manuscript fees, and you will be rewarded with 195,000 yuan! 】
The mobile phone immediately received two text messages, one was the reward from the system, and the other was the 9,750 yuan payment for the manuscript.
