Chapter Thirteen It's Worth It

"Nine points of royalties, a guaranteed print run of 20,000 copies, and a price of 25,000. It is estimated that the money you will receive should be 45,000."

Zhao Qiang was on the phone for a full hour and a half, and finally settled down. After putting down the phone, she said to Yang Fengmei and Zhang Qing: "Generally speaking, newcomers only get a maximum of 8% of the royalties. Only famous people, Xiang Zhao Tianyang,

Only Situ Wentian and the others can get a royalties of ten to fifteen points. However, Zhang Qing's situation is really special, so the company decided to exceed eight percent."

Yang Fengmei was a little dissatisfied and said: "Just one point higher is nothing more than a breakthrough... I'm not talking about you, Xiao Zhao, I'm talking about your company, it's really..."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Teacher Yang, it's really rare. Moreover, our company can advance the royalties of 45,000 yuan to Zhang Qing with a guaranteed print run of 20,000 copies."

"Ouch, really?"

Yang Fengmei turned her anger into joy and said happily.

Zhao Qiang nodded and smiled: "It's true. In fact, with this book, the fate of classmate Zhang Qing will definitely change. Because from the current point of view, it will not only publish 20,000 copies, but will definitely print more! Our "

"Ancient and Modern Strange Tales" has a history of more than ten years, with a wide audience and many readers. The replies to the society every day are packed in sacks, and a large part of them are written to Zhang Qing. The publishing department has specialized personnel

According to statistics, there are more than 30,000 letters in this part alone. Therefore, we are very confident.

Besides, Zhang Qing, this volume of 250,000 words is not even half of the novel, right?"

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "No, about a quarter."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "So, this book can bring at least hundreds of thousands of income to Zhang Qing!"

Zhang Qing pursed his lips and said, "I checked and found out that the hospital in Shanghai can perform kidney transplants for uremia patients. They may be cured after a kidney transplant. The cost seems to be 400,000 yuan."

He looked at Zhao Qiang with twinkling eyes, as if he wanted to get an accurate answer.

Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Based on some of the situations I know, it is very likely to reach or even exceed this number!"

Zhang Qing suddenly smiled. He stood up and bowed to Zhao Qiang, saying, "Thank you, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Qiang was caught off guard. She quickly stood up and laughed loudly: "Don't be like this, I am an editor, so..." She didn't know how to persuade her, so she walked in the opposite direction and said irritatingly: "Zhang Qing, "The Condor Shooting"

"Once "" is published, you will have a status in the martial arts world in the future. Many other publishing houses will definitely come to you. When the time comes, don't..."

She wanted to change the conversation, otherwise she would feel too embarrassed.

Zhang Qing looked at Zhao Qiang and said word by word: "As long as my father's disease is cured, there are three parts of "The Condor", and I will license them to you for free. In front of Teacher Yang, I will never tell lies.

.”

Yang Fengmei patted Zhang Qing's clenched hand and said to Zhao Qiang: "Although this child is poor, he has good character and ambition. All our teachers like him. I also hope you can take more care of him. Thank you."

Zhao Qiang nodded solemnly and said: "Teacher Yang, the most important thing in martial arts is chivalry. Without these two words, I would not be working in the club. Don't worry, we will never betray your trust."



After sending Zhao Qiang away, Zhang Qing followed Yang Fengmei's instructions and returned to the Yang family.

After entering the door, Yang Fengmei took Zhang Qing and smiled triumphantly at Wang Zhi, who was also a teacher: "Did you see it? Did you see it? What is a proud disciple? Do you have such a student?"

Wang Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "How can you compare me with a student like this? He is better than the teacher."

Yang Fengmei was too lazy to pay attention to him. After letting Zhang Qing sit down, she said to him: "Zhang Qing, the teacher knows that you are in urgent need of money now and you also need to make money. However, it is your senior year after all. You can't... delay your studies.

"Do you understand what the teacher means? You are so gifted and talented, and the teacher doesn't want you to regret it in the future." She was afraid that Zhang Qing would drop out of school in order to make money for his family. Or he would focus on writing and waste his studies.

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Teacher, I understand, I still want to go to college. This is my wish and the wish of our whole family."

Yang Fengmei smiled relieved when she heard this, but then she said: "As for kidney transplantation, your husband happened to have just watched a popular science program, and it said that kidneys cannot be easily replaced if you are rich, and you need to match the type, etc.

Kidney source. Even if it is the fastest, it may take one or two years. So, you don’t have to rush to make a lot of money now. Do dialysis at home first, and then find a way to find out about the situation of the big hospitals in Shanghai and learn more carefully.

,Yes or no?"

Zhang Qing understood, and he smiled and said: "Teacher, I only spend less than two hours a day writing. Moreover, if my monthly test scores drop, I will definitely reflect on it and shorten my writing time."

Yang Fengmei sighed when she heard this and said: "It's a pity that the teacher's family doesn't have that much money, otherwise I would give it to you first... Seeing that the money is right in front of you, it is unrealistic and not appropriate to not let you earn it to treat your parents. OK.

Well, you have grown up, and you are much more mature and stronger than the teacher imagined. You can make your own decision. If you don't say this anymore, I will ask your husband to buy fish and celebrate you today."

Zhang Qing heard this and said with shame: "Teacher Yang, although I really want to stay, I have agreed in advance that I have to go out in the afternoon..."

Yang Fengmei frowned and said: "Where are you going? You are not familiar with this place, so don't run around. Why didn't you tell me what happened to Wang Lei in class last time? I only found out after you didn't tell me, so I found the class teacher.

Wang Lei was called to the office and criticized severely. Next time something like this happens again, I will deal with it too!"

Zhang Qing hurriedly explained: "It's not Wang Lei...it's Qi Juan's parents. Because Qi Juan's grades have improved a lot, they thought it was my contribution and insisted on treating me to a meal. Qi Juan said this several times

, I really couldn’t resist, so I agreed.”

Yang Fengmei's face changed from cloudy to clear after hearing this, and she said: "Oh, it's her family. Her mother is not bad, she is the leader of the Education Department, she is a good person, knowledgeable and cultivated, but... forget it, since you have agreed to others, you

Go ahead, people must not be untrustworthy."

Zhang Qing thanked them again, said goodbye to the two of them, and went back to the dormitory. After hastily changing back into his school uniform, he took the bus to the Tomorrow Bar on Hanzheng Street.

After he left, Wang Zhi said to Yang Fengmei: "You are an amazing student."

Yang Fengmei smiled and said: "Nonsense, you were able to write such a novel when you were in your senior year of high school? It's really amazing that such a thing really happened around me. I thought it was something that only happened in stories, that you could survive a desperate situation.

"

Wang Zhi shook his head and said: "You don't understand. He used family matters to negotiate with people from the magazine, which inevitably gave people the impression that he was selling misery for profit. Even I was a little... I can't say disgusted, but I still felt that

Not very good. Cultural people, even if they love money, they should get it wisely."

When Yang Fengmei heard this, she immediately became unhappy and glared: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk! In your situation, try to do it in a reasonable way!!"

Wang Zhi, who was scolded, couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Listen to what I have to say... But later, when he said that as long as his father's disease is cured, the rest will be licensed for free. I could see that he really meant it.

Even if it is just my thoughts at the moment, they are true thoughts. In this way, people will be rare."

Yang Fengmei smiled and scolded: "You are so blabbering. The person you are talking about is feeling up and down, and it is all your fault." However, she still asked: "Where is the rare thing?"

Wang Zhi is not only a teacher at the school, but also a member of the party committee, in charge of publicity and the Youth League branch. He has been seconded several times by the municipal government and is even preparing to poach people from the school.

So I still trust his eyesight...

Wang Zhidao: "Generally, people who are born in poverty, especially those who are as poor as he is, usually take money very seriously, and spend every penny. The most corrupt officials usually come from poor families. This is the reason. Too much

The poverty will affect and even distort their psychology."

Yang Fengmei was stunned when she heard this. After thinking about it again, she immediately said happily: "Yes, you are right, Zhang Qing doesn't take money that seriously! When I wanted to donate money to him earlier, he insisted not to do it."

Wang Zhi said with a smile: "Whether it is that heavy or not, it's hard to say in the future. Maybe you will understand the beauty of money only after you actually get it, and you can't tell if it will change. But at least for now, his mentality is very good, which is unexpected.

My expectation. So I think it’s very rare. Most people can’t do this, including adults.”

Yang Fengmei smiled proudly and said: "That's right, you don't even know whose student you are! No matter how hard and tiring it is to be a teacher, having this moment makes everything worthwhile!"

She looked at the sofa where Zhang Qing had just sat and breathed out slowly.

It was originally a human tragedy, but now that she saw a miracle happen with her own eyes, she felt much better.
