Chapter 23 Close relatives
After the meeting, Yu Wannian and Zheng Tianye stayed with Zhao Qiang to talk, and both of them couldn't stop laughing.
Benefits are attractive to both the heart and the eye.
Huang Chao and Xiao Guoqiang didn't even think about it. "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was suddenly becoming a hit book. It turned out that Zhao Qiang was just an incompetent editor. Who else would it be?
The editor-in-chief couldn't help but take action himself, Huang and Xiao were jumping up and down, their eyes almost popping out with jealousy.
"Xiao Zhao, you have launched a big satellite. If you really succeed in this matter, I'm afraid it will be on the news network."
Yu Wannian said excitedly after reading the official copyright purchase letter sent by Hong Kong City Wireless TV Station in his hand.
Zheng Tianye smiled and said: "This matter must be done. The municipal government and the radio and television may have to come forward to promote cooperation."
Yu Wannian nodded repeatedly and said: "There is no doubt that he will definitely come forward, because next year's node is really too important. Hong Kong Island has not been friendly to the mainland for a long time. Wireless has been the most harmful to us in the past, which is the agreement negotiation.
After it was done, I realized that the pot was made of iron.
However, our country has always been a big country. We are all one family even if our bones are broken and our tendons are connected. Now that people are taking the initiative to cooperate with us, this gesture will definitely be praised and encouraged. So we must also promote this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to talk to us in the future.
.
However, in terms of price... Wireless is famous for being stingy, and they are playing the card of returning next year, making it clear that they don't want to spend more money. In this regard..."
Zhao Qiang said: "I will discuss this matter. Jin Yong is not a money-lover. He said last time that as long as his father's disease is cured, he is even willing to license the remaining books to us for free..."
Zheng Tianye said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, you still don't understand? What's great is this free license. We are not afraid of him opening his mouth, just grind it slowly, but we are afraid of him being free. The martial arts circle has always been despised by the mainstream literary world.
What do those people scold us? Literary sellers with a layer of literary cover say that we are fooling people with our nonsense. If this matter gets out, it is said that we have treated a high school student poorly and our family background is so miserable...
We can be published in the newspapers and scold our ancestors for eighteen generations."
Although they are commercial novel editors, these old people who were the first to engage in martial arts magazines still consider themselves to be scholars.
Yu Wannian also nodded and said: "Yes, at this critical moment next year, it is really impossible for a scandal to happen. So we must be cautious about this matter. If it doesn't work, we will pay for it, and we will pay for the copyright fee."
.Normally speaking, the cost of selling a copyright in the film and television market is between 3,000 and 50,000, and 50,000 is considered the upper limit. I will give you 50,000 yuan, and you can negotiate how much it is, so as long as you don't fall into the trap."
Zhao Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded in agreement, and then joked: "Jin Yongruo knew that it was a gift for the return of Hong Kong City next year, so he specified that no money would be required. He is not greedy for money, and he has also made a lot of money. Just one day
Just one copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can make him hundreds of thousands. After publishing four volumes, he still hasn't made millions? He is a millionaire."
Zheng Tianye suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, he has to pay taxes on this money. We helped withhold the tax on the royalties. He has to pay the taxes on the copyright fees himself. Don't be careless."
"good."
…
"I think this is most likely done by Zhao Mu. Wang Lei doesn't have the brains... This is a means of political struggle."
During the Qi family's dinner, Qi Juan told Qi Ping and Li Suzhi what happened today as a happy event.
It was also just in case Zhao Mu lost his mind and resorted to other methods, although she believed that the Zhao family would not dare.
Li Suzhi was very unhappy when she heard this and said: "What political methods do you know?"
If you really want to use this method, how can it be just like this?
Qi Ping agreed with his daughter and said with a smile: "I think he is also a boy from the Zhao family. Such methods are generally not of this level in the yamen. However, that's it, Xiao Zhang, don't worry."
However, he did not say a word. I am afraid that the boy from the Zhao family was causing trouble not only to damage Zhang Qing's image in front of the head teacher and teachers, but also to damage Zhang Qing's image in the eyes of his own daughter.
Normally, when a boy receives a love letter, he will only feel secretly happy and sullen, so he can read it by himself.
If this is the case, then there are some things that are really difficult to explain clearly.
Li Suzhi said lightly: "If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. As long as you are upright, why should you be afraid of conspiracy? You have to learn Zhang Qing's way of doing things. You can't put yourself in a disadvantageous situation just to take care of the face of an inexplicable person. Avoiding suspicion is also a kind of
Self-respect."
Qi Juan laughed and begged for mercy, Qi Ping also laughed, changed the topic and said: "Ms. Xu is coming this Saturday, don't forget to tell Zhang Qing."
Li Suzhi frowned and said, "Delaying your studies."
Qi Ping smiled and said: "It's going to be a holiday soon, and it's time to take a rest. Of course, you have to work very hard in the senior year of high school, but I think the focus is on improving yourself when studying this kind of thing. Don't take the exam too seriously. In order to survive the exam,
No more."
Qi Juan said with admiration: "Dad, you are so enlightened. What you said makes so much sense!" She turned around and praised Li Suzhi: "Mom taught me really well!"
Li Suzhi glared at her, but still chose to listen to some reliable opinions. She hesitated a little and said: "That's all right." Then she sighed: "Every time Xu Zhen comes here, she always invites some bad friends. You and Zhang Qing and Shanshan see
Go back and stay away from them."
Qi Ping explained with some guilt: "They are all people with a good temperament, so they are not bad."
Li Suzhi rolled her eyes at him angrily, but still warned her very seriously: "Tell Madam Xu that Ru Man is not allowed to come! What I said last time... was simply despicable!"
Qi Ping had a headache and said, "I just drank too much..." However, he couldn't resist Li Suzhi's increasingly stern gaze, so he nodded.
Qi Juan was extremely happy.
…
On Friday afternoon, outside the Jiangjing City Post Office, Zhang Qing, Zhang Guozhong, Sun Yuehe and his sister Zhang Lan queued for an hour and a half and finally got in line.
In early 1996, telephones were not new in big cities. Although the initial installation fee of two to three thousand was unaffordable for most families, they were not uncommon in office buildings.
It's just that ordinary citizens who want to make long-distance calls have to go to the post office and queue up.
Seeing the operator at the counter checking the order and dialing, Sun Yuehe looked at her son nervously and asked, "Is your uncle and the others really waiting at Zhang Cai's house?"
Zhang Qing nodded and said: "I called Zhang Cai's house on Wednesday and asked him to ask his uncle to pick up the phone this afternoon. It won't be wrong. My uncle is busy and has no time, and there is also my second uncle."
Sun Yuehe felt a little relieved and said, "I'm sure I'll have time. It's not busy with farming now. Fu Sheng can feed the cattle and sheep at home."
Fusheng is Sun Mantang's son and Zhang Qing's cousin.
Zhang Lan also asked happily: "Will Haixia come to answer the call?"
Sun Yuehe taught a lesson: "Shaoxing! You still want the whole family to answer the phone? You don't have to pay for the phone?"
You don't need money, it's only one yuan a minute, but you don't need money, you need your life.
Zhang Lan is not angry, but a little regretful. She is leaving Jiangjing City soon. She has made many friends in school...
"Okay, it's connected."
The operator handed over the phone with an indifferent expression, and then went about her business. She didn't care about these family members, and her ears were almost getting calluses all day long.
Sun Yuehe didn't dare to answer the phone. After Zhang Qing took it, he said, "Is this Uncle Zhang Cai?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Qingzi, I am your Uncle Zhang Cai... Come on, come on, the whole hall is full, Qingzi is calling!"
The other end of the phone answered first, and then it became noisy. There were many people's voices, but it soon became quiet, and it was still very quiet.
Zhang Qing heard the voice of his uncle Sun Mantang on the other end of the phone: "Qingzi?"
Zhang Qing said "Yes" and said, "Uncle, it's me."
Sun Mantang's voice was a little solemn and deep, and he said: "What's wrong? You still made a long-distance call. Is it because you don't have enough money? How are your parents and your mother?"
Another old voice came from the other end of the phone. It was a little far away, but it was still audible: "Let him know the address clearly. I will wire him some money and bring him back. He can't be left outside."
Hearing this, Zhang Qing put a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, uncle, and I also want to reassure my grandpa and grandma. My dad is fine. He was checked at a big hospital. He said that there was no proper check at home. It's not uremia and it can be cured. My mom is also
I’ve been patching it up and it’s getting better.”
"Oh, really?!"
Sun Mantang's voice suddenly rose, and his surprise was beyond words.
Zhang Qing responded: "Really."
Sun Yuehe on the side had already begun to cry. While crying, he said loudly: "Brother, it's true, it's true. Guozhong is fine, and I am fine too. Let me tell my family so that you won't worry."
Sun Mantang's voice also choked up, and then he said to the people over there: "Okay, Guozhong has made a mistake here. He is a good person, everything is fine, everything is cured, Yue He is also fine, everything is fine."
alright!"
The place immediately became lively again, with everyone talking loudly into the phone.
I could hear the voices of Zhang Qing's grandpa, grandma, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second uncle and two cousins.
Fortunately, Zhang Cai remained calm and reminded them that phone calls were expensive.
Sun Mantang immediately calmed down and said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay. If you're okay, come back soon. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's not too late to come back now."
Zhang Qing said: "Uncle, I called you first to report that I am safe, and secondly to ask you for a favor."
Sun Mantang said loudly: "What can I do for you? You said you don't have enough travel expenses? Tell me your address and I will call you. Qingzi, save some money outside, ah?"
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "That's not the case. We have enough money. I want you to go to the county town to find someone who sells houses and buy a building. My father and mother are not in good health and it is difficult to go back to smash coal and carry water.
If you are frozen and tired, the disease will relapse. My father does not need to have a kidney transplant, which saves a lot of money, so he can buy a house. It is best to choose a bigger one so that my grandpa and grandma can live there."
When the person on the phone heard this, he immediately became quiet. After a while, Sun Mantang said in confusion: "Qingzi, how much money does your family have, and you don't even have enough money for medical treatment? Why do you suddenly want to buy a building? Are you looking for gold?"
The second uncle over there knew more about it and reminded him: "Have you forgotten that Qingzi made money from the essays he wrote?"
My old cousin Sun Fusheng couldn't figure it out: "How much money can I make from writing? I've already made so much, and still have some extra money?"
Second uncle Sun Yuantang started to scold her: "You know now? I fucked my mother. I scolded and beat her and refused to go to school! Now I know it's too late!"
Zhang Qingdao: "That book made a lot of money. Uncle, you are tired. Please help me read more. It should be better and as big as possible. It is best to be on the second floor. Grandpa and grandma will not be tired from climbing the stairs."
On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Zhang Qing said loudly: "I won't go, you just have to live your own life."
Grandma Zhang Qing also said loudly: "Qingzi, I will live with your uncle, don't worry about us!"
Zhang Qing thought for a while and suddenly said: "Let's do this. Uncle, you look at two more sets and buy three sets. Come closer, one set for our family, one set for uncle and two uncle's families. Then grandpa and grandma will take turns.
Live in whatever house you want. Live in a building in the winter and return to the village in the summer."
He is willing to use gold to repay even a grain of rice to anyone who has helped his family, let alone a close relative who has saved his life?
Besides, the current house price in Xijiang County can buy a house for 10,000 yuan, so he can afford it.
