Chapter 139: Don’t show off your wealth! But Old Shen is an exception! (Subscribe)

"Brother Tree?"

"What the hell is Shuge?"

Ma Zhuang looked at Chen Qiushan with suspicion, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Tao Meng on the side waved at Shen Qiushan awkwardly: "Hey, I'm Wutong!"

"Well?"

Shen Qiushan was shocked and looked at Tao Meng in disbelief: "Are you Wutong?"

"Uh-huh."

Tao Meng nodded repeatedly, then pointed at Ma Zhuang and introduced him, "This is Editor-in-Chief Ma from our content department."

"Hello, Ma Zhuang!"

Ma Zhuang took the opportunity to extend his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao just said that you are a high school student!

"Before June, I could barely be considered a high school student."

Shen Qiushan shook hands with Ma Zhuang and replied casually.

“You are Shen Qiushan!”

"Old Shen?"

Yao Xiaochuan on the side suddenly exclaimed. When Shen Qiushan walked into the box, he felt that the man looked very familiar. Just now, when he heard Shen Qiushan say that he was barely a high school student before June, he immediately remembered the news that had been popular on the Internet before.

Sanjiang City produced a 38-year-old top scorer in the college entrance examination!

At that time, Yao Xiaochuan paid special attention to this news, but he didn't expect to meet the person in person today.

After hearing what he said, Ma Zhuang and Tao Meng also reacted.

"Are you the 38-year-old top scorer in the college entrance examination?"

Ma Zhuang's face showed shock.

Tao Meng, a cute girl with big eyes, blinked her big eyes. With the reveal of Shen Qiushan's identity, it became clear why this "high school student" had such amazing writing skills and seemed to have rich social experience.

He is a "high school student" indeed, but he is also a "veteran" who has been working in the society for many years.

It is much more reasonable that such a person could write a wonderful rebirth novel.

"What about the top scorer in the college entrance examination? It's all a thing of the past!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and waved his hand: "Didn't a writer say that we can't just rest on our laurels and stop moving forward!"

"Since yesterday, I am already a freshman at Sanjiang University!"

"ox!!"

"Old Shen, I really admire you!"

Yao Xiaochuan gave a thumbs up vigorously. He was 39 years old, one year older than Shen Qiushan. When watching the news, he wondered how many points he could get in the college entrance examination if he went back to high school to review for a period of time.

He concluded that it would be difficult to even get a bachelor's degree, let alone become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

After a brief greeting, Chen Qiushan sat down next to Ma Zhuang.

"Old Shen, before the people from Chenghua Film and Television Company arrive, take a look at this contract first."

As he spoke, Ma Zhuang took out a contract from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Qiushan.

In fact, Ma Zhuang and Tao Meng didn't have to come for this signing, but they had a different mission from Yao Xiaochuan, which was to sign Shen Qiushan, the talented new author.

There are roughly three types of author contracts for Penguin Novels. The first type is the ordinary contract that Shen Qiushan has currently signed, which is one contract per book and has no constraints on either party.

The second type is the "Great God Contract", which can only be signed if the performance reaches a certain level. Penguin Novels gives authors better treatment. The most intuitive reaction is that the profit sharing ratio of paid novels will be adjusted from 50:50 in ordinary contracts to 73:30.

At the same time, the author will also be subject to certain restrictions. For example, if Shen Qiushan signs, the pen name "Chen Buke" can only publish works on Penguin Novels. The contract period is five years or eight million words.

Of course, the contract period and word count can be negotiated and adjusted.

The third type is the "Platinum Contract", which is one level higher than the Great God Contract that Ma Zhuang gave to Shen Qiushan. The author enjoys more favorable treatment, but the performance required is higher.

Shen Qiushan carefully looked at the "Great God Contract" that Ma Zhuang handed to him. In fact, it was equivalent to binding the pen name "Chen Buke" with Penguin Novels, but the proportion of the royalties he could get was higher than before, and he also received various benefits and the honorary title of "Great God Writer".

"There's no problem with this contract."

“However, I may not have plans to publish a new book in the near future.”

"I just started college, so I still need to adapt to college life."

Putting down the contract, Shen Qiushan said seemingly sincerely.

In fact, whether he can publish a new book depends entirely on his luck. If he can draw an online novel one day, then of course he can publish a new book.

“There’s no rush for a new book. You can take your time to think about it.”

Ma Zhuang chuckled, his mission this time was to sign "Chen Buke" and bind this talented new writer to Penguin Novel to prevent him from being poached by other websites.

"By the way, this contract will not affect my ability to sign a publishing agreement with a publishing house using my real name or a pseudonym, right?"

According to Shen Qiushan's understanding of the contract, there should be no impact, but he still confirmed it out of concern.

“No impact at all!”

Ma Zhuang gave an affirmative answer, and then asked curiously: "Why, do you have plans to write a short story for publication?"

"Well, it's possible."

Shen Qiushan gave an ambiguous answer. Of course, there was no need for him to tell Ma Zhuang, the deputy editor-in-chief of Penguin Novels, about "The Three-Body Civilization".

Afterwards, Shen Qiushan signed the "Great God Contract" and officially became one of the great authors of Penguin Novels!

After signing the great contract, Liang Renchao, vice president of Chenghua Film and Television Company, also arrived.

Since an agreement has been reached on the copyright price, both parties only need to go through the signing process.

Of the 10 million yuan in copyright income, Shen Qiushan will split it 50-50 with the platform, which is 5 million yuan. After tax deduction, he will get more than 4 million yuan!

If it was before the novice mission was settled, more than four million would still be a huge sum of money worth being excited about for a long time for Shen Qiushan.

But the situation is different now. Shen Qiushan has more than 100 million in his bank card!

In contrast, the greater significance of this than copyright income is that he can further “launder” the money he gets from the system.

If I said that he earned tens of millions from electronic royalties, I'm afraid many people would not believe it. But now that the copyrights have been sold for tens of millions, it is naturally more credible.

"Old Shen, we at Penguin Novels might promote the sale of the film and television rights to your book."

"After all, this is our work achievement. Do you think it would be convenient for you to announce the specific transaction amount?"

"If you mind, we won't mention the transaction price when we promote it."

After the dinner was over, when they were walking out of the box, Ma Zhuang pulled Shen Qiushan's arm and said.

“It’s not inconvenient!”

“You can promote it however you want.”

"Anyway, this money of mine wasn't stolen or robbed!"

Chen Qiushan is eager for Penguin Novels to promote it well.

In this way, he could naturally buy a luxury house and live in it.

It is actually quite painful to have money but not be able to enjoy it without restraint.

Although the house they live in now is barely big enough, it is also quite crowded.

My daughter Shen Yanran is better off in the master bedroom, as she has her own bathroom.

But it is quite uncomfortable for him, his father and his son to share one bathroom.

Besides, his little room is too cramped and depressing!

So he had been planning to move to a bigger house a long time ago, and now that the copyright has been sold for 10 million, it wouldn't be too much to buy a luxury house, right?

"Old Shen, you are the one who is clear-headed."

"Now that we've made money, we should spend it openly!"

Ma Zhuang's face flushed after drinking a few glasses of wine. He liked authors like Shen Qiushan who did not hide their money.

This will help them with publicity and attract more authors to write books for Penguin Novels!

A new author, the copyright was sold directly for 10 million!

This is no more attractive than any advertisement.

However, the philosophy held by most authors is to "make a fortune in silence" and they are reluctant to make it public even if they have made a lot of money.

In real life, this approach is actually correct.

Wealth should not be shown off, it has been like this since ancient times.

Especially when the wealth of your relatives and friends is not at the same level as yours, if they find out that you have suddenly become rich, there will be an endless stream of people coming to you to borrow money!

If you borrow, there is a high probability that you will not get the money back.

If you ask for it, they might say with a clear conscience: You are so rich, how can you not need this little bit from me?

If you don't lend it to me, you will become my enemy and you never know when I'll stab you in the back!

So, when you become rich, that moment when others come to you to borrow money.

There is a high probability that your relationship is over.

The reason why Shen Qiushan doesn't care about these things is because his situation is different from that of ordinary people.

As a man with cheats, this kind of thing can't restrain him!

3:30 in the afternoon.

The first teaching building, classroom 109.

The first class meeting of the Electrical Engineering Department was held here.

When Shen Qiushan arrived at the classroom, he was the only student in the class who had not yet arrived.

His arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In fact, the classmates in the class already knew that Shen Qiushan, the nationally renowned 38-year-old top scorer in the college entrance examination, was their classmate.

However, except for Bao Beibei, Feng Sicong and Zhao Hongyu, who shared the same dormitory with Shen Qiushan, the other people in the class had never seen Shen Qiushan, and they were naturally full of curiosity about this older top scholar.

“Uncle Shen!”

"Here it is!"

"I've saved a seat for you!"

Just as dozens of eyes from the class were fixed on him, Shanghai Young Master Bao Beibei waved vigorously at Shen Qiushan.

This little fat guy was determined to become Shen Qiushan's son-in-law, so naturally he didn't want to miss any opportunity to please Shen Qiushan.

However, he stood up and called out to Shen Qiushan loudly at this moment. In addition to the idea of ​​pleasing Shen Qiushan, he also used this method to attract the attention of other students in the class.

After all, everyone's eyes are on Shen Qiushan, and when Bao Beibei says this, many people will pay attention to him.

Shen Qiushan had no aversion to Bao Beibei, the spoiled young master from Shanghai.

The child is still young.

Just get beaten up by society a few times!

Under the gazes of dozens of people in the class, Shen Qiushan slowly walked to the last row of the classroom and sat down next to Bao Beibei.

"Uncle Shen, are you a day student?"

"Do you all go home tonight?"

After Shen Qiushan sat down, Bao Beibei asked curiously.

"I snore when I sleep, and I was worried that it would disturb you, so I slept in the apartment in the faculty dormitory last night."

Shen Qiushan replied casually.

This reply fully demonstrates the old man's high emotional intelligence (cunning)!

He clearly felt uncomfortable sleeping in the dormitory, but he was accused of being worried about affecting other people's noble behavior.

"Old Shen, you are wasting your time."

"Beibei's snoring woke me up and I thought it was thunder!"

Feng Sicong on the side added.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not true!"

Bao Beibei quickly denied it, and then explained to Shen Qiushan with a serious face: "Uncle Shen, don't listen to his nonsense. I just snored a little yesterday because I was too tired. I'm not like this usually."

This young master from Shanghai was also funny. He almost said to Shen Qiushan directly: Father-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t disturb Shen Yanran’s sleep because of my snoring!

"Xiao Bao, we are roommates and classmates. Don't call me Uncle Shen anymore. Just call me Old Shen!"

Shen Qiushan doesn't care whether Bao Beibei snores or not, but the name must be changed.

The fat boy calls himself "Uncle Chen", which means he is pursuing the correct seniority, which shows that he still has evil intentions towards his own daughter!

"Uncle Shen, this isn't necessary!"

Bao Beibei naturally didn't want to change his address. If he treated Shen Qiushan as an equal, wouldn't he be a generation older than Shen Yanran?

What kind of thing is it when the “elders” and the younger generations fall in love?

“It’s necessary!”

Shen Qiushan said sternly: "If all of you call me uncle, what's the point of studying!"

"Beibei, just listen to Lao Shen."

"Although Mr. Shen is older than us, we are still classmates!"

Feng Sicong echoed from the side.

While the three were talking, counselor Liu Guangming and deputy counselor Liu Qingwu walked into the classroom one after another.

Seeing the two people, the classroom, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.

Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei also shut up.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Guangming, and I'm the counselor of our Electrical Engineering Class 1."

"Here's my phone number. Everyone, take note of it. You can call me anytime if you have any questions."

As he spoke, Liu Guangming picked up a half piece of chalk and wrote his name and phone number on the blackboard.

Then he pointed at Liu Qingwu and introduced her, "This is our class's assistant counselor, Ms. Liu. She is responsible for most of the daily work in the class. Ms. Liu, please say a few words!"

After saying that, Liu Guangming gave up the seat in the middle of the podium.

"Hello, classmates. My name is Liu Qingwu."

Liu Qingwu took two steps forward and gave her name.

Then she also wrote her name and contact information on the blackboard.

Seeing this, the boys in the class quickly took out their mobile phones. They recorded the contact information of the beautiful counselor, which was much more active than recording Liu Guangming's contact information.
