Chapter 245: Spending Money to Avoid Disaster
Lin Yuzhu didn't know about this in advance, but she could guess that since the publishing house dared to say so, it must have obtained Zhao Yanshu's consent.
So I immediately asked him, "What's going on? How did you get mixed in again when you just took it out?"
Zhao Yanshu smiled and said soothingly: "Don't worry, listen to my explanation."
Lin Yuzhu calmed down and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Zhao Yanshu thought for a moment and said, "Professor Li actually asked for my opinion on this matter. In the previous public opinion, although we only saw the exchanges in the newspapers, there were actually many attacks behind the scenes, but we just didn't know about it.
Although the Li family won this time, there are still some fish that slipped through the net, and as long as my book exists, it may still be a target and excuse for attacks by others in the future.
I think we should take this opportunity to publish it in the country. No matter what the result is, it can be regarded as our active participation.
And this is also Professor Li's suggestion. In this way, we can take the opportunity to convert the income from the foreign book into foreign exchange, and then donate half of the income to the country as taxes, which can also benefit the country. In this way, we will stand together with the country, and no one will use this to hinder me in the future.
As for publishing in China, this is an opportunity for me. I wrote this book for Chinese people to read.”
Lin Yuzhu was silent for a moment, "Is this the surprise you told me about before?"
"right."
Lin Yuzhu was speechless. Was this a surprise or a shock?
He sighed, "I understand your thoughts, but I'm still a little worried. Your book has been in the spotlight now, and people will definitely be more critical of it. Even if there is nothing wrong with it, some people will still make trouble for no reason."
Just like the keyboard warriors of later generations, they can’t stand others being better than them.
But Zhao Yanshu smiled calmly, "I know, don't worry, I'm not worried. Everyone has the right to like or dislike something. No matter what the evaluation is, I will accept it."
Since he said so, what else could Lin Yuzhu say? "Okay, since you are willing, then let's do it."
Zhao Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had given in. Then he said a little embarrassedly:
“You didn’t seem to have listened carefully to what I said just now. I said I was going to give half of the income from foreign publishers to the state as tax.
But the country cannot intervene in this matter, fearing that foreign publishers will deliberately hide the book, so we still need Professor Li’s friends to continue to help, and the embassy has signed a contract for donations and cannot stop, so in the end, the income we get is probably only 3.5% of the royalties. "
Although Lin Yuzhu felt sad to hear that she had lost so much money all of a sudden, she didn't care about it because she knew that she could save a lot of trouble by relying on the country. After all, she really couldn't bear it if such a thing happened again. So, she just considered it as losing money to avoid disaster.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, I get it. 3.5% is not a small amount. We have so much money now that I don't know how to spend it."
Zhao Yanshu was relieved when she said that. "Aren't you going to buy a house? Have you found a suitable one?"
Lin Yuzhu was about to tell him, "Yes, Sister Wang has a friend who was rehabilitated last year. After living in Beijing for a year, she wants to go abroad. She has a courtyard house for sale. I plan to go take a look and buy it if it's suitable."
"Okay, when are we going?" He completely listened to his wife regarding such expenses and didn't ask any further questions.
Lin Yuzhu smiled, obviously very satisfied with his attitude. "Tomorrow, it happens to be a holiday, so let's go and have a look. I heard that his courtyard house is in a good location and many people want to buy it. If it weren't for Sister Wang asking for me, I wouldn't be able to get a number."
"Okay, then let's go take a look tomorrow and buy it if it's suitable."
"good."
