Chapter 142 Signing the Publishing Contract and Signing...
Chapter 142
Lin Mujin went to the Hong Kong Chinese Society happily, but came out feeling angry.
What can you do in seven days?
Why are you so stingy?
I just told my cousin Lin this morning that we should stay inland for a few more days to see the world.
I was slapped in the face in the afternoon.
I also studied how to bring money with me more safely, but customs didn't allow me to bring in large amounts of cash.
Some things cannot be achieved by just thinking about them unless you actually do them.
She had to go to Huifeng to open an account, transfer the money, and then ask how to handle the bill of exchange and cashier's check.
Opening an account at Huifeng Bank went smoothly, and I also consulted on how to handle bills of exchange and promissory notes.
She is not suitable for handling bills of exchange because bills of exchange require information from the other party.
A cashier's check would be more in line with her requirements, but it also requires multiple steps.
You need to fill out an application form, transfer funds, and get approval from the bank. It usually takes three to five working days for review and approval. Only after it is approved can you collect the cashier's check.
But she couldn't withdraw all the money and deposit it into the bank at once, as it would be too conspicuous.
So we decided to come in batches.
Withdraw 20,000 in the afternoon, and then make an appointment to withdraw 200,000 tomorrow.
The reason why we don’t transfer the money directly is because there is a handling fee.
She also forgot the year when the inter-bank transfer fee was abolished.
Don’t even think about it in recent years.
Lin Mujin spent almost two hours going between two banks. She had originally planned to go to Huimei, but now she had to go home.
It’s getting late, so I hurried home to prepare the seafood.
——————
At the dinner table, the family enjoyed a seafood feast.
"Sister, this tuna is so delicious!" Lin Muli is a good eater and always eats until his stomach is full.
Lin Mujin was peeling shrimp. "Yeah, the price is right, and the food is delicious."
Cousin Lin asked, "How much is it?"
Lin Mujin didn't say anything, fearing that if she did, they'd feel bad and wouldn't be able to eat well. "I'm treating, why are you asking so many questions? I've already bought it. Brother, I went to the Hong Kong Chinese Society today..."
He repeated everything she had asked, "I have to go back and ask, otherwise it will be really troublesome."
Cousin Lin was also a little dumbfounded, "Why is this happening?"
Cousin Lin was even more of an afterthought, "I already thought it was impossible for them to bring money directly."
Lin Mujin said to her cousin Lin, "Brother, don't go to the food truck tomorrow morning. Accompany me to the bank. I have an appointment for a large withdrawal."
Cousin Lin nodded, "I see. Riding a bicycle?"
Lin Mujin immediately said, "Let's take a taxi."
Uncle Lin interjected, "Why ride a bicycle with so much money? Just take a taxi."
Cousin Lin asked again, "There are only seven days in total. How do you want to play?"
The plan changed again.
Lin Mujin actually considered it. "I've been thinking about it this afternoon. I'm thinking of going to Shenzhen first, and then buying plane tickets. If I can afford it, I'll fly directly to Beijing and have fun in Beijing. If there's still time, I'll go to Guangdong. If not, I'll just come back."
Cousin Lin asked, "What if I can't buy a plane ticket?"
Lin Mujin also has a plan B. "I'll stay in Shenzhen for a day, then go to Guangdong, and then to Shanghai. I won't go to Beijing for now. At worst, I can go back to Hong Kong for a few days before leaving."
Cousin Lin smiled and said, "This is because one time is not enough, so we are preparing to combine it multiple times into one."
Lin Mujin spread her hands and said, "There's nothing I can do."
Then he remembered something, "Brother, I need to go to the Game Publishing House first."
Don't forget to sign the contract.
Cousin Lin simply said, "I'll go with you."
Lin Mujin thought to herself, there’s actually no need to accompany this.
But he didn't refuse, "Okay."
Lin Mujin said, "By the way, let's buy the suitcases. Brother, do you want to buy some clothes? Something a little more formal."
Wherever they go, they always respect Luo Yi first and then respect people. The brothers and sisters don't want to put pressure on others, they just want to avoid trouble.
Cousin Lin asked, "Do I need to wear a suit?"
Lin Mujin replied, "You can bring a Zhongshan suit."
Uncle Lin said, "Then we need to go to the tailor shop and get measured. Zhongshan suits are very particular."
Cousin Lin smiled and said, “Go find Tailor Feng. We’ll start the energy tomorrow morning.”
Cousin Lin has decided to go for a body measurement tomorrow morning.
He had to support A-mei, so he had to make the Zhongshan suit.

Lin Mujin brought her cousin Lin to Boyi Publishing House, a six-story commercial and residential building that was even more luxurious than Chengbao.
I told the front desk that I wanted to see Editor Chu, and they went upstairs directly, only telling me that Editor Chu's office was on the third floor.
There was no sincerity in the front desk staff.
"Editor Chu, this is my brother." Lin Mujin briefly introduced the two people and began to read the contract carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, and I couldn’t help but think of my past life.
At that time, she was in Editor Chu's position, but now the positions have been reversed.
"Editor Chu, there's no problem with the contract."
He took out a pen and signed his name, then the two shook hands to signify the successful signing of the contract.
"Ms. Lin, can you sign some pen names after the book is published?" Editor Chu asked with a smile.
Lin Mujin understood and asked directly, "How many copies do you want to sign?"
Editor Chu extended his hand and said, "How about 500 copies?"
Lin Mujin almost rolled her eyes, "Is it really necessary to use so much?"
Her pen name "Zhuang Zhou under the Pen" consists of four characters, and 500 books means 2,000 characters, which takes two hours to sign.
Editor Chu spoke frankly, "It's a gimmick, and it will be easier for bookstores to promote it later."
Lin Mujin thought about it and agreed, "Then I'll come back in seven days?"
Editor Chu quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, come here and sign."
When there is plenty of time, we can sign more.
Several years later, the first work of "Zhuang Zhou's Writing" should have been very collectible, but because the signatures were too common, its rarity was seriously reduced.
Lin Mujin and her cousin Lin went to the mall after leaving the publishing house and bought a large silver suitcase.
"Brother, use this when you go to the bank to withdraw money." Lin Mujin patted the sturdy box. Look! It will be used immediately.
Cousin Lin nodded, "It can hold any amount of money."
Lin Mujin asked again, "Brother, how many days did Tailor Feng say it would take?"
Cousin Lin replied, "He said it could definitely be done in five days."
Lin Mujin thought there was enough time, so she decided not to rush him. Believe it or not, sending him a bowl of oyster omelette could at least save him a day. "Brother, let's go to the bank."
The brother and sister still took the bus.
In the car, Lin Mujin asked her cousin Lin, "Brother, we've finally made this trip, and you don't have anything special you want to buy?"
It would be a waste if I didn't buy anything.
Cousin Lin shook his head. "I can't think of anything right now. I don't have anything in particular I want. I'll tell you when I see it."
Lin Mujin asked mysteriously, "Brother, are you saving money?"
Cousin Lin was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you have enough money?"
Lin Mujin felt warm in her heart. Oh, family members are so good. "It's enough. I can't spend it all in seven days. Brother, are you saving money to buy a house before finding a girlfriend?"
Cousin Lin heard the teasing and reached out to ruffle her hair. "You are so young, don't gossip like those gossipers."
Lin Mujin slapped his big hand away and quickly smoothed her hair, "You big blockhead, how can you understand the joy of gossip (eating melons)!"
