Chapter 253 I have confidence in Cheng Xuyuan
The story of exchanging houses for copyrights is becoming more and more popular.
Although it wasn't reported in the newspapers, it seemed like everyone knew about it all of a sudden.
Cheng Xuyuan even received a call from Mr. Wan, who specifically asked him to confirm the authenticity of the matter. However, after hearing Cheng Xuyuan's introduction of the situation, Mr. Wan did not say anything.
Just let him do what he wants.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't take it too seriously to exchange the copyright of "Things About the Ming Dynasty" for a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment.
After all, he didn't want to change.
He is still willing to buy it with money.
You can earn money again after you spend it, but copyright is gone once you give it to others.
However, what Cheng Xuyuan did not expect was that Li Xuezhen, who had originally agreed to talk again three days later, came to his house with Qin Wenhui the next day.
Qin Wenhui's expression was even more serious at this time, and he even brought a helper with him.
It’s not that he can’t do it himself, but he realizes that it’s a serious matter and wants to pull an outsider in to avoid suspicion.
After all, his relationship with his brother-in-law Cheng Xuyuan seemed to have been confirmed.
If someone says that he cheated in this deal, he will never be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River, so he has to bring in an assistant to testify for him.
The next day after the news spread, Manager Wang called him over to ask about the whole story.
Manager Wang did not comment on who was right or wrong in this matter, but asked Qin Wenhui to handle this matter well and not make any mistakes.
Although Manager Wang didn't say anything else, Qin Wenhui knew that since Manager Wang was paying attention to this matter, he couldn't make any mistakes.
So even though he came, he remained silent after greeting Cheng Xuyuan.
"Mr. Cheng, I went back and thought about your conditions yesterday."
Li Xuezhen said: "You haven't finished writing "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty" yet, and I looked through the history of the Ming Dynasty and found that you have only just written about the Jingnan Rebellion."
"If you continue at this pace, you may not be able to finish it in three years."
“So, I feel it’s too bad to only give me the copyright in Nanyang for three years.”
After listening to Li Xuezhen's words, Cheng Xuyuan knew that she must have had an idea.
Cheng Xuyuan was not too anxious about this matter.
In fact, he still hopes to spend money to buy a house. Although this will put him in debt, he is really not afraid of being in debt.
In just two or three months, the royalties from the Evening News would be enough for him to pay off the debt.
"Ms. Li, if you feel that you are at a disadvantage, I can buy your house at the market price."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I am still very sincere about this."
Li Xuezhen said: "Mr. Cheng, I believe you are sincere, and I also believe that you have the ability."
"But I still hope we can get this deal done."
At this point, Li Xuezhen said: "Please believe in my sincerity."
Cheng Xuyuan said nothing, waiting for Li Xuezhen to continue.
Li Xuezhen did not hesitate and continued, "Mr. Cheng, three years is too short. I hope it will be five years."
“And the scope of Nanyang is a bit narrow.”
"Look, can we add Hong Kong and other places as well?"
As a person working for a foreign trade company, Qin Wenhui was very familiar with maps. After hearing what Li Xuezhen said, he felt that Li Xuezhen had made a lot of concessions.
After a brief hesitation, Cheng Xuyuan said, "I can agree to five years, but the scope cannot be changed."
"After all, my book, Stories about the Ming Dynasty, is currently being serialized in Jinwanbao."
"Once the serialization is finished, I believe the publishing issue will be discussed."
"So, there is no way I would give up a large amount of income for a house."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said: "Although I have my eyes on the house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment."
"But I don't necessarily have to buy yours. I'm sure there will be other people selling houses."
Although Li Xuezhen didn't like what Cheng Xuyuan said, she knew that Cheng Xuyuan was telling the truth.
It is true that she was not the only one selling the more than 40 houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartment, and Cheng Xuyuan also offered a very good price.
If you can accept it, others will accept it too.
After thinking it over in her mind, Li Xuezhen said, "Mr. Cheng, I know you are telling the truth."
"That's it, five years."
"I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Mr. Cheng."
Qin Wenhui and the assistant beside him couldn't help but look at each other quickly.
Although they all thought the deal might be possible when Li Xuezhen approached them, they did not expect that Li Xuezhen would make such a big concession.
Agreed! The copyright period is only five years, and it is limited to Nanyang.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Li Xuezhen who was extending her hand to him, and he also extended his hand to shake it, saying, "Ms. Li, it's a pleasure to work with you."
As the two people held hands together, the matter was considered settled.
Next, it is a matter of handling the formalities, which should be the job of Qin Wenhui and his assistant. With two people helping, things will go very smoothly.
Cheng Xuyuan was somewhat happy about exchanging the five-year copyright of "Things about the Ming Dynasty" for a house.
Originally, he planned to use all the money he had saved to buy a house.
Now once this contract is signed, it means that his savings of 8,000 yuan will remain and he will get a house for free.
After the date for signing the agreement was confirmed, Li Xuezhen did not leave, but asked Cheng Xuyuan several questions about "Things about the Ming Dynasty".
It was obvious that she really liked this book.
Although Qin Wenhui really wanted to celebrate the agreement with Cheng Xuyuan, he came here with Li Xuezhen after all.
So when Li Xuezhen was about to leave, he also accompanied her.
They were still driving the black car. After turning on the air conditioner, Qin Wenhui couldn't help but ask Li Xuezhen, "Ms. Li, you agreed to Cheng Xuyuan's conditions so readily. Aren't you worried that you won't be able to recover your costs?"
Li Xuezhen glanced at Qin Wenhui and said, "Thank you, Manager Qin, for your concern."
“I have confidence in my vision.”
"I have more confidence in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty."
"I have more confidence in Cheng Xuyuan!"
"I believe that as long as I publish this book here, even if I don't make a lot of money in five years, at least I will not lose money."
Looking at the confident Li Xuezhen, Qin Wenhui stopped talking.
However, in his heart, he now felt a little more envy and admiration for Cheng Xuyuan.
What he envied, of course, was that Cheng Xuyuan had picked up a house for free.
What is admirable is that Cheng Xuyuan was able to resist the temptation and firmly decided to only grant the copyright for five years, and that was in a limited area.
If it were me, I would never be able to do this.
After seeing Li Xuezhen off, Qin Wenhui went to Manager Wang to report what happened today. Manager Wang nodded and said, "You did a good job on this matter."
"Wenhui, this is a good thing."
"Keep working hard, I'm counting on you!"
"By the way, we need to strengthen our contact with Cheng Xuyuan. Who knows, we might need his help in the future!"
After coming out of Manager Wang's office, Qin Wenhui called Fang Yuning and told her about this matter.
Fang Yuning asked incredulously: "You said this matter, did it really happen?"
"So...did Li Xuezhen really agree to Cheng Xuyuan's request?"
Qin Wenhui said: "Yes, apart from extending the term by two years, Li Xuezhen's other conditions are in accordance with Cheng Xuyuan's requirements."
"We have already contacted the relevant parties. As long as both parties agree, the house formalities can be completed tomorrow."
Fang Yuning said: "If my sister and Cheng Xuyuan really get together, they will live in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. It's really enviable."
"When can you move to a house like this?"
Hearing his wife's words, Qin Wenhui said helplessly: "In this respect, Cheng Xuyuan and I really can't compare."
"Who is Cheng Xuyuan? There is a huge gap between him and me."
Fang Yuning seemed to feel that her request was a bit too difficult for Qin Wenhui, so she smiled and said, "Okay, it's not your fault."
"After all, there are only a few geniuses like Cheng Xuyuan in the whole of Yanjing."
After hearing this consolation, Qin Wenhui felt a little relieved, but he also felt more touched.
After seeing Li Xuezhen off, Cheng Xuyuan's eyes fell on the house where he had lived for nearly a year.
The house is a bit simple and is still very stuffy, but it is Cheng Xu's first home in Yanjing.
To use the toilet here, you have to go to the sides of the building, and to get water, you have to go to the faucet. Moreover, there are all kinds of noises here almost all the time, such as children fighting, adults quarreling, and...
Although these sounds sometimes interrupt Cheng Xuyuan's thoughts, their existence also adds a lot of fun to Cheng Xuyuan's life.
I feel a little reluctant to leave here!
As he was touched, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly thought, if he moved to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, what would he do with this place? Would it be empty? Cheng Xuyuan believed that he would rarely come back to live here in the future.
There is not even any chance at all, so it's a pity to leave this place empty.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly realized that this room was applied for in the name of both him and Shen Yumo.
And Shen Yunliang also contributed to the application for this house.
It can be said that without the Shen family, there would be no such house.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Cheng Xuyuan made a decision.
Since he and Shen Yumo have decided to divorce, he might as well return the house to Shen Yumo.
Although Shen Yumo has enough place to live, she has half ownership of this place after all.
After making up his mind, Cheng Xuyuan did not contact Shen Yumo immediately. He planned to give the house to Shen Yumo after he moved.
Of course Shen Yumo didn't know what Cheng Xuyuan was planning. At this moment, she was flipping through a sample of the latest issue of "Yanjing Literature and Art".
When Shen Yumo opened the beautifully printed pages, the first thing that caught his eye was Xu Lingyun's "Our College Entrance Examination".
Although he was already familiar with this article, Shen Yumo was still filled with emotion when he saw the title.
She believed that with the release of this issue of "Yenching Literature and Art", more and more people would know Xu Lingyun's name.
I just don't know how much more it can be.
