Chapter 301 What is a Rich Son-in-Law?
Qin Wenhui hesitated for a moment in response to Cheng Xuyuan's question and said, "Xuyuan, I really didn't pay much attention to what you said."
Cheng Xuyuan was not surprised by Qin Wenhui's answer.
After all, Qin Wenhui and his team went there with their own mission, and it was actually very normal for them not to focus on their own work.
But before he could open his mouth, Fang Yuning complained, "What did you do in the past? You didn't even bother to care about Xu Yuan's affairs."
Since they grew up together, Qin Wenhui has always been very accommodating to Fang Yuning.
He was not angry when he was rebuked. Instead, he smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention. I will pay attention next time."
At this point, he suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, when I met Mr. Cha, he seemed to have said that your book "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty" was selling very well."
“Almost 30,000 units have been sold.”
Thirty thousand copies! A month ago, Ming Pao sent a telegram to Cheng Xuyuan, telling him that the Ming Dynasty Stories, which had already been published, had been divided into four volumes.
The price of each copy is HK$21.
If calculated at this price, then one set would be 84 yuan, and 30,000 sets would be...
When Cheng Xuyuan calculated the price, a smile appeared on his face.
"Xuyuan, did Ming Pao say how they would pay the manuscript fee?" Fang Yuning asked curiously.
Now Cheng Xuyuan gets more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties from Hong Kong every month. This makes her envious and she pays more attention to Cheng Xuyuan's other royalties.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "From Ming Pao, I was paid for the publication."
"They give me 20 percent of the royalties."
Edition fee!
Neither Fang Yuning nor Qin Wenhui were very clear about this statement, but Meng Fanjin said, "Giving 20% of the copyright fee is a lot."
As she spoke, she suddenly realized something and said, "Xuyuan, what is the price of your book in Hong Kong?"
"It's 21 Hong Kong dollars a copy." Cheng Xuyuan said, "Now a set contains four books."
"That is to say, a total of 120,000 copies were sold. If they were sold at 21 dollars per copy, the total sales would be 2.52 million Hong Kong dollars."
Qin Wenhui took out a thin calculator from his pocket and said as he calculated.
The small calculator in his hand was bought in Hong Kong and he always carries it with him.
Cheng Xuyuan's book actually helped Ming Pao earn so much money.
This…this…
No wonder Mr. Cha was so nice to Cheng Xuyuan. He cared about Cheng Xuyuan's situation whenever he saw him.
"Xuyuan, your 20% royalty wouldn't be this number multiplied by 20%, right?" His voice trembled a little when he said this.
Although he hadn't multiplied it yet, this number was too astonishing, too...
So, Qin Wenhui's voice changed.
In fact, everyone in the Fang family was shocked at this moment.
It’s not that they haven’t seen money before, but this number is too big.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "It's calculated like this."
"Calculated this way, that's multiplying by 0.2, which... is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars." Qin Wenhui said tremblingly as he looked at the numbers on his calculator.
Since Cheng Xuyuan's rebirth, his mental computing ability has improved a lot.
He could do this kind of calculation in his mind faster than Qin Wenhui.
"It should be like this." Cheng Xuyuan responded indifferently.
Five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars! Five hundred thousand!
This was when the average wage was only 50 or 60 yuan, and you had 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
You make money too fast.
Even Meng Fanjin, who no longer cared about material life, was staring at Cheng Xuyuan in a daze.
Because it’s just too much.
This number is enough to scare you!
Cheng Xuyuan made too much money from this book.
"Xuyuan, is there really 500,000?" Meng Fanjin, who was the first to wake up, asked Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan said calmly: "If Mr. Cha doesn't default on his debt, it should be half a million this month."
"Five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, if converted into overseas remittance vouchers, that would be one hundred and seventy thousand!"
"Xuyuan, your money...your money is a bit too eye-catching."
These words were said by Meng Fanjin.
She loved her future son-in-law very much from the bottom of her heart because he was so outstanding.
But there is a saying that goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
Cheng Xuyuan's royalties are already enviable.
Now, this...
Although her home can provide shelter for Cheng Xuyuan, Meng Fanjin also does not want her son-in-law to be in such a dangerous environment.
"Mom, Xuyuan earned this money with his own ability."
"He doesn't steal or rob, so whoever is jealous can go and earn it."
"What's so scary?" Fang Yuqing, who was standing aside, said angrily.
Fang Yuning said, "Yuqing, things are not what you think."
"Some people have no ability, but they are very jealous of others. They are born to be jealous of others' talents."
"They can't accomplish anything, but they are very capable of doing bad things."
"So, Xuyuan, you'd better be careful about this matter."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the serious-looking Fang family members, thought silently for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt Meng, you don't have to worry too much about this matter."
"I think our attitude towards money will become more and more relaxed in the future."
"If you are really worried, I can ask Mr. Cha to help me save the money in Hong Kong or invest it."
"Just don't take it back."
Meng Fanjin felt a little relieved after hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said.
Anyway, this is a solution.
Just as everyone was talking, Fang Gengsheng walked in.
Although he was exhausted from the journey, he was very happy to see his children and family members gathered together.
But when he looked at everyone carefully, he found that everyone had a frown on their face.
Thinking something had happened, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Yuqing was worried about Cheng Xuyuan. At this time, her father came back and she quickly told her father what everyone had said.
Fang Gengsheng was a man who had seen the world, but he was also shocked when he heard what his daughter said.
He never thought that Cheng Xuyuan would earn so much money this time.
It’s only been on sale for a month, and the book isn’t even finished yet.
In other words, Cheng Xuyuan will be able to make money in this area in the future.
It's so easy to make money.
After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Just as Xuyuan said, our attitude towards money will become more and more relaxed in the future."
"So, it's not a big deal."
"But what Xuyuan said is right. We can ask Mr. Cha to help store it for the time being, or we can buy it directly."
"Okay, let's get ready to eat."
As Fang Gengsheng was talking, he went back to the bedroom to change clothes. As soon as he walked into the room, Meng Fanjin followed him in and said, "I never thought that our family would have to worry about having too much money!"
"People always say a rich son-in-law makes a rich son-in-law. It looks like this bad boy Cheng Xuyuan is really going to be our rich son-in-law!" Fang Gengsheng said with emotion while changing his clothes.
