"Tiankuo, what are you worried about?" Ling Xiangqian asked curiously, "What happened?"
Xiang Nan sighed and stated his concerns.
After hearing this, Ling Xiangqian felt dumbfounded.
In order to publish books, cultural companies came to the school to ask for Xiang Nan. If it had been anyone else, Le Le would have gone crazy. Xiang Nan had a sad look on his face, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
It’s really hard to know how blessed you are when you’re in the midst of blessings, and you don’t know what to say.
"What's there to worry about? What if you just sell the copyright to them?" She asked in confusion, "Shouldn't this be a good thing?"
"It is indeed a good thing, but the timing is not right." Xiang Nan waved his hand and then expressed his concerns.
After listening, Ling Xiangqian nodded.
Although she couldn't fully empathize with him, she could understand Xiang Nan's concerns.
The son suddenly became a well-known writer and received a windfall of millions in royalties. This would indeed be a huge shock to his parents.
If you can accept it with a peaceful mind, it's okay. If your mind is unbalanced, it may lead to big troubles.
As written in "The Scholars", Fan Jin went crazy after learning that he had won the imperial examination. After his mother moved into her new home, she was so excited that she learned that such a big house, so much money, and such a beautiful maid belonged to her son.
Or, like her father, he can respect his wife and love his daughter even when his official position is not prominent. Once he became rich, he would mess around outside and quarrel with his wife when he came home, not caring about his daughter's opinion at all.
Therefore, Xiang Nan is right to worry. Knowing that my parents are greedy for money, I don't want to tell them about my money-making, so as not to arouse their endless greed.
It’s just that I’m afraid I can’t hide this matter now.
"Tiankuo, what are you going to do next?" Ling Xiangqian asked with concern.
"I guess I can't hide this matter anymore." Xiang Nan sighed, "Since we are going to publish it anyway, we have to choose a reliable publishing house. I will never consider a cultural company like this. .
Moreover, I want to keep the money I earn and will not give it to my parents. If they didn't allow it, I might run away from home or even drop out of school. "
"Well, it doesn't matter even if you drop out of school. Anyway, you have already been admitted to Peking University." Ling Xiangqian smiled.
Xiang Nan nodded.
In fact, with his current savings and his strength, it is not difficult to support himself, and it is also easy to make a fortune.
He just didn't want to make the relationship so tense and end up being enemies that never interacted with each other until death.
After all, although Chu Tiankuo despised his philistine and vulgar parents, he actually loved them very much.
…
In the next few days, cultural companies and publishing houses approached Xiang Nan one after another.
Some of them visited the school, some came to visit the home, and some even stopped them directly at the school gate...
After being tossed around like this by them, Xiang Nan's writing of the book was naturally quickly exposed.
When people learned that the two popular books "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" were both written by Xiang Nan, many people were so shocked that their jaws were dislocated.
"Isn't it possible? Isn't he a master of science? When did he learn to write?"
"It's really unexpected that "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and "Tomb Raider Notes" were written by him!
"These two books are really popular. If you want to rent them, you have to make a reservation in advance, and they will not wait until they are overdue."
"It's really shocking that two such popular movies were written by our classmates!"
The classmates all talked about it.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Xiang Nan had no choice but to reveal the details to his parents.
When they learned that their son had been writing secretly for the past year and had earned nearly 100,000 yuan, Chu Guoqiang and He Yufen were both a little confused.
"Tiantian, you..." He Yufen pointed at her son, not knowing what to say.
Are you scolding him for not doing his job properly, but he has been recommended to Peking University, and he has also won gold medals and special awards at the International Olympiad, and he has been ranked first in his grade all year round. It can be said that when it comes to studying and working, he is already more dedicated than most high school students in the country.
Are you scolding him for not knowing how to make progress, but he made one hundred thousand in one year, which is more than the two of them have made in their entire lives. And he will publish a book soon, and it is said that he can earn several million. This doesn't mean that you don't know how to make progress, this is too much.
"You have done so many things, why didn't you tell your parents?" Chu Guoqiang finally thought of something wrong and scolded him.
Their son has done so many things that even their parents don't know. They didn't know until the cultural company came to visit. It was really hard to hide it from them.
"Are you afraid that your parents will ask you for money?" He Yufen asked again.
"Of course not. I also want to reduce the burden on my family when I make money. How can I be afraid that you will ask me for money?" Xiang Nan quickly waved his hands and said, "It's just that I'm still a student, and I'm not doing my job properly when I write. I'm afraid you will say that I'm neglecting my studies and affecting my work." results, so I did it quietly, and I was afraid that you would know."
"Yeah." After hearing his explanation, Chu Guoqiang and He Yufen looked at each other and felt that it made sense.
"Then...son, what are you going to do next?" Chu Guoqiang asked again.
"Now that you all know, I won't hide it from you." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I plan to cooperate with People's Literature Publishing House to publish all my writings.
When the time comes, the money I earn will buy a house for my family and open a big market for you..."
Hearing what he said, Chu Guoqiang and He Yufen were very happy.
When my son grows up, he knows how to honor them.
"What about the remaining money?" Chu Guoqiang asked again with concern.
Xiang Nan heard his question, thought about it and said, "I want to use the remaining money to buy a house in the capital. Because I will settle there in the future, and the sooner I buy the house, the cheaper it will be.
Moreover, the appreciation potential of houses in Beijing is also great. Maybe in the few years I go to college, my salary will increase by several percent. By then, a house bought for one or two million may increase in value by hundreds of thousands. "
Hearing what he said, Chu Guoqiang and He Yufen both nodded.
They are actually very worried that their son will spend it randomly when he has money. But after hearing about their son's plan, they felt that his son was quite reliable.
Buying a house or shopping mall is a good way of spending money.
Seeing that they had no objection, Xiang Nan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What he was most worried about was that Chu Guoqiang and He Yufen took his money under the guise that he was still a child.
In that case, there is almost no other way out except falling out.
It is impossible for him to give them all the millions he has earned. After all, if so much money is given to them, trouble is likely to occur.
If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster; if people are not worthy of wealth, there will be losses.
Chu Tiankuo's parents were philistines, vulgar, and had very poor moral character. They would quarrel over a few cents of profit.
If you hand over millions to them, it will be like throwing a grenade to a naughty child, destined to hurt others and yourself.
It is often reported in the news that those who became rich due to demolition soon fell into depravity after taking the money, eating, drinking, gambling, and contracting all kinds of bad habits. In the end, not only was the wealth lost, but the people were also ruined.
Xiang Nan didn't want this kind of tragedy to happen to his family.
Therefore, the current property distribution plan is already very good.
