In July, the second year of high school has summer vacation.
"The Incident of Young Cha Biliang Injuring People" written by Xiang Nan was also officially released.
In order to facilitate publicity and marketing, Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House specially published Xiang Nan's information.
At that time, the media was particularly popular in creating this kind of young writers, such as Han Han, Guo Jingming, Sun Rui, Li Shasha, Zhang Yueran, etc.
On the one hand, the literary world at that time was relatively rigid, so the relevant parties launched the "New Concept Essay Contest" in order to discover new talents and bring new vitality to the rigid literary world;
On the one hand, physical books have been declining since the 1990s, and publishers are also looking for new directions. Keep testing the waters and trying to find new business opportunities.
Therefore, such young talents and talented women are more popular.
Xiang Nan happens to be a sophomore in high school, just seventeen years old. He is handsome, has good grades, and his writing skills are sophisticated, so he is naturally worthy of bragging.
Soon, with the promotion of Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, major newspapers began to report the story of "young writer Chen Xun". Then newspaper interviews, TV reports, on-site autograph signings...all kinds of activities came one after another.
That kind of overwhelming momentum made Xiang Nan quickly become a household name, known to women and children, and a young talent who became famous all over the country.
"Damn it, Chen Xun, did you know you were on TV?" Zhao Ye called Xiang Nan.
"Chen Xun, is it really you who was published in the newspaper?" Qiao Ran also called Xiang Nan.
"Chen Xun, you are really famous now. Even my mother knows your name and asked me if you were my classmate." Lin Jiamo said excitedly.
"Chen Xun, you are so awesome. I can see you everywhere now~" Fang Hui also called Xiang Nandao.
Many students, even those from junior high school and elementary school, called to express their surprise.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was also well-informed and was not dazzled by this sudden honor. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would probably have gotten carried away and forgotten about it.
In addition to participating in various activities arranged by the publishing house, he usually stays at home coding.
"The Injurious Incident of Young Cha Biliang" is just the first one. He is now writing "Sadness Turns into a River", which is also a youth pain literature.
Because now the people who are willing to buy physical books are young people, and they have the highest spending power. Only by catching them can books be sold.
…
As Xiang Nan's popularity rises, the sales of "The Incident of Young Chap Liang Injuring People" are also rising.
Xiang Nan's most optimistic estimate before was that if the book sold 70,000 to 80,000 copies, it would be good for him to earn 20,000 to 300,000 yuan in royalties.
But unexpectedly, under the operation of Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, this book eventually sold more than 1.5 million copies. This alone earned the Chen family more than three million yuan.
Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua were almost crazy with joy.
They never expected that their son's would sell so well, allowing them to break through the working class and join a wealthy family.
"Oh my, son, you are so capable." Chen Jianjun smiled.
Zhang Xiaohua regretted being too strict with his son before, "Son, whatever you want to eat, mom will make it for you."
"Mom, Dad, what should we do with this money?" Xiang Nan said solemnly.
"Of course I saved it. With so much money in the bank, the interest would be tens of thousands a year." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Yes, even though I have money, I can't spend it recklessly. But wife, can you let me buy a car and drive it?" Chen Jianjun said with a smile.
"No. Only your section chief level is qualified to ride in a car. You are a deputy section officer. Whatever car you buy, you will be fooled." Zhang Xiaohua flatly refused.
"Dad, Mom, in my opinion, saving money and buying a car are not as good as buying a house." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Money is becoming less and less valuable now. Ten years ago, a pound of rice cost 50 cents, but now a pound of rice costs one yuan."
In the equivalent of ten years, the currency depreciated by half. And how much is the total interest for ten years? Is it enough to make up for it? Our country has now entered the customs. In the future, the economic growth will be faster and faster, and money will become less and less valuable.
Maybe ten years from now, a pound of rice will cost ten yuan. Therefore, we must not save money. The interest earned by saving money is simply not worth the loss of currency depreciation.
Neither can buying a car. Cars are consumables and you will lose money if you buy them. Houses are investment products. In recent years, more and more people have come to the capital to work, and house prices have become more and more expensive.
If you buy a few more sets now and save them, you will definitely be able to sell them at a higher price in the future. It’s definitely more suitable than buying a car, what do you think? "
Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua looked at each other and shook their heads, "Okay, why are you kids getting involved in these things? Go study hard."
In their view, housing prices in Beijing are already high enough. Nowadays, people are saying that they can no longer afford it, but they still invest in buying a house. If they can't sell it in the future, won't they lose it all?
Seeing that they were so disobedient, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
There is a very famous theory in economics that people cannot make money beyond their cognition.
This is the case for Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua. They did not have the foresight to foresee that housing prices would soar in the future, so even if he reminded them, they would not take it seriously.
Xiang Nan could only express regret for this.
Fortunately, even if he didn't invest in a house, Xiang Nan wouldn't be able to make enough money, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore.
…
After the summer vacation, Xiang Nan returned to Experimental Middle School.
"I'll go, Chen Xun, why don't you come back to school~ I thought you would be a family member from now on."
"Chen Xun, that guy named Han Han dropped out of school. Do you also have this plan?"
"Chen Xun, I saw you on TV. Don't tell me, you are really photogenic."
When the classmates saw him, they all joked.
Xiang Nan was used to being the center of attention for a long time. He was not flattered by this and was at a loss. Instead, he chatted freely with his classmates and even made an appointment to treat everyone to an iced Coke at noon.
In the middle of the excitement, Fang Hui walked into the classroom.
When he saw Xiang Nan, his face immediately turned red.
During the summer vacation, because Xiang Nan was so famous, they didn't dare to be together. They could only express their love for each other over the phone.
So it’s natural to be particularly happy to see you again now.
But before they could finish their flirting, a teacher walked into the classroom with a serious expression, and then hung a sign next to the blackboard that said "309 days until the college entrance examination."
Everyone couldn't help but look stern when they saw that sign.
"Okay, my surname is Dai, and I am your class teacher." The teacher looked at the students in the audience with a cold face and said, "I don't like to be long-winded, so I won't say any more.
In my senior year of high school, everything must be compromised for the college entrance examination. I don’t care what hobbies you had before, give them all up. Especially boys and girls, absolutely cannot fall in love.
Once you are discovered by me, don't blame me for being rude. Once discovered, go home immediately. Do you understand? "
"I understand." The students responded sparsely.
Fang Hui also looked back at Xiang Nan with a pale face.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and shook his head at her.
