Chapter 23 Want to touch and withdraw hand
After such a dinner, the author's status was greatly improved. A Yue laughed at his boss for having many partners in one meal. If it weren't for the special situation in the Ming Dynasty, the author and publishing company's status would definitely not have been changed like this.
However, it was just before the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, for the author, the work pressure and motivation were more for working for himself. Otherwise, with authors like Miwu and Du Xiao, they would just publish a book a year and attend some ceremonies, and they would have enough money to spend. About 9 months a year were pure holidays. But now, for their own profits, they also had to fight for it.
Moreover, to be honest, if we invest in a publishing company together, it is ultimately because we can limit less and interfere less in the future, at least the problems caused by unnecessary professional negligence. If we really hope to cash out after financing and listing in the future? Please, investors are not stupid. It is clear that the core assets of a publishing company are these authors, especially those with equity binding. How to cash out if they don’t bind for a few years? If you want to talk about dividends every year, you will see a ghost. Can a publishing company’s annual profit be 20% of the valuation? Even if there is really a profit of 60 million, in addition to the company’s retention, you will only pay up to 30 million yuan. 5% is only 1.5 million, and you still have to pay taxes. It is better to write more books every year than writing more books every year, and maybe you can earn more.
A book is not a light novel, and the lower limit of a standard long article is 100,000 words. (Of course, there is no lower limit now, and there are many people who have published a novella of 40,000 to 50,000 words.) An efficient author can finish it in one month.
In any case, the information at the dinner seems to be enough to make everyone excited for a long time, and then, spend a lot of time and energy to experience various interesting or helpless things with a company.
But for Yue Qingyan, there are other troubles besides this: Moore Sheng.
Moersheng's performance at the dining table is probably both rational and emotional. The plan she proposed is almost the best conditions that Yue Qingyan can get from the Ming Dynasty. If he carefully calculates it, of course everyone has his own logic and priority. But for Yue Qingyan, he has obtained a publishing company and has a clear development route, excellent business conditions, good author relationships, very good reputations, and rich social relations. Is the shares of a publishing company with attractiveness? Of course, there is. But when he has to save enough money, he really doesn't know when. If Lianxingjie had not reorganized now, he would release such news at once and talk to him separately, especially a few years later, when Lianxingjie had no business or investment problems, there was no possibility of this. And Moersheng seemed to have realized this problem, and he settled the matter on the table, taking advantage of Lianxingjie's excitement.
Even if Lian Xingjie felt it was not worth it and wanted to go back on his word, he would not be able to do such a thing. Moreover, if he calculated what he paid, the royalties other than 6% would be more than three years. If Yue Qingyan could really take over the shares of Mingqian Company with this money within three years, he would be a best-selling author in the circle. How much he earned depends on whether he could have the motivation. If the 6% royalties were not enough for him to spend in the past few years? To be honest, other income would not be enough. This is purely a matter of consumption concept.
So, when dealing with this problem, Yue Qingyan felt that Mooresheng might not have any emotional changes in the short term. Do she admire or like her feelings for herself? Or do she like them more?... Yue Qingyan didn't know all of these. But what she said to Xu Yingying before was really what he thought.
He first sent Moore back to the dormitory, and then Yue Qingyan rushed to the far distance to continue home. When he got home, it was less than 1 a.m. However, Yue Qingyan felt that his mind was still very clear and keen.
After he arrived home, he still sent a message to Mooresheng as agreed: "I'm here, don't worry. You go to bed early."
Then, Yue Qingyan turned on the computer and was stunned at it.
He really has to start writing long stories soon. But the current requirement given by Faust is to write a love story that is not together. This theme is not suitable for writing long stories, and Yue Qingyan doesn't like to make such stories very long and complicated. He racked his brains, and finally decided to digest this requirement in a short story as soon as possible, and then see if the next proposition is suitable for long stories and how to deal with it.
So, at this time, he wanted to write a short story for Mooresheng, a story that was very consistent with his current state of mind.
It is probably a bit negative and back, but the faint meaning of keeping distance should be conveyed.
With the urge to write it out again, Yue Qingyan felt this way when his hand touched the keyboard. A short story is often the product of this strong impulse.
He wrote the first paragraph of the whole novel in almost 5 minutes:
"Justin Hoganschrager, a printing worker with a weekly salary of $30, has about 60 strange women passing by him every day. From this calculation, in the years when Hoganschrager lived in New York, there were about 75,120 different women passing by. Among these 75,120 women, about 25,000 were between 15 and 30 years old. Among these 25,000 were only 5,000 weighed between 105 and 125 pounds. Among these 5,000 were still apt to grow. Only 500 were charming; only 100 were quite charming; only 25 could bring a long and slow whistle. But only one made Hoganschrager fall in love at first sight."
This beginning, which seems a bit messy because of the accumulation of many numbers, undoubtedly captures the reader's attention, but when writing, it only aims to elicit the last sentence in a relatively strong way. Then, those beautiful sentences are naturally connected.
"I fell in love with your lips slightly opened. You have revealed the answer to everything for me. Since I came to New York four years ago, I have never been unhappy, but I have never been happy. Speaking of which, I am no different from the thousands of young people in New York, I am just alive."
The whole story is basically a low-level niece fell in love with a girl, and even stole her wallet in order to know her identity and attract her attention. Niece was sentenced and wrote a letter to the girl in prison, and received a reply. Then Niece fantasized about writing a second letter to the girl and receiving a reply. The whole story is full of a tone called "Impossible".
"Love you is the only thing that matters to me, Miss Leicester. Some people think love is sex, marriage is six in the morning kiss is a bunch of kids, maybe that's true, Miss Leicester. But do you know what I think? I think love is trying to touch and then take back my hand."
"I think it's important for a woman to marry a man who seems rich, handsome, smart or popular outsider. I can't even talk about being popular. No one even hates me. I'm just-I'm just-Justin Hoganschrag. I never make people feel happy, sad, angry, even bored. I think people think I'm a good person, that's all."
It took less than two hours to finish writing this story. The name of this story is "The Heart of Broken Stories". (The original work is Salinger, an author who is good at writing pretentious plots and beautiful sentences.)
After the last stop, Yue Qingyan looked at it from beginning to end. He didn't smoke and had no alcohol in his residence, which made him not know how to relieve that faint sadness for a moment. For any author, feelings are one of the most important driving forces. However, some feelings can be loaded, some cannot. He doesn't know how to distinguish them, but he knows that the process of interaction between him and Mooresheng is too simple, too few, and too shallow.
Mooresheng's emotions of admiration and awe are not the basis of normal emotional foundation at all.
At around 2 a.m., Yue Qingyan threw the novel document in the dialog box and sent it to Moersheng on WeChat. At the same time, he also sent the document to A Yue, Du Xiao, Mi Wu and others.
Another new short story has been written. It’s time to extract skills and items again. I silently recited in my heart, Yue Qingyan pulled out the exquisite folder containing the print paper from the computer screen and opened it to take a look.
Skills: Visional weight measurement
Source Character: Justin Hoganschrager
Note: Through continuous visual observation of female characters, their weight data is obtained. The test accuracy depends on the length of visual time. The ratio of accuracy to time is as follows: 3 seconds of visual, the accuracy reaches 10 kg level; 5 seconds of visual, the accuracy reaches 0.1 kg level; 9 seconds of visual, the accuracy reaches 10 grams level; 11 seconds of visual, the accuracy reaches 0.1 kg level; 13 seconds of visual, the accuracy reaches 0.1 gram level. By repeatedly using this skill, the skill level can be improved. For each level of improvement, the visual time of each accuracy is reduced by 1 second. Vision is equally effective for the real entity of female characters and image outputs such as photos.
WHAT FK? This is Yue Qingyan’s first reaction after reading the skill description... Is this skill useful?
However, I wrote such a cheating novel, and even the characters with such a short and small space, I can guess that there will be no fun skills. But how to say this skill... Well, when you say the girl's weight without any obstacles, it will be considered an abnormal, right?
What surprised Yue Qingyan even more was that there was another small card in the folder.
"The additional tasks are completed very well. Attach the items obtained with the letter."
Sure enough, there was a yellow envelope in the folder with $30 in cash. What he received was the protagonist's weekly salary.
Chapter completed!
