Chapter 2723 2725 [If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know how expensive it is]
In 2007, China was also turbulent, but not peaceful.
But the newspapers in Sweden don’t have many reports on China.
The Jin family can only hear the latest news from China from Liu Shouhua.
For example, in August, the split new party was united again, which was called the confluence of Ning and Han in history;
For example, in September, the Jin army and the Feng army had a firefight;
For example, in December, the warlords of the Guangxi faction and the Cantonese faction fought for power and profit, and finally ended with the victory of the Guangxi faction.
"I thought that the victory of the Northern Expedition would eliminate the warlords and end the civil strife. I didn't expect that the old warlords would be overthrown, and the new warlords would rise up again." After hearing the news, Jin Runzhi said sadly, "Then our sacrifice is counted. on what?"
During the Northern Expedition, she and Li Haoran actively participated in it. Li Haoran charged in the front line, and she waved the flag and shouted in the rear to promote the revolution.
They really thought that after the victory of the Northern Expedition, China would have a unified and stable Xinfu. From then on, there will be no more warlords fighting, and no more oppression by the great powers.
But now it seems that even if the Northern Expedition wins, it will have no effect.
One warlord falls, another rises.
"Sister, don't be sad." Xiang Nan persuaded, "The reason why there are still warlords fighting is because those people are all for their own interests, not for the country, but for the common people.
Don’t worry, there will definitely be forces that represent the common people and the majority of the people. And they will definitely win the support of the people and win the final victory. "
It's a pity that Li Haoran chose the wrong path despite his enthusiasm. He is a leftist of the New Party, but not red. Otherwise, after the founding of the country in the future, a martyr will not run away.
…
From October 2007, Xiang Nan began to trade in the Swedish stock market.
Based on his ability, making money in the stock market is not easy to say, but it is also a sure thing.
So by the end of the year, his principal of one hundred thousand oceans had expanded to one million oceans.
But he didn't tell his family about it.
First, it is because in three months, one hundred thousand oceans earned one million, which is a bit exaggerated, and it is easy to cause trouble if it is said;
Secondly, he hoped that the Jin family would have more sense of urgency. Especially Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen, they must at least be awakened, dare not say that they have to support themselves, at least they must know how to be frugal.
After all, Xiang Nan doesn't want to raise a group of parasites who only know how to eat, drink and play, and are greedy for enjoyment.
So no one said anything about his making money. In addition to going to the stock market, I usually write manuscripts at home, and then submit them to newspapers to earn some manuscript fees.
For example, he is currently serializing the fantasy novel "The Hobbit: Fantastic Adventure" in the "Stockholm Post".
"The Hobbit" is the prequel of the well-known fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings". It tells the story of the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the thirteen dwarves, and the wizard Gandalf going to the old dwarf capital to find treasure.
It was officially written by John Tolkien, a well-known British novelist, in 1930. Therefore, when Xiang Nan wrote in 2027, he would never crash.
Fantasy novels like "The Hobbit" are also very popular with Swedish readers.
Because Norse mythology is popular in Sweden, and races that are common in fantasy novels such as giants, elves, dwarves, dwarves, and dragons are originally derived from Nordic mythology.
Therefore, the acceptance of "The Hobbit" by Swedish readers is very high.
Xiang Nan submitted a manuscript for the first time, and it was successfully accepted. In the end, he accepted the manuscript with a remuneration of 50 SEK for 1,000 words.
At that time, one kroner could be exchanged for 0.4 grams of gold, and fifty kronor was equivalent to 20 grams of gold, which was about 25 yuan. It's actually not too expensive.
After all, Xiang Nan's remuneration in the capital is already ten thousand characters. Sweden, on the other hand, is more prosperous than Beijing, and its commerce is more developed, so the remuneration should be higher.
But because he is still a newcomer, the remuneration seems a little lower. But Xiang Nan believes that as the serialization of "The Hobbit" becomes more and more popular, his remuneration will become higher and higher.
The most expensive remuneration at the time was one dollar per word, or one thousand dollars per word. If you publish a thousand-word article, you can get $1,000, which is 1,750 grams of gold.
At the current price of gold, a 1,000-word essay can sell for 750,000 yuan, which is unimaginable.
…
Xiang Nan still continued to create literature in Sweden, and was able to earn a lot of money for the manuscript, so Jin Quan was naturally very pleased to see it.
On the other hand, Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen are also dignified men. They have been in Sweden for half a year, not to mention writing articles in Swedish, and even their daily conversations are still stumbling.
So much so that they have been in Sweden for half a year, and they almost dare not even go out, let alone go out to socialize or find a job. Boring at home all day, eating and waiting to die, is simply **** off.
"Look at Yanxi, and look at yourselves, what you look like. After all, you have educated and done things, how can you be so helpless." Jin Quan looked at the three sons, hating iron and steel.
Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen also felt guilty and blamed themselves.
It's just that the three of them are used to it. When I was a child, I was loved by my family, I opened my mouth when I came to eat, and stretched out my hands when I came to clothes. After growing up, Jin Quan arranged for him to work directly in an agency.
Because their father is a high-ranking official, they are naturally at ease in the office. As Jin Hesun said, when he usually goes to work, he just drinks tea and reads newspapers.
Eat a big meal, watch a big show, go shopping in the alleys, and there are always a group of people around you... Such a leisurely and leisurely life, it is easy to raise people.
Now let alone let them stand on their own feet, it is hard to know how difficult it is just to quit being lazy.
It’s like those banner people in the late Qing Dynasty, because they have never done anything in their lives. Once the Qing Dynasty collapsed, they immediately lost their livelihoods, and could only **** and **** their family properties until they were all lost and became beggars, dying of hunger and cold.
Thus, although Jin Quan told Fengju, Hesun, and Pengzhen that they had the intention of repenting, they still couldn't get rid of their lazy, lazy and lazy style.
It was only exciting at the time, but it quickly reverted to its old ways. Let Jin Quan see it in his eyes and hate him in his heart.
After Xiang Nan learned about this, he went to Jin Quan to discuss, "Father, the reason why the elder brother, the second brother, and the third brother did not improve is mainly because you are the head of the family, and you have to worry about everything, so they are naturally happy to let go.
The so-called not being in charge of the family does not know how expensive it is, it is better to simply separate the family and let them go out independently. At that time, they will know how to support the family. "
Jin Quan thought about it, and he also thought it made sense.
