In July, the second year of high school is on summer vacation.
Xiang Nan's "Junior Cha Biliang's Injury Incident" was also officially released.
In order to facilitate publicity and marketing, Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House specially published Xiang Nan's information.
Back then, it was very popular in the media to create 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 was relatively rigid back then, so the relevant parties launched the "New Concept Composition Contest" in order to find newcomers and bring new vitality to the rigid literary world;
On the one hand, physical books have declined since the 1990s, and publishing houses are also looking for new directions. Constantly testing the waters, trying to find new business opportunities.
Therefore, this kind of young talents and talented women are more popular.
Xiang Nan happened to be a sophomore in high school. He was only seventeen years old. He was handsome, had good grades, and a sophisticated writing style, so he was naturally worthy of bragging.
Soon, under the impetus of Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, all major newspapers began to report the story of "Young Writer Chen Xun". Afterwards, newspaper interviews, TV reports, on-site signings...all kinds of activities came one after another.
The overwhelming aura made Xiang Nan a household name, known to all women and children, and a popular young talent all over the country.
"Fuck, Chen Xun, did you know you were on TV?" Zhao Ye called Xiang Nandao.
"Chen Xun, is it really you who was listed in the newspaper?" Qiao Ran also called Xiang Nan.
"Chen Xun, you are really famous now, even my mother knows your name, and even asked me if you are my classmate." Lin Jiamo said excitedly.
"Chen Xun, you are so amazing, I can see you everywhere now~" Fang Hui also called Xiang Nandao.
Many classmates, even junior high school and elementary school students called to express their surprise.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is also well-informed, so he was not dazzled by this sudden honor. Otherwise, if you were someone else, you would probably have gotten carried away and carried yourself away.
In addition to participating in various activities arranged by the publishing house, he is still bored at home and typing.
"The Case of Young Cha Biliang's Injury" is just the first one. He is now writing "A River of Sadness", which is also a youth pain literature.
Because it is young people who are willing to buy physical books now, and young people have the highest consumption power. Only by catching them can the book sell.
…
With the rise of Xiang Nan's popularity, the sales of "The Incident of Young Cha Biliang" are also rising steadily.
Xiang Nan's most optimistic estimate before was that this book would sell 70,000 to 80,000 copies, and it would be good for him to earn 200,000 to 300,000 royalties.
But unexpectedly, under the operation of Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, this novel eventually sold more than 1.5 million copies. This alone allowed the Chen family to earn more than 3 million RMB.
Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua were going crazy with joy.
They never expected that their son's novel would be such a hit, allowing them to break through the working class and join the rich family in one fell swoop.
"Oh, son, you are so capable." Chen Jianjun laughed.
Zhang Xiaohua regretted being too strict with his son before, "Son, what do you want to eat, mom will make it for you."
"Dad, Mom, what should we do with this money." Xiang Nan said solemnly.
"Of course it is saved. With so much money in the bank, the annual interest is tens of thousands." Zhang Xiaohua laughed.
"Yes, although you have money, you can't spend it recklessly. But my wife, can you let me buy a car?" Chen Jianjun laughed.
"Dad, Mom, in my opinion, saving money and buying a car are not as good as buying a house." Xiang Nan laughed, "Money is becoming less and less valuable now. Ten years ago, a catty of rice was fifty cents, but now a catty of rice is one yuan.
Equivalent to ten years, the currency has depreciated by half. And the ten-year interest, how much is the total amount, is it enough to make up for it? Our country has now entered the customs, and the economic growth rate will become faster and faster in the future, and money will become less and less valuable.
Maybe ten years from now, a catty of rice will cost ten yuan. Therefore, we must not save money. The interest earned by saving money is not comparable to the loss of currency depreciation.
Buying a car is not acceptable either. Cars are consumables, and you lose money when you buy them. The house is an investment product. In recent years, more and more people have come to Beijing to work, and the price of houses has become more and more expensive.
Buy a few more sets now and save them, and they will surely sell at a high price in the future. Definitely better than buying a car, what do you think? "
Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua looked at each other and shook their heads, "Okay, you kid, why do you meddle in these things, study hard."
In their view, housing prices in Beijing are already high enough. Now people are clamoring that they can’t afford it anymore, and they are still investing in buying a house. If they can’t sell it in the future, won’t they just throw it all in their hands?
Seeing that they did not listen to persuasion, Xiang Nan couldn't help sighing.
There is a very famous theory in economics that people cannot earn money beyond their cognition.
This is the case with Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua. They have no foresight and can’t foresee that housing prices will soar in the future, so even if he reminds them, they don’t take it seriously.
Xiang Nan could only express regret about this.
Fortunately, even if he didn't invest in a house, Xiang Nan couldn't make enough money, so he didn't try to persuade him any more.
…
After the summer vacation, Xiang Nan returned to Experimental Middle School.
"I'll go, Chen Xun, you're still going back to school~ Dude thought you'd be a writer in the future."
"Chen Xun, that Han Han dropped out of school, do you have this plan too?"
"Chen Xun, I saw you on TV. Don't say it, you are really photogenic."
After the students saw him, they all joked.
Xiang Nan has long been used to the attention of the public, and he was not flattered by it, and lost ground. Instead, he talked nonsense with his classmates freely, and made an appointment to treat everyone to drink iced Coke at noon.
In the middle of the bustle, Fang Hui walked into the classroom.
When he saw Xiang Nan, he blushed immediately.
During the summer vacation, because Xiang Nan was too famous, they didn't dare to be together. They could only complain about their lovesickness over the phone.
So seeing you now, I am naturally very happy.
But before they finished eye contact, a teacher walked into the classroom with a serious expression, and then hung a sign saying "309 days before the college entrance examination" next to the blackboard.
Seeing that sign, everyone couldn't help but look terrified.
"Okay, my surname is Dai, and I'm your homeroom teacher." The teacher looked at the students in the audience with a cold face and said, "I don't like long-winded words, so I won't say anything unnecessary.
It's the third year of high school, and everything has to be compromised for the college entrance examination. I don't care what hobbies you had before, just give them up. Especially boys and girls are absolutely not allowed to fall in love.
Once I find out, don't blame me for being rude. Once found, go home immediately. Do you understand? "
"Understood." The students responded sparsely.
Fang Hui also looked back to Xiang Nan with a pale face.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and shook his head at her.
