My Siheyuan Shelter

Father Xu is getting old and has poor eyesight. After reading the manuscript for a few days, he couldn't hold on anymore. In the end, Lele stepped forward to help read the manuscript.

Father Xu is only responsible for listening.

If there is something unsatisfactory in the middle, Lele will help to mark it, and write down the revision opinion at the same time, and then make revisions when Ji Yin comes back from get off work.

This autobiography has a total of more than [-] words.

Roughly divided into two parts.

The first half is about Xu's father's life before his fortune, focusing on the description of various childhood misfortunes, as well as the ups and downs of the couple raising their three children.

Although this part of the content occupies most of the time in terms of time span, it is only a quarter of the length, about [-] words.

Among them, the education of the youngest son is the most important thing. Xu's father exaggerated and "borrowed" some of the deeds of other children's children, and Ji Yin also used a lot of spring and autumn brushwork.

In short, sum it up in one sentence:

Although the richest man's academic performance is average, he is very smart, sensible, and filial. He has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child.

Ji Yin has brought a little private goods here, faintly taking the opportunity to criticize exam-oriented education.

Dad Xu is very satisfied with the content of this part.

The old man only made a few changes, mainly adding some content about his biological mother, which he suddenly recalled recently.

What follows is the second half of the autobiography.

Different from the first half, Ji Yin creatively adopts two narrative lines.

One is Dad Xu's entrepreneurial process, and the other is God's perspective on the world.

Whenever an important event happens, the narrative lines of the two days will intersect, and the combination of macro and micro is just right, which makes people feel empathetic.

There is an old saying: You can see the whole leopard by looking at one spot.

In the long river of history, every specific person is a drop of water in the era in which he lives. Ji Yin has great ambitions, and hopes to clearly show the changes of the entire era through Xu's father's fate trajectory.

The only pity is that Xu's father retired a little early. The past few years have been equally turbulent, not inferior to the previous ten years.

Moreover, there will be more earth-shattering changes in the following world, which may even rise to the height of the entire human civilization. This is not an exaggeration at all.

To put it another way, all the history that mankind has experienced before, even if they are added together, in a sense, they are not as important as these decades.

It is unfortunate to be born in this era, because it is precarious and may be swallowed by the era at any time.

At the same time, it is also lucky, because it can participate in more history, and even witness the end of human civilization.

Regardless of luck or misfortune, no one can escape.

Dad Xu is generally satisfied with the content of the second half, but he also put forward many revisions, which can be roughly summarized into three aspects.

First of all, the content about the youngest son was added, highlighting Xu Dong's irreplaceable role in the entrepreneurial process, and even promoted the other party to the status of co-founder.

The old man has already seen it. Since the title of the book is how to cultivate the richest man, it can't be used as a trick.

Secondly, all the contents of the old Pan's family were deleted. This was requested by Pan's father when he asked for his opinion. High profile is not good for their family.

In the end, Dad Xu added a public will at the end of his autobiography, which was specially requested by his youngest son. He wanted to use his name to donate 5.00% of the share dividends of Xinke Seaweed to the Children's Bureau.

Speaking of which, Xu Dong's move was helpless.

In the past two years, his net worth has risen somewhat alarmingly, which is in stark contrast to the current severe situation. It doesn't matter whether he is timid or stupid, in short, he can be regarded as bankrupt and avoid disaster.

The whole family is quite in favor of this, after all, their family has already had enough money, and the loss of tens of billions does not have much impact, as long as the equity is still in hand.

Only Xu Bin has been brooding.

I was so distressed that I couldn't sleep for several nights.

……

A month later, through his father's relationship, Ji Yin personally visited the general manager of Kangaroo Country Publishing and Media Group with the final version of the manuscript.

After some pleasantries, the two sides got to the point.

"Uncle Lei, this is the autobiography of my wife's grandfather. I wrote it myself. Please correct me."

Mr. Lei didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. There are dozens of incidents like this every year. Most of the so-called "autobiography" are actually loss-making businesses.

The relationship is hard, and you have to go up if you have to bite the bullet.

It's easier to deal with those with a shallow relationship. Their publishing house will issue a book number and let the other party pay at their own expense. They can also take the opportunity to make a fortune and recover some losses to some extent.

After all, the current book number is a scarce resource.

However, when he took the manuscript, he just glanced at the title of the book, and he felt keenly that it was definitely a bestseller.

"Xiao Yin, the richest man in Xu is your father-in-law?"

"Yes." Ji Yin nodded, "My wife is the youngest daughter of my father-in-law's family."

Mr. Lei immediately patted the table: "It's a pity that my father and I have been old friends for many years. How could he hide such an important matter from me?"

"Uncle Lei, don't be angry. My dad didn't deliberately hide it from everyone. The main reason is that you didn't ask. Our family can't spread the word everywhere by ourselves, right?"

"Okay, what you said is reasonable." Boss Lei patted the manuscript lightly, "You are quite capable, you actually chased after the daughter of the richest man's family, hurry up and tell me the truth, when did you get married?"

"We got married during the Spring Festival the year before last."

"Do you have any children?"

"At present, there is a daughter who just turned one year old."

Mr. Lei nodded: "Tell me a word for your father-in-law later, just say this autobiography, our publishing house is very optimistic about it, and plans to publish it online and offline simultaneously. As for the first printing, there will be no less than 500,000 copies."

"Uncle Lei, you didn't even look at it..."

Ji Yin quickly reminded.

"Don't read it." Boss Lei waved his hand, "For your father-in-law's name, plus your writing style, based on my years of experience, I can assure you that this book will definitely not be bad, and the sales volume will be at least More than a million."

After all, Asia has a population of nearly one billion.

As long as one in a thousand people buy it, there will be a sales volume of 1 million. In addition to the extinction of piracy, the book market still has great potential.

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Ji Yin stopped persuading him: "Uncle Lei, I'll leave it to you."

"Is copyright okay?"

Mr. Lei nodded and asked casually.

"No problem, Grandpa, the old man, has entrusted me with all affairs."

"That's good. In fact, I am very optimistic about this book, and I plan to take it to the overseas market to test the waters. Are you going to translate it yourself, or hand it over to our publishing house?"

Ji Yin shook his head: "Uncle Lei, my English is not good enough, you should find someone to translate! But I have one condition, I want the final review."

"no problem."

Mr. Lei immediately agreed.

The reason is very simple. After all, this autobiography involves the richest man. Since the other party is willing to "check it out" personally, their publishing house is also happy to relax. If there is a mistake, they can't be blamed.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides signed a publishing contract.

One of the most important ones is royalties.

Mr. Lei didn't know whether he was really optimistic about this autobiography, or because of Xu Dong's face, he finally gave a higher royalty: 12.00%.

However, the current book market is very similar to the movie market. According to the requirements of the superiors, the pricing is always close to the people.

If it can reach millions of sales.

Dad Xu can probably get more than 200 million royalties.
