Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 35 Financial Power
The exchange meeting process has basically ended, and according to the original plan, the exchange group will return home.

However, because of Chen Linfeng's signing, various magazines changed their thinking and hoped to promote domestic popular literature as well.

So it was finally decided that authors like Chen Linfeng would go back first, while the editors would remain in Neon to discuss possible follow-up cooperation.

Neon Publishing House also hopes to publish more excellent works and is happy to have more works to choose from.

After the exchange meeting, the writers were given two days to play. During these two days, Chen Linfeng communicated with Kodansha on some specific details of the subsequent publication.

The book "Destiny" has a relatively large number of words, more than 60. A regular book published by Japan has at most half this number of words.

Kodansha and Chen Linfeng decided to divide the book into three volumes and sell them separately, with one volume released every three months. This would allow for long-term promotion and the total sales figures would also look better.

Of course, the royalty settlement is still uniformly made every six months. After six months, Chen Linfeng will receive the first payment.

The specific promotional model has also been confirmed, and Chen Linfeng will need to come to Neon to participate in the promotional activities.

In addition, the two parties have also determined the literary translator of the novel. The translation fee will be advanced by the publishing house and deducted during the first subsequent settlement.

A whole day had passed as all the various matters were confirmed.

The next day, Chen Linfeng only strolled around the prosperous area of ​​Tokyo, bought some gifts for his parents and Shi Xiaolong, and ended this trip to Japan.

It was already mid-August when Chen Linfeng returned home. Shi Xiaolong was not at home, but Chen's father was at home, which was rare.

"Mom, where's Brother Long? Why isn't he here?"

"Young Justice Bao will be aired in half a month, and he has gone to participate in the promotion.

How do you feel about going back to Neon?"

Chen Linfeng told his parents about the Neon Exchange Conference, including some of his views and thoughts about Neon.

To sum up, witnessing the corruption in capitalist society has strengthened the original intention of becoming socialist successors.

Mother Chen touched his head and said, "You are such a bold kid. You dare to negotiate with those cunning capitalists on your own. I heard Editor-in-Chief Zhu say on the phone that several editors of the magazine were involved."

She was a little scared, "Everyone was worried about you afterwards. You dared to say anything. You are so arrogant."

Chen Shantong patted his shoulder and said, "You are worthy of being a child of the Chen family. You have the courage of a warrior and are not afraid of big occasions."

Chen Linfeng took advantage of his parents' happiness and mentioned something.

"Dad, it's not convenient to transfer the money I made from publishing novels in Japan to China. Can I take care of it? I want to try to learn about investment."

"How old are you and you want to manage money?"

Father Chen was surprised but did not feel offended. The child had had his own ideas since he was young. Newspapers outside said every day that his son was a genius, and he agreed with it.

"You are so young, and you have a large sum of money in your hands. What if you learn bad things?"

Chen's mother has the same worry. "It's said that it's hard to learn good things, but once you learn bad things, it's too late to regret it."

Chen Linfeng knew his parents would think this way, and he couldn't say that his situation was special.

"I can't guarantee that you won't learn bad things. You won't believe me even if I tell you. How about this?"

He took a step back and advised.

"I won't take a dime from it until I reach adulthood. You guys will still be watching over the money. I'll just invest it, and all operations will be handled through you. How do you think that works?"

Seeing that the two leaders were still in deep thought, he continued to persuade them,
“The money from Nihong is unexpected money. Even if I lose it all, it won’t affect anything. I’m still young and can make it back quickly if I want. This is just an experiment.

Besides, I don’t do any high-risk operations, so I believe I won’t lose money.”

Chen's mother was still unwilling. She couldn't bear to see the money being wasted. If it really didn't work, donating it was better than throwing it in the stock market. The newspapers had reported many people who had lost their fortunes in the stock market. In the end, Chen Shantong made the final decision and agreed. Just as Chen Linfeng said, it was only the income from the publication of Neon, and no money from China would be used.

Besides, the money was earned by my son himself, so he should be able to manage it himself. As parents, we just don’t want our son to learn bad things because of too much money.

"It's good to learn how to manage money in advance. Xiaofeng will always be exposed to more and more money in the future. Not only money, but also other temptations will make people learn bad things. If you can control the desire to spend money, you can control other things."

Seeing that her husband agreed, Chen's mother didn't say anything more. It was indeed difficult for an adult to be too strict with the money earned by the children.

Chen's father advised, "You don't need to do anything for us to watch. You have done it through us, so you can manage it yourself. Before you become an adult, every year, tell your parents whether you make money or lose money. That's all."

"Well, my parents are sensible. I am so smart, maybe I will inherit your wisdom."

"Stinky boy,"

Father Chen laughed and scolded, then avoided the topic and started talking about investing in a new film crew.

He has already reached an agreement with the producer of "Don't Talk to Strangers" and he will join the crew to participate in the preparations in a while.

Chen Linfeng was very happy when he knew that his father's career was starting. He chatted with his father for a long time while drinking a drink.

Back in the room, Chen Linfeng thought about how to use the money that he could control.

The contract he agreed upon with Kodansha stipulates that royalties will be settled once every six months after the release of the book, which means that the first payment will be received around March next year.

Chen Linfeng was not in a hurry to invest. Emily Ken was experiencing the Nasdaq economic bubble and domestic Internet companies were also hit hard.

The current timing is not suitable for investment, or in his memory of his previous life, there were no particularly good opportunities during this period, and it would have to be until 2002.

The most famous opportunity - the Seoul World Cup, this classic opportunity to make money in online literature, was in 02.

So next year, Chen Linfeng will not take any action.

Today he was actually just seizing the opportunity to try to gain financial power. He had originally planned to engage in a protracted war, but he didn't expect to succeed in one go.

In fact, Chen Linfeng had considered investing in the two Ma's Internet companies. Too many online articles in his previous life had written about this.

However, when he actually understood it, he gave up the idea.

Malaysia already had a successful track record before Alibaba, and even made the cover of Time magazine this year. It is now not short of investment.

Xiao Ma's timing was right, but the money he invested was too little. With the other person's family background, he could only afford this amount of money, and he couldn't afford more.

Last year, the eldest son of the Li family in Hong Kong spent 220 million US dollars to buy part of Penguin’s shares, which is 1800 million in Huayuan, which is not something he can afford at all.

A year later, this part of the shares was sold at a price that seemed to be priced at a loss in later generations - more than 10 million US dollars, a price he could not afford even if he spent all his family's savings.

Even if Chen Linfeng had the money, the same 220 million or 1260 million US dollars, he couldn't even think of buying it, because Xiao Ma not only needed investors' money, but also some additional social resources, which he could not satisfy.

Similarly, other well-known Internet companies in the future all have their own difficulties, which are not something a minor like him can get involved in.

It’s just that he was reborn too late. If he had been reborn ten years earlier, he might have become the godfather of the Internet.

Now, find the right opportunity and make some money while these popular pigs are taking off. There will be many more opportunities in the future.

Chen Linfeng does not seek to become a business tycoon or a wealthy man at the top of the pig-killing list. The money he earns is enough to satisfy his future financial freedom and freedom to make films.

At most you can make some investments in the industry, but you can't let others bully you in the future.

At least, that's what he thought for now.
