"Wow, this is actually true."

"500 million, 500 million! I could never earn 500 million in my entire life."

“Shengda is a real tycoon, this is 5 times that of Jade Dynasty.”

Even though everyone in the group was a top-tier author, they were all stunned by Chen Yang's screenshot.

of course.

This is actually normal.

After all, online literature was only just emerging in 07.

Almost 99% of authors make a living through subscriptions.

However, at this time in 07, only a few top-tier works performed well in terms of subscriptions.

Where else can you find orders that easily reach tens of thousands?

Even something as small as the head.

Chen Yang's current subscriptions are at most around 10 per month.

It only costs 100 million a year.

This still requires me to work hard on writing every day.

If I didn't write so many words, I wouldn't even make 100,000 a month, only 70,000 or 80,000.

Even fifty or sixty thousand.

500 million.

This will take 5 years, or even 10 years to write.

It will take another 5 years for your work to reach 10,000 subscriptions.

When you compare them like this...

Then you'll know even more clearly how huge a sum of 500 million is.

"Dear experts, our online novel copyrights are actually quite valuable. Everyone must cherish the copyrights they hold and not sell them off cheaply."

Chen Yang reminded everyone in the group.

The further back in time goes, the more recognized the IP value of online novels will become.

His price also rose accordingly.

To be honest...

The copyright price of 500 million for "The World of Wonders" is not particularly high.

As for comparing it to Jade Dynasty.

500 million is indeed higher than Jade Dynasty.

But let's be honest.

The price of Jade Dynasty was too low.

This is just like the author of Ghost Blows Out the Light back then.

Upon hearing that his copyright could sell for 100 million, I was stunned and immediately sold it.

It's no wonder they're ignorant.

No one could have imagined that online novels would have such great value.

In addition, none of the authors themselves were particularly outstanding figures.

Let alone 07 million in 100.

Even if it's 100 million over 17 years, or 100 million over 27 years.

For many authors who had just become famous back then, he would have sold them 100% of the time.

I remember when the young master first became popular in my previous life, he didn't know how valuable he was and sold the copyright for a pittance.

By the time you truly understand, it's too late for regrets.

But that’s fine.

Chen Yang set an example.

Even if other authors' copyrights don't sell for such high prices later, there is still a benchmark to refer to.

……

"I heard that Professor Chen Yang's work sold for 500 million yuan in game copyrights?"

"Yes, Shengda just held a press conference not long ago."

"My God, 500 million? Is it for real?"

"It should be true. It seems that Teacher Chen Yang even posted a screenshot of his bank card."

"My goodness, online novels are so profitable!"

The 500 million game copyrights not only shocked the industry.

This also sent shivers down the spines of traditional literature.

The first to get excited were a group of writers in the Shanghai Writers Association.

People like Zhang Yuanping, Zhu Kun, and others.

They had previously thought that Chen Yang earning 70,000 to 80,000 a month was already terrifying.

have to.

Now they're making almost 500 million a year.

"Brother Yuanping, how's your online novel writing going?"

"Still learning."

"Didn't you say before that you were getting criticized and wouldn't write anymore?"

"So what if I get scolded? It doesn't hurt or itch. I'm going to keep learning."

this moment.

Zhang Yuanping was more determined than ever before.

It's not that his willpower is particularly amazing.

500 million is just too frightening.

It's not only scary.

The more you know about it, the more shocked you will be by this 500 million.

To know.

They've been spending all their time on SkyNet lately.

They have gained some understanding of online literature.

they know.

Chen Yang's claim of 500 million is not a boast or an exaggeration; it is real.

But the more they knew it was true, the more excited they became.

If you write it well.

What if they can also sell the game's copyright?
Let's not even talk about 500 million; if it can be sold for 100 million, that would be considered financial freedom.

No.

Let alone 100 million.

They would be more than satisfied if they could make a few hundred thousand.

But they were perfectly aware of it.

For traditional literature, the number of hundreds of thousands is a low probability event.

But in the realm of online literature, there are countless examples of this.

"Zhu Kun, how's your research going lately?"

"It's alright. I feel that their online novel writing style is quite different from ours."

"I think so too. Keep going, we can definitely do it."

"Well, come on."

The two encouraged each other.

We must make a name for ourselves in the online literature field.

……

"How should we plan this money?"

Looking at the more than 400 million yuan in his hand, Chen Yang started making plans.

Chen Yang originally planned to pay off his previous mortgage before buying another property.

but.

Thinking back to my previous life, the housing prices in Shanghai were constantly rising.

Buying it outright is possible, but the wealth appreciation would be too slow.

The best way is to take out a loan to buy a few more properties.

Especially now that there are no sales restrictions in Shanghai.

If sales are restricted later, you won't be able to buy it even if you want to.

After several days of planning.

Chen Yang made his decision.

He plans to take out another loan to buy a few more properties.

but.

Just in case.

And so that it wouldn't end up like it was in my previous life.

Chen Yang will keep 100 million yuan as a reserve fund.

Although Chen Yang doesn't actually need to keep 100 million based on his current income.

He has the funds to keep up.

But it's still better to play it safe.

Who knows what might happen along the way?

Leaving some funds behind will allow for future turnover and prevent excessive worry.

A few days later.

Chen Yang then went to various places in Shanghai to look at houses.

After a flurry of activity, Chen Yang purchased five more apartments.

"I'm so tired."

After bringing back a huge pile of contracts, Chen Yang was quite tired these past few days.

He decides.

Next time I have money to invest, I won't invest in real estate anymore.

Next, we'll consider gold.

Gold also has great potential for future appreciation.

It's also easier to liquidate than a house.

of course.

Chen Yang didn't forget his parents either, and transferred 10 yuan to them.

The reason for transferring 10 yuan.

On the one hand, I wanted to give my parents some extra money.

On the other hand, I also wanted my parents to renovate the house on the orchard hill.

All kinds of home appliances, such as air conditioners, were installed.

This way, the orchard will have a better environment, and parents will have a more comfortable place to rest when they are tired.

My mother said, "Why buy an air conditioner? It's a waste of electricity."

Chen Yang then said, "Mom, if you don't want it, I still want it."

They insisted that their parents install it.

Not only should they be installed, but every house, including the living room, should be equipped with them.

After that, Chen Yang didn't plan to do anything else.

That evening, Chen Yang went to a barbecue stall near the neighborhood.

One person ordered some grilled skewers and a few bottles of beer.

That's what you call eating with great relish.

As for your question about whether Chen Yang is too much of a loser.

With so much money in my hand, I'm just going to buy some skewers.

Chen Yangcai didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He wasn't exactly a high-end person to begin with.

They have no interest in going to any high-end places.

Being able to enjoy barbecue skewers happily, owning a car and a house... and not worrying about the future is already an extremely lucky thing.

……

"Chen Yang, you don't seem to have changed much lately."

What kind of changes do you want?

“You’ve made a fortune of 500 million in platinum.”

"Great God Hanxiao, you've been watching me the whole time."

"It's not that I'm watching you, but everyone in the industry knows about your 500 million. Wow, impressive. With that 500 million, you could sponsor 10 college students."

"Really? Where is it packaged?"

"You actually came... you scumbag."

"Only scumbags get girls. Besides, what if it's consensual?"

"Is this why you write about harems in your novels?"

"Didn't you say you didn't mind harems?"

"Uh……"

Chen Yang continued attending school classes.

in the afternoon.

Chen Yang received a call from Teacher He, the vice president of the Shanghai Writers Association, saying that the Shanghai Writers Association conference would be held tomorrow.

They also recommended Chen Yang to serve as a director of the Shanghai Writers Association.

Chen Yang declined several times.

But deep down, I knew.

His novel "The Vast World" sold its game rights for 500 million yuan, which was a shock to the Shanghai Writers Association.

say what.

Such an important member definitely needs to be promoted to a board member.

As for what the board members do?

Actually, they don't do anything.

Even if one's status is elevated, there's no need to do anything.

At the same time, they have certain voting rights regarding the Writers' Association.

The next day.

Chen Yang arrived at the Shanghai Writers Association.

At this moment, the other members of the Shanghai Writers Association also arrived early.

Chen Yang was seated in the second row.

They haven't taken their seats yet.

As soon as he entered the venue, Vice President He Chuang hurriedly greeted Chen Yang: "Teacher Chen Yang, you are truly remarkable. You sold the copyright of a game for 500 million yuan. We writers can't earn that much in a lifetime."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "President, you're too kind. My online novels aren't very valuable; they're more commercial. I hope the president and the other teachers in the association will offer their criticisms."

"It is you who have given me so much guidance."

As he spoke, He Chuang would occasionally introduce the others.

"Come, come, Mr. Chen Yang, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yuan Ping, this is Mr. Zhu Kun, and this is..."

Zhang Yuanping and Zhu Kun both had smiles on their faces at this moment.

Looking at Chen Yang, Zhang Yuanping said, "Teacher Chen Yang, I've also been studying online novels recently, and I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

"Mr. Chen Yang, I was not familiar with online literature before, and I may have said some things that were not very good about online literature. Please don't mind."

Zhu Kun also said.

Chen Yang responded with a smile: "You two are too kind. Online literature is still a new genre, and we still have to learn from seniors like Teacher Yuanping and Teacher Zhu Kun."

That's obviously nonsense.

However, Chen Yang really said those words comfortably.

Isn't this just showing off in front of others?

Do you think I can't?
I will not only.

I even pretended to be high-end and classy.

Ha ha.

They used to ignore online novels, but now... hehe, they've all come here to learn about them.

……

The conference then officially began.

The conference began with an introduction to the achievements of the Shanghai Writers Association in various aspects over the past year of 07.

It also introduced some information about the new members.

In here.

Chen Yang was specifically mentioned.

He frequently mentions his 500 million game copyrights.

This also caused everyone at the conference to glance at Chen Yang from time to time.

"Look, that's the young man."

"500 million? That's like winning the lottery."

"It's not just 500 million. I heard he also sold the simplified Chinese version, the traditional Chinese version, and the comic book rights. The simplified Chinese version, in particular, is selling very well in the market. Some experts estimate that he may have earned at least 1000 million from this book."

"1000 million, my God."

Everyone looked at Chen Yang with stars in their eyes.

Next, the election of a new council will take place.

As expected, Chen Yang was elected as a director of the new Shanghai Writers Association.

After the meeting.

The writers' representatives from the association surrounded Chen Yang.

"Mr. Chen Yang, could you share with us how to sell your copyrights?"

"Teacher Chen Yang, do you think we can write online novels?"

"Teacher Chen Yang, when will you teach us? We are also very interested in online novels."

……

In the evening, a group of writers gathered for a buffet dinner.

He Chuang took the plate and came to Chen Yang's side.

“Professor Chen Yang, I think our Shanghai Writers Association needs to recruit more online writers.”

"Teacher He Chuang?"

"This is also the chairman's intention, and the higher-ups' intention. Of course, as you've seen, many of the writers in the association are also very interested in online literature. We also believe that online literature will be a trend, and at the same time, it is a representative of the new era of literature. We need to unite all online writers. What do you think?"

"President, you're absolutely right."

"Then it's settled, Mr. Chen Yang. Could you recommend some online novelists to come over another day? We can also organize more events in the future, what do you think?"

"Ok."

Chen Yang agreed.

That night.

Chen Yang mentioned it in several author groups.

Several authors expressed no interest in the Writers' Association.

Chen Yang, aware of their thoughts, said, "I know you're not interested in the Writers' Association, and I know you think those guys there look down on us. But actually, when we show them our true strength, they'll have to take us seriously. At today's meeting, I'll tell you..."

Chen Yang then gave everyone a briefing on the day's meeting.

All the authors were excited and shouted with delight.

"Unbeknownst to many, have these writers from the Writers' Association really started writing online novels?"

"Of course it's true. Look at Skynet, there have been some random posts lately that seem to be written by outsiders. Let me tell you, they're the ones who came here."

"Holy crap, I thought these guys were just talking nonsense."

"Haha, it's interesting that traditional writers are writing online novels. It's really interesting."

Chen Yang continued, "That's why I told everyone that if you're interested, you can join us. Firstly, since you're all usually staying at home, you can meet up and chat when you have free time. Secondly, there's another advantage here: there are many opportunities for inspiration. If you're lacking inspiration, you can come and participate in inspiration gatherings. Most importantly, while you're gathering inspiration, you can also show off in front of them and adjust your mood, right?"

"Damn, now that you mention it, I want to join right away. Not for anything else, just to show off."

"Yeah, there was this county writers' association guy who looked down on me. Fine, I'll join their provincial writers' association and then I'll slap them in the face."

"Yes, in the future we will not only join the provincial level, but also the national level. We can show off, but more importantly, if we want our online literature to become mainstream, we must also have a certain degree of influence."

"Well said, don't flatter the gods. Please recommend me. I'll be your lackey from now on."

"Don't praise the gods, please recommend me, I'll be your lackey from now on."

"Not to be proclaimed as divine..."

The authors exclaimed excitedly.

……

Ok.

The above was just a side note.

For Chen Yang, writing books is still his most important task.

Whether it's investing or showing off in a club.

Chen Yang knew.

Everything I do is to write a good book.

Therefore, although Chen Yang has handled a lot of things during this period, he has not missed updating at all.
