Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

Seeing Liu's mother arrive with a bright and cheerful expression, Xie Jin knew that his mother-in-law had been in a good mood lately.

"Aunt"

Liu Xiaoli waved happily, "Xiao Jin, let me tell you, you've really helped Auntie get her revenge lately!"

Xie Jin feigned surprise, "Oh, Auntie, what's got you so happy?"

"Do you remember that agency that managed Taiwan artists? Back when Sissi's drama hadn't aired, did they think Sissi wasn't a big star?"

Xie Jin thought for a moment before remembering and nodded: "May Love, Takeshi Kaneshiro's manager?"

"Oh my~ His agent was so obsequious on the phone yesterday, saying there would be a chance to work together in the future... It was hilarious."

After chatting for a while, Xie Jin subtly showered Xie Jin with compliments.

He made his mother-in-law extremely happy, and then Xie Jin took the opportunity to mention his plan to buy a house the next day.

"You should have bought it a long time ago. Let me tell you, the economy is so good now, and houses in the capital will only get more and more expensive. You won't regret buying it; your child will need it for school later."

Miss Liu leaned closer and said, "Mom... I'll go check for him. Let's buy one for our family too."

Liu Xiaoli was exasperated. "What are you doing? Are you picking out apples for him or for yourself? Do you think buying apples is something you can just do on a whim?"

But it's not entirely impossible... My daughter earns so much money, it's time for her to build some businesses for herself.

Girls with money in their hands have courage in their waist.

He tapped Liu Yifei's head: "You brat, what are you buying? Do you even know how much a house costs?"

Xiao Liu covered his head and pouted, "I...I've earned money too, can I buy one, can I buy one..."

Xie Jin scratched her head: "Actually, Auntie has one song on the album that's hers, plus her income from ringtones... If she wants to buy one, she can, and it'll appreciate in value anyway, so there's no pressure."

"How about she comes to see me tomorrow morning, and I'll bring her back at noon?"

Liu Xiaoli squinted, remained silent for three seconds, and then thought about it and agreed.

Anyway, I'll be back by noon... It's not a bad thing to get to know each other.

Sometimes, trying to stop something might actually cause problems...

And since it's rare to find a child you think is good, don't dampen their enthusiasm.

Xie Jin knows what's important; nothing serious will happen...

Liu Xiaoli nodded at her daughter, "You brat, all you do is cause trouble for Xiaojin."

"Okay, go ahead, but don't cause any trouble. Xie Jin is usually tired enough. I have a beauty treatment this afternoon, it won't finish until four o'clock, so I'll let you play a little longer."

Suddenly, Liu's mother remembered something: "Xiao Jin, can Qianqian buy a house at sixteen?"

Fortunately, Xie Jin had worked as a real estate agent in his previous life. He nodded and said, "You can buy it. The General Principles of Civil Law stipulate that you can buy a house independently if you are 16 years old and your main source of income is labor, but you cannot apply for a loan."

  

"That's fine."

After the Liu mother and daughter left, as they were going to meet a local friend that evening, Xie Jin took a plane from the airport to leave.

Not long after, Xie Jin's phone vibrated with a text message.

"Thanks, Dog! I knew you were the best! Eat early tomorrow!"

·······

Xie Jin got up early and went to the bank to check her card.

To be honest, I don't even know my own financial situation right now. For the past six months, I've been either working or on my way to work, a pure nuclear-powered ox or horse.

The movie is currently showing in theaters and hasn't finished its run yet. Even if it makes 10 billion, it's not time to distribute the profits yet.

So, we can forget about box office revenue for now.

Kari only had the income from the previous four ringtones and the initial revenue share from the record sales.

The four ringtones combined have garnered a total of 4200 million downloads over the past few months, which is a respectable number.

However, it still falls short compared to the 600 million monthly downloads of "Mice Love Rice" next year.

With 4200 million subscribers and a monthly subscription price of five yuan for a ringback tone, the company generated a total revenue of 2.1 million yuan.

Mobile operators take 50%, SP service providers take 30%+, and second-tier subcontractors take 10%.

After deducting all the miscellaneous fees, Xie Jin only received 8%, which amounted to 1760 million.

The album "When a Man Falls in Love" sold 22 copies in Taiwan, 74 copies in mainland China, and 7 copies in Hong Kong Island in a single month, generating a total revenue of 3300 million.

Record companies bear the costs and distribution, so they naturally take the lion's share.

Xie Jin receives a combined commission of 12% for the singer, 3% for the arranger, and 3% for the lyricist, which is significantly higher than her earnings as a solo singer.

The total pre-tax amount was 590 million. After deducting miscellaneous taxes of 66.08, I received a little over 520 million. Fortunately, I enjoyed a 30% tax reduction on royalties in 03, otherwise I would have had to pay even more.

All told, excluding movies, I generated 250 million yuan in revenue this year, and finally received 22.8 million yuan.

2280 million in 2003 could be considered a small astronomical figure...

After the album sales end, all five songs will be signed as ringtones. Ringtones are definitely more profitable...

After checking her card, Xie Jin knew what was going on and left the bank.

..........

The car I drove this time was a beat-up old Volkswagen Bora, the only problem being the stereo. I borrowed it from Lao Wang... It's really old and worn out.

When they arrived at Old Liu's house, the guy sat at the gate of the yard, looking at them expectantly like a little dog.

As soon as Xie Jin's car arrived, the little thing darted inside.

With his face completely covered and muffled behind a scarf, he protested, "Thanks, Gouzi! Did you carry the bike all the way here? Slower than a tortoise! ​​I'm getting sleepy waiting for you!"

Xie Jin rolled her eyes. "I'm already being kind by coming to pick you up. How about I take you back?"

"No...no."

Ms. Liu happily took off her shoes, sat cross-legged in the passenger seat, opened the window to let the breeze in, and called out, "Driver! Let's go!"

.........

.........

Not long after they started driving, Xie Jin visited several newly opened residential developments in Haidian District. She visited three developments in total, but was not satisfied with the apartment layouts of the first two.

Finally, in Haiding Sijiqing, Xie Jin arrived at a decent-looking single-level apartment.

According to Lao Xie's memories as a real estate agent who worked in Beijing before his rebirth.

The owner of this property is surnamed Huang, and the quality of the property is very good.

Nearby are shopping malls, military academies, community hospitals, top-notch primary and secondary schools, and perfect greenery. Most importantly, it is quiet while being close to the third and fourth ring roads.

Fifteen years later, the average price of these gardens will be 10-14.5 RMB per square meter; now it's 7200 RMB per square meter.

Those who bought houses are really making a killing...they've really benefited from the times...

"Mr. Xie, you are the first customer to view this unit. This is our largest unit in the prime location, at 220 square meters, and the rooftop terrace is included as a gift."

"Let me think about it. Please wait outside for a few minutes so we can discuss it."

"No problem, please feel free to chat. Call me if you need anything."

........

The salesperson tactfully left, and Ms. Liu quickly took off her mask, scarf, and sunglasses, her forehead covered in beads of sweat.

Xie Jin also took off her mask; it was so hot she was almost delirious...

Xiao Liu pouted, "It's so boring! Being famous isn't good at all. We're bundled up like bandits."

"A master thief? You're more of a clumsy thief."

Xie Jin and Miss Liu wiped their sweat and took a breath.

After looking around the room, Xie Jin looked at Xiao Liu and said, "What do you think? The affiliated primary school is right next door, and there's a shopping mall just a kilometer away. It will be convenient for school, life, and work in the future. You can even keep cats and dogs on the rooftop, and the greenery is quite nice too."

Xiao Liu had a strange feeling that Xie Jin was asking him why he was doing this.

Does he care about my advice?

She felt that this trip wasn't about choosing a house for Xie Jin, but rather about choosing one for herself.

No, wait! It's for me to choose, I'm bringing money to buy a house too! I'm a tycoon today.

To be honest, she really likes this disc.

Few people, convenient, quiet...

Xiao Liu asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Xie Jin thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good."

"I think that's good too..."
