Chapter 3 The beginning of fame

Lu Jinbo soon came to Yangcheng again and signed a publishing agreement with Qu Li. The first printing was 300,000 copies, with a unit price of 22 yuan, a 10% royalty, a royalty income of 660,000, and a tax of 74,000. Finally, a total of 586,000 was distributed to him. , according to industry regulations, the down payment is 30%, and the remaining part needs to be paid within half a year.

Does this mean that if the novel does not sell well, the remainder will not be paid, or is it to alleviate the financial pressure on the publishing house?

Qu Li didn't know and didn't dare to ask. After signing the contract, he gave him 200,000 yuan, which was regarded as an agreement with him on the priority publishing rights of "Those Years" and "First Love".

After getting 200,000 yuan, there is still 150,000 yuan in the Zhaoxing Dual Card. The Taobao account is bound to another card, and the funds are not included in the 350,000 yuan.

Danlin's online store is very profitable. They plan to learn how to drive and buy a car to facilitate the purchase and delivery of goods. After all, as long as the goods can be sold immediately, they can make higher profits. However, the two have not established a formal company and cannot sign a contract, so Things are dragging on like this, but overall, Danlin Women's Clothing Store is not short of money for the time being.

Since there is no shortage of money, the 350,000 cash must not be idle. The first choice is of course to buy stocks. The A-share price fell below 1,000 points, and the valuation is at a record low. At this time, you will not lose money if you buy stocks with your eyes closed. By 2007 Maybe you can earn 10 quilts, and buy a roof ten times more than ten years. For 350,000, you can only buy a small house. It is better to wait until you are not short of money before buying a big house.

As a relatively senior stock investor, he has read a lot of information and has done research on the 2007 bull market. He remembers many stocks with the highest growth rates. For example, there are several stocks that have increased 10 times in one year and 30 times in two years. times.

Of course, Qu Li's investment is very logical. He does not focus on exports, non-ferrous metals, infrastructure and finance. For example, his stocks include Guangzhou Shipyard, Chihong Zinc and Germanium, Shandong Gold, Zijin Mining, Jiangxi/ Yunnan Copper, Sany/Xugong, Conch Cement, Zhongyan Securities, Zhaoxing/Shenzhen Development Bank, etc., there are still some companies that have not been listed.

I spent 350,000 yuan to buy 12 stocks. Unfortunately, I still have too little money. It is difficult to increase leverage in China. It is a pity. HSBC’s service is much better. It is a slippery move to increase leverage for customers.

He tried to contact the bank. Qu Li wanted to use the publishing contract as a mortgage for a loan of 380,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, after checking Qu Li's repayment ability, the bank took the initiative to add money to him and borrowed 270,000 yuan through a credit loan, adding up to a total of 1 million yuan.

In other words, Qu Li finally invested 1 million in the stock market, with an average investment of more than 80,000 per stock. Now it is a bit interesting.

Lu Jinbo looked at his coquettish operation and advised him, "You are taking too many risks."

"It's okay. I have studied securities trading. A-shares are currently at a historical low, and they may never see such a low position again in the future." Qu Li explained briefly, but he did not intend for others to accept his point of view. He is not a big boss who talks about Tianxian. No normal person knows where the bottom and top of A-shares are. It is unethical to persuade others to speculate in stocks.

"Mr. Qu's approach is actually very safe..." Account Manager of Zhaoshang Securities

Lu Jinbo didn't listen, and what the brokerage account manager said was basically worthless.

"Yes, my operation is very safe." Qu Li really thinks so. There is no safer investment than stock trading. Of course, this statement is limited to reborn people.

What Qu Li thinks of safety is different from what normal people think of, but Lu Jinbo does not intend to persuade young people to write better works after experiencing setbacks.

A few days later, Lu Jinbo brought a reporter from a southern newspaper to interview Qu Li, starting with his origins as an orphan, why he dropped out of school to work, what prompted him to take self-study exams, study creation, and why he wanted to create a killer look.

Yes, this reporter is probably one of our own, he is very talkative and has his own interests in mind. He described the post-modern artistic expression of Shamat as a product of his studies.

The order is very important. If he said that killing Matt was a product of his pretending to be a bad boy to pick up girls, it would probably not be recognized by his colleagues in the literary and art circles. But after he learns, killing Matt may really become a bad behavior.

Part of art is artistic pursuit.

After a light-hearted report, Lu Jinbo: "Don't worry, he won't talk nonsense."

The southern faction was a separatist power, and its combat effectiveness was very strong at this time. Lu Jinbo really spent a lot of money in order to have people praise him.

"This reporter is very important. If you publish it in authoritative media, and then quote it in other media, and then let a few writers say a few words for you, your image will be established." Lu Jinbo took the trouble to explain, there is no way, Qu Li

It's really too mature.

"After this report comes out, you can learn from Han Han and write more articles on the Tianya Forum. They can be anything from prose to criticizing current ills or expressing feelings..."

Lu Jinbo said, Qu Li knew that he was imparting experience and asked him to make some preparations. Qu Li had also posted blogs before, but most of them were related to killing horses and made a lot of nonsense about postmodernism, which he still can't understand.

noun.

"Write a short essay on the Tianya Forum, why?" Chen Danlin once again incarnated into a hundred thousand whys. Many of Qu Li's actions were so incomprehensible to her.

"Small compositions play a big role..." Qu Li knew that with the advent of the Internet era, the media's right to speak was dispersed and gradually shifted to self-media, a new thing.

If you write a good essay, you can become an excellent self-media person in the future. It is quite interesting to be an opinion leader when you have nothing to do. At least you can protect your legitimate interests to the greatest extent.

"Hasn't it been proven before that the increase in your popularity can effectively increase the number of visits and sales of Danlin women's clothing. In the same way, if we set up a company in the future and you are a well-known figure in the country, not only will the court receive preferential treatment, but consumers will also

I will trust you more, and our products will have a higher reputation..."

Qu Li wanted to explain the matter clearly, but found that he was unable to do so. Many supporting evidences that could be proved cannot be explained now. The most direct and typical one is Musk's Tesla. It is said that there is almost no marketing expenses, but Tesla

The world's most well-known new energy vehicle brand has even become synonymous with new energy vehicles for a period of time.

It's a pity that the future king Zhalang Blog and Zhalang Weibo have not yet been developed, otherwise the effect would be better, well, not necessarily, there are too many people more famous than him.

"According to you, it would be easy for Brother Chun to start a business?" Chen Danlin had her own ideas and felt that Qu Li's persuasion was a bit biased.

Brother Chun was a phenomenal figure in 2005. Unfortunately, their Danlin women's clothing store is not a brand and has just started. Otherwise, if Brother Chun had signed an endorsement contract in advance, their Taobao store would be out of the spotlight in minutes.

"But they will earn more as celebrities. By the way, you said that if we cooperate with celebrities to create trendy brands in the future, will it be easy to sell?" Inspired, Qu Li thought of a lot, such as Uniqlo and other fast fashion brands.

The brand cooperated with people in the cultural and art fields, and later some outdated celebrities actually created trendy brands. This business seemed to be good.

"How can we cooperate and help them sell trendy brands?" Chen Danlin said disapprovingly.

"My idea is this..." Qu Li talked about his plan for Danlin women's clothing. This year, he will sell other people's brands, and next year at the latest, he will build his own brand and let manufacturers produce it.

"Didn't we go to ZARA in Xiangjiang last time? The clothes in their store are changed every week, and all old models are returned every month. If their model is copied to the Internet for e-commerce, do you think it will be successful?

Will it succeed?"

"What if we can't sell out the goods so quickly?" Chen Danlin was a little worried.

"Why are you paying attention to these? As long as the profit is high, it doesn't matter if we throw away everything that can't be sold. The point is that we can surprise consumers every week or even every day..."

"How many styles of clothes are needed, and how can they be designed and produced?"

"Don't worry about so much, just tell me if there was such a store, would you like it and would you visit it often?"

"It should be possible, it will be!"

"That's good. As long as we are sure that there is no problem in this direction, we can work hard in this direction from now on, solve a small problem every year, and in ten years we can realize our current dream..." It's like painting a cake to win blood.

The more you listen, the more you see, the more you learn without a teacher

Chen Danlin didn't know Qu Li's "evil intentions". She just felt that he was too smart and had too many ideas. If he could realize them, he would really be able to live and feed well...

Well, Chen Danlin’s knowledge limits her imagination. Things in the world are not easy to see. Things can turn upside down in a matter of seconds. If online ZARA and Uniqlo can really succeed, they will have a market value of hundreds of billions, and they will not only have a worry-free life.

"My sister Chen Danni graduated from high school this year. She didn't go to college and wants to work. I think..."

"you say……"

Chen Danlin hesitated for a while and said: "I want her to live here and help us!"

"Do you think it's suitable? From now on we..." Qu Li was totally unwilling. He was just pursuing Chen Danlin out of lust. They have been together for almost a year, but they still have feelings for each other. Moreover, the young and strong young man has so much energy.

Abundant, everyone who has experienced it knows it.

"Then I have no better way. I can't enjoy happiness..."

"How about we buy a suite of products, wait for Dani to learn how to open an online store with us, and then help her open an online store of her own." Qu Li decisively gave her own solution.

"Buy a house?"

"The current house price is about 5,000, and it may rise to 50,000 in a few years. The 20% down payment is less stressful. Our current cash flow is relatively abundant..."

The sales revenue of Danlin Women's Clothing Store in July reached 250,000 yuan, with a net profit of 60,000 yuan. However, it has hired a few more people, and it is unknown how much profit it will make next month.

Qu Li and the others don't know how to predict the future now. The funds on the Taobao account associated with Danlin Women's Clothing exceed 500,000 yuan, including payment for goods, express fees, employee wages, etc. Among them, there should be 200,000 yuan belonging to the two of them.

I don’t know if it’s enough for the down payment.

"But didn't you say that after registering the company, we have to pay taxes on time, and our profits will be reduced?" Chen Danlin was still very worried.

"We are registered as an e-commerce company and are a technology company. The tax rate is very low, 15%. It should be enough for two more months. You can make reservations now." Qu Li knows that there is no perfect way in this world, and it is necessary to provide protection to the country.

Yes, but who puts himself in trouble? Butt has decided his position. He is not a keyboard warrior now, and he can naturally save money when he really starts a business.

"Really, where are you going to buy a house?" Chen Danlin suddenly became excited.

"Anyway, we can't buy houses with small property rights from villagers in the town. Let's buy houses in the school district."

"What is a school district room?"

"It's the houses around the school. Good schools will give priority to students from the local community. When we have children..."

"Who has children with you?"

"Can you still talk properly!"

Chen Danlin pursed her lips and said nothing, while Qu Li continued to enjoy the future. If it weren't for the bull market in A-shares, which was really eye-catching, the prices of many stocks had increased tenfold, and some of the stocks he selected had risen forty or fifty times.

The housing prices in Yangcheng are a mystery among first-tier cities. They are not only volatile, but also unstable. The housing prices in 1997 were even higher than in 2005. Do you think it is an exaggeration? It is not as good as the housing prices in other first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, where big changes are rare.

callback.

The future is bright. Chen Danlin fell asleep with a smile. Qu Li also felt very satisfied. This was a feeling she had never had before. If you make others happy, you will be happy too!

The next day, Qu Li asked about the details of Chen Danlin’s family. Her family is actually at the junction of Luzhou, Chongqing and Guizhou in Sichuan Province. She has grandparents and three brothers. She has an older brother and older sister, a younger brother and a younger sister.

Sister, don’t ask why you are not an only child but why you have five brothers and sisters. The question is that it is a remote rural area and no one in the family is a cadre.

"You are so lucky to have all your brothers and sisters!" Qu Li was full of envy.

"That's right, don't look at who I am." Chen Danlin looked arrogant.

"But the luckiest thing for you is that you met me..."

"Who said that? The most unlucky thing for me is that I followed you so quickly..." Chen Danlin said disdainfully, pushing Qu Li away with a look of disgust.

"What did you say..." Qu Li shouted angrily. He went against the grain by not teaching her a lesson. Within a short time, the room was in a mess.
