Chen Xinhan quickly sent the electronic contract.
The royalties for the new book and the reprinted version of the old book are the same, million, and there is an additional 600,000 signing bonus for the new book.
The total is million.
"Master Lin, the royalty payment will be transferred to you soon. In addition, 1,000 copies of the new book will be sent to you as soon as possible."
Chen Xinhan sent a message.
"Okay... send the new book to another location."
Lin Chen sent the new address to Chen Xinhan. His shop was ready, so there was no need to rent the old one.
"Okay, Master Lin."
Lin Chen looked at his bank card balance.
More than 10 million was used for the engagement, and it was originally slightly below 200 million. Adding the million, it could reach 220 million.
When he receives 10 million US dollars in overseas royalties.
The small money in his bank card will be close to 300 million.
This is much, much more compared to ordinary people.
But even 300 million is less than one percent of the Xu family's assets.
It is very, very difficult to make a lot of money through painting, calligraphy, basketball, football, cooking, fairy tales, etc. Earning ten or so hundreds of millions is already very, very good.
For example, painting.
If he only paints a small number of high-quality paintings, each one can sell for a good price, but if he paints a lot, the price will plummet, and those who bought the paintings will also be unhappy.
In comparison, fairy tales are quite good.
This market is quite large.
There will be a constant stream of children born every year.
Lin Chen calculated his skills. In the future, the only skill that can continuously make a lot of money is aircraft manufacturing.
When his technology is very strong, he can register some patents and earn a lot of money every year through patents.
If he works hard, he can also start his own company.
It's just that this skill also improves slowly.
Lin Xiaoxi's interest in folding paper airplanes is intermittent. It's been okay these past few days, but Lin Chen doesn't know how long Lin Xiaoxi's interest will last this time.
Of course, Lin Chen is not in a hurry.
It's not like he doesn't have enough money to spend, so it's best to let nature take its course.
"Ding!"
A WeChat message rang.
Lin Chen picked up his phone and saw that the message was sent by Xu Mengyao.
"Honey, does this outfit look good?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
She sent a photo.
Xu Mengyao looks beautiful no matter what she wears, let alone wearing carefully selected clothes.
Lin Chen sent a "hehe" expression.
"Wife, do you think it looks good? Look at my expression."
Xu Mengyao quickly sent a "rolling eyes" expression.
She called.
"Honey, I just called Mom, and Mom said that Old Xu called her to ask when we have time. Old Xu invited us to his home."
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen was surprised: "Why didn't Old Xu contact me directly?"
"I guess Old Xu wants to talk to you about painting. He may be embarrassed to contact you directly. Honey, are you free tomorrow? Shall we take Qianqian over?"
"Of course, I'm free."
Lin Chen said.
Old Xu is sick. He hasn't talked to Old Xu about this yet. Maybe he can talk about it a little tomorrow, but treating Old Xu needs to be done with caution.
The Xu family is not simple.
His current medical skills are only at the Grandmaster level, not even at the Great Grandmaster level. He can't afford to take responsibility if something goes wrong.
"Honey, then it's settled."
"Love you, bye-bye."
Xu Mengyao hung up the phone after speaking.
"Tsk tsk!"
Shen Qing suddenly popped out from behind Xu Mengyao, "Some people are really sweet with their husbands."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
"Qingqing, do you still want to freeload meals in the future?"
Shen Qing quickly said: "Yes, pretend I didn't say anything."
Xu Mengyao: "My clothes are bought. Qianqian doesn't lack clothes. Let's go shopping for men's clothing. I'll buy a few sets for Lin Chen. He doesn't have many clothes in his closet."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
In the evening, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi came out of the hotel.
He took Lin Xiaoxi swimming.
Lin Xiaoxi swam not in an ordinary swimming pool, but in a five-star hotel's heated swimming pool.
There are many people in ordinary swimming pools, and the water quality is not good. The five-star hotel's heated swimming pool that Lin Chen chose is very expensive, but it has its advantages. The water quality is not bad.
"Dad, stop for a moment."
Lin Xiaoxi suddenly said.
Lin Chen quickly pulled over and stopped the car.
"Qianqian, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked out the window: "Dad, look, there is an old grandpa there. He looks so pitiful. Can we help him?"
Lin Chen looked at the roadside across the street.
An eighty-year-old man was hunched over, very thin, carrying a large bamboo basket.
The basket contained some things he had picked up.
"Dad, can we help him?"
"I have money."
Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice.
Lin Chen nodded: "Of course, we can. It's good that Qianqian, you have a heart of gold. But outside, if Mom and Dad are not around, you can't help, okay?"
"Why?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
Lin Chen explained: "Some bad guys are very, very bad. They will take advantage of children's kindness. So, when helping others, you must be careful to protect yourself."
"Mmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoxi to the other side of the road.
"Old man, where is your family? You are so old. You are still working. Aren't your family worried?"
Lin Chen asked.
The old man put down the bamboo basket.
He said in a hoarse voice: "I have no family anymore. There is no way I can't work. People are iron, and food is steel. If I don't eat, I will be hungry. I have to go out and find something to eat."
Lin Chen was touched.
He is now having a good life because of an opportunity, but what has he given back to this society?
"Old grandpa, don't be sad."
"Dad, I have lucky money. Can you give the old grandpa ten hundreds?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked.
She learned addition and subtraction within ten in math, and whole numbers up to one hundred. Lin Chen hasn't taught her beyond that yet.
"Of course, we can."
Lin Chen nodded.
He put some cash in the car and just brought it down.
Lin Chen counted out two thousand yuan and handed it to the old man: "Old man, this is a little something from me and my daughter."
"Please take it."
The old man quickly said: "I can't, I can't. How can I take a child's money?"
Lin Chen put it in the old man's bamboo basket and quickly left.
"Thank you!"
The old man said loudly from behind.
"Qianqian, you taught Dad a lesson today."
Lin Chen said when he returned to the car.
Lin Xiaoxi asked in confusion: "Dad, what lesson?"
Lin Chen: "A life lesson."
"Dad, I don't understand."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Chen started the car and smiled: "Qianqian, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You will understand in the future."
Returned home.
Xu Mengyao has already returned.
"Mom, is my lucky money with you?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked.
Xu Mengyao nodded: "It's with me."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked: "Mom, do I have ten hundreds in my lucky money? I borrowed ten hundreds of money from Dad."
"Yes, you do."
"Honey, what's the situation?"
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said: "Qianqian saw a very pitiful old grandpa on the road. She gave me a lesson. She and I each gave the old grandpa one thousand yuan."
"Wife, do you know any reliable charitable foundations?"
