Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 301 Regret
Ning Xin's "codewriting career", or to put it "noble", his struggle did not only last until his son Ning Jun had an accident.

In fact, after his son's accident, Ning Xin spent a period of time "working harder" on writing and creating.He longed for a miracle. Not only did his son miraculously wake up, but also his book was picked up by a powerful publisher. After some careful packaging and supplemented by marketing planning, his book miraculously sold well.

Earn a lot of money so that you can provide your son with better medical conditions.

Therefore, during that time, Ning Xin's "diligent writing" was obvious to all.He himself is retired at home, and he and his wife come to take care of their son. To squeeze in leisure time, it is actually much more "leisure" than working.There is also more time.

In this case, Ning Xin has truly entered the peak period of "production" of creation.

He can create 4 novels in one month.Of course, the number of words in each novel cannot be guaranteed to be more than 30, and the average number of words in each novel is about 20.

This is also an extremely scary number.It is equivalent to creating 80 words in one month.

I write 2.6 words every day.

If this amount of creativity is placed on young writers in the "Internet Age", it is not worth making a fuss about.After all, online writers, even if they are "hands and disabled", can maintain an update speed of more than 6000 words in a few days.If you change to a "handy" veteran, you can code 2.6 words a day. Although it is not easy, it is not impossible.

But what is the situation in Ningxin?

This guy is already an old man who has reached the age of retirement, and he doesn't know how to use computers. He only knows how to use a ballpoint pen to write a manuscript word by word on the manuscript paper.

He didn't dare to write in illegible handwriting, otherwise the editor of the publishing company would not be able to understand your handwriting, and that would be a big trouble.Ning Xin didn't have the time or spare money to hire someone to input the "manuscript" into the computer for him and print it into a book.

Even if you have a hard tooth, ask the children of relatives to help print the manuscript of his novel, but if the handwriting is too rough, the children of relatives will not be able to understand it.From time to time, I take the manuscript and ask him, "What is that word? What is this word?" This also greatly affects work efficiency.

Not only can his typing speed not increase, but Ning Xin himself has to constantly create new novels, and his "training of thought" has to be interrupted repeatedly, so what else can he do?

It will greatly affect the writing speed.

Therefore, when Ning Xin wrote the first manuscript (actually, it was the only one. There is no second or third manuscript, let alone the Nth manuscript. There is only this one manuscript from beginning to end), he must ensure that his handwriting is neat.

Fortunately, Ning Xin himself has been keen on calligraphy since he was a child, and his calligraphy is pretty good.At least it can ensure that nothing is difficult to identify.In this way, it saves you the trouble of copying again.

While taking care of his son, he writes like his life.This crazy state, Ning Xin probably lasted for more than a year.

Then, it stopped "suddenly".

It was not the high-intensity working conditions that made Ning Xin suddenly fall ill.After all, he was born in the military and has excellent physical fitness.Especially as he gets older, his thin figure has become a major guarantee for his health.As the saying goes, "It's hard to buy old age and lose weight if you have money."

In this case, even if Ning Xin's wife who is gaining weight is sick, Ning Xin will not be sick.

Not only did he not get sick, but in that year, he managed to "code" more than 80 million words in his one-year creative career, which ensured 6 words per month, but he felt his body became stronger and stronger.I only guarantee [-] hours of sleep a day, but I don't feel sleepy at all.

Every day when I work, I feel so radiant.

There is a reason why he only maintained the ultra-intense working condition for one year.

Because after a year, his family will not be "worrying about money" much.Money, at that time, was already too much for his family to worry about.

That year was the year when the website run by her daughter Ning Ting became popular.In just one year, not only the initial investment was recovered, but also profits that were several times the amount of investment were made.

This is a relatively rare case in the history of website development.

You must know that many famous websites, game apps, and social apps in later generations have lost money for many years in a row, and the founders have to doubt the extent of their lives because of the losses. This is "trading time for space" , Accumulate a large number of loyal customers and open up the market, and then wait until the opportunity period arrives, quickly occupy the market, and directly enter the "harvest period".

And Ning Ting is very lucky.The mobile phone client news APP she founded was able to develop and occupy the market within one year, and even quickly recovered the considerable capital invested previously.

Like Ning Xin, he thought he got a "good price" that was rare in decades, and directly sold the "old house" that he had lived in for decades for 300 million.Take out 200 million to support her daughter's business.According to the most optimistic expectations of the elderly, it is estimated that it will take at least ten or eight years to "return the capital" and then enter the stage of "mean profits".It is estimated that it will take 20 years for news websites to make a lot of money.

Ning Xin thinks this is quite normal.Although he doesn't understand websites, he feels that running a "news website" should be similar to running a newspaper, right? !Thinking of the newspapers and other news media he loved to read in the past, which one didn't take more than 10 years to slowly open up the market and occupy the market?
It would be great if my daughter founded this news website and could gain a little profit from the many "predecessors" and "forerunners" and gain a foothold. What's not to like about starting to make big money after 20 years?
You must know that Ning Xin's true form is a classic image of "forbearance turns into steel".

After writing "words and rubbish" for almost 30 years, he can still maintain his "original intention" and consistently fight for the slim hope of success.

Ning Xin is not "professional" to engage in the "career" he is passionate about.

Moreover, in the process of "amateur creation", he always insisted on a "zero risk" reason.That is to say, no matter how many novels he writes, he is sure of one thing: that is, he will never invest money in it and print and publish his own books.

Tsk tsk, printing a book requires an investment of at least tens of thousands before it can be made into a "finished book".

After printing, if he prints thousands of copies at a time, should he be allowed to "set up a street stall to sell books" by himself?Otherwise, where would the sales channels be?
Publishing a book at one's own expense requires tens of thousands of "advance funds" for one book, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to print ten books.If you print a hundred of his books, you will get several million.

You must know that Ning Xin owns the "original copyright" of nearly 500 books (it's a pity that no one appreciates it). If all of these are published "at their own expense", how much will it cost?Two or 3000 million is always needed, right?Where does he have so much money? !

In addition, if a book needs to be published at its own expense, at least two or three thousand copies should be printed, right? 500 "original novels", the total print run has reached an astonishing one or two million copies.

So many books are stacked in the "warehouse" of the printing factory, which is not very conspicuous.But stacking it in a private "self-built house" takes up a lot of space.

In a word, Ning Xin’s family sold their “old house” for “emergency” at that time, so where is there room to pile up an astonishing number of books printed “at their own expense”?
Various restrictive factors made it impossible for Ning Xin to publish a book at his own expense.I don't have that much capital, and I don't want to take this kind of risk.

Out of love for his daughter, Ning Xin directly raised 200 million for her to start a business.This is a super high treatment that even he himself is reluctant to "enjoy".Under such a situation, what reason does the daughter have not to work hard?
In the end, Ning Ting also "lived up to expectations".In other words, her "explosive power" far exceeded ordinary people's imagination, and she actually achieved the "height" that Ning Xin estimated would take her 20 years to reach within one year.

After her daughter became successful, she certainly did not forget her parents.What worries her most is that her parents will be "homeless" after selling their house.

With sufficient funds, she immediately bought a rather large "villa" in the "Emperor Capital" for her parents.In addition, I borrowed 200 million yuan from my father to start a business, and my daughter directly repaid 1 million yuan, which was stored in the bank card and handed over to the parents for safekeeping.

It is precisely because of the astonishing "miracle" created by her daughter during this year that Ning Xin's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

He is not a person who loves "writing" so much that he desperately wants to create an "immortal classic novel" even if the "oil is exhausted".

To put it bluntly, Ning Xin's so-called hard work in writing is nothing more than "making money", making a lot of money, a lot of money that can make his family rich.

The results of it?He has worked hard for 30 years and failed to achieve his goal, leaving only regrets and countless manuscripts.

At this time, the daughter suddenly "smashed" 1000 million to him, directly "smashing him unconscious".

Ning Xin didn't have any idea of ​​"eating the old but not changing", and immediately became very "knowledgeable" and stopped talking about "writing".

Not only did he no longer mention it verbally, but in fact he no longer "scribbled at his desk".

Nonsense, can't he settle accounts?
He followed the traditional way of "publishing books" to make money, not to mention wasting 30 years, the book was not published, even if it was published by luck, according to his previous understanding of the market, it is not bad if a book can print tens of thousands of copies .

For a book with more than 20 words, the price will not be too high.If he can earn 2 yuan in "royalty" per volume, it is equivalent to earning 2 yuan from publishing a book.He has written nearly 500 books, and Ning Xin's most optimistic expectation was to successfully publish 200 of them.Two hundred books, earning RMB 2 each, and I would be "satisfied" if I could earn Ningxin 400 million in the end.

In fact, he made a big joke with him.

In the end, the number of books that Ning Xin can publish is not 500, not 200, not 100, not 20... or even 2!
None of his books have been officially published.

In this way, Ning Xin fell from the highest "expected value" of 400 million royalties to the "reality" where he didn't get a dime of royalties.

It's just so sad!
But what can be done? !
Fortunately, my daughter was upbeat and did not follow her father to study any liberal arts major.She, a "student master" woman, chose the economics and finance major of the highest institution, and started her own business after graduation.Soon, he made a fortune that no one else could have earned in a lifetime.

Ning Xin is both a little ashamed and extremely proud of her daughter's achievements.After all, this is his daughter who has successfully started a business with his 200 million financial support.Being a father has some merit.

From then on, Ning Xin put the so-called "writing" way on the shelf.Shut up and never mention it again.

In later generations, a friend of Liang Teng worked in a "funeral parlor".Just two years before Liang Teng was reborn, the old gentleman "Ning Xin" passed away due to illness.It happened that it was Liang Teng's friend who cremated the body of "Old Ning Xin".

According to friends who chatted about it at dinner afterwards, they were a little surprised.I said that I have never seen it before, but in accordance with the last wish of the "dead person", the family members moved all the manuscripts of nearly 500 novels and articles created in his life to the cremation room and burned them one by one.

近500部手稿啊，就算平均每部有25万字，那总字数就达到了惊人的1亿2千5百万字了。

Everything was burned.

It took a lot of time to burn.

At the scene illuminated by the flames, her daughter Ning Ting wept mournfully.If she knows that her father has a very "humble" wish, that is, that someone can really appreciate his books, it doesn't take much, as long as he appreciates one or two books, and is really willing to take the initiative and actively help him contact the publishing company, Get his book out.This is the greatest comfort in life for Ning Xin.

Far better than the comfort that money brought him.

Although his original intention of writing a book was to "publish books and sell money".But when a thing has been engaged in for 30 years, it is no longer simply "for making money" to explain its entire connotation.

Ning Xin has been "doing nothing" in his life, but he also has the mentality of a normal person who "desires to succeed".

It doesn't take much!As long as there are so many books he has written, as long as one of them can be appreciated and recognized by others, Ning Xin feels that his life will not be "in vain".

More precisely, his 30 years of hard work, if not in vain.

Now that he has money, publishing one or two of his own books only costs tens of thousands of dollars. Can't he afford it?
After he has money, publishing books is no longer a question of "money or not".It's a spiritual, more advanced stuff that hopes to be recognized.

But throughout Mr. Ning's life, no one really appreciated or recognized his books (including his daughter).

Ning Xin's book is not that high-end. The word "high-minded and modest" cannot be applied to him.On the contrary, it is too low-end.As a result, no one can take notice of him (including his daughter).

This cannot but be said to be Ning Xin's biggest regret in his life.

Until the time of his death, no one could understand his regret.He finally left with regret.

Perhaps it was at that time that the daughter really knew that her father had such a knot in her heart.But it was too late.It was too late to remedy.

The father passed away with regret, and the daughter will deeply blame herself for this for the rest of her life.I feel that my concern for my father is still too little!
