Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 282 283【Little Landlord】

   In July 2007, Xiao Meng took the third TV University exam and passed it smoothly.

  Xiang Nan also officially announced the creation plan of "Ghost Blowing Lantern II".

  "Ghost Blowing the Lantern I" was launched in the autumn of 2005 and ended in the autumn of 2006. This series of novels has gained a lot of attention.

  The cumulative sales volume of genuine books has reached more than 8 million copies. The click-through rate of Pirates on the Internet has exceeded 10 billion, and the sales of Pirates books have also reached nearly 100 million copies.

  There are hundreds of thousands of friends in Baidu Tieba alone, and tens of millions of posts are posted. They are more familiar with the slang words, terms, treasures, monsters, anecdotes, etc., and are even more familiar than Xiang Nan.

   It can be said that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern I" is the hottest and hottest book in 2006.

   And with this series of books, Xiang Nan has transformed from an unknown little guy into a famous best-selling novelist.

   Because of this, his "Ghost Blowing the Lantern II" is naturally particularly eye-catching.

  Book fans want to know what kind of thrilling adventures Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang Tiedan will embark on.

  The bookseller is more concerned about who Xiang Nan will give the copyright of this book to.

   You know, Hujiang Publishing House only got the publishing rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Ⅰ". Xiang Nan just promised them that he would write four novels. Now all four parts have been handed over to them, and the contract has ended.

  So, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern II" is now dry food without an owner, and it naturally attracted a lot of looting.

  …

  After some comparisons, Xiang Nan finally chose to cooperate with the Writer Publishing House.

  One, it is an established publishing house with strong strength and wide distribution channels. "Ghost Blowing the Lantern II" is handed over to it, and it will have good sales.

  Secondly, the percentage of royalties it gives is relatively high. When Xiang Nan was a newcomer, the royalty share was only 10%. And he is now a best-selling author, and he holds such a hot IP as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so this time the royalty share has been increased to 20%.

  For a writer who has just debuted for two years, it can be said that it is very good to be able to get this percentage.

  Actually, Xiang Nan has already completed "Ghost Blowing the Lantern II".

  This novel is only one million words in volume, which is not considered a huge work. Xiang Nan has been writing intermittently since the end of "Coiling Dragon" last year.

  The reason why it was not released immediately was mainly because I wanted to wait for the popularity of "Ghost Blowing Lantern Ⅰ" to ferment before launching it. Only in this way can the highest profit be obtained.

   Now that he signed a contract with the Writers Publishing House, Xiang Nan immediately took out "Ghost Blowing the Lantern II Yellow Pizi Grave" and handed it over to them for distribution, and thus received an advance payment of 500,000 RMB.

  Combining the income he earned from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern I" and "Coiling Dragon", Xiang Nan has earned nearly 20 million yuan, which can be said to be very rich.

  And he invested all the money in the real estate market. Yanjing City only began to restrict purchases a year ago. Before that, as long as you have money, you can buy a house in Yanjing.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan invested 90% of his funds in the Yanjing property market.

  Now he holds more than 20 properties in his hands. Among them are not only small houses of sixty to seventy square meters, but also townhouses, single-family villas, duplex bungalows, and even a small courtyard house.

   It can be said that he can be regarded as a small landlord.

  …

  In August, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern II Huang Pizi Grave" was officially launched, attracting the rush of book fans again.

  The sales volume reached 300,000 copies in the first week, which is quite shocking.

  As for this book, the comments of book friends are also very good, thinking that Xiang Nan's imagination is still amazing. Moreover, "Yellow Pizi Grave" mixes various folk tales, which is quite local and mysterious, and can be called the Middle-earth version of "Harry Potter".

  …

  Xiang Nan planned to move to Yanjing after Xiaomeng got his graduation certificate from TV University.

   First, they live in Kaiyuan City, which is still too close to Ivory Mountain. Xie Guangkun still came to interrupt occasionally. Urge them to have children quickly, tell them not to waste money, in short, it is still very annoying. If you move to Yanjing, you will be far away from Yuan City, and your ears will be quieter.

  Secondly, Yanjing is much more prosperous than Kaiyuan City after all. The supply of materials is more sufficient, and various resources are also more abundant. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good area, living there is naturally better than Kaiyuan City.

  …

  Compared to Xiangnan's success, the operation of Ivory Mountain Hot Spring Resort is a bit troublesome.

At the beginning, because of its good publicity and the hot springs as a gimmick, many people who love to travel in the Liaoshen area took advantage of the cold weather to come to soak in the hot springs, enjoy the snow scenery, and taste the hot springs. Tasting the rustic taste of the countryside, they think it is quite attractive.

  But after coming here, I realized that the price of the resort is a bit high. A standard room for two people costs 300 yuan, and a room of the same size costs 150 yuan in Kaiyuan City, which is twice as expensive.

  Chicken stewed mushrooms, a home-cooked dish, usually only twenty or thirty in restaurants, but here it costs eighty. Stick noodle pancakes cost no more than 30 cents, and they sell for 5 yuan here. Not to mention that if you want to soak in hot springs, you have to spend extra money.

   This makes tourists very dissatisfied, thinking that they have been cheated. Therefore, it took only half a year for the brand of Ivory Mountain Hot Spring Resort to stink.

  The number of tourists is getting less and less day by day, making the villa gradually unable to make ends meet, which embarrasses the general manager Wang Musheng.

   You know, when he took over the stall at the beginning, he made a guarantee with his father that he would definitely manage the villa well. For this reason, he set the price high in order to make the accounts beautiful and show his talent.

  But now that tourists are decreasing and losses are increasing, this is a bit troublesome. Once his father finds out that his resort is going to be ruined within a year of opening, then he must be punished.

  Maybe when the time comes, his father will get him a little brother to come out and compete with him for power. But he heard from Xiangxiu that Xie Dajiao'er was about to get pregnant.

  For a woman to have a child at the age of forty, although there are risks, it is not impossible. His father is also growing strong, he really made a younger brother for him. At that time, he will be in trouble.

   Therefore, in order to conceal his incompetence, he can only forge accounts and falsely report profits in order to maintain the prosperity of the mask. But in fact, even the common people in Ivory Mountain feel that the villa is lonely.

  When there were so many tourists before, Liu Neng Supermarket was also crowded, with a maximum turnover of more than 8,000 a day. Now, only the villagers come to consume, and the daily turnover is only one or two hundred, which is far from the old nose.

  Before, Wang Laoqi made ten boards of tofu a day and supplied them to the villa, but now he can't even make one board a day. It can be seen how lonely he is.

  However, although the villagers felt that something was wrong, they didn't have any ideas, which could help the villa come back to life. It's just a sigh of relief when chatting occasionally.

   Thanks for the reward from the book friend Almighty Universe, thank you~
