The high-speed train departs from Shangjing and reaches Daicheng in more than an hour.
Lu Cheng was not clean when he returned home because many people came to pay New Year greetings. He had to go out to return the gifts and also went to Jiang's house to pay New Year greetings.
Huang Yingyi is both his mother-in-law and his graduate tutor.
He found a car and pulled out a round table with a diameter of two meters, six chairs, and a retro writing desk. When he placed these furniture outside Jiang's house, the furniture gave off a golden luster and attracted a lot of attention.
Neighbors came over to watch, including some who came out to pay New Year greetings.
Many people were talking around the furniture:
"What kind of wood is this? Why is it so beautiful?"
"Did you apply gold powder on it?"
"Did you use special paint?"
"This seems to be golden nanmu! I saw an advertisement on TV two days ago. I heard that there is a woodware factory in Daicheng that produces a batch of golden nanmu furniture. This thing is very expensive, easily worth tens of millions!
"
Jiang Fangsheng opened the door and saw the furniture. His eyes also shone, and he thought to himself: "This son-in-law is really awesome! He actually gave me such a high-end gift!"
Someone next to me asked: "Mr. Jiang, who is this young man? Why do I give you such a heavy New Year's gift?"
Someone not far away laughed and said, "You are really a mortal! As a native of Daicheng, even Lu Cheng doesn't know you!"
"Lu Cheng? It sounds familiar."
"You live in a mountain village? Do you have internet access at home? How come you don't even know about such a big thing?"
Another person said: "Congratulations to Mr. Jiang, you have such a good son-in-law!"
Someone echoed: "How enviable! During the Chinese New Year, I will give you tens of millions of dollars in gifts! This young man is not an easy person!"
Jiang Qiuyun came over and twisted his arm: "Humph! You are acting strange again! Why don't you send the furniture directly to your home? Why put it outside!" What she meant was: "You have storage equipment, and I also have storage equipment.
My parents also have amulets, and they are not afraid of you showing off your ability to store things. Why do you put the furniture outside? Isn’t this intentional for people to see?"
Lu Cheng didn't mean to show it to others, but it was out of habit. In addition, there was already more furniture in the room, and he couldn't put it away when he suddenly moved it in.
Jiang Fangsheng is coming to move the table.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Dad, don't move, let us come."
"The desk looks heavy. Can it be moved?"
"no problem."
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun carefully moved the furniture out of the house and moved the new furniture in.
Jiang Fangsheng liked that writing table very much. He stretched out his hand to touch the tabletop and said with a smile: "If I write on such a table, I can improve my calligraphy skills by at least 20%!"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "How can it be! Dad, you are too exaggerated!"
Lu Cheng said: "It is really possible! This is not an ordinary golden nanmu. The pattern on it is similar to the 'Thunder Cloud Pattern'. Observing it more will help you understand the way of heaven."
Jiang Qiuyun asked: "What to do with the furniture left outside?"
Lu Cheng originally wanted to say: "I'll take it with me when I leave."
Jiang Fangsheng said, "I'll post a post in the friend group and if anyone needs it, I'll drag it away."
So Lu Cheng left it alone.
I went into the room and sat for a while, talking about the Spring Festival Gala.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "I saw you on TV. You were standing on the stage, wearing sportswear and no makeup. You looked a bit silly."
Lu Cheng said: "What's so stupid! That's called simplicity and simplicity! It's both popular and professional!"
"Where is it popular? Where is it special?"
"Take responsibility for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! Strive for glory for the Olympics and keep fit! A strong youth will make a country strong, and a wise youth will make a country wise. The sky is blue and the earth is yellow. Even though there are thousands of years, there are eight wastes. The future is like the sea, and the future is long.
!”
"Huh? How do you remember these words?"
"Hey, I'll remember it after reading it once."
"You are 25 years old, you are still a teenager!"
"If I could live to be 160, wouldn't I still be a teenager at 25?"
Jiang Qiuyun remembered what he said, practicing "Three Flowers Gathering Five Qi Chaoyuan" could live 300 years. When she heard that 160 years old, she felt it was normal.
The two bickered and grinded their teeth for half an hour before Lu Cheng returned to the Mid-level Villa.
He began to cut the 20 rough jade stones. In order to buy these rough stones, he spent 130 million.
He used a cutting machine to remove the skin and reveal the jade flesh.
Sure enough, among the 20 rough stones, there were 10 waxy ice types, 6 ice types, 3 high ice types, and 1 glass type.
These rough stones are relatively large, at least 30 kilograms or more, and the largest one is 280 kilograms. After grinding off the skin and cutting off the stone, the remaining jade materials add up to a considerable amount. The disadvantage is that there are not many high-quality pigments.
Lu Cheng knows that this is a normal thing. It is very rare to find a piece of high-ice color material in a rough stone store. Colorful glass materials are as scarce as rare flowers. This is the market in 2029.
There are fewer and fewer good jadeite rough stones. Because of the use of large machines for mining in recent years, many mines have been dug out.
Then, he took out the "Water Escape Talisman" and the "Earth Escape Talisman" and pondered for a while.
"I can't try these two talismans easily, because there is no air underground, and I haven't advanced to the innate level yet. I will be out of breath when I get underground, and it is easy to suffocate to death underground. Unless I bring an oxygen bottle!"
So, he put away these two kinds of jade talismans. He would not use them easily unless absolutely necessary.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the seventh day of the first lunar month, which is February 20th.
Early that morning, Lu Cheng drove to pick up Jiang Qiuyun, rushed to the high-speed rail station, and took the first train to Shanghai.
They sat in first class because it was still during the Spring Festival and there were not many people around.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Did you know that among the current novel websites, Fanghua Novel Network occupies half of the sky for female channels, and Chinese Novel Network is the main male channel. Fanghua Novel Network is also a listed company, and its current market value is similar to that of Hanwen."
Lu Cheng asked: "I remember that there is also a channel for girls in Chinese, right?"
"It originally existed, but later it was sold to Fanghua Novel Network. Fanghua Novel Network also merged with a number of novel websites, and its original male videos were sold to Hanwen, and only the female videos were retained."
"Are you the youthful Nanpowan now?"
"In 2028, although I have very high subscriptions for several books, my total income is not the first, but only the third."
"Who's number one?"
"Jia Yuanchun."
"Why is it called such a name?"
"It's a pen name, my real name is Huang Sigu."
"Haha, this name is even weirder."
"Sigu Huang is a veteran author. She currently has ten books online, so her income is relatively high. Three of her books have been made into movies and TV series."
"Is this man forty years old?"
"I don't know. It always happens when you are in your thirties."
Lu Cheng asked again: "Who is second?"
Jiang Qiuyun replied: "The second name 'Guo Hongxiu' is her real name. She is also an old author."
Lu Cheng asked again: "Why does the novel website hold an annual meeting?"
"Because it is a listed company, it needs to promote its business, publicize its achievements, and reward authors."
"So there's a bonus?"
Jiang Qiuyun replied: "Yes, this time, options will be awarded directly to great writers. According to last year's income, one option will be awarded for every 10,000 yuan of income. Options are not equal to stocks. They are a right to purchase stocks. The exercise price is
5.4 yuan per share. One lot is 100 shares.”
Lu Cheng asked: "What is its current stock price?"
"The current stock price is 18 yuan."
"In other words, it's 70% cheaper."
"My subscription income last year was 88 million, and rewards were 37 million. Including TV drama licensing fees, and peripheral development of audio comics and the like, the total income was 220 million. To exercise the option and buy shares, I need to spend 11.88 million."
"This is equivalent to increasing the capital of Fanghua Novel Network."
"Well, maybe someone gave up on exercising their rights."
Lu Cheng said with a smile: "I won't give up and buy it! This little money is nothing."
This was the first time he knew about Jiang Qiuyun's financial situation. These were only the income from Fanghua Novel Network. There were also two books, including "Ruan Lang Gui" and "Barefoot Ah Zhen". They took the physical publishing route, and the income did not include
Inside.
He thought to himself: "This girl is a treasure trove. Writing novels is not a one-time deal. Just like Jin Yong, his novels have been filmed and remade again and again, and I don't know how many times they have been remade."
Similarly, Jiang Qiuyun knew that he bought jade, made endorsements, and sent jade items to auctions, but she didn't know exactly how much money he made. She didn't need to know clearly, anyway, she had many top-notch jade bracelets in her hands.
!
Jiang Qiuyun thought to herself: "Although there are only thirty or so of those jade bracelets, according to Lu Cheng, each one can be worth hundreds of millions if it is auctioned. Holding these jade bracelets is like squeezing his balls, humming
, I know this person likes jade." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
The high-speed train flies by.
Arrive at Magic City at 9:30. Take a 1-hour taxi to Rockbund Art Museum, where the annual meeting is held.
When I walked in, I saw that the spacious exhibition hall was full of people.
On the stage directly in front, a cultural program is being held.
As soon as Jiang Qiuyun arrived, she was welcomed by the organizer into the small hall next to her.
Lu Cheng activated the "Disguise Talisman", slightly changed his appearance, sat down in the hall, and watched the performance quietly.
The performers at the beginning were just young actors, but after 10:30, some well-known celebrities appeared.
Lu Cheng felt the exaggeration of star chasing for the first time. When several heavyweight movie stars including Zhang Yuehua appeared on the stage, the momentum was not only overwhelming, but it also made people's ears roar.
A group of female fans and male fans screamed wildly.
Then the writers came on stage one by one and started meeting with fans. Compared with those celebrities, the Internet literary masters are really inconspicuous.
In the final analysis, actors are selected from thousands of people. Regardless of their figure or face, they are all heartthrobs. Although female writers are smart, most of them are not very photogenic. They do not have the face of a fish-like duck, and because they remain seated for a long time,
And it is difficult to have a slim figure.
In other words, most fans come for the actors, not for the Internet celebrity.
The official time of the annual meeting is three hours. Looking at the whole article, it mainly revolves around the core of IP.
The awards for novels and awards for actors were mixed, and big stars came on stage several times. More or less, they all appeared in film and television works adapted from Fanghua's IP. And depending on the situation, there will be no shortage of cooperation with Fanghua in the future.
As far as the author is concerned, there are indeed many great people coming, and all the female fans are dressed up to attend.
There are thirty or forty great gods on Fanghua Novel Network. These people have different divinities and are arranged according to their annual income. Those with lower incomes will appear first, and those with higher incomes will appear later.
In addition to the appearance of writers and awards in various aspects, there are also guest performances interspersed. The organizer hired first-class singers and bands, and famous singers sang live, which was quite enjoyable.
This annual meeting is an IP achievement display or promotion meeting.
Fanghua Novel Network needs traffic to further open up the market, and celebrities also need these occasions to show their presence.
However, what Lu Cheng really wanted to see was an annual meeting centered on authors. In the end, he did not see such an effect. Of course, this was only the first day. Tomorrow there will be offline exchanges with great masters, both before and after the event.
After dinner and exchanges, they can more or less find like-minded people.
The real annual meeting is only in the audience, and the stage is just a stage for performances.
Jiang Qiuyun appeared on the stage at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. When she appeared, she was greeted with cheers from fans. Although she is a newcomer, she is the king of the small world of female channels because her average subscription is already the highest. Her
Her peerless appearance added to her absolute appeal. Not only the fans in the audience cheered, but even the movie stars present took the initiative to take photos with her.
With a smile on her face, Zhang Yuehua stepped forward to hug her, praising her as more beautiful than the movie star Tong Lili of the previous generation, and saying that she was his noble one.
She was able to get the lead role in "The White-Headed Man Under the Lamp" because Jiang Qiuyun helped speak for her. With this TV series, she has returned to the ranks of first-class actresses.
The rest of the actresses also came on stage, including several new generation florets, especially the filming of "Feng Yue Huang Mei Yu" was almost finished, in which the leading actress Luo Wenying and several supporting actors came on stage to hug Jiang Qiuyun.
The fans below were screaming and taking photos and videos!
"I've only heard that Yun Ji is a beautiful author, but I didn't expect her appearance to reach this level! Standing next to a popular movie star, not only is she not inferior at all, but she is also far superior to everyone else."
"Yes, Luo Wenying is a popular movie star. She is 23 years old this year. She claims to be 1.72 meters tall. However, standing next to Yun Ji, she is not as tall as Yun Ji! In terms of appearance and manners, Yun Ji is also taller.
Better than that! Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color! Oh my, I fell in love with Yun Ji after just one look. What should I do? Who will save me? "
There are both male and female fans. Female fans love Yun Ji’s works, while male fans love her appearance.
A reporter interviewed Jiang Qiuyun on the spot: "Miss Yunji, most of the people here today are your fans. On behalf of these people, let me ask a question that everyone is concerned about. Do you have a regular boyfriend? It's the Olympic champion Lu Cheng.
? Why didn’t he accompany you to the annual meeting? Did he not dare to come because he was afraid of being beaten up by male fans? "
Jiang Qiuyun glanced at him and said with a smile: "He's here, he's sitting under the stage."
"Ah? Really? Mr. Lu is invited to come on stage!"
The fans in the audience looked left and right, but they did not recognize Lu Cheng.
The host on the stage is also calling: "Lu Cheng is invited to come on stage. Mr. Lu, you are a national idol. Please come out and say a word to everyone, okay?"
