Chapter 129 The Budget for Buying a Car
The feeling of turning the green light was very good. Lin Han just waited for half an hour and got his certificate. This set of procedures completely subverted his understanding of the efficiency of these institutions.
"Sister Zhang, next Monday, I will go there to report directly to receive the admission guest ID or do I need to come here?"
Lin Han didn't want to keep running like this, it was a waste of time. He would rather sleep in and attend the exhibition on Monday morning.
Zhang Wenya, who was processing the follow-up documents, smiled and said, "Just go directly to the venue. We have a dedicated staff to distribute guest work cards there. Your name and photos will be on the work cards, just find the place."
There will definitely be no high-end laboratories at the exhibition site. Most of them should be practical or fruitful displays, so Lin Han did not have much hope.
He just wanted to increase his knowledge in the past and realize that it was the best for people. It didn't matter if he couldn't. It was better to go out and do activities than to stay at home and write novels all the time.
Walking out of the air-conditioned house, a wave of heat instantly wrapped Lin Han, and a dazzling light shrouded the earth.
Standing at the taxi boarding and getting off passengers, Lin Han waited for a long time but didn't wait for an empty car to come. There were passengers in these cars passing by.
He was unwilling to share a car with people, and there was no driver who took the order with a taxi software. He said to himself: "You have to buy a car, otherwise you really can't survive."
After looking through the eyes, a car finally stopped in front of him. It happened that someone was about to get off here, so it happened to be cheaper Lin Han.
After sitting in the back seat, Lin Han began to think about buying a car. Chen Jiaxuan is so busy that she definitely has no time to buy a car with her. Besides, she may not know much about the car.
So he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his friend Wang Hao: "Mr. Hao, do you have time today and tomorrow? Let's accompany me to buy a car."
"How about tomorrow morning?" Wang Hao's reply was also very fast, almost instantly.
"Yes, let's meet in the Asian Games Village. There are many 4S stores there, so we can watch it slowly."
"No problem, just buy a scooter, which is convenient for travel."
Lin Han never thought about pursuing luxury and luxury. Now he just hates not enough money, and he is reluctant to give up so much money to buy a car.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of travel, Lin Han wouldn't have this idea. He wished he could sell more novels now and give himself a little more royalty.
If you want to shoot science fiction movies on your own, sufficient funds are the most important condition. It is not wise to spend too much money on the car, not to mention that he has not yet obtained the royalties.
Although "I, Robot" has sold million copies abroad, due to the complexity of cross-border settlement, it will take at least two months for him to get the first month's royalties.
The same is true for domestic sales of "Mars Rescue", which is considered to be far-reaching and cannot quench near thirst. What he can get in May is the sales of "I, Robot" in China in March.
This is basically a special instruction, otherwise ordinary authors would not have received the money so quickly.
The publishing house and channel dealers will clarify the settlement period in the contract. Generally speaking, the settlement period of private wholesale channels is 3-4 months, the Xinhua Bookstore channel is 6-December, and the e-commerce channel is 4-5 months.
When the settlement period expires, through the reconciliation work of both parties, the channel dealer will either return the payment to the publishing house or return the goods.
It can be said that Lin Han’s current manuscript fee is paid in advance by the People’s Congress publishing god. The publishing house will first pay the manuscript fee to Lin Han, and then settle it with the dealer.
The sales of the book "I, Robot" in March have actually entered a period of fatigue. It is not as fierce as it was when it was released in January, nor is it the recovery driven by the hot sales of the English version in May, and it only sold 180,000 copies in a month.
The royalties settled by the entity are only 810,000 yuan, plus the 230,000 yuan in electronic channels, he also has to pay a tax and get a commission from Chen Jiaxuan's agent, and in the end, only 620,000 yuan was in his hand.
No matter how popular "Martian Rescue" is now, he can't get a penny, so he still has to take out his previous savings to make up for it.
...
The next day, Lin Han brought his wallet and cell phone to the Asian Games Village. He wanted to drive his car back to the community. Yesterday, he rented a fixed parking space in the community, and the price was not cheap.
Wang Hao was wearing a T-shirt of an anime character and didn't care about his image at all. After seeing Lin Han, he punched: "You are doing so well now. I can see your news on CCTV. After I transfer to the Science and Education Channel, I will definitely invite you to participate in our program and give me a favor."
"Don't you shoot a TV series?" Lin Han was a little surprised. He had just filmed the TV series version of "Journey to the West", so he should take advantage of the victory and remove the word before the assistant director.
"Oh, it's too tiring to shoot TV series. I'm suitable for working in a TV station. Last time I went around shooting around the country, my mother couldn't see me. Now I'm asking me to go to the TV station to be the director of a program team. I don't know which column to transfer to."
As a local tycoon in Yanjing, Wang Hao could live a good life even if he didn't work.
Lin Han still felt a little regretful, "You are now shooting "Journey to the West" with a very high starting point and qualifications. You are from a professional director department and have also followed a large crew. It is no problem if you accept some smaller TV series directing. It would be a pity to give up now."
"It's nothing pity. You don't know. I'm very casual." Wang Hao said without saying anything, "Stop talking about me, just talk about you. Such a big science fiction writer has to buy a luxury car, otherwise he won't deserve your identity."
"What luxury car should I buy? Just have a transportation tool. I am very short of money and I am almost worried." Lin Han sighed while walking forward.
It was Wang Hao's turn to be surprised, "Are you still short of money? Although I don't know what the royalties you have, I have sold so many books and film companies to buy copyrights for you. How come I have to have a 18 million or something."
"My budget for buying a car is less than one million, and the money has to be spent on the blade."
Only more than five million can be considered a luxury car, but Lin Han will not devote most of his wealth to it. Even if he drives a second-hand Alto, wouldn't he be a writer?
Wang Hao thought about it in his mind, "Can you buy a lot of good cars with one million yuan. Do you have your own brand you like? There are quite a lot of brands in 4S stores, it depends on what type you like."
I recommend a competitive novel "The Godfather of the Lakers" from my friend to coach Kobe and create a different Lakers dynasty!
