Forbes' data is obviously not 100% accurate. If they can redirect the taxes paid by each writer, they may be able to succeed through the tax rate.

But that is obviously impossible. Even publishers cannot disclose the specific manuscript fee figures to Forbes Magazine. This thing can be regarded as a commercial secret!

Of course, there were also publishers who wanted to falsely report numbers to writers so that they could be on Forbes’ list of global writers and enhance their influence.

Unfortunately, as soon as Forbes announced, the US Federal Taxation Bureau immediately found the writer and wanted to check his income, suspected that he evaded taxes!

In fact, there has always been a saying in the United States that "don't mess with the IRS". The deterrence of i even exceeds that of the CIA and the FBI.

Since then, no publishing house dares to falsely report the income of its writers. Whenever Forbes Magazine comes to inquire about the investigation, it can only talk to the lower level!

Of course, Forbes Magazine is not a fool. They do not believe in the publishing house's one-sided words, and they will also contact the writer himself.

Of course, their biggest basis is actually the sales volume of the works. The sales figures of each book can be found. It is not a secret how many tens of thousands of copies this book has sold this year!

The only problem is how high the royalties are and what the sales price of these books is. The sales numbers printed behind the books are not the real price.

No bookstore will purchase goods at the sales price. They have all received various discounts, otherwise how can they make a profit?

Fortunately, there is no airtight wall in the world, and the approximate purchase price is actually similar. There are always so many bookstores at home and abroad that reveal it, and royalties are also easier to find out.

Although there may be differences in the specific situation, such as the share ratio of the electronic version, these are all differences in the contract, unless it is the author and the publisher themselves, no one can know!

Therefore, the figures released by Forbes magazine are just a rough idea and not that exact.

After several years, Lin Han continued to counterattack and finally ascended the championship when his life was about to enter another stage!

At first he just wanted to copy an article to pay for heating and rent, but who knew that he would write more and more and more, and he became more famous. Now he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by just writing novels a year!

If this list appeared at the time when he had just traveled through time three years ago, Lin Han himself wouldn't believe that a science fiction writer from China could surpass all other writers!

For Lin Han now, making money is just the second best. At least he doesn’t have to worry about his money in his life, and he can do what he wants to do.

Whether it is to express love to the mountains and rivers or to indulge in the world, Lin Han now has enough capital.

But for him, it was too early to retire. He is still very young now, so there is no need to live like a bad old man!

After Lin Han turned around and returned to the room, he found that Chen Jiaxuan had already gotten up in her clothes.

"Dear, I heard you call me just now, and it seems that something is good?"

"Your husband, I've been on the freshly released Forbes Global Rich Writers List, and I'll celebrate it tonight!"

Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but feel weak when she heard this. She couldn't stand Lin Han's naked eyes, but she felt proud. It seemed that her attraction to him had not decreased after being in love for so long.

She pulled the wrinkles on her clothes and said, "Then let's have a meal to celebrate, let's just celebrate the rest."

Lin Han smiled silently. Of course he knew what Chen Jiaxuan meant, so he gently hugged her into his arms and whispered in a low voice: "Did it really hurt before? Otherwise, we'll go eat something now and keep our spirits going tomorrow?"

"You're crazy!"

Chen Jiaxuan retorted: "Tomorrow is a charity auction, don't mess around."

The charity auction that has been preparing for so long is finally about to begin. Of course, Lin Han cannot plant strawberries on Chen Jiaxuan's neck casually, otherwise it will be difficult to cover up the makeup.

Although Lin Han had already eaten an apple, his stomach was still not full. He and Chen Jiaxuan took a brief wash and went to the buffet restaurant to find food. I don’t know if there is anything left to eat at this place.

...

The news that Lin Han had a strong top-ranking Forbes Global Writer Income List suddenly sparked widespread discussion on the Internet, which was $120 million!

Not 1 yuan and 2 cents!

How many people have worked hard all their lives and can't make a fraction of Lin Han's year. The 120 million US dollars is converted into more than 700 million yuan. This income is unique among Chinese writers, and it is even the best in the Chinese literary and artistic circles!

It all shows that stars make more money, but after looking at Forbes' Chinese star income list, the highest popularity of actors is just more than 100 million yuan, and the Asian music king has also exceeded 100 million yuan with a series of concerts.

All kinds of movies and TV actors and singers seem to be as profitable as Lin Han alone!

It is better to write novels than to act, sing, make movies, and do variety shows!

It is said that physical novels are no longer profitable, but Lin Han slapped them loudly. How many zeros are there for $120 million, it is easy to make the commentators faint.

Of course, it’s not just Lin Han. The online novel writers also have a very high income. The top online writers can exceed 100 million, and those who come later can also reach tens of millions!

If a novel is popular, let alone people who watch genuine versions through various channels, just copyrights such as TV series, movies, animations, mobile games, etc. will be enough to sell tens of millions of yuan.

"The Global Rich Writers List was announced, and Chinese writers were successfully crowned!"

"Chinese science fiction master Lin Han topped the global writer's income list with US$120 million!"

"The latest list of rich writers and writers has been announced, and Lin Han defeated James Patterson and ranked first!"

"Lin Han made more than 700 million yuan and won the global writer income list!"

"Famous young writer and director Lin Han was exposed to earning over 100 million US dollars a year, surpassing writers all over the world!"

"Lin Han, the number one sales writer in China, topped the global list for the first time this year!"

Although this number is not accurate, it does not prevent the media from reporting more, and it seems to have turned into a national carnival.

Most of the time, the image of a writer that comes to mind is the kind of poverty-stricken person, and it seems that only a difficult life can create wonderful words.

But now, they suddenly realized that being a writer is so profitable. I wonder how many young people are fooled by the media to join the literary world!

Many new authors have an idea. Since Lin Han’s works can sell so well, I think I am not bad either. Even if I can’t compare to him, it is enough to have one-tenth or even one- percent of his sales.

However, in the past two years, many people thought so. They all felt that their strength was not inferior to Lin Han and even the rest of them, but they just lacked a chance to become famous.

Whenever these writer income lists are announced, major publishing houses, magazines and stations will receive snowflake-like submissions, which will torture those editors to death and make them dazzled!

Compared to the media, Lin Han's fans are much calmer, and they don't seem to be surprised at all. UC's shocked part has not received any effect for the first time.

"Isn't it the champion? Is there anything to be surprised about!"

"If others earn so much, it's still news. As for Teacher Lin, shouldn't he make so much money?"

"Congratulations to Teacher Lin for winning the championship. Don't stop winning the pen after making so much money!"

"James Patterson is just a defeated man, don't be so popular."

"Low-key, low-key, and money is not revealed. Teacher Lin earns so much and even has a car of one million. It's so simple!"

"It is really not easy for China to produce such a world-class writer. Don't praise Teacher Lin."

In fact, not only local media reprinted and praised it, but even foreign media reported it. Forbes itself is an extremely important magazine, such as the Russian Leslie Cheung, the French Liberation, the Italian Republic, the British Independent, the Guardian, the Mirror, the Daily Telegraph, the Times, the Wall Street Journal of the United States, the Washington Post, the International Herald Tribune, the United States Today, the New York Daily News, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and other world-renowned newspapers are reporting related matters!

In addition, TV stations in various countries will definitely not miss such a big news point. As a well-known magazine in the United States and even the world, such news with great potential will certainly be popular.

The first thing I realized was that several major TV stations in the United States, CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CBS interjected the news almost at the same time, while British BBC TV, European News TV, Sky News Channel, French TV One, Fuji TV, Asahi Radio, Italian Broadcasting Corporation, Australian National TV and even CCTV were talking about this news.

Even on different channels, different news columns, and even the news subtitles scrolling below the TV screen are reporting the same thing, just to let people all over the world know!

After all, James Patterson has been ranked first for so many years, and no one has ever been able to pull him off the throne until this year!

In fact, Lin Han is not likable in nationality. European and American countries have invisible xenophobia, but he broke these discrimination and rejection, overthrew the old king's rule, and realized what all writers dream of!

It is precisely because James Patterson firmly ranks first every year that Lin Han’s emergence this year has become so unique. He had won the front-line conversation with James Patterson. This time he defeated his old opponent again, and undoubtedly officially announced such a fact to the world.
