I sang songs on our school playground with this guitar."

"Oh~" Yuan Wanqing nodded and chuckled, "I brought it last year."

"Cough, cough..." Ying Zhicheng coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Let's sing, sing. After singing for a while, I have to go back to the company in the afternoon."

"Okay." Yuan Wanqing hummed softly, holding the guitar and strumming the strings. Then she calmed down and stopped worrying about it with Ying Zhicheng for the time being. As the rhythm gradually picked up, she began to hum softly.

It's the song "Light Chaser" that she likes better.

Soon, the living room was immersed in Yuan Wanqing's singing.

Halfway through the song, she turned to Yan Zhusheng and winked, gesturing for her to join in.

At the end of the song, Li Luo also sang along, and Yuan Wanqing played the guitar to accompany them.

After singing several songs, Li Guohong and others were also filled with emotion.

"It's really good." Li Guohong patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky to be able to write a song for Aunt Yuan."

"You can't say that." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "I also want to thank Li Luo."

With that said, Yuan Wanqing handed the guitar to Li Luo, and then said: "You can continue to use this guitar."

Hearing Yuan Wanqing suddenly say this, Li Luo was stunned for a moment. After taking the guitar, he looked down at the guitar, then at Yuan Wanqing, then turned to look at Ying Zhicheng aside, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Could it be...

"Ahem... This guitar was given to me by Wan Qing before." Ying Zhicheng coughed and explained in a low voice, "But I don't usually need it, so it's okay for Xixi to give it to you."

"Yes." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "The guitar is just for playing. Your uncle Ying is usually very busy and probably doesn't have much time for it, so it's just right for you to use."

After listening to what these two people said, Li Luo finally came to his senses and then managed to smile twice.

Since Yuan Wanqing said so, Li Luo was not polite to them.

But in his heart, Li Luo still broke into a cold sweat for Ying Zhicheng.

The gift given by my partner was lent to other boys by my daughter... After Uncle Ying returns home this time, will he be teased by Aunt Yuan?

But they are both grown up, so they shouldn’t be angry over such a trivial matter, right?

On the other hand, Ying Chanxi on the side was very confused and couldn't help but look at Yuan Wanqing and then at Ying Zhicheng.

If it was a year ago, she might not have thought much about it, but then Li Luo told her that this guitar was quite expensive, and the normal purchase price would start at less than 10,000 yuan.

Could this be a casual gift from a normal friend?

However, considering that Aunt Yuan is not short of money and is an artist in her father's company, it is not incomprehensible to please her boss...

Just thinking of a woman giving such an expensive gift to her father, Ying Chanxi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But after all, Dad and Aunt Yuan were friends in private, so it was hard for Ying Chanxi to say anything.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing." Ying Zhicheng looked at Li Luo, then looked at Li Guohong, and reminded, "Li Luo's income is already quite high now. My suggestion is that you'd better give him a

A company.”

"He now earns a starting income of several million a year and pays tax directly according to his personal tax rate, which is a bit of a loss."

"Although the corporate tax is a little higher than that of a normal individual, it is definitely much better than a large personal income like his."

"And after you have a company, some things will become more convenient. In the future, you can also do business accounts directly with the company, such as signing agreements with him."

"Including Li Luo's income from royalties, if you ask your website that writes online articles, it should be possible to change the contract signed by the individual into an agreement signed with the company."

"Or you can sign an agency contract with the established company in your own name. There should be many ways."

"It just so happens that I want to sign another overall contract with you regarding the production of the new album, and clarify some copyright and sharing details."

"You guys can see when you are free and register the company first."

After being reminded by Ying Zhicheng, Li Luo reacted.

To be honest, the author’s personal remuneration and the tax rate set by the state are actually not high.

For example, last year, excluding the income from selling his songs, his income from royalties was probably only a few hundred thousand.

If this income were paid to ordinary workers, the taxes they would have to pay would also be quite high.

But he pays taxes at a constant tax rate of about 11%, and even according to national policies, there are corresponding tax refund benefits at the end of the year.

But this year, things are different.

Because since February, his monthly income has increased to hundreds of thousands. Even if you don't look at the income provided to him by Huayue Film and Television from the new album, the royalties alone are estimated to be several million in a year.

.

If the tax rate is calculated based on personal remuneration, then at the end of the year there will not be a tax refund, but a tax payment will be made honestly.

Thinking of this, Li Luo also nodded: "Well, I will ask the editor later to see if there is any precedent in this regard. As for the company's affairs..."

"You are not yet of age, so your parents have to handle this matter." Ying Zhicheng said, "If Lao Li is not familiar with it, I will ask my secretary to accompany you to operate it. Registering a company is quite simple."

"Okay, let me think about this matter." Li Guohong also heard the importance of this matter, nodded immediately and said, "But I won't bother you first, I will ask my brother, he used to do business.

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau here should have some connections."

"That's okay." Ying Zhicheng smiled, then patted Li Guohong on the shoulder, "Now that Li Luo has made a fortune, you two have stopped working on that breakfast shop. You just happened to set up a company, and you usually help Li Luo sign contracts.

Contracts and so on, by the way, I can provide some salary for myself and my sister-in-law, and it can also help him avoid taxes, so that I won’t have nothing to do.”

After hearing what Ying Zhicheng said, Li Luo thought this was a good idea.

Once the store is purchased and the company is established, my parents have nothing to do, so they go to the store for a walk to see how the business is going.

Go to my uncle's milk tea shop to order a cup of milk tea, blow on the air conditioner, and chat.

Li Luo had something to do here, so he asked his parents to sign the contract for him, which was something to do.

Thinking of this, Li Luo grinned, patted Li Guohong on the shoulder and teased: "Dad, you will also be the general manager of our company from now on. You will be on the same level as Uncle Ying. From now on, you can puff up your chest even when drinking and bragging."

Hearing this, Ying Zhicheng couldn't help but laugh, and then burst into laughter.

Li Guohong blushed at what he said, and said angrily: "You are not ashamed, you are just a small company, how can you compare with Lao Ying and others?"

"That's different." Ying Zhicheng said with a smile, "I'm just a high-level wage earner working for shareholders. A little equity dividend is the limit."

"If your Li Luo's songs become popular with Wan Qing in the future, I guess many people will come to him privately to invite him to sing."

"This book is also a hit now, and there may be a chance to sell the film and television rights in the future."

"I have inquired before that the current copyright fee for a work of his level is in the tens of millions at least."

"Once your company is established, with Li Luo as a cash cow, the valuation will not be low."

When Ying Zhicheng said this, both Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were a little dizzy, feeling as if they were about to fly into the sky all of a sudden.

Li Luo, on the other hand, remained awake. He coughed twice and reminded: "The online articles I copy are all entertainment works that exist in reality. The copyright is still difficult to sell and it is easy to have disputes."

"That's true." Ying Zhicheng pondered. He hadn't thought of this before, but then he said, "But you also have many original songs in your book, right?"

"At that time, it can actually be released as a standalone. Please pay attention when adapting it. Copyright issues can be easily avoided."

"even……"

Speaking of this, Ying Zhicheng's heart skipped a beat, and he actually felt a little moved.

He also asked his secretary to investigate Li Luo's novel, and it is now very popular on Qidian.com.

Qidian is now backed by Penguin and is the largest men’s website in China.

But for any book that becomes popular all over the Internet, the copyright price remains high.

"I'm Really Not a Celebrity" is an ambiguous copyright dispute. If you really want to sell the copyright, it's not impossible to sell it.

When Ying Zhicheng said this, Li Luo suddenly remembered.

Although when he entered the industry, there were basically no entertainment-themed popular books that could sell film and television rights.

Even just talking about urban themes, few can be sold. This theme is mostly reserved for female channels, and male channels’ urban stories are rarely considered when purchasing copyrights.

But in the early days, that is, at this stage, many film and television companies actually did not understand the specific chemical reaction between online literature and film and television, so they still purchased the copyrights of many popular books.

Among them was an entertainment-themed novel. Even though it was later blocked, the film and television rights were still sold, and it was even made into a TV series.

Thinking of this, Li Luo felt a little excited.

Ying Zhicheng also had similar thoughts to Li Luo.

Huayue Film and Television has entered the field of TV dramas in recent years, but it is actually a bit acclimatized.

Although it has produced one or two hit TV series, as well as some fan-oriented movies and TV series, it is far from being able to gain a firm foothold.

The previous "Yao Chi Xian Yuan" had a mixed reputation in terms of reputation, but the income was supported by the two young talents. It was not a huge profit, but it was acceptable.

There will be another urban romance drama "The Rest of My Life with You" during the summer vacation, and I don't know how it will perform.

But judging from the popularity of Li Luo's novel, the plot should be pretty good, right?

I don’t know what will happen if it is made into a TV series.

With this thought in mind, Ying Zhicheng's thoughts became more vivid.

However, these ideas were not very mature yet, so he did not continue.
To be continued...
