Chapter 40 Cui Geng's First Month's Manuscript Fee
Tang Qiu's little hostility towards Su Xi was probably a bit similar to the feeling of "someone scrambling toys he liked".
Su Xi thought it was fun, but she didn't take it seriously.
In the following days, Tang Qiu asked Cui Geng to prepare his homework almost every day, and then had lunch together. After a long time, he became much more familiar with each other. Like Cui Geng, his sister and sister shouted every day, and the relationship between the three of them was quite good.
"Brother Cui, what are you busy with during this period?"
Tang Qiu asked curiously.
She came to study every morning. Judging from Cui Geng's appearance, she seemed to have something else to do in the afternoon, which made her a little curious.
"Nothing, software programming or something."
Cui Geng vaguely treated her perfunctorily.
Regarding writing novels, Cui Geng has not yet planned to tell his classmates and friends in real life. If they know that they are writing novels or even the title of the novel... it may affect their writing status of casually performing.
After all, writing is always more private - for newcomers.
On the other hand, Cui Geng felt that he had no achievements yet, he was just an ordinary newcomer. Although he had written it seriously, some flaws could not be avoided, which made him feel embarrassed to show it to the people around him.
If he becomes a professional writer in the future, or writes a kind of work that makes him and the market very satisfied, perhaps he will consider publishing this matter.
"Software programming?"
Tang Qiu didn't think too much, and when he heard about this thing, he was no longer interested.
"I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Send Tang Qiu away.
After returning home, Su Xi was still sitting on the sofa, holding Cui Geng's notebook to help read the article: "Your writing skills are getting better and better now. After you finish writing this book, you will open another new book, and your grades should be much better than you are now."
"This is hard to say. It shouldn't be that easy to write pure original works in the next book."
Cui Geng shook his head: "The reason why this book can achieve good results has a lot to do with fancies. It is said that the average subscription of "The Resurrection of Fairy Qi" has exceeded 200,000. My only fancies will naturally attract many readers of the original book."
The book "Resurrection of Fairy Aura: I Am the Great Villain" has currently exceeded 5,000, which is considered an extremely excellent fan novel. However, Cui Geng did not feel proud of it. He felt that he was a rare genius in the world, but attributed most of his contributions to excellent original works.
It is not because of lack of confidence, but because of self-knowledge.
If it weren't for this kind of fantasy traffic, if it wasn't for the launch of the "Western Wind God" that brought great marketing gimmicks to this book... It would be good if this book could be ordered with 2,000 yuan, and it would be difficult to get to the threshold of "high-quality products".
"Believe in yourself."
Su Xi smiled: "It is a good thing to know how to be modest, but there is no need to underestimate yourself. Qihang Novel Network is a platform that is very suitable for cultivating pen names. If your first book has a good reputation, when you write the second book, you will naturally attract a large number of old readers, and at the same time, it can also reassure many new readers that you don't have to worry that you will disappear like a new author... "
“It makes sense.”
Cui Geng nodded.
He thought of his past reading books, when he finished reading the books of the master, he went to read the books of middle-level high-quality authors. After reading the books of the master, he went to read the newcomer's new books with a curious attitude... As a result, he was very poisoned. Since then, when he saw the new book of "lv1", he subconsciously felt scared.
"By the way, have you not paid attention to your grades recently?"
Su Xi suddenly asked.
"I really didn't pay much attention to it. I have no interest in this, and if I pay too much attention to it, it will also affect my writing status."
Cui Geng shook his head.
The reason why he wrote this book with the attitude of writing business articles was to hope that it would meet the tastes of more readers and allow many like-minded friends to participate. Business achievements were secondary. He did not hope that because he paid too much attention to his grades, he would worry about gains and losses, which would affect the writing status of the book.
"Don't you be so unlucky."
Su Xi was helpless: "It is a good thing to focus on without distraction, but sometimes, motivation from business achievements is also very important. On Qihang Novel Network, the manuscript fee statistics are issued on the 3rd of each month, and the manuscript fee is issued around the 12th... It's the 15th today, and you didn't mention this matter, I guess you must have never cared about the results."
"Have you paid for it?"
Cui Geng was stunned and shrugged: "I blocked the author group. The bank card I used when signing the contract did not send a text message to remind me. If you don't say it, I may not remember anything like the manuscript fee."
Su Xi: "..."
Thinking of the first time I wrote a book and paid for the manuscript, I excitedly ran to the Atm machine to check it out early in the morning... She felt that the difference between people's minds was really big.
“Can this be seen on your phone?”
Cui Geng asked: "The manuscript fee statistics last month."
"sure."
Su Xi nodded: "You open the writer assistant and have a royalty income in the 'statistics', and then you can see your income last month. Of course, this is the income before tax. The actual royalty you received is the income after the platform withholds 'personal income tax', which will be somewhat different from this."
"That's fine, that's pretty good. You don't have to pay taxes by yourself."
Cui Geng suddenly realized.
"It's hard to say. If the income is low, you really don't have to pay taxes, and you can even get a tax refund every year... But if the income is higher than the critical point, you have to pay taxes."
Su Xi is serious about popularizing science.
As an old author, although she is a bit home-stop, she still has this basic common sense.
"Where is the critical point for this tax refund?
Cui Geng asked.
"I don't know, it's said that it's about one million yuan in annual income?"
Su Xi frowned and thought for a while, shook her head, a little confused: "Since the personal income tax adjustment, my royalties have not been so small, so I am not very clear about the specific critical point."
Cui Geng: "..."
Is this human word?
He looked at Su Xi with a confused look on his face, feeling like he was shown off.
However, what he didn't know was that Su Xi's words were not exaggerated at all. From the time she achieved her grades a few years ago to now, her annual income has not fallen to eight digits. Every year, the money for taxes alone has to be calculated by seven digits.
Tax refunds are just a legend to her...
"I'd better go check the royalties."
Cui Geng shook his head, no longer wanting to participate in this topic, and felt that he was not worthy of it.
Enter your fingerprint password to unlock it, and then check the royalty fee last month: 237,300 yuan.
"so much?"
Cui Geng was a little surprised. He thought that his royalties for the past month should be quite large, but he didn't expect that it would exceed 200,000, which was a bit scary.
"It's normal."
Su Xi was not surprised: "Your total reward last month was not less than 200,000 yuan. After 55 cents, you will have at least 100,000 yuan. Moreover, you ordered four or five thousand yuan for this book, and you updated it for a full 700,000 words last month..."
"That's right, I almost forgot the reward."
Cui Geng then realized that the guardian groups, knight groups, and the urging groups last month... and the Golden Alliance rewarded by a certain god, all of these are royalties.
