At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 1st of July, Wei Chuyang brought his mother out of the crowded Beijing airport and took a taxi straight to the hotel they had booked.
" Mom, rest first. I'll come over to call you for dinner later," Wei Chuyang instructed his mother when they arrived at the hotel. She left home at seven in the morning and had been on the road for nearly ten hours. She must be tired.
" Son, you should rest well too." Looking at her son who was so busy at such a young age, Auntie Wei's heart ached.
After returning to his hotel, Wei Chuyang was tired. He set the alarm clock and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
The next morning at 10 am, Wei Chuyang and his mother were drinking coffee and chatting in the hotel's cafe while waiting for the staff of the publishing firm. About ten minutes later, the person waiting arrived.
" I'm sorry, Little Yang. I was late because of the traffic jam." Niu Delun looked apologetically at the lady beside him." Oh, Madam Zhang, you're here too. Hello, hello. I didn't see you just now."
" It's fine. Please have a seat." Grandmistress Wei had seen Niu Delun before and waved her hand.
After they sat down, Niu Delun took out a stack of documents from his document bag and handed it to Wei Chuyang." Madam Zhang, Little Yang, these are the results of 'Hello, Old Times' and 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty'. Take a closer look at the documents. I'll give you a brief explanation."
Niu Delun paused for a moment before saying,"Since it went on sale on April 30th, as of June 30th, the first volume of 'Hello, Old Times' has sold a total of 400,000 copies. The second and third volumes that went on sale on June 25th sold a total of 50,000 copies, making a total of 450,000 copies. Each volume is priced at 20 yuan, so it's 9 million yuan in total. Your royalty share is 10%, which is 900,000 yuan. After deducting various taxes, it's a total of 800,000 yuan. The details of the tax deductions are written on the information. You can take a look."
There were many kinds of remuneration, such as publishing, serializing, publishing after serializing, paying remuneration in batches, printing, and so on. Now, I will take out the edition and briefly explain it. The tax rate for remuneration was 14%. When your income was greater than 800, then your income would have to pay personal income tax. As for how to pay, it would depend on whether your income exceeded 4000. If it doesn't exceed 4000, then 800 will be deducted from your income to calculate your personal income tax. If it exceeds 4000, then your income needs to be multiplied by 0.8 to calculate personal income tax. The calculation method of personal income tax was to multiply the tax rate by the tax amount. The conclusion was the amount of personal income tax that needed to be paid.
For example, if an author published 50,000 novels, and 50,000 exceeded 4000, then the amount of tax income should be 50,000 *0.8= 40,000. The tax rate would definitely be 14%. Its tax amount = 4W *0.14=5600 yuan
When Auntie Wei heard this, she looked at her son in disbelief. Then, she looked at Niu Delun, who was sitting opposite her." Really? How can a novel earn so much money?"
" Yes, Madam Zhang. The novels that sell well can make a lot of money. The ones that don't sell well can't make much money either. Little Yang's book is very popular among teenagers and young people." After Niu Delun finished his explanation, he said," Let me talk about 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty'. There are a total of seven volumes and 500,000 copies have been sold. The price of each volume is still 20 yuan, and the after-tax income is 900,000 yuan."
" Little Yang, look closely at the amount. It's 1.7 million yuan in total. It'll be transferred to your account by tomorrow at the latest. There shouldn't be any more problems. Let's talk about your Analysis of the Three Kingdoms," Niu Delun said to Wei Chuyang.
Analysis of the Three Kingdoms had already been copied. Wei Chuyang had set his sights on Grave Robber's Chronicles and Ghost Blows Out the Light. He had only copied about 100,000 words, which was a huge mistake. When he had enough money, Wei Chuyang decided to stop plagiarizing. He decided to wash his hands of it and become a good person.
In the end, after some wrangling, both parties reached an agreement. The royalty rate for 'Analysis of the Three Kingdoms' was 12%. After looking at the contract in detail, Wei Chuyang felt that there was no problem, so he let his mother sign it.
" Happy cooperation. Don't forget about the signing event on the 10th," Niu Delun said as he stood up.
" Happy cooperation. I won't forget. I came to Kyokuboku early to prepare for the signing event," Wei Chuyang said as he shook hands.
At this point, the two sides had a successful cooperation and parted ways after lunch.
Back in the room, Wei Chuyang poured a glass of water for his mother and said," Mom, you can wander around alone in the afternoon. I have an appointment in the afternoon and won't have time to accompany you. I'll bring you to the Forbidden City tomorrow.
Auntie Wei looked at her son with a puzzled expression. She was getting more and more confused about her son. The huge amount of money in the morning was too much of an impact for a primary school teacher. "Who are you meeting?" he asked. You know someone here? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Wei Chuyang sat on the chair and explained to his mother," Didn't I go to America last time? I met a big shot on the plane. He's the super awesome kind. He's the CEO of Baidu, Li Baidu, the CEO of the search site you often use.
" I know that. I often use that website. You're not bragging, are you? Even if we met on the plane, you probably forgot about it by now. How could I remember a student like you?" Grandmistress Wei was a little skeptical.
" I've already made an appointment. I'll be going to Baidu's headquarters in a while. I'll take a photo with you when I come back. Your son's connections are really good." Wei Chuyang explained and left the hotel. He had made an appointment at three o'clock, and it was almost time for him to rush over.
The construction of the future Baidu building had yet to begin. The current employees of Baidu were currently divided into several offices: The Ideals International Building, the Third Pole Building, and so on.
The Ideals International Building was located in the heart of the bustling and well-developed Zhongguancun. The north faces the North Fourth Ring Road and Peking University; To the east were electronic shopping malls such as Hailong, Dinghao, and Kemao; To the south was Zhongguancun Shopping Plaza, and to the west was Haidian Book City and the Third Pole. The geographical location was extremely advantageous.
He took a taxi to the Lixiang International Building and walked into the lobby. He asked the front desk,"Hello, which floor is President Li's office on?”。
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked.”
"Yes, I'm Wei Chuyang. We have an appointment at 3 pm."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The receptionist picked up the phone and dialed the secretary's office. After a while, she looked at Wei Chuyang curiously and said,"" Hello, turn right ahead and take the elevator to the 19th floor. Someone will pick you up."
" Thank you." He returned the greeting and walked towards the elevator.
Wei Chuyang took the elevator to the 19th floor. When the elevator door opened, he saw a woman in a light green shirt walking over. Her eyebrows were curved, neither thick nor thin. Her small nose was slightly upturned, and her face was like white jade. She was wearing a professional suit, which made her look even more charming. She was about 24 or 25 years old, and her height was not much shorter than him. Her straight long legs were very eye-catching. She was definitely a beauty.
"Hello, you are Wei Chuyang…Err... "Sir? I'm President Li's secretary, Wei Botong. President Li is in a meeting. He asked me to bring you to his office." Wei Botong looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a bit awkward to call him 'sir'.
Wei Chuyang also saw the awkwardness on the other party's face and said," You can call me Wei Chuyang or Little Yang. We're from the same family. Which Bai and which Tong?"
" Yes, Bai as in cypress, and Tong as in red." Looking at the young man in front of him who had a hint of elegance in his simple and honest manner, he guessed his relationship with CEO Li. Very few people would wait for CEO Li in CEO Li's office. It could be seen that this young man was not ordinary.
"Pine and cypress trees are planted on the east and west, and parasol trees are planted on the left and right. " Pine and cypress symbolize beautiful qualities. Tong sounds like Tong. It's a good name. Uncle and Auntie must be very cultured." Wei Chuyang looked at the beauty and had the urge to show off his knowledge.
" This is CEO Li's office. Please take a seat for a moment. CEO Li is about to end his meeting. Would you like some tea or coffee?" After a while, he followed the beautiful woman into CEO Li's office.
" Tea, thank you." She sat on the sofa and looked around Almighty Li's office. It was simple and grand. Through the window, she could see Jingbei University. The rows of books were eye-catching in the entire office.
As an 87-year graduate of Peking University's Department of Information Management, Peking University's tradition of " both liberal arts and science, inclusive and inclusive " had deeply penetrated into Li Baidu's style of doing things, which directly affected Baidu's corporate culture. The name of the company, Baidu, came from the Song Dynasty's poem,"Searching for Him in the Public", and the name of the conference room of Baidu Company came from the name of the poem, Sapphire Case.
Not only that, but along the way, the large and small conference rooms were all named after the Ci poems of the Song Dynasty. This Great God Li liked Song Ci.
