A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

The next day, Monday

In the morning, after attending four classes at school, Xia Yan and Song Lingjun agreed to go to Xia Tang Animation Production Company in the afternoon.

"Is this the car you bought?"

Song Lingjun has been used to luxury cars since she was a child, so she was not so shocked by Xia Yan's new car. But after all, Xia Yan did not take a taxi this time, but drove her to the company in person, so she asked curiously.

"Well, how is it, very handsome, right?" Xia Yan looked excited.

After all, driving a cool sports car on the street is the dream of a two-dimensional boy like him since childhood.

The purpose is not to attract girls with cars, which is so vulgar, but just pure love.

Just like the boys in the parallel world like Transformers and Ultraman.

"Well, it's okay." Song Lingjun's expression was calm.

"Yes, how would you be interested in cars?" Xia Yan smiled after looking at Song Lingjun's expression.

"I'm only interested in novel writing now." Song Lingjun added.

"By the way, I heard that your new novel, Hidden Blade, seems to be finished, right?" Xia Yan asked while driving.

"Well, it was originally just a novella, and I didn't plan to write it long."

"As for the results." Xia Yan asked one more question.

"In the five issues serialized in the past month, the ranking of "Liuli Se" is 12221," Song Lingjun paused and said.

"Compared to the results of your Initial D and Sword Art Online, my Hidden Blade is still far behind."

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"In fact, the results of your novel are already exaggerated." Xia Yan recalled the information about the works and authors in the file that Bai Xuan gave him yesterday.

"For example, you know the work "Labyrinth of the Other World". The author Xu Qing, who ranked second in the "Liuli" journal last week, became famous at the age of 26 with this work. When she was 20, she participated in the selection of novels for the new god's ascension, and only ranked 34th. After signing a long-term contract with Liuli Book Club, the first novel written by Liuli Book Club could not even be serialized in "Liuli Color", but was serialized in the lower-level novel journal within Liuli Book Club. The average sales volume of that work was only more than one million copies." Xia Yan looked at Song Lingjun.

"You participated in the selection of novels for the new god's ascension at the age of 17 and achieved the top ten ranking. The novel written at the age of 19 can top the "Liuli Color". I remember correctly that the average sales volume of the single volume of "Secret Blade" is 3 million copies! Compared with Xu Qing, the top female light novel writer in Longguo, your achievements at the same age are simply overwhelming her."

"What's the use?" Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan.

"The gap between me and you is even bigger than when we were in Southern Province."

"To the Moon, Sword Art Online, Initial D, Puella Magi Madoka Magica." Song Lingjun paused, but then smiled.

"At first, I wanted to chase you and surpass you, just because I didn't admit defeat. In fact, I didn't think you would be so strong that it was despairing, but now..."

"What's wrong now?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

"Now I think I had a good vision. The one who I chose to be my enemy can only be the first person in the two-dimensional industry in Longguo."

"The first person in the two-dimensional industry?" Xia Yan laughed.

"Are you flattering me?"

"No, I really think so. If I give you a few more years, you will have a great chance of growing to this point," Song Lingjun said softly.

After all, for a person who can create a phenomenal animation like Puella Magi Madoka Magica at the age of 19, no matter how much future expectations he has, it is not too much.

"I didn't expect you to have such expectations of me." Xia Yan paused, then said jokingly.

"Then I am so terrible in your eyes, why do you still want to compete with me?"

"That's natural. It's just a matter of time. You are only temporarily ahead of me now. No one can stay at the top forever. But if one day you stand at the top of this industry, if there is really someone who can pull you down from that place, then I think that person is me." Song Lingjun smiled lightly.

"That's why I finished "Secret Blade" so quickly. My agent Shu Mei told me that in November, there will be a vacancy for serialization in the journal "Liuli". Because of your sudden intervention in the last serialization, many people's new novels were useless, so those people accumulated their strength for two months and waited for this opportunity."

Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan.

"And I am also the same, staring at this serialization seat."

"Is that so? No wonder." Xia Yan thought for a while, then said.

"I don't know about these things yet, and I haven't paid much attention to them.

"After all, you are standing very high now, and you rarely look down. People who were in the same period as us in the New God Ascension last year, such as Jiang Jing and Chu Li, who were the second and third place in the New God Ascension, are now talking about you as their goal and wanting to surpass you when they are interviewed by the media." Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan's expression and said a few more words.

"You may now be seen by those top older generation of two-dimensional industry creators as a severe challenge from the newcomers in the industry, the biggest wave of the newcomers. But in the eyes of those of us who are competing with you at the same time, you have now grown into a big devil-level existence."

"Big Demon King? This title makes me feel so good." Xia Yan said with a smile.

The two of them communicated, and soon the vehicle drove to the company.

Xia Yan, Song Lingjun and Tang Yin, as shareholders of the company, have their own tasks and responsibilities in the company in addition to their own affairs.

Otherwise, Xia Yan's 9% shares wouldn't be so easy to get.

In fact, Xia Yan could ask others to help with many things. The reason why these two people were assigned to important positions by Xia Yan was entirely because of Xia Yan's trust in them.

It's easy to find capable people who are willing to spend money, but there are only a few people in the Long Kingdom who Xia Yan can trust and who think they won't cheat him.

At the meeting, the company's financial report reported on the expected income of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, as well as Xia Yan's purchase of a car and a villa in a wealthy area in the name of the company.

First of all, the two of them had only officially confirmed Puella Magi Madoka Magica's terrifying earnings at the meeting today. After all, finance is the absolute core department of any company. Xia Yan has full authority to handle related matters, and they are not aware of it. It's just a guess.

But the terrifying profits that were expected to total more than one billion in the next two to three years still made the two of them look confused.

This means that the 9% shares of each of the two people can theoretically be distributed to more than 90 million Longguo coins, provided that Xia Yan, the major shareholder, distributes these profits as dividends.

But no matter what, compared to the investment of several millions each by the two of them.

This is a tenfold rate of return, and this does not include the possible income from the animations of I Will Wait for You in Seven Years and Cyberpunk Edgewalker that the company is currently producing.

This. This is too outrageous.

Ninety million, Dragon Country Coin

Even though Tang Yin and Song Lingjun were both from wealthy families, they still felt that the money was too easy to earn.

On the other hand, the villa and car Xia Yan purchased through the company's name were a trivial matter. It's just for reasonable tax avoidance. After all, the company can use the annual depreciation of the property to deduct the business tax, and Xia Yan doesn't have to pay personal tax on the house purchase money and then turn it into a private property, in which case he still has to pay a tax. , if you calculate that way, you will have to pay hundreds or tens of millions more in taxes to buy this house, which is a huge loss.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. For example, if the company goes bankrupt, the house will also be liquidated. If the house is sold in the future, if the house appreciates in value, it will have to pay value-added tax and corporate income tax.

However, Xia Yan does not think that Xia Tang Animation Production Company will be at risk of bankruptcy. After all, as the chairman, he does not borrow money to operate, and he does not engage in bad habits.

The house he lives in is not for sale, so in Xia Yan's opinion, there are almost no disadvantages.

Then comes the point.

After Xia Yan explained clearly the use of the money, he looked directly at Tang Yin and Song Lingjun and said.

"So. Do you two want to move in?"

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

"Eh?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with a confused expression.

"I mean you two are moving here?" Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"I bought this apartment with tens of millions of dollars just because the community is well-sealed and there are no reporters to take secret photos. Now you are also being chased and intercepted by those fanatical fans."

Hearing this, Song Lingjun hesitated and nodded.

"And Tang Yin. As the vice chairman of Xia Tang Animation Production Company, you are actually being watched by many people in the animation industry. And you serve as our company's foreign affairs handler. There were reporters who wanted to follow you before, hoping to find you." "My true identity, right?"

Tang Yin also nodded when she heard this.

"As the company grows, you two will encounter more and more situations like this. If you continue to live in that kind of ordinary community, the trouble will only get bigger and bigger." Xia Yan also knew that his words might This caused a misunderstanding between the two, but he was telling the truth.

"The villa I bought in the name of the company belongs to the company's assets. Just treat it as a company dormitory and provide employee benefits. Just move in and live in it. Anyway, the villa is quite big. A dozen suites are more than enough for four people." Xia Yan looked at it. To the two of them.

"The most important thing is that you should believe in my character."

"Cough cough cough" Tang Yin blinked her eyes and coughed when she heard this.

"Four people?" Only Song Lingjun noticed something was wrong.

"Why four people?"

"Oh, and my senior sister from the comic club, Mo Ran, who is now helping me draw the initial D, her situation is even more serious. Last week, she encountered some fanatical comic fans squatting in front of her house. There is no way, she She is my partner, and I have to ensure her daily life and privacy, so I also asked her if she would mind moving here so that we don’t have to run around when we are communicating about the drawing of Initial D comics.”

"She agreed?" Tang Yin narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.

"Yeah." Xia Yan nodded.

Song Lingjun and Tang Yin's expressions changed, and they immediately said in unison.

"I see."

"I see."

"Are you agreeing?" Xia Yan was a little surprised when he heard this and confirmed again.

Song Lingjun and Tang Yin paused and then nodded.

After receiving nods from the two people in reply, he felt relieved.

In fact, he didn't know that what he proposed was inappropriate. He, a man, invited them to live in the new house he bought.

But Mo Ran, Song Lingjun and Tang Yin are basically closely connected with Xia Yan. They are either partners of Xia Yan's company or partners of comics. In addition, it is also beneficial to do so in order to facilitate work contacts.

As for the disadvantages,

it is a bit strange to say that three women and one man live in the same villa.

But if you change your mind, it is that Xia Yan's partners live in the luxurious villa dormitory arranged by him.

In addition to living in a villa in name, the privacy and solidity of each room are much better than those of the houses in the community.

The community is nothing more than a large building. In fact, the distance between households is only a wall. If you jump upstairs, you can hear the sound downstairs. The privacy is not as good as the room in Xia Yan's villa.

Since these two people agreed to Xia Yan's proposal, Xia Yan was too lazy to propose plan B.

After all, plan B is to buy another villa in the same community, coordinate the work of the three people, and arrange the three partners to live together. This will also make it convenient for Xia Yan to discuss work content with them without wasting time on commuting.

Anyway, it is definitely impossible to let them continue to live in the original residence, otherwise Xia Yan is really afraid that they will be attacked by perverted fans one day.

However, plan B is too wasteful, and tens of millions of funds are spent for no reason.

After these trivial matters were confirmed, in the next few days, Xia Yan, Song Lingjun, Tang Yin, Mo Ran and others all got a new job. Moving.

As time passed, the third chapter of Sword Art Online was successfully serialized on Friday.
