Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains
#549 - Shocking news from my uncle
The next morning, the two woke up refreshed and completed their morning exercises. After breakfast, Lin Heng and Xiulan took the three children to the amusement park.
Xiaoxia was on vacation, and Lin Heng had nothing to do for the past two days, so he took the children out to play. Although it was cold outside in winter, the children still enjoyed themselves.
In the next two days, Lin Heng picked a free time to go to the publishing house. He came to Taibai Daily Publishing House in Taibai City and met the editor-in-chief there.
When Lin Heng went to meet someone, he was naturally dressed very formally in a suit. He announced himself at the door, and soon a tall and thin man in a Zhongshan suit and glasses came out. He was estimated to be about 31 or 32 years old.
"You are Mr. Lin. You are indeed a man of talent, even more amazing than your writing." The tall and thin man walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand, smiling at Lin Heng: "Hello, my name is Liu Yun, nice to meet you."
"Editor Liu, you're too polite. I should be the one happy to meet you." Lin Heng said while shaking hands.
Although I have no interest in literature, the connections I have made may not be useless.
"Then let's go inside and talk?" Liu Yun said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.
After entering the house and going to a reception room, the two began to chat. Liu Yun first praised the novel "Live Well" written by Lin Heng, and then began to discuss the publication.
"Our publishing house can cover the initial publishing costs. After the sales, the publishing house will give you 5% of the royalties. What do you think? Except for the publishing rights, everything else is yours." Liu Yun looked at Lin Heng and said.
"No problem. If you think this is okay, then let's do it. If there is a contract, we can sign it now." Lin Heng nodded.
"ah?"
Hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, because it was very rare for Lin Heng to agree to something without even talking.
Doesn't he want to make more money from this book? As far as he knows, people who bury themselves in writing books must live a very difficult life.
Lin Heng looked at the contract, signed it, and put his fingerprint on it.
"By the way, I also need to collect some of your information so that I can write some author introductions. Please fill it out." Liu Yun said again.
Lin Heng nodded, looked at the information card handed to him, quickly filled it out and handed it back.
Liu Yun nodded when he saw Lin Heng's handwriting. This was indeed the handwriting of a cultured person. However, he was stunned when he saw his academic qualifications. He looked carefully and confirmed that it was a diploma from Huangtan Town Primary School. He looked up and asked, "Is your academic qualification real?"
"Yes, I dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school at Huangtan Middle School because my family was poor. I just like reading books, and after reading so much, I wanted to write a book." Lin Heng nodded.
"That's such a pity. If you could go to college, your future would be bright." Liu Yun felt sorry for Lin Heng's experience. He thought that this person must have suffered a lot to write such a good work.
After all, he found it incredible that someone could write such a good work before completing junior high school.
Lin Heng smiled slightly and said nothing. The main reason he was able to write this book was due to his life experiences and his now almost photographic memory.
Liu Yun continued to read, and when he saw the column of work experience, he was stunned again. The farmer and hunter in the front was normal, but what the hell was the owner of the feed factory and pig farm in the back?
"You opened a feed factory and a pig farm?" Liu Yun couldn't help but ask.
Lin Heng smiled and said, "It's been a reform and opening up. I started some small businesses and opened a Hengxiu feed factory."
"Wait, are you the young private entrepreneur who was featured in the newspaper last year?" Liu Yun stood up.
Because the newspaper was in black and white and he had read it a long time ago, he did not immediately connect Lin Heng with the Lin Heng in the newspaper.
"That's the leader's favor. I can't bear that reputation." Lin Heng said modestly.
Liu Yun: “…”
He finally understood. No wonder the other party didn't care about the share of the book profits. With a factory under his control, he was not short of money at all.
"It's really hard for you to keep it a secret from me." Liu Yun smiled helplessly, and his eyes changed when he looked at Lin Heng.
This person is so extraordinary. He has such strong literary attainments and such a good business acumen. He was able to catch the first wave of reform and opening up. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
It would be fine if you knew the inside information, but if you made your own judgment and it has been accumulating, that would be truly terrifying.
"I thought you knew it, Editor-in-Chief Liu, and you really didn't intend to hide it." Lin Heng waved his hand and said.
"Excuse me." Liu Yun's attitude became much more friendly.
Lin Heng looked at Liu Yun and said with a smile, "Editor-in-Chief Liu, it's almost time for dinner. I have ordered a table of wine and food at the Taibai Hotel. Please do me a favor. I will trouble you with all the publishing matters later. I may not be able to keep up."
Liu Yun refused at first, but later agreed after Lin Heng's repeated invitations. He went to Taibai Restaurant for a good meal, and then left happily, saying that the matter was all left to him.
Lin Heng returned home after finishing his work. Xiulan saw him coming back and asked with a smile, "How did the publishing discussion go?"
"It's done." Lin Heng nodded with a smile. Once this matter was dealt with, there would be nothing else to do.
The feed factory has done its year-end summary, and all we have to do is wait for the New Year.
"That's good. When are we going home? The children are clamoring to go back to their hometown." Xiulan poured him a cup of tea and asked.
"That will take another half a month. It's too early now." Lin Heng said.
In the next few days, Lin Heng spent his time hanging out with his wife and children and studying stocks. He was not studying trends or anything like that, but was looking for stocks that he had heard about in his previous life.
He didn't have much contact with stocks in his previous life, but he knew that some stocks were always rising. Although he couldn't know the specific lowest and highest points, he could just buy them without thinking, and he would make money in the future.
At this time, the Gulf War was not far away, and coupled with the reform and opening up, some stocks continued to rise in the next few years.
While learning the background of these stocks, he confirmed the memory in his mind, and finally spent half a million to buy the three stocks he remembered.
Even if he is sure that these stocks will rise, he will not put all his money into them. He wants to retain the ability to resist risks.
Those who dare to go all-in are either desperate or have already seen the "trump card" in advance. Another type is just a fool who blindly follows the trend.
On January 12, his second uncle and his family came to visit his home. His second aunt used to run a breakfast business in the suburbs and had never returned to Hongfeng Village and had no contact with them.
Now that Lin Heng had moved directly to the city, she finally couldn't sit still anymore, and came to visit him as soon as she knew about it. After seeing the house where Lin Heng lived, her arrogance disappeared at all.
Lin Heng had no ill will towards his second uncle, and he had always been nice to his family. He just didn't like his arrogant cousins, who always looked down on him when they came to his house.
This time when I arrived at his house, I was finally not arrogant anymore. I looked around curiously and asked about his business.
For the sake of his second uncle, Lin Heng offered a little, but when they expressed their desire to work for him, he refused without hesitation.
It's not that he doesn't recruit his relatives. In addition to Lin Hai, his factory now has several relatives, namely the cousins who asked him to find jobs for them before. Those people have been working on the construction site for more than a year and are very down-to-earth. Last year, they even went to his house to express their gratitude.
When the factory expanded its recruitment this year, Lin Heng recruited them to work as front-line workers. They were very hardworking and did not use their relationship with him to cause any trouble. Instead, they would report any problems to him immediately, so they could be considered as his eyes and ears.
Lin Heng was willing to help such people, as he felt relieved to use them. But he would not hire these people, as they were not the kind of people who could get things done.
He used the excuse that the factory was currently full, and the others didn't say anything, especially since he bought two packs of good cigarettes and a bottle of good wine for his second uncle when he left, so they had even less to say.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A few people just sighed that Lin Heng's rise was too fast. Second aunt also felt a little regretful. She had not been in contact with Lin Heng's family for all these years and now they were too unfamiliar.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Lin Heng and his second uncle are still quite familiar with each other. If they keep in touch more in the future, their relationship can still be maintained.
After his second uncle and his family left, Lin Heng began to deal with matters at the company. On January 20, he held a year-end summary meeting and took out a large box of cash and piled it on the desk.
Their factory's revenue this year is very good. Feed sales have been fully established, and after covering the feed costs of the pig farm, the profit is still more than 225,000, which is much higher than Lin Heng expected.
The sales department deserves great credit for this, especially Zhang Mei, who is actually very talented in sales. She persuaded many small farmers to buy their feed today.
After the meeting, Lin Heng started to distribute salaries and year-end bonuses. As the sales champion, Zhang Mei naturally received the largest year-end bonus, a full 560 yuan.
The other workers were given the same year-end bonus of 10% of their salary, two boxes of fruit and a kettle. Their salary was high to begin with, a front-line worker now makes 50 yuan a month, and they also give fruit as a year-end bonus, so naturally everyone is enthusiastic.
Arrangements were made to retain staff in the company over the New Year, and then it was disbanded, marking the end of the year.
Lin Heng saved 100,000 yuan of the company's profits and invested the remaining 210,000 yuan in the stock market, buying the same stocks he had bought before.
Leaving one million in cash is enough to deal with all emergencies, and putting the rest in the stock market to deal with inflation. There is no better investment than this.
"Let's go, it's time to go home for the New Year." After returning home, Lin Heng walked into the living room and said with a smile.
"We've packed up and are waiting for you to come back." Xiulan said with a smile.
Caiyun hugged Du Heng and smiled, "Second brother, you look very happy."
"Of course, who wouldn't be happy to go home?" Lin Heng said with a smile. In fact, he was happy that he bought the stocks and could make a fortune in the future.
"Dad, hold me." Xiaoxia, with twin ponytails, threw herself on Lin Heng.
"Let's pack up and leave. I'll go back and hug you." Lin Heng hugged her and said.
"Okay then." Xiaoxia nodded.
Lin Heng took a sip of water, and they began to pack their things. The New Year's goods to be bought had already been prepared, and they were just waiting to go home.
After packing up, Lin Heng drove everyone back. Because there were people sitting in the car, Lin Heng walked slowly.
Walking back from the city, you can clearly feel the tall mountains approaching. As soon as you walk into the mountains, you can see a sea of white snow between the mountains.
"It rained here a few days ago, and the mountains are covered with snow." Xiulan said while holding the child.
"It's colder in the mountains." Lin Heng nodded. The average temperature this era is four or five degrees lower than 20 years ago, so it is naturally colder in the mountains in winter.
They drove slowly and it took them two hours to get back to Hongfeng Mountain. When they arrived, they went into the house to warm up without even unloading the goods.
"You are finally back. If you hadn't come back, we would have killed the New Year pigs." Father Lin said as he lit the fire.
Mother Lin poured some autumn pear paste water for the children to drink and turned on the TV to play cartoons for the children. Since the children and Lin Heng went to the city, they missed him more and more.
"When will the pig be slaughtered?" Lin Heng asked after drinking a sip of hot water.
"It's the day after tomorrow, so if you don't come back you won't be able to eat the pig-killing meal." Father Lin said with a smile.
"That's good, we will definitely make it in time." Lin Heng nodded.
"Mom and Dad, has the reservoir in the village been repaired?" Caiyun asked beside her.
"It has been under repair for many days, except for the canal. They said they will repair it after the spring thaws." said Lin's father.
"Did my brother and uncle catch any big prey?" Lin Heng asked again. It was not far from the implementation of the Animal Protection Law on March 1st of the Gregorian calendar, and he wanted to take advantage of the last few days to have some hunting experience when he came back this time.
If he wants to hunt in the future, he can only go abroad to other places. He is also looking forward to going abroad, as there are many interesting places in foreign countries.
"We didn't catch any big ones. Your eldest brother caught a badger and a white rice ball, your eldest uncle caught a small wild boar, and your third uncle caught some golden pheasants and bamboo partridges." said Lin's father.
"Is that so? That's good. I'll take a few days off and go for a run in the mountains to try my luck. Xiongba has also wanted to go into the mountains for a long time." Lin Heng nodded and said.
"I'm afraid this is difficult. There is another big event during this year's New Year. Your third uncle finally found a wife." Lin's mother said beside her.
"My third uncle found a wife? When did it happen?" Lin Heng almost spit out water and looked at the present in surprise. The eyes of other people in the room also gathered over him.
Lin's mother replied, "On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, your third aunt is still a 20-year-old girl, and she has already gone to your third uncle's house."
"What's going on, Mom?" Xiulan couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, you wouldn't kidnap or anything, right?" Caiyun asked in shock.
