Rebirth: Recovering My Treasure Girl

Chapter 442 Royalty Arrives

At the end of January, Chen Yang received a call from Gu Mei.

Gu Mei told Chen Yang two things on the phone.

The first thing is that the royalties for 40 copies will be credited to Chen Yang’s card in two days, so he should remember to check it.

The second is that "Chang'an Chaos" has begun to be scheduled for publication and distribution during the school season after the new year. This way, we can enjoy a wave of reader bonuses from "My Internet Love".

Sure enough, two days later, there was another call from the publishing house, saying that the royalties had been credited to the card, after tax, and that the details would be couriered to Chen Yang later.

Chen Yang went to the bank to check and found that the balance in his account was indeed over 107 million.

Chen Yang did the math and found that the royalties for one copy were 3.12 yuan, and the royalties for 40 copies were 124.8 million yuan.

But only more than 107 million was received, which means that more than 17 personal income tax was paid.

Although Chen Yang is a little reluctant, national tax revenue must be supported. Tax evasion is not a good citizen!

Around 10 o'clock in the evening on the day Chen Yang went to the bank, Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia returned home.

Chen Yang walked out of the room when he heard the door open and looked at his parents with a smile.

Because Chen Ziqiang was in urgent need of urination, he ran to the toilet as soon as he entered the door without looking at Chen Yang's expression.

Zhao Caixia naturally saw it and asked while closing the door: "Son, are you not full for dinner? Do you want mom to cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Zhao Caixia asked this because usually when they went home, Chen Yang would only peek out of the room and then continue to work on his own.

If he came out like this today, he must be hungry and want to eat.

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Mom, I'm not hungry."

Zhao Caixia changed her shoes and walked into the living room, then took off her leather bag and threw it on the sofa, and asked: "Then what are you doing out here? You are still smiling so happily."

When Chen Yang saw that his mother was going to drink water, he grabbed her cup and handed it to his mother.

"Mom, let me ask you something." Chen Yang asked with a smile.

Zhao Caixia took a sip from the water glass and looked at her son in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"Mom, if our family wants to buy a car, what kind of car do you think is appropriate?" Chen Yang asked.

Zhao Caixia paused slightly while drinking water: "Why did you suddenly ask about the car? Did your father tell you something?"

Chen Yang didn't know that when the couple chatted, Chen Ziqiang often mentioned that he wanted to buy a car.

When Chen Yang said this, Zhao Caixia thought that her husband and son also mentioned buying a car.

At this moment, Chen Ziqiang came out after going to the toilet.

Zhao Caixia immediately said angrily: "Chen Ziqiang, did you tell your son that we are going to buy a car?"

Chen Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say that!"

Zhao Caixia didn't believe it: "I didn't tell you why my son suddenly asked us what kind of car is suitable to buy?"

"Chen Ziqiang, how many times have I told you? Although our pharmacy is doing well now, the money we make is far from enough to buy a car!"

"Do you know how much it costs to buy a car? A cheap one costs more than 100,000, and a better one costs 30,000 to 400,000. And insurance and car maintenance are also a lot of expenses. You think we are rich, right?"

Zhao Caixia's mouth was like a barrage of words, which made Chen Ziqiang look confused and at a loss.

"Caixia, I really never told Xiao Yang about the car. I only talked about it when I was chatting with you. Really!" Chen Ziqiang was wronged.

Zhao Caixia still didn't believe it, so she walked to the sofa and sat down, slamming the water glass on the coffee table: "When I first started making a little money, I wanted to buy this and that. Don't forget, the pharmacy was opened with my sister. , the money earned will be shared with my sister!”

Chen Ziqiang was speechless. He suddenly felt like he couldn't wash away the pain even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Chen Yang quickly stepped forward to interrupt his mother: "Mom, please stop for a moment and listen to me first..."

Zhao Caixia stopped talking and looked at her son.

Chen Yang said seriously: "Mom, it doesn't matter to Dad what car you want to buy just now. It's my own idea. I want to buy you a car!"

Zhao Caixia blinked her eyes blankly, her mind a little confused.

Chen Ziqiang came over immediately and asked in surprise: "Xiao Yang, you said you wanted to buy us a car?"

Zhao Caixia suddenly reacted and asked quickly: "Xiao Yang, have you received the royalties for your new novel?"

Chen Yang said: "Mom, it's not the royalties from the new novel, but the royalties from the previous book."

Because it has been so long, Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia are busy with the pharmacy every day.

So they almost forgot about the royalties from the book "My Internet Love".

Zhao Caixia asked: "How much money has been received?"

Chen Ziqiang also said: "Xiao Yang, I heard that your novel sold well. You should get hundreds of thousands in royalties, right?"

Chen Yang had told them the approximate range of royalties before, so Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia were already somewhat mentally prepared.

Chen Yang smiled and said: "107 million will be received after tax."

Chen Ziqiang nodded: "Well, that's quite a lot...wait, how many?"

Chen Ziqiang's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at his son in disbelief.

Zhao Caixia asked with a blank expression: "Son, did you just say... 107 million?"

Chen Yang nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it was originally more than 124 million, but I paid more than 17 personal income tax, so the after-tax amount is 107 million."

Only then did Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia confirm that they heard correctly. They looked at each other almost at the same time, so surprised that they didn't know what to say.

Chen Yang continued: "This is a royalty of 40 copies. It will be settled at regular intervals in the future. The specific amount depends on the sales volume."

"In the future... in the future?" Zhao Caixia was shocked.

"Yes, as long as people still buy my books, there will always be royalties in the future, but as sales decrease, the royalties will become less and less." Chen Yang explained.

Chen Ziqiang never expected that the royalties could be so huge, and his son instantly became a millionaire, and this was the first time the royalties were settled.

At this moment, Chen Ziqiang was extremely shocked.

Fortunately, he controlled his emotions and expressions well and did not let his son see his unexperienced look.

Later, Chen Yang patiently explained some issues related to novel royalties to his parents.

After their emotions almost stabilized, Chen Yang asked about buying a car again.

"Dad, Mom, I said before that when I make money, I will buy you a car to drive. Now that I have money, you can choose whatever car you want to buy within one million!" Chen Yang laughed! said.

Zhao Caixia was so frightened that she quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, what kind of car are you buying? Why waste that money? Isn't this good now?"

Chen Ziqiang still wants to buy a car, but since his wife has said so, he can't immediately disagree.

So he said, "Yes, there is no need to buy a car now. In a few years, when our pharmacy makes money, we can buy it ourselves. You can just keep the money in the bank and earn interest!"

Zhao Caixia immediately became energetic when she heard about interest, and immediately nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Hey, hey, if one million is deposited in the bank, the interest for one year should be quite a lot, right?"

Chen Ziqiang immediately said: "Isn't that right? On a regular basis, it would be more than 20,000 a year!"

When Zhao Caixia heard this, she immediately became a money fan and began to make small calculations.

Next, Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia ignored Chen Yang's proposal to buy a car and concentrated on discussing which bank had higher interest rates.

Chen Yang was speechless, shook his head and returned to the room helplessly.
