During the Spring Festival, apart from playing, Xiang Nan also writes.
He has now accumulated 100,000 yuan. In 2000, this amount of money could buy a house in a second-tier city.
?However, Xiang Nan will not be satisfied, because for him, one hundred thousand yuan is just the beginning. If he wants to make money, he must make at least 100 million.
After school starts in February, it will be Zhao Ye’s birthday.
?At Xiang Nan’s suggestion, everyone pooled their money together and helped Zhao Ye buy a pair of AIRJODAN.
??He knew that Zhao Ye''s sneakers didn''t fit well, and his feet were worn out because of this, which affected his daily training.
Coupled with the fact that his father was laid off at the time, the family encountered financial difficulties. Zhao Ye was very sad about this and even quarreled with everyone.
Xiang Nan couldn''t give Zhao Ye money directly, so he could only give him this pair of sneakers, hoping to make him happy.
“Airjodan?! Damn it, are they real or fake?” Zhao Ye was really pleasantly surprised after receiving the pair of sneakers.
At that time, these were the best sneakers, and a pair cost more than 800. He once wanted it very much, but because it was too expensive, he never gave up.
Unexpectedly, everyone understood his thoughts so well. He was really touched.
"Of course it''s true." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Fortunately, it''s just the New Year and everyone has some New Year''s money. Otherwise, we wouldn''t be able to afford such expensive shoes.
Zhao Ye, if you wear such expensive shoes, you must play well. This Nike Cup is up to you! "
“Okay, no problem.” Zhao Ye said happily.
…
?Time flies by.
?The following March, April and May passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Xiang Nan was always ranked first in grade in several monthly exams, with scores above 700 points.
Such results also satisfy the school, teachers and parents very much.
In June, another piece of good news came.
?Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House wants to publish "The Injurious Incident of Young Cha Biliang" written by Xiang Nan.
This novel has been serialized in the "Sprout" magazine since last year. It has been serialized for twelve issues, each issue has 15,000 words, and has received a good response from readers.
Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House recognized its popularity and wanted to publish it in a volume.
Hang Nan would naturally not refuse this.
As a result, the publishing house sent staff to discuss the details of publishing with Xiang Nan, mainly the issue of royalties.
Since Xiang Nan is still a minor at this time, only seventeen years old, he does not have the ability to sign a contract on his own, so the publishing contract must be signed by his parents for the publishing contract to be valid.
?So Xiang Nan told his father and mother everything.
?? Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua only found out at this time that their son was secretly writing novels and had already become famous. They couldn''t help but be a little surprised.
“Son, how could you do this? It’s delaying your studies.” After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua began to complain.
“Mom, why did I delay my studies?” Xiang Nan spread his hands and said.
He is now the first in the grade. Is there any student who studies better than him?
?Zhang Xiaohua was suffocated, waving his hands and saying, "That won''t work either. You are a student, and the key is to study, you know? Writing novels takes up too much time and energy."
“Son, how much money will you make after publishing this book?” Chen Jianjun asked curiously.
"I can''t make much money, maybe two or three hundred thousand." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.
In the new century, the sales of physical books are no longer very good. And youth pain literary novels such as "The Murder Case of Young Chapiliang" have a relatively narrow audience.
That is to say, middle school and high school students in the second grade of middle school like it, but people who go to college may not like it. Therefore, it is good to sell tens of thousands of copies, and Xiang Nan does not expect it to be a hit.
“Two or three hundred thousand?!” Even so, Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua were still shocked.
??Their lifetime savings combined don’t even have that much money. Two hundred thousand yuan is really not a small amount of money. "Okay, why don''t we meet." Chen Jianjun advised Zhang Xiaohua, "My son has talents and should not be buried. Isn''t there someone who writes good essays and was recommended?"
?Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and finally nodded, "It''s just writing, but it can''t delay studying. Otherwise, you will stop immediately."
“I know.” Xiang Nan smiled.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan, accompanied by his parents, signed a publishing agreement with Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House and received an advance payment of 50,000 yuan in manuscript fees.
Xiang Nan didn’t keep the money and gave it all to his parents.
??Chen Jianjun and Zhang Xiaohua received such a large sum of money out of thin air, so they were naturally happy and kept smiling for several days.
?However happy, they still told Xiang Nan to study hard and try to get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Xiang Nan agreed one by one.
…
As June enters, the Nike Cup begins.
?The basketball team of the Experimental Middle School fought hard all the way and advanced to the finals. The results were very good.
?But in the finals, we have to face the second middle school.
The Experimental Middle School has already lost to the No. 2 Middle School once, so now facing this powerful opponent, everyone''s morale is relatively low.
To this end, Sukaite approached Xiang Nan and said, "The Nike Cup finals are about to be played. I hope you can join the game and bring honor to the school together."
"Farewell, I haven''t touched the ball in almost a year." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
“Don’t be modest, I know your skills are still there.” Su Kai smiled, “Not everyone can do a slam dunk from the free throw line.”
"Then you have to think about it carefully. If I come, nothing will happen to you." Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "If I steal your limelight, don''t cry."
"If you really have the ability, then grab it. I''m afraid you won''t." Su Kai said with a smile.
"Okay, then I will play with you." Xiang Nan nodded.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan joined the basketball team of Experimental Middle School.
“This is Chen Xun, a member of Class 1, Grade 2, the new forward of our team.” Su Kai introduced.
"Okay, buddy, you are finally here." Zhao Ye said happily when he saw it.
?Other players looked at Xiang Nan, but they all felt strange.
Because Xiang Nan has not appeared on the court for a year, his reputation has declined significantly. Especially the freshmen in the first year of high school have no impression of Xiang Nan.
“Is he really good?”
“She looks quite tall, but I don’t know how skilled she is?”
“Just give it a try, don’t be an ordinary person, you may think it’s useless.”
They discussed it one after another.
"Chen Xun, have you seen that these guys are not convinced? It seems that you have to show your hands." Su Kai looked at Xiang Nan and said.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Then come."
Subsequently, the team was divided into two groups for confrontation training.
? And Xiang Nan''s performance shocked all the team members at once.
?Stealing the ball, passing people, layups, three-pointers, rebounds, dunks, defense... Xiang Nan can''t do any of them. He is fast, skilled, and physically strong, and is almost invulnerable.
?The members of the basketball team of the Experimental Middle School were stunned and admired.
“Damn it, why hasn’t such a great master introduced the school team to the team earlier?” Everyone was surprised.
