By the Spring Festival of 2005, the profit sharing amounted to just under thirty thousand yuan, and it was estimated that it wouldn’t exceed fifty thousand in the future. This amount of money could be considered as one person’s salary, and Gong Mingxia was very satisfied.
ng Xiuying had given her another one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, fifty thousand from the "Daqing Concubine" profit sharing and one hundred thousand from the new work "General’s daughter," of which she only took a 20% share. This showed that ng Xiuying had indeed beco the legendary figure she was touted to be. Her works had beco popular, even serving as a mainstay on the website, and with increased recomndations ca naturally higher inco. Furthermore, "Daqing Concubine" was on its way to publication and "General’s daughter" was also in negotiations, promising a bright future.
ng Xiuying had already bought two apartnts in one go, and if she played her cards right, she might even beco a landlady, given her very bright prospects.
"General’s Family" was currently being serialized, and Gong Mingxia felt that the effort she was putting in and the money she was receiving were sowhat disproportionate—she was getting too much, which made her feel a bit embarrassed. So she approached ng Xiuying to see if she could take over the writing and thus wouldn’t need to give her a share. To her surprise, ng Xiuying disagreed.
"Sister, you must never say that. It’s precisely because we create together, discuss the outlines jointly, and can correct any flaws in real ti that we have made it this far. If it were just , I wouldn’t be able to spot the flaws in the outline, and it would be embarrassing if loopholes erged. So, don’t sell yourself short; your contribution is significant. You deserve this share of the money and shouldn’t feel pressured. In fact, I want to give you more; 20% is too little."
"No, no, no, 20% is already a lot. Since that’s the case, let’s continue collaborating. Actually, I still feel like I’m taking advantage of you, haha!"
"Not at all, sister. This is certainly not taking advantage. "
Since ng Xiuying was so sincere, Gong Mingxia went along with the natural course of their collaboration, figuring she could just bring it up again in the future if she ever felt ready to go it alone.
Thus, her savings rose to two hundred and eighty thousand yuan, and coupled with the restaurant’s inco from the second half of 2004, the average monthly profit reached twenty thousand yuan. After the year-end inventory, subtracting daily expenses, there was still two hundred thousand left.
Indeed, at the end of 2004, she had reached a savings of five hundred thousand yuan, including the Old Lady’s rental inco.
Over the years, Cao Yuan had also saved up one hundred thousand yuan, which she was planning to invest entirely in the stock market.
She would have to be prepared throughout 2005 because, by early 2006, the bull market would begin.
Of course, the fifty thousand yuan she had invested in the stock market over the past two years hadn’t all made money; so had profited and so had lost. The gains had covered the losses, and she was left with a profit, which was already a good sign.
Through a year of learning, she, who was completely unfamiliar with the stock market, had gradually gotten the hang of it.
In June of 2005, Xiao Xiao moved up to middle school, passing the entrance exam for Experintal Middle School and entering a key junior high.
That sa month, she received a profit share of twelve thousand yuan.
