Hello, 1983

In the cheerful atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, the eighth day passed in a flash.

The second sister, Liu Yinfeng, left on the fifth day of the first lunar month. After staying at home for less than a week, she flew back to the United States in a hurry.

The factories of the eldest sister and the old sister also officially started on the fifth day of the first day, and they also went there to work.

Going, coming, coming, one after another, at Liu Qingshan's house, some guests began to come.

Those who are close, such as members of the village committees of Dingjiagou, Shoulin Village and Dalinzi, first come to Jiapigou to pay New Year's greetings.

Everyone got together, had a drink, and talked about the future development.

There is a long way to go, that is, Hai Dagui leads Hai Mingzhu.

In addition, Professor Wu also led a pair of children, Wu Song and Wu Tong, to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition to their family of three, there was one who followed, of course, He Mengfei.

These two girls also took leave to come back for the New Year.

On the island country, it's not Spring Festival, and they celebrate New Year's Day.

On the one hand, these two girls came back to reunite with their families, on the other hand, they mainly thought of Liu Qingshan.

In more than half a year, their comics have become well-known and their income is quite considerable, so I made a special trip to express my thanks and discuss with Liu Qingshan about the future development plan.

For specific things, Liu Qingshan is no longer able to guide the two girls. He is only responsible for providing the outline. For the rest, the two professionals do not need him to dictate.

However, some programmatic things proposed by Liu Qingshan have more guiding significance for the development of the company.

The first general meeting of shareholders of Qingshan Animation Company was also officially held on the head of Liu Qingshan's house.

All shareholders are in place, including: Liu Qingshan, Wu Tong, He Mengfei, Caifeng, Shanxing, Xiaohuo.

Uh, the last one is crawling back and forth on the kang to play, it doesn't count.

He Mengfei first spoke happily: Hee hee, I have good news to report to Chairman Liu. A publishing company has already contacted me to publish Cherry Maruko in a single book.

This is what Liu Qingshan expected,

Cherry Marukoko, that is the national animation in the minds of men, women and children of the island country, and no one can shake its status.

So he nodded: When the time comes to negotiate the contract, the original author's share ratio must be higher.

This share is the main source of income for cartoonists, generally between 5% and 15%, depending on the reputation and works of the cartoonist.

The newcomer's share is very low.

He Mengfei also muttered dissatisfiedly, she just entered the industry, and it is estimated that she is the lowest grade.

Liu Qingshan thought for a while: Then sign a short-term contract first, open up the market and sales first, and make money later.

A comic can be done for decades, so don't worry.

Liu Qingshan was still in a good mood: Haha, we Qingshan Anime can finally pick up the little devil's wool!

The shareholders present all laughed happily, accompanied by wow wow cry, it was a small fire, and his head accidentally knocked on the window sill.

Actually, it has already made money.

Wu Tong took out a small notebook, and then opened it: After the comics are serialized, there will be income every week, and we will take notes on it one by one.

Sister Wu, let me see how much money I have!

Xiao Lao Si, a small fortune fan, directly put his little head together, and then made a wow in his mouth:

so much!

Wu Tong gently tugged at her antenna braid: It's written in Japanese yen. Our dollar can be exchanged for dozens of yen.

It turned out to be the case, and the fourth youngest could not help but feel a little disappointed. She and Shan Xing had a small share of the shares.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: You keep the money first, and prepare to set up a studio and recruit comic assistants.

You can't just count on the two of you all the time, it's no wonder you're not tired.

Generally well-known cartoonists will hire one or even several assistants.

It's expensive to hire a comic assistant. Wu Tong frowned slightly, obviously a little distressed.

The two of them, Cherry Marukoko and Zhonghua Xiaozhu, now have a combined income of just over 2 million yen.

A manga assistant has an annual salary of at least several hundred thousand yen.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, Once you become famous, you will naturally have a lot of money, so don't worry about this little money.

Small money? Measured by the economy of the island country, it may be a small amount of money, but for the current Huaxia, the per capita salary is less than 100 yuan, and this money is indeed a bit distressing.

We'll make more money.

Liu Qingshan continued to enlighten the two girls. For Chinese people who are used to being frugal, asking them to spend money lavishly is more difficult than making money.

Well then, we will give it a try at the right time.

Wu Tong replied with some inconspicuousness.

Not a try, but a must.

Liu Qingshan took the posture of the company's chairman, which is beyond doubt.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and the eldest brother-in-law, Gao Wenxue, came back from the commune in a hurry.

After taking off his cotton-padded jacket, he excitedly opened his backpack. Inside were dozens of letters, probably all sent to him by readers.

He took out a letter from it: Fourth and fifth, your letter!

Are we?

These two little guys were a little stunned: who wrote to us?

But soon, the two girls jumped to the ground, and the little old fourth shouted, Letters, letters!

This was the first time they had received a letter, so they seemed very excited.

Shan Xing was more calm, looked at the mailing address printed on the envelope, two big eyes immediately completed the two crescents: It's from the art film studio!

Opening the envelope, the two of them read the letter together, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter.

After reading the letter, the two little girls hugged and danced together:

Haha, the idea of ​​the gourd baby was adopted, and they said they would reward us with 70 yuan!

The idea of ​​putting a label on the forehead of the gourd baby was tinkered with by two little guys, and it was unexpected that it was really adopted. No wonder they were so happy.

The most important thing is that there is a remuneration of 70 yuan. This money is really nothing to the four and five, but it represents success and honor, and it is of great significance.

The youngest fourth began to divide the money, and Shan Xing and each of them shared thirty-five.

Shan Xing has a different opinion: We belong to Qingshan Animation Company, and this is also our remuneration, so it should be handed over to the company.

Then each of us can get seventy-five cents!

The little fourth figure came out soon, and the little face immediately twitched into a ball.

Hahaha, there was laughter from everyone in the room, and there was no lack of encouragement in it: they were only in the third grade of elementary school, and it was very good to have this achievement.

As the company's chairman, Liu Qingshan waved his hand generously: This money is too memorable, so keep it all for yourselves.

He Mengfei next to him also blinked his big eyes hard: Then can I keep all the manuscript fees for Wu Tong and I?

The answer to her, of course, is think beautifully.

After arranging the affairs of Aoyama Animation, the board of directors closed successfully this time, and began to put the table to eat.

The old people sat at a table, and the young people also crowded into a table, it was lively.

Lin Zhi looked around her son, and the three girls, Hai Mingzhu, Wu Tong, and Zheng Xiaoxiao, were sitting one by one.

Not only the appearance of spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, but also their strengths, and all of them are capable.

The more she looked, the more happy she became, but she was also a little worried: it's not easy to choose!

Looking at his son's young and handsome face again, Lin Zhi felt that he should stop worrying about it.

Because He Mengfei was present, he also called Zhang Kuozi to have dinner together.

He Mengfei went to study in an island country, so now the two of them rarely have time to get together. It is estimated that He Mengfei came to Jiapigou for this reason.

The current relationship between the two can only be maintained first, and they need to succeed in their respective fields before they have a chance to truly come together.

The dishes on the table are of course very rich, but Zheng Xiao's snacks are a little unpalatable.

I don't know how to do it, but seeing Wu Tong emerging in the field of comics, and even Hai Mingzhu leading the villagers on the road to get rich, Zheng Xiaoxiao felt a pressure inexplicably.

Her original goal was to study hard and get admitted to the ideal university.

But now she suddenly thinks more long-term: what about after entering university?

It seems that what Dulu said makes sense. She can no longer die studying, but she should look up at the world and start planning her life in the future...

Miss, eat mushrooms. Shan Xing put a few slices of mushrooms into Zheng Xiao's bowl.

Only then did Zheng Xiaoxiao come back to his senses: You also eat mountain apricots.

After she finished speaking, she thought for a while and asked Xiang Shanxing, Fifth, what is your ideal in the future, can you tell the young lady?

Before Shan Xing could answer, the little old man raised his hand first:

Miss, my ideal is to become a millionaire when I grow up!

At the dinner table, everyone smiled involuntarily: Well, this ideal is very great, and it also fits the style of the fourth youngest.

Sitting next to the fourth child is Hai Mingzhu. She smiled and pulled the fourth child's antenna braid: Sifeng'er, you will definitely succeed!

Then everyone's eyes were fixed on Shan Xing again. Shan Xing looked a little nervous, looked up at Liu Qingshan, and whispered:

I hope that when I grow up, I can help my big brother.

Everyone nodded, this seems to be in line with Shan Xing's character and mind.

Only Liu Qingshan shook his head and raised his hand to touch Shan Xing's watermelon head:

The fifth one, each of us should not be the shadow of others. We should have our own ideals and our own lives.

Live for others, let those who love you live better; also live for yourself and bloom the most beautiful flowers in your life.

Shan Xing lowered her head: Brother, I still don't understand what you said, but I will remember it.

The other people at the table are also thoughtful, and everyone is thinking about the same question: what is my ideal?

For a time, the lively dining table became a little quieter.

At this time, a car horn sounded outside, and it was the eldest sister Liu Jinfeng and the old sister Yang Hongying who rushed back from the county.

Surprisingly, in their car, they also brought back two guests, who were foreign friends.

Seeing the top of Victor's thinning head, Liu Qingshan hurried up and hugged enthusiastically: Hi, my friend, it seems that your hair and the money you have are inversely proportional.

Victor was stunned for a moment, then laughed and patted Liu Qingshan's shoulder with his hands: Then I don't know when I can become bald?

They are all old friends, and they are joking when they meet, but they are more cordial than normal greetings.

Liu Qingshan hugged the handsome guy Leo again: My friend, where's your Ruth?

Leo shrugged: She seems to be on a big ship called the Titanic with that guy named Jack.

A few people laughed again, then washed their hands and invited to the dinner table.

The fourth and fifth, they also finished eating, just to make room.

Well, the dishes are very rich.

Victor praised in his mouth, and then said what he really wanted to say: But why is there no wine?

Leo also licked his lips: Shouldn't you take out the monkey wine and entertain guests from afar?

Liu Qingshan knew that they came for the monkey wine.

However, Master Guo went home for the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't come yet. No one dared to touch the monkey wine in his wine cellar.

In fact, Liu Qingshan is also a bit greedy. This year's Monkey Wine has continued to improve the craftsmanship, and he does not know the specific situation.

Liu Qingshan is also very concerned, because it involves the next development of Monkey Wine.

At this time, Liu Jinfeng added: On the way back when we drove back, we met Master Guo, who was riding a bicycle to our village. It is estimated that he will be there soon.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, a bicycle bell rang in the courtyard.

This time, even Victor and Leo went out with them.

Lao Guo's health is much better now. In one winter, he never suffered from bronchitis. He didn't dare to go out of the house in previous winters. Now he can run for dozens of miles on a bicycle.

Leaning the bicycle against the fence, Lao Guo said cheerfully, So warm, do you welcome me as a person or my wine?

Everyone is welcome. The fourth little brother rushed up with a smile, and handed over his little handkerchief, asking Grandpa Guo to wipe his sweat.

She was also thinking about drinking monkey wine.

You little greedy cat. Lao Guo simply didn't enter the house, he directly greeted Liu Qingshan to go to the wine cellar with him, and soon returned with a big jar.

It seems that Lao Guo is also very confident, and he directly took one jar instead of testing it one jar after another like last year.

It's definitely not sour vinegar, I can smell the aroma of monkey wine! Little Old Fourth kept twitching his little nose.

Liu Qingshan was vaccinated next to him: If it's vinegar, it's just right to dip dumplings.

Lao Guo laughed loudly: Don't worry, this wine will definitely make it, but I don't know how much it can achieve compared to the real monkey wine!

After speaking, he patted open the mud seal, tore off the seal, and then, a strong aroma spread out in the house.

Everyone involuntarily swallowed a few saliva, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the wine jar.

Bring a bowl!

Old Guo's arrogance greatly increased.

Bowls of amber-colored monkey wine were poured out and given to the old people at the table on the kang. Then, Liu Qingshan also hurriedly took a sip.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and when he drank it, this wine was as delicious as the wine made by the monkeys in the fairy cave.

Lao Guo couldn't wait to take a sip, then nodded, then shook his head: Probably 80%.

Anyway, the difference here, everyone can't taste it.

The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became lively again, and the girls also put down their restraint and drank the monkey wine together.

While drinking, Liu Jinfeng said, Fourth and fifth, you're almost done, be careful to go crazy when you drink too much.

The little fourth raised his little hand and pointed to the kang: The little fire is still drinking.

Sure enough, Liu Shikui dipped the head of his chopsticks with the monkey wine, then put it into Xiaohuo's mouth, the little guy's mouth was tight, and he tutted.

This made Liu Jinfeng very happy: Every one of these people has become a little drunk!

At this time, Victor's voice sounded next to him: Liu, it seems that we can talk about exporting monkey wine.
