A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 48: This time, I want to choose "Journey to the West"! (Please read it later)

Just like last time, this money will be processed by Boss Ruoshui, who will pay 20% of the personal income tax on his behalf.

He reached for the phone next to his pillow, pulled out his calculator, and quickly typed in: 1758 million times (1-0.2) = 1406.4 million!
"Tsk!"

"When I was in school, I couldn't sleep at night and would lie in bed imagining myself winning the lottery. I could only imagine what it would be like to win five million. Now this is over 14 million after tax, more than three times what I would win five million!"

"First, I have to buy a car. It will be much more convenient if I have a car. Like this time, I drove directly to Jiangcheng with the stone."

"You can buy a house now. According to the housing prices in Tanzhou, you can directly buy a luxury house, a good one, a big one!"

"As for my parents, they're old and they absolutely can't do any more harmful physical work... As for our house, it was too small before, so what's the point in renovating it? Once it's rebuilt, I can just move into those beautiful country villas I saw on Douyin!"

Zhou Qing lay on the bed in the hotel, thinking about how to spend the money after it arrived.

As he thought about it, the smile on his lips grew wider and wider, and finally he was so happy that he couldn't help rolling around on the bed.

After completely ruffling the quilt, he felt calm again.

"Don't worry about spending money. The money is sitting in the bank account and won't disappear on its own. On the contrary... if you sell good things once or twice, no one will pay attention. But if you keep doing this, it will eventually attract attention. So it's time to start preparing a hidden antique store."

"Also, there are jade distribution centers like Pingzhou, Jieyang, and Ruili... and Hotan. I should make time to visit more often and buy more stones... It's a good opportunity to connect with the antique store business and also purchase more goods."

Thinking of the end, he stared at the ceiling for a while in a happy mood, then wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

"The days ahead will only get better and better, so just take it slow and enjoy it."

Zhou Qing slept soundly this time.

When I woke up again, it was dark outside.

When he looked at the time, it was already half past ten in the evening - he slept for a full ten hours.

I stretched and immediately felt hungry. I was too lazy to go out, so I took out my phone and ordered takeout.

While waiting for the meal, Zhou Qing sat on the single sofa chair beside the bed and called out the panel -

Name: Zhou Qing

Currently reading: Waiting to be selected
Complete reading library: "Golden Eyes", "In the Name of the People", "Return to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", etc.
Completed Intensive Reading Library: The Return of the Condor Heroes, Yellow Leaves Falling in the Autumn Wind

Cumulative number of draws: 9
Extractable items: an entry-level astronomical telescope, a Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchair, a bunch of deer meat, a book "Fun Mathematical Problems for Primary School Students", a Type 92 pistol, etc.
……

"Nine draws have already been accumulated. This round, there is only one left!"

Now he considers the cumulative ten draws as one round of reading.

Each round is ten times, and ten novels are read, in order to exchange for an opportunity to read through the four great classics.

"So far, the nine novels I've read this round have taken much more time, effort, and depth of research than the last round!"

"Last time, I only read The Return of the Condor Heroes, the only novel I read, and the rest were novellas."

"And this time, out of the nine books so far, seven are long reads, and there's also a long intensive read of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' and a medium-length intensive read of 'Yellow Leaves Falling in the Autumn Wind'!"

Based on existing experience and feedback from the panel, the time and energy spent on the previous ten readings, that is, the ten novels in each round of reading, and the degree of analysis and research, combined will directly affect the results of this round of drawing of the four great classics.

In short, the more time and energy you spend, and the deeper your analysis and research, the greater the gain in the results of reading the four great classics!
Conversely, the smaller the gain, the smaller the reward. "Last round, purely to experience the Four Great Classics as quickly as possible, I read the entire novel, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and the rest were novellas to fill in the gaps. But even then, after reading The Water Margin, I won a Song Dynasty gold ingot worth 400,000 to 500,000 RMB!"

"And in this round, the accumulation of the first nine books has already far exceeded the previous round!"

Zhou Qing was excited.

This round is promising. Maybe I can try the "Journey to the West" where there are many immortals and gods. Just in case I win something...

He couldn't help but shiver and clenched his fists.

"I'm not expecting any great Heavenly Immortal Art, Heavenly Gang Disha Magical Powers, or anything like that. As long as I can draw some of the leftovers from the gods, that will be enough for me to enjoy endlessly!"

Zhou Qing observed the panel for a while, made up his mind, and took the reading of the last novel of this round more seriously.

"Seize this last opportunity and add as much bonus as possible to this round of reading of the Four Great Classics!"

He thought about it, and in his "Reading Completed Library", novels for intensive reading appeared one by one: In the Name of the People, Ball Lightning, Alley People, Tree King, Chess King...

"First, rule out novellas."

After a little thought, Zhou Qing decided to choose from four long novels that have been adapted into film and television and received good reviews, namely "In the Name of People", "The Past by the Border Water", "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and "People in the Alley".

Then, based on the experience he had gained from the previous two intensive readings, he made a assessment from the perspective of selecting the character to study:

"Officialdom, Southeast Asia, the world of tomb raiding... well, I'm more familiar with ordinary people in ordinary life circles, and it's easier for me to study them."

Zhou Qing immediately made up his mind and chose "People in the Alley" for intensive reading, and the panel changed accordingly.

He would search for any novel he had read on his phone on the shopping app, and if it had been published as a paper book, he would immediately place an order to buy one so that he could read it in depth in the future.

Although "People in the Alley" is an online novel, it has been made into a TV series, and naturally a physical book has been published a long time ago.

Zhou Qing planned to leave tomorrow morning. He had nothing to do tonight and could start reading right away. Unfortunately, the paper book he bought was still lying under the bed in the rental house in Tanzhou, and he didn't bring his notebook with him. It felt like distant water could not quench immediate thirst.

But it didn't matter. He searched for the platform for broadcasting the TV series adapted from the novel and found that it was Mango TV, a local platform in Nanhu Province. He immediately downloaded and installed it, registered an account, activated his membership, and started watching the show.

This drama is really well-made, and each character is portrayed very vividly, including the child actors.

Zhou Qing was so engrossed in watching that his takeaway arrived and he ate while watching. Before he knew it, he had been watching until the early morning.

After watching the third episode, he sat up from the single sofa chair, ready to take a shower and then continue brushing in bed.

Just as I took off my clothes and put them on the quilt, my WeChat notification sounded. I looked and saw it was from Boss Ruoshui: "Zhou Qing, are you still in Jiangcheng?"

Zhou Qing picked up the phone and replied, "Yes."

After sending it, he thought for a moment and added, "I slept until ten o'clock in the evening. I plan to go back to Tanzhou tomorrow morning."

As soon as I sent the second sentence, the other party's message arrived: "Which hotel are you staying in? Send me the location."

Ok?
Send location?!

Zhou Qing looked puzzled.

　Everyone must come and read it tomorrow, it concerns the future of this book, please!
