I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 63 The royalties arrive
Friday, July 12th.

After class in the morning, Li Xu did not leave with Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang and others as usual, but left in a hurry alone.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he couldn't wait to open his laptop and log into the writer's section.

Looking at the page of royalties income, which read '(November 2010) Total income 11, Payment status (paid)', Li Xu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It wasn’t easy. I wrote the novel for more than three months and finally got the royalties!

Strictly speaking, the more than 11 yuan that arrived in November cannot be considered as real royalties.

In fact, the royalties came out as early as the 3rd. Li Xu had been looking forward to the money for the whole week, especially last night, when he didn't sleep well.

For the protagonists in rebirth novels, the first pot of gold must be at least tens of millions, or even a small goal.

But for Li Xu, this 76 yuan (before tax) is his first pot of gold in his life, which is of extraordinary significance.

With this money, he can buy a house and have the capital to speculate in paper gold. In the previous two or three months, he has been doing small-scale speculation.

More importantly, he can finally start implementing his next plan.

Shooting short videos, hyping traffic, increasing popularity, and preparing for filming web series and movies are the keys to his career taking off.

Plagiarizing novels can only make a little money, and plagiarizing songs is purely a side job for Li Xu. In this era of rampant piracy, it is too difficult to make money from this.

To take off quickly, you have to rely on copying dramas. You can make tens of millions by making a good web drama (short drama).

Only by earning the first small goal in life as soon as possible and truly possessing the capital and strength can you make full use of the Honor Magic6pro.

The most valuable thing about that mobile phone is not the novels, songs, short plays (movies) stored in it.

Instead, it is a mobile phone chip, three AI (big data models), Douyin's client (algorithm), and the client of the game Peace Elite.

Thinking of this, Li Xu clicked on the tax details again.

Total income before tax is 766234.03, total income after tax is 680409.27, and total tax is 85824.76.

After tax deduction, 85824.76 was deducted, which means that the actual amount of money you can get is only 68.

Seeing that eighty to ninety thousand yuan had been deducted in taxes, it was impossible for Li Xu to say that he didn't feel any pain at all.

But he also understood that taxes must be paid and tax evasion and tax avoidance must not be done, otherwise he will be held accountable sooner or later.

What's more, he had no chance to evade or avoid taxes, as the platform withheld taxes on his behalf before the royalties were received.

After checking the income, Li Xu clicked on the management work again and completed today's daily update. He updated four chapters of "The Mystery", guaranteed three chapters, added one chapter, and updated two chapters of "The Tao of Weirdness".

The new book "Tao Weird Immortal" has been uploaded for a week. Thanks to the popularity brought by "Strange Secret" and the halo of the new god, it has more than 5,000 collections before it is recommended, and has rushed to the (fantasy) category click list and recommendation list.

The list of new books by contracted authors even topped the list.

However, regarding Li Xu's double dismissal, there was a lot of discussion on Qidian and L's Sky (forum).

Neither editors, readers, nor other authors were optimistic about his actions.

Everyone thinks that he is still too young and is getting cocky as soon as he achieves some success. He is really eager to try dual-opening and challenge himself.

Among them, fans of "The Mysterious" had the biggest complaints, thinking that Li Xu was simply not doing his job properly and was not focusing on writing "The Mysterious" but was starting a new book.

Especially the new book is written in a crazy way, it is simply unbearable to read.

Fortunately, there was no fan culture at that time, and readers were relatively tolerant, so there was no incident of expelling him from the author list of "Mysterious".

There are also some authors who are jealous of Li Xu, and many black fans, who are spreading the word that he is "Zhongyong's injury" and will soon run out of talent.

However, Li Xu doesn't care about these comments from the outside world at all. He will use facts to slap the faces of those who question him and let them understand what true "genius" is.

Talented, creative, and quick-witted... all these compliments can be used to describe him, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

In fact, for a real "plagiarist" like him who can copy and paste, having two accounts is nothing. If he wasn't afraid of being too shocking and arousing suspicion, he could even have three, four, or five accounts... As for having a second account, forget it. As long as he does it, he will be found out sooner or later.

As soon as Li Xu finished delivering the book, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang, He Weichen and others returned to the dormitory one after another.

Seeing Li Xu sitting in front of the laptop, Xu Haoyang said with a bit of surprise: "Brother Xu, you didn't go out?"

Just now, when he saw Li Xu walking so fast, he thought he had something urgent to do.

"I'll be out right away." Li Xu said, closed his laptop and stood up.

"Brother Xu, what are you going to do? Going on a date?" Shen Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"Needless to say, it must be a date." Xu Haoyang said with a smile.

Li Xu ignored the two boys, opened the cabinet, found a newly bought woolen jacket and jeans, put them on, and then fixed his hair in front of the mirror.

He planned to go to CCB and transfer 400,000 yuan to the ICBC card to speculate in paper gold, and also to send 20,000 yuan to his family.

The remaining 260,000 yuan will be used as a down payment for a house and for other daily expenses.

However, before going to the bank, he had to go to the girls' dormitory and call Luo Jiahui out.

How does the saying go? Money is for women to look at, not to spend.

For girls like Luo Jiahui, appropriately showing financial strength can greatly speed up the progress of the strategy.

Li Xu finally understood that romance and touching stories were useless to Luo Jiahui, but they were of little use.

It would be better to do something practical, such as taking her to eat well, buying her some clothes, cosmetics, bags, etc.

On Wednesday night, he took Luo Jiahui out for a Japanese meal, spending three or four hundred yuan.

It was obvious that she was happier than when she received the bouquet of 268 roses.

However, this was the only time he had an appointment with her in these three or four days.

After Li Xu packed up and left, Shen Qiang immediately turned to Xu Haoyang and said, "Tell me, how far has Brother Xu and Luo Jiahui progressed?"

Xu Haoyang shook his head after hearing this. "How would I know? But judging by the momentum, he's probably making pretty good progress. He's already reached second base, and third isn't out of the question."

After a pause, he smiled and joked, "Maybe Brother Xu won't come back tonight!"

"Haha!" Shen Qiang smiled in agreement, but the smile was a little forced and the expression on his face was rather complicated.

After a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I must find a girlfriend before the end of this semester."

Xu Haoyang glanced at Shen Qiang, but his face was full of disbelief.

There is still more than a month left before the holiday, and he doesn't believe that the other party can find a girlfriend so quickly.

Now, there are two people in dormitory 416 who are no longer single, one is Li Xu and the other is Li Guanfu.

This guy first pursued Fu Linlin, but after failing for a month, he turned to pursue Jiang Jingni. After pursuing her for a while, he saw that there was no hope, so he gave up decisively. Now he is with a girl in Class 1.

International Trade Class 1 and 2 often attend classes together and have more contact with each other.

I can only say that in a school like Yingcai College where there are more girls than boys, as long as the boys are not particularly bad and are a little thick-skinned, they will not have trouble finding a girlfriend.

　Don’t talk about ringtones, check the information before you criticize me.

　　After 2010, it became difficult for singers to make money from ringtones.

　　During this period, piracy was rampant, and the Internet was full of free music sources. Singers' main income came from concerts and commercial performances.
