However, the sales volume of 500,000 is not easy.

Tanaka's caution will come soon.

"The first edition is still 10,000 copies."

10,000 copies are printed, which is the normal treatment of a new novelist.

Jiu Mu also understood this and didn't say much at the moment. He hurried to do what he should be doing.

Signing the contract, and other details.

The contract is fine, I agreed with Teacher Higashino and just use a fax machine to get it done.

Of course, because Teacher Higashino is still relatively young, this contract signing requires the supervision of the Togashino and his wife.

These details are easy to handle.

It's June 11th, and it's Sunday.

A letter was sent to the Dongye Grocery Store.

The post office usually has a rest on Sundays, but obviously this letter was from Dali Village that we arrived at the night before, so just bring it over.

"From Tokyo." The person who brought the letter put it down and left.

Dongyegang looked at the letter and said nothing for a moment.

"Husband! Go and call your son down!"

"well."

"Close the store!"

“Yes, yes.”

The Dongye couple were both a little panicked.

Because there is a mark on it from the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House.

...

"Come?"

Kokoto Higashino was summoned to the master bedroom of the Higashino family.

It's still the same small table, it's the one who eats, it's the one who does other things.

The three Higashino family sat around the table, staring at the letters on the table.

No words were spoken.

"That..." Dongyegang saw that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he wanted to say something.

But Chiyo Higashino immediately interrupted him and said to his son: "Child, come and tear it down, and then, if there is anything inside, you can recite it to your parents."

That's right, Dongye Gang wanted to say that, but since his wife said it, that's great.

He showed a kind fatherly smile and looked at his son.

Kokoshi Higashino was also a little excited. He understood that this letter must have something to do with the royalties.

But since it's all like this, then just do it.

When I opened it, there was a remittance check inside.

In addition, there is a short letter.

"Hello, Mr. Higashino:

The masterpiece "After School" was published by our company's literary and artistic works in the spring and autumn. It is a great honor.

This letter is expressed to express gratitude and also to receive remuneration.

According to the agreement, the original manuscript remuneration was 2.2 million yen.

The novel is launched, printed 10,000 copies, and is priced at 1,000 yen.

According to the 10% royalty, it is actually 1 million yen.

According to the tax law, if there is no more than 3.3 million yen, 10% personal income tax is required.

Check 2.88 million yen cheque, please check it.

…”

There are some polite words at the end.

After Higashino finished reciting, he hadn't waited for him.

"Ah hahaha..."

"Husband, I'm not dazzled, there are so many zeros!"

"Wife! Nothing is dazzled, no!"

"This is more than both of us earning a year!"

The Higashino couple looked at the check and burst into tears.

Well, happy, it will make people cry...
Chapter completed!
