Living in the new house at Longjiang Garden, the four members of the family finally have their own bedrooms.
My sister can study in the study during the day.
No matter if you take a shower at night or get up in the morning to wash, you no longer have to wait in line for the bathroom.
Most importantly, Lin Yuan's body is recovering!
This wiped out the gloom of everyone in the family.
Only when there is no burden in the heart can we truly enjoy happiness.
However, the Spring Festival holiday is very short, and Lin Xuan will return to work at the company after living in the new house for a few more days.
Lin Yuan is the same.
Although his winter vacation is not over, the days he and Lao Zhou asked for leave have expired, and he has to return to the company to cancel his leave.
So he, like his sister, went to Suzhou City during the family's farewell and various orders to take medicine on time.
At this time, all major companies that ended their annual leave resumed operations.
At Xingmang, the colleagues who had gained a few pounds due to eating too much during the Spring Festival also returned to work.
"How was the Spring Festival?"
After the Spring Festival, Lao Zhou, who was also a little heavier, patted his stomach and asked about Lin Yuan, who came to sell his leave.
"Pretty good."
Lin Yuan gave a standard answer.
Lao Zhou nodded and looked at Lin Yuan with great satisfaction. "The song 'Balloon' performed very well. It has stabilized in fifth place this season. You did a very good job!"
"Okay."
Lin Yuan remained tepid.
Lao Zhou smiled and didn't take offense. He was obviously used to Lin Yuan's demeanor. "Alright, you can go to work."
Lin Yuan walked out of the office.
Upon arriving at the composition department, Lin Yuan's colleagues congratulated him. "Balloon" had reached fifth place in the February death group. This achievement was remarkable.
"But the folks upstairs will be proud this year."
Wu Yong said bitterly, "Kong Zhen, one of the kings on the 18th floor, won this year's championship track. It is said that he was commended at today's high-level meeting."
The championship track?
Upon learning this news, Lin Yuan understood why Lao Zhou seemed to be in a good mood today. It turned out that someone in the company had won first place in the death group this year.
This was exciting news for Starlight.
Of course, Lin Yuan didn't feel any jealousy. He even listened to this month's championship tracks with curiosity and came to a conclusive conclusion after listening:
The winner deserved it!
Lin Yuan was already amazed by the abundance of talent in the Blue Star music industry. He was pleased to see such a situation. The prosperity of the market was beneficial for Lin Yuan.
After work that evening, Lin Yuan returned to his residence, opened the windows for ventilation, and changed the bedding. The house, which had been unoccupied for a long time, needed a bit of cleaning up.
After finishing the room, Lin Yuan received a call.
The caller was Yang Feng. The first thing the other party said was a congratulation: "The current sales of 'Net King' are very good. In order to show that the company values Teacher Chu Kuang, we've decided to amend the contract for Teacher Chu Kuang. It has been sent to your inbox. Please take a look."
Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
Yinlan Bookstore was indeed ready to amend the contract for him.
After hanging up, Lin Yuan glanced at the new contract. The royalties in the new contract had increased from 5% to 7%.
On the surface, it wasn't a significant increase.
However, considering the overall sales of "Net King," this improvement was substantial, amounting to several hundred thousand yuan.
There weren't many changes in other areas.
Lin Yuan made sure that the contract didn't include a clause requiring Chu Kuang's next book to be published exclusively by Yinlan Bookstore.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan was very pleased with the increase in royalties.
He printed a new contract, signed it, and sent it to Yinlan Bookstore. Then, he waited for the signed and sealed contract to be returned.
...
Yinlan Bookstore's location was also in Suzhou City, so the amended contract arrived the next day, marking the contract's effectiveness. Lin Yuan also sent the third volume of "Net King" to Yang Feng.
This book consisted of five volumes.
The completion of the first volume of the third volume meant that the book would be finished in a few months. Lin Yuan felt a little reluctant to think about it, as he didn't have any new novels lined up.
"Ding!"
The system always seemed to anticipate Lin Yuan's thoughts and concerns: "Since the host has no outstanding debts and has a certain ability to make money, the system has opened a custom mall. The host can spend money to customize the system in the future!"
Lin Yuan was taken aback. "Customize?"
The system replied: "For example, if the host needs a specific type of novel or song, etc., it can be exchanged with the system for a certain amount of money. Of course, the host can also request a specific work by name, but the exchange price will be higher."
"Oh."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "So, if I want a song of a certain genre, the system can provide it according to my request, but there will be a charge, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and continued, "For example, if I want a rock-style song, that would be considered customization. Of course, I'm just giving an example. How much would you charge for that?"
The system replied: "Five hundred thousand."
Lin Yuan exclaimed, "That's quite steep!"
The system responded, "This is a voluntary exchange. The system won't force the host, and it can guarantee the quality of the song. Rest assured, the system won't deceive the host with a rock song."
"I see."
Lin Yuan was noncommittal and asked another question, "What about precise customization? For example, if I specify a certain name and request a particular song or novel, how do you generally charge for that?"
"Precise customization."
The system explained, "The charging standard isn't uniform and depends on the specific works requested by the host. Of course, providing 'Learning Meow' could be inexpensive, but if the host requests popular classics, it could cost hundreds of millions or even more."
"Quite steep!"
Lin Yuan couldn't help but comment. However, he understood that this type of customization could be profitable, akin to an investment, although the profit-making cycle might be longer. In general, having this feature was advantageous as it could address Lin Yuan's problem of limited inventory.
Especially when faced with orders like "Big Fish," this system customization feature was designed for such demands!
However, such orders were relatively rare.
It was like a boss randomly spawning in a game. Not only was it challenging to encounter, but whenever it appeared, there would be a scramble to claim it.
Making money was no easy feat.
To ensure he had enough stock for future needs, Lin Yuan might need to customize some songs when necessary. However, he wasn't planning to do so anytime soon. He preferred to wait until he became a senior composer at the company and could secure a higher share contract...
Despite scolding the system for being expensive, Lin Yuan knew deep down that this kind of customization was profitable. It was like an investment, albeit with a longer profit cycle. In general, having this feature was advantageous, as it could address Lin Yuan's issue of limited inventory.
