It’s not expensive. Moreover, it is said that the house payment can be paid off in one year.”

As Du Feng said, it is a bit embarrassing for overseas Chinese apartment houses to be sold at this stage.

At this time, the gap between the rich and the poor in society was not large. Those who could spend so much money to buy a house were all prominent figures in society, but the living conditions of such figures would certainly not be too bad. This is a paradox.

Lin Chaoyang's brows moved. He could also see that this landlord was not simple. He even provided installment payments. He really followed the spirit of the old man's words!

"The house is definitely expensive, but this landlord is quite interesting. There are not many houses that meet your and my sister's requirements. I'll just say this. If you want to see it, I will take you to see it. If you don't want to go, forget it."

Du Feng also knows that no matter whether the landlord lowers the price or pays in installments, the houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartment in Garden Village are still too expensive for the general public at this stage.

Although my brother-in-law earns a lot of money from writing now, it doesn't mean that he can just buy it. It may cost him his income in the next few years or more than ten years.

But then again, you may only buy a house once in your life. Who doesn’t buy a house like this?

Although the Huayuan Village Overseas Chinese Apartment has been built for more than ten years, it can still be regarded as one of the houses with the best hardware conditions in Yanjing so far. There are few houses for sale. This opportunity is indeed rare.

After listening to Du Feng's words, Lin Chaoyang looked thoughtful, and finally said: "I know about this. I will discuss it with your sister when I get home. If you want to go see it, I will contact you."

"Buying a house is a big deal. You two really need to discuss it carefully. Then I'll wait for your news."

After Du Feng left, Lin Chaoyang returned to the library. Not long after, someone downstairs said that someone was looking for him.

He went downstairs and saw a strange middle-aged man. The middle-aged man introduced himself as Liang Junshu, the editor of Warrior Publishing House. This time he was entrusted by the publishing house to talk to Lin Chaoyang about the publication of a single volume of "Garland Under the Mountain".

"Hello, Editor Liang!" Lin Chaoyang shook hands with Liang Junshu enthusiastically.

"Hello, Comrade Chaoyang!"

Previously, the Humanities Press wanted to publish a single volume of "Wreaths Under the Mountains". Lin Chaoyang called Du Ruolin, but he asked Lin Chaoyang to wait, but he was unclear. Now it seems that the answer is to Warrior Publishing House.

No wonder my uncle told him not to worry.

Warrior Publishing House is affiliated to the leadership of the General Staff and mainly publishes military textbooks. It officially became a comprehensive publishing house in 1966. Its full name is Chinese People's Liberation Army Warrior Publishing House, or "Warrior Publishing House" for short.

"Garland Under the Mountain" itself is a military-themed novel, and it has aroused such a great response among domestic readers before, so there is nothing wrong with it being published by Warrior Publishing House.

The only thing that troubled Lin Chaoyang was the issue of royalties. Du Feng just brought news about the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

If they really wanted to buy a house like the Overseas Chinese Apartment, the couple would still be short of a lot of savings.

"How much royalties does the publishing house plan to pay?" The two chatted for a while, and Lin Chaoyang asked bluntly.

Liang Junshu's expression was slightly surprised, and then he said: "For such an influential work as "Garland Under the Mountain", the royalties we pay are naturally high. Our publishing house just received a notice from above a few days ago, and now the royalties have been adjusted.

The standard manuscript fee for "Wreaths Under the Mountains" is ten yuan per thousand words."

"Is there any payment for the number of prints?" Lin Chaoyang asked again.

Liang Junshu nodded, "We fully comply with the new regulations, and the royalties for each print run are 2% (basic royalties) for 10,000 copies. Considering the popularity of "Wreaths Under the Mountains", this royalties for print runs should be quite considerable."

Lin Chaoyang calculated in his mind that the full text of "Garland Under the Mountain" has 72,000 words, and ten yuan for one thousand words, which is 720 yuan.

Given the popularity of "Garland Under the Mountain", it shouldn't be a big problem to get 100% of the royalties for the print run, which is 1,440 yuan.

Including the upcoming royalties from "Harvest", he and Tao Yushu would have five thousand yuan.

But even so, there is still a big gap between the price of the apartment in the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

Lin Chaoyang's brows furrowed after he finished calculating, it seemed that he still had to write more words.

Liang Junshu looked at his expression and muttered in his heart, are you still not satisfied with such a high royalties?

"Okay, Editor Liang, I'll leave "Wreaths Under the Mountains" to you. I hope to see the single book published as soon as possible." Coming out of his depression, Lin Chaoyang said to Liang Junshu.

"You are so kind. Being able to publish "Wreaths Under the Mountains" is also a good thing for our publishing house."

The two chatted for a few more words before Liang Junshu said goodbye and left.

In the evening, Lin Chaoyang returned home and told Tao Yushu the news brought by Du Feng.

Lin Chaoyang didn't even mention it to Tao Yushu about the courtyard that Du Feng helped them find in Weigong Village last time.

Langrun Lake Apartment was nothing in future generations, but in this era it had surpassed the living standards of ordinary people in Yanjing City. His wife had lived in such an environment since she was a child, and he didn't want his wife to have to live in a large courtyard after marrying him.

After listening to Lin Chaoyang's introduction to the situation of the Overseas Chinese Apartment in Huayuan Village, Tao Yushu looked serious and frowned slightly.

"The house is really good, and it's close to Yan'an University and Yan'an Normal University, but the price is too expensive. I'm afraid we don't have enough money now, right?"
