Chapter 450: Become a God with One Book
It was late when we returned to the courtyard.
The children were already asleep.
The monitor was showing the children in the two rooms, and they were sleeping soundly.
Zhu Lin was wearing a long-sleeved pajamas and reading a book.
"Are you back?" Zhu Lin put the book aside.
Liu Tao nodded and said, "Yes."
"What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you." Zhu Lin stood up.
"No, we've eaten outside!" Liu Tao said, and then hugged Zhu Lin by the waist.
Zhu Lin buried her head in Liu Tao's chest. After so many years, she always felt shy every time.
Her husband was really too avant-garde in this regard.
Liu Tao carried Zhu Lin to the bathroom, turned on the heating, turned on the water, and soon it was hot water.
"Hua La La~~"
The water from the shower sprayed out, splashing drops of water.
More than an hour later, the two came out.
Liu Tao whispered in Zhu Lin's ear. Zhu Lin blushed slightly, but still walked to the closet and found a light red dress of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women. She put on a light makeup, put on a gold hairpin, and put on a jewelry necklace. She was really graceful and beautiful.
What Zhaojun's beauty is indeed better than Xi Shi.
I'm afraid that even Chang'e is no better than this, and the Nine Heavens Fairy is probably not better than her.
Even though it was not the first time Liu Tao saw it, he couldn't help drooling at this time, his heart was pounding, and his bones and muscles were numb for a while.
At this time, his waist was no longer sore, his arms were no longer painful, and he was in high spirits.
At that time, he left three sets of costumes of the King of the Kingdom of Women as a souvenir, which was indeed the right thing to do.
The two quickly got into the play, one played the role of the royal brother, and the other played the role of Her Majesty the Queen. They really had a good time acting.
The next day, it was still dawn. After a night's rest, Liu Tao completely recovered his energy.
Looking outside, it was snowing heavily last night, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of silver.
Get up early and exercise early.
After a fierce battle, Zhu Lin had to get up and wash at 8:30, and then put on his down jacket. It was the child who woke up and had to feed him breakfast.
Liu Tao did not wake up and continued to sleep until about 10 o'clock, then he got up and washed.
When Liu Tao came out, Liu Ziyu, the king of children, was playing snowballs with the children.
By now, Liu Ziyu had finally completed the required courses and passed the Tsinghua exam, which was considered to be qualified for early graduation.
Liu Tao went to the study, printed two test papers, and gave them to Liu Ziyu.
"Complete the test papers and give them to me tomorrow night. If you don't even pass the test papers, don't even talk about the interview." Liu Tao said calmly.
Although he was going to recruit students, he didn't plan to be too lenient.
"Brother, aren't you afraid that we will read books?" Liu Ziyu asked curiously.
Liu Tao curled his lips and said, "Open-book exam, you can go and look up information."
Open-book exams do not mean easy, on the contrary, open-book exams are sometimes the most difficult, and it is difficult to find information even if you read books.
Liu Ziyu took the two test papers and left the courtyard. As far as the school is concerned, they only have more than one day to hand in the test papers tomorrow night.
So they have to cherish the time.
Liu Tao played with the children. This time when he returned to Beijing, the Aerospace Science and Technology Conference alone took up half of his time, so he had less time to accompany his children.
So Liu Tao cherished the time to play with his children.
At lunch, Zhu Lin talked about the overseas situation of the book "The Future Belongs to China".
Originally, the sales were only so-so, but on September 22, the finance ministers and central bank governors of five countries signed the "Plaza Accord", the US dollar/yen exchange rate plummeted, the US dollar depreciated sharply, and the yen appreciated sharply, which directly made the book "The Future Belongs to China" a god and sold well.
In the book "The Future Belongs to China", Liu Tao made predictions about the hidden worries of Japan, which are roughly similar to the content of the Plaza Accord, and predicted that this incident would greatly damage Japan's economy and future development.
At the same time, there are almost the same predictions about West Germany in the book.
As a result, the signing of the Plaza Accord confirmed the predictions in "The Future Belongs to China", making the book "The Future Belongs to China" a masterpiece.
"One million copies were sold in Hong Kong, Macau, and Formosa, 3 million copies were sold in Japan, 4.5 million copies were sold in the United States, and 4 million copies were sold in Europe." In just three or four months, more than 20 million copies were sold worldwide. It can be said that it is the best-selling book in the world in these few months.
Zhu Lin thought it was incredible. Even if the taxes to be paid were deducted, the final amount to Liu Tao was still 25 million US dollars.
This shock is very great.
Just relying on this book, Liu Tao directly became a multi-millionaire.
"Now many reporters want to interview you, including mainstream media in Europe and America. They can't contact you, so they come to me." Zhu Lin asked: "Do you want to be interviewed?"
"Forget about the interview, it's a waste of time." Liu Tao waved his hand and said: "I'd rather spend more time with you and the children."
Liu Tao didn't expect that the signing of the Plaza Accord would affect the book "The Future Belongs to China". This is simply a pie in the sky.
As for the royalties in Europe and America, Liu Tao did not plan to settle them directly back to China and put them into his own pocket.
He plans to establish charitable foundations in these countries and places and donate all the money to charitable foundations.
He does not want to pay any tax to these countries and regions.
It's okay to pay personal income tax at home, but he doesn't want to pay it outside.
Then this charity foundation can fund overseas students in China, or it can fund the "Southwestern Associated University" and so on. It can even buy food and other things and transport it back to the country in the name of charity.
Some operate by means and names to pay as little or even no tax as possible.
As for him personally, his only domestic royalties, even after deducting personal taxes, are too much for him to spend.
Liu Hongying, Chen Lijuan and others felt incredible after hearing this.
Liu Tao wrote just one book, and his income far exceeded that of Qian Huaqiang, Liu Qi and others.
"It would be incredible if we could have this sales volume every year." Liu Hongying couldn't help but say.
Liu Tao said with a smile: "How is it possible? The sales volume is so large this time. It is just a coincidence. Then the sales volume will plummet."
But even so, this book is still a slow flow, and every time a major event predicted in the book happens, the sales of the book will increase greatly.
In the future, this book will definitely be hailed as a classic.
He is not afraid that Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union will get something from the book to solve their own problems, because the problems he analyzed are not so easy to solve.
For example, the United States has not been able to answer the question "What is an American" for so many years? He does not believe that the United States will be able to answer it in the next ten or twenty years.
Some things, that is, conspiracy, are clearly placed in front of you, but you just can't solve them.
For example, the Soviet Union's heavy industry and light industry were extremely unbalanced. Didn't the Soviet Union itself discover this problem? Doesn’t the Soviet Union want to solve it?
Liu Tao simply did not believe that the Soviet Union could solve these problems.
