Chapter 87 Building Financial Autonomy
Two luxury nanny cars took everyone directly to a five-star hotel. Liang Liang had already booked a room. After putting down his luggage, he immediately went to eat.
Although the protagonists were three boys and girls who had just finished the college entrance examination, QQ Music did not mean to neglect them at all. There were more people coming for dinner, and more than a dozen people sat in a large private room.
The next morning, Zhou Weigang took Yao Peili and Li Huihua to play, while Zhou Rui took Li Wenqian and Song Bin to the recording studio arranged by QQ Music.
Compared with the simple recording studio that the three people had made in Qinghe County, the conditions here were much better. QQ Music rented the best recording studio in Shenzhen for them. All kinds of equipment were top-notch. Even some Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars sometimes came here to record.
The main purpose of Zhou Rui's trip was to improve the quality of the sound sources of several songs.
Although in this era, most users, especially Internet users, are far from paying attention to "sound quality", and due to the limitations of the platform's own conditions, the feedback to the user's ears cannot be "lossless sound quality".
The quality of the sound source has little impact on the actual effect of the final user. Even if it is improved by 100 points, the feedback to the user is only 30 points. If the headphones are not as good, they may only be 10 points.
But after all, this is the work and responsibility of a musician, and Zhou Rui is also very interested in the top recording studio.
He started to focus on time and quickly became familiar with various new advanced equipment. In just one morning, he could complete most of the "producer" work alone without the help of the studio teacher.
"Is this the national top scorer in the college entrance examination? This is the learning speed"
This is the common feeling of many people.
After Zhou Rui mastered the use of the equipment, the grass-roots team composed of three Qinghe counties also started to operate quickly.
These are all songs that have been recorded and studied repeatedly. Whether Zhou Rui or Li Wenqian, they are very fast and completed the recording of three songs in one afternoon.
Back to the hotel, Zhou Rui knocked on the door of Yao Peili's room. Zhou Weigang and Yao Peili were chatting. It can be seen that the two are very tired today. It is estimated that they have seen a lot of places in a hurry.
And there were many handbags in the room. I don't know if it was paid by Zhou Weigang or the people from QQ Music.
"Is my son done?"
Zhou Rui nodded. His voice was a little hoarse because he was tired.
"Can I discuss something with you?"
Zhou Weigang and Yao Peili looked at each other. After so many things, they no longer regarded Zhou Rui as a child. Seeing Zhou Rui so formal, they also became serious.
Zhou Rui said:
"Didn't the school, the Education Bureau, etc. give a bonus before? Although most of it has not been credited yet, the numbers have been calculated. All the sums are 700,000."
Yao Peili nodded. She had calculated this number dozens of times. I don't know why Zhou Rui mentioned this.
Zhou Rui thought about it and said, "You know, I also have a good income in music, and there may be more actions in the future, so I plan to give all the 700,000 to my mother."
Yao Peili was stunned. She was not moved or surprised, but she didn't understand what Zhou Rui meant.
But in fact, Zhou Rui is building his own financial autonomy.
Although he is no longer treated as a child, in his mother's eyes, Zhou Rui's financial problems are probably the family's financial problems.
This is a small family operation mode, and most people are like this before they completely enter the society.
If the child has extra income, it doesn't matter if it is small, but if the amount is larger, it is natural for parents to help save and manage it.
Some of Zhou Rui's income was concealed very early, and some was public bonuses, and all these money were mixed together.
But for Zhou Rui, who is rising rapidly, the financial management model of a small family with parents' participation is obviously not suitable. He wants to take this opportunity to completely build his own financial autonomy.
Because he will need to invest in the future, use his foresight, and even set up his own company. Many of the reasons for using money here are difficult to explain to his mother, and the amount may be large.
For example, if Zhou Rui wants to spend hundreds of thousands to buy Bitcoin, do you think Yao Peili will think Zhou Rui is crazy?
Or invest in something that most people think is unreliable.
So instead of dragging the financial problem to a later stage and making everything very troublesome, it is better to solve it as soon as possible now, and save Yao Peili from worrying.
"You can choose how to use this 700,000 yuan, whether it is consumption or buying a house. As for the tuition, living expenses, and other miscellaneous things in Shanghai, you don't have to worry. I will take care of it myself. The two sides will be calculated separately in the future, but we can discuss any major issues together."
Yao Peili hesitated and said, "Is it necessary? I don't need to spend money. Isn't it good like this now?"
Although she works in finance, her family concept is still relatively traditional, and she thinks it is unnecessary to divide it so clearly.
On the contrary, Zhou Weigang said something for Zhou Rui: "Xiao Rui has grown up and can handle his own affairs. Let's not make trouble. When we were his age, didn't we manage our own money?"
Yao Peili rolled her eyes: "You don't have money. What can you manage without money?"
Turning to Zhou Rui, she said, "Xiao Rui, if you want to use this money, just keep it for yourself. I don't have any needs."
Zhou Rui said: "Don't worry, mom, I won't make myself suffer. You can keep the 700,000 yuan, I still have it."
Knowing that seeing is believing, Zhou Rui directly opened his mobile phone and showed Yao Peili several text messages.
"Dear customer, hello: your bank card 6222XXX91723, real-time deposit of 151,890 yuan."
"Dear customer, hello: your bank card 6222XXX91723, real-time deposit of 237,699 yuan"
The two huge numbers shocked Yao Peili.
"This is"
"The first payment is the copyright fee for the first two songs, "Starry Sea" and "Youth", which were used by various entities across the country last month. The second payment is that I asked QQ Music to settle the online playback share for less than a month in advance, and these two incomes will be updated every month in the future. Mom, I said I will not make myself suffer."
"Of course, this is not all my money. Li Wenqian and Song Bin also have a part, but I am the biggest one."
Yao Peili suddenly felt that she was experiencing a wave of inflation
Why are hundreds of thousands of dollars recently not a big deal at home? One thing pops up, and another thing pops up.
However, out of trust in her son's "genius" identity, Yao Peili finally suppressed her worries and agreed with Zhou Rui's idea.
In fact, parents are sometimes just worried and unwilling to let go. When Zhou Rui proved his excellence again and again, many concepts were gradually pried open.
This child is far better than them as parents, so don't use your backward ideas to influence Xiaorui
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhou Rui also laughed.
He took out a green book from his back.
"This is a gift for my mom."
Yao Peili took a look and found it was a real estate certificate!
"What is this? Where did it come from? Did you buy a new house?"
Zhou Rui shook his head and smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. This is not a new house, but an old house, No. 277 Tianhe Road. The family upstairs is going to the United States to wash dishes. I bought it for 180,000 yuan. When the house is demolished, it will be worth ten times more!"
Seeing that Zhou Rui really considered all aspects and even did a lot of things on his own, Yao Peili finally put her mind at ease.
This son is really outstanding! !
