Chapter 721 Use the Rent to Pay the Prize

Two years ago, the country defined the house as a commodity, marking the arrival of the first year of real estate. In the following 40 years, the house has become an important issue that countless people struggle with. Some people broke out because of this, and some people paid a heavy price for a house. The price can be described as a double sky of ice and fire.

Yang Xiao has not yet realized the power of real estate. She looked at Shen Long in confusion, "House? For buying a house?" Can this support the distribution of awards?

"Yes, let's use the money to buy some shops for rent, and then use the rent to host the award ceremony and give bonuses to the winners." Compared with later generations, housing prices are nearly a hundred times worse, and shops are even more different depending on the location. Maybe they still don't receive a few rents every year, but in the new century, this rent is enough to make everyone dumbfounded.

It is definitely enough to distribute bonuses, and the amount of bonuses will definitely satisfy those science fiction writers, Shen Long is full of confidence in this; of course, it is not that there are no investment methods that can appreciate faster, but those are too much trouble, In this case, it is better to invest in a more stable way.

"You should contact me in the capital first during this time, and I'll go home, and then I'll go to Chengdu to find you and choose a suitable store." Shen Long continued, he would naturally choose the one with the best development and the most prosperous business in the future. The location would be too conspicuous if it were placed in the capital, but it would be better if it were placed in Chengdu, and it would be easier for Yang Xiao and the others to manage.

Although Chengdu's future commercial development is not as good as that of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it can still rank among the top ten in the country, and the income will definitely not be low; he is not worried about not being able to buy suitable shops.

Just like buying a courtyard house before, Shen Long directly gave them US dollars. Now people who have a way are thinking about going abroad, some want US dollars, as long as they let themselves go, and some people are willing to give themselves shops in good locations; etc. In another 20 to 30 years, after several rounds of demolition, it is not impossible for these shops to turn into hundreds of millions or billions.

With such a huge asset, how much rent can you charge in a year? Thinking about it, Liu and the others are very happy. Maybe the Galaxy Award will become the literary award with the highest prize money in the country in the future.

"Okay, how do you plan to set up the award?" Yang Xiao asked, since Shen Long took out the money, it is natural to listen to his opinion first, of course, Yang Xiao did not intend to follow Shen Long's all. Arrangements, when encountering unreasonable things, she will still fight with reason.

"About the establishment of awards, I would like to get a few more. Of course, this is a long-term plan, and I don't plan to do it right away." Shen Long gave his own arrangement based on the history of the Galaxy Awards, "Best novel, Chinese Novels and short stories are definitely required; there is also the best book award."

"In addition, there will be the Best Newcomer Award to encourage more people to join in the creation of science fiction literature; there will also be the Best Art Award to honor outstanding science fiction illustrators and designers. You can do it; oh, yes, there is also the best editor award, the prosperity of science fiction literature cannot be separated from excellent editors like you, editor Yang, I think editors should also be commended."

"These are regular awards. If there is no accident, they can be awarded every year. In addition, a lifetime achievement award can also be considered to honor senior figures who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of Chinese science fiction literature, such as Mr. Zheng Wenguang." Known as the father of Chinese science fiction literature, his "Flying to Sagittarius" opened the spring of science fiction literature.

"Oh, by the way, there is another award that must be established." Shen Long added, "The award for the best popular science work. China's science fiction literature lags behind that of European and American countries. The same is true for popular science literature, and it is even more serious." -Gardner, France has Fabre, and China has very few outstanding science popularization writers after Gao Shiqi.

Shen Long actually has another intention. The Association for Science and Technology may not support science fiction, but they will definitely support popular science literature. Adding popular science literature to the Galaxy Award is equivalent to adding an insurance to the Galaxy Award, which can be borrowed The influence of the association of science and technology to resist some risks.

Among other things, Mr. Qian is always the most opposed to science fiction literature, but seeing that the Yinhe Award has added an award for popular science literature, and the Association for Science and Technology has also benefited from it, presumably he will think about it when he speaks again? Of course, there is no need to tell Yang Xiao these things, so as not to cause unnecessary tension.

Yang Xiao quickly wrote down Shen Long's statements one by one, and she had no objection to them, "You just said that you still have a long-term plan, which means you want to set up a new award?"

"When the time is right and the influence of the Galaxy Awards expands, we can also set up awards for the best imported books and awards for the most popular foreign science fiction writers."

"Even awards for sci-fi movies, the best sci-fi movie, the best sci-fi screenplay, etc." Can you also award the best sci-fi web novel, the best sci-fi comic, but it's too early to think about these, "This is just the first donation. If there is a need later, I can make additional donations."

"Mr. Sun, we are already very grateful that you can spend so much money to support the cause of science fiction. On behalf of science fiction workers and fans across the country, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Yang Xiao stood up and bowed to Shen Long solemnly. Bowing, from this conversation, she can feel that Shen Long supports China's sci-fi cause from the bottom of his heart, and is thoughtful. With his help, China's sci-fi literature will definitely avoid many detours.

In the next few days, Yang Xiao ran around Beijing non-stop, busy with the Galaxy Awards; Shen Long went home first, and gave gifts to Lan Xiang, Xiaoxia, Jin Xiu, Jin Bo and others, He asked Jin Bo to help bring back the TV for the family and the books for Shaoan, while he went to Chengdu by himself.

Accompanied by Yang Xiao, and with the help of some powerful local people who want to go abroad, he got a bunch of shops on Chunxi Road. Chunxi Road is one of the top ten business districts in China in later generations. will be wrong.

Yang Xiao's work here is not going well. Science fiction writers, editors, and science fiction magazines are very supportive of the establishment of the Galaxy Award. The Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Writers Association, and the Association for Science and Technology have not much objection, but other relevant departments still have some concerns. After all There is still a certain degree of controversy in science fiction literature today.

Yang Xiao was busy persuading her everywhere. During this period of time, she had lost a lot of weight, but her spirit was exceptionally good. After all, this was her beloved career.

Although the Galaxy Award has not yet been officially determined, science fiction workers all over the country are grateful to Shen Long in every possible way and thank him for his contributions.

At the same time, in the United States on the other side of the ocean, a group of people also mentioned Shen Long's name.
