Chapter 53: Daily Income of Ten Thousand
Chapter 53 – Daily Income of Ten Thousand
Upon opening the door, Chen Yu found that it was indeed his express delivery.
“Jinzhou City’s Most Handsome Man?”
“That’s right. That’s me,” Chen Yu said, nodding.
“…Please sign here,” the courier from SF Express said, passing an electronic tablet to Chen Yu. He then ran to the nearby elevator and pulled out a small cart piled with various packages, saying, “These are all for you.”
“Alright.”
After signing off on the delivery, Chen Yu moved all of the packages into the house with the courier’s help.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
“It’s fine. However, I suggest you change your recipient name.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I nearly thought the delivery was mine!”
“Oh? An expert!”
“Same to you, same to you.”
After sending off the courier, Chen Yu rubbed his palms together as he stood in the living room. He then started opening the boxes one after another.
He had received a total of ten boxes, which contained a gaming laptop, a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, an Xbox, a curved monitor, a brand-new Tissot watch, a mink velvet coat, a gold-plated feeding bottle, a 60-piece fluorescent crayon set, and an external hard drive.
As the above items were all of significant value, they were delivered using SF Express. The exercise books he bought for Chen Yike would be delivered using a normal courier service, so they had yet to arrive.
After tidying up the opened boxes and disposing of them downstairs, Chen Yu moved all his purchases into his room.
Currently, his parents had yet to see the money he was going to earn. If they knew he bought all these things before he had received any money, they would definitely beat him to death.
“Lastly… This one.”
Sitting before his study table, Chen Yu held up the box containing the external hard drive. After flipping it around a few times, he opened it and retrieved the hard drive inside.
This was a 4TB external hard drive, and it felt very solid in his hand.
As he had not bought any hard drives during his shopping spree, he knew that this was the hard drive containing the raw footage “Blooming Clouds” had sent him.
Setting the hard drive aside, Chen Yu grabbed his new high-end laptop and powered it up. After installing the Transdimensional Marketing Terminal – Hidden Version software on it, he connected the hard drive to the laptop and started “working.”
The memory of the hard drive was chock full of video clips and documents sorted into various folders.
After giving the files a quick look, Chen Yu discovered that, aside from product review videos, there were also plenty of video material for scenery, random travel, and animation patchwork.
There were even foreign documentaries that only required him to translate subtitles.
Chen Yu plugged in his mouse, then imported a 40GB folder into his editing software. With the help of Smart Editing, it only took him several seconds to generate a fully edited video.
After making some additional modifications to the video, he sent it to “Blooming Clouds.” He then pulled out his phone and entered QQ Messenger.
[Chen Yu: “I already edited one. It’s a 20-minute video. Give it a look.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “Ok.”]
[Chen Yu: “Where did you find so much work?”]
[Blooming Clouds: “To begin with, I do this for a living. Your price is also sufficiently low, and the quality is relatively high. It’s easy to find work with such conditions.”]
[Chen Yu: “Alright. Work properly as a contractor, then. I’ll send the videos to you as they get edited. Send me the money when you think it is the right time. Let’s have a pleasant partnership.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “Rest assured. I won’t pay you a penny less.”]
[Chen Yu: “Oh, right. About those documentary videos that you want me to translate. For that kind of work, 30 yuan per minute definitely won’t cut it. The workload is too much.”]
In reality, to Chen Yu, there was no difference between adding subtitles and translating subtitles. He merely wished to earn more money.
Moreover, even if he walked the path of small profits but quick turnover, there had to be a balance. He definitely needed to raise his price if the other party wished to add in a “translation” process. He couldn’t let others think that he was a pushover.
[Blooming Clouds: “Those documentaries don’t have a subtitle document. According to industry standards, hearing-based translations are charged by the minute. Is 50 yuan per minute fine?”]
Chen Yu hurriedly searched the web for some information. Only after getting a grasp of the general market price did he reply.
[Chen Yu: “I’m charging 150 per minute. It’s 1,500 for 10 minutes.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “This isn’t a very suitable price. After all, that video is already edited.”]
[Chen Yu: “You’re saying 150 per minute isn’t suitable for translation plus subtitles? Are you sure? It’s 1,500 for 10 minutes. Take it or leave it.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “Happy cooperation.”]
Clicking his tongue, Chen Yu set his phone aside and resumed importing and editing the raw footage.
Half an hour later, Chen Yu finished editing all of the raw footage. Setting aside the three foreign documentaries, he had edited 145 videos, for a total length of 227 minutes.
According to his rate of 30 yuan per minute, this batch of videos would earn him 6,810 yuan.
If he included the foreign documentaries that were 45 minutes long in all, he would gain another 6,750 yuan.
That was a total of 13,560 yuan!
So, it’s actually so easy to earn over ten thousand yuan a day.
Chen Yu could not help growing delighted as he counted on his fingers.
With a steady income of 10,000 daily, he would become a millionaire in just a little more than three months. At that time, his family could move to a larger house.
Also, from now on, they would no longer have to worry about putting food on the table.
His little sisters could also dress better.
His parents would no longer need to work as hard as before, either. If they wanted to, they could go on a date and watch movies or do some gardening. He might even end up getting another little sister.
Without my knowing it, I’ve already become so outstanding at the age of 18. Raising his head and looking at his ceiling, Chen Yu could not help chuckling to himself. I can already provide for the entire family. I truly am amazing.
However, in the middle of his daydreams, Chen Yu suddenly realized a problem.
His neighbors and his school’s faculty knew his family conditions. If his family suddenly became rich, it would definitely attract a lot of people’s attention—particularly that of the government officials “searching” for him.
It seems I still need to maintain a low profile and spend my money stealthily.
Picking up his phone and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu gave his body a stretch before copying the 100-plus edited videos onto the external hard drive. He then closed his laptop, picked up his bag, and left the house.
He mailed the external hard drive at the nearest SF Express station, according to the sender’s address written on the package he previously received, then made his way to Sixth High.
With the current situation, he could no longer casually skip school like before. He needed to maintain a low profile to avoid attracting the attention of those five officials from Beijing as much as possible.
Although, right now, he might’ve caught those people’s attention already.
…
Two days later, Friday:
Waking up in bed, Chen Yu patted his body and gave his room a quick look. After finding nothing amiss, he breathed out a sigh of relief.
Last night was a peaceful night. Nobody came to “knife” me.
He got out of bed and went to wash up in the bathroom. When he returned to his room and picked up his phone, he noticed that he had plenty of unread messages, with the majority coming from “Blooming Clouds.”
[Chen Yu: “Sorry, I slept early last night, so I didn’t see your messages.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “You’re finally awake.”]
[Chen Yu: “You’re up quite early.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “I didn’t sleep at all last night!”]
[Chen Yu: “Oh? You must’ve received the hard drive. Are you done watching the videos?”]
[Blooming Clouds: “I’ve watched them all.”]
[Chen Yu: “How’s the quality?”]
[Blooming Clouds: “They all pass.”]
[Chen Yu: “Send the money over, then.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “I’ll send the money in a moment. Right now, I have a question I want to ask you.”]
[Chen Yu: “What question?”]
[Blooming Clouds: “How many workers does your studio have? How did you edit all these videos so quickly?”]
[Chen Yu: “It’s a secret. Any other questions? If not, hurry up and send me the money. The total is 13,560, but I’ll round it off for you.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “So, 13,000? I’ll send it to you now.”]
[Chen Yu: “14,000.”]
[Blooming Clouds: “…”]
