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: “…”]
