"The weekly salary is close to 50 pounds. Dad was hired as a professor at the age of 35. I didn't expect that Carolyn's total income now exceeds him." Although Sheeran only responded with a smile, his tone was obviously very happy.

Since the postponed graduation concert ended and Fan Ning took Sheeran to see Teacher Anton again, her heart has opened up a lot. At least she is in a good mood more often than before.

"This is generally reasonable. After all, Professor Fan Ning is also a professor." Qiong nodded seriously, "The total weekly salary is about 70 pounds, which is more than 3,000 pounds based on annual income... No, no, I think this is more or less.

Outrageous…”

Indeed, this income has exceeded the ceiling of the middle class. In Tioleon, it is generally believed that the average annual family income of the middle class is between 300 and 800 pounds, and an income of 3,000 pounds is probably more than most squires or the top of the city.

That group of lawyers, doctors or clergy.

Seeing the two little girls chatting about private topics without scruples, Fan Ning couldn't help but smile, and he also jokingly asked: "Qiong, you said I'm outrageous, how much does your family's annual income do? Do you want it?"

Report it out and attack us?"

"Maybe... close to 10,000 pounds?" Joan answered seriously, but her eyes were confused and she didn't seem to be very clear. "Professor Carloen, you can't compare work income with land or industry income, and this is the income of our entire family.

The income belongs to you alone..."

When Qiong said this, she curled her lips pitifully and said: "Look at me, after I joined the club yesterday, they said at school that my current weekly salary is only 5 pounds..."

"Are they bullying you for being a sophomore?" Sheeran questioned, "But I'm one year younger than you, and my weekly salary at Guidance School is 8 pounds..."

Joan continued to help Fan Ning make plans seriously: "Caron, you have to know that in Tioleon, 1,000 pounds is an important dividing line. Such a family can hire at least 4-6 servants... Wait until you pass.

After a few years of getting married, you can have a more decent life. One of my classmates whose family income is slightly higher than yours can maintain about 16 servants in their family, including male and female housekeepers, valets and maids, cooks and dishwashing maids.

Domestic maids, laundry maids, nursery maids, pantry maids, waiters, grooms, gardeners, laborers and footmen... You have to know that maintaining the status quo and functioning of people's daily lives is an extremely repetitive, trivial and boring thing

, this allows you to get rid of your burdens and focus all your energy on the areas of study you are interested in, or on relaxing and enjoyable things..."

Fan Ning was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry at this time. He always felt that he had just heard similar words to these words.

From a certain perspective, Joan's point of view is objective. Not only the middle class and above in Tiolein pursue this kind of life, but also knowledgeable people, such as the members of the University of St. Lenia, and those who

A banned person with another visible public identity. This is a necessary choice to maintain sufficient energy to study hidden knowledge.

"Qiong, you should use this active thinking to make suggestions later." Fan Ning said with a smile, "The annual income of 3,000 pounds may be rich from a family perspective, but if I want to support my next plan,

I’m afraid we have to continue to expand our sources of income…”

This is also one of the factors that made Fan Ning consider agreeing to the school's invitation. He currently has a large income and expenditure, but lacks stable cash flow. He can only increase part of it.

Take the salaries of musicians and clerks in professional symphony orchestras as an example. My current weekly salary of 70 pounds seems outrageous, but how many musicians can I actually afford? If I want to create an orchestra, I have to come up with something more substantial.

conditions of attraction.

If you also include the purchase of musical instruments and auxiliary equipment, venue construction, operation and advertising expenses, performance travel expenses, cooperation expenses with concerto soloists or record publishing companies, and miscellaneous expenses...this is not an occasional resale of extraordinary items.

I can handle it...

Lu spent some of the 1,800 pounds of his manuscript bidding reward in the composer's cabin, and later purchased some extraordinary items, including helping Sheeran buy the "Desolate" phase sign... The current balance is 900 pounds.

In terms of income from music score publishing, 1. Three Little Pieces, 2. Sales of "Death and the Maiden" are growing well and have begun to spread in the Western Continent. Currently, they can bring themselves a share of 100 pounds per month, 3. "Symphony No. 1 in D Major"

》It’s not clear yet how the income is... The current balance is 600 pounds.

The reward from the Special Patrol Office was 1,000 pounds for destroying the secret gathering place of the Happy Listening Club, and 1,000 pounds after the graduation concert incident... He was so emotional at the time that he directly asked them to add them to the public account of the Guidance School.

Fanning currently has around 2,500 pounds of cash on hand.

Therefore, the renovation and expansion of the art museum is imperative, not only as a basis for future venues, but also as a new revenue-generating point after resumption of operations.

There may still be some shortcomings in starting capital, so we need to think of ways to do it again.

For example, buying and selling Yaozhi spirit liquid, or investing in something like that?

While thinking about this in his mind, the carriage stopped at the Woodpecker Consulting Office. Fan Ning went upstairs first, changed his redundant graduation dress into an informal thin light-colored shirt, and then brought some clothes similar to the ones he had worn when he first visited the art museum.

of objects.

The three of them walked to the busiest area of ​​East Mecklon, passed a bright and clean cafe, turned in at the animal sculpture, walked into a downhill narrow alley, and stepped into the rusty iron fence of the yard.

The sun is shining brightly today, and the courtyard is not as desolate as the last time Fan Ning came. However, the walls of the museum are still thick gray, and the oval windows folded in the long and narrow arches are tightly locked, devoid of popularity and vitality.

.

The three of them first walked around the building, then climbed up the hillside to get a bird's eye view of the surrounding environment. They casually discussed some ideas for renovation and expansion, then returned to the main entrance and walked up the steps.

Fan Ning once again moved the dusty and greasy closure notice stand, moved his chest upwards, and opened the heavy brass lock with the key hanging around his neck.

After a few seconds, the door closed, and the vision fell into darkness again, except for the lanterns held by the three people, which gave a few meters of visible light.

But the expressions of the three people were a little strange at this time.

Fan Ning frowned even more.
Chapter completed!
