The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Due to the excitement, Carl was drunk on Andy's sofa and refused to leave. After seeing Nelson away, he saw Carl lying on the sofa in the living room like a dead pig. Yan said: "Aunt Liu, just give him the blanket and let him sleep on the sofa. You go to rest too.
"Okay, sir." Liu Yan took a blanket from the guest room on the first floor to cover Carl, and then turned off the main light of the living room to rest.
Andy walked into the bathroom, closed the door, took off his clothes, and lifted his legs into the bathtub.
He likes the feeling of bathing more and more, especially when he looks at his more and more muscular body, it should be the welfare after crossing, the large pores of Westerners have disappeared, there are no chest hair that makes Orientals not used to look, rough My skin has become more delicate.
If you want to sell a good price, there is still a lot of work to be done. Of course, Nelson and Carl presided over the previous work. For Andy fired the previous accountant, Nelson did not have too many inquiries, just told Andy, it would be very Quickly find him a new financial consultant with rich experience to join the negotiation team.
The comfortable hot bath allowed Andy to relax completely, wiped with a bath towel, put on a bathrobe and walked to the outside room, took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the bedroom desk, and looked at the night sky outside the window , Very tangled.
In the process of being strong day by day, the party animal's restless heart collides with the thought of quiet dead house all the time.
Under the urge to suppress, Andy snuffed out the smoke and turned off the lights to sleep.
As soon as the next day dawned, Karl left in a hurry and started to make a phone call when he was in the car. He almost searched all the people in the phone book who knew him.
After having breakfast, Andy drove in the car and wandered around in Hollywood. He has been here for two months. He hasn't really looked around. Some of them are just memories in his mind.
Rodeo Drive is the most upscale and exquisite apparel business street in Los Angeles, where the world-famous and most popular design works of top international masters are gathered. Rodeo Drive boldly uses a lot of gorgeous decoration, in line with its status as "the world's most prosperous and expensive shopping avenue".
At both ends of Rodeo Drive are the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Beverly Four Seasons Hotel, the two top hotels in Los Angeles. In between, there are more than 100 famous brand shops and high-end customized brand shops on the top of the ivory tower in the fashion industry.
Close to Rodeo Drive includes Rodeo 2nd Avenue and some European-style shops, as well as cobblestone streets, fountains and taverns.
Andy looked at everything so fresh and curious. Except for the women's clothing store, he hardly missed any distinctive shops. He found a lot of favorite items from various products. He kept swiping cards and messing things up. There are eight or nine bags.
Feeling rich is indeed happy. You don't need to struggle with the price when you see something you like. This economic freedom makes Andy very comfortable.
Thinking about his previous self, mortgage, and car loan pressure, he was almost breathless. He did not dare to marry. When thinking of marriage, he thought of his girlfriend.
Hey. . . . . .
With a sigh, Andy is no longer entangled with the past, and now thinks that those are just adding troubles.
After a few days in this way, Nielsen and Carl led the team to communicate and negotiate with several TV stations interested in buying ideas. The two NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) and CBS (Columbia Broadcasting Corporation) were left behind. Is the most sincere.
After reading the documents in his hand, Andy threw it on the desk, looked at Nelson and Carl sitting opposite, gently turned the pen in his hand, and frowned lightly.
"NBC is only willing to bid 8 million to buy out copyrights across the United States and refuses to share advertising revenue. CBS is only willing to bid 5 million and also refuses to share advertising." Nielsen looked at frowning Andy and explained.
"Hum." Andy sneered in their hearts. They were so sure they couldn't make it, so they desperately lowered the price.
"Karl, how is the British contact?" Andy asked Carl, who had been in a daze.
"British Independent Television is willing to bid 30 million pounds, plus 10% of the advertising revenue to buy out our global copyright!" Carl has not awakened from the phone call he just received, just repeating dumbly.
Both Nelson and Andy looked at each other in surprise, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
"Ah? Ah! We're rich, Andy, we're rich..." Carl, who was awake from the daze, jumped up suddenly, his fat fluttered, very funny.
"Okay, don't be excited, tell us, what's going on?" Andy rolled his eyes and asked angrily.
"Hahaha, I heard that someone from their TV station recently proposed a draft idea, which is similar to our show idea, but it is not as perfect and novel as ours. After I sent them a fax, they have no news to give back. I called on the way today and told me they were going to buy it!" Carl still laughed excitedly, looking like a villain.
Nielsen and Andy looked at each other, and at the same time were fortunate that they held the copyright in their hands early.
"Congratulations to your boss, you have become a multimillionaire, maybe soon you will be a young billionaire!" Nielsen's eyes flashed with envy, standing up and congratulating.
"Oh, thank you, it's all luck, who would have thought that the by-products written are so valuable! However, I won't sell global copyrights, tell them that I will only sell them copyrights in the UK, and I can give up advertising revenue share "" Andy couldn't stop the ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't stun his head. Global copyright can only be held in his own hands.
"Nielsen, I give you the authorization, you and Carl are responsible for negotiating with them."
"No problem, you can rest assured. Boss." Nielsen is also concerned about negotiating this business. After all, he can receive a large sum of money.
"Also, Carl, the contract with Xuele Publishing House has been signed. When will my book be published?" Andy asked the agent on the side.
"I've already asked, they said they would see the newspaper in a few days, and the early publicity should be in place." Carl was still flushed with excitement.
Andy nodded gently, patted the table with both hands, stood up, and said to Carl with a smile: "The place is for you, you are the manager here, I'm gone, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Andy waved his hands so that Cole and Nelson stood at the door and walked out of the building without giving themselves away.
This three-story building is the office of the "Mocking Bird" copyright company. It is located in West Hollywood. The wall is a bit mottled. The company's sign has been hung up. A fluttering bird badge in the flames is in the sun. Under the shining of the light, it was particularly eye-catching.
The action of Xuele Press is indeed very rapid. In two days, more than a dozen newspapers across the United States have reported on Andy's new book.
When I walked into the company, there were a few new faces in the company today, especially the two front desk ladies. They were all about one and seven meters tall. They were very hot, and their facial features were passable, but the makeup on their faces was a bit thick. Andy glanced at it for a few moments and then he was not interested.
"Nima, Carl, the fat man, would enjoy it. Although it's not superb, it can also be said to be a beauty. Fuck is not to play any unspoken rules!" Andy complained secretly.
"Hello, Mr. Smith, Mr. Carl and Attorney Nielsen are already waiting for you in the manager's room." One of the front desks said with a smile.
Andy smiled and nodded, looking at the white shirt that was about to be burst, and could not help secretly lamenting "Zhen Nima!"
Pushing the door open, I saw that Karl and Nelson were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and were chatting one sentence at a time.
"How's it going, can you decide today? You have worked hard these days." Andy sat on the sofa and watched the two men who had been running for their lives.
"Oh god, Andy, you're finally here, and these days have exhausted us..." Karl complained with dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Carl, don't complain. Since I'm here, shall we leave now?" Andy interrupted Karl's nagging angrily and looked at Nelson.
"Oh, time is running out, we have something to say on the road." Nielsen picked up his briefcase and followed Andy slowly began to talk about the progress of the two days of negotiations.
When he arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy saw five or six people sitting on the sofa in the lounge area saw them walk into the lobby, and quickly began to sort out Yirong and walked towards them.
Andy still has some impressions on several people. This is his negotiating team. When the two parties are round, they walk towards the elevator.
"Ding"
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Andy saw that Steve Fry, the director of the distribution department on behalf of the British Independent Television's negotiations, had waited.
"Hello, Mr. Smith, it's nice to see you again." Steve Fry extended his hand with a smile and Andy's hand held everything.
"Hello, Mr. Fry, let you wait a long time." Andy's handsome face showed a big smile.
"Please, here, our TV station's vice president in charge of variety shows has been waiting inside for a long time."
Andy glanced back at Nelson, and the other party nodded slightly, giving him a reassuring look, and he couldn't help but speed up.
Pushing open the door of the meeting room, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and some fat body, stood up from his seat with a smile and walked in front of Andy surrounded by a group of people.
"This is our vice president Ed. Mr. Childs, Mr. Childs and Mr. Andy Smith." Steve Fry introduced.
After hearing this, Shiles smiled and shook hands with Andy: "It's nice to see you, Mr. Smith, you are so young."
Andy smiled and shook hands with him, "It's an honor to see you."
After the two hands were released, after a few words of greeting, the two groups sat down separately, but the leader was no longer Andy. Nielsen and Carl, as well as an Andy's financial adviser, formed the senior level of this negotiation, and Andy knew that he was completely a mascot and could only watch them beside him for his own interests.
