Chapter 13: Pirates of Dream Space and Talent Show
Andy came to the company, opened the door of the manager's office, and saw Carl, Nelson, and his new financial adviser David.
"Good day, boss....."
"Hey, Andy, you're finally here. Last night ..."
"boss."
"Hello, shut up Carl! Damn, you hurt me last night!" Andy and Nielsen, financial adviser David greeted him, and glared at Carl fiercely.
"Hey ... isn't it just marijuana?" Carl Fat's face showed an indifferent expression, only because of Andy's anger, the voice became very subtle.
Andy pointed his finger at Carr with a helpless expression. There was really nothing he could do to Carr. As an old man following him, Carr was very caring about what he told him. His agent's status was destined to only Focusing on serving Andy and meeting the needs of Andy, even if it is illegal, he will try to meet it as far as possible. As for an outsider, he has another face, which is very similar to Huaxia's jester.
Andy knows what kind of person Carl is and there is nothing he can do about it. Huaxia people use human inertia thinking, your talents can be ordinary, you can have all kinds of shortcomings, but you must be loyal. With loyalty, everything else can be forgiven, and so is Andy with white skin and yellow heart.
"Well, guys, I need to discuss with you the next thing." Andy sat on the boss's chair belonging to Carl and looked at the three people who were sitting opposite each other and said.
"The first thing is to let the news of signing a contract with independent television stations let NBC and CBS know, Nielsen, the next negotiations will trouble you."
"The second thing, David, I will tell you my stock account in a while. I will buy all Apple stock for $ 22 million. If you believe me, you can also buy some, not to mention that I am not cheap."
"Third thing, Carl, I need you to ask me about a piece of land on the Blake Coast in San Diego, California. I don't know the exact location. Check it out with Google Earth in a moment."
20 million pounds equivalent to 36.8 million US dollars at the exchange rate of 2006, although rich, but in addition to buying stocks, the remaining 14.8 million is useful.
Both Nelson and David got their own tasks and left, leaving only Andy and Carl in the office.
"I leave the company with 1 million funds to run. Except for the cliff site on the Blake Coast, you can help me find out, and you can help me see if there are any game companies for sale."
Andy was lying on the sofa at this time, with his head resting on the armrest, and his feet in the direction of the other armrest, Karl said lazily.
"Boss, why do you want to ask the game company again?" Carl scratched his head about the task that Andy assigned to himself.
Andy lay down and didn't want to move, rolled his eyes at Carl, "Let you ask and you'll ask, don't you brag about your connections all day, wouldn't this be a problem?"
"How is it possible! I just don't understand what you buy a game company for, but the stuff is a bottomless pit, millions and tens of millions are not enough to burn!" Carl was very angry at Andy's questioning, but Andy knew him This is a sultry.
Andy scorned him with no words, "Ask me so much, I know what I'm doing!"
"Oh ..." Carl Gan laughed. "I don't care about you, I'm afraid of your loss! Who made me your most loyal partner." He was cheeky, and played the emotional card immediately after the embarrassment. .
"You fat man, sometimes I really want to fire you, really." Andy said helplessly.
"Hey, you've fired me several times, but for my loyalty and ability, I don't think you will make the wrong decision." Carl said indifferently, calmly.
"Well, I was defeated by your shamelessness." Andy intensified his tone and expressed his helplessness. "Yes, the manuscript of" The Hunger Games "is in my bag. You can talk to Xuele."
"Why want to publish The Hunger Games now? Aren't you saying you have to wait?"
"Wait, since Xuele has given such good conditions, there is no need to keep it in your hands, and it's just the first volume," Andy explained to him.
"What about subsequent stories?"
Andy shrugged and said, "I have a new idea, a very strange story, I want to write it first!"
Although Carl's face was very calm, the surprise in his eyes still betrayed him. For the performance of Andy in the past few months, it just made him dream, he really dug a gold mine and hugged him. A golden thigh, for the future that Franklin kept pouring to himself, he converged the wave in his bones, looked at the manuscript on the table, remembered the humiliation suffered by CCA, and couldn't help sneering, as long as Andy kept having As new books are published, all of these IP copyrights are weapons in his hands, and he always has a chance to get revenge.
Andy sat up, took the coffee on the table and drank it. He stood and moved his muscles. "Well, you're busy, I'll go back."
Watching Andy who left a bunch of things to him, but patted him on the bottom, Carl felt helpless, but more grateful, and thanked Andy for not abandoning himself as a middle-aged man who failed in marriage , Career is now all he has.
His career at the CCA brokerage company was gone, which made him think of death at the time. Fortunately, he and Andy. "Thank you Andy, I won't let you down."
The sun is gradually going west, dyeing the sky into red orange, and gilding the silhouette of the mountain peaks, so that everything around it looks vibrant. Quiet and quiet, occasionally some chic small buildings protruded from the hillside, lazily hiding among the trees.
After dinner, Andy came to the deck chair by the pool with a bottle of ice wine and wine glass. He put a goblet of amber ice wine on his chest in his right hand, and put his left hand behind his head, looking up at the bright stars In the night sky, the cool night breeze blew the leaves and made a rustling sound.
This kind of leisure life is really wonderful. The kind of extravagance used to only make myself more painful at the time. Now, this kind of life is at your fingertips, thinking in my heart, but I can't help showing a hint of bitter smile and helplessness. .
Suddenly, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang, moved the posture upward, took the mobile phone out of the pocket, looked at the electric display, tapped it, and realized.
"Hey, mom, you haven't slept so late, isn't it over ten o'clock in New York now?" Andy asked calmly when he answered the phone.
"Son, I heard that you're rich? Tell your mother what's going on?" Li Wanqing heard some excited voices on the phone.
Andy had such an expression, and smiled. "Oh, my mother, why don't you know that I care about my health or anything? Ask me about getting rich when I come up. It's really a wealthy fan."
"Go, go, how do you talk to mom? You are very healthy. I asked Liu Yan long ago. This is not the envy and jealousy that made me curious when my dad came back at night. My son is amazing. You Dad's appearance was light, but he didn't know how happy he was. "Li Wanqing said with a smile.
"That's what happened ..."
Barabara said for half an hour before she made the matter clear, and finally Andy asked, "Mom, what do you want, I'll give it to you."
"Stupid son, my mother doesn't need anything, I just hope you can be good. I read your new book. Although there are some places that make people feel horrible, I feel that this can reflect the profound meaning of fairy tales." Andy's love made Andy feel warm.
"Oh, it seems that you like the story I wrote." Andy controlled the excited emotion in his body and pretended to laugh lightly.
"Of course I like it. The New York Times book review I think is the best written." In such a work that can be called both fable and magic, and is both fairy tale and realistic, the author has maintained a clean soul from beginning to end. It seems that I have always been wearing a school uniform or the first face of my life. "Mom is really happy for you, and now I can finally rest assured." Li Wanqing was so proud to read Andy a book review in the newspaper. The mother's love for her son also felt relieved.
I do n’t know if it was the part of the soul, tears overflowed from Andy ’s eyes, silently wiped out, sadness and happiness intertwined, “This feeling is really annoying! I will take good care of them, rest assured!” It seems right Whoever promises seems to be talking to himself.
"Well, don't say it, just rest. If nothing happens, go back to New York. My mother misses you a little bit." Li Wanqing said with a choked voice.
"Okay, mom, I'll go back to see you after I'm done here. I love your mom." Andy knew he couldn't continue.
"Well, well, mother loves you too. Okay, let's rest!" Li Wanqing seemed to whisper something to the people next to her, and her mood stabilized.
