Chapter 848 What can I do if I can't bear to pay?

   On June 1st, Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong set off for Europa. The first stop was of course France, because there was Liu Qingshan's old friend Victor there.

   Liu Qingshan came to the front station, and the singers under the big tree will have to wait for more than a month to come.

  Currently people's minds are focused on the World Cup, especially the people on the Europa side, who are extremely fanatical about football, so they still have to avoid the limelight.

  After more than ten hours, the plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport smoothly.

  Liu Qingshan is a light car this time, besides Wu Tong, he only takes Lu Fang and Lu Liang with him to run errands.

  The four received the salute and left the airport. They soon saw Victor, with that Mediterranean hairstyle, looking around in the crowd.

  Beside Victor, there are two familiar faces, Leo and Rose.

  Almost at the same time, Victor also saw Liu Qingshan, his eyes lit up immediately, and he greeted him with open arms:

   "Oh, Liu, welcome to France, you will definitely feel the enthusiasm and romance of the girls here."

  Liu Qingshan and Victor hugged, and then introduced: "Victor, this is my girlfriend Wu Tong."

  Victor hurriedly coughed twice as if to cover up, and stretched out his hand to Wu Tong: "You are also welcome, beautiful lady, Liu and I are old friends, and it was just a joke between friends."

  Wu Tong's English is not bad, he smiled and shook hands with Victor.

  Victor kept complimenting him: "I've always been curious about what kind of girlfriend someone as outstanding as Liu would find. Now that I see Miss Wu, I finally know the answer."

  This guy is both a businessman and a writer, so his lip service is really pleasing.

  Leo and the others also greeted them. Rose and Wu Tong had met before, and after meeting, they were very affectionate.

   After a brief greeting, several people got into Victor's and Leo's cars respectively, and left the airport together.

  They did not enter the urban area, and the car finally stopped in front of the wrought iron gate of a manor.

  Victor honked the horn a few times, a servant opened the gate, and two cars entered the manor one after another.

  The old trees along the road have luxuriant branches and leaves, and the lawn next to it is very neatly trimmed.

   There are also bursts of quiet floral fragrance, wafting in from the car window.

   "Victor, it's a great place." Liu Qingshan gave a thumbs up.

  Victor's face was also very happy: "Liu, compared to your Jiapigou, it's a little bit worse, just a little bit."

  He only bought this manor last year. Victor has grown from an unknown small businessman to the present level, and he is proud of both fame and fortune.

  However, Victor is still very sober: All of this is actually done by following Liu Qingshan.

  Whether in business or in writing.

   I got off the car in front of a small building with a sense of history. It is a small European-style building with a steeple, and it should be a few years old.

   "An earl used to live here." Victor was quite proud.

   Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "Now it belongs to Earl Victor."

   "No, I'm only Lord now."

  Victor shook his head, these old-fashioned Europeans have an incomprehensible attachment to titles.

  Two tall and mighty Dogo dogs ran over first, followed by a teenage boy, calling the dog's name.

  But those two dogs didn't listen to him at all.

  Dogo dogs are also a notorious breed, and things that hurt people often happen.

  Victor couldn't help becoming nervous: "Cupid, stop, stop quickly, don't scare the guests!"

  The two big dogs seemed to have never heard of it, and rushed towards Liu Qingshan and the others.

  When Lu Fang and Lu Liang saw each other, they immediately stood in front of Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong, ready to fight.

  Liu Qingshan took another two steps forward and yelled, "Get down!"

  The two Dogo dogs were taken aback for a moment, and then came to a sudden stop together, crawled on the ground, drooping their heads, and dared not move their bodies.

   "Oh, Liu, you can't be Artemis!" Leo yelled.

   Liu Qingshan gave this guy a blank look: "I'm a man, okay?"

  Artemis is the **** in charge of hunting in Greek mythology. Note that she is a goddess.

   Everyone laughed, the boy also ran over, looked at the two Dogo dogs lying on the ground, and then covered his nose:

   "Cupid, you actually pissed, you can do it!"

  These two dogs were obviously scared to pee just now. Liu Qingshan was able to fight a bear and a tiger in the mountains. Of course, these two dogs cannot parry him.

   "Liu, this is my little son Nino." Victor stroked the little guy's head: "Nino, this is the Uncle Mountain I often tell you about."

  The little boy looked up at Liu Qingshan and said, "Hello, Brother Mountain."

   "Uncle." Victor was a little embarrassed.

  Liu Qingshan didn't care: "Nino, come on, this is a gift for you."

   Wu Tong quickly took out a box, which contained a puppet in the shape of Monkey King.

   "This is a very powerful hero in our country. I hope you, Nino, will become a great hero in the future."

  Liu Qingshan shook hands with Nuno formally, and then said: "You can start by controlling this dog."

   "Okay, Mountain, I will work hard." The little guy clenched his fists, and Victor felt relieved.

  His son is good at everything, but he is a little timid, and among children of his age, he is always bullied.

   At this time, the hostess of the family also responded. Although it was the first time they met, they were very close to Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong.

  Because she also knows that the changes in the family have a lot to do with the young man in front of her.

   Entering the living room, Liu Qingshan took out presents, which were several mobile phones of Jade Bird Palm.

   "Oh, is this a mobile phone, too small?"

  Leo opened the box, a little unbelievable.

  Victor also looked at the phone carefully: "Liu, this is your phone, it does look a bit small, will the functions be affected?"

  Liu Qingshan shrugged: "You can give it a try."

  After many years of cooperation, Victor certainly believed in Liu Qingshan: "My friend, congratulations, what marketing methods have you prepared this time, the World Cup?"

  The two looked at each other and laughed, and in each other's eyes, there was a sense of confidant that belonged to profiteers.

  Victor knows Liu Qingshan quite well, and knows that he will definitely take advantage of this popularity, but Victor is a little regretful:

   "Unfortunately, our national team did not enter the finals this time. Otherwise, I can introduce you to a few players and help you advertise. I think there is a young man named Zidane who has great potential."

   Zidane, of course, has potential. Eight years later, he will lead his team to win the World Cup.

  When talking about football, old men like Victor became excited and started discussing this World Cup with Liu Qingshan.

  Leo also joined in very quickly, and the three of them quarreled over the ownership of the final champion.

  The hostess smiled and pulled Wu Tong and Rose up: "Men, once you talk about football, forget everything. Let's go for a walk. Wu, can you ride a horse?"

   When going out, the hostess smiled and said: "You can quarrel, but fighting is absolutely not allowed!"

   "We don't dare to fight Liu." Victor and Leo said in unison.

   Then Victor said to Liu Qingshan: "Liu, tell me about your publicity plan, maybe I can help the staff."

  Liu Qingshan nodded: "First of all, I will donate 10 million German marks to the championship team."

   "Why Deutsche Mark?" Leo was a little puzzled.

  Liu Qingshan blinked: "Because they will be the final champions."

   "No, I am more optimistic about Argentina because they have Maradona." Leo began to repeat the topic just now.

  Victor nodded: "This idea is good, it is easy to attract attention and spark topics, but, Liu, don't you think this investment is a bit too big and out of proportion to the output?"

   "It's okay, I have more than 100 million East German marks in my hand." Liu Qingshan will not hide from Victor.

  Victor's eyes lit up: "Liu, do you think the two Germanys will unify their currencies?"

   In fact, this happened in July of this year.

  Now, the exchange ratio between West German Mark and East German Mark is about one to four. As for the black market, it is even more outrageous, and the highest can reach one to seven.

   That is to say, Liu Qingshan’s East German mark of more than 100 million is worth more than 20 million West German mark now, but in a month, it will at least quadruple it.

  So Liu Qingshan really doesn't care about the 10 million marks donated.

  Victor's business sense is very keen, and he immediately realized the business opportunities here: if a large number of East German marks are purchased now, he will definitely make a lot of money.

  But he quickly shook his head again: "The risk is too great."

  This kind of risk is not an investment risk, but a political risk, because what you are ultimately facing is a powerful state machine.

  Liu Qingshan could not care about this, because the East German marks he had accumulated were all accumulated through trade in the past few years. No one could find fault, and the West German government had to recognize it.

  After figuring out the situation on Liu Qingshan's side, Victor can only give a thumbs up.

  In terms of business, he obeyed Liu Qingshan. This vision is true, and the unification of the two Germanys could have been predicted a few years ago.

   "In addition, I also want to advertise in the World Cup broadcast competition, this has already been contacted."

  Liu Qingshan has long entrusted Qingshan Advertisement to contact the organizer for advertisement placement.

  One is a TV advertisement, and the other is a three-sided billboard.

  Preparing for a rainy day has always been Liu Qingshan's style of acting.

   In addition, Liu Qingshan also sponsored jersey advertisements and so on. It can be said that this World Cup, the Jade Bird Company represented by Liu Qingshan invested huge financial resources.

  If you want to make the blue bird a blockbuster, what can you do if you can't bear to pay?

  Jersey advertisements, of course, can’t cast a wide net. All 24 teams will put it on, and Liu Qingshan only selected three teams.

  One is the West German team, one is the host team, and the other is the little-known African team, the Cameroon team.

   "Liu, are you kidding me? Are African teams worth investing in?" Victor expressed his confusion.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and said nothing, let's speak with facts.

  In the 1990 World Cup, the most shining star was not Maradona, or even the troika in the German team that won the championship, but the magical "Uncle Mira" in the Cameroon team.

  This age-obsessed uncle led Cameroon to the quarterfinals and made history.

  Africa has many athletes, and their age is a mystery.

  Because there is no perfect household registration system, many children do not know their real age at all.

   Similar to the famous NBA star, African Dashan, Dikembe Mutombo, is the one who shakes his finger.

  After Liu Qingshan finished talking about the general plan, Victor talked about his situation. With the development of the situation, the sanction order has basically disappeared, and the business between Victor and Jiapigou has resumed.

  The price has also increased a bit, there is no way, Jiapigou has opened up new sales channels, and the products are more popular, so the price is of course going up.

   On the other hand, it is the new book co-authored by Victor and Liu Qingshan.

  As soon as he mentioned this, Victor became even more excited: "Liu, guess what is the sales volume of the first part of Twilight?"

   This book has been published for more than half a year, Liu Qingshan pondered, there must be several million copies.

   After all, it is a work with a global sales volume of over 100 million. Liu Qingshan still has this confidence, so he smiled and said a number: "Five million?"

   "Haha, in North America alone, the sales volume exceeds this figure, and with Europa, the sales volume has already exceeded 10 million!"

  Victor couldn't help but dance a little bit. This achievement is indeed enough to make people proud.

  Of course Liu Qingshan is also very happy: the sales volume of more than 10 million copies means that he can also have more than 10 million manuscript fees.

  The money is enough for him to play in this World Cup.

  For a World Cup, the sum of the bets of fans all over the world is definitely an incomparably huge number.

  The gambling profits brought by the spinach company alone can reach hundreds of billions. Liu Qingshan can't even make a fortune with this little money.

  After the excitement, Victor said again: "Liu, we can settle the payment in advance. Do you want a check, or should I transfer the money to you?"

   "Just transfer the money, and my hands are itching right now." Liu Qingshan replied with a smile.

  Victor straightened his Mediterranean hairstyle: "Liu, a small gamble will make you happy, but a big gamble will hurt your health."

   "Okay, I will remember your words." Liu Qingshan also knew that Victor was thinking of him, so he was very grateful.

  But knowing the results of some games, if you don't go to get a vote, you will really feel sorry for the audience.

   Liu Qingshan dared to spend a lot of money during the World Cup, mainly because he was confident in recovering the losses, and even brought back some interest.

  Victor began to imagine again: "I have already started planning to write the second part of Twilight, Liu, this series is enough for us to eat for a lifetime."

   "You don't know, not only is the book published, but also people come to the door to adapt TV dramas and movies."

   "There are still some writers who want to be authorized to write similar works; some outrageous ones start writing such vampire novels without saying hello. I want to use the law to protect my rights..."

  Victor was eloquent, chatterbox opened, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. A bright future has been outlined by him.

  Liu Qingshan listened quietly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, because all of this also has his half.
