Chapter 219: Means (4k)

Flushing, inside the office.

Wang was looking at the NBC channel and complaining inwardly at the same time.

This Al, is he really embarrassed to be on TV?

Indeed, because of the color of his skin, it was not easy for him to rent an apartment in the Bronx.

However, the rent is much higher than that of African-Americans, so it should be considered a clear deed, right?

As for the subsequent "I Am the Archmage" incident, no matter what the result is, it is a fact that he framed himself.

After he succeeded, he didn't retaliate against the other party, and he was already nostalgic for the old love.

Now, Al actually took a group of black people with him, and said in an interview how much help he had given him.

And after you succeeded, you didn't repay the other party at all?

Come on, the old blacks behind him, I don't know any of them.

In addition to Al, the two black people I know more well are still in the prison in Los Angeles!

At this time, Wang Yan's mobile phone rang.

As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Sarah's voice coming.

"Wang, a reporter contacted our childhood friend and said that he wanted to interview you about your past. ”

"It is said that the tendency of journalists to discredit you is very obvious. ”

Childhood friends?

Hearing this word, Wang gradually was shocked.

Although as far as I can remember, those children basically have no interaction, let alone feelings.

But...

Those reporters won't catch the evidence of their adoptive parents, will they?

"Who contacted you?" Wang gradually said quickly, "Do you know what they are talking about?"

"There's a partner who works in an electronics store," Sarah's tone was a little eager, "and he's using MD to record what's going on in the interview." ”

"Now he's contacting me and wants to sell the recording for $10,000. ”

Belch...

And this kind of operation?

Wang gradually shook his head and immediately replied, "Buy it." ”

"I've got it and I'm sending it to you. ”

Hearing this, he was a little moved.

Although $10,000 is just a small meaning for me.

But for Sarah, whose income has plummeted after creating "Prison Break", it is no longer a small amount.

"Thank you. Wang gradually whispered.

"Huh?" Sarah was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "When you robbed me of my money as a child, you never said thank you." ”

Soon, her voice was crisp again, "Alright, I'm downstairs for you." ”

Then without waiting for Wang to react, he hung up the phone.

After a while, under the gaze of Sarah and Tom, Wang gradually pressed the play button of MD.

When he finished listening to the recording, he frowned deeply.

Although the adoptive parents were not mentioned in the question, the tendencies were too obvious.

This is...

Do you really want to do it to yourself?

Wang gradually thought for a moment, and immediately dialed Matthew's phone.

"Matthew, will there be a mistake with my adoptive parents?"

"Adoptive parents?" Matthew took a long time to react.

"Don't worry, King. ”

"According to the lawyer's code and confidentiality agreement, if someone leaks secrets, he will be revoked from his profession. ”

"I don't think anyone wants their future for tens of thousands of dollars, right?"

Wang gradually thought for a moment and nodded.

So apart from the adoptive parents, what other black spots do you have to catch?

That's right, Anomaly!

He picked up the phone again and dialed James.

"Don't worry, King. James's voice was calm, "Viacom Group, has been in contact with ABC. ”

"They promised not to do anything that would affect the ratings of Anomaly. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yan was really a little confused.

Sure enough, if there is no routine, there is no way to break the move?

He looked at the TV and listened to the recording, still confused.

desperately reported how rich he was, and he didn't help his former partner.

Which part of the population cares most about this evaluation?

In an instant, a word came to Wang Yan's mind.

β€œnigger!”

"Tom, is there a significant percentage of African-Americans who pay for our site?"

"It shouldn't be big. Tom thought for a moment and said with certainty.

"According to the statistics on the computer side, most of the people who pay are not African-American. ”

"And on the mobile phone side, which cannot be accurately counted, the price of mobile phones is expensive. ”

"Most people of African descent can't afford it. ”

So, it doesn't have an impact on your own income?

Wang gradually pressed his temples hard, feeling that his IQ was really a little insufficient.

"Tom, do you think we should hire a media executive? After all, Twitter is a type of media. ”

"You're the boss, you have the final say. Tom shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "Yes, King." ”

"The stockbroker you asked me to find has been found. ”

Well?

Wang Yan, who couldn't figure out what NBC was trying to do, put this matter aside for the time being.

After all, it's the dollar that counts.

Isn't it also for money to maintain the character of a writer by yourself?

He took the business card from Tom and looked at it.

"Cornwall Capital, Jamie?? Wheat?" Wang gradually asked casually, "I don't think I have heard of it." ”

"You said you were looking for obedient traders, but you could only find some young people in young capital companies. Tom replied.

Belch... All right.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number on his business card.

What greeted Wang gradually was constant compliments.

On Wall Street, it turns out that there are such guys too?

Not everyone looks like Lyman, an elite.

"Mr. Wang, you are very discerning. "Jamie?? "Apple's prospects are very good, and now it's at an all-time low." ”

"How low?" Wang asked curiously.

"Uh," there was a pause on the other end of the line, "$0.97." ”

Less than a dollar?

Isn't this a complete junk stock?

Wang gradually shook his head speechlessly.

If it weren't for the heavy mention of Apple's mobile phone in the book, I would definitely not touch it.

He thought about his finances, and in addition to his paper wealth, he had about $20 million in liquidity.

Thanks to Twitter, thanks for listing.

You can withdraw cash normally again!

Then, in order to cope with the emergency, you have to leave about $5 million in liquidity.

"You need to come to Flushing, let's sign the contract. ”

"Ahh

Wang gradually hung up the phone, still sighing, "It turns out that there are poor people on Wall Street!"

"Wang, you want to invest in Apple?" asked Sarah, "I also have some money, can we join us?"

"Uh," the king groaned, thinking that it was not a big problem.

"But Apple is a junk stock, are you sure you're optimistic about its future?"

"I'm not bullish on Apple, I just trust you. Sarah smiled.

"If nothing else, I'll go out. Tom frowned and said with an embarrassed expression.

Sarah looked at Wang for a moment, took out her check holder, and signed the amount of $80,000.

"I'm working on Prison Break 2 and I'm leaving. ”

After both of them left the office, Wang let out a long sigh.

Although he is confident that Apple's stock will rise.

But the amount of the account has been reduced from 20 million to 5 million all at once, which is still very distressing.

"That's right!" Wang gradually sat up straight, "although there is no such thing as a god or something, I am not going to publish it." ”

"But "Harem?? The Legend of Zhen Huan", it seems that it is only halfway through the adaptation. ”

He quickly opened the backstage and looked at the rate at which women paid for the work.

It seems that if you find another historical figure and put on the routine of "Harem", you can make a fortune again!

At this point, he remembered that he hadn't paid Sarah back the $10,000.

"Forget it, just give 10% of the proceeds from this book as a gift to Sarah. ”

"Although I love money, I still have a bottom line. ”

He looked at Al on the TV and frowned, "This kind of person, don't try to take a dollar from me." ”

"But Sarah," the king groaned and nodded, "it's worth it." ”

......

And at this time, the office building of NBC.

Bob Woodward was sitting in his office chair, sipping tea leisurely.

As a legendary journalist who will leave his name in the history of the United States and even the world.

When he faced the top management of NBC, one of the three major wireless television networks, he naturally did not grovel like ordinary reporters and did his best to curry favor.

The deputy director looked at the picture that was being broadcast on TV, hesitated, and asked, "Mr. Wood, what we want is to make the writers realize the true face of Wang, so that the best-selling authors can return to the publishing house." ”

"Through Simon again?? Schuster Press, a film and television company under the Viacom Group, has obtained more film and television adaptation rights. ”

"What's the use of letting some low-level African-Americans make some kingly, stingy, and unruly remarks?"

"Most of them aren't users, so that doesn't even affect Wang's subscription revenue, right?"

"Hehe," the middle-aged white man chuckled, "there are many inside stories about the Watergate scandal, and I can't give examples of them, and you won't be happy to hear them." ”

Wood took a sip of coffee and slowly stood up, "For ease of understanding, I'll use Michael, the 'King of Pop'. Jackson is an example. ”

He picked up the remote control and pressed it, and Michael's big screen appeared on the conference room. Jackson's main experience.

"Even though the main purchaser of his records has always been white. But skin color is also an important reason for Jackson's rise. ”

"Like the famous African-American musician Quincy?? Jones's help, as well as the honor bonus of 'Black Light'. ”

"Once, the Grammys were even protested by many fans because they didn't give an award to the 'King of Pop'. ”

Among them, the hardest working group is naturally the African American community. ”

At that time, his influence in the circle had surpassed that of many record companies, and the star-studded singing of "We Are the World" was a manifestation of this. ”

After that, Jackson got a record contract, and he was about to change the entire record industry by himself. ”

Wood looked at the deputy director and asked with a smile: "But now, why are many singers reluctant to work with Jackson anymore?"

The deputy director thought for a moment and said with certainty: "Children's incident?"

"No, that's just a big explosion. The legendary journalist pointed his finger at "Skin Problems": "He was abandoned by African Americans, and those who were egalitarians were the loudest voices." ”

Wood pressed the remote control with his hand, and the big screen turned into a picture of Wang Gradual.

Now, let's take a look at this young Asian American who is trying to change the landscape of publishing. ”

The reason why this incident can be spread so widely is also related to the voices of many African-American celebrities. ”

"However, the good thing is that he is only Asian, and to change the African American's opinion of Wang, you don't have to treat Michael like you?? Jackson, like that, takes a long fermentation. ”

And his behavior of not having to follow his classmates offended low-level African-American and African-American stars at the same time. ”

"How many African-American celebrities nowadays don't have so-called partners? And the influence of these partners on celebrities must be far greater than that of an Asian-American writer, right?"

"But there are also HIV groups and animal protection groups that are supporting Wang. The deputy director muttered.

"These groups are too small to cause mass incidents. Wood shook his head and said with a smile.

"Although we have not obtained concrete evidence of the incident of Wang's adoptive parents," the legendary reporter added, "but we are not judges, so we don't need to convict him." ”

"In the case of being abandoned by the largest support group, how can TV stations guide public opinion, NBC should be very experienced, right?"

"At this time, the "Abnormal Creature Experience" should have finished playing, and we will take out Wang's consumption record. ”

"Luxury cars, luxury villas, and all the clothes of a certain model in all the luxury stores on Fifth Avenue. ”

In addition, with the zero investment in the filming of "Anomaly", the writer group should also abandon him. ”

Wood sat back and took a sip of his coffee, "A billionaire with no basic plates, especially since he's Asian." ”

Moreover, unlike Wang An, he is involved in many jobs. ”

He stared at the deputy director tightly, "Then, some unconventional means can be implemented." ”

"Uhhhh ”

"Oh," Wood patted Michael?? Jackson's photo, smiling slightly, "Is that really for John??" Mr. Lennon and Miss Yoko Ono are sorry. ”

Then, he changed to a chattering tone and talked to the deputy director.

"In John?? After Mr. Lennon was stabbed to death, I used to queue up at video stores to buy his commemorative album. ”

"We were just enjoying the music and scolding Yoko Ono, but we didn't notice that John was at the time?? Mr. Lennon's record label was acquired by a major record label. ”

The legendary reporter looked at the surprised expression of the deputy director and waved his hand casually.

"Alas, when people are old, they always like to reminisce about the past. ”

"Maybe the female sign-in officer who had a relationship with Wang regardless of her age, and the female writer who lived in prison and received a lot of luxuries, reminded me of Yoko Ono. ”

"By the way, have you seen Wang's works?" he nodded in admiration, "Among them, the "Arcane Throne" is really very exciting. ”

"Even I, a person who doesn't like to watch fantasy, was fascinated by it. ”

"Definitely. The deputy director nodded and agreed: "It's an excellent work." ”

"And how much box office should 'Arcane Throne' be adapted into a movie?" Wood said casually.

"Alright, it's time for me to go to work. The legendary reporter stood up, "Please tell Mr. Lei Shidong that I am very interested in serving as the head of the news department of NBC. ”

The deputy director hurriedly replied: "I believe that under your leadership, the NBC news department will enter a period of rapid development." ”
