Chapter 71: Where's My Protagonist's Aura?!
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Happy working together!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of the newspaper office, Arthur smiled and shook hands with Nigel Massat of Du Li TV, and after exchanging contracts in the presence of their respective lawyers, they exchanged pleasant words.
On the premise that both parties are interested in promoting cooperation, Arthur made concessions for the film and television rights of the sequel, and Du Li TV also made a compromise on the film share, if the future is really going to make a movie.
Arthur reached out and took the check for Β£750,000 handed to him by Nigel Mashat, although he still had a faint smile on his face, he was still a little excited in his heart.
This is the largest amount of money he has earned by his own ability since he came to this world, and it is of great significance.
Reserved, Arthur remained reserved, and directly handed the check to Paul, the butler standing behind him, "I will write the follow-up plot as soon as possible, and I will never delay your script adaptation." β
"Thank you, if you can, our screenwriter will visit you and discuss the adaptation of the plot with you, and we will respect the original book as much as possible, you can rest assured. Nigel Massat smiled and made a promise, it wasn't the first time he had dealt with writers, and it was natural to know what these writers feared and hated the most.
"I will look forward to your visit. Although Arthur didn't care about how the other party adapted, there was no need to refuse the other party's kindness.
"That's it, let's take our leave. β
"Goodbye. β
Arthur smiled and shook hands again. It wasn't until he saw the other party off that the smile on Arthur's face brightened.
"At this time, we should have a drink and celebrate!" Jerry Fuller, the newspaper's editor-in-chief, suggested with a laugh.
"Hehe, this is your place, take out your treasured wine!" said Tom.
"No problem, Dewar's Imperial Whiskey. β
"Haha, I didn't expect that you really have a good wine hidden in the office, so you must try it. Lawyer James also laughed and coaxed.
"Then go to his office and taste his good wine. Arthur smiled happily.
IMPERIAL IS A PREMIUM BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY WITH A STRONG MALTY FLAVOR AND A MORE MELLOW AND SMOOTH TASTE, WHICH MAKES IT MORE PEACEFUL AND SMOOTH. In terms of quality, Dewar's is really the go-to whisky go.
"Dingβ"
"Congratulations, boss. βX3
"Thank you. In the face of the congratulations of the three subordinates, Arthur smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to signal, and drank together.
"Ahh
"It's really good wine. β
"It's really good... β
"Of course, this is a good wine I've treasured for three years, Paul, don't you really want some wine?" Picking up the bottle, Jerry said with a smug face, and while pouring it back for everyone, he looked at Paul, the butler, who was on the side, and invited again.
"Thanks, no, I still have to drive. With a nonchalant smile, Paul declined again.
"Well, you're missing a chance to taste the classics. Jerry snapped the cap and teased with a smile, and everyone shook their heads and laughed.
After drinking two glasses, Arthur smiled and shook his head to refuse Jerry's re-pouring of wine, and after putting down the glass, he looked at Lawyer James and asked, "Is there any new progress on Robert's side?"
"No, similar to the situation reported last time, the amount of loans and interest rates issued by several banks are not ideal, the key is that the overall economic environment has made banks very cautious and conservative, and banks have expressed concerns and doubts about their ability to repay. James frowned slightly, shook his head and reported.
Arthur nodded, pondered for a while, and said to Jerry and Tom, who were silent, "Jerry, report the high price of the movie rights to the "Boleyn Manor" novel. At the same time, it was announced that the novel would soon be published in a volume. β
"Okay, I'll see the newspaper tomorrow. β
"Tom, I'll finish Boleyn Manor as soon as possible, and I'll leave the matter of publication to you. β
"No problem, boss. β
"Since they're worried about my ability to repay, I'll give them a reason to reassure, and after talking to the people at Random House, Jerry, you can also release some news about me being the author of Gray's Fifty Shades.
I believe that after these news comes out, those banks will not be so difficult to talk about!" Arthur also knows that although his own land is enough, it is not high-value land that can be used to develop real estate, and it may not be so easy to lend an amount of money close to the appraised value, but I believe that once his fame is hyped up and he becomes a hot writer, the banks will change their attitude.
To be honest, if he hyped up the matter and value of his auction of antiques, I believe it would be easier for the banks to let go of their worries, but the auction of antiques will eventually make people question the financial situation of the Bolin family.
After arranging these things, Arthur and the housekeeper Paul rushed before the bank closed, exchanged the cash checks, and transferred them to Arthur's personal account, and the moment they walked out of the bank, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a little confidence, although it was not even a million, but for the original guard of a manor worth tens of millions of pounds, the deposit was only tens of thousands of pounds.
There is money in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart!
Maybe this is also the obsession of being a Celestial Empire, for the current time in the West to spend money in the future, and the deposit is zero, Arthur is probably really unable to adapt, otherwise, it is impossible to even dig three feet into the ground in order to make some money.
Speaking of digging three feet into the ground, the Earl, who drove back to Boleyn Manor for more than 30 minutes, almost immediately carried a metal detector and began to 'scan' inch by inch around the castle.
Not to mention, after an hour, I really let the Earl find 3 pounds 75 pence...
Looking at the handful of coins in his hand, the corners of Arthur's mouth couldn't help but pull, and Paul, the butler who had been following him, still had an indifferent and kind smile, but the eyes flashed, but with a hint of a smile.
"Earl, you better have some afternoon tea and take a rest, I'm afraid it's too time-consuming and laborious to hunt for treasure like this. Paul, the butler, looked at the Earl, who was holding his breath and looking depressed, and had to speak out to dissuade him.
"Ahem... All right. "Actually, Arthur also knows that such a blind treasure hunt is bullshit, but isn't he pinning his hopes on his protagonist's aura, the soul wears this kind of shit luck that falls on his head, the absolute protagonist template, as the protagonist, shouldn't he kick a stone with diamonds?
Well, after experiments, it seems that he thinks too much...
Let's go back to his jewelry box for afternoon tea, and then continue to study the treasure map of the eggs left by the ancestors of the descendants of the pit!
