Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere, due to excessive excitement, Carl was drunk on Andy's sofa and did not leave, after sending Nelson away, he saw Carl lying on the sofa in the living room like a dead pig, and said to the nanny Liu Yan: "Aunt Liu, give him that blanket and let him sleep on the sofa." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info You can go and rest too.

"Yes, sir. After Liu Yan took out a blanket from the guest room on the first floor and covered it for Carl, she turned off the main light in the living room and rested.

Andy walked into the bathroom, closed the door, took off his clothes, and stepped into the tub with his legs raised.

He likes the feeling of bathing more and more, especially looking at his more and more robust body, which should be the welfare after the crossing, the large pores of Westerners have disappeared, and there is no chest hair that makes Easterners look unaccustomed, and the rough skin has become much more delicate.

If you want to sell at a good price, there is still a lot of work to be done, of course, the preliminary work has Nelson and Carl to preside over the contact, for Andy to fire the previous accountant, Nelson did not ask too much, just told Andy that he would soon find a new financial advisor with rich experience to join the negotiation team.

The comfortable hot bath made Andy completely relaxed, wiped it clean with a bath towel, put on a bathrobe and walked outside, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the desk in the bedroom and lit it, looking at the night sky outside the window, very entangled.

As the body grows stronger day by day, the restless heart of the party animal and the mind that likes to be quiet and die collide all the time.

Suppressing that urge, Andy snuffed out his cigarette and turned off the lights to sleep.

As soon as the next day dawned, Carl left in a hurry, sat in the car and began to make calls, almost looking up all the people he knew in the phone book from the TV station.

After Andy had breakfast, he got in the car and wandered around Hollywood, and he has been here for two months, and he really hasn't looked around much, and some of them are just memories in his head.

Rodeo Drive is the most upscale and exquisite fashion shopping street in Los Angeles, where the world's most famous and popular international masters are gathered. Rodeo Drive is a bold and ornate feature that is in keeping with its status as the world's most prosperous and expensive shopping thoroughfare.

At either end of Rodeo Drive are the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly, two of the top hotels in Los Angeles. In between, there are more than 100 designer stores and haute couture stores atop the ivory towers of the fashion industry.

Immediately adjacent to Rodeo Avenue is Rodeo Second 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 almost didn't let go of any distinctive stores, and found a lot of favorites from a variety of goods, constantly swiping cards, and the mess added up to eight or nine bags.

The feeling of having money is indeed happy, and there is no need to worry about the price when you see what you like, and this kind of economic freedom makes Andy very comfortable.

Thinking about his former self, he was almost out of breath under the pressure of mortgages and car loans, and he didn't dare to get married, and when he thought of getting married, he thought of his girlfriend.

Ay......

With a light sigh, Andy no longer continued to dwell on the past, and now thought that those were just adding to the troubles.

After a few days of wandering like this, Nelson and Carl led the team to communicate and negotiate with several TV stations that were interested in buying ideas, and finally NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) and CBS (CBS) were the most sincere.

Andy finished reading the document in his hand, threw it on the desk, looked at Nelson and Carl sitting opposite, gently turned the pen in his hand, and frowned slightly.

"NBC is only willing to bid 8 million to buy out the rights in the United States and refuse to share the advertising revenue, and CBS is only willing to bid 5 million and also refuse the advertising share. Nelson looked at Andy, who was frowning, and explained.

"Hmph. Andy sneered in his heart, they saw that they were not capable of making it, so they desperately lowered the price.

"Carl, how is the British contact?" Andy asked, looking at Carl, who had been in a daze.

"Independent Television is willing to bid £30 million, plus 10% of advertising revenues to buy out our global rights!" Carl recounted before he had recovered from the phone call he had just received.

Nelson and Andy both looked at each other in surprise, and then asked at the same time, "What's going on?"

"Ah。。。。。。h Carl, who woke up from his daze, jumped up suddenly, and the fat on his body trembled, which was very funny.

"Okay, don't get excited, tell us, what's going on?" Andy asked aloud and angrily, rolling his eyes.

"Hahaha, I heard that someone from their TV station recently came up with a talent idea, which is somewhat similar to our program idea, but not as perfect and novel as ours, after I faxed them, they haven't heard back, and they only called me on the way here today to tell me that they want to buy it!" Carl still laughed excitedly, looking like a villain.

Nelson and Andy looked at each other, and at the same time were glad that they had the rights in their hands early.

"Congratulations boss, you've become a multi-millionaire, and maybe soon you'll be a young billionaire!" Nelson said as he stood up and congratulated with a glint of envy in his eyes.

"Hehe, thank you, it's all luck, who would have thought that the by-product of writing a novel would be so valuable! However, I won't sell the global rights, tell them that I will only sell them the rights in the UK, and I can give up the advertising revenue share. Andy couldn't stop the ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't get carried away, and the global copyright could only be held in his own hands.

"Nelson, I'll give you the authority to negotiate with them with you and Carl. ”

"No problem, boss, you can rest assured. Nelson was equally interested in getting the deal done, after all, he would receive a good amount of money.

"Also, Carl, the contract with Scholastic has been signed, when will my book be published?" asked Andy to the agent next to him.

"I have already asked, and they said that they will see the newspaper in the next few days, and the advance publicity should be in place. Karl was still red-faced and excited.

Andy nodded slightly, slapped 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 will leave, and the rest will be left to you." ”

Andy waved his hand, so that Cole and Nelson, who were standing at the door, did not have to send themselves and walked out of the small building.

This small three-story building is the office of the "Mockingja" copyright company, located in West Hollywood, the walls are also a little mottled, the company's signboard has been hung, and a mockingbird badge fluttering in flames is particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Scholastic Publishing did move very quickly, and in two days, more than a dozen newspapers across the United States reported the news of Andy's new book.

Walking into the company, there are a few new faces in the company today, especially the two front desk ladies, who are about 1.7 meters tall, with a hot body and good facial features, but the makeup on the face is really a bit thick, and Andy has no interest after a few more glances.

"Nima, Carl, this dead fat man will enjoy it, although it is not the best, but it can also be said to be a beauty, isn't it fucking playing some unspoken rules!" Andy complained secretly in his heart.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, Manager Carl and Attorney Nelson are already waiting for you in the manager's office. One of the receptionists said with a smile on his face.

Andy smiled and nodded, looking at the white shirt that was almost bursting, and couldn't help but secretly admire, "Really Nima!"

Pushing open the door, I saw Carl and Nelson both dressed in suits and leather shoes, chatting without a word.

"How is it, can you decide today? These days, you've worked hard. Andy sat down on the couch and looked at the two men who had been working hard for him.

"Oh my God, Andy, you're finally here, we've been tired for the past few days。。。。。 Karl grumbled with a look of disgrief.

"Hey, Carl, don't complain, since I'm here, let's leave right away. Andy interrupted Carl's rambling angrily and looked at Nelson.

"Hehe, it's almost time, there are some things we talk about on the way. Nelson picked up his briefcase and followed Andy to talk about the progress of the negotiations over the past two days.

When he arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy saw five or six people sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, and when he saw them walking into the lobby, he quickly began to tidy up his appearance and walked over to them.

Andy still has some impressions of a few people, this is his negotiation team, when the two sides turned, they walked towards the elevator.

"Ding"

As soon as the elevator door opened, Andy saw Steve Frye, the representative of the British Independent Television Station who had already met once, waiting for the head of the distribution department of the negotiation.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, it's a pleasure to see you again. Steve Fry smiled and reached out and Andy's hand shook everything.

"Hello, Mr. Fry, I've kept you waiting. Andy's handsome face had a big smile.

"Here, please, the vice president in charge of variety shows of our TV station has been waiting inside for a long time. ”

Andy looked back at Nelson, who nodded slightly, giving him a reassuring look, and couldn't help but speed up a little.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a little chubby, got up from his seat with a smile on his face and walked up to Andy surrounded by a group of people.

"This is our Vice President Ed. Mr. Childs, Mr. Childs, this is Mr. Andy Smith. Steve Fry introduced.

When Childs heard this, he shook Andy's hand with a smile and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Smith, you are so young." ”

Andy also shook hands with him with a smile and said, "It's my honor to meet you." ”

After the two of them let go of their hands, after a few words of greeting, the two groups sat down separately, but the leader was no longer Andy. Nelson, along with Carl and Andy's financial advisor, make up the top of the negotiation this time, and Andy knows that he is a complete mascot and can only watch them fight for his own interests.
