For Louis not able to answer his own question, Li Daniu is actually mentally prepared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to selling more than 450 million copies worldwide, the book adapted from the seven-part film series also set a very astonishing box office performance - 7.8 billion US dollars.

However, compared to the amazing value that the book later created, at the beginning, almost no one liked the book.

When the original author, Sister Rowling, wrote this book around 1991, but the first part of the book was published in 1997.

Such a long time difference is not because the book is too difficult to write, on the contrary, Sister Rowling completed the first draft of the first part in less than a year. The reason why it took such a long time to be published is entirely because Rowling's submissions have always been lost in the sea and have not received a response at all.

It wasn't until 1997 that a publisher decided to publish the book, and that the book was a miracle in the UK that everyone didn't expect, and was then scrambled by publishers all over the world.

Many works, in the eyes of professionals, are not very good, but the direction of the market is beyond the expectations of professionals, and "Harry Potter" completely proves this.

On the contrary, when the book "The Lord of the Rings" was first born, it was regarded as a classic by all who read it, and they were fascinated by the grand world created in it.

When Li Daniu took out this book, he also considered that it might be rejected by the publishing house, after all, Sister Rowling had been rejected for several years in a row. But he didn't expect that because of his "Lord of the Rings", Louis didn't even read the manuscript, and was directly willing to sign a contract with him at a super high royalty of 60%.

"If you regret it, we can terminate that publishing contract. Li Daniu has always been so understanding, of course, he will never admit that if Louis really wants to terminate the contract, then he will give up Louis and never take him to fly again.

"Regret, of course not. Louis exclaimed, and then explained: "I was only disturbed last night because of your diamonds, don't worry, give me another night, and I will definitely be able to memorize all the plots of your new book." ”

Although Louis is not optimistic about Li Daniu's new work, he is very optimistic about Li Daniu as a person, and even if this new book may not be good. But relying on the fan base established by "The Lord of the Rings", the sales should also be more objective.

It's nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less, and Louis has already decided that even if he loses money to publish this time, he must maintain a good relationship with Li Daniu.

"It doesn't matter if you look at it or not, as long as you don't regret it. ”

After Li Daniu chatted with Louis about the launch of the new book, Martin finally completed the identification of all the diamonds.

"Good work. Li Daniu was very leader and shook Martin's hand.

"It is my pleasure to serve you. Martin asked, "With all due respect, may I ask you what are you going to collect this batch of diamonds, or do you want to dispose of them?"

"Dispose of it, of course. Li Daniu replied: "I was about to ask you, you are a person in this industry, do you have a familiar jewelry store that can take over this batch of diamonds." ”

Martin wiped the cold sweat that suddenly broke out on his forehead and replied: "With all due respect, the value of your batch of diamonds is too great, and I believe that there is no jewelry company in this world that has enough cash to eat this batch of diamonds." However, I can introduce you to a few relatively strong companies, and they should have no problem winning a portion of the diamonds each. ”

"It's better, but I'd like to be able to do it as soon as possible, and it would be perfect if we could meet today, you know, it's very risky for me to hold so many diamonds alone. Li Daniu is actually a little vague about the value of this batch of diamonds, but he probably thinks that it should be at least ten figures of US dollars, but he doesn't know how many tens of dollars it is. If Martin said that he would only introduce one company, he would be afraid that people would kill him.

As for worrying about risks, Li Daniu is completely joking.

"If you don't mind, I can contact them right now. ”

Of course, Li Daniu didn't mind, and after motioning for Martin to call, he picked up Castro's record and looked at it.

Although he knew that the diamond was graded as 4C, he didn't understand the detailed grading in the 4C, so he only paid attention to the price analysis done by Martin.

After checking the price of diamonds of similar levels on the Internet with his mobile phone, Li Daniu found that the price analysis made by Martin was very reliable, basically about the same as the market price, and some even exceeded it.

And this batch of diamonds, the smallest, is also more than five carats, worth more than a million dollars. Some diamonds, even more than 10 carats, are worth more than $10 million because of their high quality.

According to Castro's statistics, the market price of this batch of diamonds is about $2.3 billion according to Martin's price analysis.

The reason why Martin analyzes it completely according to the market price is because this batch of diamonds of Li Daniu are all finished diamonds. To put it simply, it is casually set in a ring, and it can be taken out and sold as a high-quality diamond ring.

For jewelry companies, such diamonds, with a little bit of thought on the ring, can make a diamond ring that goes directly to auction.

As soon as Li Daniu finished reading it, Martin had already contacted several jewelers, and as an appraiser for GIA, he still had some connections.

"I've been in touch and there are three companies that would like to come to Hollywood today. ”

"Thank you so much. Li Daniu pointed to the diamonds on the table and said, "If you pick it, it will be your appraisal fee." ”

Professional accreditation agencies, especially world-renowned accreditation institutions such as GIA, have a very high accreditation fee. Normally, his batch of diamonds worth $2.3 billion has an appraisal fee of tens of millions of dollars.

But because Martin does not need to open a certificate through GIA this time, he is completely running his own private order, so the price is relatively cheaper.

When Louis contacted Martin before, he had already told Li Daniu that the cost of Martin's identification was one thousandth.

Seeing that Martin only took a diamond worth more than one million US dollars, which was completely less than one thousandth, Li Daniu said: "You're welcome, although you and Louis are good friends, but the rules that should be there are indispensable, you can take some more." ”

"That's enough. The fee we charge for doing the appraisal is generally one thousandth, and I'm sure Louis has already told you. But because the value of your diamonds is so great, I have to give you a discount. ”

Martin came out to do the appraisal before, at most once, only collected 100,000 US dollars in appraisal fees, this time he came out, only worked for more than an hour, and earned 1 million US dollars, how can he not be satisfied?

Seeing Martin's insistence, Li Daniu was no longer polite, and directly signaled Castro to put away the diamonds on the table, although he has a lot of money now, there are more places to spend money. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know anything about diamonds and didn't know anyone in the jewelry industry, he would never have asked Martin to spend this unjust money.

At this time, it was close to noon, and after Li Daniu invited a sumptuous lunch, he began to ask Castro to contact the company that sells private jets in the United States.

"Do you need to buy a private jet?" Martin felt that today was definitely a lucky day for him, not only to make a lot of money from the diamond identification, but also to reap the benefits if he made a deal in a while. Therefore, Martin is very concerned about his own financier.

"Yes, do you have the resources in this area?" Li Daniu was very curious, you are in the jewelry industry, can you still have something to do with the aircraft manufacturing industry?

"I met a boss who was in trouble with his current business, so he couldn't afford to pick up a private jet that had been custom-made before, and if you needed it, it might be cheaper than buying it directly from the company. ”

"What model?"

"It's the Bombardier 6000, the highest-end private business jet on the market right now, and as for the specifics, I don't know very well. ”

Li Daniu immediately searched for the data of this aircraft and found that this aircraft was completely designed for himself, not only with a range of 11,112 kilometers, but also capable of short-distance take-off and landing, without worrying about Tuvalu's current airport runway is not enough.

As for the rest, as a private business jet that is called the world's top, can it be worse?

"Help me contact him, the price is right, I took over immediately. ”

"When would you like to see it?"

"I'll sell this batch of diamonds in a while!"

How does selling diamonds and buying airplanes feel like an African warlord? Martin felt a sigh in his heart and hurriedly made a phone call.
