Li Daniu was born an ordinary person, and he has lived for more than 20 years, and he has not experienced any so-called major events. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ruthless?
These similar words have nothing to do with Li Da Niu at all, even if they have crossed over, even if they have obtained the system, Li Da Niu still practices the wisdom of mortals.
A frightened night passed, and nothing happened. No one burst into his room and snatched his necklace, let alone kill him in the event that he feared.
Early the next morning, because he hadn't slept all night, Li Daniu was called out by his prime minister, Burns, looking at the four armed policemen guarding outside his room, Li Daniu really couldn't tell whether these people were here to protect him or to spy on him. It's not that Li Daniu is suspicious, but it's indispensable to guard against people.
The hearty breakfast did not make Li Daniu's appetite any better.
"Burns, if you have something to say, just say it. ”
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, we have already started to do what you arranged last night, and now we need to report back to you. Burns sat across from Li Daniu and said, "We have prepared a bill to ban immigration overnight, and as long as you sign the documents and put your stamp on them, it will go into effect." Also, we contacted the two largest auction houses in New Zealand and Austalia last night, and they will arrive in our country by this afternoon to take care of the appraisal of your necklace. Not only that, but we have also contacted several world-renowned news outlets, who have agreed to arrange for their correspondents based in New Zealand or Australia to come and cover and are expected to arrive by this afternoon. ”
After Li Daniu listened, his heart, which had been tense all night, finally let go. Now that he has announced this matter to the world in a high-profile manner, Li Daniu is not afraid of what moths these people under his command will have at all.
As for the possibility that Burns is paralyzing himself? Li Daniu doesn't think that there is any difficulty in snatching things from his own hands, so why bother?
"Well done. Li Daniu pondered for a moment and popped out four words, he really didn't know how to treat his subordinates, and he couldn't understand that those seniors who were also crossing over, obviously the same sling as himself a moment ago, how could they understand so many means in a blink of an eye?
"It is my pleasure to serve you, Your Highness the Prince. Burns stood up and bowed.
"Sit, sit, sit and ......" Although Li Daniu is very happy with this feeling, he is not used to it, and now he really has no strength, and he has to rely on these subordinates, so it is always right to be kind.
After Burns sat down, Li Daniu ignored the breakfast in front of him, ignoring the breakfast in front of him, and asked, "Have you figured out how to hype up this necklace?"
"I have a little idea, but ...... I hope to get permission from His Royal Highness the Prince. Burns said cautiously.
"It's okay, you are the most trusted person in my father's life, and you will be the most trusted person in the future, so if you have anything to say, just say it, don't have any taboos. "Li Daniu plagiarized the lines of the movie I don't know, and I feel very good about myself.
"Thank you for the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will live up to the trust of the old king. Burns said with an excited expression: "I will promote this necklace in the 21st century, the first country on earth that is about to die, and the last treasure." At the same time, when promoting this necklace, I will try my best to show the unsustainable status quo of our country abroad, and declare that the auction proceeds of this necklace will become the last retreat for our people. I want the rich people of the world to know that buying this necklace is not an act of luxury, but an act of charity, an act of charity to save a country. ”
Li Daniu didn't care whether Burns's excited expression was true or not, he had the crossing system in his hand, and he would definitely not lose anything if he followed him, if he had no eyes, he would definitely regret it in the future.
"Very good, Burns, your idea is very good, just do what you say. ”
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's trust, I will definitely sell this necklace for an unprecedented high price. ”
Li Daniu and Burns didn't care about the so-called imminent demise of the country. For Li Daniu, Tuvalu was about to die, and he had no feelings for this country at all. For Mr. Burns, portraying Tuvalu as a country on the verge of death was something he had long been accustomed to.
Before Burns took office, he heard the old king and the former prime minister crying about poverty and claiming that the whole world had murdered Tuvalu all the time, anywhere in the world. After taking office, he also used the rumor that Tuvalu was about to die in exchange for support and help from other countries.
Otherwise, where did you get the $60 million Tuvalu National Fund?
After finishing his business, Li Daniu began to enjoy the breakfast that belonged to a king, and of course did not forget to call Burns to dine together. However, although this breakfast tastes very high, there are seven or eight kinds of tableware alone, but in fact, it makes Li Daniu extremely nostalgic for the various roadside stalls in the Great Heavenly Dynasty that are claimed to be inedible by experts.
This person is cheap. Li Daniu sighed in his heart, it's not that this king doesn't have a rich body, but he was born with the virtue of frugality, and there is no way.
After breakfast, Li Daniu instructed his five big and three rough maids to prepare breakfast for the armed guards standing at his door, and returned to his room in the excited eyes of several guards.
Li Daniu, who was in a relatively relaxed mood, found that it was noon after making up for a sleep. When I opened the window and looked out, I saw the town-level street scene of Tuvalu in the Great Heaven Empire, with no buildings other than a small airport.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
Li Daniu asked people to arrange a simple meal for himself, and he nested in his room and began his own work - copying novels.
became a king, and he had to live on code words, Li Daniu despised himself fiercely in his heart, and quickly began to type on the keyboard.
The Lord of the Rings, compared to its predecessor, The Hobbit, is so famous that it has not only been translated into more than 60 languages, but has also been named the Book of the Century. Li Daniu took a general look, the world's most famous fantasy novel "Gods and Demons", which is not at the same level as "The Lord of the Rings".
The most obvious difference is that "The Lord of the Rings" creates an entire world, while "Gods and Demons" is only a spin-off of existing myths and legends.
What's even more compelling is that when the original author created "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", in order to make the world he created seem more real, he created more than one language, such as elven language, dwarven language, etc., and even fed many people who specialized in these languages.
"Gods and Demons" can be so crazy in this world, but what about the even more "Lord of the Rings"?
Although the novel has its own love for this thing, turnip and greens, but under roughly the same cultural background, Li Daniu believes that it is gold and can definitely emit the same brilliance.
Writing a book is hard work, and it took the original author twelve years to write this novel. But if you copy the public, it's too simple.
Li Daniu was flying his fingers on the keyboard when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the people from the auction house, and the reporters have arrived. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
Li Daniu saved and encrypted the documents that had been typed, put the physical novel into his safe, took the necklace again, and walked out of the room.
"Your Royal Highness, they are waiting in the conference room on the second floor, accompanied by Prime Minister Burns and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The police chief said while standing outside Li Daniu's door.
"Then let's go down too. "Li Daniu felt the benefits of a small country at this time, a little bigger, a plane, the whole country knew, if other countries want to gather the country's high-level together in minutes, it is absolutely impossible.
The two guards in front opened the way, Li Daniu walked in the middle, the police chief followed behind him with his head held high, and there were two guards at the back to press the formation, this treatment is at least at the level of a coal boss.
When he arrived on the second floor, Li Daniu heard a wave of greetings, of course, the greetings were all his subordinates. As for the reporters and the appraisers of the auction house, they all looked a little embarrassed. I want to salute, but the king in front of me is not as strong as a mayor of my own country, so I don't want to salute, and I think that this is someone's territory, and there are more than a dozen armed guards standing inside and outside the door.
However, there are only 11,000 people left in the country, so how many police are there?
Of course, Li Daniu doesn't know what these people are thinking, if he knows, maybe he will make all the citizens part-time policemen in a fit of anger, and 11,000 policemen will scare you to death.
"Sit down. Li Daniu waved his hand and sat down in the main seat of the conference room, and Burns stood beside him with great potential and then began to introduce.
Only then did Li Daniu remember that he had forgotten the procedure for shaking hands? In the past, when watching the news, when state leaders received foreign guests, they would shake hands one by one.
It's embarrassing, but can you blame me? I'm inexperienced. Li Daniu's skin has reached a certain level, so he pretended to be calm and nodded to the person introduced by Burns.
"Okay, everyone has come from afar, so I won't delay everyone's time. Li Daniu took out the necklace from his pocket, ignored the convulsive expressions of those people when they saw his action, and handed the necklace to Burns.
"You can take a good look at it and talk about it after reading it. ”
Li Daniu closed his eyes on the surface, but he was actually regretting his poor performance just now.
After a while, Li Daniu stopped when he heard the discussion, opened his eyes, and saw several people with cameras, taking pictures of the necklace under the watchful eyes of others.
"How?"
An old man with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses who looked very professional stood up and said, "Uh...... His Royal Highness Prince Tarek, with my 50 years of experience in the jewellery industry and my unmistakable professional ethics, I certify that the jewel on this necklace is a very rare Hope Blue diamond. The net weight is about 40 carats, and we need more professional instruments to detect the specific weight. ”
"And what about its value?" Li Daniu looked at the other people who had just been introduced as jewelry experts, and nodded at the same time, knowing that this was the conclusion they had discussed together.
"In the last decade or so, there have been no pure colored diamonds of similar size on the market, so we have no information to refer to, so we can only say our conservative valuation - $120 million. ”
"120 million?" Li Daniu was stunned, this is a bit big different from the 200 million US dollars he imagined.
"Your Royal Highness Prince Tarek, don't worry too much, our conservative valuation has always been much lower than the auction price, and there was a pure diamond that we conservatively valued at $100 million and sold for $180 million at auction. ”
Damn, it's not good to talk well, what kind of panting is playing.
"If I hand it over to you for auction, when will I be able to sell?" Li Daniu remembered that when Burns introduced just now, he said that this old man represented the biggest auction house in the limelight in recent years, and he auctioned a lot of good things.
"Your Royal Highness, it is best to exhibit this rare treasure in a certain number of major countries and regions around the world in order to attract more buyers. According to conservative estimates, it will take half a year to maximize the benefits. ”
Li Daniu was stunned for a moment, half a year?
"Your Royal Highness Prince Tarek, please allow me to say a word. The old man, who represented another auction house, stood up, and after receiving Li Daniu's signal, he said: "Our Supos Auction House is the oldest auction house in the world, our VIP customers, and the most in the world, we are confident that we will sell this necklace of yours for a sky-high price within three months." ”
Huh?
Li Daniu laughed in his heart, of course he knew what it meant for an auction house to be able to auction such a treasure.
"I need your sincerity to decide who to auction this necklace for. ”
