041 Harry the Regret
When he opened his eyes, Li Daniu found that the sky had just dawned, and since he had cultivated his internal strength, he had less and less time to sleep, but his spirit was very sufficient. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After cleaning himself up once, Li Daniu went out because he had never gotten up so early before, so the waiter did not prepare breakfast at all.
But Li Daniu doesn't care, it's not anyone's fault. In the eyes of others, it was just a night that passed, and there was no special change. For Li Daniu, three full months have passed, from a scumbag with a combat power of only 2.5 to one of the masters in the Yitian world. Of course, he is a very weak master, basically has no fighting experience, and it is good to have kung fu, but when it comes to the critical time, I don't know if he can make it.
Waving his hand to signal that he didn't need to prepare breakfast for himself, Li Daniu was ready to go out for a stroll and see what was delicious in Tuvalu in the morning.
Beyond the gates of the Royal Palace is a street that is arguably the busiest part of Tuvalu due to its close proximity to the airport and the Royal Palace, as well as a number of other royal and government facilities.
However, in Li Daniu's view, this kind of prosperity is really a bit shabby, not to mention the most famous pedestrian streets in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, even the pedestrian streets in third-tier cities are not as good.
From a practical point of view, Li Daniu is destined to be bound to this country in this life, and to what extent this country has developed, to what extent Li Daniu can enjoy the life he can enjoy. If it is the former Li Daniu, it is naturally a small rich and safe, just like everyone has fantasized about winning the lottery, Li Daniu has never imagined those 100 million yuan jackpot before, can win 5 million, find a small city after paying taxes, and worry about food and clothing for a lifetime is the greatest happiness.
However, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and ambition can always change with different positions, and the more people go up, the more they can't stop. With a million, think about 10 million, with 10 million, think about 100 million.
Today's Li Daniu is already the head of a country, and the funds that can be controlled in his hands are also used in hundreds of millions and US dollars. So he's starting to settle for the status quo.
Why is it that I have 200 million dollars, but I don't dare to buy a luxury car, buy a yacht, because I have a country to be responsible. But what if I want a luxury car and a yacht?
Thinking about it from another angle, Li Daniu can randomly travel through the movie world with a crossing system, and he has such an ability, but his country is so down, how can it be justified?
Moreover, not every film in the movie world is safe, and there are many dangers, all of which cannot be solved by manpower alone. Now Li Daniu relies on the movie world to change reality and make Tuvalu better. Why is it impossible to integrate some of the world's resources through Tuvalu to make yourself safer and more productive in the film world?
The simplest, there are some gains in the movie world, which always need to be digested and precipitated in the real world in order to glow its original color, even more brilliant than it is in the original movie world.
So, no matter what, we need to develop Tuvalu as soon as possible. Li Daniu didn't notice that his mentality had begun to change, from a cautious survival to a bold ambition for the future.
In a restaurant, Li Daniu enjoyed an exotic breakfast for him. The people of Tuvalu, who came and went, all gave a simple salute to Li Daniu, and then went about their own business. In Tuvalu today, it can be said that no one does not know Li Daniu, because his photo is hung at the gate of the royal palace in Tuvalu, and some other government-related institutions, and even some enterprises run by the royal family, his photo is also hung.
There are only 11,000 people in the whole of Tuvalu, and the basic living needs of the people can be said to be related to the government and the royal family.
After breakfast, Li Daniu, who was hesitating whether to continue shopping or go back, met Prime Minister Burns, who came to look for him.
"Your Majesty, have you had breakfast?" Burns didn't wait for Li Daniu's answer, but said a little angrily: "The waiters are becoming more and more disagreeable now, and even His Majesty's breakfast can be delayed. ”
"It's okay, I've already eaten, and besides, my routine is indeed a little irregular, and they haven't gotten used to it yet. Li Da Niu is always loyal to Burns, and he certainly knows that this loyalty is superficial, and most of it may be because Li Da Niu is the king of Tuvalu. If you want to truly gain a person's loyalty, you must let him see the strength that can take him to another level, and the heart that is willing to give him a future without much sorrow.
"You can't buy it outside either. Burns finished his politeness and got down to business.
"Your Majesty, my friend called me in the middle of the night last night about your book, you see, shall we go back and talk?"
Li Daniu looked around, the king and the prime minister were standing on the street talking, although it is not unusual in Tuvalu, it is not common, so there are already people watching. In particular, a few foreign tourists picked up their mobile phones and started taking pictures when they heard that the two people standing here were the king and prime minister of the country.
"Let's go back first. Li Daniu is not used to being seen as a monkey, and he also very much wants to know what kind of moth Burns's unreliable classmate and friend are going to do.
Back in the palace office, Li Daniu asked, "I remember that your classmate is still a friend, and his name is Harry." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, he is my classmate and friend. Burns had long known that the last time Li Daniu went to see Harry, he was a little unhappy, and he had a fight with Harry later. But today he had to mention again his friend who ignored the king in front of the king.
"What's the matter with him? My book is already on the shelves, so I don't need him to do anything more. Li Da Niu was actually not angry at the last meeting, because as long as he thought of that Harry, he missed out on 1.2 billion dollars, or even more, he wanted to laugh.
"Well, yes, he said that the last publishing contract was not very good for you, and he asked you to advance money for printing. During this time, he applied for a new publishing contract, which not only did not require you to advance the printing, but also paid you royalties directly according to 30% of the share. The reason why Burns is willing to open this mouth is because the conditions offered by his friend are really good, and in his mind, the risk of self-funded publishing is too great, and it is very likely that it will not be sold, and it would be much better if there were a publishing house to take this risk.
"Haha......" Li Daniu immediately laughed after hearing it.
"Your Majesty?" Burns was a little confused, even if he was happy, he couldn't laugh so abruptly, was it scary?
"Burns, your classmates are so funny. Li Daniu really couldn't imagine that Harry would come to this trick again after signing the contract.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this?" Burns saw a hint of something wrong from Li Daniu's performance, because Li Daniu's smile was not at all due to the fact that he had received preferential treatment for publishing.
"No, of course not, there is no regret medicine in this world, if you miss it, you miss it. Li Daniu stopped smiling and asked, "Burns, have you read that novel of mine?"
"Well, not yet, you know, your book isn't on the shelves in bookstores in our country. After Burns finished answering, he suddenly reacted and asked, "Your Majesty, our country's library has not updated books for a long time, do you want to purchase a batch of books?"
The king of his own country has published a book, and as the prime minister, he has already been embarrassed if he has not read it, and the whole country does not even have a copy.
"I haven't seen it, so it's no wonder you'd want to be a lobbyist for Harry. Li Daniu asked mysteriously, "Guess, has your friend Harry read this book?"
What is the problem? Burns was a little puzzled, how could Harry not have read the book since he was the editor-in-chief and the book was published from his hands?
"Please also ask His Majesty the King to make it clear. "Burns didn't dare to guess, this shows that there is a pitfall.
"Well, you don't have a sense of humor. Li Daniu shook his head and said, "Harry didn't read this book before it was put on the shelves, and it's even very likely that no one in his company had read this book. As for Harry suddenly calling you and asking you to communicate with me and change the contract, it must have happened after the book was released, and Harry read the book under some circumstances. Do you see what I mean?"
"I ...... Understood, please atone for your sins!" Burns could not understand at this moment that he had been cheated by Harry. I really believe that Harry is out of kindness, how do you know that Harry has eyes and does not know gold and jade, and he has missed the benefits, so he has to find regret medicine.
"Those who don't know are not guilty!" Li Daniu waved his hand and said, "But I hope that you can make a report after researching many things in the future." ”
When he said the latter sentence, Li Daniu used his internal strength, his voice became thicker, his eyes became scorching, and to put it simply, he had a little majesty.
Burns didn't know if it was because of Li Daniu's majesty, or if he had done something wrong, so he bent down and nodded respectfully.
"Reply to him, for your sake, if the royalty is 65%, I can consider it. "Li Da Niu can't really print and sell it himself, even if the writing is good, the channel will affect the sales, and there are some necessary publicity means, how can Li Da Niu have that kung fu, and he is not professional. But letting go of Harry so simply, Li Daniu was a little unwilling. So, quote a high price that is unlikely to be agreed to over there, and let Harry have a few days of pain.
"No problem, Your Majesty, I'll call him back now. ”
After Burns left the room, Li Daniu closed his eyes and stared, he was going to eavesdrop on Burns's phone to see what kind of character Burns was in this matter, whether he really knew nothing as he said.
The offices of the two people are only ten meters apart, and with Li Daniu's current internal strength, it is no different from talking in his ear.
"Burns, you're finally calling, I don't even dare to sleep, how about he agreed?" asked Harry as soon as the call was connected.
"Harry, I think you're my friend, what about you?" Burns asked in a heavy voice.
"Well, of course friends, what's wrong? what's going on?" Harry knew something bad was going on as soon as he heard Burns.
"What's wrong? You still have the face to ask me what's wrong?" Burns said angrily, "I just know that the last time you met was not very pleasant, but the book was finally published, so I didn't say much." Tell me honestly, did you just read the book written by our king in the past two days and then decided to change the contract?"
"Uh, yes. ”
"Then you tell me, did you think of changing the contract when you found that our king wrote well and might be a big seller?"
"Well, Burns, listen to me. Harry cried out on the other end of the phone, exclaiming, "How did I know that your majesty the king could write such a wonderful book? The money he printed at his own expense, I can return it now. ”
"Ask you to take a look?" Burns raised his voice again: "I regarded you as a friend, and introduced our King Majesty to you to publish a book, and you made a decision without taking the initiative to read the manuscript, do you really regard me as a friend?"
"Burns, if he doesn't want to change his contract, then I'm dead. You know, yesterday when my wife asked me if I could get the author of the book to sign it, I was confused. When I read that book, my bowels were light. ”
"How did your wife know about that book?" interrupted Burns.
"Uh...... I bought a new bookshelf, so I took home the model book that should have been given to the author......"
"You've had enough!"
"Burns, you know, I've been searching the internet just now, and I've had two well-known book reviewers who have made very positive recommendations about that book, and both of them are five-star recommendations, which is the highest level of recommendation. You have to trust me, that book definitely has a chance to hit this year's bestseller list. If my boss found out that I had signed a contract like that, I would be dead. Harry was still pleading.
"Alas!" Burns sighed and said, "65 percent of the shares, you can do it yourself." ”
Before Harry could react, Burns hung up.
On the other side, Li Daniu, who had finished eavesdropping, was also very happy, not only because Burns really didn't know, but also because Harry begged for mercy.
Li Daniu sighed: "There is also internal strength, haha......"
