This chapter is still an update to the first "feast" of the book!

(the following text)

…………

The New York auction that Martha mentioned took place on Sunday. Link had only seen the promotional images, not seen them in person. However, in the promotional brochure of the auction, there are indeed many beautiful works of art, and he is still interested in them. If the price is right, he can buy it back and put it in his castle.

But when you buy art, you have to look at the real thing.

He was going to check it out a day earlier. After the auction, I directly talked to the chairman of Meiya Media about the equity.

He asked Jessica if she wanted to go.

Jessica hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better stay home!" She was now more than five months pregnant, and the twins made her belly look bigger. And, "Hannah would be unhappy at home alone." ”

Jessica doesn't go. Neil, however, was going to go with him. However, he is not going to the auction, but is going to talk to Snapton about cooperation.

This time, Tiger flew the plane, and Link was in the seat of the cabin reading the script that Jonathan sent a few days ago. At the same time, there was also a copy. Neil was watching.

Neil may have read all kinds of materials all year round, and his brain has a stronger ability to analyze words. He reads books much faster than Link. Link's script has less content than his. It turns out that Link hasn't finished reading it yet, and he's already closed.

He commented: "This is a book worth investing in. ”

"You're done?" Link said, closing the script. "It's a really good story. There are tense suspense, wonderful fighting scenes, and charming plots. ”

"It's true, after reading it, single people may want to find a companion because of this. The author's pen power is quite outstanding. Neil smiled and said. Such a story appeals to readers between fourteen and thirty-eight, and perhaps some older readers will also be interested. ”

Hearing his analysis so sure, Link couldn't help but look up at him and say, "You also have research on the literary market?"

"I have studied the human heart. Neil said without any modesty. "Although I came out to work after graduating from university, I now have a double master's degree in economics and psychology. And I took the literature elective in college, and my grade was A++. ”

Usually the best grade will only be A, but if the teacher feels that A cannot express the student's grade, occasionally the teacher will add a + sign to the grade. However, this grade will still be marked as an A.

And Neil actually got two +, which shows how much his teacher appreciates his assessment.

Link smiled and said, "Well, when you retire, I might be able to ask you to write an autobiography for me." ”

"I'll write my own first. ”

Neil smiled and added, "Moreover, if your management team hadn't had too many things, they would have already asked someone for you to write your autobiography." ”

He was not exaggerating.

Link is only twenty-six years old now, but Americans don't choose to watch or not because of the age of the autobiographical protagonist.

For Americans, as long as the protagonist of the autobiography is of interest to them, they will buy it.

Link has a lot to look at. For example, his experience as a gambling god, his experience in doing business, his experience fighting with certain departments, and his private life. There are definitely a lot of people who want to know about those things.

Neil even thinks that if Link has an autobiography, as long as it is properly promoted, it can directly reach the top of the bestseller list in North America.

Link, of course, didn't think about publishing an autobiography right now. As for whether he can go out in the future, it depends on his mood.

He just said that: "Some management teams want to have autobiographies for their clients, one for publicity, and the other for making money. I don't lack either now. ”

Neil had to admit it. Link is not short of money, not short of fame. His news is often reported in the media, but Link has hardly ever been interviewed by the media. It is a bit difficult for such a person to let him self-deserve and blow up his private affairs.

But then he heard Link say, "If I'm so poor that I don't have anything to eat, maybe I'll consider writing a book." ”

"At that time, I can help you write. I also need to earn some money to get by. ”

Link couldn't help but laugh, he had no idea that Neil would be joking.

After laughing, he said with a smile, "I don't think we're going to have that day." Neil seems to be joking, but he is not saying that the interests of the two men are closely linked. If Link is too poor to open the pot, he certainly won't be better.

Neil smiled and said, "I'll do my best not to let that day happen." ”

He patted his hand lightly again and said, "This is the story you prepared for Fox Werewolf Park?"

Link nodded and said, "This is the story that Hollywood Jonathan Nolan wrote in collaboration with one of his female authors." Do you think there will be a market if it is made into a movie?"

"If you invest big enough. Neil recalled the scene in the story and said. "There seems to be a lot of shot that requires special effects to be filmed. And some scenes need to be very elaborate to please fans. ”

Link agrees, saying, "You're right. The depiction of some scenes in the story is too fascinating. If you don't shoot well, it will be a disadvantage. ”

He was going to publish it first, and at the same time build a theme park according to the story. Finally, when the time comes, make a movie. If the shooting is not good, fans who have seen it will scold. With a bad reputation, he may be self-defeating. Of course, his park won't benefit from it.

He thought for a moment and said, "I now wonder if $300 million is enough to shoot this script." ”

"The cost of $300 million?" Neil was a little surprised. "I'm worried about whether you'll be able to recoup your costs. ”

Some of the films are really high at the global box office. But in fact, the overseas box office share that the producer can get will not be very high. Unless it's your own theatrical screening.

Link smiled and said, "Maybe I'll be lucky." ”

They talked about scripts and other things on the plane, but not about work.

Shortly before noon, their plane landed at a private airport in New York.

Snapton was already waiting there. Not only did she drive a car of her own, but she also helped Link rent three cars for him and his bodyguards.

The cars were rented, even though they were rented by Snapton, but Tiger still had to check them carefully.

Link smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Snapton!"

Snapton laughed and said, "Well, I suddenly don't want you to know, I'm actually mainly here to pick up Neil's sullen ice cube, and you're just by the way." ”

Link laughed and said, "Sullen ice cubes, what an accurate description!"

"Hi, Neil. Long time no see. "They used to work together on the case of Springs. "I'm very interested in your proposal, maybe we should talk about it in detail. ”

"That's what I'm here for. Neil didn't change the joke between the two of them in the slightest, and he was still cold. "Here, though?"

Snapton grinned, "Of course not, you can go to your hotel room or you can go to Thomas." ”

"Go to the hotel today. Maybe we will have some differences, but let's talk about our thoughts today, and we'll continue tomorrow. ”

Snapton nodded, and then said to Link, "What are your plans, boss?"

"In the afternoon I will go to the art center. "He's going to come to the auction where the lots are on display, and he needs to see the real thing. "Neil's proposal, I agree. But how to do it, I don't plan to intervene. I hope he can convince you that you can be the main one on this project. ”

He was secretly putting forward his thoughts.

Snapton shrugged and said, "If he can convince me." I can act as his deputy. ”

Link just smiled and said, "I'm sure he can! He said and went to get in the car.

After Link's car drove away, Snapton had to say to Neil, "Let's go too." ”

Sna informed Dorlink that he had the highest membership at the Hilton New York, where he usually stayed. So she's not afraid she'll lose it.

Link did stay at the Hilton Hotel again. HE BOOK-IN HIMSELF FIRST, AND HE DIDN'T WAIT FOR NEIL. However, he specifically explained to the hotel manager.

Neil also lives in the Presidential Suite. The hotel manager certainly doesn't slack off. Again. Neil was also a powerful figure in New York back then. It went bankrupt before, and it was re-emerging in less than half a year. Who would dare to underestimate such a person.

Of course, the hotel manager was even more envious of Neil's good fortune to get Link to take the initiative to seek cooperation. Link is now considered the most profitable man in the world.

Link may have fewer than 20,000 employees, but some estimate that he earns at least $20 billion a year. In that case, his men would earn him two million dollars a year. But most of Link's money is actually earned by himself.

That's the most amazing thing about Link.

If you can cooperate with such a person, you can't make people jealous!

Link didn't bother Neil and Snapton about the "negotiations" either. After he had lunch by himself, he left a bodyguard to look around the house with him, so that no one would put things in the room that he shouldn't have placed.

After that, he took the other bodyguards to the International Art Center. He was still very interested in the artworks. In particular, some porcelain and pottery suitable for the castle to be placed. Of course, some goldsmiths may also be able to be placed in some of the rooms that display different styles.

Those things are antiques and definitely tend to appreciate in value. Not only can there be room for appreciation, but also improve his "artistic literacy".

He went to the art center and bought a ticket to get in.

In one showroom. The lighting inside is softer, and the light is focused on the exhibits.

The soft light hits the exhibits directly on top of them, so that they can shine a little bit of their former brilliance. All exhibits have separate booths where visitors can get up close, but the exhibits are covered in bulletproof glass. Visitors cannot touch them with their hands.
