Chapter 10: Writing a Story
After finishing the investment plan with Pete, Li Mingwen waited here for Pock to hang out together. The two went to Candlestick Field in San Francisco, where they watched a baseball game, the home of the Giants (1960-1999), and today it was the Giants' game against the Dodgers in Brooklyn, New York. Polk is a fan of the Giants, and Lee Mingwen prefers basketball games, but there is no game today, and in the United States Baseball League, it is the second most influential of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States. The four major professional sports leagues in the United States are ranked by impact: National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball League (NBA), and National Hockey League (NHL). Originally, Li Mingwen often accompanied Poke to watch baseball games, because Li Mingwen watched the game with appreciation no matter what game, and did not particularly pursue which team or which star.
This year's Giants went all the way to 103 wins. But in today's game, the two teams are inseparable, the score is to chase me, the Giants want to win is still particularly difficult, now it depends on who of the two teams wins in the arrangement. Because the Warriors in the same district rushed to catch up after the All-Star break, the Warriors had 103 wins by the end of the season, and only the game against the Rocky Mountain was left. This game is about whether or not they can compete for the final Western Conference championship. Because the Rocky Mountain team has performed particularly poorly in recent years, there is no suspense for the Warriors to win the game. If the Giants win this game, they will be eligible to compete for the Western Conference championship, and then it will be the city-to-city competition that everyone is looking forward to, and looking at the current situation, the Giants and the Warriors will be a little difficult to stage the same-city derby. The game was coming to an end, and the fans on both sides were cheering for their respective teams, and the scene was crazy. In today's game, both teams played match points for the final. In the end, the Giants lost to arch-rivals Dodgers in a crucial final game. There is no suspense for the rest of the championships, and they are already in the pocket of the warriors. Sure enough, there was no suspense in the subsequent game between the Warriors and the Rocky Mountains, and the Warriors defeated the Rocky Mountains team to win the Western Conference championship.
After Li Mingwen and Polk watched the baseball game, because the Giants lost the game, Polk has been cursing since the game, Li Mingwen heard that his ears were buzzing, no way, Li Mingwen finally bought an ice cream at the penny order and stuffed it directly into Polke's mouth before blocking his mouth. Then Poke took Li Mingwen straight to the game hall on the grounds that he was in a bad mood, and finally the two played until five o'clock before they went home.
In 1996, everyone's stunned efforts passed unconsciously, and time jumped to 1997, which will be a stormy era. During this period of time, Pitt will report on Li Mingwen's investment matters every once in a while, and then ask about some follow-up matters, after Li Mingwen facilitates Pitt to communicate, the follow-up things will not be taken care of, and now most of the capital giants are preparing to eat a financial feast, Li Mingwen just explained that Pete can't expose himself, and the rest, as an investment manager of Goldman Sachs Bank, still has a vision and sense of smell about finance. In a few days, Li Mingwen will go to school, and Li Mingwen is ready to skip a grade after he goes to school this semester. As a top student in my previous life, it was too much time to stay in middle school, just like Zhang Ailing said in my previous life that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible.
During this period of time, when Li Mingwen looked up literature on the Internet, he found that there were no famous works at the same time in his previous life and in the past, which made Li Mingwen very excited, after all, there are too many resources he can learn from, Li Mingwen has been thinking about what to start with recently, knowing that for a while, Zheng Xiuyan suddenly began to like storybooks, because she was still young, many English words have not been recognized, so she pestered Li Mingwen to read to her, Li Mingwen read to Zheng Xiuyan for a few days, and felt that the content of these stories was simple and the plot was monotonous, so she thought about buying it"Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" to explain, but I found it in the bookstore, and I checked a lot of information, but even Andersen didn't write "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", so Li Mingwen began to modify some sentences and storylines of the original "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and wrote them. After hearing this, the two sisters Zheng Xiuyan and Zheng Xiujing became Li Mingwen's followers, and they never forgot Snow White and so on, and even Zheng's father and Zheng's mother became loyal listeners.
Today, the weather is windy and sunny, which is suitable for going out. Li Mingwen is going to go to his godmother, Ms. Dunica, today to help him apply for the copyright of his own stories and then submit them to the publishing house for publication, I believe that no publishing house can turn away these stories, after all, they have been tested by the world in the previous life.
Dunica looked at the story brought by Li Mingwen, the content of the story is novel and interesting for people in this world, especially for children, which can accompany children throughout their childhood. Dunica read a story and became obsessed, out of control, after reading the story brought by Li Mingwen, he was still unsatisfied, so he overbearingly instructed Li Mingwen to show her after each story was written, and then other Dunica would help him, the only thing Li Mingwen could do was to continue his writing career.
After reading the story, Dunica found that this was a huge business opportunity, and for the sake of her only godson, Dunica figured out how to expand the interests of her godson. After a while, after thinking of a way, Dunica asked Li Mingwen how much he had written later, whether he would go with him to handle and follow up things, but the words revealed that he asked Li Mingwen to go back and write these stories quickly and show them to her, especially the eyes that were eager for stories, if Li Mingwen didn't agree, I believe that Dunica would definitely hang Li Mingwen and beat him. Li Mingwen shook his body tremblingly, and immediately said that he was going back to write the story. After hearing this, Dunica's eyes immediately changed to the eyes of your acquaintance, and Li Mingwen secretly wiped his cold sweat. He immediately said goodbye and left, otherwise Dunica would let him know why the flowers were so red. Because Dunica is Li Mingwen's godmother, after the death of Li Mingwen's parents, it is convenient for Li Mingwen's uncle to become his guardian together, and Du Nika will help him with the follow-up things, after all, these things are trivial to a famous lawyer, not to mention that this is his own godson, Dunica will definitely not treat Li Mingwen badly.
After Lee Mingwen left, Dunica first went to McGraw Hill to discuss publishing. This is a veteran company with a history of more than 100 years, with an annual production volume of more than 3,000 books, and is a major giant in the American publishing industry. It is composed of a number of publishing group companies, which have influence in the global publishing industry, and if these fairy tales of Li Mingwen can be published in this publishing house, they will definitely gain huge profits and fame, not to mention that this is written by a fifteen-year-old teenage genius, which will also be a good gimmick. Dunica is not afraid of McGraw Hill's rejection, such an unprecedented fairy tale, this is a fairy tale that can accompany the child's entire childhood, the benefits obtained are immeasurable, and the ability of people who can work at McGraw Hill is absolutely undoubted. Now along the way, Dunica is thinking about how to maximize Li Mingwen's interests.
