Chapter Ninety-Nine: Aliens (Part II)

Johnson put down the newspaper and almost danced with joy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Mo could understand his feelings, although he knew that this book would be popular, but before he came to the United States, Bantam Books must have spent a lot of money to promote this book.

The state is a people's cooking system, and so is the company, some people agree, and some people oppose it.

The better he performs, the more popular he will be with this book, Johnson is mostly on the side of support, of course he will be very happy to see this result, and in addition, the more popular the book, the more profit it will bring to bantams. In addition, books are the same as industrial products, and the more they are sold, the smaller the cost will be shared, and the more money will be made.

As a result, Li Mo had expected it a long time ago, he opened the newspaper, and the first newspaper was "HSD Postal Service", which was probably written by the reporter who interviewed him yesterday:

When I opened the Jurassic Park novel, I didn't put it down, and I read it almost in one sitting.

Imagine the brutal Tyrannosaurus rex, the highly venomous Dilophosaurus, the small Shixiujawed Dragon, the huge Brontosaurus, and the collective Velociraptor suddenly appearing in front of the world, just this whimsical idea is full of excitement. The author has laid down a lot of popular science knowledge, so that we almost have to believe that these dinosaurs will appear in front of us tomorrow.

But what excites me is that behind this compelling storyline and the vivid and visual text of the movie, there is a deep idea behind it, as the author writes in a humorous and self-deprecating tone, that humans have put people on this planet to do something, but we seem to be doing a pretty good job. It's hard to say in the future, it's possible to continue to do well, or it's possible to mess up. Technology is not guilty, just like the kitchen knife in our hands, it can be used to save people and it can be used to kill people. If technology is used well, it can be used for the benefit of mankind, and if it is not used well, it will become a nuclear bomb shadow hanging over our heads.

Behind this interesting story, there is a cold cruelty. Most of the human beings in this book play the opposite role, Hammond who is blinded by money and arrogance, Wu the arrogant scientist, and Rydry who is carried away by profit......

On the contrary, dinosaurs have become synonymous with elegance, self-discipline and strong vitality in the book, and when the situation is temporarily stable at the end, will anyone feel relieved that the battle has finally been won? In fact, the story is far from over, just like the chaos theory deduces, many things we can't find the law and can't grasp the direction, and what will happen to a long-lost species after it is created is something that none of us humans can guess or imagine, so please underestimate the ability of human beings and overestimate the ability of life at any time.

All of this made me feel the shame of greed, the harm caused by the blindness and arrogance of many people.

I was so shocked by this book that I wondered for a moment about the author's age and his backward country.

However, all this did not have the same impact on me as much as the author himself.

When the ten-year-old author calmly unraveled what I thought was a difficult math problem, I began to doubt my eyes.

The performance of the little author is not over, his calmness, his humor, his erudition, his elegance...... I just want to say to Spielberg, you don't have to make "E.T" for your next movie, because the living aliens have appeared in front of the world's eyes!

Li Mo shuddered.

Am I overdoing it?

He opened another newspaper with a large headline: "Please Take My Knees."

There is no doubt about how much this book has shocked people, but I would like to say that please take my knees.

Yesterday the author answered questions from many journalists in Manhattan, and there was a paragraph that many of us did not understand, and he said it in Chinese.

I deliberately took the video and consulted the relevant Chinese professors, and they told me that the sentence written by the Chinese was from one of the most difficult books in ancient China, and the author's answer made them speechless for a long time.

Then they told me that through the author's short sentences, we can see the author's understanding of this most difficult book, which can also be said to be the most accurate interpretation so far, not only interpreting the meaning of that sentence, but also thinking deeply about philosophy, human nature, and history.

I just want to ask the author, isn't this what a university professor does?

Why did you do it for them?

This is the source of the sentence translated in English by several professors, as well as the author's answer.

In their words, because it involves famous ancient Chinese classics, no matter how good English is, it can't be expressed, but even so, this English translation also made me kneel down for life......

The following is the original text of the translation and Li Mo's answer, Li Mo looked at it carefully, even several Chinese professors, did not translate accurately, but it was roughly translated, and there was also an introduction to the historical background of Confucius.

This report is good, and it has taught many old Americans a lesson in Chinese culture.

Li Mo opened the third newspaper again, which was a tabloid with a few lines written on it:

Because of the poverty of the motherland, the little author did not want the reporter to use this to dampen his self-esteem, so he deliberately made a joke, saying that his motherland was his mother, and he would not give up. The United States is his longing wife, beautiful and rich. Beautiful girls, would you like to marry this mysterious and talented Oriental boy?

And use bold words to highlight "prettygirls", a lot of pictures below, when the beautiful little girl kissed Li Mo's face, Li Mo still enjoyed it very much, if it was a dinosaur sister to kiss, Li Mo did not refuse, and he couldn't avoid frowning.

Tabloid is it, that's it.

Li Mo hastily flipped through a few more newspapers, and not all of them said good things. For example, a newspaper said that if you don't look at Li Mo's cleverness, in China's backward system and environment, sooner or later he will be out of the limelight.

There is also a newspaper that disgustingly misinterprets Li Mo's meaning, Li Mo said that China is her mother and will not abandon her, and they say that this is Li Mo's deliberate mockery of the Chinese who came to the United States in disguise.

Li Mo didn't care too much, as a celebrity, there is powder and black, and he has been involved in two countries.

This is now, and in another ten years, I am afraid that it will be even more misinterpreted.

Li Mo put down the newspaper and had to sleep for a while.

Johnson and George were still flipping through the newspapers with relish.

Philadelphia is so close that the plane will arrive in a moment.

After getting off the plane, Li Mo started an intense propaganda campaign again.

Immediately after that, fly to Atlanta.

It's a bit far to Atlanta, but luckily Bantam Books has always booked a business class that allows you to half-fold your chair and sleep for a while.

When I arrived in Atlanta, there were more reporters.

After that, it flew to Los Angeles in the west. When he arrived in Los Angeles, Wang Yiyi brought an American and introduced: "Li Mo, he is a barrister Fidel Hollick from the famous Los Angeles law firm O'Melveny & Myers, who has won many lawsuits for his clients, especially in economic business. ”

"Hello Halick. ”

"Hello Li, do you want to ask me to be your economist?"

"Homo economicus?no, I would like to ask you to be my legal counsel, not the homo economicus. ”

As a best-selling author, there are generally economists, and a good economist can not only earn more rights and interests for customers, but also open up more sources of income. Of course, when you meet a bad economist, it must be sad, especially the baby's baby economist.

This is not what Li Mo is considering, if there is an economic person, he will get a word, share! Will Li Mo put up with a person sharing his income in the future?

"Legal counsel?"

"Do you know Chinese?"

"Yes, there is a Chinese next door to my house, and I learned a little from him since I was a child. Halick said in broken Chinese.

No matter how lame it is, at least he can do a simple communication, Li Mo expressed his satisfaction, took out a document and said: "This is the terms that I have drawn up in Atlanta, with the assistance of a law firm, and if you are willing to accept the above conditions, we will sign this contract." Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it. ”

There are many clauses, and the more perfect the law, the more cumbersome it will be to get involved in contracts and clauses. Generally speaking, once he becomes Li Mo's legal counsel, he must be responsible for the legal consultation of all Li Mo's business, and at critical times, he must also go into battle shirtless to fight lawsuits, help Li Mo conduct various business negotiations, and supervise the income of Li Mo's various businesses in the United States or other places.

In the United States, it is not a scandal to say that reasonable tax avoidance is not a scandal.

and all others, anyway, as long as Hao Like signs this contract, it will be Li Mo's hard work from now on, and he will do everything.

At the same time, there is a more stringent payment, if Li Mo thinks that he is incapable, or has not done a good job for Li Mo, Li Mo can unconditionally dismiss him without paying any liquidated damages.

But Hollick looked at the treaty, and his eyes lit up.

There are many things to do, the conditions are more demanding, but the salary is high.

The first three years are a probationary period, the annual salary of the first year is 100,000, the second year is 200,000, and the third year is 300,000. At that time, the annual salary will be raised to 500,000 yuan, and the annual salary will be increased by 50,000 US dollars a year until the annual salary of 1 million yuan, but after the official employment, Hao Lick must resign from all his positions and concentrate on serving Li Mo.

Don't think that the salary of lawyers in the United States is high, the law in the United States is perfect, and there are many places where lawyers are needed, so there are many lawyers. Lawyers under five years old often earn less than a blue-collar worker's annual income, nine adults earn less than $30,000, five to 10 years, generally between $20,000 and $40,000, and more than 10 years generally between $30,000 and $50,000. Even in 2010, lawyers with 10-19 years of experience typically earned between $80,000 and $140,000 a year. Incomes have risen, but so have prices......

Except for those really famous barristers, the income is not easy to say, even if it is a real barrister, I believe that the lawyer Hao Like invited by Wang Translation can be regarded as a "barrister" to some extent, but it will definitely not reach the "big" that Li Default thinks, and at that point, Wang Translation will not be able to invite him.

Hollick may have some fame, but his current annual income will not exceed $100,000. Even if the "big" reaches the "big" in Li Mo's heart, few people can reach an annual income of 500,000 US dollars, let alone increase it year by year. When Li Mo drafted this contract at a law firm in Atlanta, many lawyers were red-eyed, but Li Mo rejected them one by one.

His future investment focus is on California, which is too far away.

"I agree, I agree. After reading it, Hao Like shouted loudly in broken Chinese. As for what income Li Mo used to pay for his high annual salary, he also thought about it, after receiving Wang Yi's request yesterday, he deliberately inquired, and also estimated in his heart that the income that these three books might bring to Li Mo was not less than 10 million US dollars, but it was still a little reluctant to pay him this high annual salary.

Whatever, if you have money, I'll work for you, if you don't have money, let's break up immediately!

That's what he's thinking right now...... And then it really worked.

There is a lot of money, but the money is really hot.

Li Mo didn't say anything, the two of them signed, Li Mo held Hao Like's hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation, let's prepare to work together for the first time." ”

"That's," said Hallick, patting his chest, knowing what Mr. Limer's cooperation meant.
