Chapter 152: Pressing You with the Sky (I)

Li Mo found it in a mess, a large piece of dried tofu, a photo, a short line of text, the US presidential couple happily met with the author of "Jurassic Park" on October X, my country's teenager Li Mo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Use the right name, after all, it is a big newspaper, and you can't know that it is not Li Mu, but you still have to use Li Mu.

It's not a big problem, after all, there has been a hidden message from above, and Li Mo's whereabouts must not be investigated.

It can also be seen from the photos that Shan Xiaoting has taken a lot of photos, but the newspaper only chose a side photo, Mrs. Nancy is laughing and touching Li Mo's head, and Li Mo only shows half of his face.

This is one aspect of Li Mole, not only to protect him, for the time being, Li Mo really can't show up in public.

Once exposed, Li Mo will not be at peace, and the Li family will not be at peace, but Li Mo's property will also be exposed immediately with Li Mo's exposure, and when the time comes, he will be forced to make a decision, how to decide? In addition, the laughter is the impact of his Snowpiercer...... You must know that at this time, China has just opened its door, and everything has to be faced, so all kinds of strange things have happened, and Li Mo can be said to have grown a big face for China this time. The above sent Shan Xiaoting to accompany the interview.

But what about Shan Xiaoting's interview record, what about the record of his conversation with the Reagan couple at the White House that day?

Nothing.

It's good that it falls quietly.

Three days later, Hollick delivered the machine and a large pile of books.

The taxi driver was also helping, and asked, "Hao Like, is this your relative's house?"

On the way, Hao Like kept communicating with him in Chinese, and he knew Chinese, and the driver asked.

"Yes, yes," said Hollick. โ€

"Your relative seems to be a learned man. He dared to ignore Li Mo all the time, thinking that this adult was not at home.

"Hahaha, he is indeed a learned man," Hao Lik said, squeezing his eyes at Li Mo.

"I knew at a glance that without knowledge, I could not buy so many books. The driver said happily, then went back to the taxi and waited for Hao Lik. Hao Lick installed the machine for Li Mo, and after installing it, Li Mo turned on the computer and tried it once in Portland, but after a long journey, Li Mo was worried that it would be bumped and broken.

I tried it, and it's normal.

At this time, China also had some computers, such as the computer rooms of some universities and units, and some high-ranking disciples also got computers through other channels, mostly Apple PCs, but the number was very small. It can't be said that it doesn't work, and many later computer talents learned the knowledge from these very few computers.

Seeing that there was no problem, Hao Like asked, "Li, where are these books placed?"

The shelves are full.

"Put it on the ground first, and in a few days I'll ask someone to open up the house next door and move it into a study. Li Mo said, and he made tea for Hao Like again.

Hao Like took a sip of tea and said to the point: "You people from the Modu Translation Publishing House have found me and asked for authorization for the copyright of "Jurassic Park". โ€

In fact, several publishing houses were looking for Li Mo last year, but they couldn't find it.

I couldn't find it, so I had to contact Bantam Books, and then I contacted Hao Like step by step. The main thing is that the profit of book publishing is very low, and it is impossible to go abroad in order to publish a book, so it has dragged on for two months.

"Hmm. โ€

"Li, do you know, they actually said that they would spend 5,000 yuan to buy out the Chinese copyright authorization of your book at one time. โ€

Today, the book has been sold in eleven language licenses, but none of them were sold out all at once, either by the number of copies or by the total number of copies. For example, if you sell it to Japan, how much do you have to pay Li Mo if you distribute 100,000 copies, and how much do you have to pay Li Mo if you release 1 million copies...... The conditions are a bit harsh, but the reason is very simple, because of the struggle between Universal and Paramount, the filming time of the movie has been greatly advanced, and as long as the movie is released, with the spread of the movie, the book is destined to be in short supply in various countries. Is it stupid to sell out at one time? This is not Hao Like's responsibility to Li Mo, but the basic duty of an economic person, and Hao Like is equivalent to Li Mo's economic person!

Five thousand dollars, a few hundred dollars, what can you do?

Li Mo was silent for a long time.

The mention of Chinese copyright is not a pleasant topic.

The best example of this is "One Hundred Years of Solitude", the author of which Marquez visited in Kyoto and the magic capital of China in the 90s, and that trip to China left a very bad impression on him, and he was seen in various bookstores without permission...... It's not a pirated copy, it's books such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" published by various Zheng'er Bajing publishing houses. Then he said to all the people in the cultural circles who came to visit him in Kyoto, "You are all pirates."

Among those present was Qian Zhongshu, who was ashamed of himself. After Mรกrquez left China, he said that for 150 years after my death, China would not be authorized to publish my works. Later, after many efforts, it was not until the 21st century that Mรกrquez authorized the publication of various publishing houses at a price of four or five thousand dollars per book, which is actually the price of a cabbage, what should I do, China's copyright environment is like this, and I haven't even figured out the copyright of the book I wrote Chinese himself, besides, he is a foreigner, or is it from Colombia...... Fishing a little is a little.

This is the money given by the Modu Translation Publishing House for the sake of the face of the local people, otherwise what if you don't give it!

What is a smoke-free industry?

This is a family ugly, what can Li Mo say?

He thought for a moment and said, "Give it to them." โ€

"Lee, it's a buyout. โ€

"Hao Lick, I said in your United States that many of our leaders only have a few dozen yuan a month, and many of you people in the United States do not understand our situation in China, and say that they will starve to death. Yes, this money will starve to death in 10 days in the United States, but we can feed a large family in China. For example, my two essay collections have also distributed more than 100,000 copies, and the manuscript fee is less than 1,000 yuan. Moreover, they have to send translators to slowly translate into Chinese. โ€

"But ......"

"That's it, but they must translate the author as Li Mo, not Li Mu. โ€

"That way, you'll be exposed. โ€

"No, when they have translated it, they will correct it, and it will be published until next year, besides, I will really hide it for the rest of my life, and sooner or later it will be exposed. It's not the reason Li Mo explained, the real reason is that the chief designer let go.

The People's Daily has become Li Mo, why can't books become Li Mo?

"In addition, my Snowpiercer is not authorized to China for the time being. โ€

"Are you really mocking your motherland?"

"No...... The reason is a bit complicated, let's go in a few years. Anyway, if we don't license it, our Chinese books will be sold cheaply and we won't get any income. I just said a few things, Hao Lick, if I stake Microsoft's shares in the bank in the second half of the year, how much money can I lend?"

"Li, Microsoft is about to go public, and you can't lend. Halick said eagerly.

"I have my reasoning, the following words, you must not spread them to the outside world, if the slightest rumor leaks out, the contract between you and me will be terminated immediately. โ€

"Don't worry, Lee. โ€

"We have a book in China called "I Ching", have you ever read it?"

"I haven't read it, but I've heard that it's a relatively advanced book, and by the way, you've used it to answer reporters. โ€

It wasn't an answer that time, but Li Mo deliberately showed off his IQ and used it to fight back against those who doubted him. Li Mo nodded and said: "The efforts I made before, including investing in Microsoft, are still considered to be in the abyss, and they belong to the dormant stage. Next, I'm ready to start flying dragons in the field ......"

"Lee, what investment?"

"What kind of investment, I'll tell you when the time comes...... I ask you, how much loan can I get by pledging my Microsoft shares. โ€

"But ......"

"Hao Lick, no, no doubt, I'm just a mortgage, not a pawn. โ€

"If you value Microsoft, it's probably going to be a little over $100 million right now, but it's a mortgage for more than $7 million, Lee, you know, the bankers are vampires. โ€

"What if I raise the interest slightly?"

"The interest rate increase will not exceed eight million US dollars, but it is not easy to say, if Microsoft passes the review of the securities company and prepares for the roadshow, your shares can be at least 10 million or more low. โ€

Li Mo thought about it, at that time, Microsoft was about to start a roadshow, even if it didn't have a roadshow, it was almost ready.

"That's good, you can inquire for me when you go back, it's not a mortgage now, it may take a few months...... In addition, you have to do two things for me, the first thing is to prepare for me to register three companies in the Cayman Islands and an offshore company in Hong Kong after half a year. โ€

"It's easy. Hao Like still hasn't figured out what Li Mo wants to invest in, but Li Mo will register four offshore companies, one is to avoid taxes, and the other is more or less to avoid people's eyes. In fact, it can also be checked, for example, Li Mo's investment in stocks, the SEC can also find out if it wants to, but even if it is found, they can't casually disclose Li Mo's information, unless Li Mo violates the rules or violates the security of the United States.

"Finally, I should be careful that a small investment company or investment fund, preferably a small investment company in Los Angeles, should not have more than 10 people, and its members must not have a rebellious and autonomous spirit. I'm not saying that the rebellious spirit is bad, but I don't need such people, I need honest and obedient people, because my wisdom is enough, I don't need them to think for me, and the other thing is that there must be a few experienced traders in the company. โ€

"Li, do you want to invest in futures and stocks?"

"It's not just about investing in futures and stocks, you're busy from the second half of the year anyway. โ€

"Lee, it's my honor to serve you," said Halick, with his hands on his chest, bent down, and gave a knightly salute.

"Hao Like, you can't be sloppy, as long as you don't go wrong on either side, not only do you not have to worry about your salary in the future, I will also give you a large bonus, maybe in a few years, you can become a real multimillionaire, more than ten years later, become a billionaire. โ€

Hao Lick did not completely disbelieve it, Microsoft's investment is the best proof, even if some do not believe it, it is half of it, he immediately smiled excitedly: "Li, your interests are my interests, no, your interests are higher than my interests." (To be continued.) )
