Chapter 71 Where is my protagonist's halo?!
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
“Happy cooperation!”
At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the newspaper's conference room, Arthur smiled and shook hands with Nigel Mashart of DuLian TV. Under the witness of his respective lawyers, he had a happy conversation with each other after exchanging the contract.
On the premise that both parties intend to promote cooperation, Arthur made concessions to the copyright of the sequel, and Du Li TV also made compromises on the film sharing, if the movie really wants to make a movie in the future.
Arthur reached out to take the £750,000 check handed to him by Nigel Mashat. Although there was still a faint smile on his face, he was still a little excited.
This is the biggest amount of money he earned with his own abilities after coming to this world, and it is of great significance.
Reserved, Arthur remained reserved and handed the check directly to Paul, the housekeeper standing behind him. "I will write the follow-up plot as soon as possible and will never delay your script adaptation."
"Thank you, if possible, our screenwriter will come to visit you and discuss the adaptation of the plot with you. We will respect the original work as much as possible. You can rest assured." Nigel Mashat made a promise with a smile. It was not the first time he had dealt with the writers. Naturally, he knew what these writers were most worried about and disliked.
"I will look forward to your visit." Although Arthur didn't care about how the other party adapted it, there was no need to refuse the other party's kindness.
"That's it, let's say goodbye first."
"goodbye."
Arthur smiled and shook hands with the other party again to say goodbye. After sending the other party away, the smile on Arthur's face became brighter.
"At this time, we should have a drink to celebrate!" Jerry Fuller, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, suggested with a smile.
"Haha, this is your territory. Take out the good wine you have collected!" Tom joked.
"No problem, dewar’s imperial whiskey."
"Haha, I didn't expect that you really hid a good wine in the office, so you must try it." Lawyer James also cheered with a smile.
"Then go to his office and try his good wine." Arthur smiled happily.
Emperor is a high-end mixed scotch whisky with a strong malt flavor and a more mellow and smooth taste, making it more peaceful and smooth. In terms of quality, dewar’s can really be said to be the first choice for drinking whisky.
"bite"
"Congratulations, boss." x3
"Thank you." Faced with the congratulations from the three subordinates, Arthur smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to signal, and then carried the glass to drink together.
"ah"
“What a great wine.”
“It’s really good…”
"Of course, this is a good wine I have treasured for three years. Paul, don't you really come to some?" Jerry picked up the bottle and showed off his brilliance. While pouring it on everyone, he looked at Paul, the housekeeper next to him and invited him again.
"Thank you, no need, I still have to drive." Paul smiled calmly and declined again.
"Okay, you missed a chance to taste the classics." Jerry put on the bottle cap and teased with a smile, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.
After drinking two drinks, Arthur smiled and shook his head and refused Jerry's pouring wine again. After putting down the glass, he looked at lawyer James and asked, "Is there any new progress on Robert?"
"No, it's similar to the last report. The loan amount and interest rates issued by the several banks I found were not ideal. The key is that the overall economic environment makes the banks very cautious and conservative. The banks expressed concerns and doubts about their repayment capabilities." James frowned slightly and shook his head to report.
Arthur nodded, pondered and thought for a while to the silent Jerry and Tom, "Jerry, report on the high price of the copyright of the novel "Boling Manor" novel. At the same time, it was announced that the novel will soon be collected and published."
"Okay, I'll be in the newspaper tomorrow."
"Tom, I will finish the Bolin Manor as soon as possible and leave the publication to you."
"No problem, boss."
"Since they are worried about my ability to repay, I will give them a reason to rest assured. After the negotiations with the people from Random House, Jerry, you can also appropriately release some news about me being the author of "Fifty Shadows of Gray".
I believe that after these news comes out, those banks will no longer be so difficult to speak!" Arthur also knew that although his own land is enough, it is not a high-value land that can develop real estate. It is probably not that easy to lend money close to the appraised value. However, if you believe that once your fame becomes popular and become a hot writer, banks will change their attitude.
To be honest, if he speculates about the matter and value of auctioning antiques by himself, he believes that banks can let go of their worries. However, auctioning antiques will eventually make people question the financial status of the Bolin family.
After arranging these things, Arthur and the butler Paul rushed to exchange the cash check before the bank closed, transferred it into Arthur's personal account. The moment he walked out of the bank, Arthur felt relieved and finally felt a little confident. Although he was less than a million, he had a hard time, which was only tens of thousands of pounds in his previous state of poverty, which was worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Have money in your hands, don’t panic!
Perhaps this is also the obsession of a Chinese dynasty. Arthur may not be able to adapt to the days when spending money in the future in the West and savings are zero. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to even make some money to dig three feet of the ground.
Speaking of digging three feet into the ground, the Count who drove back to Bolin Manor for more than 30 minutes almost unstoppable, carried the metal detector and began to "scan" around the castle inch by inch.
Not to mention, after an hour, the Earl really found 3 pounds and 75p...
Looking at a handful of coins in his hand, Arthur couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, while Paul, the housekeeper who had been following him, still had a calm and kind smile, but the gaze flashed in his eyes was a smile.
"Earl, you'd better have some afternoon tea first to take a break. This treasure hunting may be too time-consuming and labor-intensive." The butler Paul looked at the Count who looked unhappy and depressed, and had to speak out to dissuade him.
"Ahem... OK." Actually, Arthur also knew that such a blind treasure hunt was nonsense, but wasn't he hoped for his protagonist's halo? Soul-piercing things like lack of luck fell on him. The absolute protagonist template. As the protagonist, shouldn't it be a diamond?
Well, after trials, it seems that he is thinking too much...
