Marvel’s Princess Chapter 183: The big tree attracts the wind
One day later, Bella came to read Heather's masterpiece and found that she had written a title...
Heather seemed very tired. She placed a pair of murder weapons on the table and held her chin in her hands, thinking.
The mustachioed Max on the side is very energetic in helping his girlfriend. Writing about farm topics, you must know something about farms, right? He dismantled the tractor in the warehouse, but in the end he found that he was completely incapable of putting the thing back together.
Bella gave some instructions: "Put these away and pack them into boxes. I can ask Tony Stark to help us repair the tractor."
Max was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Are you stupid? Of course it's a lie! How can Stark have such free time?"
After a while of complaining, Bella picked up the title written by Heather and was a little speechless.
Using this kind of title now seems a bit ahead of its time. Maybe it will be easier to write in twenty years, right? ......
"Shall I sell you the manor and the land? What do you think?"
Bella was speechless about the good idea that Heather had been thinking about for a whole night: "Is it useless for me to have these? My family is all in Los Angeles and I am studying at Stanford. Now you are selling me a house in Texas. House?..."
Heather sighed heavily, how could she not understand these truths, but she had no other choice.
Bella also thought about it for her, and then came up with an idea: "You can mortgage the land and properties to the bank in exchange for loans, and then look for investment projects that interest you."
Having been subjected to all kinds of soft violence by her adoptive father and mother since childhood, Heather had a rough childhood and youth. When she grew up, Heather was very un-American, that is, she didn't like to owe other people money.
With such an explosive figure, it is too easy to make money, but she has always adhered to the bottom line, just to prove herself.
Now he owes Bella $80,000. After all, he is a friend, so this is easy to handle.
If she owes money to the bank and the investment fails, she will be back to her previous state of poverty.
Bella's words made Heather think about it for a long time, and until the group returned to San Francisco, she still had not made up her mind.
The house won't be damaged if it is left there. The three thousand acres of land will not be cultivated for now. You won't make much money from farming anyway.
He had a large piece of seemingly useless property under his name, and at the same time he was burdened with a total debt of one hundred thousand dollars from Bella and the second uncle. A trip to Texas made Heather's life begin to change. Be colorful.
On weekends, she would stay at the second uncle's house for two days. Hobbes Sawyer had no children, and he gradually regarded her as his own daughter.
......
Bella's second book, the first volume of The Hunger Games, is officially published.
The royalties given by Random House are 10%, and the previous six-month settlement when selling The Da Vinci Code was changed to a three-month settlement.
There is quite a lot of discussion about The Hunger Games.
Positive views believe that her new book has a sense of science and technology, is very warning, and also highlights the status of the heroine. The heroine's struggle and wisdom between love, family, life and death are impressive. This is very feminist!
The opposite view is that this book is too youthful and seems to be trying to please young readers.
The whole book is downgraded by more than one level from The Da Vinci Code. In order to highlight the heroine’s personal image, several male characters are reduced to being like trash. There are also too many advertisements embedded in the book. What? It takes a lot of space to describe the flaming sports car, long dress, earrings, and rings. Are you trying to sell something?
That’s right! I'm just selling stuff! How much money can I make by writing a book?
Bella is disdainful of all kinds of negative comments. The idea of the Flame Sports Car was agreed between her and Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg, who was originally going to stay in seclusion for two years and concentrate on developing new cars, will cooperate with her and launch it. A brand new sports car that has not appeared in the original time and space, the name of the car is Koenigsegg Flame.
9 units are expected to be sold worldwide.
The selling price this time is not 690,000 euros. Bella directly added one to the original selling price, making it 1.69 million euros! Like to buy or not.
As for the female clothing and accessories that appear in the book, she also described them according to Chanel's requirements, from jewelry, cosmetics, skin care products, perfumes to clothing and shoes and bags, for which the other party paid a seven-digit advertising fee. .
You said there is no Chanel in the future world? How do you prove it? I said yes!
Bella has been clamoring for the release of her new book in recent days. Only if the new book sells well will the advertising fees for the second and third books of The Hunger Games be valuable.
Although she found it troublesome, she still agreed to participate in the book signing arranged by the publisher.
It’s all about sales.
Several book signings are held in big cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. There are indeed a lot of advertisements in the book, but the quality is guaranteed.... ..
......
Boston.
Boston is the city with the most educated residents in the United States. Harvard University and MIT are both located in Boston's urban area.
But few people know that there is an area called Charleston in the suburbs of Boston. It is less than one square mile, or a little more than 2.5 square kilometers. The residents here regard themselves as Charlestonians. They are proud that their ancestors have been engaged in one industry for generations, that is, robbing banks!
Bank robbery became a profession here and was passed down from generation to generation.
If the grandfather is caught, the father will take on the job. If the father is caught, the son will continue to inherit his position.
According to official statistics, there were 370 bank robberies in Boston last year, an average of one per day, and 90% of the suspects were from the Charleston area.
Local residents support each other and consider this a glorious tradition and are ready to continue carrying it forward.
However, after entering the new century, it is becoming more and more difficult to rob banks, and the cash stolen is getting less and less. As a large number of old thieves retire, the younger generation is also trying to find new economic growth points.
At this time, in an ordinary private house, four young men were having a heated discussion.
"Hey, hey, going to rob a book seller? Those old guys are really getting lower and lower." The young man put his feet on the table, his face full of rebelliousness.
The leading man looked much more steady. He took out the first volume of The Hunger Games that he had just bought and threw it into the arms of the unruly man.
"Clint, do you know how much this book is priced at? Let me tell you, twenty-nine dollars! Counting the signing of the hardcover version of her old book, some people will buy two or more at one time, Do you know how much this costs?
If someone just wants to sell books and doesn't want to wait in line for the author's signature, how many books will be sold and how much cash will be earned? I heard that there are also jewelry stores selling jewelry on site, so this number will increase. It's possible, 400,000 or 500,000. Do you still think it's a little less? ”
The eyes of the other three men lit up instantly. Let alone four or five hundred thousand, even if it was only two hundred thousand, it was completely worth their efforts!
