Chapter 12 Dreams Take Off

Andy arrives at the company, pushes open the door of the manager's room, and sees Carl, Nelson and David, his new financial advisor, all present.

"Good day, boss....."

"Hey Andy, you're finally here. Last night..."

"boss."

"Hello, shut up Carl! Damn, you made me miserable last night!" Andy and Nelson, financial advisor David greeted them, and glared at Carl viciously.

"Hey...isn't it just some marijuana?" Karl Fat's face showed an indifferent expression, but his voice became very subtle because of Andy's anger.

Andy pointed at Carl with a helpless expression on his face. He really had nothing to do with Carl. As an old man who followed him, Carl was very attentive to the things he explained. Focusing on serving Andy and meeting Andy's needs, even if it is illegal, he will try his best to meet it. As for outsiders, he is another face, very similar to Huaxia's jester.

Andy knows what kind of person Carl is, and there is nothing you can do about him. Huaxia people use human habitual thinking. Your talent can be ordinary, you can have various shortcomings, but you must be loyal. With loyalty, everything else can be forgiven, and the same goes for Andy, who is white-skinned and yellow-hearted.

"Okay, guys, I need to discuss the next thing with you." Andy sat on the boss chair belonging to Carl, looking at the three people who were already seated opposite.

"The first thing is to get the word out about the deal with ITV and let NBC and CBS know, Nielsen, it's up to you to negotiate."

"The second thing, David, I'll tell you about my stock account in a moment. I bought all of Apple's stock for $22 million. If you believe me, you can also buy some, don't say I'm not cheap."

"The third thing, Carl, I need you to ask me about a piece of land on the Black Coast in San Diego, California. I don't know the exact location. I'll use Google Earth to check it out later."

The 20 million pounds is equivalent to 36.8 million US dollars at the exchange rate in 2006. Although he has money, the remaining 14.8 million is useful except for buying stocks.

Nelson and David both got their assignments and left, leaving only Andy and Carl in the office.

"I left the company with 1 million funds to run. Except for the cliff land on the Blake Coast, you can help me find out, and you can help me see if there are any game companies for sale."

Andy was lying on the sofa at this time, his head resting on the armrest, and his feet were facing the direction of the other armrest, talking to Carl lazily.

"Boss, why do you want to inquire about the game company again?" Carl scratched his head a little bit about Andy's assignment to him.

Andy lay down and didn't want to move, and rolled his eyes at Carl, "If you want to inquire, just inquire. Don't you brag about your connections all day long? It's not wrong to do something like this, right?"

"How is that possible! I just don't understand why you bought a game company. That thing is a bottomless pit. Millions, tens of millions are not enough to burn!" Carl was very angry at Andy's questioning, but Andy knew that he This is the color of inner beauty.

Andy despised him speechlessly, "Why are you asking so many questions, I know what I'm doing!"

"Heh..." Carl laughed dryly, "I don't care about you, I'm afraid of your loss! Who made me your most loyal partner." He was cheeky, and immediately played emotional cards after the embarrassment. .

"You fat fat man, sometimes I really want to fire you, really." Andy said helplessly.

"Hey, you have fired me several times, but for my loyalty and ability, I don't think you will make a wrong decision." Carl changed his wretched expression and said calmly.

"Well, I was defeated by your shamelessness.

Andy accentuated his tone to express his helplessness, "By the way, the manuscript of "The Hunger Games" is in my bag, you can take it and talk to Xuele. "

"Why do you want to publish The Hunger Games now? Didn't you say you had to wait?"

"No wait, since Xue Le has given such good conditions, there is no need to keep it in your hands. Besides, it's only the first book." Andy explained to him.

"What about the next story?"

Andy shrugged and said, "I have a new idea, a very strange story, and I want to write it first!"

Although Carl's face was very calm, the surprise in his eyes betrayed him. For Andy's performance in the past few months, it was like a dream. He really dug a gold mine and hugged him. A golden thigh, for the future that Franklin kept coming to him, he restrained the turbulence in his bones, looked at the manuscript on the table, remembered the humiliation he received at CCA, and sneered at the corners of his mouth, as long as Andy kept having When the new book is published, these IP copyrights are his weapons, and he will always have a chance to take revenge.

Andy sat up, picked up the coffee on the table and drank it, stood up and exercised, "Okay, you're busy, I'll be back."

Looking at Andy who left a bunch of things for him, but he patted his butt, Carl couldn't help but feel helpless, but he was more grateful, grateful that Andy didn't abandon him, as a middle-aged man whose marriage failed , career is now his all.

His career in the CCA brokerage company was gone, which made him think of death at that time. Fortunately, he still has Andy. "Thank you Andy, I won't let you down."

The sun is gradually going down, dyeing the sky red orange, and lining the silhouette of the mountain with gold, making everything around it look alive. It was extremely quiet all around, and occasionally some unique small buildings poked out from the hillsides, lazily hidden among the trees.

After dinner, Andy took a bottle of ice wine and a wine glass and came to the lounge chair by the swimming pool. He held a goblet with amber ice wine in his right hand on his chest, and his left hand rested behind his head, looking up at the stars. In the night sky, the cool night wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound.

This kind of leisure and relaxation life is really beautiful. The extravagance in the past only made me more miserable at that time, but now, this kind of life is within my fingertips. Thinking like this, the corners of my mouth can't help but show a wry smile and helplessness .

Suddenly, the phone rang, and he shifted his posture upward, took out the phone from his pocket, looked at the caller display, and let out a light sigh, as if he had realized something.

"Hey, Mom, you haven't slept so late, isn't it past ten o'clock in New York?" Andy answered the phone and asked calmly.

"Son, I heard that you made a fortune? Tell your mother what's going on?" Li Wanqing's excited voice came from the phone.

Andy had such an expression as expected, and smiled, "Oh, my mother, why don't you care about my health or something, and ask me about making a fortune as soon as you come up, you're really a money fan."

"Go, go, why are you talking to mom, you are in good health, I have asked Liu Yan long ago, isn't this your dad's envious look that made me curious when he came back at night, my son is amazing, you Dad looks like a calm face, but he doesn't know how happy he is." Li Wanqing said with a smile.

"That's what happened..."

Barabara talked for half an hour before explaining the whole thing, and finally Andy asked, "Mom, what do you want, I'll give it to you."

"Silly son, mom doesn't need anything. I just hope you are doing well. I read your new book. Although some parts are scary, I think this can reflect the profound meaning of fairy tales." Li Wanqing's words The care of Andy made Andy feel warm.

"Hehe, it seems, Mom, you like the stories I wrote very much." Andy controlled the excitement in his body and pretended to smile lightly.

"Of course I like it. I think the New York Times book review is the best." In such a work that can be called both fable and magic, both fairy tale and realism, the author has maintained a clean soul from beginning to end. It seems that wearing a school uniform is the first face in life. "Mom is really happy for you, and now I can finally rest assured." Li Wanqing was extremely proud to read the book reviews in the newspaper to Andy. A mother's love for her son, and a sense of relief.

I don't know if it was the influence of which part of the soul, tears overflowed from Andy's eyes, and he wiped them away silently. Sadness and happiness intertwined, "This feeling is really annoying! I will take good care of them, don't worry!" It seems right Someone promises, and it seems to be talking to himself.

"Okay, let's not talk, you can rest. If you have nothing to do, go back to New York. Mom misses you a little bit." As she spoke, Li Wanqing's voice was a little choked up.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back to see you after I've dealt with this, I love your mom." Andy knew he couldn't go on.

"En, um, mother loves you too, okay, you can rest!" Li Wanqing seemed to be whispering something to the people next to her, and her mood stabilized.
