Chapter 934 The Generous Li Jie
Anyway, Li Jie met Doom's gaze without fear. What's the matter, superheroes are not human anymore? Superheroes can't fart? You don't care when I let it go, I just farted, hit me if you have the ability.
It's not that superheroes don't eat whole grains, or don't worry about daily necessities. Take Blade Runner for example, because the success of the "Iron Man" movie has driven the rise of the entire Marvel industry. Comics and peripheral products have been stretched, not only the products of Iron Man itself, but also the sales of comics and peripherals of other characters in the company.
For example, Blade Warrior's manga has always been a second-tier publication in the company, and its sales volume is only slightly higher than that of Hawkeye, which was launched not long ago. At its best, it was tied with the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Iron Fist comic series.
Blade's popularity is there, but it has not been too high. Therefore, the copyright fee that Li Jie's Marvel company pays to Blade every quarter is not very high. The highest and most explosive copyright fee was only about 100,000 US dollars (before tax deduction).
Blade's life has always been tight, although he has a decent salary in S.H.I.E.L.D., plus copyright fees, his life should be very chic.
However, because he bought a luxury villa in Midtown Manhattan, New York, his family was completely emptied and he was in debt. Coupled with the alarming increase in property taxes in New York, especially in Manhattan. Some property tax increases can often outperform the rate of increase in house prices.
So Daofeng has been worrying about money. Although Jen Kailin (Blade's girlfriend, now living together) has proposed countless times that she can directly use her credit card to repay the loan. Because as a specially approved scientist in Osborn's blood and genetics, Jen Kailin's annual income is much higher than Blade's.
But Blade is a very old-fashioned man, a man who thinks that a man should be the breadwinner of the family. It can be said that he has a little male chauvinism at work. So he never accepted Jen Kailin's proposal. In order to preserve the blade who loves to save face, Jen Kailin can't do anything by force.
Therefore, Daofeng’s life is always tight. When he has to pay various bank card accounts at the end of the month, he will take out his small notebook and calculator and start calculating. The money can be paid back later. How should I pay for my social security, medical insurance, etc. And how much tax do you have to pay when tax season comes? If the payment is missed, the tax police may come to the door to collect debts armed.
So when Iron Man's growth rate led to an increase in the sales of Blade Warrior, Li Jie paid Blade 160,000 in copyright fees this quarter. This is the time that Daofeng has obtained the most copyright fees.
He almost didn't cry on the spot, Li Jie still remembered the appearance of this tough guy holding the check tightly and praying to the sky. But after he got the money, he spent more than $50,000 on a new car. At that time, Li Jie felt that it was necessary to remind him that it is better to save money, so as not to spend it all and fall into financial crisis. Like Dr. Reed.
The story of the blade warrior is actually an example, no matter how superheroes and how brave and resolute the superheroes are in big movies or comics. But to put it bluntly, they are still human beings first and superheroes second. They were hungry even if they didn't eat, and they hurt even when they were beaten.
So what's wrong with Li Jie self-consciously saying that he can't hold his fart? Who stipulated that superheroes are not allowed to fart?
Dum stared at Li Jie for a long time. Anyway, Li Jie kept insisting that he just farted, and he was definitely not joking. Under Li Jie's repeated insistence, Dum finally chose to temporarily give up the idea of troublesome Li Jie.
Because he is more troublesome now, Dr. Reed and Susan's attitude towards him is far beyond Dum's imagination. Susan actually used her own example as chicken soup for the soul to pour Reed into drinking, allowing him to soothe his soul when he was most hurt. Can you believe this kind of thing? Doom felt like he was going crazy.
Aren't you a big villain yourself? Isn't it a great tyrant and a great dictator? When can I be used as a role model in life?
Doom's bright mind was in a mess. Seeing that Dum was in a mess, Li Jie instantly felt that he could relax and enter the mode of watching a movie.
In the end, Doom didn't even know how he left Dr. Reed's laboratory. Because Reed and Susan kept happy for him and encouraged him. In the end Doom forgot what his original purpose of coming here was.
It wasn't until he returned to his ruined castle in this bright dress that he suddenly realized. its not right! That's not how my script was written! What about asking Reid for trouble? Why did he come back so disheartened, and was fed a stomach full of disgusting chicken soup? !
Dum wanted to go to Dr. Reed again, but Li Jie stopped him: "Okay, Dr. Dum. I think you should have put it down now. No matter what kind of hatred or grudges, whether the original thing was true or not, It's not that important to you now."
Dum asked himself, he really didn't have the anger he had before. Yes, some things should really be let go, but Dum felt suddenly empty in his heart. The Mage Destroyer was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't show any good looks to Li Jie.
"So, have you seen enough theater today? Then hurry up, I'm going to rest." Dum ordered to evict the guest bluntly.
But Li Jie didn't plan to leave yet, because giving Doom medicine to restore his appearance was only the first purpose of his coming. There was another purpose he needed to explain to Dum.
"Actually, I can't leave for the time being. We still need to talk about something." Li Jie found a place to sit down. Well, at least Lei Shensijia will not go back until he thinks of a way to get the Rubik's Cube, otherwise he will be caught as a coolie again.
Dum asked angrily: "Speak directly, I don't have much time in the United States to spend with you."
Li Jie ignored Dum's tone, he understood what Dum went through today. So he generously opened a bottle of Champagne King and asked Dum to drink it. Although this place seemed to be a ruined castle, everything here belonged to Dum. But Li Jie still behaved very generously.
Li Jie handed the champagne to Dum, regardless of Dum's face. He lightly clinked glasses with Dum with a crystal glass and said, "Cheers."
Doom narrowed his eyes, looking like he was about to reassess the man's shamelessness.
Li Jie tasted this top-notch champagne, which is said to have only 70 bottles in the world, and each bottle is priced at 300,000 euros. Well, I can drink the taste of banknotes.
"Say something quickly, fart quickly!" Dum was almost annoyed by Li Jie.
Li Jie waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. I want to introduce a group of dark elves to prevent future wars."
Li Jie shook the crystal glass he was holding in his hand. Inside the glass was champagne king full of the fragrance of banknotes. He had a smile on his face, but what he said was not funny at all: "An attack from a different dimension is an opportunity for the Earth Federation to unite. It is also for the New Eastern European Union and Tuvalu to truly integrate into the Earth Federation, and even obtain status plan."
