Chapter 183 The Big Tree Attracts the Wind
A day later, Bella came to read Heather's masterpiece, and found that she wrote a title...
Heather seemed exhausted, with a pair of murder weapons on the table, her chin resting in her hands, thinking.
The mustache Max on the side is very energetic to help his girlfriend and write about the farm. You must know something about the farm, right? He dismantled the warehouse tractor, only to find that he was completely incapable of putting it back together.
Bella pointed for a while: "Put these away and pack them, and I can ask Tony Stark to help us repair the tractor."
Max was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Are you stupid? Of course it's fake! How can Stark have such a spare time."
After complaining for a while, Bella picked up the title written by Heather and was a little speechless.
It seems a bit ahead of time to use this kind of title, maybe it will be better to write it in twenty years, right? ......
"Shall I sell you the manor and the land? What do you think?"
Bella was speechless about the good idea Heather came up with after thinking about it all night: "I want these for no use? My family is in Los Angeles, and I go to school at Stanford. You are now selling me a house in Texas?. …”
Heather sighed heavily, how could she not understand these truths, but she had no other way.
Bella also thought about her, and came up with an idea at this time: "You can mortgage the land and real estate to the bank in exchange for a loan, and then find an investment project that interests you."
She was subjected to all kinds of soft violence by her adoptive parents and mother since she was a child, which made Heather's childhood and youth more difficult. When she grew up, Heather was very un-American, that is, she did not like to owe money to others.
With such an explosive figure, it is too easy to make money, but she has been sticking to the bottom line, just to prove herself.
Now I owe Bella $80,000, and they are friends, so this is easy.
If she owes money to the bank and the investment fails, she will return to her previous state of poverty.
Bella's words made Heather think for a long time, and she didn't make up her mind until several people returned to San Francisco.
The house will not be damaged if it is placed there. The three thousand mu of land will not be planted first, and it will not make any money anyway.
I have a large piece of industry in my name that seems to be useless,
At the same time, Bella and the second uncle have a total of $100,000 in debt, and a trip to Texas makes Heather's life colorful.
On weekends, she would stay at the second uncle's house for two days. Hobbs Sawyer had no children, and gradually regarded her as his own daughter.
......
Bella's second book, the first of The Hunger Games, is officially out.
The royalties given by Random House are 10%, and the half-yearly settlement when the Da Vinci code was sold before has also been changed to three-monthly settlement.
There has been a lot of buzz about The Hunger Games.
The positive point of view is that her new book has a sense of technology and is very warning. It also highlights the status of the heroine. The heroine's struggle and wisdom between love, family affection and life and death are impressive, which is very feminist!
On the contrary, the book is too youthful, as if to please young readers.
The style of the whole book is more than one grade lower than the Da Vinci Code, and in order to highlight the heroine's personal image, several male characters are degraded to the same level as trash, and there are too many advertisements implanted in the book. What long skirts, earrings, and rings take a lot of space to describe, are you selling goods?
That's right! I'm just selling! How much money can you make by writing books?
Bella is disdainful of all kinds of negative comments. The idea of the flame sports car is that she and Koenigsegg have agreed. Originally planned to retreat for two years, Koenigsegg, who is focused on developing new cars, will cooperate with her and launch a new model. A sports car that did not appear in the original time and space, the name of the car is Koenigsegg-Flame.
Worldwide sales are expected to be nine.
The price this time is not 690,000 euros. Bella directly added a 1 to the original price, 1.69 million euros! Love to buy or not.
As for the women's clothing and accessories that appeared in the book, she also described according to Chanel's request, from jewelry, cosmetics, skin care products, perfumes all the way to clothing and shoes and bags, and the other party paid seven-figure advertising fees for this.
You say the future world does not have Chanel? How do you prove it? I say yes!
Bella has been screaming for the release of the new book in recent days. The new book sells well, and the advertising fees for the second and third Hunger Games are worthwhile.
The book signing arranged by the publisher, although she found it very troublesome, she still agreed to participate.
It's all about sales.
Several book signings are held in big cities. New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle will all go there. There are indeed a lot of advertisements in the book, but the quality is also guaranteed...
......
Boston.
Boston is the most educated city in the United States, and both Harvard University and MIT are located in the Boston metropolitan area.
But few people know that there is an area called Charleston on the outskirts of Boston, which is less than one square mile, which is a little more than 2.5 square kilometers. The residents here are proud of being Charlestonians. They The ancestors have been engaged in one business for generations, and that is bank robbery!
Bank robbery became a profession here, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
The grandfather gets in, the father takes that job, the father goes in, and the son continues to take his place.
According to official statistics, there were 370 bank robberies in Boston last year, an average of one a day, and 90% of the suspects were from the Charleston area.
Local residents shelter each other, consider it a glorious tradition, and are ready to carry it forward.
However, after entering the new century, it becomes more and more difficult to rob a bank, and the amount of cash to be robbed becomes 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, to rob a book seller? Those old guys are really looking down." The young man put his feet on the table, his face full of rebelliousness.
The man at the head looked much more stable. He took out a copy of the first book of The Hunger Games he just bought and threw it into the unruly man's arms.
"Clint, do you know what the price of this book is? Twenty-nine dollars, I'm telling you! With the hardcover signing of her old book, some people will buy two or more at a time, you know that How much is it?
If someone just wanted to sell books and didn't want to wait in line for the author to sign, how many books would they sell and how much cash would they make? I heard that there are also jewelry sales at the scene, so the number will increase, 400,000, 500,000, it is possible, do you still think it is less? "
The eyes of the other three men lit up instantly, let alone 40,000 or 500,000, even if it was only 200,000, it was totally worth their vote!
