Chapter 400 Tease JK Rowling?

Beverly Hills, Lee's mansion.

Dongfang Yuqin counted the results of the Asian financial crisis, and then handed it to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian was in a very happy mood, browsing the information while eating the apple.

"Hehe, not bad! It's really profitable this time!" Li Zetian laughed heartily, it was not in vain that he had prepared for so long and mobilized trillions of dollars.During the Asian financial crisis, Li Zetian earned 1.15 trillion US dollars, and the decades of economic accumulation of Southeast Asian countries were all earned by Li Zetian!
"However, there is still a part of the funds that cannot be cashed out for the time being!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. The important thing right now is..." Li Zetian bit an apple and said inarticulately, "Well, after the financial crisis, land, companies, and technology in Southeast Asian countries are all at the price of cabbage. We can take the opportunity to buy the bottom. When the economy picks up in the future, our investment will be multiplied many times over!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zetian unconsciously thought of South Korea's Samsung and Lotte Group... Korean companies have a high rate of responsibility, so more bankruptcies.Although Japanese companies such as Sony and Panasonic did not go bankrupt, they were severely injured and injured, and they no longer have the strength to compete with Li Zetian's company in the future.

After reading the materials, Li Zetian put the documents on the table, and immediately chatted with Dongfang Yuqin about investment.

There are too many things to invest in. Li Zetian pointed out a general idea, and more professionals are needed to implement the specifics.

"The Bank of Korea is going to auction Samsung Group and Lotte Group. I think it is better not to wait for their auction, but to initiate the acquisition in advance, lest more people compete with us." Dongfang Yuqin suggested.

"Huh...??" Li Zetian thought for a while and said, "Alright, let's initiate the acquisition in advance!"

Right now, the Samsung Group is not the largest group in South Korea.However, in Li Zetian's previous life, Samsung Group would have developed against the trend after the Asian financial crisis and become the largest multinational conglomerate in South Korea. It owns Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T, Samsung Fire, Samsung Securities, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Samsung Engineering. , Samsung Airlines, Samsung Life Insurance and other 85 subsidiaries, the business involves electronics, finance, machinery, chemistry and many other fields.

The power of the Samsung Group is unbelievable. Koreans claim that three things cannot be avoided in life: death, taxes, and Samsung!
Some people can't help ridiculing that the "Samsung life" of Koreans is: born at Samsung Hospital, studying at Samsung University, using Samsung's electronic products, holding a wedding at Samsung Hotel, and finally dying of old age at Samsung Hospital.

However, the Samsung in this life may not be as powerful as the previous life.

If Li Zetian acquires the Samsung Group, the South Korean government will definitely not vigorously support Samsung's development, and even secretly hinder it.In fact, for Li Zetian, there are two main purposes for buying Samsung. One is to reduce a strong competitor, and the other is to rely on Samsung to open up the Korean market.South Korea is relatively xenophobic, and the government attaches great importance to national industries, which makes it difficult for foreign companies to compete with local Korean companies.

……

In the next period of time, Li Zetian was very busy, and there were many major acquisitions and investment projects that required him to personally intervene.In addition, it is already 1998, and Li Zetian is worried that the Internet bubble will come ahead of schedule, and plans to cash out some of his shares.

Just when he was considering how many shares each Internet listed company should sell, a sudden phone call made him stunned.

"Chronos Li, hello, I'm JK Rowling, do you remember me? A few years ago in a coffee shop in Edinburgh, you read my novel..."

"Oh, it's you, of course I remember!" Li Zetian replied with a smile, thinking, Rowling hasn't called me for several years, I almost forgot about her.

JK Rowling was overjoyed when she heard the words, she never thought that the richest man in the world would really remember her!

Li Zetian asked at this time: "Has your book been published? It stands to reason that after so many years, your book should be finished. Why didn't you contact me to help you publish it?"

Rowling was embarrassed and silent for a while, then replied in a weak tone: "You have a lot of affairs, and you must be very busy at ordinary times... I, I dare not disturb you."

Li Zetian was speechless for a moment. The purpose of giving you a business card was to let you call me after finishing your book, but your sister didn't call me.

"Then has your book been published?" Li Zetian asked again, the previous life should have been published by now.Li Zetian thought to himself, no matter what, the copyright must be obtained. Super IP like "Harry Potter" is very rare!

Rowling shook her head, her expression darkened, and she replied disappointedly: "I searched for many publishing houses to submit manuscripts, but I was repeatedly rejected. They didn't like my book..." After a pause, Rowling sighed sadly, "To date, my book has not been published."

Li Zetian frowned slightly, thinking that maybe it was because of the butterfly effect that Rowling did not meet the Bole from her previous life.At this moment, Rowling must be desperate, so she called herself for help!

"I'll ask someone to buy a publishing house in the UK immediately, and then publish your book for you!!" Li Zetian said.

Chronos·Li went to buy a publishing house to help me publish books! ! !
He, he doesn't like me, does he?

Rowling was startled, her cheeks were slightly hot.

In fact, because the background of the novel "Harry Potter" is in England, Li Zetian planned to buy a British publishing house.Unexpectedly, Rowling misunderstood.However, it's no wonder that Rowling thought too much, because her work was rejected by too many people, which made her lose confidence.Since the novel "Harry Potter" is not good-looking, Rowling would think, why did Chronos Li publish a new book for me, and even bought a publishing house to help her publish a new book!If it's not about books, it's about her!
At this time, Rowling didn't speak for a while, her mind was full of random thoughts.

"Rowling, what do you think?" Li Zetian didn't know why the other side didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help asking.

Rowling hesitated at this moment, whether to agree or not.If you agree, it means that you accept his kindness...

Rowling suddenly thought of her situation. She was poor and had children to support. Now she urgently needed a sum of money, and Chronos Li was an excellent person. If he liked me, then I would do as he wished. From him...

"Chronos Li, I am really grateful, thank you for publishing the book for me!" Rowling's tone was a little bit shy.

"It's nothing, no need to thank!" Li Zetian couldn't help being stunned for a moment, why did Rowling's tone suddenly become weird?

However, Li Zetian didn't think much about it, he had no interest in Rowling at all, he was purely for "Harry Potter".

"Okay, Rowling, you wait at home first, a publisher will contact you soon!"

"Hmm~"

After hanging up the phone, Li Zetian immediately asked his subordinates in the UK to help him buy the publishing house, and explained some things. After that, he called Disney to buy the copyright of the "Harry Potter" film adaptation, and then prepared to shoot this movie.

On the same day, Disney called JK Rowling.

"Hi, are you JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels? Oh, I'm Jimmy Charles, Producer for Disney, and our company is planning to adapt your novels into films! Don't worry, the film adaptation Copyright will definitely satisfy you! Is $50 enough?"

When Rowling heard this, she was completely dumbfounded!
What's happening here?My book hasn't been published yet, how does Disney know?But also to buy the film adaptation rights! $50, oh my god, how can there be so much film adaptation rights for an unknown, unpublished book? !
Rowling finds everything incredible!

Suddenly, Rowling's eyes lit up, and she thought: "Disney seems to be Chronos Li's company!!!"

"The book hasn't been published yet, and I don't know if it will be popular. He is about to buy the right to adapt the film... Well, he must know that I am in a difficult situation, so he did it!"

Luo Lin blushed, feeling that Li Zetian was really kind to her.

"Ms. Rowling?? Are you listening?" Disney producer Jimmy Charles called out on the phone.

"Oh, I'm listening!"

"Then are you satisfied with the conditions given by Disney?" Jimmy Charles asked.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Rowling nodded repeatedly.

"Okay then, I'll have someone contact you right away. As soon as the contract is signed, the 50 US dollars will be credited to your account immediately!"

"Okay!" Rowling replied, she is really short of money now.

After finishing the conversation, Rowling walked to the window. There was a coffee shop opposite downstairs, which was the place where she and Li Zetian met for the first time.

Rowling stared blankly at the cafe, her thoughts wandering to nowhere.

If Li Zetian knew that Rowling was in a daze because of him, Li Zetian would definitely yell that he was wronged, more wronged than Dou E, he never flirted with Rowling, okay...
