I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 162 Solution

Chapter 162 Solution (35)

In fact, Liu Jin is not short of money.

The follow-up royalties for "Father" and "Angel" have not yet arrived.

According to Mela's estimate, the subsequent royalties from France alone amounted to nearly five million US dollars.

Adding the royalties from French-speaking and non-French-speaking regions, the total is about three million US dollars.

However, this money will not be aggregated until the end of the year, and it will probably take until the beginning of next year for it to reach Liu Jin.

Fortunately, Liu Jin was not in a hurry to use the money.

He had 180 million francs from the sale of the house.

The money in his pocket is enough for him to survive until he receives his royalties.

But he was in a hurry!

He needs more money to complete operations next year.

……

After parting with Mela and the other two, he ran to Abel's boxing gym.

After returning to Toulouse, he resumed his boxing training.

Abel was also very happy about this.

Liu Jin is a celebrity after all.

His frequent appearance in the boxing gym is also a promotion for the gym.

In particular, there are many women among his fans.

Well, since Liu Jin's several works became a big hit this summer, the boxing gym has seen a lot more female students, which has also made the students who were already training here more motivated.

When Liu Jin arrived at the boxing gym, Abel was instructing Rust.

This year, Rust participated in several amateur competitions and achieved good results.

According to Abel's plan, he will participate in a boxing promotion in Monte Carlo at the end of the year.

By then, Rust's opponents will become professional boxers from all over the world.

Rust is a police officer with the Toulouse police department.

But the police department is also very supportive of being able to participate in such a large-scale event.

Since August, Rust has been given special approval for special training.

His salary continued to be paid, and he trained in the boxing gym and received comprehensive guidance from Abel.

After all, being able to make a difference in a professional boxing match is also a positive publicity for the image of the police station...

"Then Rust must be very happy, right?"

"That's not the case. His training now is even harder than before!"

"If you want to achieve results, you have to suffer."

Liu Jin said disapprovingly, "I want to make money, so I have to work hard on my manuscripts."

"Shit, you can get a lot of money just by writing a few words on a piece of paper. If Rust wants to make money, he has to work hard."

Abel and Liu Jin stood under the boxing ring and chatted.

Rust was in the boxing ring, sweating profusely.

"By the way, there's news on that matter."

"what's the situation?"

“A small gang on Torning Street, all of them are Andorrans.

They usually just collect protection money, sell some leaves, and steal. I saw in the newspaper that you were making a lot of money, and since you're Chinese, I thought I'd blackmail you. I contacted Arthur on Fermat Street, and he sent someone to talk to them, asking them to leave you alone. They agreed and are willing to apologize to you.

"Forget about the apology. I'm just an international student. There's no need for me to deal with them."

Abel nodded and said, “I think so too, so I didn’t agree.

However, you need to move as soon as possible... Your area is a commercial street, with a lot of people. This time it's the Andorran gang, but there might be other gangs in the future. Artur can handle them this time, but you can't count on him...

You know, gang members are not good people."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "I will move in a few days and buy a house on Saint-Jacques Street.

By the way, when you have time, come visit me and I will make you some delicious Chinese food."

"That would be great!"

In his previous life, although Liu Jin lived in Toulouse for many years, he was not aware of the dark side of this city.

Now he finally knows!

But fortunately, he had established a good relationship with Abel, the local tyrant, early on.

To be honest, he doesn't care about the Andorran Gang.

After all, he is a rich man and knows the people in the embassy. If necessary, he can ask the embassy to solve the problem.

Although most of the time, the embassy will ask you to abide by local laws and customs.

But once you make it, the embassy will give you the necessary care.

Celebrities...

Understandable!

After practicing boxing for a while in the boxing gym, Liu Jin drove back to the hotel.

Ottilie will take care of the moving.

He didn't have much furniture and luggage in the apartment, mainly a dozen boxes of books, which would be troublesome to move.

Yes, books!

A hobby of Liu Jin.

When I see a good book, I can't help but buy it.

In his previous life, every time he moved, his biggest headache was his collection of books.

It is troublesome to pack up three or four hundred boxes of books, and it is also very hard to move them.

Every time there is a move, the movers complain bitterly.

too heavy!
This life...

He still hasn't changed this bad habit. He's only lived in the apartment for a little over half a year, and he's already bought hundreds of books.

Some are reference books, and some are old books bought from flea markets for collection.

Among them, the most precious is a copy of "The Red and the Black" published in 1830.

Stendhal's "The Red and the Black" is also the first published version after Stendhal completed the creation.

170 years ago!
The first owner of the collection was a nobleman at that time.

Anyway, I don't know how it was passed down, but it is in perfect condition.

When Liu Jin bought this book, he had found a bargain. The woman selling it had no idea of its value, let alone its history. She simply thought it was an antique and offered 800 francs, which Liu Jin promptly bought.

Liu Jin asked Mela if this book could fetch several thousand francs if it were auctioned.

Of course, he couldn't take action!
……

Time passes quietly.

Before we knew it, it was already October.

During this time, Liu Jin completed his move from his apartment on Mirepoix Street to a house on Saint-Jacques Street.

He bought a Sony PC120, a handheld video camera that had just been released in September.

Twenty years later, the model has essentially been phased out.

But during this period, it was the most advanced handheld camera.

Liu Jin used a camera to take pictures of the newly bought house, and then invited Mela and others to appear in the film so that his parents would not worry that he was not popular with women.

After filming, he sent the videotape back to China.

……

After the move, Liu Jin did not make a big fuss about it.

The reason I moved was that I wanted a quiet environment to create.

He invited Professor Joan and Mr. Guier to be his guests.

Among his classmates, apart from Yang Dongqi, Sun Yue and Selena, he only invited Jimmy and Martina, as well as Mohammed bin Hamad Al Qasimi, a foreign student from the United Arab Emirates whom he had just met when he enrolled in 2001.

Casimi is the person Liu Jin has been waiting for since last year.

Mohammed bin Hamad Al Qasimi, from the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, is also a good friend that Liu Jin met in Toulouse in his previous life.

He also has another identity, the great-nephew of Sagar, the chief of Ras Al Khaimah.

I won’t introduce the UAE.

Ras Al Khaimah is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates.

Qassemi attended Toulouse Business School for only one year before returning to Ras Al Khaimah following the death of his father.

After that, there was no news.

The last time Liu Jin saw Casimi in his previous life was in the news fifteen years later.

By that time, Qasimi had transformed himself into an official of the UAE.

But at that time, Liu Jin and Casimi had very different statuses. Although he was very happy to see him again, he never thought of contacting him.

This guy inherited his father's legacy.

Then, starting from Ras Al Khaimah, he successfully entered the UAE government and became an official of prominent status.

Local tycoon!

This was probably the most realistic description of Qasimi's identity at the time.

He will be enrolled in September.

After 911/, European and American countries generally held a kind of vigilance against people from ZD.

So he doesn't have many friends at school.

Liu Jin took advantage of the opportunity and got to know him.

There is no utilitarian idea in it, I just want to restore friendship.

In his previous life, after coming to Toulouse, Casimir bought a large flat of more than 400 square meters on Rue Perchepoint.

After he returned to Ras Al Khaimah, he handed the large flat to Liu Jin for care.

Liu Jin therefore lived there for the next two years until he graduated and left.

Later, the house was sold by Qasimi in 2005.

A very generous guy with a gentle personality.

I don’t care how much money my friends are, because none of them are as rich as me!

Ten years later, Prince Wang made bold statements on the Internet.

But in Liu Jin's opinion, this sentence is more suitable for Casimi... He is really generous!

He only lived in Toulouse for one year, bought a mansion and three luxury cars... This guy is a real rich man!
And Casimi was also very happy about Liu Jin's invitation.

After visiting Liu Jin's house, he suddenly had an idea to buy a house nearby and be Liu Jin's neighbor.

"Didn't you just buy an apartment?"

"Yes, but I think the scenery here is better."

"What about your apartment?"

"Just leave it there. It won't cost much."

On the side, Yang Dongqi smacked his lips.

Neither of them is worthy of being a son of man.

Liu Jin is better, but this Casimi...

"This kind of house is not easy to find. It depends on the opportunity."

"That's okay. I'll ask my secretary to find out. If it doesn't work out, I'll just pay a premium. As long as I can afford it, I can always buy it."

It feels like he is not buying a house, but more like buying a toy.

Some people are born as mules and horses, while others are born in Rome!
