Little Stutterer went to clear the dishes, while Lin Zhengyi originally wanted to take a shower.
But this time!
"Ding Ding Ding!"
The phone rang.
"Who is it?" Lin Zhengyi asked casually as he answered the phone.
"you guess?"
A familiar, cheeky voice came from the other end of the phone, and the other person was speaking in English.
a bit!
Lin Zhengyi immediately guessed who was making the call!
"Ed, you're basically the only one who calls me in English," Lin Zhengyi said irritably.
"Ah, I really can't hide anything from you!"
Ed chuckled and said, "Then guess why I'm looking for you?"
"Sign the contract and print more Harry Potter books!" Lin Zhengyi declared.
"Oh my god, how did you know?" Ed exclaimed in surprise from the other end of the phone.
Indeed, he called Lin Zhengyi to sign a contract for additional printings of Harry Potter.
but!
He was puzzled as to how Lin Zhengyi knew.
You should know that they had already reprinted 100,000 copies last time, a scale that only authors with some fame could afford. Logically, Lin Zhengyi, who was not in Europe and unaware of Harry Potter's sales figures, shouldn't have guessed that he was going to reprint Harry Potter.
"Because I have faith in my Harry Potter!" Lin Zhengyi smiled slightly.
joke!
In its previous life, Harry Potter sold over 500 million copies!
While part of the reason for the increasing sales is the accumulation of time, another reason is that there are seven Harry Potter books in total, and the total sales volume is only due to the cumulative effect of all seven books.
But overall, a single Harry Potter book definitely sold more than 100,000 copies.
He felt that at least tens of millions of copies were no problem!
“I didn’t expect you to have so much faith in your Harry Potter. But you’re right, we’re going to print an extra million copies!” Ed said seriously.
"Oh, one million copies? Are you planning to distribute them throughout Europe?" Lin Zhengyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
Previously, Harry Potter was only sold in Japan.
With a million copies now, Lin Zhengyi believes that Ed is probably preparing to distribute the books to countries throughout Europe.
He understood the purchasing power of various European countries and knew that even if the sales volume of Sakura Country alone were to be sold out eventually, it would definitely not be something that could be done in a short period of time.
For publishing companies, they would naturally want to sell out their stock as quickly as possible so that they can make a greater profit in a shorter period of time.
"That's right!"
Ed said seriously.
"Then fax the contract over."
Lin Zhengyi said decisively, then added with a smile, "Of course, most importantly, remember to transfer the money over!"
"You little rascal, don't you trust me?" Ed teased.
"Hmm, I don't believe you!" Lin Zhengyi said, feigning seriousness.
"Hey, we've been friends for so many years, and you still don't trust me? I'm angry! Next time we meet, if you don't treat me to ten or eight meals, we're not done!" Ed said with a laugh.
"Ten or eight meals? As long as we meet, I'll let you drink until you die!" Lin Zhengyi replied with a smile.
"Okay, I got it. Next time we meet, I'll drink myself to death!"
After agreeing, Ed said seriously, "That's all for today. It must be evening where you are now, right? Go and get some rest. I'll arrange your things later. Contact me again tomorrow morning, and I'll transfer the money and fax the contract over then!"
"Ok!"
Lin Zhengyi agreed and then hung up the phone.
This time!
The stuttering girl leaned closer, asking curiously, "Whose call was that?"
“One of my foreign brothers,” Lin Zhengyi explained.
"Really? I... I think I heard something about one million?" the stutterer asked curiously.
“Yes, my brother’s family owns a publishing company. My Harry Potter books were published by them. Now they want to print an additional million copies, so they called me to ask me to sign a reprint contract!” Lin Zhengyi explained.
"Zengzengyin? How much money can you make from that?" the stutterer continued curiously.
"This number!"
Lin Zhengyi held up two fingers.
"Twenty thousand?" the stutterer guessed after thinking for a moment.
Lin Zhengyi shook his head, then smiled slightly and said, "Add a hundred!"
"What? Two...two million!!!" the stuttering boy exclaimed.
She had never seen so much money in her life!
“It’s still Sakura pounds!” Lin Zhengyi said again.
Two million Sakura pounds?!
The little stutterer's pupils suddenly contracted, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.
Two million pounds?
Isn't that sixteen million?
For a moment, she was so excited she couldn't contain herself.
"Since that's the case, shall we... find a place to celebrate?" After the initial excitement, the little stutterer asked again.
"Okay!"
After answering, Lin Zhengyi looked at the stuttering girl, chuckled, and said, "But there's no need to look for a place, let's just stay here!"
"How are we celebrating here?" the stutterer asked, puzzled.
"Of course, we'll celebrate like this!"
Lin Zhengyi smiled, picked up the little stutterer, and rushed into the bedroom.
-
Early next morning!
Lin Zhengyi contacted Ed.
Meanwhile, Ed had already faxed the contract to Lin Zhengyi's fax machine, which Lin had recently purchased, via international fax.
After receiving the contract, Lin Zhengyi signed his name and faxed it back.
With that, the additional printing contract was also settled.
"I've already transferred the money. Just remember to check with the bank!" Ed said with a smile.
"understand!"
Lin Zhengyi responded.
immediately!
He hung up the phone and drove to the bank.
These days, there's no such thing as online banking or bank SMS; if you want to check how much money you have in your bank account, you basically have to go to the bank yourself.
Of course, if you have a lot of money, the bank will also provide dedicated customer service, and they will call you to notify you as soon as money is deposited into your account.
However, Lin Zhengyi's previous funds were clearly insufficient to provide dedicated customer service.
and so!
He had no choice but to look it up himself.
Chapter 74 Bank VIP, Car Modification
bank!
"Mr. Lin, you have 16.73 million in your account!"
The staff member, with a friendly smile, addressed Lin Zhengyi.
"Okay, I get it!"
A flicker of excitement flashed in Lin Zhengyi's eyes before he nodded.
This money is all the money he has right now.
Of the $16 million, $600,000 was for additional printings of Harry Potter, $600,000 was his remaining assets, and $130,000 was his salary and bonus for this month.
Because he solved several major cases this month, especially Han Chen's case, he received a reward of 50,000 yuan, so his bonus and salary together amounted to 130,000 yuan.
This time!
"Mr. Lin, the amount of money you currently have is enough to make you a VIP customer of our bank. Would you be willing to become a VIP customer of our bank?"
After a polite smile and a question, the staff member explained, "If you become a VIP customer of our bank, you will receive notifications of incoming funds and high-spending transactions. You can also make bank transfers by phone at any time, check your bank card balance, and receive personalized service in the VIP room when you come to the bank to withdraw money, etc."
"In addition, if you have loan needs, you can also apply for a certain degree of unsecured loans, or have the right to increase the loan amount, etc."
"Okay, get it done for me!"
Lin Zhengyi nodded.
These days, without the internet, checking your accounts or transferring money is a hassle. If you don't have a VIP membership, you have to come to the bank, which is a huge waste of time.
"Okay, please fill out this form!"
