"Sorry, we didn't receive the news in advance. But we will try to find out which company is really interested in the copyright and the price they are willing to pay, and Tonares will lead the team to meet with you and discuss in detail All relevant information about "Jurassic Park." Old Anderson twitched his eyebrows, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Adam in a respectful tone.

To be honest, although he has been busy with work recently, it is not to the point that he cannot be contacted. However, for more than two months, Cromwell did not reveal anything to him. About the novel "Jurassic Park" The news of the sale, and even the matter of the film and television copyright this time did not disclose to him.He really didn't know what Cromwell's plan was. Could it be that Harper Collins wanted to take over the job of the novel agent of "Jurassic Park"?

But they don't have time to take care of these things now. There are only two main points now. One is to stabilize Adam so that he will not switch to others. Judging from the current development situation, the work of this novel agent is still very promising Yes, and with Adam's current age, as long as he maintains the level of "Jurassic Park" a little bit, then he will likely become the biggest gold mine for their law firm. Going up to the next level, you can even get opportunities for business transformation.

After all, with the scale of their company, if they want to go further, they have to confront those established law firms. , The difficulty is not small, and it may even break a few teeth if you are not careful.

In addition to stabilizing Adam, the other point is to show their strength. After all, this business still depends on ability, and the most important weight to win the favor of customers is to be able to fulfill or even exceed the requirements of customers to satisfy them , This naturally dispels the customer's doubts about them.

"Okay, then I'll wait for everyone's arrival." Adam didn't think too much about it. Although the old Anderson neglected him in the early stage, to be honest, he didn't expect them to play well. The novel agency contract is also for the subsequent sale of copyrights in countries other than the United States, as well as the negotiation of film copyrights and other derivative copyrights that are now being faced.

He knew that with the popularity of "Jurassic Park" today, there must be other more professional novel agents who want to take over, but Adam doesn't trust them, and judging by the size of the Anderson-Tornares law firm. , he will definitely become its core client, and he also believes in the abilities of Tonares and Anderson Sr. After all, although this law firm is smaller than others, no one dares to underestimate its ability .

In the end, there is no doubt that he took Carroll into consideration. Although he believed that old Anderson would be in business, and he had always done so, it was after all through his relationship with old Anderson that he got in touch with Harper Collins, a North American. One of the largest fiction publishers on the line, otherwise "Jurassic Park" would never have achieved such success in such a short period of time.

That being the case, under the same or similar circumstances, there is no need to trouble yourself, and he also believes that Anderson-Tonares, who can stand out in the industry, will show their ability and sincerity in this meeting of.

……

After the official meeting with old Anderson came to an end, Adam was going to implement another matter in the plan. After all, relatively speaking, this matter has changed from not being urgent to being imminent now.

"What?" Catherine's eyes widened when she heard Adam say that she was going to buy the small manor for sale in the Rich District, feeling incredible.

"I remember that the manor cost at least several million, bro, are you crazy?" Even Brett, who has always had a big brain, was shocked by Adam's words, but he didn't know that Adam had just become He became a multi-millionaire soon, when he thought about it, although Adam made some money from comics, he only had a dozen or two million dollars in his hands at most. As for a house with several million dollars, how could he afford it?

"But if you really want to buy it, I'm very supportive. After all, I've wanted a swimming pool for a long time." After Brett finished speaking, he imagined living in a shrunken version of Anderson Manor, and went to the swimming pool twice a day for free. Circle, isn't it flattering?

"Mom! I also want a swimming pool, so I can wear that pink swimsuit in the room." Michelle jumped up when she heard Brett mention the swimming pool, and said happily.

However, compared to the reactions of the two children, she was more cautious and conservative, so she thought a little more. She frowned and asked, "What happened? Then it's impossible for your character to act like this." Sudden decision."

"Things have changed." Adam hesitated, thinking about his words, trying not to arouse Catherine's worry: "You know that "Jurassic Park" has become a bestseller, and it may exceed tens of millions of sales this year. , so many Hollywood film companies want to buy the copyright of the novel and start filming. After the film company intervenes, tabloid reporters will inevitably get involved. If we go to the special mountain villa, it will be more reliable in terms of security and safety."

"You know, the houses in Dante Hills are not cheap." Listening to what Adam said, Catherine felt more and more that she could not keep up with his pace. Although she didn't agree with Adam's decision in her heart, she clearly felt that I don't have the confidence and voice that a mother should have at home.

"I have initially consulted, and the total price of the entire estate is around 150 million, but aren't you friends with Aunt Agatha, mother? You should be able to get a preferential price." Adam had already made an estimate in his heart. Catherine's inquiry revealed her previous plan.

"Okay, I'll talk to Agatha first to see what's going on. Even if I want to buy it, I'm not in a hurry." Catherine said that Adam had already made the overall plan, and she had no other opinions, and thought about it carefully. What Adam said is not unreasonable. In just one year, he has earned tens of millions of dollars. At this time, he is just an adult. No one can predict what kind of development Adam will have in the future. She can't help him along the way. He helps, but cannot hinder him.

"Of course, of course. Everything is up to you." Hearing Catherine let go, Adam naturally agreed with everything.

With the help of his mother, he can save a lot of effort, after all, mv comics are still hanging over his head from time to time, urging him to update.

Speaking of comics, I have to mention Charlie. Since the last time the two went to New York together, and after accepting the interview by themselves, they returned to the small town for Christmas.As for Charlie, he was promoted to an editor in the editorial team of the regular issue of MV comics by MV comics because of his excellent completion of the task after the year.

Therefore, I bid farewell to Adam after the year. As for the relationship between him and his mother, the two did not develop much due to various scruples, which would not affect his consideration of his own future development, and Adam also felt this He breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no matter how indifferent he was, he would still feel embarrassed when his mother was with his work partner.

Now the two are divided into north and south, east and west, and the contact is broken, which saves the entanglement, and mother Catherine, apart from feeling a little lost in the first two days, soon relieved.

The new editor is a young editor in his 20s. Compared with Charlie, he is more of a link. As for the content and plot, it is basically not involved. This makes Adam feel a little regretful, but now the plot It's also on track, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

And since it was serialized until now, "Druid", which has gradually cultivated a group of die-hard fans, has become more and more stable and robust in the market. Since the last "Tonight Show" effect, the sales volume has exceeded 60. It even touched the threshold of 70, and then the heat passed, and sales also fell back.

However, this drop is also compared to the horror sales of the last Christmas special. The sales volume of the single book in January is still impressive, and it has won a super sales volume of 61 copies, which is two times the number of No.2 "Batman Returns". Times, continue his road to consecutive championships.

Poor "Batman Returns", as a newly opened Batman series in the timeline, "Batman Returns" has received unanimous praise in terms of plot, and originally wanted to use this to completely establish his supreme status as a superhero However, unexpectedly, he encountered "Druid" who suddenly appeared like a demon star, and then he was completely crushed by the huge popularity gained through TV promotion.

However, although "Druid" continues to dominate the comic book industry in terms of sales, it can be predicted that as long as the quality of the comics does not collapse, at least until September, the sales volume of "Druid" can be maintained at more than 50 Super high sales.

However, as the author of this comic, Adam felt a sense of fatigue, almost constant plot setting, tedious comic creation, in order to complete the fixed tasks every month, he needed to spend hundreds of hours of hard work, and The income obtained is only tens of thousands of dollars.

For Adam today, the once life-saving straw has gradually become a tasteless rib. He is not willing to give up, but feels unbearable that it takes up a lot of his time and energy. Maybe it is time to make a decision?
