I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 446 Unexpected Visitor
Time passes quietly.

Before we knew it, it was already the end of April.

"Nemo 1" has been completed, with a total of 83,000 words.

Children's books should use the simplest words and sentences to tell the story clearly.

Too much fancy language is incomprehensible to children.

After completing Nemo 1, Liu Jin immediately began creating Nemo 2: Where Did Dory Go?

In his memory, the box office of "Outback 2" seemed to be 1.2 billion US dollars.

He waited until 25 years later, but the number 3 never appeared.

However, given his understanding of Hollywood's nature, there will definitely be a 3.
With a global box office of $3 billion, it would be an absolute injustice for Disney not to make a sequel.

Unfortunately, once it fell into Liu Jin's hands, it's estimated that version 3 will never appear again.

By the end of April, Shanghai was already getting quite hot.

Liu went to the film set less and less often, but the number of times Leslie Cheung and others came to bother him became more and more frequent.

Liu Jin didn't care about this.

Leslie Cheung brought him good news: Tang Tang had found out when Tencent would go public, apparently in June.

"Are you interested?"

"Kind of!"

"Planning to buy it?"

"Ok!"

"How about Tangtang helps you with it?"

"Sure...but do you know how many shares Tencent is issuing this time?"

"It seems to be 400 million shares. I heard from Tang Tang that Hong Kong Island is optimistic about Tencent, and the estimated issue price is HK$3 per share."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll transfer US$50 million into the Hong Kong Island account."

Buy as much as you can, acquire as much as you can!

"You idiot, are you crazy? Fifty million US dollars, more than three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, you want to buy Tencent all of it?"

"Yes!"

Is this stock really that good?

"I don't plan to speculate; I intend to hold the shares long-term."

If you have spare cash, you can buy it... In twenty years, I guarantee you'll make a fortune.

"I don't believe you for a second, you lunatic."

So, it's hard to reason with a damned devil!

At three Hong Kong dollars a share, do you know how much Tencent's Hong Kong shares will be worth in twenty years?

Before Liu Jin was reborn, he had already broken through five hundred!
The profit was nearly two hundred times.

Moreover, in 2014, Tencent underwent another restructuring, splitting itself into five entities, which presents a significant opportunity.

It can be said that after Tencent's listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, its equity incentive program continued for a full twenty years without diminishing.

Let's see if Leslie Cheung has the guts to follow this time!
……

The following day, Liu Jin transferred US$50 million to the Bank of China in Hong Kong Island through a client manager at the Americana branch of the Bank of China.

Mr. Tang made another phone call to confirm Liu Jin's request.

He said that Leslie decided to go crazy with Lau Chun and invested HK$100 million to follow suit.

Since his comeback, Leslie Cheung has amassed a considerable fortune.

However, HK$100 million is indeed a bit crazy.

This person truly considers Liu Jin a friend!

Unconditional trust.

Liu Jin then called Leslie Cheung and said with a smile, "Brother, you will definitely not regret your decision today."

"Damn it, I'm already regretting it!"

"Let me tell you, if I go bankrupt, I'll come to your house, eat and drink your food, and eat my way back that HK$100 million."

"No problem, you're always welcome!"

Liu Jin laughed heartily on the phone.

Just then, the doorbell rang!
Liu Jin hung up the phone and said as he walked out, "Coming, who is it?"

He opened the door, but froze.

He didn't recognize the person standing outside the door.

A middle-aged man in his early forties, with a thin and wiry face, wearing glasses, dressed impeccably, and exuding a scholarly air.

Who are you looking for?

"Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Amos Liu Jin?"

The newcomer was gentle and refined.

Liu Jin nodded. "That's me."

"My name is An Kang. I was introduced by Director Lu."

"Director Lu... uh, you mean Mr. Lu, who was previously stationed at DSG in France?"

"Yes!"

"Please come in quickly."

Liu Jin quickly made way and invited the other party in.

"Inside the house, or in the yard?"

"In the courtyard, the air is fresh... Mr. Liu's house is truly a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle."

"Haha, Dad bought it."

He first invited the other person to sit down, and then brought over a pot of tea from inside the house.

"It's a bit shabby... I don't usually live here. If I hadn't gone back to China for business, there would be hardly anyone here."

So please excuse the simple cup of tea.

"You're welcome..."

An Kang took a sip of tea and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lion Peak Mountain Longjing?" "It seems so. I usually drink tea, but I'm not particular about it."

My dad said I smoke and stay up late every day, so he got me two kilograms of this.

The other party must be someone in official circles.

Although he introduced himself and had Mr. Lu as his guarantor, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Liu Jin's words were also a warning to the other party: I don't care where you're from, my dad is awesome.

After all, the Longjing tea from Lion Peak Mountain refers to the origin of the eighteen imperial tea trees on Lion Peak Mountain, with an annual output of no more than 500 jin.

Nine out of ten of the so-called Lion Peak Mountain Longjing tea sold on the market is fake.

Ordinary people can't buy it.

Mr. An naturally understood what Liu Jin meant, so he smiled and put down his teacup.

"I used to be a teacher in the French Department of Wuhan University. I had the opportunity to read your book, The Old Man and the Sea, and I took the liberty of translating it."

However, the translated manuscript did not circulate before the book was published.

"Uh, I remember now!"

I knew it, this name sounded familiar.

The original plan of the Guangdong Provincial Translation Bureau was to find a renowned translator from Guangdong Province, but somehow it turned out to be Professor An Kang from Wuhan University.

However, his translation was quite good.

Liu Jin had read his translation and found it to have some of the style of Fu Lei.

Not only is he fluent in French, but he is also quite outstanding in traditional Chinese studies.

"Your translation is excellent."

"Thank you!"

An Kang smiled and said, "I have always worried that my level is not enough to translate a classic work like 'The Old Man and the Sea,' so I am very satisfied to receive your praise."

"You're welcome!"

Liu Jin added some tea for Mr. An.

Somewhat curiously, he asked, "I wonder why Mr. An is here this time..."

"That's right. I've received a transfer order from WJB and will be going to Paris early next month to serve as the First Secretary for Education at DSG."

"Forehead!"

Liu Jin drew out the sound.

Cultural exchanges between China and France have been frequent in the past two years.

Both countries attach great importance to cultural education and exchanges.

The First Secretary for Education probably handles matters related to culture and education...

So it seems like he wasn't wrong to come looking for Liu Jin.

After all, Liu Jin is currently in France and is a very famous figure in the cultural world.

"After I go back, I'll keep in touch with you."

"You're too kind. It should be me doing my best to assist you in your creative process."

After a few polite words, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Liu Jin could tell that Professor An probably wanted something from him. However, cultured people value their reputation, so they were hesitant to ask.

Liu Jin thought for a moment, then said, "Professor An, is the reason you came to see me this time about things in France?"

"No no no!"

Mr. An was a little embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.

"That's right, I have a daughter who currently works in the film and television industry."

But as you know, the film and television industry… I’ve heard that you, Mr. Liu, have extensive connections in the industry. I’m here today to ask for your help… it’s just that, it’s just that…”

Mr. An's fair face flushed slightly.

It's clear that he's a person who cares a lot about his reputation.

Presumably out of necessity, they found Liu Jin...

However, Liu Jin was a little puzzled. How did he find him?

You should know that he lives a very secluded life and is not a person in the film and television industry, so people may not even know that he exists.

"You want me to help your daughter find resources?"

"No, no, no, although she is young, she still has resources."

Her mother's presence provides her with some security. However, her resources are mostly within the television drama industry… Actually, I don't know much about that industry. I only heard about you from her mother.”

"Then you mean..."

Mr. An took a sip of tea and sighed softly.

Personally, I don't want her to develop her career in the film and television industry.

But she's influenced by her mother... and her mother has some connections, so I'm not too worried about resources. However, this industry... I've come here today hoping to use your connections to get her some preferential treatment.”

"care?"

You, a first-class secretary at DSG Education, are asking me, an international student, to take care of your daughter?
However, listening to Mr. An's hesitant narration gave Liu Jin a strange sense of familiarity.

Young age, abundant resources, and a mother to accompany her...

"Mr. An, may I ask your daughter's name?"

Also, do you have any other works?

"She has some works. Last year, she was one of the lead actresses in 'The Story of a Noble Family,' which premiered on CCTV."

"And your daughter is..."

"Her original name was An Feng. Later, after I divorced her mother, she took her mother's surname."

Her current name is Liu Yifei.

Liu Jin opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.
