I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 7 Planning for the future

Chapter 7 Planning for the future
After returning to the room, Liu Jin washed his face with cold water.

Trying to calm himself down, he looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly smiled.

Be it rebirth or time travel.

Whether it's a parallel universe or the main world...

All in all, he has a chance to start over.

He lived a mess in his previous life.

What about this life?

……

I have been writing online articles for twenty-five years.

After returning to China, I never worked in any other industry.

Succeeded!
Down and out...

It doesn't matter anymore.

The key is how to live in this life.

Toulouse Business School is a very good school.

But it turned out that he was not a man suited to business.

Strong, cold-blooded, sharp-eyed, good at making promises, good at bragging, flexible... and extremely eager for wealth.

He has neither.

He is just an ordinary person who likes to live freely and as he pleases.

But he also knew that it would require financial support!

Continue writing online articles?
forget it!
He can't write simple prose, that requires talent.

But he doesn't seem to have this talent.

He does not have Xiao Qian's creativity, Xue Hong's imagination, San Shao's persistence and brains, nor Lao Mao's literary talent.

Besides, if online literature can still rise in the future of this world.

Who did he copy?
They are all old brothers and old friends. Even if they may never meet again in this world, we cannot take away their luck.

Therefore, he doesn't plan to touch online literature again.

Finance? Business? Or politics?
You can go into politics!
Although his parents have retired, they still have enough connections to get him into the system.

But that was not his dream.

In his previous life, he knew that if someone with his personality entered the system, he would be torn to pieces until not even a bone was left.

Business? Stocks? Politics? Technology?

He seems to be unable to do anything!

After much thought, it seems that after his rebirth, the only skill he has left is: plagiarism!
Actually, being a writer is pretty good.

Didn’t he also rely on writing to make a comeback in his previous life?
My life is just a workhorse!

Especially after learning that Hugo did not exist in this world, Liu Jin realized that he had grasped a treasure trove.

Hugo!
A trilogy!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide, and the royalties could make him a fortune.

What's more, it seems that this world is missing more than just Hugo.

Dickens, Hemingway, these were people he knew did not exist.

Is there anyone else?

It's really boring to fleece the Chinese people.

The best strategy is to fleece capitalism... because the royalties from foreign countries are high!
Liu Jin had investigated this in his previous life.

Take "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" for example. It has sold 30 million copies worldwide, not including China. The author earned over 100 million yuan in royalties from this book.

It's the euro.

The price of a book in Europe and the United States is 10 to 20 euros.

If it is a professional book, it will be more expensive.

So, plagiarism... bah, creation is the best choice for Liu Jin.

But what to write?
The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Misérables, 1993, and Toilers of the Sea are definitely classics and will generate huge returns.

But that takes time to settle.

Liu Jin even believed that even if he wrote it, it might not be recognized at first.

He needs to lay a solid foundation. Only after laying a solid foundation can he make a big splash and maximize his profits.

How to lay the foundation?

Fame!

Zhang Ailing said: Become famous as early as possible.

Liu Jin is already 25 years old, it's too late.

If you want to become famous quickly, you need cooperation from all aspects.

To use an old Chinese proverb: the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Indispensable.

As for the opportunities in the previous life, it is not impossible to speculate.

But no matter what, it takes money.

What he needs to do now is to accumulate capital as quickly as possible.

He now had a total of 150,000 francs.

One hundred thousand francs of this was earned while working in Japan.

Thirty thousand francs is tuition, and twenty thousand francs is living expenses... My mother said that she would transfer some more to him after he opened an account.

Fifty thousand at most?
I remember that in my previous life, my mother gave me 50,000.

It’s simply not enough!
In 1997, Jobs returned to Apple and began developing the iOS system.

In 1998, the iMac was launched, causing Apple’s stock, which had already hit rock bottom, to rebound.

But, this is a long process.

Liu Jin tried to recall it, and surprisingly, he remembered that by 2001, five years after Steve Jobs returned to Apple, Apple's stock price was only $1.3. By December 2024, 12, Apple's stock price had reached $26, with a market capitalization approaching $261 trillion. This seemed impossible in 4.

So, Apple is worth buying. Amazon is also good, I think it was only $2003 in 18.

And Tencent...

The old boss in the previous life.

I really want to appear in the board of directors one day, pat him on the shoulder and call him: Xiao Ma!

It’s so fucking exciting just thinking about it.

Liu Jin couldn't help but laughed.

He sat in front of the computer when an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

In fact, this thought came to me this morning, but it was not very clear.

Well, that’s when I found out that the coffee girl’s name was Emily.

Emily?
Liu Jin thought of a French movie.

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain!

That’s right, it’s this movie, the Chinese name is “Amelie”.

The protagonist in the story is called Emily.

However, it seems that the filming of this movie has already started.

As I recall, it was released in May 2001.

Liu Jin tilted his head and looked at the computer.

Suddenly, he opened the Yahoo search page again and typed in the name of Amelie.

In 2000, the Yahoo search engine was incredibly powerful.

You can search for various information.

For example, if you search for a celebrity, you can search his company, address, phone number, and various other information from Yahoo.

Later, there was a protest!

Yahoo has since become much more restrained and no longer provides detailed information.

There is no information about this movie.

Maybe it's because it's not famous, so it's not displayed?
Liu Jin closed his eyes, and after a moment, he entered Audrey Tautou in the search bar.

found it!
Information shows that he was born in 1976.

【Hey, one year younger than me. 】

This is the female lead of Amélie, who was born in Bermondsey, France, and is a true French actress.

Liu Jin used Yahoo France, so Audrey's information was complete.

There's her phone number, there's her address...

I have to say, Yahoo in 2000 was fucking wild.

In the future, if someone leaks his private information, he could end up paying a huge sum of money.

She just won the French film's highest award, the César Award for Best New Actress this year, and is currently filming a movie called "Margot" with Isabelle Adjani.

Ajani?
Of course Liu Jin knew it, it was a national treasure of France.

Before Sophie Marceau, she was the dream lover of French men.

But isn't she an actress? And she's the director of "Margot"?

As far as Liu Jin can remember, Ajani seems to have never been a director.

and so……

The confusion of parallel time and space?
Liu Jin discovered that his memory was amazing.

A lot of information from the previous life is firmly engraved in my mind.

If we calculate based on the time, Audrey should be filming Amelie now.

But she was filming a movie called "Margot" which Liu Jin had no impression of at all?
correct!

Liu Jin remembered something and entered Guillaume Laurent's name in the search bar again.

This is the screenwriter of Amelie.

He is also an actor.

I'm on a show called "A Weekend on Earth".

its not right!
Liu Jin knew about this movie.

In his previous life, he was obsessed with the film industry for a while.

Although I am not a professional actor, I have actually watched all the films required by Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama and Shanghai Theatre Academy.

He had it one weekend on Earth.

But as I recall, this movie was released in 1996.

It's already 2000, why are they still filming?

So, no Amélie, right?

In other words, Guillaume hasn't written the script yet, and may not even have the idea.

Do you want to take a risk?
Liu Jin was a little confused.

Look at the photo of Guillaume on the web page.

He has a typical European face shape, very short hair, and looks very energetic.

This guy's main job is screenwriter, and his side job is actor.

wrong!

If he had any inspiration, he would have gone into a small dark room to write long ago. Why would he run to the crew of "Earth" to be an actor?

Thinking of this, Liu Jin smiled.
