The Richest Man in the World of Film and Television

Even the TV station's morning news broadcast the clips of William's interview yesterday. People watched this handsome, smart and rich young man talking freely in front of the reporters, but what he said was justified. Convincing, it made William an instant celebrity all over England.

Many tabloids also focused on reporting that William had confessed his love to a girl in middle school. They even found that girl and made an exclusive interview. At that time, she regretted not accepting William, and hoped that William would give her another chance.

William was so shocked by these tabloids that he couldn't even remember what that girl looked like now.

The disadvantage of being famous in the whole society is that both William and Lena can't leave home now, and a large number of reporters outside the home are waiting for him, trying to get some big news from him.

Even the two office workers who rented at his house almost couldn't walk out of this street this morning. As soon as the two female white-collar workers went out, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters and asked a lot of questions. In the end, the police stepped forward to help Only then did they get rid of this group of reporters.

Even the Duke of Devonshire, who usually doesn't show up much, was caught by reporters and asked a lot about his relationship with the William family.

The old duke was still very close to the people. He said with a smile that he was very happy that the Devonhill family could produce such an outstanding offspring as William. When he was young, he met William's grandfather, Henry Winster Devonhill. The two had a good chat.

Although William has lost contact with them, as the blood of the same ancestor, the old Duke hopes that William can visit him some time, and he welcomes William and his mother to his house.

When the reporter heard the old duke admit that William is really a descendant of the Devonhill family, they all reported like chicken blood.

William sighed to his mother Lena after reading these reports, this ginger is still old and hot, reading the large-scale report on the history of the Devonshire family in the newspaper, the newspaper advertised for Devonshire to the whole of England for free, it is really amazing The older you get the smarter you are.

William has been stuck at home for 3 days. In these 3 days, many big companies have sent people to London to find William. They want to negotiate privately with William. William talks about co-publishing Plants vs. Zombies toys.

William will not agree at this time, but will reply to every company that comes to him in the past few days and negotiate at the Hilton Hotel on February 2th.

To be honest, William thought about keeping the copyright of Plants vs. Zombies in his hands, but after 2 days of careful thinking, he decided to sell the copyright.

The copyright in his own hands is different from that in the hands of those big companies. First, he has no sales channels, so he has to authorize other companies in the end. It is too difficult and time-consuming to build channels by himself. With that time and He might as well start some new projects with energy.

Second, Nasdaq is about to collapse very soon. IT-related companies will have a very difficult time in the next two years, and their stock prices will drop sharply. I might as well take advantage of the highest stock price in the IT industry to sell the game. good price

At that time, after the stock market has jumped, buy the stocks of companies with bright prospects. Many companies have seen their share prices rise dozens or even hundreds of times after more than ten years.

Thirdly, if he keeps the game in his hands, he is really afraid that he will not be able to keep it. Capital has no sense of justice and reason to tell you. If you keep it in your hands, a large number of people will try their best to grab the game copyright from William. The game is so famous now, and everyone has no objection that the game can increase the stock price.

Fourth, he will put the money from selling copyrights into the NASDAQ stock market to short. He only wants to be a short-term short-seller, and he can make at least 5 times the profit in a few months.

At that time, he will keep 40% of his money in England, and after he goes to Switzerland, he will use the money left in the Bank of England as collateral, plus the money from offshore companies will enter the stock market in Switzerland, and the money he earns will stay in Switzerland. Without entering his account in England, he didn't have to pay a dime to the English government.

Even if the English government finds out, the government can't do anything about William. If I don't enter England, what can you do with me.

At that time, if you want to buy, you can use offshore companies to buy or buy shares.

Chapter 18. Chapter Eighteen

On February 2th, William woke up early, put on the formal suit ordered by a private tailor on Oxford Street a few days ago, and tied his tie with the help of his mother Lena. The staff of the Hilton Hotel had already driven to pick him up.

The whole of England is paying attention to the game auction today. How could the Hilton Hotel give up on such a matter of concern? In addition to the leak of the recording at their hotel last time, the Hilton Hotel will not accept the meeting today so that William can continue to hold meetings in their hotel. For one pound, William will send a free car and bodyguard to pick him up. After the auction, there will be a free reception and a Platinum card with a 6% discount for William Worldwide Hilton Hotel stay.

Since Hilton was so sincere, he didn't bother to find another venue, and there was nothing to keep secret about today's auction.

Fortunately, there were bodyguards here, otherwise it would be very difficult for William to leave home easily and go to the Hilton Hotel.More than a dozen bodyguards almost failed to protect William when he went out. Today's reporters are very irritable, and everyone wants to get first-hand news from William.

After arriving at the Hilton Hotel, Anthony's law firm has already contacted the auctioneer for William. The hotel staff is making final preparations. William doesn't need to say anything on stage today. After these days of indiscriminate bombardment by the media, today's Everyone knows about the auction.

Companies that are interested in the game will definitely send people here. Now everything depends on the strength to determine the whereabouts of the game copyright, even if William says not to sell it.

He signed a contract with a law firm, and the company that came to the auction today has also signed a contract with the law firm, unless no one bids for [-] million pounds today, and the game fails, but that is impossible. A few days more than ten times, according to William's knowledge from Anthony, many medium-sized companies have joined forces, and after they are ready to take the auction, they will divide the agency rights on a continent-by-continent basis.

William met a lot of people in the hotel venue, and everyone was very optimistic about William. After all, this young man alone can be worth dozens of elites.

After 9 o'clock in the morning, the auctioneer came to the stage to greet today's auctioneers and the auction officially started.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good morning, I am Christie's Gold Gloves, I am serving you today, I am very happy to host this auction, well, gentlemen and ladies, the auction has officially started"

After speaking, the auctioneer picked up a document bag and said jokingly to everyone: "This is a bag of paper worth more than 300 million pounds, and each piece of paper in it is worth [-] million pounds. You won't feel bad when you get it."

"Hahaha,,," everyone in the venue laughed heartily. They knew that the bags contained copyright books, but they were indeed a bag of paper.

"Okay, just kidding, gentlemen, the document in my hand is a letter of commitment jointly issued by the three major law firms in London, guaranteeing that the full copyright of the Plants vs. Zombies game is in the hands of Mr. William Devinhill, and there is no copyright The dispute is completely in the hands of the owner, and this transaction will be underwritten by the largest insurance company in England to ensure that the buyer pays off the money within 7 days after the auction. If there is a breach of contract, the insurance company will claim twice the auction amount. Mr. Do you have any questions?"

The auctioneer waited for a minute, and seeing that no one had objected, he picked up the auction hammer and said loudly to everyone in the venue: "Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting moment has arrived. The starting price for the full copyright of Plants vs. Zombies is 1 million yuan." Pound sterling, shooting now."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price is £[-] million, please bid"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, someone raised a placard, "[-] million"

The auctioneer looked at the person holding the placard and said loudly: "Mr. No. 19 bid [-] million pounds, is there any other bids?"

"500 million"

"1000 million"

The price was 1000 million within a few rounds, and William sat on the bottom seat and was happy for his wit, which was all thanks to what he said to the reporter the day before yesterday.

"2000 million" William saw that the people from Best Star made an offer again.

The Disney guy bid "500 million"

At this price, the buyers hesitated to bid. William saw that the person in charge of Jiarefu didn't even make a bid, as if he was watching the fun. Just now at the venue, he swore to William that their board of directors was not Authorized to him, Jiarefu will fight for the ownership of the game with all its strength. Does this mean that it will use all its strength?You've lost all thought of showing off, and this little money scares you?

"3000 million" the representative of Best Star looked at the Disney man through gritted teeth.

This time, the Disney sign holder stopped for a long time. The assistant next to him has been on the phone, and it seems that he is still reporting to the headquarters.

"There are still no bids, the first bid, the second bid"

Before the final bid of "300 million", Disney finally raised the price.

Everyone in the audience can see that the people from Best Star now look at the Disney people as if they are enemies. The appearance of Disney has cost them a lot of money.
