Chapter 84： blind your eyes with diamonds
U.S., Hollywood, Tianchao Entertainment Company.
When Li Daniu arrived at his office, Louis from Sunshine Publishing House was already waiting inside.
Because Li Daniu told him before leaving that he had a new work.
"Your Majesty, it's a great honor to see you again." Louis kept his attitude very low in front of Li Daniu, but this had nothing to do with Li Daniu's status as king. The king of the country doesn't get along with him at all.
The reason why Louis is like this is entirely because Li Daniu can bring him enough benefits, which has been fully proved in the book "Lord of the Rings".
"Okay, don't flatter me." Although Li Daniu enjoyed the feeling of being respected by others, he still had to be humble on the surface.
"This manuscript, take a look."
Louis took the manuscript handed over by Li Daniu, but did not read it directly, and said: "You can sign the contract directly without reading the manuscript, and, before I came, I have successfully applied for you from the company's highest ranking in the American publishing industry. The share ratio, sixty percent."
Louis also took out a contract from his handbag and handed it directly to Castro who was standing aside.
Castro, as Tuvalu's national lawyer, was recently left by Li Daniu in the world of Hollywood in the United States. up.
"You don't even read what I write, and you dare to give me 60% of the royalties?" Li Daniu didn't expect that he could get such treatment just by publishing a copy of "The Lord of the Rings".
"Of course, as long as it is written by you, it deserves this treatment." Louis continued to flatter with a smile. In fact, the reason for this is entirely because they made too much money on Li Daniu's "Lord of the Rings" book .
Therefore, even if Li Daniu's book is badly written, it doesn't matter. In the worst case, it’s just a matter of earning less money for the last book. As long as you can get Li Daniu’s new work and maintain a good cooperative relationship with Li Daniu, then everything is worth it.
"Okay, let's sign the contract directly." Li Daniu turned his head and saw that Castro was still reading the contract word by word. Louis won't set me up."
"Your Majesty, this is my responsibility." Castro felt that he was ignored. As a lawyer, how could he be careless when reading the contract?
Besides, Castro firmly believes that despite what Li Daniu is saying now, if there is really a problem with this contract, then Li Daniu will definitely not take the blame, but will directly use this blame to put himself Stoned to death.
"Okay, okay, look carefully." Li Daniu didn't know that Castro was afraid of being blamed, but thought he was really responsible and thought of himself, so he was also happy.
"Your Majesty, you are truly blessed that your subordinates are so dedicated." Louis said with a smile beside him.
This flattery... Li Daniu felt like his head was about to break out in a cold sweat, why did he speak the same way as in novels and movies?
"Louis, do you have any professional jewelry appraisal agencies familiar with in the United States?"
"I have a friend who works at GIA." Louis asked, "Your Majesty, do you have jewelry that needs to be appraised? I can contact my friend and ask him to come over."
"GIA?"
"GIA is our jewelry appraisal school in the United States, and it is also a world-renowned jewelry appraisal institution." Seeing Li Daniu's blank expression, Louis explained: "It is the founder of the 4Cs of diamonds. Generally speaking, as long as it is GIA The certificate issued will be recognized anywhere in the world.”
so smart? Although Li Daniu has never heard of GIA, he has heard of the 4Cs of diamonds, which is a universal standard for judging the value of diamonds in the world. The 4Cs refer to weight, clarity, color and cut.
"Then let him come over, as soon as possible, I have a batch of diamonds, and I want to sell them after appraising them."
"Batch?" Louis felt that Li Daniu might have used the wrong word. After all, Li Daniu is not an American, so how can diamonds be described as a batch?
"Yes, there are probably hundreds of them." The hundreds of diamonds Li Daniu mentioned are all part of the loose diamonds brought back from the world of I am Legend. Jewelry and loose diamonds are undoubtedly easier to sell.
"How much?" Louis didn't care about the respectful title of Li Daniu at the moment, because this number is really astonishing, and since Li Daniu said that it needs to be appraised, it must not be the kind of diamond of one or two carats, because one or two carats Carat diamonds, whether identified or not, do not make much difference to the overall value.
"Hundreds of them." Seeing Louis' shocked face, Li Daniu took out a small bag from his pocket, untied the rope on the top of the seal, and poured all the diamonds inside on the table.
The sunlight shining into the office from the window was refracted by hundreds of pure and flawless diamonds with perfect facets. In an instant, the whole office shone brightly.
"I'm stupid!"
Louis completely lost the respectful look he had in front of Li Daniu before, so he swears directly, because the scene in front of him is really surprising. Louis believed that no matter who saw hundreds of diamonds poured out of a somewhat shabby little bag, and poured it on the table very casually, he would lose his composure just like himself.
As for why he was the only one who sweared, but Castro was able to keep silent, Louis wanted to say, it was because Castro was blinded by these diamonds, and he was so stupid, didn’t you see that his saliva was dripping out? ?
Seeing the appearance of Luis and Castro, Li Daniu smiled maliciously. The reason why he directly poured the diamonds on the table was to see if the reaction of Luis and Castro was the same as before.
Back then, when Li Daniu collected these diamonds, he acted more stupid than Castro and Luis, because what he saw at that time was much more than this, and there were even more valuable diamonds. Jewelry.
However, after holding these jewels for more than two months, Li Daniu was also immune to a certain extent. If Li Daniu was still in the world of I am Legend, then he would definitely be willing to exchange these diamonds for an authentic hotpot meal.
After all, there is no shortage of diamond jewelry in the last days, but enjoyment.
"Your Majesty...can you... put them away?" Louis stared at the shining diamonds on the table, swallowed hard, and gritted his teeth.
"Don't want to look at it again?" Li Daniu said with a smile: "I think they are still pretty pretty."
"I can't watch any more, I'm afraid I can't help but want to take it for myself." Louis closed his eyes, and he felt that just closing his eyes seemed to be exhausting. With all the strength of the whole body.
Take it for yourself? You have to have this ability, Li Daniu is confident now, as long as he is not surrounded by a regular army with more than one company and full equipment, no one can take his things away. Although the value of these diamonds is great, it is unlikely that anyone will use regular troops to rob them.
Li Daniu repacked the diamonds, picked two randomly from the inside, and threw them to Castro and Luis respectively.
"Whoever sees it has a share, and you can give it to your wives."
Castro and Louis hurriedly caught the diamond thrown by Li Daniu, and then both of them put the diamond back in front of Li Daniu with trembling hands.
"Your Majesty, this is too precious."
"Your Majesty, I can't bear it."
Seeing the two people rejecting at the same time, Li Daniu felt even happier. The reason why he presented it so openly was to test the two people. fly together.
"I never take back the things I send." Li Daniu smiled and said: "Take it, it's not too valuable."
Not too valuable? Louis knew it well. The three-carat diamond ring he bought for his daughter-in-law cost $70,000, not to mention these two bigger ones?
The value of a diamond has always been directly doubled according to its size and purity.
"this…"
