Chapter 695: Get famous as soon as possible

After Monroe left, Jiang Hao picked up the phone and called the lawyer, "Secretary Robert, I am Jon Hall, please come here, I have the money ready."

"Are you going to pay the other party 30,000 US dollars?" said the lawyer in surprise.

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hao took out all the money he had harvested last night and put a full coffee table. Jiang Hao counted it one by one and finally came up with a number of $625,700, which was definitely a big sum of money in the United States in the 1960s.

Take out 30,000 dollars from it and put it on the table. This is the ransom for Monroe.

An hour later, attorney Robert came over and saw the thick stack of money on the table. The lawyer spread his hands and said, "Mr. Hall, I think if I sue the agency, I can at least suppress the price by more than half. Even if the judge leans towards them, he will not be able to follow his request."

Speaking of this, lawyer Robert lowered his voice and said, "And I also heard a news that it seems that Don Stark, the boss of the 3K gang, was assassinated last night. Now that agency company has less influence on the judges. If you leave this case to me, you can save a lot of money at most two months."

Jiang Hao smiled, "I just want to get the contract as soon as possible, the faster the better, preferably today."

"I have full entrusted this matter to you, Lawyer Robert. Of course, if you can help me save money, I will naturally be happy. Here is 30,000, and you can get one-fifth of the savings. The lawyer's fee is calculated on a single basis." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Robert's eyes lit up. He asked Jiang Hao to sue before, so that he could get more lawyer fees after a while.

"Mr. Hall, you are such a smart person who can win the hearts of women and spend less money, but I think one-third is more reasonable." Robert said with a smile.

"One-third, it seems a bit too much."

"I will do my best to do my best."

Jiang Hao didn't plan to get entangled with this little money, "Okay, that's one-third. I hope to see Monroe's contract before dinner today."

"I will do my best!"

After signing the power of attorney, Robert happily left with the money. I have to say that the magic of money is endless.

At noon, Lawyer Robert came back, took out a contract from his bag and put it in front of Jiang Hao, "Mr. Hall, Ms. Marilyn Monroe's contract, from now on, this contract has been transferred to you, that is, you have the same rights as the brokerage company for Ms. Monroe."

Then he took out a stack of money from his bag and put it on the table, "Mr. Hall, this is $10,000, I saved you. I talked with Ms. Monroe's agent Blanks for a long time, including what happened last night at Don Stark Manor. Blanks immediately softened and agreed to hand over the contract for $15,000."

"According to our previous verbal agreement, I got the remaining third, and that $5,000 I have withheld."

Lawyer Robert's face was full of smiles at this moment. A small case made him make a lot of money, and the money had nothing to do with the law firm, so he could completely put it in his pocket.

Maybe I can buy the sports car I like, and when I came back, lawyer Robert thought of this.

Jiang Hao didn't care much about the remaining 10,000 yuan. He picked up Monroe's contract and read it carefully from beginning to end. He had read a lot of legal books, and now this contract is completely fine.

"It's very good, thank you for your work at Lawyer Robert." Jiang Hao put away the contract and said to Robert with a smile.

"Mr. Hall, if there is anything I need to help in the future, even if you call, you have my business card." Robert was ready to take on this big customer, but he was still a refreshing customer.

When Robert said that, Jiang Hao really remembered something, "Robert, can I call you like this?"

"certainly,"

Robert said with a smile that being able to make friends with customers is the highest level of a salesperson.

"Robert, I wonder if you are familiar with the publishing industry?"

“Publishing, what do you mean?”

"I am a writer. I have written 2 books and want to find a publishing house to publish. I want to find someone to help me operate, contact the publishing house, and get all the contracts done at the same time." Jiang Hao said.

"Are you preparing to publish a book for regular publication, half-payment or full-payment?" Robert asked.

Regular publishing means submitting books to publishers. The publisher believes that they have publishing value and publishing and distribution are put into the market. The author's income is mainly royalty, just as Mr. Zhiyi and Jiang Hao said before.

The royalties of well-known writers are high. Of course, it is mainly because the celebrity effect of others works, which can ensure a certain sales volume. The royalties of new writers are very small, and two or three percent are normal. In many cases, it is already very happy that the authors of newcomers can publish their books.

Semi-self-paid manuscripts are of high quality. Both the author and the publisher expect the issuance market to be very good. A way for both parties to cooperate in issuance. Of course, win-win interests and shared risks are also shared. This method is more popular in later generations.

There is no need to explain the self-paid issuance. Many of them are because no one likes it. The author feels that he can succeed. He pays out of his own pocket to buy the version number, print, and pays for the publisher to operate. In short, all the risks are borne by the author.

Jiang Hao thought about it and made money by writing books, but the money he earned was dispensable to him. What he wanted was to be famous, and whether or not he was famous was secondary. More importantly, his works should be famous, which would be of great help to his future film plans.

A big one of the movies adapted from novels is called Big IP in modern times.

"Semi-self-paid, you can pay for it yourself. I hope it will be as soon as possible. Of course, on the premise of ensuring my interests." Jiang Hao said.

Just looking at Jiang Hao's attitude towards money, Robert has already concluded that he is a rich man. Robert thought to himself that being rich is good. If you want to publish a book, you can publish it even if no one buys it.

"Of course, it is my responsibility to guarantee the interests of the client."

"This part can be given to me. I will operate you. We will sign a formal contract. You will hand over the manuscript to me. I will help you talk to the publisher." Robert said with a smile.

The two officially signed the contract. Jiang Hao took out two thick file bags from the cabinet. Robert opened it curiously and read out the title of the book written on the manuscript, ""The Dream of the Bridge of the Covered Bridge" and "Smelling the Incense and Knowing Women."

Jiang Hao wrote "The Unforgettable Dream of the Bridge" very quickly, with few words. It took only half a day to finish it. "Smelling the Incense to Know a Woman" is the second book that Jiang Hao started. This book has a lot of words and needs to be adapted in some places. In the past few days, Jiang Hao has been working on this book in addition to robbing.

Robert looked up at Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao nodded at him. Robert squeezed out a smile, "Okay, I will operate them with great care, Mr. Hall."

Lawyer Robert was very happy when he left. He received the attorney fee for the previous business, received a commission of $5,000, and got a new business. Mr. Hall is really a big client.

Back at the law firm, Robert happily handed over the order and paid the attorney's fees. He returned to his office, made a cup of coffee, and tasted it easily on the chair.

"This is the first time I have received such a business, but it doesn't matter. As a lawyer, you can learn if you don't understand it, and the most important thing is business."

Open the briefcase and take out the manuscript given to him by Jiang Hao. Before doing a case, you must first understand the content of the case in depth. This is a basic requirement for being a lawyer.

To be honest, Robert is not very optimistic about Jiang Hao's novels. He is ready to accept the torture for several hours. In his opinion, that Mr. Hall is definitely a rich young man.

It takes tens of thousands of dollars for a small model. Oh, tens of thousands of dollars, what kind of woman can't play?

Although the woman named Marilyn Monroe is very beautiful and sexy, he still thinks it is not worth spending tens of thousands of dollars. She is just a young model and is not a big star. There are so many beautiful women that they are not worth anything in New York.

Young Master writer, haha, I don’t know what he would write yet. He looked at two manuscripts, "The Dream of the Bridge" and "Smelling the Incense and Knowing Women", which one should I read first?

In the end, he chose "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women" because the book contains two words "Women". I wonder if the writer of the young master wrote the story of him and the young model rolling on the bed, and the young master smelled the fragrance of women.

Maybe that would be more refreshing.

When he opened the manuscript, Robert began to look, and his mind kept reminding himself that this was work, work.

But slowly, he was attracted by the content of this book.

A blind officer, a straightforward and shy middle school student, an unexpected encounter, a "sexy" tango, a random racing and a hearty speech, a journey of the heart, a story about withering and rebirth.

The original work of "Smelling the Scent of Love" is the work of Italian writer Giovanni Alpino. It was published in 1969. Its original name was "Dark and Honey". It is a story of an Italian officer. It is somewhat obscure and boring and is not appreciated at the beginning.

Jiang Hao's book is adapted from the content of the movie. The characters and stories are moved to the United States. The content is more vivid, sharp language and rich plots, which are naturally much more attractive than the original work, otherwise they would not have won the Oscar for Best Picture.

When he raised his head, he found that more than two hours had passed and he had read half of the book, but the story behind him still attracted him deeply. He looked at the sun setting west outside the window and decided to finish reading it tonight.

He stood up and stretched his waist, came to the coffee machine, and looked at the rising heat of the hot water that was slowly boiling, Robert suddenly realized that this book was so good, and as long as it was well promoted, it would definitely become a bestseller. It seemed that he had underestimated the playboy before.
Chapter completed!
