Chapter 201 Game of the Brave

Bufalino is a professional lawyer. Although he was very unhappy with Xian Yaowen's appetizing behavior, he switched over well and quickly shifted his attention to patents.

Another lawyer rushed over and handed an envelope with the easy-pull ring drawings to Bufalino, completing the last link in the patent ownership evidence chain. One person retired and waited for activation, while the rest continued to advance.

Bufalino immediately exclaimed after reading the drawings: "What a genius design, Mr. Hepburn, this patent will bring you huge returns."

"Call me Adam, and there's a woman who inspired me, so I'll give her 30 percent of the proceeds, and Attorney Bufalino..."

Bufalino smiled and interrupted Xian Yaowen, "Adam, you can call me Bill."

"OK, Bill, I also plan to leave the job of selling licenses to you, so, to be precise, three people will each get a good profit."

"Ha, that's really good news. Adam, who do you want to sell the license to, Coca-Cola or Pepsi?"

"We will sell it to whoever pays more. My idea is to sell the license once and for all. The buyer does not need to pay us for subsequent production, but for third-party licenses, we need to pay us 50% or 40% of the license fee."

Bufalino pondered for a moment, "Maybe we can't get such a good ratio. Both are large companies, which are not easy to deal with. The asking price is too high, and there will be various traps set in the future payment."

"Bill, you need to use your expertise to tell them not to bully others too much."

"I will, but you have to be mentally prepared."

"I see."

The two chatted happily, and Bufalino started working that night.

As soon as she went to work the next day, Jane was called over by Xian Yaowen and signed one document after another under Bufalino's explanation.

First of all, Xian Yaowen and Jane jointly hold a new company in the name of a company. The main asset of the new company in the future is the patent of the easy-pull ring. The income distribution method is that Bufalino takes 6% first, and Xian Yaowen takes the remaining part. Divided into pieces with Jian.

Jane has been in a state of disbelief since she first arrived and signed her name one by one. That day Xian Yaowen said that she had an inspiration. At first she thought Xian Yaowen was teasing her. Later, although she believed it was an inspiration to make money, she still felt Xian Yaowen was teasing her about buying a house or a car. She might get dozens or hundreds of dollars, but looking at the formal attitude today, it would definitely not be small money.

Halfway through signing in, she pulled Xian Yaowen into the corridor.

"Adam, tell me, how much will it cost?"

Xian Yaowen touched Jane's cheek and said, "If everything goes well, there will be a lot, enough to make you become another person."

"I bought you a can of beer, and then you gave me a lot of money and I became the heroine of a fairy tale?"

"I've told you that it was you who inspired me, and I grabbed this inspiration and had the ability to convert it into a lot of money. Jane, you can be grateful that you are lucky to have met a good person like me, But there is no need to be burdened, you deserve 30%, and you can accept it with peace of mind."

"really?"

"Yes, let's go back and sign the remaining documents and realize the inspiration as soon as possible." Xian Yaowen hugged Jane back to the office and said, "How are you and Jacob?"

"Yes, he was at my place last night."

"Remember to just tell me what you need. I don't want you to worry about where to put my gifts."

"It's too early to say this, but I will."

"uh-huh."

Sign a contract, entertain Rosser Reeves, introduce "Playboy" to him, the creativity of the magazine is recognized, Rosser Reeves promises to recommend it to customers, but Xian Yaowen wants to give a preferential contract.

This means signing a longer contract at a lower price for advertising. In this way, Rosser Reeves will have room to show his discernment. Xian Yaowen is naturally willing to cooperate, but in terms of contract time It is stuck for half a year and cannot be extended any longer, otherwise the advantage of getting the money first will be flattened.

After the intention was finalized, Xian Yaowen arranged for someone to take over the subsequent work. He himself focused on the content of the first issue of the magazine, as well as some work that seemed unrelated to the magazine, but was very important.

The structure of the flower club cannot be said to be complete, but there are already a lot of people. Xian Yaowen can give orders and instruct his men to complete the work. Yang Leimeng is ordered by him to go around, negotiate cooperative hotels, find exclusive stylists and hairstylists, and find people willing to do some private work. doctor.

The Flower Society constantly invites public figures to come to New York, and public figures mean trouble, trouble in themselves, and the trouble they bring. In order to prevent other people's troubles from becoming their own troubles, there is a lot of work that needs to be done.

"Adam, what do you think?"

Xian Yaowen does not have his own independent office, nor does he have a secretary to help him stop visitors. His work station is like a public toilet, and it is free, so anyone can come if they want.

Just like Catherine, who is in good condition, she is a frequent visitor to public toilets. She comes frequently and feels free to do so.

"Kathy, sit on my wits with your big ass."

Catherine raised her butt, moved the documents underneath, and continued to place the design sketch in front of Xian Yaowen.

Xian Yaowen glanced at it and continued to look down at the documents on the table, "Read it after me, Xianshi... Yes, Xianshi, I also have a newspaper in Hong Kong that specializes in publishing Xianshi News. All of them are the most attractive parts of our magazine. That part, I believe the editor-in-chief there will be very fond of the design.”

Catherine took a look at her design sketch and asked, "What's the problem? Are the breasts not big enough?"

"No, I suggest you go home and ask Mr. McCarthy when you are most charming in his eyes." Xian Yaowen shook his tired left hand and picked up the pen with his right hand to continue writing.

He had too many things to write in the past two days. In order to prevent his hands from getting too tired, he had to change his hand from time to time. He is used to writing with his left hand, but he can also write with his right hand, but not fluently. With the blessing of "Xian Yaowen", he can draw his bow left and right, and can write two completely different styles of fonts, which belong to two people and have no connection with each other. .

"He finds me charming all the time."

"Yeah, I know, otherwise he wouldn't marry you." Xian Yaowen raised his head, "I believe you understand what I mean. Beautiful things need exquisite decoration, and the same goes for the body. Casey, you know the Codpiece ?"

"The stuff that Europe used to store your men's stuff in the 15th century."

"Yes." Xian Yaowen nodded, "Its original function is to cover things that are inconvenient for others to see, but in fact it has developed to highlight the majestic existence of men. Some people stuff cotton and money inside, and some people give it It is set with diamonds and BlingBling is eye-catching.

Let’s talk about garters. Today, garters have little practicality. Well, I mean ordinary women. Female agents can use them to hide knives and guns, strippers can use them to stuff money, and ordinary women can use them to do sex. What? "

As he spoke, he glanced at Kathy's thigh, "The answer is in your heart and on your lap. Opening gifts can make people's hearts beat faster. Kathy, don't deprive readers of this pleasure."

Catherine smiled and said, "I thought you preferred to be more direct."

"Obviously not, you can leave."

"Am I bothering you?" Catherine stood up from the table and while stroking the folds of her buttocks, her eyes drifted across the table. She saw the tickets for the Broadway show and asked, "Are you going to see the show?"

"Yes."

"Oh, have a nice weekend."

"Thanks, you too."

Catherine left, and after a while, the next one came on. Xian Yaowen's thoughts had to keep switching, quickly entering a conversation, and then quickly putting it down.

Graphics, illustrations, photos, text, typesetting, coffee, printing paper, pencils, all kinds of trivial things.

Today is Friday, but it does not prevent Xian Yaowen from working overtime at all, even though it is already the Dragon Boat Festival in Hong Kong 12 hours earlier.

The strange thing is that there is not much festive atmosphere in the Xian family.

In the dining room, a girl was devouring her food. Xian Yaowu sat next to her, refilling her plate with water from time to time.

"Zhen, eat slowly, don't choke."

Azhen's mouth was bulging and she answered vaguely, "Brother Yaowu, I've been hiding in Huashan for a whole day. I haven't eaten for several meals and I'm starving."

"Don't be anxious if you're hungry, no one will compete with you." Xian Yaowu pushed back Ah Zhen's hair that was hanging down to prevent her from eating, and watched her eat quietly.

a long time.

Azhen burped. She was finally full and had the strength to cry.

She threw herself into Xian Yaowu's arms and burst into tears, "Brother Yaowu, my father and mother have all gone to Yangtang Mountain... A fighting hero and cadre who went south has taken a fancy to me and wants me to be his wife. Oh oh oh, I don't want it." , he is in his forties and his face is scary..."

Leprosy is an incurable disease, and those who are sick can only be isolated. There is an old leprosy village halfway up Yangtang Mountain. People nearby who suffer from leprosy are usually sent there.

From A-Zhen's intermittent words, Xian Yaowu understood two things. One was that his uncle and aunt were all infected with leprosy and were sent to Yangtang Mountain. The other was that a disabled cadre in his forties who went south wanted to marry A-Zhen. This was the second thing. The two points should be the reason why Azhen wants to run to Hong Kong.

Xian Yaowu stroked Azhen's back and said comfortingly: "Azhen, don't cry, don't cry. Brother Yaowu and Brother Yaowen will take care of you in the future. Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay..."

There was a steady patter, and A-Zhen cried for a long time. With her stomach full and her heart relieved, she cried and fell asleep.

After sending the person to Building 2 to settle down, Xian Yaowu ran to the phone company, hung up a call to Xian Yaowen's room, and explained the matter.

It was around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and Xian Yaowen had just fallen asleep. Xian Yaowen was a little irritable, especially because he was woken up by something about Wenchangwei, not business matters.

But who asked him to occupy someone else's body? He can only suffer.

“Let’s make it clear which A-Zhen first.”

Among Xian Yaowu's generation in Wenchangwei, the male name is Yao and the female name is Zhen. Although the female ones are not too particular and can be given random names, most of them are called Xian × Zhen.

"From my fourth uncle's house."

"It's her."

A little girl's face appeared in Xian Yaowen's mind. She had fair skin and good looks. She was the most beautiful girl of his generation.

"Yuzhen is fourteen or fifteen this year?" "Fifteen, brother, don't worry about age for now. Azhen's matter is a bit troublesome. What if that cadre seeks trouble in the village?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said: "You can think of it, Uncle Guang Bing can naturally think of it. If something happens, Uncle Guang Bing will not be able to let Yuzhen go to Hong Kong. Silly boy, you have no political acumen at all. Bao'an is the front line of anti-special forces." , the decadent indulgence of capitalism is right under your nose, you have to realize it yourself.”

"Hehehe." Xian Yaowu giggled a few times, "Brother, how will we arrange Azhen?"

"A cousin is also a younger sister. The eldest brother is like father, and the second brother is like mother. Let's raise her as a daughter, then order a car, send Yuzhen to Huangren College to study, add a piano, and let her learn from Amin. Qin, also, tell Peipei that we will build another building No. 6 with the same standards as Building No. 1, and we will talk about the rest when I get back."

"I understand, brother, please go to sleep."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xian Yaowen thought about where to go to find two younger sisters. One Xian Yuzhen was not enough.

In ancient times, there were marriages between princesses, but now there are marriages between sisters. The appearance of Xian Yuzhen is not a bad thing for Xian Yaowen, and he will naturally not treat her badly. The life of a young lady, studying in prestigious schools all the way, getting a master's degree from a good foreign university, and going back to be married. In the future, she will marry into a famous family and become a rich wife, and her life will be perfect, and she will envy hundreds of millions of women who feel sorry for themselves and marry the wrong daughter.

……

Saturday.

Xian Yaowen still has no time to spare.

During the day, he read the newspaper in the flower club's office for a long time and was busy for a few hours. In the evening, he sat in a restaurant near Broadway.

It is a very traditional bar-style restaurant. There is a large bar with high stools for guests to have a drink. There is a row of seats on the side. It is not big, so two people can sit across from each other, but four people are a bit crowded.

Broadway theater, broadly speaking, is a theater gathering area. There are dozens of theaters of various sizes in adjacent blocks. There are performances almost every day, 365 days a year, attracting people who like to watch stage plays. If you gather here, the business of nearby restaurants will naturally be good.

It's not yet dinner time, and many of the early-arriving viewers will choose to have a drink in the restaurant. The restaurant is very lively, and the bar is 80% full, with both men and women. There are two women together who will glance at Xian Yaowen from time to time. Among them One drank the dry martini in the glass, picked up the lollipop and put it in his mouth, then walked straight to Xian Yaowen.

"Hey, come to the show?"

"uh-huh."

Xian Yaowen looked at the bird and nodded.

"Do you have a female companion?"

"No, I have a date with my boyfriend."

Hearing this, Jilaiqiao suddenly showed a disgusted expression, "You are so disgusting."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hell." Jiraiya spat again and returned to his seat with anger.

"hehe."

Xian Yaowen didn't like sparrows, let alone ones that didn't suit his taste. With a chuckle, he lowered his head and continued reading the letter.

Before leaving the office, he checked the mailbox and found two personal letters from it, one from Singapore, sent by Cai Jinman, and one from London, sent by Hepburn.

At this time, he was reading Cai Jinman's letter.

The words on the two pieces of letter paper were full of greetings and inquiries. The words were warm and emotional, and his heartstrings were stirred.

After reading it, I stuffed the letter paper back into the envelope and picked up another letter.

There are three pieces of letter paper. The first one has nothing to do with the other two. It is the receipt for entrusting Hepburn to do something. The second one starts with the text of the letter. In the letter, Hepburn talked about her current situation and her performance in "Tata Sauce" was very special. Success, her information was published in newspapers and magazines, and she gained a certain degree of popularity and began to play small roles in movie crews.

At the end of the letter, Hepburn mentioned that a man named James Hanson was pursuing her, and introduced this man's situation in five elements. His family ran a truck manufacturing business and was quite wealthy.

After talking about James Hansen, there was a big change of topic. She said that the water pipe in the room was leaking and the floor was soaked. She was beaten by the resident downstairs. Then she asked him when he would go to London. .

After reading the letter, he knew that Hepburn was not mature enough, and that his pace was faster than expected. Hepburn was no longer as important to him as originally expected. Besides, a good relationship had been established, and there was no need to have romantic feelings. .

When he arrived in London, he became a bad guy and ended the ambiguity between the two.

He put the letter away, took a sip of wine, and glanced aimlessly towards the bar. When his eyes passed by Jilai Que, he felt a blank stare and resentment. He ignored it and continued to scan forward. He looked through the entire restaurant and found no one. It's pleasing to the eye, but I can't help but be a little disappointed.

Just as he was about to look away, from the corner of his eye, he saw a Chinese man opening the door and walking into the restaurant. After he stood still, he looked around.

He raised his hand and waved to the other party, who saw this and walked up to him.

"Mr. Xian?"

"I am. Please sit down, Mr. Cai."

As soon as Cai Zhiyong sat down, his eyes collided with Xian Yaowen's in the air. Xian Yaowen chuckled and gave in, allowing Cai Zhiyong to take a step ahead of him to look at him. He then looked at the other person leisurely.

Probably due to overuse of the brain, Cai Zhiyong's hair is very thin. It will become a hurdle when he reaches forty. By then, the hair in the middle of the head will probably be laid off. His eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are relatively ordinary, and there is no distinguishing feature, except for the ears. It is relatively large, close-fitting, and does not attract the wind. A fortune teller will definitely praise it when he sees it.

At about the same time, Cai Zhiyong ended his observation and came to the conclusion that the appearance was dignified and invisible. He could not see any of the characteristics of Xian Yaowen that Yang Leimeng had introduced to him before. I wonder if it was because of his poor eyesight or Xian Yaowen. Can disguise.

"Where is Mr. Cai's job?"

"Providence Textile Company."

"It's a coincidence that we are peers. I mainly run the garment business in Hong Kong." Xian Yaowen said briefly and then changed the topic to stocks, "Mr. Cai, what do you think of American investors' views on stocks?"

Cai Zhiyong blurted out without thinking: "I think American investors are too conservative in stock investment. They only buy stocks for dividends. A company that can provide stable dividends will be favored by them. They never want to benefit from the fluctuation of stock prices." Making money is stable, but it won't bring big profits. In my opinion, the only real way to make money is to arbitrage from the fluctuations in stock prices."

"If Mr. Cai had $10, what stock would you choose to invest in?"

"I will not invest in large companies such as U.S. Steel and General Motors. Instead, I will carefully look for the stocks of some small companies with potential. As long as the small companies can grow, they can get huge returns with a small investment."

Xian Yaowen nodded noncommittally, "Have you paid attention to the situation on the Korean Peninsula?"

"There is attention."

“If there is a war on the Korean Peninsula, will the Dow Jones Index rise or fall?”

"fall."

"How long will it fall?"

Cai Zhiyong fell into a long test.

After a while, he said: "In the past five months of this year, the U.S. economy has improved, inflation has been at a low level, coupled with expectations of tax cuts, the stock market has been improving, with the Dow Jones index rising from 199 points to 228 points, an increase of about 15%.

If a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula and is affected by the war, the index will fall in a short period of time, and all the gains in the first half of the year may be given back. Judging from the past response speed of the White House and the Pentagon, the United States will intervene in a short period of time, and I guess Will intervene in the name of the United Nations.

If my guess is correct, I estimate that the decline will last no more than a month before the index starts to rebound. "

"If the previous hypothesis comes true, if I give you $10 to short Dow Jones futures, how much profit do you think you can get?"

"The funds are at my disposal?"

"Yes." Xian Yaowen nodded.

After another long test, Cai Zhiyong said slowly: "Be safer, five times."

"What about taking a risk?"

"High leverage can be increased to twelve times, but the risk is extremely high and it is easy to lose all your money."

Xian Yaowen leaned back in his chair and said calmly: "If you are given 15% of the income, you can only make a profit, not a loss. Even if you lose 1 cent, you have to climb to the top of the Empire State Building and jump off. How dare you not Dare to take?"

Cai Zhiyong shook his head, "$10 is a lot, but it's not worth risking my life."

"If it is US$50, eight times the income is US$400 million, and 400% of US$15 million is US$60. I wonder if this number will tempt you?"

Xian Yaowen judged that Cai Zhiyong is an adventurous person, or more precisely a gambler. He likes to take big risks when the wind is going smoothly. As he wins again and again, the bet becomes higher and higher. When the wind is going smoothly, he can create miracles. Once the wind is going against him, he can create miracles. He may not have the motivation and ability to move forward with a heavy load, but he is an expert at fighting against the wind.

He believes in miracles, but doesn’t like to get himself into a situation of expecting miracles. He has a bad impression of Cai Zhiyong and has no plans to hire him. However, in the next few years, the U.S. economy will show an upward trend, which is suitable for people like Cai Zhiyong to create A miracle, it would be a pity to miss the ride.

"Mr. Xian, what if you take this seriously?"

"If you take it seriously, jumping off a building is also serious. Mr. Cai might as well think about it again. If you are confident, call me before noon next Monday. If you don't hit me, I will treat you as giving up." As he said, Xian Yaowen raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "Let's eat first. After dinner, I'll invite Mr. Cai to watch the show."

"I don't want to refute Mr. Xian's elegance. I have a date later and don't have time to watch the show with Mr. Xian."

Xian Yaowen said regretfully: "That's such a pity. There is a very beautiful lady among the actors performing today, but it doesn't matter. We can make another appointment another day."

Cai Zhiyong waved his hand, "Mr. Xian, we seem to have forgotten the most important assumption. What if there is no war on the Korean Peninsula?"

"Yes, I forgot to mention this most important if." Mr. Cai has nothing to do with it, you won’t get any profit dividends, but you will get a commission.”
