The Richest Man in the World of Film and Television

"Yes, if it weren't for the law of noble inheritance, your grandfather would not have borrowed money to inherit the title. In the end, after the title was inherited, he had to sell the family's castle and property to pay back the money. In my generation, no male will inherit the title. Depressed to the end,

What your grandfather was most displeased with was that the title was inherited by that useless distant relative. When your grandfather was sick, he jumped up and down, but so what, after ten years, he still couldn’t have a child ?The title will still come back to our family," Lina said angrily.

Seeing his mother saying sad things, William hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Okay, mom, let's not talk about it. What's the use of talking about it now? Let's talk about it when the time comes. Besides, it's just about titles. Maybe England will abolish the nobility anytime soon. Now that so many people are against the aristocracy, let's leave it alone."

Lina patted William angrily and said:

"No, the title must be taken back, William, you were still young at that time, and you couldn't understand the pain and helplessness of your grandfather, and the title still has many benefits. Otherwise, why do you think the parliament is so deliberately suppressing the nobles?" , I’m not afraid that the nobles will benefit too much.”

"Yes, yes, yes, my mother, you are right, but don't you think that I am not a pure-blooded Englishman. If I are allowed to inherit the title, I don't know how many people will object to it. We are fine now , you can live the life you want with peace of mind, and our family will be lively after my child is born in a few years."

Hearing William asked her to bring her grandson, Lena complained to William angrily, "Ha, William, let me tell you, you can't bring me a grandson now, I'm not ready to be a grandma, so I will 39 years old, I haven't even accepted the fact that you're grown up, thinking I'm going to be a grandma gives me a headache, God, that means I'm going to be old."

William thought that there would be a cute baby who would call him daddy in a childlike voice. William felt joy and broke out in a cold sweat. William, who had never been a father in two lifetimes, didn't know how to face a child, so he hurriedly said, "No Yes, mom, I’m only 19 years old, I don’t even have a girlfriend, how can I become a father”

Lina was worried when she heard William talking about a girlfriend: "William, it's time for you to have a girlfriend, otherwise the newspapers will definitely say that you are gay."

William nodded in agreement. He is not the taciturn, nerdy William who devoted himself to reading, but let things take their course when it comes to having a girlfriend.

Beep, beep, William's phone rang, took out the phone and saw that it was Anthony's call, William got up and walked to the window to answer the phone.

"Hi, hello, Anthony"

Anthony's anxious voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Devinhill, have you thought about how to deal with the report of the Sun today? Maybe we can send a lawyer's letter to warn them, and we can't let them be so unscrupulous."

After thinking about it carefully, William said to Anthony in a serious tone, "Anthony, it's not used yet. Today's report is still normal. Although it will cause some adverse effects on us, today's report will help us more. This It’s not time to offend the media. Offending them will do us more harm. We now need the media to speak up for us. In a few days, the whole world will know about the game Plants vs. Zombies. Let them report it, as long as it is not deliberately spread rumors don't care"

After thinking for a moment, Anthony nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Devonhill, I will do as you said and carefully review the comments of each newspaper, then I won't bother you any more. Goodbye, Mr. Devonhill."

"Goodbye, Anthony, call me if you need anything"

"Ok"

After hanging up the phone, William opened the curtains, flashing lights suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then a flash of flashing lights crackled.

William saw through the window that his house was now full of reporters.

"William, can William accept our interview?"

"William, I am a reporter from the Times, please accept my interview"

"William, I am from The Times, can I give you an exclusive interview?"

William heard that the Times, the Daily Telegraph, and the Guardian, the largest newspapers in England, were lined up, and their heads were big. These guys came so fast. Looking at the expressions outside the house, they kept looking at him. The reporter who snapped the shot, William knew that if he didn't go out for an interview today, he wouldn't be safe, and it happened to be able to receive the reporter's hand and pass some words that were beneficial to the game.

After thinking about it, the timing is right now, and William said to his mother who was approaching the window: "Mom, there are too many reporters outside, I'll send them away."

"Well, William should be careful not to fall into their trap when he speaks," Lina warned.

"Understood, don't worry mom, I will pay attention"

After William opened the door and walked out, he stood on the steps in front of the door and smiled at the reporter taking pictures.

"Okay, everyone, I accept your interview, but please pay attention to safety. You can ask me three questions. After you are done, please exit the street. You have affected other residents. Be careful that they call the police."

When William said that someone might call the police, the reporters' voices became quieter, but after a while, these guys asked loudly again. For these reporters, they are not afraid of the police, as long as the police come and go.

"Okay, just three questions, or I refuse to accept the interview, I have the right to refuse," William shouted loudly

Well, it is indeed William's right to refuse an interview, just like a reporter's right to interview again, but if others don't want to talk to you, you can't hold William down, or you can tell him everything.

There are still smart people, and William didn't wait for a while to hear someone ask him

"William, I'm a reporter from The Times, Linda, I want to ask you, how did you calculate the [-] million quotation you quoted for yourself? Do you think someone will pay such a high price to buy it?"

"That's two questions for you, ma'am, and for the sake of being a lady, I don't care about the first one,"

"The report in the morning of The Sun has made it very clear that the game disk alone can sell more than 6000 million. After the game became popular, I don't think it will be a problem to sell more than 2 million per year. Note that I said one year. And this is not counting plush toys, movies, TV books, playgrounds and other peripherals, as well as the intangible popularity of this game to copyright companies. These are more important for listed companies. I think the increase in stock prices may be due to copyright The purchase is several times or even ten times, and the IT industry is so hot now, I now feel that if I sell [-] million pounds, many companies will be attracted."

Chapter 17. Chapter Seventeen

The reporters were all in an uproar when they heard 2 million pounds. At first they thought [-] million was a sky-high price, but now they heard William said that buying the game would push up the stock price by hundreds of millions or billions. Thinking about it silently, they felt very possible.

According to the current hot stock market situation, William's prediction may come true. That doesn't mean that you can make a lot of money if you buy it. There will be another headline tomorrow, and it will write "[-] million pounds is its real value."

Seeing that the reporters were silent, William secretly smiled in his heart. Buying now may really increase the stock price as he said, but it will be hard to say after March this year.

"Okay, one more question, does anyone have anything else to ask?"

The reporter was reminded by William and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Devonhill, do you really have a relationship with the Duke of Devonshire? Do you have the right to inherit the nobility?"

William rolled his eyes at the reporter who asked the question, this is a trap for me, none of these London reporters is a good person

"We have nothing to do. If we want to talk about relationship, I can only say that we are an ancestor. Our Devonshire family was already a nobleman 1000 years ago, more than 600 years earlier than the current Duke family, and the rest has nothing to do with it." .I was not born in a nobleman, my mother did not have the right to inherit the nobles, now we are all ordinary people, are you satisfied with me saying that?"

The reporter who was asked by William said unwillingly: "However, according to the information we found, the Earl of Oxford has no heir yet, and you are now the only heir to the title. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

William didn't know how to answer. If he said he thought it was too deliberate, if he said he didn't want it, he must be lying, so he pretended to be stupid and said, "I have no idea. I have answered all three questions. Let's stop here. Please don't hang around this street anymore." ri, thank you."

After speaking, William ignored the reporter and had to shout, asking him to answer the reporter's question just now.

William didn't care about these things. He came out to be interviewed by reporters just to use the media to put more pressure on companies that wanted to buy game copyrights, and the rest of William didn't care.

By February 2th, newspapers throughout England were reporting on William. Today’s newspaper reports are more detailed. Some reporters went to William’s former primary school and middle school to find his teachers and classmates. They dug out everything he had before. .

Serious newspapers such as the Times and the Financial Times reported at length what William said in an interview yesterday about the effect of game copyrights on the stock prices of listed companies, and invited many economic and stock managers to explain.

Not to mention that several experts at the scene basically agreed with William's views, and believed that under the current investment environment, the 9% chance that William said would be realized.
