I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 3
Henry is running around, Giraffe’s publishing house, and no matter how far he has to go downtown. Henry has no money, so of course he can leave. As for shipping, there was no shipping or money to send it, Henry walked on the road thinking hard. After thinking about it, I finally came to the conclusion: i.e. look for a job first!
After earning money from part-time work, and then copying manuscripts to be submitted to major publishers, there must be publishers with a good vision to support their novels.
But what job are you looking for? Henry is annoyed again. Henry wanders around the train station in the afternoon and finally gets job info, jobs selling newspapers. This is a simple London tabloid called “London Entertainment”, which has daily gossip about various celebrity scandals, with sales of thousands.
Henry has been busy ever since. After finishing his homework during the day, he went to sell newspapers and took the time to write novels at night. Since the last time Henry talked back to Mrs. Rosa, Mrs. Rosa was a little in control, which allowed Henry to have more free time. Peter’s family also knows about Henry’s novel. Of course, editor in chief Pulis told Peter.
Of course, Pulis certainly did not forget to express her attitude towards this novel – very naive and ridiculous! ! !
Because of this, Mrs. Rosa often quipped his novels in front of Henry, but Henry did not have time to care, and continued to do it in his own way.
Every day, watching Henry leave with a small bag of newspapers, Mrs. Rosa always cursed and mocked viciously: “You maid, no one will like your novel !!!”
There were many people near the London train station, but only a few people bought newspapers, especially the obscure tabloids. Henry ran and broke his legs and screamed, only to sell more than one hundred copies a day. For each newspaper, Henry only gets 0.01 pounds, which is equivalent to one pound a day. Twenty days later, Henry collected twenty or thirty pounds to copy three novels and submit them to three well-known publishers.
Waiting is the most painful day.
Henry checks the mailbox outside the door every day to see if there is a reply, but he is always disappointed every time, or the mailbox is always empty, or there is a pile of rejections. On one of these occasions, a publisher put a piece of paper into the rejection of the manuscript with a piece of advice to Henry: “Please find a job, you don’t deserve to write a book to get rich in this life!” Henry blushed after reading it! Although Henry was rejected by eight publishers, he still did not give up.
Mrs. Rosa also checks her mailbox every day, sometimes thinking that if a publisher likes Henry’s novels, she can sell it for money. Therefore, even though Mrs. Rosa laughs at Henry every day, he still has a little luck. Every time the postman passed by the house, Mrs. Rosa always asks: “Hi, sir, do you have our letter today?”
But after all this time, I didn’t see any publishers sending contracts, and Mrs. Rosa no longer has hope, but increasingly hates little Henry. One night, Rosa said to Peter: “Peter, let’s send Henry away, I can’t stand him anymore! He is arrogant and rude, and he doesn’t look at me with a grudge. He’s just white eyes like a dangerous wolf !!!”
“Rosa, we signed the agreement …” said Peter, embarrassed.
Rosa exclaims, “What is this! We cannot raise two children. The law cannot starve us to death. You can ask the lawyer if we can send the children to someone else to raise them.”
“Well.”
The next day, Peter goes to ask the lawyer. Henry is in the dark, and always waiting for the publisher’s answer. A week later, a guest suddenly arrived at the house.
“Mr. Will, have a seat!” Rosa said excitedly, and Peter hurriedly brought a drink to Mr. Will.
Will looks like a successful person, around 30 years old, his hair is smooth and shiny, and he is very energetic. His eyes are shrewd and bright, with a little wisdom.
“Mr. and Mrs. Williams, hello, I am a lawyer from the Brothers Law Firm in the United States. I now authorize Mr. Roger Nicholas to sign with you the transfer rights of Henry Williams’ transfer right. This is the contents of the agreement, please take a look. If not there’s a problem, please sign! “Will handed the document to Peters.
As Peter and Rosa gather together to read the agreement, Henry hides early upstairs and listens to them. At this time, Henry’s face was very ugly, because he felt that his pride had been badly hit, and he was sold as if he were an item. Henry clenches his fists, nails his nails to the flesh, almost squeezes the blood. Suddenly there was anger in his heart, but there was no place to confide.
He knows that he might be “sold” tonight! ! !
A few minutes later, Peter and Rosa placed the documents happily, and said to Will in a hurry, “There’s nothing wrong with the contents of the agreement, we can sign it now !!!” Then, Peter hurriedly said. Find a pen and get ready to sign his name. The reason they were so urgent was because they saw an agreement that Roger Nicholas would pay them five thousand pounds.
Initially, Peters planned to throw away their burdens, but they didn’t expect to make a lot of money, so naturally they couldn’t help it! ! !
Both parties sign and shake hands. At this moment, Peter asked shyly, “Mr. Will, when … will the money arrive?”
Will smiled slightly and took a check from his clothes.
Peter and Rosa’s eyes suddenly glowed.
…
Henry lay in bed rolling around, unable to sleep through the night. It’s disgusting to think of the happy and greedy face of Peters after signing. Maybe they haven’t slept, they are still staring at checks and laughing. The corner of Henry’s mouth moved, and a touch of disgust and ridicule appeared.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, where will I go tomorrow? Henry is confused!
At dawn, Rosa knocked on the door of the storage room.
“Henry, wake up!” Rosa’s voice today was different from usual, and she looked very happy.
When Henry opened the door, Rosa froze for a moment, because she saw Henry leaning over and packing her.
“Yes, it seems like you are quite aware. Did you hear us yesterday ?!”
“Hehe, don’t worry, we have helped you find a very rich family. Don’t forget your uncle’s family in the future if you are rich and rich !!!” Rosa said with a smile.
Henry does not speak, and follows him down after saluting.
Lawyer Will went to Peter’s house early and now sits in the living room drinking coffee. Seeing Henry and Rosa come down, Will stood up, walked to Henry’s side to salute, and introduced himself: “Hello, Henry! I’m a lawyer! Your uncle has transferred your prisoners to Mr. Roger Nicholas, I will take you to America today!”
“America? !!!” Henry is shocked, he did not expect to be sold so far! Yes, America I’m not wrong with, America …
Henry did not speak, and followed Will with his head down. Behind him, Henry faintly heard the laughter of victory of Peter and his wife …
San Francisco, U.S.
Henry and Will got off the plane, and a Ford drove toward them. Immediately, an old man with gray hair came out. The old man looked very excited, his eyes full of love when he saw Henry. The old man stepped forward and hugged Henry hard, tears flowing freely.
“Little Henry, my poor grandson, grandfather finally saw you !!!” The old man cried.
Henry is suddenly stunned, why does he suddenly have a grandfather?
When Henry was stunned, the old man gave his reason. It turned out that the old man was really pro-grandfather Henry. At that time, the old man strongly opposed the mother who married his father, and even stated that if he dared to marry Henry’s father, the old man would not recognize his daughter. As a result, after Henry’s parents married, his mother accompanied his father to live in England. The old man only had a daughter under his supervision, after a long time, he regretted what he said.
And Henry’s grandmother was still an Indonesian woman, so it was not surprising that she looked like an Indonesian, with black hair and slightly brownish skin, but her eyes were blue.
Some time ago, the old man sent someone to ask about Henry’s parents, and he got word about his daughter’s death. The old man with white hair was very sad after finding out. After learning that his grandchild was actually scouted at a very cruel and greedy uncle’s house, the old man immediately brought his grandchildren to live with him.
Now that I have seen my little grandson, the old man can only cry!
Henry looked at the old man’s tears, and he could not help feeling sad. At the same time, I also felt the old man’s full love for him, and I felt the warmth in my heart, it was the warmest time since I was reincarnated. Henry hugged the old man and comforted him: “Grandfather, don’t cry, mother is gone, you still have me, I will take care of you in the future!”
The old man laughed with relief and shook Henry’s small hand: “Yes, I also have a good grandson. God did not leave me this evil old man!”
Everyone got in the car and drove for half an hour to a European-style villa of five to six hundred square meters. There is a large garage in the villa, and there are three cars parked in it, including Ford, RB Honda, and Mercedes-Benz. In front of the villa is a small garden filled with various flowers and plants, and there is a small swimming pool behind the villa. The decoration in the villa is not too fancy, but very fine.
“Henry, Grandfather will take you to see your new room!” The old man looked very happy, and took Henry’s hand as he walked.
Pushing the door open, you see a bright glass window with green trees and sunlight. There is a separate bathroom in the room, with all kinds of household appliances. The old man also bought Henry an Atari game and put it next to the TV, even the box had not been opened.
“Henry, do you like it here?”
“I like it!” Henry showed his happiness to the old man. Although his condition here was no better than the five-star hotel where Henry had lived in his previous life, the old man’s heart was very kind to him.
“If you like it, you can live here calmly and happily.”
Henry nodded, and settled in America.
Later, Henry learned that his grandfather, Roger Nicholas, was the owner of a small and well-known bookshop in California, with assets of more than 20 million US dollars with a total of 25 bookstores.
On the third day of Henry’s departure from England, a British publisher intended to publish Henry’s novel. When Rosa opened the mailbox, she suddenly found a package, which was a publishing contract. Rosa is suddenly shocked, and quickly calls Peter, and the two can’t help discussing the contract at night.
“I don’t see a publisher actually having Broom Star novels!” Rosa grinned, her tone sour.
“Yes, Puliss’s men insist that this novel is naive and ridiculous. No publisher wants to publish this novel. Now it’s OK, someone else has sent a publishing contract!” Peter hates Puliss. On.
“If you buy, you can get 20,000 pounds, and you will get 8% of royalties.” Rosa said regretfully, “Oh, Peter, we lost. We only got 5,000 pounds, but we lost more!”
Both of them looked at the contract with a daze, regret on their faces.
“Rosa, we want to tell Henry, is there a publisher who wants to help him publish a book?” Peter asked.
Rosa screamed: “Tell him so he can show off in front of us? !!! Tear off! The contract tear !!!”
hissed! ! ! !
Rosa almost went crazy, tearing up the contract with both hands, and then threw it to the ground, scattered like a peach …
