Chapter 898 Shen Lin: I don’t really need to work hard
Zhang Yuqing has always known Shen Lin's phone number, but rarely calls Shen Lin, the boss. Most of the time, communication is done through the company.
Now, Shen Lin was surprised by Zhang Yuqing's sudden call.
And Zhang Yuqing's eager tone gave people the feeling that something was serious, so Shen Lin hurriedly said: "Zhang Yuqing, what happened?"
"Director Shen, I think you should treat me to a treat! No, no, no, I think you should send a big red envelope to me as the congratulatory person!" Zhang Yuqing said excitedly.
Why can't this lawyer Zhang be more prudent? Is it possible that it's pie in the sky that makes her so happy?
"Don't be surprised when you speak in the future. I thought something happened just now!" Shen Lin couldn't help complaining to Zhang Yuqing.
When Zhang Yuqing heard what Shen Lin said, he immediately understood that there was something wrong with his sudden and careless call.
She smiled and said: "Dr. Shen, after you hear the news from me, you won't think I'm shocked."
"You know, I just saw the box office of "The Martian" from the newspaper. Wow, this movie is a big hit. The box office in the United States alone has exceeded 800 million U.S. dollars, 800 million U.S. dollars! "
When Zhang Yuqing said this, he said in a trembling voice: "According to the contract you signed, I calculated that your wife's share in this aspect is at least no less than 10 million US dollars."
"Dr. Shen, it's no less than ten million US dollars!"
Shen Lin is short of money now. No, it should be said that what he is short of now is foreign exchange, and tens of millions of dollars can definitely solve most of his problems.
When Takeda Ichiro and Tomon Electric shamelessly delayed in paying the patent fees, Shen Lin had already begun to think about other methods. However, Shen Lin was a little unfamiliar with the matter of foreign exchange, and he had no good solution for a while.
But now, just when he was about to sleep, a big pillow fell from the sky.
"Have you calculated clearly? According to our agreement, can we really get so much?" Although Shen Lin thought Zhang Yuqing would be fine, at this time, he couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
Zhang Yuqing said seriously: "Director Shen, you don't have to trust my people, but you must trust my professional ability."
"It's not wrong at all. It's almost 10 million US dollars. I believe that the person who bought your wife's copyright has already fainted in the toilet from crying!"
"Lawyer Zhang, you are wrong. Although we get some share, what we earn is just a small amount of money."
Shen Lin said with a smile: "A lot of money is still in other people's hands, don't you think so?"
"That's true." Zhang Yuqing sighed and said, "With such a good script, wouldn't we earn more if we filmed it ourselves?"
"Boss, this is such good news. Let me tell you in advance. Do you want to reward a loyal subordinate like me?"
After listening to Zhang Yuqing's words, Shen Lin laughed and said: "Okay, there is a reward. When we meet next time, I will give you a big red envelope."
When Lu Xiaorong saw Shen Lin put down the phone with a smile on his face, he asked curiously: "Why are you so happy?"
Shen Lin did not speak, but came to Lu Xiaorong seriously and said: "Honey, if you have 10 million, can you use it for me?"
"Okay, I'll just give it all to you." Lu Xiaorong patted Shen Lin on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity, I don't have 10 million."
"No, you do. Not only do you have it, but it's also a beautiful sword!" Shen Lin excitedly picked up Lu Xiaorong and spun him around. Lu Xiaorong was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly, pretending to be angry while struggling to get down. : "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"Daughter-in-law, I just realized now that I don't have to suffer and work hard at all!"
"As long as you listen to my wife and go with her, my baby son and I will be able to live without worries in our lives."
Lu Xiaorong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rolled his eyes at Shen Lin and started talking in his sleep again...
"You didn't drink either. Why are you talking nonsense? How could I possibly have so much money?"
"Daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuqing just called me and told me that your "The Martian" was a hit. If you divide it according to the contract we signed at the time, you can get at least 10 million US dollars."
Shen Lin took Lu Xiaorong's hand and said seriously: "So, congratulations, you have entered the billionaire club with your absolute strength."
Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin with a solemn expression and didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that she was really dreaming at this time, but even in her dreams, there were some things she didn't dare to think about.
Ten million is still a US dollar. How is this possible?
Shen Lin could completely understand Lu Xiaorong's mood at this time. In fact, let alone Lu Xiaorong at this time, even Shen Lin himself was very surprised.
Lu Xiaorong quickly calmed down, and she said to Shen Lin: "Shen Lin, after all, you earned these ten million dollars."
"You should have written "The Martian", and you were the one who negotiated the contract. You just congratulated me. Are you quite proud of yourself?"
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Don't tell me, I'm really proud of myself."
"With these ten million dollars, you no longer have to worry about purchasing a refrigerator production line. This is a good thing."
When Lu Xiaorong said this, he rubbed his hands and said, "How about we take our son, go out to celebrate, and find a place to have a meal."
Shen Lin nodded and said: "This is a good suggestion, but let's not go to Ermei Restaurant. I remember that there are some good snack bars opened on Paris Street. How about we go there for a meal?"
Just as Lu Xiaorong was about to agree, the phone rang again. Although Shen Lin was a little unhappy, he still walked over and answered the phone.
Listening to the voice on the phone, Shen Lin said to Lu Xiaorong: "Writer Lu, I am looking for you and want to interview you."
Lu Xiaorong took the phone, said a few words, and then said to Shen Lin: "It's a call from the newspaper office, saying that they want to conduct an exclusive interview with me. What should I say then?"
"Don't worry, you can just say what you think when the time comes." Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong who was in a panic, poked her forehead and said, "There will be no problem."
Although Lu Xiaorong has been interviewed several times, the background of this exclusive interview is really a bit big, so she is a little nervous.
"You tell me whether I need to write a manuscript, and then I will answer according to the manuscript." Lu Xiaorong walked back and forth for a few steps: "How about you come with me to participate in this interview. If there are any questions I can't answer, You can also help me replenish it at any time."
Shen Lin smiled and said: "It's okay. I think I will communicate with you about the interview issues before the formal interview."
"At that time, you can just think about the answers to the interview. Now there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to go out for a meal with me in peace."
