William looked at his happy mother and felt very satisfied. His mother looked like she had been reborn, full of energy, and talked a lot more than usual. She no longer had to worry about her son's future, and he could live a more relaxed life.
.
"William, this Sun News is really amazing. It has found out most of the information about our family in just one day. Although some of what it said is wrong, it is basically true. It is a pity that my mother is a girl and cannot inherit your grandfather's inheritance.
title, but it seems that you have a chance to inherit the title of earl. Mom heard from your Aunt Mary Hendrix of Oxford that the Earl of Oxford has not had any offspring born in ten years of hard work."
"It's better not to do it. Mom, you don't know how the aristocrats in England are suppressed now. The aristocrats nowadays don't dare to tell others that they are aristocrats. They don't get any benefits. They are also restricted everywhere. I don't know why.
So many people want to become nobles.”
Lina nodded sadly
"Yes, if it weren't for the law of aristocratic inheritance, your grandfather would not have borrowed money in order to inherit the title. In the end, after inheriting the title, he had to sell the family castle and property to pay back the money. In my generation, there is no male to inherit the title. In the end,
Ended in depression,
What your grandfather was most unwilling to accept was that his title was inherited by that useless distant relative. When your grandfather was ill, he jumped up and down. But so what, he was given ten years, but he still couldn't have children.
Really? The title will still come back to our family," Lina said bitterly.
William looked at his mother's sad words and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Okay, mom, let's not talk about this. What's the use of talking about it now? Let's talk about it when the time comes. Besides, the title is just that. Maybe the nobility will be abolished in England at some time.
Now that so many people are against the aristocracy, we’d better leave it alone.”
Lina patted William angrily and said:
"No, you must get the title back. William, you were still young at that time and could not understand the pain and helplessness of your grandfather. Moreover, 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 get too many benefits.”
"Yes, yes, yes, my mother, you are right, but you don't want to think that I am not a pure-blooded Englishman. If you let me inherit the title, I don't know how many people will object. We are fine as we are now.
, you can live the life you want in peace and contentment, and our family will be lively after my child is born in a few years."
Hearing that William asked her to bring up her grandson, Lina 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 yet.
At 39 years old, I haven’t accepted the fact that you have grown up. I get a headache when I think about becoming a grandma. God, that means I am getting old.”
William thought that in the future he would have a cute baby calling him daddy with a sweet voice. William felt happy and sweaty at the same time. William, who had never been a father in his life, still didn't know how to face his child, so he hurriedly said: "No.
Yes, mom, I’m only 19 years old and I don’t even have a girlfriend, so how can I become a father?”
Lina was worried when she heard William talking about his girlfriend: "William, it's time for you to get a girlfriend, otherwise the newspapers will definitely say that you are gay."
William nodded in agreement. Now he is not the taciturn William who was a nerd who focused on studying before. However, getting a girlfriend should just go with the flow.
Beep, beep, William's phone rang. He took out the phone and saw that it was Anthony's phone. William got up and walked to the window to answer the call.
"Hello, Anthony"
Anthony's anxious voice came over the phone: "Hello, Mr. Devonshire, have you thought about how to deal with today's report in the Sun? Maybe we can send a lawyer's letter to warn them and not let them be so unscrupulous."
After William thought about it carefully, he said to Anthony in a serious tone, "Anthony, it's not necessary yet. Today's report is quite normal. Although it will have some adverse effects on us, today's report will be more helpful to us. This
It’s not time to offend the media. Offending them will be more harmful to us. We need the media to say good things for us now. In a few days, the whole world will know about the game Plants vs. Zombies and let them report it. As long as it is not deliberately spreading rumors.
Don’t care”
Anthony thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Devonshire, I will do as you say and carefully review the comments in each newspaper. Then I will not disturb you anymore. Goodbye Mr. Devonshire."
"Goodbye, Anthony, call me if you need anything"
"OK"
After hanging up the phone, William opened the curtains, and suddenly a flash light flashed in front of his eyes, and then a flash of light flashed.
Through the window, William saw that reporters were now standing outside his home.
"William, can William accept our interview?"
"William, I am a reporter from The Times. Please accept my interview."
"William, I'm from The Times. Can I give you an exclusive interview?"
When William heard that the Times, the Daily Telegraph, and the Guardian, the largest newspapers in England, were all lined up, his head was spinning. These guys came so fast. He looked at the excited expressions of these guys outside the house, and they kept pointing at him.
The reporter who was fiercely photographing, William knew that he would not be able to live in peace if he did not go out for an interview today, so he was able to take the reporter's hand and pass on some words that were beneficial to the game.
After thinking about it, the time was right now. William said to his mother who approached the window: "Mom, there are too many reporters outside. I will send them away."
"Well, William should be careful not to fall into their trap when he speaks," Lina warned.
"I understand, 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 reporters taking pictures.
"Okay, everyone, I will accept your interview, but please pay attention to safety. You can ask me three questions. After asking, please exit the street. You have affected other residents. Be careful of them calling the police."
Hearing William say that someone might call the police, the reporters' voices suddenly became quieter, but after a while, these guys started asking loudly again. For these reporters, they are not afraid of the police, they just come and go.
"Okay, just three questions. Otherwise, I have the right to refuse to be interviewed." William shouted loudly.
Well, it is indeed William's right to refuse an interview, just like a reporter's right to interview, but if others don't want to talk to you, you can't hold William back, or else you can file a complaint.
There are still smart people. Before William waited a while, he heard someone ask him
"William, I'm a reporter from The Times. Linda, I want to ask you, how did you calculate the 100 million price you quoted for yourself? Do you think anyone will pay such a high price to acquire you?"
"You have two questions, madam. Since you are a lady, I won't care about the first question."
"The Sun's report in the morning made it very clear. The game disc alone can sell more than 60 million. After the game became popular, I think there will be no problem selling more than 100 million per year. Note that I said one year.
And this does not include stuffed toys, movies, TV books, amusement parks and other peripherals, as well as the intangible visibility bonus of this game to the copyright company. These are more important for listed companies. I think it may be the copyright that increases the stock price.
The purchase price is several times or even more than ten times. The IT industry is so hot now. I feel that if I sell it for 200 million pounds, many companies will be interested."
