Chapter 57： Auckland Islands in hand

Time always flies by when you are busy.

In New Zealand, after receiving the gift, those MPs used the power given to them by the people very professionally and passed the plan to sell the Auckland Islands.

During the one-week publicity period for the proposal, New Zealand's large and small media started various reports, but most of the reports focused on the current situation in Tuvalu.

Compared with other countries in the world, New Zealanders undoubtedly know the most about Tuvalu. After all, nearly 2,000 people have immigrated to New Zealand from Tuvalu in the past ten years.

Although the New Zealand government only grants Tuvalu 70 unconditional immigration qualifications each year, at the beginning, not all Tuvaluans needed this qualification.

Tuvalu is indeed extremely underdeveloped, all resources are close to zero, and even the highest level of education is only at the high school level, but the more difficult the environment is, the easier it is to breed talents with relatively high abilities.

This part of talents with relatively high abilities, except Burns and some people who took root in Tuvalu and refused to immigrate for the development of Tuvalu, the rest have all obtained immigration qualifications through their own abilities.

Otherwise, there would not be only 11,000 people left in Tuvalu, at least 15,000 people...

The repeated bombardment by the media has made the people of New Zealand very sympathetic to what happened to Tuvalu. However, this kind of sympathy is based on the premise that it has nothing to do with one's own interests.

If the New Zealand government announces to unconditionally accept all Tuvaluan immigrants, it will definitely cause opposition from many people, because resources are limited. No matter how good New Zealand's economic level is, its total population is only over 4 million people.

If there are more than 10,000 people, it is equivalent to every original New Zealander, and the resources available to them will decrease year-on-year, such as educational resources, public facilities resources, social welfare and so on.

Moreover, these more than 10,000 Tuvaluans, after leaving Tuvalu, are equivalent to people with nothing. The investment of the New Zealand government is bound to be very large in the early stage. The simplest, everyone needs a place to live, everyone needs a job, where do these things come from? Of course it was separated from the New Zealanders.

Media reports, in addition to making New Zealanders sympathize with Tuvaluans, also analyzed the pros and cons of this situation. Therefore, the support rate for the plan to sell the Auckland Islands to Tuvalu is naturally very high.

After the plan is approved, it is natural to pay.

Excluding the 50 million U.S. dollars used for gifts, the total cash that Tuvalu can mobilize now is only 200 million U.S. dollars at most.

The final price of the Auckland Islands was 530 million US dollars, a difference of more than 300 million US dollars.

However, neither New Zealand nor the Tuvalu government are worried that the deal will fail due to insufficient money.

Because, the book "Lord of the Rings" is selling more and more popular now, and it has already started to be sold worldwide.

According to the current sales volume and the word-of-mouth of this book. Authoritative organizations predict that the global sales of this book this year will definitely exceed 30 million sets.

And thus triggered a new round of buying frenzy.

As soon as this data came out, the whole world was shocked, because there has never been a novel that could create sales of 30 million sets in the year it was released, or even only half a year left.

Although many people criticized this data, and even listed all the sales data of all works in history, to prove that it is impossible for this book to exceed 30 million sets. However, what these arguments want to prove is that it is impossible to sell this data within the year.

The publishing industry all over the world believes that this book will sell more quantities one day, it's just a matter of time.

The share that Li Daniu can get in the United States is 50%, and the price of this book is 30 US dollars per set.

As for the publishing contracts in other countries, due to the booming sales market in the United States, the share ratios set are also between 45% and 55%.

If the sales volume of this book is 30 million sets, then the share that Li Daniu can get will reach an astonishing 450 million US dollars.

Although Li Daniu wants to get the money, he not only has to wait for a while, but also has to pay a huge amount of taxes, but books are not meant to be sold after a year. Really best-selling books can sell for ten years or even twenty years.

The "Lord of the Rings" in the previous life, published in the 1950s and into the 21st century, was still able to generate millions of dollars in royalties every year, which is evident.

Therefore, Li Daniu, as the king of Tuvalu, as well as the author and copyright owner of the book "The Lord of the Rings", mortgaged the royalties from "The Lord of the Rings" to the New Zealand state-owned bank and obtained a loan for the purchase of the Auckland Islands. .

Li Daniu doesn't need to take care of the specific details, and there will naturally be professionals to operate. As for the extra interest, Li Daniu doesn't care at all. For him now, and even for him in the future, this little money is really worth it It's not called money.

Because the income from "The Lord of the Rings" is considerable, the amount of the mortgage loan is also relatively large. The Tuvalu government obtained the ownership of the Auckland Islands without spending any more money.

When Li Daniu signed a contract with representatives of the New Zealand government on behalf of Tuvalu, the media all over the world put this matter in the headlines.

"Rebirth of Tuvalu"

"The Story That Saved a Nation"

"The King's Redemption"

"The Most Talented King Ever"

"The Lord of the Rings Worth a Nation"

…

When "The Lord of the Rings" became popular, Li Daniu received many interview invitations from the media, but for the sake of the king's style, Li Daniu rejected those interviews that he thought were not up to standard. In his opinion, in the near future, he will definitely become one of the top people in the world. Although Tuvalu's military strength is almost nothing, as long as the economic strength is sufficient, he can also stand on it.

Besides, as long as the movie wears well, things like military strength are not too difficult.

But I didn't expect that it would come so soon in the near future.

After it made the headlines, it was followed by the interview appointments of those world-class media, and even many reporters went directly to Tuvalu to encircle the government.

Tuvaluans have experienced ups and downs recently. First, Li Daniu did not allow immigration, and then Tuvalu bought the Auckland Islands of New Zealand. The government informed everyone to prepare for immigration, and then the media from all over the world ran to Tuvalu .

Burns can tell the world responsibly that there have never been so many foreigners in Tuvalu, and all the foreigners who have been to Tuvalu in history are combined, and there are not as many as in the past two days, because Tuvalu Valu had nowhere to live for the reporters.

As a result, simple camping tents are everywhere on the beach in Tuvalu.

As for the series of changes in Tuvalu, the most influential one is Lao Liu who came to Tuvalu from Huaxia to open a supermarket. Seeing that the recent turnover has increased by more than ten times, he can't feel happy , because if Tuvalu wants to relocate as a whole, where will he go?

Go to Auckland to open a supermarket?

Just kidding, in the planning map of New Tuvalu, which is the Auckland Islands, announced by the Tuvalu government, the most conspicuous thing is the national comprehensive shopping mall.

"That's bullshit, you, you don't have as many people as our Huaxia town, so you build a comprehensive shopping mall? I'll pay you..."

In the royal palace of Tuvalu, Burns and others have never felt as busy as they are now. The workload of this month is almost equivalent to the workload of the previous years, and the upcoming construction of New Tuvalu, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is more troublesome.

"Your Majesty, so many reporters are here, why don't you accept an interview?"

"You hold a press conference first, and you can decide what to say. I don't accept it for the time being. If it's those top media, you can arrange an interview in three days."

Li Daniu is also very helpless. Accepting an interview can definitely gain a wave of popularity and reputation. Not to mention the increase in sales of "The Lord of the Rings", he feels that fame is very useful now. If it weren't for the blowout of his current readers Those few New Zealand MPs will definitely not agree to give up the construction work of New Tuvalu.

However, there are still two days until the monthly time-traveling time. He doesn't know which movie he will time-travel into. However, there are always advantages and no disadvantages in recharging energy in advance.

After sending Burns away, Li Daniu started talking to the system.

"System, can you reveal a little bit?"

"No comment."

"Then how about I bring two guns?" Although Li Daniu is now advanced in martial arts, he has not yet reached the point where he really ignores firearms. With a gun in his hand, at least he doesn't panic.

"The system cannot guarantee your identity after crossing, and you can legally use firearms."

"Can't it be used if it's not legal?"

"The system does not guarantee that the scene to cross is not an airport security checkpoint."

"Damn, you mean, if I carry a gun, you let me go straight through the airport security checkpoint?"

"No comment."

"When will you be smarter?"

"No comment!"

"Grass!"
