Chapter 102 First Arrival in Ugly Country

Chapter 102 First Arrival in Ugly Country

Qi Tongwei was sitting on the flight to the Ugly Country. At this moment, he had his eyes closed, and his mind was constantly recalling the two months of studying at the Party School.

For Qi Tongwei, this period of time can be said to be the most comfortable time since his rebirth.

There is no intrigue or deception here, and there is no need to face the calculations and suppression of others, let alone think about those complicated interpersonal relationship issues.

He just needs to devote all his energy to studying.

After two months of hard work, Qi Tongwei not only mastered the skills of dealing with the media, but also made many friends.

In his past and present lives, Qi Tongwei has always been an extreme nationalist, so he does not like the ugly country he is about to arrive in.

He believes that the Chinese are too selfish and arrogant, and lack respect for other cultures and nationalities.

Even so, this did not stop him from coming to the Ugly Country to make money. Using the Ugly Country's money to develop the country was his way of repaying the Ugly Country.

Just as he was thinking, a voice was broadcasted from the plane: "Dear passengers, we have successfully arrived in New York, the Ugly Country. Please pack your luggage and prepare to get off the plane..."

Hearing these words, Qi Tongwei came back to his senses and realized that he had finally set foot on this land he had never set foot on before.

After getting off the plane, Qi Tongwei and his group walked out of the cabin with other passengers. They followed the signs, passed through customs inspection, and finally arrived at the terminal hall.

Qi Tongwei looked around, looking for Julie who came to pick them up. Before long, he found the familiar figure in the crowd - Julie.

She looked up at the crowd and saw a man standing next to her, holding a sign with Qi Tongwei's name on it. Qi Tongwei was delighted and quickly called Pei Qianqian and others, and they walked towards Zhu Li.

Walking closer, Qi Tongwei greeted Julie with a smile: "Julie, long time no see! I'm sorry to bother you again this time."

Julie responded with a smile: "No way, I'm really looking forward to meeting you. Are these your friends?" As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Pei Qianqian and others.

Qi Tongwei introduced: "Yes, her name is Pei Qianqian, my girlfriend, and these two are also my good friends."

Pei Qianqian greeted Julie politely, and Julie responded enthusiastically. Then, Julie introduced the man next to her to everyone. It turned out that he was Julie's assistant.

After a few brief greetings, Qi Tongwei and others followed Julie and her assistant out of the airport and went to the hotel to rest.

On the way, Julie first congratulated Qi Tongwei, claiming that several of his works have become bestsellers, and they have continued to sell well in the past two months.

Through Julie's narration, the few people learned that the three works of Qi Tongwei, paperback and hardcover editions, have sold a total of 2180 million copies worldwide.

Among them, The Da Vinci Code was the most crazy, with sales of 650 million copies in the Ugly Country alone and 1280 million copies worldwide; The Rise of Great Powers sold 560 million copies worldwide; and The Qin Empire also sold more than 320 million copies.

When they heard that Qi Tongwei's novel had such great sales, they were all extremely excited.

"Mr. Qi, our chairman has decided to adjust the royalties for your three works to 15%. This is the current income from your three books." Julie handed Qi Tongwei a financial accounting document.

"6540 million US dollars!" Qi Tongwei exclaimed.

"Yes, but you still need to pay 39.6% tax. If you are not in a hurry to use the money, you can find a professional accountant to make reasonable arrangements for tax avoidance." Julie explained.

"Let me think about it." When Qi Tongwei thought about paying tens of millions of taxes to the Ugly Country, he felt a pain in his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

After thinking about it, Qi Tongwei decided to send the news back to China to hear their opinions on whether tax avoidance was necessary.

Then, Julie began to introduce the upcoming itinerary.

It can be said that it was extremely intensive, and they wanted to treat Qi Tongwei like a donkey in the production team.

However, in order to make money, Qi Tongwei had no choice but to agree with tears.

The first night was a time difference so Qi Tongwei and the others had to adjust to the jet lag. After arriving at the hotel, they had a simple meal and went to rest. The specific work needed to start from the next day.

After Julie and others left, the two accompanying personnel immediately took action to check whether there were any monitoring devices in the hotel room.

"Mr. Qi, nothing was found."

"Mr. Qi, I didn't find anything here either." The two shook their heads.

"You two should report the tax issue!" Qi Tongwei said in a low voice.

Then he said, "I understand. You two should go and have some rest. You will be busy in the next few days."

After the two left, Qi Tongwei walked up to Pei Qianqian and hugged her from behind.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a very good mood." Qi Tongwei asked in a low voice.

"Tongwei, I don't think I'm worthy of you." After listening to Julie's narration today, he realized how great Qi Tongwei's achievements were.

"Silly boy, what are you thinking about?

You didn't despise me just because I was a poor kid from the countryside, so how could I not want you? "Qi Tongwei hugged the other person tightly, giving him the greatest sense of security.

"Yeah." Pei Qianqian leaned her head on Qi Tongwei's shoulder and looked out the window.

"Qianqian, after returning from Ugly Country this time, I want to go to your house first, and then we will go to my house. What do you think?" Qi Tongwei lowered his head and smelled Pei Qianqian's hair.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Pei Qianqian was just about to invite Qi Tongwei to her house, but now that Qi Tongwei had taken the initiative to ask, she didn't need to say anything.

The two chatted for a while and then went to rest.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Qi Tongwei did some boxing first, and then read the newspaper of the time on the balcony. He wanted the news from Mexico.

In the previous life, because of the global financial crisis in 08, Gao Xiaoqin gave Qi Tongwei a popular science explanation of the manifestations and main forms of previous financial crises.

For this reason, Qi Tongwei remembered that the Mexican financial crisis began in December 1994 and would begin in more than half a month. It seemed that he needed to speed up his actions.

Prepare enough funds as early as possible to make a fortune in the stock market and foreign exchange market.

After 8 o'clock, Julie arrived at the hotel on time to pick up Qi Tongwei.

This morning Qi Tongwei will visit HarperCollins Publishing Group, in the afternoon Qi Tongwei will prepare to sign books, and in the evening there will be a welcome dinner for him.

Qi Tongwei had no objection to Chou Guo's arrangement. What he was most anxious about now was to get his royalties and make a fortune by taking advantage of Mexico's financial crisis.

HarperCollins Publishing Group was very welcoming to Qi Tongwei, and even the president personally greeted him at the door. It seemed that what Kung Fu Li said was right, as long as you can bring benefits to the other party and let them treat you like a lord, that's fine.

The so-called visit is an opportunity to demonstrate strength. Julie personally told Qi Tongwei about the greatness of HarperCollins Publishing Group.

The core idea is to prove that this is a great partner and prevent Qi Tongwei from changing jobs.
