Chapter 82 A Different Blind Monk

Although it is not too difficult to clean up some gang organizations and make some money along the way with my current ability, I just don't want to do such a thing unless I have to, and I have the opportunity to make money legally, so of course I choose to take the legal route.
So after learning about the opportunity to make a lot of money from Amanda, he hurried back to New York.
After meeting, Amanda immediately handed a promotional poster to Li Xiao.
"The divine fist seals the enemy, and one kick determines the world. Although the eyes are blocked, the mind sees everything... The new hero Li Qing makes a shocking debut!"
The promotional posters are pretty cool, and they are still in simplified Chinese. The hastily introduced heroes are indeed to promote China, but the image of the blind monk is completely different from the blind monk in my impression.
He had a cropped haircut, wore sunglasses, and was shirtless, revealing a very well-proportioned body. He looked very similar to himself.
I looked at the promotional poster blankly, and I really didn’t know how to describe my current mood.
"Is this okay for this poster?"
“This is the first time I’ve seen a blind monk with a shaved head.”
"Of course there are other skins. This skin is specially tailored to match your image."
"Should I show that I'm flattered?"
"Don't underestimate your popularity. Otherwise, why would the employer be willing to spend a lot of money to sign a contract with you?"
"Well, have you finished the draft contract?"
"Of course, I also hired an alumni lawyer to help you with your contract. Take a look for yourself!" He said and handed a draft contract to Li Xiao.
"Amanda, why are you so free lately? Isn't the lab busy?" He asked casually while quickly flipping through the contract.
"The primate experiment has basically been completed, and volunteers with cancer are currently being recruited, so it's nothing major for the time being."
"...Why didn't Miss Helen come?"
"Why do you miss her?"
"No, just asking casually."
"She went back to Korea."
"Uh, let's go now!"
"What's your expression? You still say you don't miss her?"
"Unexpected, just a little surprised."
"Don't worry, I just had a holiday recently, so I went back to see my family and I'll be back in a few days."
"...Amanda, why have I never met your family?"
"My parents divorced when I was young, and now I live alone. Why do you ask?"
"Curious, just curious."
During the conversation, Li Xiao was also multitasking. He quickly read the draft contract and found that there was basically no problem.
The biggest surprise is that the signing party this time is actually the Penguin Group, the main financier behind Riot Games. It seems that Riot Games was completely acquired by Penguin Group more than a month ago...
(Actually, the situation is similar in reality, but Li Xiao doesn’t have much knowledge and doesn’t know the specific situation.)
After checking the contract carefully, there is really no problem. All you need to do is record some motion capture videos and hold a signing ceremony in front of the media. It won't take long to get a trap worth more than a million dollars.
Quite cost-effective.
"Amanda, are you free to accompany me to sign the contract?"
"Well, for this matter, you have to treat me to dinner."
"Of course, I'll give you a big meal every day for a month."
"Young man, you have a bright future. I am optimistic about you!"
"But you have to pay for the food and lodging along the way first."
"...All of your tens of thousands of dollars have been spent?"
"950 left."
"It is said that Chinese people like to be thrifty and like to save money. Don't you spend money too fast?"
"You just have to spend money to make money, otherwise why would I come all the way back to make extra money?"
"Are you the legendary rich second generation, but now your family is bankrupt?"
"Of course not."
Seeing that Li Xiao was unwilling to talk about family affairs, Amanda didn't ask any more questions and called to book a flight to Los Angeles.
It happened that the flight was an hour later and there were still seats left, so I booked two tickets directly, called a taxi and went straight to the airport.
It can only be said that air transportation in the United States is indeed very convenient. I departed in the morning and arrived in Los Angeles in the evening. People from Riot Games were waiting at the airport early in the morning, including several representatives from Tencent Group.
One of the Tencent representatives seemed to be old acquaintances with Amanda, and he immediately came up to him when he saw her.
"Amanda, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Hong, I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect you to become a senior executive of Tencent. Congratulations."
"It's me who congratulates you. Once the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug completes human trials, it will be enough to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine."
The two were complimenting each other enthusiastically, but Li Xiao, as the protagonist, was left aside. It was not until they got into the official car that they ended the mutual compliment.
"Miss Amanda, why do you know someone wherever you go?" After sitting down, Li Xiao finally couldn't help but complain.
"This shows that I have a wide network of contacts."
"Have you been to China before?"
"No, but that Ms. Chen studied at Harvard a few years ago. At that time, I was still studying for a doctorate at Harvard. Speaking of which, I still learned my half-baked Chinese from her."
"So, she is my senior sister?"
"My little brother is very promising. He has learned how to get married so quickly."
——
It was just for a newly released hero, and a press conference was actually held. It was indeed a bit surprising. However, the person who confirmed the signing and cooperation was actually the recently popular Kung Fu Queen Lee, which immediately attracted countless media
of competing reports.
Even the domestic CCTV media was not immune to this and sent reporters to the scene to broadcast the entire event live. Many Western media also adopted the full live broadcast model.
Penguin also officially announced that the Chinese server of League of Legends was officially launched, and the League of Legends League was launched at the same time. The first LPL appeared two years in advance...
The impact of this press conference far exceeded Li Xiao's original expectations.
"Amanda, I suddenly feel like I'm at a disadvantage."
"How can I suffer a loss after making more than a million US dollars in just two days?"
"I didn't expect that I would have such a great influence on young people. I will definitely become the target of many parents' curses in the future."
"How could it be? You are now a top student at Harvard. Shouldn't you be a role model for other people's children as parents say?"
"That's why it's troublesome. It will make many children think that playing games has a bright future. In fact, there are a few talented people in the world who make a living by playing games. If because of my promotion, many children become addicted to games, it will be terrible.
It’s so deceiving.”
"You are really worrying blindly. According to your logic, all companies that develop games should go to hell."
"...How about issuing a statement: Moderate gaming is good for health, and addiction to gaming can ruin your life. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Whatever you think is good, I don't understand what the Chinese think."
Chapter completed!
