Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 212 - 210 A Different Kind of Billionaire

Flushing, in the office.

Wang Jian was sipping his coffee while watching TV.

"Sigh, it’s no longer about civil rights movements, but why are these African stars still jumping out?"

"Heh, the winds of change are too quick for them to catch up," James said with a shrug, "Besides, for stars, this is a pretty good hot topic!"

"What, don’t like the hot topic you’ve created?"

Wang Jian watched the so-called "paparazzi video" playing again on the screen, covering his face with his hand, "The main issue is the acting, it’s too embarrassing."

"Ha," Tom chuckled, pointing to his brain, "The fans don’t think so, they’ve gone completely crazy on Twitter."

"Oh, really?" Wang Jian casually clicked on his mouse, accessing Twitter.

"I knew it, the adaptation of ’Anomalies and Creatures’ didn’t have Wang’s consent!"

"Wang is the real writer here!"

"But the adaptation of ’Anomalies and Creatures’ is a massive project. Does Wang have enough funds?"

"@Wang, I can skip buying comics and figures to donate to ’Anomalies’!"

Hm?

There’s such a good thing?

Wang Jian immediately focused on this comment.

But the comments below completely shattered his beautiful dream.

"Please, Twitter has already gone public, Wang’s wealth is at least a hundred million US dollars!"

"Fuck!" Wang Jian cursed softly, leaning back in his chair.

But then, he saw the fan who actually offered hundreds of thousands of dollars, leaving a comment.

"There’s a three-year lock-up period for the stocks, Wang’s financial situation isn’t as good as everyone thinks."

"@Wang, I don’t have that much cash right now either, but I have withdrawn funds from the Madoff Foundation."

"About 45 million US dollars. Of that, 5 million US dollars can be donated to ’Anomalies and Creatures,’ no return needed!"

This...

Wang Jian swallowed, "This person must be at least a billionaire!"

He was about to type on the keyboard, ready to give the bank account to the other party.

At that moment, the TV suddenly broadcast a news flash, including his name.

"After a long silence, the Writers Association suddenly released a statement this morning."

"In the statement, they expressed support for the actions of the famous bestselling author Wang Jian." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Also, this high-threshold organization announced that Wang Jian had been granted the status of a senior association member."

"It’s noteworthy that on this announcement, there was a collective signature of the most famous American writers."

"Including American Literature’s ’living fossil’ Joseph Heller, as well as two Nobel Prize winners in Literature, Sol Bellow and Tony Morrison."

"Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky, due to health reasons, did not attend but also expressed approval through a spokesperson."

"This is the only writer to receive this honor since the ’King of Short Stories’ O. Henry."

"And the literary website owned by Wang Jian also received the high recommendation qualification from the association."

"This means that wangwen.com, second only to HarperCollins Publishers, receives the same recommended status as Random House and four other publishers."

"Next is the famous writer Stephen King, who gave an interview with our station on this matter."

What?

What have these writers imagined?

Wang Jian watched as Stephen King talked confidently in front of the camera.

"I once had a certain bias against Wang due to Twitter going public.

At that time, I thought Wang loved money more than literature.

It wasn’t until that video that I truly understood Wang’s intent.

Indeed, we writers alone are powerless against the capital-driven producers."

"What should we do then?" Stephen King looked to the camera, a rare serious expression on his face.

"Only by controlling capital, one truly has the right to speak.

Although it’s hard for us to become billionaires like Wang Jian,

Wang hasn’t been seduced by the game of capital and remains focused on bringing good works to the readers, which gives us hope."

"Mr. Stephen King, how are you so sure of this?" the reporter asked, holding a microphone.

Stephen King shrugged, regaining his smile, "I’ve come across some ’Technology Elite,’ you can look up what they did after they obtained wealth."

"If not for the love, how many can stick to their original purposes?"

Then, the screen switched back to the studio.

"Due to Mr. Stephen King’s question, our station’s reporter has compiled statistics on the first major expenditures of billionaire ’Technology Elite.’"

He pointed to the screen behind him, speaking earnestly, "Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates established a charitable foundation the day he became a billionaire.

And announced he would shift some of his focus to charitable enterprises.

Oracle founder Elson joined the National Yacht Association.

Within three days, he indulged in the world of luxury yachts.

Netscape founder Jim Clark returned to Wall Street to start investing.

Yahoo co-founder Yang Zhiyuan, bought a luxury villa."

"What about bestselling author Wang? What was he doing?" the host posed the question.

Immediately after, the TV replayed the clip, "I will fund it, I must bring the best works to the readers."

Hmm?

Stats can be made like this?

Wang Jian looked at himself, and then back at the TV screen.

The host spoke seriously, "To spend their first major payment in their field of expertise, besides Apple computer co-founder Wozniak, there’s only bestselling author Wang Jian."

"And in Silicon Valley, Mr. Wozniak is recognized as someone focused on tech research."

"He’s even considered by hackers worldwide in a global hacker survey to be the second most respectable hacker."

"So, is Mr. Wang also that obsessed with literature?"

The host paused, then said: "Now like all billionaires, he owns a charity organization."

"But this charity is also in the field of literature."

"Seeing this, I believe the viewers should have their answer."

"What I can say is, the fact that someone is still so devoted to literature in the 20th century is a fortune for literature and the United States!"

This...

I...

Wang Jian watched the list of content on the TV, at a loss for words.

James turned his head, looking deeply at Wang Jian, "Do you really... love literature that much?"

Tom muttered, "Looking at it this way, Wang."

"You really are the hope of American literature!"

Moments later, their expressions collapsed together.

"Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in!"

"It’s just too funny!"

Wang Jian finished his coffee in one gulp, flipping his friends the bird.
