Chapter 413 I want to cross the Atlantic
At noon.
The slightly haggard wife Sarah returned home. Seeing this, Bell immediately poured her a glass of water.
Take inventory of property.
"Bell, I just handed over the rent that I owed for 2 months to the landlord Mrs. Bellon. She said: As long as we promise to pay the subsequent rent, the house can continue to be rented to us."
His wife Sarah changed her mind and smiled bitterly: "But I still rejected her. After all, according to our current financial situation, we are unable to rent such a house anymore."
Powerless ~
Bell gritted his teeth and said, "I'll listen to you!"
In his heart, Bell wanted to say "continue renting here" more than once, but he couldn't say it, they were almost out of money!
Men have to learn to bow their heads ~
Those who cannot kill us will eventually make us strong.
"Uh, by the way, has the University of London Press agreed to let "Facing" be published?" Sarah asked suddenly.
"No!" Bell gritted his teeth.
"It's okay! I believe you can, "Facing" will definitely be published." Sarah comforted Bell.
Will it be published?
Really?
In 2001, Bell's adventure of climbing Mount Everest "Faced" was successfully published!
However, how many people can understand the degree of hardship?
Bell and Sarah kept doing odd jobs, and after nearly 20 publishing houses rejected it, the book "Faced" was published.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'll go cook and you can rest for a while, well, or you can watch TV." Sarah kissed Bell and hurried into the kitchen.
Bell was very tired when he modified the books himself, so he turned on the TV.
The picture is an afternoon news program of ITV TV.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, I'll now announce a message to you!"
"Mr. Juke Wald, a well-known American rich man, entrepreneur and philanthropist, arrived in London at 9 am this morning. Mr. Miller, chairman of ITV Broadcasting Corporation, personally picked up the plane."
"Short afterwards, Mr. Juke Wald and Mr. Miller signed a series of new stages of cooperation agreements at the ITV broadcast building."
"ITV Broadcasting Corporation is one of the largest TV media groups in the UK. Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group has also risen rapidly in recent years and has become a media force that cannot be ignored in the United States. This time, the cooperation between the two media companies will definitely deepen the cooperative relationship and provide better-looking and better-quality film and television programs for the United States and the United Kingdom, and the world's audience."
Zhu Ke appears on the TV screen, so young and confident......
Everything makes Bell, who is lonely at this moment, envious.
Man, Bell is 26 years old this year.
What about Zhuke?
Zhuke, who is only 23 years old this year, is already a world-renowned super rich man in the United States. He has so many industries and wealth that he has surpassed countless people.
"Oh~"
"What do I want to do?"
"I'm even having trouble supporting my family now. Billionaire is too far away for me!"
Bell laughed at himself.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Bell and Sarah's house.
"Hello, is this Mr. Bell Griers' home?" A man's voice came from outside the door.
"who?"
Bell was a little surprised who it was, but he still got up and opened the door.
The door opens!
What caught Bell's eyes were two men and one woman, wearing decent suits and work clothes, which made people know at a glance that they were senior elites in society.
"You are..." Bell wondered.
The man in charge smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Alexander Povich Sannali Sergei. Of course, you can also call me Alexander. I am from the United States and serve as the director of the Presidential Office of the Jinshuguang Entertainment Group and the chief assistant to the chairman."
That’s right, the person who came was the confidant of Zhuke – Alexander!
Jinshuguang Entertainment Group?
Hearing this, Bell shuddered and blurted out: "It turned out to be you. I saw your news on TV just now, and I also saw you appear in the news."
Alexander nodded and smiled.
Immediately, everyone entered the house.
The man and woman who came with Alexander were all from Jin Shuguang Entertainment Company.
Bayer Rondo, 42, serves as vice president of Jin Shuguang Entertainment (UK) branch;
Katherine Tracy, 37, serves as deputy editor-in-chief of the Jin Shuguang Publishing (UK) branch;
Undoubtedly, both of them are under Zucker and have executive positions in British branches.
...........
"God~"
"You invite me to the show?"
"And, it's a TV adventure program led by me?!"
Bell was so excited that he could not express himself at this moment that he even felt ridiculous and a little unreal dreamy. And his wife Sarah had no intention of making lunch now.
"It's you, Mr. Bell Griers, you don't have to doubt this."
Alexander solemnly said: "As far as I know, since the second half of 1999, you have had the idea of crossing the Atlantic alone, but due to the pressure of reality and other reasons, you are still afraid to try. So, I ask you now, are you willing to try?"
What to try?
Cross the Atlantic Ocean alone!
Moreover, there is only one kayak, which only carries a small amount of food and water without assistance. It takes at least 3 to 4 months to travel around the North Atlantic Ocean, which is more than 10,000 miles.
This is definitely a huge challenge!
So far, a challenge has never been accomplished!
"No! This is really dangerous, my god~"
Before Bell could speak, his wife Sarah shook her head and refused.
However......
Bell felt his blood boiling at this moment, and he had a gene of restlessness in his bones. Since childhood, when his father came into the field to take him to climb the mountain, he yearned for such challenges and life.
Traveling through deserts;
A glacier that spans a million-year ban;
Go deep into the primeval forest covered with tigers, leopards, jackals, snakes, insects, rats and ants;
A person, a pot of water, a knife, challenges nature again and again. Isn’t such a life what Bell yearns for?!
The role of crossing the North Atlantic completely ignited Bell's uneasy blood!
"I can accomplish it, I have confidence!" Bell was very eager to achieve this challenge despite his wife Sarah's opposition.
Challenging the ocean and conquering the sea is Bell's dream.
At the same time, this challenge will also give Bell a huge monetary reward. If completed, the reward will be more, which will completely allow their family to live a better life.
£1 million!
Completed the challenge of crossing the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in America from the UK, he will receive £1 million from Kingsway Entertainment and ITV Broadcasting Corporation.
Jin Shuguang Entertainment and ITV Broadcasting Corporation will jointly complete the shooting of this challenge. The accompanying filming personnel will not give Bell a slight help, of course, unless Bell gives up this challenge.
The distance between the sea more than 10,000 miles, the disasters such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning during the period, as well as the huge psychological pressure floating on the sea for a long time, are everywhere. All of this is a huge physical and spiritual challenge to a person!
"Mr. Bell Griers, you don't have to rush to answer us."
Alexander said understandingly: "You can discuss it with your wife. Besides, the relevant legal agreements and contracts also require time to be noted."
.........
That night.
In a hotel suite in London, Alexander General Bell made a brief report to Zucker.
"I understand, I'll be assured to do your business!"
Zhuke pondered for a moment and said, "I'll leave this to you."
Alexander nodded, and he understood Zucker's importance to this matter.
Although the main purpose of Zucker's visit to London was to deepen cooperation with ITV broadcasters, Zucker definitely attached great importance to the Bell matter.
Winning Bell is equivalent to winning the future "Survival in the Wild" program.
"Survival in the Wild" program is a popular program among viewers all over the world, with extremely amazing ratings!
At the same time, if Zhuke wants to explore the TV markets in various overseas countries and regions, he needs a heavy hammer. "Survival in the Wild" is a big move.
Chapter completed!
