In the afternoon of the same day, Zhong Yi took Xiao Bing, Zhang Manyi and Zhang Mouzhi on the US Navy's Arisauna, set sail from the Jiangbei pier and quietly headed to Hong Kong.

Two days later, a group of five arrived at Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong.

The Zhang family bought property in Hong Kong in the early years and sent people to guard it.

When the five of them arrived at Victoria Harbor, they moved into the Zhang family's villa in Taiping Mountain.

Zhong Yi lived in Hong Kong for almost three days, but Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui delayed it. Zhong Yi decided not to wait any longer and immediately took Zhang Mouzhi and Xiao Bing on a seaship to Xiangshan, and then went to San Francisco via Xiangshan.

Half a month later, the three arrived in San Francisco. Zhong Yi did not alarm the embassy and consulate in San Francisco, but there were already people waiting for Zhong Yi and the others on the dock.

The housekeeper of the Commod family who came to pick them up.

Because Zhong Yi did not disclose his itinerary, the US government did not arrange for anyone to pick him up.

Zhong Yi did not stay in San Francisco for much time. He immediately took a train across the Midwest to the East Coast of the United States, and finally arrived at Commod Manor in Connecticut.

The one who came forward to receive Zhong Yi was Lao Kangmaode.

The old Commod was also the head of the family, and the Commod family was mainly engaged in publishing business.

The reason why Old Commod is so grand is mainly due to Harry Potter's face.

Because even according to the most conservative estimates, the Harry Potter series has already made tens of millions of dollars in profits for the Commod family, which is not considered the potential commercial value influence, and this is simply priceless.

However, what Old Commod was even more interested was the "Song of Ice and Fire" mentioned by Commod in the telegram.

Americans have been deeply immersed in their bones with genes of barbarity and pragmatism. Since the day their ancestors were exiled to the American continent as criminals, their genes have been solidified.

Old Commod is a typical American, and he doesn't want to say a word of nonsense to Zhong Yi.

There was not even a greeting. After the servant had served coffee, Old Commod said bluntly: "Mr. Zhong, I believe in your ability, but I am deeply suspicious of my son's unveiled "Song of Ice and Fire" in the telegram as an existence comparable to Harry Potter."

Mr. Commod has already seen Harry Potter's ability to attract money, and it is a rare bestseller in the world.

Old Commod affirmed Zhong Yi's writing skills, but he never thought he could write another series that surpassed Harry Potter, because bestsellers like this were hard to come by.

Zhong Yi was a human being in his two lives and knew very well the thinking habits of Americans.

Therefore, Zhong Yi did not say a word of nonsense and took out some of the manuscripts prepared in advance.

This part of the manuscript contains the main storyline of "Song of Ice and Fire" compiled by Zhong Yi, as well as the content of the first part. The number of words is about 200,000 words. Although the length is not very long, it is enough to set up the world view and outline several main characters, especially the Wolf's Family.

Seeing this, Old Kangmaud put on reading glasses and picked up the manuscript and read it carefully.

At the beginning of tens of thousands of words, Old Conmaud's brow was frowning. With his eyes, the story begins with a very bad start. There are so many characters in such a short space, which gives people a very chaotic feeling. However, years of experience in editing prompted him to remain quiet and not rush to express negative opinions.

Then as time passed, as the story progressed, Lao Kangmaud's brows slowly unfolded, and in the end he was even completely immersed in the plot. It was not until the manuscript was finished and Lao Kangmaud subconsciously wanted to read the next page that he found that the manuscript had been read.

Holding the manuscript lightly, Old Kangmaud's eyes were empty and a little lost.

Zhong Yi was not in a hurry, just sipped in a small sip of coffee and didn't make a sound.

After a while, Old Commod breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zhong, you didn't say a big deal. This movie can indeed be compared with Harry Potter in terms of worldview and storyline. Even the audience of this song of Ice and Fire may be larger and wider than Harry Potter."

Old Kangmaud did not deliberately say anything against his will.

In fact, as a businessman, the routine operation should be to depreciate Zhong Yi’s manuscripts to a value-for-money, so that Zhong Yi began to doubt his life, and then he won the copyright of the book at the lowest price.

But for Zhong Yi, this routine is obviously no longer applicable.

"Of course." Zhong Yi was not at all sorry.

Old Conmaud said: "I just want to ask, how much is this one written?"

The Harry Potter series has only written three episodes until now, and the manuscripts for the fourth episode have not been submitted yet, so Mr. Kangmaud is very worried that Zhong Yi will only write such an beginning.

Zhong Yi picked up the big leather box at his feet, patted it lightly, and smiled and said, "Mr. Commod, the first and second volumes of the Song of Ice and Fire are in this box."

Yes, the song of Ice and Fire has been completed.

This time when I came to the United States, Zhong Yi drifted in the Pacific Ocean for half a month. Every day, except for doing things that everyone loves to do with Xiao Bing, he has been writing dictated.

In the past half a month, plus the previous ones written, I have collected two volumes.

"God, I have already finished two volumes." Old Commod immediately showed an excited look on his face and said impatiently, "Mr. Zhong, can you see?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhong Yi directly refused, "Talk about copyright first."

"Okay OK, then let's talk about copyright first." Old Commod sat back on the sofa awkwardly.

After coughing lightly, Old Commod asked again: "Mr. Zhong, that's right. Harry Potter's royalties have actually exceeded the upper limit of a new author. Therefore, it is certain that the royalties of Brother Ice and Fire have increased, but the increase is definitely very different from other authors..."

"Not talking about royalties." Zhong Yi directly interrupted Lao Kangmaud, "This time he changed his cooperation method."

"Find a way to cooperate?" Old Kangmaud asked in surprise, "How does Mr. Zhong want to cooperate?"

"Buyout!" Zhong Yi was eager to use money, and it was a large amount of cash, so he directly proposed a buyout. "Royalty and other things are too troublesome. I urgently need money now, a lot of money, so I signed a buyout for the first two volumes of the Song of Ice and Fire. Mr. Commod might as well offer a price. If I think it is appropriate, I can sign a buyout agreement today."

Old Kangmaud pondered for a moment and asked Zhong Yi: "What is Mr. Zhong's psychological expectations?"

"I have no psychological expectations." Zhong Yi smiled, "but I believe that Mr. Commod's sincerity will definitely give me a satisfactory buyout price. I'm right?"

When Old Kangmaud heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Refusing to offer a price? That often means that expectations are very high.
Chapter completed!
