Let’s talk about Zhong Yi later.

After spending a few nights, Zhong Yi finally wrote down Harry Bott and the Secret Room.

In his previous life, Zhong Yi liked the two novels Harry Bott and Song of Ice and Fire very much. He dared not say that he memorized it, but he remembered most of the plots. In addition, Zhong Yi's literary literacy was originally excellent, so the plots he copied were basically not much different from the original work.

At this moment, the manuscript had already reached Commod's hands.

After reading a chapter of the manuscript, Commod felt relieved because the quality of the manuscript was completely fine. Compared with the first episode, Harry Bott and the Philosopher's Stone, it was even more exciting. By the time of the second episode, Hogwarts' worldview had completely unfolded, and the line of conflicts became more intense.

"Zhong, this is the contract text." Commod pushed the contract in duplicate to Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi browsed a little, then took the quill and signed the big name on the contract.

Because this is a contract with Commod Family Press, Zhong Yi signed his own name, and he could not use the name of Steve's fake author.

Commode put away the contract text, took out a check from the drawer and pushed it in front of Zhong Yi.

"Chong, this is the royalty of Harry Bott's episode 2." Commod's hand was slightly slapped, "Should it."

Zhong Yi glanced casually and said in surprise: "How could it be 3.6 million US dollars?"

"Since Harry Bott's first episode was so popular, the price of the second episode increased." Commod smiled slightly and continued, "the price increased from one dollar per volume to one dollar per volume to one dollar two, so your royalties also increased, from three million dollars to three.6 million dollars."

Zhong Yi accepted it with a smile, of course he would not think that he had too much money.

For him personally, three and six million US dollars are already an astronomical figure!

But for Yinjiang, this money is still just a drop in the bucket, because there are too many places to spend money, so let’s not talk about anything else, it will cost at least millions of dollars to build a medical and health school!

The construction projects of Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress are even more of a bottomless pit!

For the two fortresses, at least 8 Krupp 280mm fortress cannons must be equipped. Each Krupp 280mm caliber fortress cannon is priced at 80,000 US dollars, and 8 fortress cannons will be 640,000 US dollars! This has not yet calculated the shells!

These expenses are temporarily required to be paid from Harry Bott's royalties, because the funds obtained from the first phase of the auction of commercial land must be used for the projects of Yinjiang Industrial Park and must not be misappropriated.

Zhong Yi collected the check and asked casually: "Where is Steve? Are you not planning to go back to Yinjiang?"

"Steve?" Commod spread his hands and said, "He probably won't go back to Yinjiang in a short period of time."

After pausing, Commod said ambiguously: "Since Steve returned to New York, countless female book fans have met him every day, and most of them are young and beautiful female book fans, you know this."

"I understand." Zhong Yi said with a laugh, "Then let him stay in New York for free."

Zhong Yi didn't mind Steve cheating on eating, drinking and cheating the hearts of female book fans in the name of Harry Bott.

Because the more Steve is addicted to this kind of life, the more he is afraid that Zhong Yi will expose this beautiful lie. The stronger the cooperative relationship between Zhong Yi and him will be, and the less worries there will be.

When Zhong Yi was about to get up and say goodbye, he was stopped by Kang Mood.

"By the way, I almost forgot." Commod clapped his hands and said, "Zhong, a guest from Connecticut wanted to see you, and he also specifically told me to make sure to make your meeting."

"Is that true?" Zhong Yi smiled, "but I don't know which guest it was?"

Commod looked at the time and said with a smile: "It's almost time to eat, let's go to the restaurant first."

Zhong Yi followed Commod to the Embassy restaurant. After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, a big-nose white man wearing that cylindrical top hat walked in quickly.

Commod immediately stood up and introduced: "Zhong, let me introduce you to you. This is the general manager of Winchester, our famous American arms manufacturer, Mr. Winchester!"

After saying that, Commod said to Winchester Jr., "Mr. Winchester, this is Mr. Zhong Yi, the mayor of Yinjiang that you have admired for a long time."

"Mr. Zhong, it's honor to see you." Little Winchester stretched out his hands and held Zhong Yi with force.

The Americans were so enthusiastic that Zhong Yi could not hold them up, and he stretched out his hands to hold them with Little Winchester, and said, "Mr. Winchester, I have been famous for you for a long time."

Zhong Yi really didn't say anything nonsense.

Zhong Yi has been very famous for several major arms dealers in the United States.

"Mr. Zhong, you are a genius!" said Little Winchester again, "How did you think of the principle of bottom concave bombs and bottom convection bombs? Also, on behalf of Winchester Arms and Colt Arms, I would like to thank you for your generosity, for giving us the patents of bottom concave bombs and bottom convection bombs, and helping us through the most difficult time."

Zhong Yi said: "I'm sorry, the principle of the bottom concave bullet and the bottom discharging bullet was not what I thought of, but my friend."

"Is that true, your friend?" Little Winchester was stunned for a moment, and then continued, "Can I meet him?"

To be honest, Little Winchester came here with a mission. He wanted to bring Zhong Yi to join his arms company, but after arriving in Yinjiang, after learning about Zhong Yi's position and status, he gave up this plan.

But now, Little Winchester has developed a sense of hope again. If it is just Zhong Yi’s friend, there is still hope.

However, Little Winchester was soon poured with a basin of cold water by Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my friend is no longer alive."

"God." Little Winchester quickly cut a cross on his chest, but murmured, "This is really sad news. The unfortunate death of your friend is a great loss to the military and scientific community."

After a pause, Little Winchester asked again: "Mr. Zhong, your friend hasn't left anything?"

Zhong Yi immediately felt a little moved when he heard this. He was not a scientist and did not understand any advanced theories. However, he still knew about the structure of some simple infantry weapons. In addition, some infantry weapons are indeed suitable for this era, and can also be manufactured with the technology of this era, such as shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, anti-infantry directional mines, and reaction armor.

These three can be made in advance.
