Soon came the summer of the 20th year of the Republic of China.
Feng Zhou has completed the high school graduation exam and received a letter of certification from the local education bureau. In everyone's opinion, he only needs to complete the application process for Nankai University and get a good score in the Nankai Independent Admissions Examination, and he will be able to make great achievements.
I am sure I will get the admission notice.
Therefore, before the school admissions examination began, Feng Zhou bid farewell to Fengtian and came to Jinmen.
Since the Westernization Movement, Jinmen has become an important commercial center in the north. After Beiyang came to power, Jinmen's industry and commerce developed rapidly. After the national situation was unified, Jinmen gradually entered its heyday, and its status was not inferior to that of Shanghai.
It is the second largest commercial city in the country and the largest financial and trade center in the north. Its trade volume has accounted for one-third of the national trade volume. There are 49 domestic and foreign banks on the Financial Street, of which 12 domestic banks have their head offices in Tianjin; there are
There are more than 270 domestic and foreign insurance institutions, as well as a fully functional stock exchange.
Jinmen is also the land of canals, and has unique advantages in shipping and shipping in the country. There is a saying that "Shanghai is in the south, and Jinmen is in the north."
Fengzhou chose Nankai not only because Jinmen is located in the north, where the Gong family's influence lies, but also because there are concessions here, especially the British concession.
As long as there is a British concession, there will be British newspapers, and they will publish serial works that suit the interests of British people.
As early as a month ago, Feng Zhou had copied a copy of "Harry Potter" based on his memory and submitted it to the "Beijing-Tianjin Times".
Feng Zhou was born in an orphanage and is proficient in seven languages. When he first learned English, he spent all his time reading and reciting the original English books. He has memorized the English version of the Harry Potter series by heart.
Of course, in line with the principle of casting a wide net, he copied a dozen more copies, and the targets for submission also included the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, the Times, the Mirror, etc. in the UK, the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc. in the United States.
Although the First World War was victorious, its brutal scenes left painful memories for European and American countries. Therefore, post-war pacifism and war-weariness and fear of war were quite prevalent. In the words of Xin Qiji, "A waste pond and a tree are still full of words."
Soldiers".
Under the influence of this kind of thinking, hedonism will rise to a certain extent.
Although Feng Zhou only sent out a few chapters, the content is very rich and full of suspense, including the owl messenger, the fantastic Diagon Alley, the magical platform nine and three-quarters of the London train station, and the four major schools of Hogwarts.
and the Sorting Hat, etc., a huge magical world, although it has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, it will definitely catch the eyes of everyone who reads these chapters!
I believe that the editors-in-chief of major newspapers and periodicals will have their eyes opened when they see this book, and they will discover the brilliance of this work, and then they can’t wait to publish it, and at the same time, they will put a small amount of money into Feng Zhou’s hands.
Of course, making money is secondary, Feng Zhou’s most important thing is to enhance his reputation.
Although the center of gravity of the world economy has shifted to the New World at this time, the British Empire still has irrefutable influence in the world. If Feng Zhou spreads throughout the English-speaking world with the "Harry Potter" series, he will be able to influence British society and even the
But if you have a certain influence in the world, your words will be listened to and respected at home!
We must know that the success and influence of the Harry Potter series around the world is beyond doubt. Its author JK Rowling relied on this series of books to go from a single mother relying on government relief funds to become one of the richest women in the world.
First, he was also awarded an Honorary Lordship by the British Royal Family!
Feng Zhou didn't care about the title, and he didn't want to be a pure writer. He simply wanted to "take advantage of foreign countries to respect himself."
Of course, in order to explain that he, a Chinese, could write a pure book with a British background, he also specially wrote a preface to explain the origin of writing this book.
He wrote in the preface that he was originally a descendant of prisoners of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After his ancestors were sold to the United States to build railroads, they fled to Gotham, the United States, and settled there. He also grew up there.
His neighbor was a kind-hearted British woman named JK Rowling. Seeing that Feng Zhou was very cute, Ms. Rowling would tell him stories when she had nothing to do. This is how the story of Harry Potter came about.
It was a beautiful and peaceful day, but the beautiful days were eventually shattered. In 1929, the economic crisis that swept the world broke out. Many people became extremely poor overnight. One day when they returned home from school, they found that their home and the surrounding
All the neighbors' houses were in flames.
It turned out that some homeless people set fire to the forest in order to find a job. However, they failed to control the fire and burned down the entire area around Feng Zhou's house.
Feng Zhou's parents died, and JK Rowling also passed away.
After burying everyone, Feng Zhou used the remaining money to buy a ticket to China, because he had heard from his parents since he was a child that there were many fighters in ancient China who were able to eliminate violence and keep good people, and the most famous one at this stage
It was Gong Baosen, the master of Baguazhang, so he traveled thousands of miles to Fengtian, China, to worship Gong Baosen as his teacher.
In order to commemorate his youth, Feng Zhou compiled and wrote the stories that Ms. Luo Lin told him.
With this preface, Feng Zhou could explain why he was able to write Harry Potter, and also mentioned Gong Baosen and Baguazhang. When the book sold well all over the world, Gong Baosen also became famous all over the world.
Maybe when the world visits him, his reputation will not be lost to that of Mr. Mei Lanfang.
Of course, Feng Zhou dared to mention Gotham because he had already inquired about it. In this dimension, there was indeed a small city called Gotham on the east coast of the United States. During the economic crisis the year before last, it was destroyed by a man-made fire.
Therefore, although there was no one to see Feng Zhou off when he came to Tianjin, there was already someone waiting for him when he left the train station.
"Aha, this is the respected Mr. Feng Zhou. I am Woodhay, the editor-in-chief of the Beijing-Tianjin Times. Welcome to Tianjin."
As soon as he walked out of the station, a tall white man with a big nose came over and warmly extended his hand to shake Feng Zhou's hand.
Wood Hai glanced at Feng Zhou.
He is not tall, has a thin build, and can be considered handsome. He is a very ordinary Chinese young man.
This is his first view.
"Dear Editor-in-Chief Woodhead, I hope you have a happy stay in China." Feng Zhou said calmly, reaching out his hand to shake it gently.
"Hiss..." Woodhead grinned and shook his hands desperately.
Seeing Feng Zhou's expression as usual, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Mr. Feng, your hands are too strong."
"I'm sorry Mr. Woodhay, I am a boxer and my hands are inevitably stronger." Feng Zhou said with a smile.
"Haha, I understand." Woodhead smiled bitterly, then smiled and said: "Our car is over there, Mr. Feng, please get in the car. I have reserved a table at Qishilin and will be waiting for you."
When he said this, Woodhead showed the reserve of a British gentleman.
Although the New World was young and active and had rapid economic development, the British Empire was the center of the world.
Therefore, although the Feng Zhou in front of him had experience of living in the United States, he was not valued by Woodhead. What he valued was just the "Harry Potter" in his hand.
"Don't worry, I still have to wait for someone." Feng Zhou said with a slight smile.
Waiting for someone? Woodhead frowned slightly.
Could it be that this kid knew that he was waiting for him, so he grabbed a few friends and rode in his car together to take advantage of him?
As expected, they are Chinese people who cannot stand on the stage, and they are just a bit of a petty person.
I will give him a good squeeze later, so that I can save a lot of royalties.
What if he doesn't agree?
Haha, the "Beijing-Tianjin Times" has the greatest influence in the entire north. Without our "Beijing-Tianjin Times", who can he turn to?
Besides, with his position in the newspaper industry, he could confirm that this guy had not submitted articles to other newspapers and magazines in the Pingjin area.
Thinking of this, Woodhay smiled slightly: "Dear Mr. Feng, it is lunch time now, and Cheeseline's bread is free..."
Before he finished speaking, several white people rushed over. The first one shouted: "Dear Mr. Feng, hello, I am David Ince, the China correspondent of The Times of the British Empire. I have kept you waiting for a long time.
."
"I am a reporter from the British Mirror..."
"I am the China correspondent of the Washington Post..."
"I am the New York Times reporter in China..."
"I'm a reporter from the South China Morning Post..."
…
Seeing these acquaintances scrambling for the first place, Woodhead couldn't help but his face changed, and he was stunned.
