Li Ye didn't know that Pei Wencong believed in him so much, and was willing to invest the four million US dollars that he had just obtained and not yet warmed up into the foreign exchange market, and followed his noble man tightly.

If he knew, Li Ye might have persuaded Pei Wencong to say a few words.

I am the time travel emperor, and I will come back after all my money is gone. You are a grassroots man. You will not be able to survive until you are thirty. What if the bank is broken, can you bear the qi and blood?

Li Ye read the analysis report for two hours at Talang Literature Publishing House, focusing on the data of several translated versions with the best sales results.

For example, regional sales, reader reviews, and delivery speed.

Finally, he called Pei Wencong over. "Old Pei, which version do you think is the most suitable?"

Pei Wencong smiled and said, "I think it's all good, so Mr. Li needs to select the first prize winners of the prize-winning essay contest, and then we will send someone to sign a subsequent translation contract with them."

Pei Wencong was very modest and gave the decision to Li Ye completely.

Because in his opinion, the son of luck can even breathe a golden mountain with his mouth and say "very words and the Dharma". It is best for mortals not to disturb the secrets of heaven and just rub against it.

Li Ye lit six pieces of information and said, "You contact these six translators! Let them come to Hong Kong Island to receive the final award, and then formulate a rigorous translation contract."

Li Ye selected six translators, namely sales in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and evaluated the top two version translators.

When Pei Wencong saw that he was indeed the six translators with the best response to the trial sales in the market. They had different styles, but their writing skills were very strong, and they all received praise from a large number of readers.

However, he still said to Li Ye: "Mr. Li, will we choose the first prize now? Because if we are not sure whether we can get the prize, Mr. Wood may not be willing to come to Hong Kong Island."

When Li Ye gave a reward of 30,000 US dollars, there were first prizes, second prizes and digital winning prizes. The first prize was the highest, almost nearly 20,000, and the second prize was only one thousand, and the rest were purely comforting.

If you sit at home and write, you can get it. But if you fly over half of the earth, you may only get a consolation prize, then a well-known writer like Wood may not come.

After all, it is just a prize-winning essay contest organized by a magazine, and it is not an influential literary award. Who didn’t come for money?

One thousand yuan? That's not enough gas.

Li Ye smiled and said, "If they like this story, then they will come. If they just treat this as a translation job, that's not what we need."

Although Li Ye has completely constructed the background, character and plot of "Song of Ice and Fire", he does not only need a translator if he wants to make this book popular around the world and achieve the original book reviews.

Li Ye gave "Song of Ice and Fire" flesh and blood, and now he needs a suitable writer to give it a soul.

So big brands may not be suitable.

Mr. Wood of America may be an excellent writer, but if he did not like this story very much and did not have the urgent desire to translate "Song of Ice and Fire" that "can't stop", it would not be the person Li Ye was looking for.

"Okay then! I'll make arrangements now."

Pei Wen understood what Li Ye meant and immediately asked Amin to contact several translators and asked them to come to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

Although Li Ye did not say that he would meet these translators in person, Pei Wencong agreed to Li Ye's decision-making power and wanted to do the best things.

Due to the time difference, it was four or five in the morning in the Americas at this time, so before getting off work, Amin only contacted the other four translators.

Two of them clearly stated that as long as the round trip air ticket is provided, they will come as soon as possible, while one said there is no time recently.

But the other one was a little strange.

......

Summer on the British Isle is the most comfortable season of the year. The temperature is moderate, neither lukewarm nor hot, nor high, and the highest is not more than 30 degrees. There is no need for air conditioning or electric fans to help cool down.

Moreover, the days and nights in Britain are long and dark in summer. There is no need to turn on the lights from 6 am to 9 pm. This is a gift from heaven for those who like to bask in the sun.

Many people will set up a bed in their yard and enjoy the warm and bright sunshine comfortably.

But in Jonina's world, the sunlight disappeared from two years ago, leaving only cold darkness surrounded her.

"Mom, can we have lunch in advance? Dean is really hungry."

"Luisa, there are four hours left to lunch. Can you take your brother to read yesterday's storybook again?"

"But mom, we've read it many times, okay mom, we're not too hungry now."

Jonina looked at her eldest daughter, lowered her head and went to their small room, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Jonina's own stomach was so hungry that she didn't know that Louisa was comforting herself, her incompetent mother?

Jonina opened the cabinet at home and looked at the eleven potatoes of different sizes, but she really didn't dare to "soft-hearted".

The unemployment benefits will take three days to be paid! These eleven potatoes will take three days.

But what can I do if the unemployment benefits are paid?

Two years ago, after a long ties, Jonina divorced her husband who was tempted by domestic violence and moved out with her two children.

Because one child is five years old and the other is two years old, it takes a lot of time and energy, which makes Jonina exhausted and exhausted in the following days.

In a year, Jonina changed seven jobs, and she didn't do the longest one for a month.

The landlords have no surplus food, the capitalists do not support idle people, and there is no kind capitalist who is willing to hire an employee who cannot guarantee working hours or work status.

Finally, Jonina began to be afraid of finding a job and was afraid of communicating with people. Everyone around her advised her to see a psychologist.

But Jonina dared not see a psychologist. She was afraid that once she was diagnosed with a mental illness, she would deprive her ex-husband of her two children.

Although I am poor, my child can at least eat and wear well. If I throw my two children to the alcoholic, I am afraid that my five-year-old sister will cook for my two-year-old brother and my thirty-year-old father.

Jonina moved out of London and came to Manchester, where her living standards were low, and barely settled down.

Her relief is just enough for the rent of two houses, and the cost of living requires her to work hard.

With the help of several classmates and friends, Jonina found a job for the newspaper reporter "Runbi".

If this reporter needs romantic news, then Jonina needs various metaphors to describe the scary artistic conception that makes readers feel itchy.

If this reporter was a fighter of justice, then Jonina would let readers see a righteous knight who stood up to the sky, riding a thin and rugged war horse and charging towards the enemy fearlessly in his tattered armor.

Many reporters' requests are also very tricky. Jonina often feels that she is going to be driven crazy.

But in this way, she could at least make money without going out and had free time to accompany her children's growth, so she endured it.

However, the income of this kind of job is very small, so it is barely enough for the three of them to eat bread with mashed potatoes every time, and their lives are very difficult.

But hemp ropes are specialized in detail, and bad luck is specialized in suffering. Two months ago, Jonina hit an old lady on a bicycle and owed a medical bill of more than 700 pounds plus a fine bill.

Jonina had no savings at all, but she could afford it. She had no choice but to find some odd jobs to make money, but she found that more than a year of home life seemed to have made her social phobia worse.

Jonina locked herself and her children in the room, looking for all the writing opportunities that could make money, and at the same time she only had two meals a day, hoping to overcome the difficulties by increasing revenue and reducing expenses and tightening her belt.

But no matter how hard she struggled, her monthly income was only a little over one hundred pounds. If she wanted to pay off the debt of 700 pounds, she didn't know when this hard day would end.

"Lingling ~"

The phone rings at home.

Jonina, who was secretly wiping her tears, walked towards the phone suddenly without caring about wiping her tears.

Having a phone number means having a job. If it weren't for maintaining contact with those reporters, Jonina would have stopped the phone number long ago.

"Hello? I'm Jonina."

"Hello Ms. Jonina, congratulations on entering the last round of the prize-winning essay contest for "Song of Ice and Fire". Now the organizer invites you to Hong Kong Island."

Jonina was stunned for a moment, then she was ecstatic, and the tears that had just stopped began to surge again.

“Have I won the first prize?”

"Sorry, Ms. Jonina, you haven't won the award yet, and the final result needs to be announced on Hong Kong Island."

Jonina felt a little disappointed and asked, "Hong Kong Island? Where is it?"

The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and said, "Hong Kong Island is in East Asia. Ms. Jonina, the oriental pearl of our Kingdom of Great Britain, don't you read the news?"

""

"Sorry, I haven't noticed the news recently"

Jonina was ashamed because she had no TV at home and didn't even order newspapers. She didn't know that Britain was competing with the flower planter for ownership of Hong Kong Island at this moment.

"Ms. Jonina, Hong Kong Island provides round-trip flights. If you are interested, please prepare your luggage and passport. It is expected to be a flight tomorrow afternoon or evening."

"Can you not go?"

"What? Ms. Jonina, you said you couldn't go?"

""

"Yes, can I not go to Hong Kong Island? I just need to give me the final selection results and bonus."

Jonina felt panic and her voice fell down by more than a dozen decibels.

When she remembered that she wanted to take her children across half the earth, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, what final selection should she participate in if she is not familiar with the place?

How many people should I deal with during this period? How many scenes should I say?

The problem is that neither of her two children now have a few decent clothes.

In two years, both children have grown up, and their clothes were exposed with their trousers legs. Is it embarrassing to the Pacific Ocean?

"Ms. Jonina, are you going to give up the final selection of this prize-winning essay contest? You should know that your work is very popular and is likely to win the final championship."

“Ha~”

Jonina laughed silently.

When he first started translating "Song of Ice and Fire", Jonina thought she had translated very well.
