Jimmy went to Jinling, and after finishing the important matters, he returned to New York.
Regarding the network, there was no result from the discussion at that meeting. In the end, only a network department was set up in the company and one employee was assigned to it.
This employee has no other job. He is usually responsible for paying attention to domestic news trends about the Internet. Whenever there is any news, he will report it to Yuliang, who will then screen the information.
After returning to New York, Jimmy began to promote "Werewolf". He likes to compete for time in everything he does, and it is the same now. He wants to register everyone who can be registered first and promote everything he can.
In fact, before he arrived in New York, Deep Space America had already begun to do these things. After he arrived, a comprehensive plan was officially launched.
While registering the trademark, he approached Dante with the English versions of "Fatal Identity" and "Resident Evil 2".
Today, Dante is no longer the manager of the commercial department, but has been promoted to the deputy general manager of the company. In this building, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
However, even though he has been promoted, Dante's attitude towards Jimmy has not changed. Today, Jimmy is very popular in the American literary and art circles.
And now that Jimmy comes to his place, the coffee he drinks is getting better and better.
"I just like coming to your place. At least I have good coffee."
Jimmy was holding a coffee cup and looking out at New York City through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The location of Dante's new office was better than before, and he could see many things here that could not be seen in the previous office.
Dante made himself a cup of coffee and sat down on the sofa next to Jimmy, "You're here just for coffee today?"
"I won't drink your coffee for free. I've brought you a manuscript."
Jimmy put down the coffee cup and took out a document bag from his briefcase, "This is YU's new novel, a mystery type. It has been published in China and the response has been very good."
Dante also put down his coffee cup and took the manuscript from Jimmy: "Fatal Identity...Why did YU transform into writing mystery novels?"
In fact, when he heard that it was reasoning, Dante felt a little disappointed in his heart. The transformation of a writer is not easy. Although there are some writers who can handle works of multiple themes at the same time, there are very few of them, and most of them focus on a certain theme.
.
Dante's disappointment didn't show on his face, but Jimmy still saw what he was thinking.
"I've told you a long time ago that YU is an all-rounder. He is actually famous for traditional literature in China. So, you don't have to question whether he can master a variety of themes. This "Fatal Identity" has also been tested by the market, and its quality is not
any problem."
Dante smiled and said: "Jimmy, don't get me wrong. I don't think so at all. How about I ask someone from the editorial department to come over and take a look at it now and give you an answer after reading it?"
"Don't worry, I'll leave the manuscript here with you. You can read it slowly."
Jimmy doesn't want to play tricks with Dante now. He has reached the point where he doesn't need to play tricks with Bantam, and he doesn't want to waste time playing tricks.
He also has the manuscript for "Resident Evil 2" in his bag. If it were in the past, he would have used "Resident Evil 2" to help raise the price of "Fatal Identity".
But things are different now. He is starting to plan more for the future. As an old Chinese saying goes, eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
As for Jimmy, he has recently been considering whether to find a basket to put his eggs in, or even make his own basket.
With Yu Dong's current reputation, publishers of all sizes will definitely flock to him as long as he extends an olive branch.
Jimmy drank coffee quietly and admired the beautiful scenery outside the window, but the more he acted like this, the more stressful he became, so Dante hurriedly asked the head of the editorial department to come over.
…
The second day of the fifth lunar month.
The calendar says: Avoid getting married.
However, according to Yu Dong's observation, there are quite a lot of people getting married today, and Feng Ming and Wu Aiyuan are not the only ones.
Feng Ming and Wu Aiyuan both work, so there were many school teachers present that day.
The three members of the group, Yu Dong, Bi Feiyu and Yu Hua, were sitting at a table eating melon seeds. Chen Hong hugged her child and joked: "Yu Dong, Yanqiu, when are you two going to have a drink? Look.
, you suffer a lot, if you take a share, you will get a double share."
Fu Jing also joked, "It's best to have a baby soon, and then the family of three will go out to have a drink."
"You will still be able to live your life." Yu Dong said with a smile, "But when we get married and have children, none of you will be able to run away, and you will all have to give me big red envelopes."
"Speaking of big red envelopes, the gift Jimmy gave is too big. It's two hundred yuan. Lao Feng must be under pressure." Bi Feiyu said.
Yu Dong also just learned about the red envelope.
Before Jimmy returned to the United States, he met Feng Ming at school. The two had a good relationship. As they chatted about Jimmy knowing that Feng Ming was going to get married, he said that he must go then. Even if he didn't go, the ceremony would definitely come.
Later, he returned to the United States and left a red envelope for Yuliang, asking Yuliang to help with the gift.
Yuliang is also an upright guy, so he actually agreed.
I came up with the extra money today and not only paid Jimmy's two hundred yuan, but I also took out thirty yuan as a gift.
The two hundred and thirty yuan is really stressful for Feng Ming. It’s not that the money is an astronomical amount and Feng Ming can’t afford it, but it’s just that it’s hard to repay the gifts from these two people. One is an American, and the other has never paid it back before.
We are familiar with each other and have no contact with each other.
So, even though Jimmy is a China expert, he really doesn't understand some things. He thinks that two hundred yuan is not much, and he also thinks that it is okay to use the remaining amount as a gift.
The same goes for Yiliang. Unlike Jimmy, he didn't follow the advice. Yu Dong didn't know about it until he arrived at the scene. At this time, it was inappropriate for Yudong to say anything. He couldn't make the decision without authorization to reduce Jimmy's membership and then drive away Yiliang.
Let's go.
Yu Hua said with a smile, "Jimmy, this kid, still has an American head. So there is a difference between Mars and Mars and Earth."
"What about Mars?" Yu Hua was talking when Hu Changqing ran over and sat down at the table, "Yu Hua, are you going to write science fiction novels too?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Hua glanced at Hu Changqing, "Old Hu, why do you always encourage me to write some science fiction novels? Isn't it enough for you to be a science fiction novel?"
"Don't be biased against science fiction novels. Mr. Ren Laoshe has written "Cat City" before. But if you don't write science fiction novels, why are you interested in Mars?"
"I'm telling you this. As an ordinary human being, don't I even have the right to care about Mars?"
The two bickered for a while, but the topic turned to Mars. The "Cat City" Hu Changqing mentioned just now is an early science fiction novel written by Lao She. The protagonist takes a plane to explore Mars, and then the plane crashes.
Discovered a cat country full of cat people.
Compared to its sci-fi nature, this novel is more satirical. It is a very yin and yang novel. As for who is the yin and yang, it is a matter of opinion.
But when it comes to Mars, Hu Changqing has done some research, "Maybe we can live on Mars in the future. Although the photos taken by existing detectors show that Mars is dry and dusty, much like the desert Gobi, but in the past few years
A meteorite suspected to have been formed on Mars was found in Antarctica. Through the study of this meteorite, people discovered the carbonate material inside, which should have contained liquid water when it was formed. In addition, scientists said that there were fossilized bacteria inside."
Most of the people present here did not know much about astronomy, but Yu Dong knew a little bit about it. He followed Hu Changqing's topic and said: "Mars is indeed the most promising planet for us to immigrate to so far, but its detection is still there.
Preliminary stage. But I still hope to see humans land on Mars one day."
It's just a low hope, Yu Dong added silently in his heart. He is not as optimistic as others. As for when humans can land on Mars, he thinks it will take at least sixty or seventy years from now on. By then, people like them will be able to land on Mars.
How many more people can survive?
His rebirth can affect many things, but the impact on aerospace development is probably minimal.
Hu Changqing patted his head: "How about we write some novels related to Mars. My head hurts from thinking about the subject matter recently. It would be good to write about Mars."
"Novel about Mars..."
Yu Dong muttered to himself that he might not know as much about Mars as Hu Changqing, but he remembered the novel "The Martian".
To be honest, the planet Mars is not the most important point in the novel "The Martian". To write this novel, what is more needed is some general physical, chemical and biological knowledge and some engineering knowledge. Looking at the entire novel, it is actually
A cheerful diary of survival on an alien planet. The protagonist is optimistic and positive, always able to enjoy hardships, and has the ability to use limited resources to survive.
If I wanted to write a novel based on "The Martian", what would I need to prepare?
Understand those physical, chemical and plant knowledge, understand astronomy knowledge, understand...
In fact, these things are secondary, because the author of "The Martian" paved the way for him.
And most importantly, Yu Dong needs a positive, localized, and humorous protagonist.
Yu Dong suddenly looked at Yu Hua and raised his eyebrows. Isn't there one?
Then, he looked at Bi Feiyu and saw that there should be two of them.
If these two guys could be sent to Mars, they would definitely be able to perform a humorous comedy.
"What do you think we are doing? What are our plans?" Yu Hua stepped back and said, "I've seen that look in your eyes. There must be nothing good going on."
"Yes, I'm sure I'm not holding anything back." Bi Feiyu nodded.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "No, you two look good."
Bi Feiyu straightened his body and said, "Remove the 'men'."
Yu Dong grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the table, gave a little to Bi Feiyu and Yu Hua, and then said: "If you were thrown on Mars alone, the supplies would allow you to live for one year. What is the first thing in your mind?"
What is an idea? What is most wanted?”
Bi Feiyu took a bite of melon seeds and said, "You are such a vicious person."
Yu Hua thought carefully for a moment, squinted his eyes and said, "What do I want...can I have someone pick you up to accompany me?"
"If someone can pick me up, can't they pick you up?"
"You didn't mention the conditions. What if I committed some crime and was exiled to Mars?" Yu Hua said.
Yu Dong rolled his eyes and said, "You mean you want me to go to jail with you?"
"Then what crime did he commit? Not the crime of appendix?" Bi Feiyu joked.
"You have an appendix?" Yu Hua glanced at Bi Feiyu.
Bi Feiyu covered his stomach and said, "It really is."
Yu Dong shook his head. If these two go to Mars, I wonder if they can perform a humorous comedy. They will definitely not live long.
They were not given much time to discuss Mars, and the wedding banquet soon began.
It's relatively simple to get married at this time. If you don't have a wedding, you can bring a certificate and notify your relatives and friends. If you have a wedding, you can dress more formally and have a meal together. Ordinary people don't have those kinds of ceremonies when getting married.
On the contrary, weddings in rural areas are more lively, with intensive procedures and numerous ceremonies from morning to night.
Feng Ming and the others had already obtained their marriage certificate and divided up the school's house. They had been decorating it in the past few days and were waiting to move in after finishing the drinking ceremony today.
They also saw Feng Ming's parents.
Feng Ming's father is very tall and has dark skin. When he smiles, his voice can be heard throughout the hall. Feng Ming inherited more of his father's appearance, while his mother looks much petite. Standing in front of her husband, her figure is just above the shoulders.
.
His mother spoke softly and had a kind smile on everyone she met. Just now, the old couple came over to chat with Yu Dong and the others. It could be heard that Feng Ming's mother must have received a good education and spoke very well.
level.
After meeting Feng Ming's parents, it was not difficult for Yu Dong and others to understand why Feng Ming had a delicate heart under his rough appearance. His father's hardware and mother's software were combined to form the current Feng Ming.
After dinner, the guests were coaxed to the new house. Yu Dong and the others stood in the new house for a while and then left. There were too many people and there was no place to stay.
The key point is that Feng Ming and Wu Aiyuan were dragged into talking by their seventh aunt and eighth aunt, and there was no wedding ceremony.
After leaving the staff apartment, Yu Dong was thinking about "The Martian". It would be easier if he had a super memory and could memorize the full text. The key is that he can only remember a rough outline, and it would take a lot of effort to write it out.
Cheng Yanqiu looked at Yu Dong's profile and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what I said today about Mars."
Yu Dong smiled and looked at the double happiness posted on the pillar downstairs of the apartment. He felt that the whole apartment building was illuminated by the double happiness and was filled with joy.
Feng Ming and his family's room upstairs could still hear noisy voices. Yu Dong looked at Cheng Yanqiu and said, "Luoluo, let's go get the certificate on New Year's Day."
"ah?"
Cheng Yanqiu was caught off guard when Yu Dong suddenly said this. Wasn't he still talking about Mars in the previous sentence?
"It's been a year since I received the certificate on New Year's Day. After receiving the certificate, I went to Lao Wu to ask for a house. I wanted to decorate our wedding room properly. Some household appliances also need to be purchased in advance, which takes time."
Chapter completed!
