Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 425 Congratulations in Advance
The next day, he got up from the bed in a daze.

When I got out of bed, I thought I was in Iceland, and my feet missed the ground... The bed in the bedroom here is [-] centimeters higher than that in Iceland, and this [-] centimeters determines the softness of the bed.

Sink-in beds are no joke.

Turn off the air conditioner, open the windows to let in the cool air from outside, and want to go out for shopping, but when I think about what clothes to wear when I go out, I have difficulty choosing.

In the wet and cold weather of Rongcheng, no matter what I wear, I don't feel very warm.

It is snowing heavily in Iceland now, and the heavy snow will not turn into water immediately when it falls on the clothes, so even if you build a snowman on the snow or roll all over the ground, the clothes will always be dry.

It also snows in Rongcheng, but when it falls on the body or hands, it will turn into a puddle of water.

Checked the weather... sunny.

Throwing away the thick down jacket I brought back from Iceland, I found a faux fur jacket I bought last year in the closet, lined with a gray turtleneck sweater, this combination is warm without looking bloated.

Take the elevator downstairs, and the morning in the community is filled with fresh air with the fragrance of grass. It is only at a glance that the property is pushing the machine to trim the lush weeds.

The new year is approaching, and there are many decorations full of New Year's flavor on the streets.

Some old shops will hang red lanterns. Passing through the old street, you can see couplets and blessings pasted on the wooden doors. The proprietress of the restaurant I often go to is skillful and pasted freshly cut window grilles on both walls.

As soon as Ye Kai entered the door, the boss immediately found him and shouted: "You haven't been here for a while, have you been on a business trip recently?"

This is a store opened by an old couple. They usually don’t use the Internet, and their mobile phones are also old-age phones. They don’t care much about the current stars. For them, stars should be in the era of Andy Lau and Ekin Chow.

In addition to the window grilles, there is a WeChat payment code on the wall, which is their daughter's WeChat.

The business in the store is not bad. Although Ye Kai didn't ask, he guessed that the daughter can receive at least 3000 yuan a month, and I don't know if it's the pocket money they gave her.

However, it is also possible that the daughter collected it on her behalf, and the money will be resent to the old couple every once in a while.

It was relatively late now, except for late risers like Ye Kai, no one would come to the store for breakfast at this time, so there were only four customers.

Ye Kai said: "Well, I went abroad for a trip. Two oil cakes and three oil sticks."

The proprietress took a plate to put oil cakes and deep-fried dough sticks for Ye Kai, and the boss also took a porcelain bowl filled with sugar and put it in front of Ye Kai. Two spoonfuls of white sugar were put in it, and then he picked up a large kettle and poured it into the porcelain bowl. soy milk.

The hot soy milk quickly melted the sugar, and the fried dough sticks and fried dough cakes were also served at this time.

Youbing is actually a noodle cake with red bean filling in it. Ye Kai loves the red bean filling in the pancake very much. If it wasn't because it was too greasy, Ye Kai could even eat it until he was full.

There are fried dough sticks sold all over the country, but this kind of oil cake is available in some places, and some places do not. This snack is the same as fried dough sticks regardless of region, but it depends on the craftsmanship of the master.

Whether it tastes good or not depends on how well the filling is made.

The boss who served Ye Kaichuan fried dough sticks was surprised when he heard this, wiped his hand on his apron and said: "Going abroad? Oh, it's amazing! It should be quite hot abroad now, right? I heard that the season in our country is the same as that of our country. It's the other way around."

"It depends on the country, most countries have the same season as ours."

If you want to explain in detail, you have to tell the uncle carefully what is the southern hemisphere and what is the northern hemisphere, and then talk about the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres... This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

So Ye Kai chose to simplify the answer.

Anyway, the tourist destinations that Chinese people often go to are generally in Europe and some countries in Asia. These countries have the same seasons as China. Now China is in winter, and most European countries are also snowing.

"Oh oh oh, so..."

The boss also asked casually, seeing that Ye Kai had already started eating, he walked slowly to clear the table...

The main business of this store is breakfast, and most people take it away directly. If not, there must be countless people who can't wait to leave early with the slow attitude of the boss.

The fritters are crunchy, but if you don't want to eat them that way, you can put them in a bowl of soy milk.

The phone rang.

He thought it was Sun Shang calling, but when he picked it up, he found that it was Zhou Kaiwen from the publishing house...

"Good morning, Editor-in-Chief Zhou."

"Good morning, haha, I called you because the manuscript fee for last quarter has already been sent to you. Congratulations in advance, and you are the writer with the highest manuscript fee income last year."

"Good luck."

The popularity of Harry Potter was unexpected by Ye Kai, and the copyright fee of Langya Bang was sold so high, which was also something Ye Kai did not expect...

Perhaps Langya Bang is not the IP with the highest copyright fee in 2020, but Ye Kai did not co-write this novel with anyone. The film and television copyright is firmly in his own hands, so he can get the highest income.

If he continued to write on the platform, it would be pretty good for Ye Kai to get 1000 million for the nearly [-] million copyright fee.

"It's good luck once or twice. Mr. Ye, it's not the first year that your book won the best-selling title... Although the awards haven't started yet, I'll give you the bottom line. The best-selling book of the year in 2020 should be Harry Potter."

Zhou Kaiwen still felt that he was too conservative.

In the second half of last year, Ye Kai released three Harry Potter books, which together sold tens of millions of books worldwide. Is there another book in the world that had such dominance last year?
absolutely not.

So this is an almost predetermined award, and it depends on whether Ye Kai will go to the award ceremony or not.

"I see. I still have to thank Editor Zhou and your publishing house. When you come to Rongcheng, I invite you to have a good time in Rongcheng."

"Haha, that's okay, you are the pillar of our publishing house, we should invite you."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Ye Kai thought about finding an assistant.

He is a person who is very troublesome, rarely deals with business cooperation, and sometimes even forgets about it... For example, Ye Kai has long wanted to sell the film and television copyright of Harry Potter.

But until he met Stephanie in Iceland, he didn't deliberately look for the film and television company he wanted to cooperate with on Weibo or email.

In order not to change his mobile phone number, Ye Kai walked around with the number that had been exposed long ago, but set up a setting to refuse calls from strangers... Until now, Alipay can still receive money from strangers every day.

In the past few months, it has averaged several hundred yuan per day.

When Ye Kai walked out of the breakfast shop, he thought that he had to contact Macmillan of Warner Company. on the screen.

Really need an assistant.

　I wanted to make more changes yesterday, but I woke up in the morning after being dragged out to drink. My brain hurts. Today there are at least four more changes. There will be more changes this month.
