    After saying that, Zhong Yi stood up and left.

    Before leaving, I borrowed a typewriter from the embassy, ??saying it was for writing novels.

    Steve wanted to leave with Zhong Yi, but Zhong Yi stopped him. Instead, he asked Steve to stay in the embassy and even asked Commodus to arrange a counselor for him.

    Zhong Yi approached Steve as an agent, not as a secretary.

    So, Steve doesn¡¯t need to be by his side all the time.

    ¡°Moreover, if Steve follows Zhong Yi all the time, some things will not be clear.

    Commodus has no objection to Zhong Yi¡¯s arrangement, and Steve has no objection at all.

    However, what the two did not expect was that Zhong Yi had someone send over the manuscript of a novel that night.

    "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?" Commodus weighed the thick stack of manuscripts in his hand and said to Steve, "I didn't expect our Lord Mayor to actually write novels."

    Steve just shrugged when he heard this, and his attention was still focused on the wine glass in his hand.

    To put it bluntly, Steve doesn¡¯t think Zhong Yi can really write any wonderful novels, especially since he is Chinese, and the novels he writes are even less likely to meet Western aesthetics, so he has no expectations at all.

    ¡°Okay, okay, let¡¯s see what our Lord Mayor wrote.¡± Commodus joked, casually turning over the manuscript and reading it roughly.

    The first few chapters are of average quality, and they barely make people want to read on.

    Especially the setting of Mr. and Mrs. Dursley and their son Dally is not too cliche. How is this setting different from Cinderella?  This kind of meme has long been used by others.

    But when little Harry hits the wall and enters platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross Station, boards train 5972, and finally arrives at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the plot suddenly becomes exciting.

    At the beginning, Commodus was still talking to Steve all the time. Later, he no longer had the intention to chat and devoted himself to the plot of the novel. Unknowingly, Commodus was completely attracted by the plot.  .

    Steve told a joke, but got no response from Commodus. Looking back, he saw that Commodus was already concentrating on reading the novel, and he came over curiously.

    "Mr. Minister, is the novel that good?" Steve asked in surprise.

    "It's wonderful!" Commodus nodded and said, "It's simply wonderful."

    "Really?" Steve picked up the manuscript that Commodus had read and said while reading, "The writing is indeed good, but the old jokes like the Dursleys are too common and have nothing new at all.  "

    "Don't rush to a conclusion, young man, keep reading." After Commodus said this, he handed over the stack of manuscripts he had read, and then began to read the remaining manuscripts. He didn't even want to wait for half a second.  .

    After a while, Steve was completely immersed in the plot of the novel.

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, at the city hall.

    Finance Director Chen Jiming excitedly knocked on the door of Zhong Yi¡¯s office.

    "Mayor, the counting work has been completed!" Chen Jiming said excitedly, "It's all done!"

    "Really?" Zhong Yi immediately became energetic, handed the fortress design sketch in his hand to Gong Weiqian, and said, "Tell me, how much is the total?"

    Chen Jiming took out a small notebook, first licked his right index finger with his tongue, then opened the notebook with his right index finger stained with saliva, and read: "In this cleaning operation, a total of sixteen gangsters, big and small, were eliminated.  Sixty-one, one hundred and seven brothels, and five hundred and nineteen opium dens.¡±

    When Zhong Yi heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.

    There are more than 500 big smoke pavilions in a small Luanjiang, less than 300,000 people!

    This shows how rampant opium has been during the Republic of China!  If smoking is not banned, will this country and this nation still have hope?

    After a pause, Chen Jiming continued: "In addition, this cleaning operation also sealed off sixteen mansions and houses, including three mansions owned by the former security division commander Chen Jinmu."

    Three mansions, Chen Jinmu¡¯s old Xiaolin mansion has also been raided!

    This is reasonable. How could Chen Jinmu¡¯s old house not be searched?

    With saliva on his fingers, he turned another page. Chen Jiming continued to read: "In this cleaning operation, the cash collected was a total of 369,709 yuan in legal currency and 160,000 silver dollars."One thousand one hundred, one thousand and thirty-six U.S. dollars, two thousand five hundred and seventeen British pounds, one thousand three hundred and sixteen taels of gold, in addition to thirty-nine large boxes of calligraphy and painting.  "

    Zhong Yi frowned. This harvest was still far from what he expected.

    The figures collected now are enough to sustain the Yinjiang Municipal Government¡¯s expenses for two months. It is far from enough to start the construction of the Yinjiang Industrial Park!

    Seeing the disappointed look on Zhong Yi's face, Chen Jiming reminded him in a low voice: "Mayor, the cash is only the small part, the real estate collected is the real big part, sixteen mansions and houses plus more than 600 shops, to say the least  It can be sold for one million yuan! And if our prospects in Yinjiang improve in the future, the price can be even higher!"

    Hearing this, Zhong Yi felt slightly better.

    ¡­¡­

    By late at night, Commodus and Steve finally read the entire manuscript.

    Steve put down the last page of the manuscript and carefully put it together.

    Over there, Commodus let out a sigh of relief and said, "This is really a wonderful novel!"

    "It is indeed!" Steve said with deep conviction, "I absolutely love this little wizard Harry to death!"

    Commodus said: "It is completely foreseeable that this Harry Potter will become an unprecedented best-selling novel!"

    "Sure, there's no doubt about it!" Steve nodded vigorously, and his eyes became enthusiastic, because Zhong Yi had said before that he would publish this novel in his name.

    In other words, he will soon become the author of this best-selling novel!

    Commodus said: "Steve, you are such a lucky guy, you have met a good employer!"

    "Thanks to your Excellency the Minister for your help." Steve said with an itch, "Your Excellency, if you send this Harry Potter book back to the United States for publication, how much royalties can you get?"

    Kang Maode said: "That depends on the sales volume."

    After a pause, Commodus continued: "The excitement and world view of this novel are definitely not as good as Tolkien's The Hobbit. Looking at the sales volume of The Hobbit, Harry Potter's sales volume is only two thousand."  Wan to the top!"

    "Twenty million? Assuming that the selling price of each copy is ten cents, and the royalty is calculated as the minimum standard of 5%, then the final royalties will be one hundred thousand US dollars!" Steve felt a little thirsty, this is really a  Unimaginable numbers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
