Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Zhang Xuanwen's reputation passed.

He happened to look into Wenhui's eyes.

Seeing him inside, Wen Hui paused instinctively as the door opened.

After a few seconds, Wen Hui withdrew her gaze and closed the door, but no one came in.

Zhang Xuan didn't care and continued to think about which country should he go to live for a while?

He doesn't want to go back to his hometown.

Because everyone knows him and favors come and go, it is difficult to achieve true tranquility.

A few minutes later, the door opened again.

Zhang Xuan looked up and saw a familiar figure again.

This time Wenhui closed the door and came in.

Seeing him staring straight at her, Wen Hui explained gently: There are people in other classrooms.

Zhang Xuan continued: And the doors to other classrooms are closed, so you can't get in, right?

Hearing this, Wen Hui smiled knowingly, acquiescing to this statement.

Wen Hui asked: I see that you have been running to the classroom recently. Are you encountering difficulties in writing?

Zhang Xuan said: I told you last time.

Wen Hui asked: You haven't found the inspiration to continue writing The World yet?

Zhang Xuan nodded lightly.

Wen Hui said: You can try my method.

Zhang Xuan replied: I'm thinking about it.

Then he asked: You didn't come in just now, you seemed to be afraid of me?

Wen Hui looked at him strangely and did not answer directly.

Then she chose a seat against the wall and sat down, then opened the book and started reading.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan looked away from her after staying on her for a few seconds.

Sitting by the window, looking at the rain covering the sky outside, he suddenly felt a little homesick.

I kind of miss Comrade Ruan Xiuqin.

Maybe mother and son were connected, but just then the phone rang and Ruan Xiuqin called.

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and shouted softly: Mom, I was just missing you, so you called me.

Ruan Xiuqin is living a good life now, she is energetic, and she has also learned to joke: Don't they all say that you forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law? You still miss your mother when you have a daughter-in-law by your side?

Zhang Xuan was amused and said, Mom, you are getting younger and younger as you live. It's great.

Ruan Xiuqin said kindly: Man Zai, Mom is enjoying your blessing.

Unable to hear this, Zhang Xuan said: I am your son and you are my mother. Don't talk about this.

Ruan Xiuqin was very pleased and said: I just called you to rent a house, but Shuangling didn't answer.

Is she with you? Mom wants to say a few words to her and ask her to answer the phone.

Zhang Xuan said: I am in the classroom and she is in class.

Ruan Xiuqin looked at the time and said, Jin is talking nonsense to mom. It's get out of class time now.

With her eyebrows furrowed, Ruan Xiuqin continued to ask, Are there any other girls around you?

Zhang Xuan: .

The old man replied: No, I just look for creative inspiration in the classroom and be quiet by myself.

When Ruan Xiuqin heard that she was looking for creative inspiration, she immediately said briefly: Shuangling called me last time and said she wanted to eat wild mushrooms. I sent some out this morning, please check them carefully.

good.

Zhang Xuan responded, Mom, did you go to the mountain to pick it yourself?

Ruan Xiuqin said: Teacher Tian'e and I went up to the mountain to pick it.

Zhang Xuan warned: Then please pay more attention to safety. Now is the month when bees and poisonous snakes are active.

Don't worry Manzai, Mom knows.

Ruan Xiuqin finally said: Next time you go to London, remember to visit your cousin and get her some money. A girl in a foreign country needs more money to feel more at ease.

I went to see her last time and gave her money. I'll go and see her next time I go to London.

Hey, Manzai, you're busy. Mom is dead. Mom goes to the door opposite to help. It's the 60th birthday of the door opposite.

Um…..

Before he finished speaking, the loud sound of firecrackers rang out on the other end of the phone.

Yes, it’s really a birthday.

After hanging up the phone, just as he was about to put the phone in his pocket, it rang again.

Reluctantly, he took out his cell phone that was half hidden in his pocket.

Answer.

Zhang Xuan asked: It's almost noon, aren't you taking a nap?

Tao Ge said, I'll go to bed later. I'll tell you something first.

Zhang Xuan said: What's the matter? Tell me.

Tao Ge said: We met with Arsenal's management. After three meetings, things made progress but also reached a deadlock.

Zhang Xuan asked nervously: How to say?

Tao Ge said: Arsenal needs to be rebuilt, and after hearing our intention to buy, the other party is interested in selling.

But the price differences are too great.

Zhang Xuan asked: How much does the other party want?

Tao Ge said: The lion is asking for 120 million pounds.

£120 million?

In 2003, Abramovich purchased Chelsea for only 140 million pounds.

It's now 1996. Compared with this, it is indeed very expensive.

But having said that, Chelsea in 2003 was not very strong in the Premier League and could only be regarded as a mid-range team.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a few seconds and asked, What's your ideal price?

Tao Ge said: 80 million pounds, the maximum cannot be higher than 100 million pounds.

Referring to Chelsea's price, Zhang Xuan felt that the price was acceptable.

As for whether it was reasonable or not, he didn't know.

Zhang Xuan said: I don't understand this matter. You have full authority to operate it.

Tao Ge asked: Aren't you afraid that I am greedy for money?

Zhang Xuan said calmly: You can't.

Yes, even though you don't believe it yourself, I like to hear this.

Tao Ge teased and continued to talk about business: As I said, although we intend to acquire, we must not take advantage of it.

My sister's strategy is to slowly wear them out. Let's see who has the patience?

Okay, I'll wait for your good news.

After the two talked about Arsenal for a while, the topic shifted to the main business.

Tao Ge said: “I got the sales data from Daniel last night, and the second volume of A Song of Ice and Fire sold very well.

In one month, a total of 15.63 million copies were sold in 58 countries and regions around the world.

15.63 million copies?

Zhang Xuan was very satisfied.

Very satisfied, met expectations.

However, Tao Ge went on to say: The sales volume of the second volume of Clash of Kings was quite good in the early stage, but the subsequent data showed a significant decline, showing signs of weakness.

Zhang Xuan was not surprised at all: “Under hunger marketing, it is foreseeable that there will be competition for purchases in the first half.

When the market becomes saturated, sales will naturally drop off a cliff, and I am mentally prepared.

Tao Ge praised: Okay, before I called you, I was thinking about how to comfort you, but I didn't expect you to be more understanding than me.

Zhang Xuan murmured: My sales in one month are already worth the sum of many writers' lifetime sales. What else am I dissatisfied with?

Tao Ge crossed his legs and shook them, joking: You are different. How can others compare with you? You are the best-selling author in the world.

Zhang Xuan smiled: Okay, don't give me the ecstasy soup. When will the third Harry Potter volume be released?

Tao Ge replied: Tomorrow, I remember telling you a month ago.

Zhang Xuan recalled: I forgot.

Tao Ge didn't believe it: You can forget this? This is Harry Potter, not Cats and Dogs. In terms of staying power, it is better than those books of yours.

My sister also mentioned it when chatting with Nancy yesterday. I estimate that in 10 years, Harry Potter will be the book that brings you the most wealth.

He doesn’t deny this!

Although the Clockwork Girl and A Song of Ice and Fire series are both awesome and explosive, they do not last long after all.

Harry Potter is different, it truly achieves sustainable development.

Zhang Xuan rubbed his brows: I really didn't fool you. I have a lot of things to do this month, and I have to be busy with my mobile phone, and my writing has also fallen into a bottleneck. How can I have the energy to pay attention to Harry Potter all the time?

Tao Ge said meaningfully: If Rowling heard this, she would probably faint in the bathroom crying. Harry Potter is the product of your love.

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes: Can you be more serious? Can you speak human language?

Tao Ge put her right hand on her chest, shook her hair and said, Luo Lin has formed an acquisition team and the negotiations with Manchester are going very smoothly. She will probably become the owner of the Premier League soon.

Zhang Xuan nodded: I know this, she told me.

Tao Ge was surprised: Is this young woman seducing you in private?

Zhang Xuan: .

He was really convinced.

Is there anything else?

Gone.

That's it. I'm thinking about writing.

Okay, hang up. Sister, go take a nap.

Hearing the beeping sound coming from the phone, Zhang Xuan subconsciously looked at Wen Hui.

Feeling his eyes on her, the girl stared at the book for a few seconds, then unconsciously pulled the book in front of her and blocked it on her chest.

Zhang Xuan looked away, tidied up, stood up and prepared to leave.

Just when I stood up, my phone rang again.

Oops! what is it today?

Are the calls coming in one after another?

Looking at the phone screen, there was another unfamiliar number.

After thinking for a while, he pressed the answer button.

Hello.

hello

English speaking, from the US?

Zhang Xuan deliberately looked at the small screen of his phone again and continued listening.

.Nebula Award?.reallly?.OK!.thanks

After hearing Nebula Award, Wen Hui, who had been calm just now, raised her head in time and looked at Zhang Xuan, who was two aisles away.

Nebula Award?

Zhang Xuan is a little confused!

I’m really a little confused!

I was notified that I had won the Hugo Award in April, and I went to receive the award in August.

Unexpectedly, I was notified that I had won the Nebula Award again, and I will go to the United States to receive the award on May 31st.

Zhang Xuan held the phone hard and almost yelled at the sky, feeling so happy!

It has already won two of the three major science fiction awards, leaving only the Locus Award.

By the way, in what month are the Locus Awards usually announced?

It seems to be June?

It should be June, probably between the 24th and the 30th in my memory, right?

There is still one month left, and I don’t know if “Clockwork Girl” is destined to receive this award?

But anyway, damn it!

In any case, Clockwork Girl won the Nebula Award after winning the Hugo Award, which is also known as the Nobel Prize in the science fiction world. This is really a great event in life!

This happy event instantly diluted the depression that the world had brought to him.

Seeing him overjoyed and excited where he was, Wen Hui couldn't help but ask: Nebula Award?

Zhang Xuan looked at her: Yes!

Wen Hui asked: Did the clockwork girl win the prize?

Zhang Xuan said: Yes!
