The next day, I got out of bed in a daze.

When I got out of bed, I thought I was in Iceland, and my feet fell to the ground...... The bed in this bedroom is 20 centimeters taller than in Iceland, and these 20 centimeters determine the softness of the bed.

A bed that can sink people down is no joke.

Turn off the air conditioner, open the windows to let in the cool air outside, and want to go shopping, but make a difficult choice when considering what to wear to go out.

The wet and cold weather in Rongcheng doesn't feel too warm no matter what you wear.

It's snowing heavily in Iceland right now, and when it falls on your clothes, it doesn't turn into water immediately, so even if you build a snowman on the snow or roll on the ground, your clothes are always dry.

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

I took a look at the weather...... Fine.

Ditch the thick down jacket you brought back from Iceland and find a faux fur jacket in your closet that you bought last year, lined with a gray turtleneck, which is warm without looking bulky.

Taking the elevator downstairs, the community is filled with fresh air with the scent of grass in the early morning, and at a glance, I know that the property is pushing a machine to prune those more lush weeds.

The New Year is approaching, and there are many decorations on the streets.

Some old shops will hang red lanterns, passing by the old street, you can see the wooden door pasted with couplets and blessing characters, and the proprietress of the restaurant you frequented is skillful and pasted freshly cut window grilles on both walls.

As soon as Ye Kai entered the door, the boss immediately found out that it was him and shouted, "You haven't been here for a while, and you've 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 elderly machines, so they are not too interested in the current celebrities or anything, for them, stars should be in the era of Andy Lau and Zhou Huajian.

In addition to the window grille on the wall, there is also a WeChat collection code, which is their daughter's WeChat.

The business in the store is not bad, although Ye Kai didn't ask, but he guessed that this daughter could receive at least 3,000 yuan a month, and he didn't know if it was the pocket money they gave his daughter.

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

It's late now, and except for people like Ye Kai who get up late, no one will come to the store for breakfast at this time, so there are only four customers.

Ye Kai said: "Well, I went abroad. Two fritters and three fritters. ”

The proprietress took a plate to fill Ye Kai with oil cakes and fritters, and the boss also took a porcelain bowl with sugar and put it in front of Ye Kai, with two spoonfuls of sugar in advance, and then lifted a large kettle and poured soy milk into the porcelain bowl.

The hot soy milk quickly melted the sugar, and the fritters and oil cakes were also served at this time.

The oil cake is actually a dough cake, there is a red bean filling in it, Ye Kai loves to eat the red bean filling in the oil cake, if it weren't for the fact that this thing is too greasy, Ye Kai can even eat this one thing to his heart's content.

There are fritters sold all over the country, but this kind of oil cake is available in some places and not in some places, this snack is not divided into regions, it is the same as fritters, but it depends on the master's craftsmanship.

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

The boss who came up for Ye Shiduan's fritters was surprised when he heard this, wiped his hand on his waist and said, "Going abroad? Ouch, it's amazing! It's going to be quite hot abroad now, right? I heard that it's the opposite of the season in our country." ”

"It depends on the country, most of them have the same season as ours. ”

If you want to talk about it in detail, you have to carefully tell the uncle what is the southern hemisphere and what is the northern hemisphere, and then talk about the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres...... It's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two.

So Ye Kai chose to simplify the answer.

Anyway, the tourist places frequented by the Chinese people are generally in Europe and some countries in Asia, these countries are the same as China in terms of season, and now China is winter, and most European countries are also snowing.

"Oh oh, that's it......"

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

The main business of this shop is breakfast, and most people take it away, if it weren't for that, there must be countless people who can't wait to leave early with the boss's slow posture.

The fritters taste crispy, but if you don't want to eat them that way, you can also put them in a bowl with 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......

"Editor-in-Chief Zhou, good morning. ”

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

"It's just a matter of luck. ”

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

Maybe Langya Bang is not the IP with the highest copyright fee in 2020, but Ye Kai is not the one he co-wrote this book with, and the film and television copyright is firmly in his own hands, so he can get the highest income.

If you continue to write on the platform, this is close to 100 million in copyright fees, and it is already very good for Ye Kai to get 10 million.

"Once or twice, you can still say that you are lucky, Mr. Ye, your book is not the first year to win the best-selling championship...... Although the awards haven't started yet, I'll give you a thorough explanation, the bestseller 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 a total of three Harry Potters, with tens of millions of sales worldwide, is there any other book in the world that has such dominance last year?

Not at all.

So this is an almost internal award, it depends on whether Ye Kai goes to the award ceremony or not.

"I know, I still have to thank Editor-in-Chief Zhou and your publishing house, when you come to Rongcheng, I invite you to have a good time in Rongcheng. ”

"Haha, that's free, you're the pillar of our publishing house, we have to ask you. ”

............

After hanging up the phone, Ye Kai remembered to find an assistant.

He is a person who is very afraid of trouble, rarely deals with business cooperation, and sometimes even forgets about it directly...... For example, the film and television rights of Harry Potter, Ye Kai had long wanted to sell them.

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 a long time ago, but he just set up a setting of refusing to answer strange calls...... Until now, Alipay can still receive money from strangers every day.

In the past few months, I have averaged a few hundred dollars a day.

When he walked out of the breakfast shop, Ye Kai thought that he had to contact Warner's Macmillan, which is the most important thing in recent times, after all, if you sell the copyright one day earlier, you can see Harry Potter appear on the big screen one day earlier.

I really have to find an assistant.
