After "On * Beach" was serialized in Xiangjiang Daily for half a month, Wang Tianlin, one of Shao Yifu's right-hand men, found Shao Yifu with several copies of Xiangjiang Daily.

"Sixth brother, can you talk to Andy and ask him to transfer the adaptation rights of "Shanghai * Beach" to us, I think if it is filmed, it will definitely be a big hit!" Wang Tianlin shook these newspapers, looking a little excited.

Shao Yifu waved his hand helplessly, "Don't think about it, Menghua has already said that "Shang* Beach" and "Chu Liuxiang" are reserved for Zhuque Terrace, let's not think about it wirelessly, you better choose other ones to shoot!"

Wang Tianlin instantly withered and sighed, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, "You said that the sixth brother is also a son, why is my family's Ah Jing so much worse, he is still several years older than An Zai!"

Shao Yifu was both proud and very sorry when he heard this, "I don't know how Menghua raised such a little monster, there seems to be nothing he can't do, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I feel that he is older than me when I am with this child now." ”

Midsummer is about to pass, and the autumn of harvest is about to be ushered in, but at this time, Xiangjiang is still hot, Li Ping'an's cultivation is not enough, and he can't set up a formation to adjust the temperature, but fortunately, air conditioners are installed in every room of the mansion in the mid-levels, and he doesn't have to blow at the fan like he did in his previous life.

In September, on Labor Day in the United States, the villa welcomed a mother and daughter, who are not yet well-known, but whose families will become the most important families in the United States. The mother and son are mother Barbara Bush and son George Walker Bush.

Li Ping'an personally went out to greet the mother and son, which made Barbara's mother and son somewhat flattered, and in Europe and the United States, the status of famous writers is very high.

Li Ping'an welcomed Barbara's mother and son into the living room and boiled water and made tea himself. Li Ping'an gave the mother and son a rough explanation of China's tea-drinking culture, and personally poured them two cups of Biluochun.

Barbara took a sip and was amazed, "Mr. Li, no wonder you can write so many good articles, your knowledge is really too rich." ”

"Lady Barbara, you don't have to be so polite, I am your son and nephew at my age, you can call me Ping'an, so that I can be more relaxed. Li Ping'an beckoned the servant to hand over refreshments to George W. Bush.

"Okay!" Barbara agreed, "But Ping'an, I don't like the two books you have published recently, although I can see that these two books will make your status in the academic world go further, but the style is too cold, I still like your Harry Potter series, I don't know when the next one will be on the shelves?"

"It will be published before Christmas!" Li Ping'an smiled bitterly, "Many parents have called the office of the manager of Bantam Books, urging me to finish writing it as soon as possible, and they hope to give the new Harry Potter book to their families as a Christmas gift." ”

"My favorite is Star Wars, I don't know when the next one will be available, and my comrades and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. George W. Bush interjected. At this time, George W. Bush was still a pilot at Ellington Air Force Base.

"It will be published by the end of the year at the latest, but it was delayed because there were some problems with the idea outline. Li Ping'an finally felt some pressure to be urged.

This time, Barbara brought her son to visit Li Ping'an mainly to establish a certain connection with him, and the elder Bush has already begun to show his strength in the political arena, so the Bush family hopes to use the recent popularity of Li Ping'an to expand its influence.

Li Ping'an is well aware of the Bush family's position in the United States in the future, and that Xiangjiang is too small, and it will take 2,000 years for the mainland to allow Li Ping'an to unfold his fists, so North America is the main direction of Li Ping'an's future development, and he is very willing to establish ties with the Bush family, which has a strong military background.

Both sides had something to ask for, so they had a good conversation. In the evening, Li Ping'an called his mother back and instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Barbara and George W. Bush. After dinner, Li Ping'an invited the mother and son to stay in the villa to rest, and Barbara and George W. Bush agreed with great affection. The next day, George W. Bush left for the United States, this time on leave, and the vacation was almost over. Next, Fang Menghua accompanied Barbara to play in Xiangjiang for two days, and before leaving, she was very reluctant to Li Ping'an's mother and son, and repeatedly told Li Ping'an to talk to her regularly.

Fang Menghua was very puzzled by Li Ping'an's attention to the mother and son, "An Zai, you also attach too much importance to them!"

Li Ping'an didn't explain much to his mother, "Mom, I just feel like I'm in touch with Ms. Barbara, so when the manager of Bantam Books told me that she wanted to visit me, I agreed. When you travel to the United States on business in the future, be sure to bring a few gifts with them, and pay more attention to the movements of Bush Sr., and provide as much as you can if the family needs financial help. ”

Fang Menghua is very blind to her son, although she is puzzled by many things that Li Ping'an decides, she will try her best to help her son complete it, such as buying the copyright of almost all the songs of the Beatles some time ago.

Li Ping'an has many readers and fans, and naturally there are some celebrities, and Li Ping'an will also have a choice to contact some celebrity fans, such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, etc., with a strong purpose and utilitarianism. Recently, Elvis Presley had a bit of an economic crisis, Li Ping'an took the opportunity to let his mother buy all the music rights of Elvis Presley, but Elvis and his wife were very grateful for this, because Li Ping'an paid twice the price of the market, no comparison, no harm, in comparison, Elvis Presley's agent Parker gave Elvis Presley's wife Priscilla Presley a much worse impression, but Elvis Presley trusted this agent very much, because he was able to find many sweet girls for the lustful Elvis Presley.

In mid-November, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" were put on the shelves of Europe and the United States.

In addition to the two manuscripts of the Harry Potter series, Fang Menghua also brought to Bantam Books this time also has the manuscript of a collection of short and medium stories "A Bedtime Story of Peace", which contains more than 20 short stories such as "Toy Story", "Home Alone", "Flying House", "Dream Travel", "Paradise Cinema", "Dead Poets Society", "Monster Power Company", "Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda", "Ice Age" and so on.
