Li Ping'an and Jack stayed there for another two days before returning to New Delhi, and then flew to New York.

During this trip to New York, Li Ping'an first met with the main management of Bantam Books to discuss the next development direction, and fully affirmed the past work performance of these personnel, because Fang Menghua had already set the general direction before, and Li Ping'an did not change the strategic plan set by the publishing house. In fact, now because of Li Ping'an's incursion, the scale of development of Bantam Books is much larger than that of the same period in the original time and space, and many well-known writers in the future have signed the publishing rights with Bantam Books Company, and now the company has ranked among the top ten publishing houses in North America.

During his three days in New York, Li Ping'an experienced the commercial prosperity of Manhattan, the charm of Broadway singing and dancing, and of course, the Statue of Liberty, which witnessed the city's history and the majestic building that was doomed to collapse.

After leaving New York, Li Ping'an came to the western Bush family's farm as a guest, and Barbara was very happy about Li Ping'an's arrival and prepared a very sumptuous meal to entertain him. George W. Bush also took special leave to accompany Li Ping'an for a day of play.

After dinner, George W. Bush began to ask Li Ping'an for advice, "I am going to be discharged from the military next year, and I want to study business administration at the University of Washington." Li Ping'an's achievements made Bush Jr. dare not treat him as an ordinary child.

Li Ping'an was silent for a while, then organized the language and gave his own advice, "There is nothing wrong with studying business management, but you had better study law again, I think it is more suitable for you to pursue a career in politics in the end, and your father, Uncle Bush, will definitely become a pivotal figure in American politics in the future, and when the time comes, his political legacy after retirement needs to be inherited, in my opinion, you are the most suitable person." ”

Bush Sr. has not yet made a fortune, and Bush Jr. has not set too grand a goal, but he secretly remembers Li Ping'an's remarks.

"Borrow your auspicious words, if I succeed in my studies and need financial support in the future, you can't be stingy as a rich man. Bush Jr. half-jokingly ridiculed Li Ping'an.

"Don't worry! No matter what kind of money you use in the future, I will be generous, because you are my brother!" Li Ping'an also gave his own promise.

After leaving the United States, Li Ping'an came to Australia, walked around along the western coastline, wrote down a few areas and then came to Dong*Beijing, although Li Ping'an is not very interested in the country, but he still admires the resilience of the people of Dongying. After checking the sales and popularity of his company's comics in Dong*Beijing, Li Ping'an returned to Xiangjiang with satisfaction, and originally wanted to go to Macau to see the scenery of the casino, but considering his current age, Li Ping'an had no choice but to give up.

This time he went around the world almost once in circles, and Li Ping'an's biggest gain, in addition to the treasure of the Padmanabashwamy Temple, was the deepening friendship with the Bush family.

On October 11, Li Ping'an returned home after a more than a month of absence, and for Li Ping'an's return, in addition to his mother Fang Menghua, the happiest were Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, who were his personal secretaries. In addition to bringing some specialties from New York, Sydney and Dongjing to his mother Fang Menghua, Li Ping'an also bought a set of Gucci's latest business women's clothing for each of his three daughters.

Li Ping'an, who was idle again, in addition to sorting out and sealing the treasures brought back this time, began a new round of creation. This time, he summoned all the artists of Xiangjiang Comic Weekly and assigned them a new task. This time, Li Ping'an took out "Detective Conan", "Inuyasha", "Gundream", "Saint Seiya", "Valley of the Wind", "Castle in the Sky", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Spirited Away" Eight comics, Li Ping'an was also stimulated, when he saw the comic "Doraemon" in a library in Dong*Beijing, he realized that he had missed something, this time Li Ping'an blocked almost all the roads of Miyazaki, I don't know if this animation master can have the same achievements as the original time and space.

Li Ping'an is busy here, Fang Menghua is not idle, she coordinates the resources of American DreamWorks, Xiangjiang DreamWorks and Shaw Brothers Pictures, with Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai and herself as producers, Shirley Lansing, deputy general manager of American DreamWorks, as executive producer, Bruce Lee starring, and Spielberg's "Enter the Dragon" is also ready to be released.

Li Ping'an once said to Fang Menghua that if Li Ping'an himself didn't make a move, Li Xiaolong's achievements in movies would only be four or five, and people's aesthetic fatigue of Li Xiaolong would come soon. Li Ping'an's success for a long time has made Fang Menghua believe in his son's words, so this time Fang Menghua will let go of Li Xiaolong after filming this drama with all his might. Li Ping'an didn't expect his mother to be so decisive, but Fang Menghua kept an eye on it, this time the cost of 1.5 million US dollars Dream Factory paid 1 million US dollars, the condition is that she gave up all the box office in Xiangjiang, she only needs one-third of the box office in South Asia, she wants half of the box office in Europe, and all the box office in North America belongs to the American Dream Factory, originally Zou Wenhuai was against this distribution, but Fang Menghua promised Li Xiaolong that the film dream factory would not interfere in the future, and Zou Wenhuai agreed.

Although executive producer Shirley Lansing is a newcomer, Fang Menghua is very optimistic about her ability. Shirley Lansing graduated from the University of Chicago Experimental High School in 1962. During his studies at Northwestern University, he was keen on acting activities, and in 1970, Shirley Lansing participated in a number of movies, all of which were unknown small roles, in today's jargon, they are tricks with lines. Last year, Fang Menghua, who happened to be in the American DreamWorks to organize the company's business, openly recruited a temporary assistant, Shirley Lansing signed up for the assessment, and during the interview, Fang Menghua felt the difference between this girl who was still full of youthful atmosphere, and hired Shirley Lansing as the deputy general manager of the American Dream Factory, mainly responsible for the company's film production and distribution, Shirley Lansing did not live up to Fang Menghua's expectations, and released three relatively successful independent films in a row. This time, the filming party Menghua specially transferred his favorite general over and let Shirley Lansing be responsible for the overall scheduling.

As for Spielberg, he came to the door on his own behalf, of course, he didn't originally want to direct Li Xiaolong's film, but wanted to let the American DreamWorks project "ET" The film "ET" was contacted many times before he contacted Bantam Books to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "ET", and found DreamWorks after being rejected. After Li Ping'an learned about this, Fang Menghua was choosing the director of "Enter the Dragon" at that time, and Li Ping'an recommended him. Because Spielberg had not independently directed a feature-length film at this time, Fang Menghua didn't want to use it yet, but he trusted his son and thought that the rookie director would not block Li Xiaolong, so he agreed.
