After spending nearly half a day at Bloomsbury, Severn returned to Notting Hill Villas.

Now Facebook's main job is Happy Farm, and there is not much else to do, so Severn rarely goes to the company recently.

The first is that Facebook is still too little in terms of funds and personnel, and it needs to concentrate on the development of a project; second, Facebook's market expansion in the UK is almost complete, and what is needed now is solid results, which they can fully handle.

During this time, Google, Yahoo and other Internet bigwigs sent people to the company to find him, but Severn was not there at the time, so it was Severn who was called by Abt.

However, when Severn learned of the intentions of these Internet tycoons, he refused to meet with them.

Because they wanted to take a stake in Facebook and buy out the rights to Happy Farm, Severn refused even without hesitation on the phone.

Severn also counted on the game's contribution to Facebook's expansion into overseas markets, how could it easily sell out the rights to Happy Farm.

And their bid fell far short of Severn's expectations, so there was nothing to negotiate about the rest of the matter.

......

Notting Hill Villas.

Because it was Saturday, Ethel stayed in the villa and didn't go to class, and when Severn returned, she was on the couch reading Severn's new book, "The Wolf Hall."

Seeing this, Severn couldn't help but smile and walked over, hugged Ethel in his arms, rubbed Ethel's delicate face and said, "How is it? The historical novel I wrote is not bad, right?" ”

Hearing this, Ethel nodded, put down the book in his hand, and looked at Severn with adoring eyes:

"Honey, you're really amazing, I didn't expect historical fiction to be written like this!"

Nowadays, British historical novels are generally decent, and no author has ever tried to describe objective historical events from the inner life of the characters, so the impact of "Wolf Hall" on readers is not ordinary.

For Ethel's sentence, Severn cannot deny, you must know that the writing technique of "Wolf Hall" has directly changed the objective reality that historical novels have always been not favored in the history of Booker Prize awards.

Therefore, Severn couldn't help but be a little proud: "Of course, after all, the name of 'genius' is not called in vain. ”

When Ethel saw Severn like this, instead of thinking that Severn was arrogant, she thought that Severn was a sign of self-confidence, because he had such ability.

Ethel couldn't help but kiss Severn, and then arched in Severn's arms, and said to Severn:

"Honey, since you're so good, can you write a romance novel about us?"

"Oh?"

Severn looked at Ethel in his arms in surprise.

"What's wrong? How could you have such an idea?"

"I don't know, it's just a whim and I want to ask you. Ethel wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly, she felt that since Severn was a writer, it would be in vain if she didn't make good use of her resources.

"Write a romance novel?"

"Yes, if we can sell like Harry Potter or your novel The Da Vinci Code, then wouldn't our love be known to people all over the world? Ethel put her arms around Severn's waist and said with a small face.

I have to say that girls treat love completely differently from boys, they are more emotional, they want romance more, and their brain circuits are basically different from boys.

Severn frowned when he heard Ethel's words.

"Harry Potter?"

Seeing Severn like this, Ethel thought that she had embarrassed Severn, and hurriedly said, "Honey, you don't have to worry too much, I'm just talking." ”

Seeing Ethel's apologetic little eyes, Severn chuckled and kissed Ethel on the forehead:

"It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's that the idea for a new book just now flashed into my head. ”

"Really?!"

Ethel covered her mouth in surprise.

"Of course, thanks to your reminder, I wouldn't have conceived the idea for this book without you. Severn pinched Ethel's little face and said.

"Me?"

Ethel was puzzled at first, and then said in surprise:

"Honey, are you going to write about our love?"

Severn nodded, "Sort of, but it's not all love between us, I'm going to adapt our love story and incorporate it." ”

"Didn't you mention Harry Potter just now? I'm going to write my next novel in that genre. ”

"Really?!"

In a short period of time, Ethel had been shocked twice by Severn, and at this time, her little eyes were full of incredulity.

Write a Harry Potter genre novel?

If the person in front of her wasn't Severn, she thought it was a joke!

No other novel has been as popular as Harry Potter so far, especially since Harry Potter has been made into a movie and will be released this year, which has increased its sales.

Only Severn's "The Da Vinci Code" can compete with one or the other, but the two are not novels of the same genre, so the comparison is not very large.

But now Severn says he wants to write a novel like Harry Potter, isn't that fantasy literature?

Wanting to compete with Harry Potter in magical literature, Ethel didn't think Severn had a chance.

Severn saw Ethel's thoughts at a glance, shook his head and said to Ethel, "What do you want? My next novel is indeed intended to be written as a magical novel, but it is not intended to be compared to Harry Potter, because it is not as good as it." ”

"Harry Potter" has a very high status in the hearts of the British people, only "The Lord of the Rings" in the last century is comparable to it.

Hearing Severn say this, Ethel was both relieved and a little regretful, if it could be compared with "Harry Potter", then her love with Severn would definitely be able to spread around the world.

However, Ethel did not dare to have such an extravagant expectation, so she asked Severn, "What is the name of your new book, my dear?"

Severn shook his head mysteriously, "I'll talk about this later, and you'll know when it's written." ”

"Okay. ”

Ethel muttered.

Severn kissed Ethel's lips with a smile, and then said with a serious expression, "My dear, I plan to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm planning to travel to the U.S. recently, and it may take a while to come back. ”

"What are you doing in the United States?" said Ethel, who had not yet told Ethel about the partnership between Severn and Joe Sona to form Tesla.

So Severn couldn't help but explain: "Recently, I discussed with Joe Senner, Allen, and O'Neill, and the four of us are going to start a company, and now I'm going to go to the United States to find some people." ”

"Oh, how long will that take?"

Now Ethel is becoming more and more dependent on Severn, so she doesn't want to be separated from Severn for a moment.

"I don't know, I don't know what the past was like. ”

Severn is blind to the United States and doesn't know anything, because most of the Spencer family's power is in Britain, or Europe, and it is indeed a bit beyond the reach of the United States.

"Huh, isn't that going to be a long time?" said Ethel, a little upset.

"Probably, would you like to come with me?" asked Severn expectantly.

"Probably not, you think I'm you, if you don't want to go to class, you won't go to class, and I'm going to take an exam soon. As she said this, Ethel glanced at Severn with a slight resentment.

Severn's current reputation in the UK is not ordinary, so the school turned a blind eye to Severn's truancy, and Severn also gave "Dream It Possible" to the University of London, so the school opened the door to Severn.

Hearing Ethel's refusal, Severn was not surprised, but still smiled bitterly: "I also plan to let you go with me." ”

Seeing Severn like this, Ethel couldn't help but hug Severn tightly, "Are you going to leave for a long time?"

"Next Monday. ”

"So fast?"

"Hmm. ”

"No, I'm going to squeeze you dry before that, so you don't have to go out and mess with the flowers. ”

As he spoke, Ethel took action, and Severn was naturally not polite and responded enthusiastically to Ethel.

The villa is full of spring.
