Zhou Yu couldn't help but speak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Maybe." Anji shook the flashlight, from left to right, and then extended it as far as he could, and everywhere the light went, it was a wave of broken gold!

"Is it an underground lake?" Zhou Yu changed his words, the underground river should not have such a wide water, and the flashlight was illuminated for one or twenty meters, and there was still no end in sight.

"I don't know." Angie shook her head: "I only got here with them before. ”

As he spoke, Anji's flashlight pressed down, and the light came back, and he saw that in the water below, the Bodhi snake stretched out half of its body, looked up at them, and the snake kept swallowing.

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Bodhi snake conveyed a message for Zhou Yu to continue with it. But this dark and unseen underground water basin always gives people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. Even if Zhou Yu is confident and powerful, he feels a little cautious in his heart.

"There must be a big secret in this." Anji frowned and said, "I think the Bodhi snake is a psychic creature, they seem to be trying to tell me something..."

Zhou Yu almost gave a thumbs up.

The serpent did want to tell them something, but he couldn't put it into words.

Anji's zoology is really interesting, at least Zhou Yu thinks that Anji can become a teacher.

"Probably," he said. But it's too dark to have any light. It's water again, and I don't know the depth, and I don't know if there's any danger in it. And we don't have the means to cross the water, so I thought, we should go back first. ”

Of course, Angie knew this, and the two of them stood here for a while, shining around with a flashlight, but in the end they didn't see anything, so they returned to the ground the same way.

"I felt a taste of adventure." Seeing the sun again, Anji said with interest on her face: "It's like Columbus, or..., discovering something new, exploring the mystery, so feeling!" Honey, let's get ready. We need an inflatable dinghy, and enough light sources, well, and food and water, some medical supplies..."

Zhou Yu watched her count the same as breaking her fingers, and couldn't help laughing: "Then what are you waiting for?" ”

The ordinary life is indeed very pleasant. But there are times when you are still thinking about it.

Such a water area at a depth of 100 meters indeed aroused Zhou Yu's curiosity. Speaking of which, this body of water should be within the shroud range of the jade seal, but although Zhou Yu is the owner of the jade seal, he cannot observe the situation underground with the help of the jade seal. Although I can walk the jade seal, it is only a vague feeling.

Otherwise, directly through the jade seal, you can figure out what is so strange about this water.

But it's okay to participate in the exploration in person, and it is more flavorful.

The two returned home without delay. Place an order online today and buy all the tools you need to explore the darkness of the underground waters.

Inflatable rubber boats, bright enough light sources, and some related protective equipment.

Food, water, life jackets, etc., are available on the farm itself, but you don't need to buy them.

Zhou Yu didn't increase the price because of curiosity, and estimated that after placing an order, I am afraid it will be shipped over in a week. Therefore, there is no rush in the matter of exploration.

During dinner in the evening, Anji talked to Tina about the underground water basin with great interest. It's a pity that Tina is not very interested in this, which makes Angie so boring.

During the period of waiting for the arrival of the expedition equipment, Zhou Yu was not idle to do.

A few days ago, on the fifteenth, the taxes that should have been paid were all paid. Two hundred and sixty-seven billion dollars! That's a staggering number!

It is almost unbelievable that the annual tax on a single farm is close to 30 billion US dollars.

But that's just the way it is!

As soon as more than 20 billion U.S. dollars were offered, the power generated by them quickly fermented.

First of all, this tax has played a considerable role in the game between the agricultural trade group, Daxia and the United States. How to say it, like Zhou Yu, there are not many companies that can reach such a level of tax in a year, and there are not many in the entire United States. For a country, it is very important.

Although the prospect of Yuyin rice makes the tax paid by the agricultural trade group in the future not lower than this, or even higher. But what you get in your hands is the most intuitive and more important!

What if Zhou Yu is angered and someone pats his ass away?

That's realistic.

Zhou Yu did not have his current status because of the Jade Seal Farm, on the contrary, many people knew that it was because of Zhou Yu that the Jade Seal Farm was achieved. The jade seal rice is the proof.

The fact that he was able to study jade seal rice shows that he has that kind of technology that people look up to. has technology and money, even if the ass is gone now, in which other country, won't it be able to develop?

His departure is a loss for the United States!

What's more, the core figure of Yuyin International Agricultural Trade Group is Zhou Yu. Once Zhou Yu is forced away, Yuyin International Agricultural Trade Group has a great possibility to follow.

Then this is something that no one wants to see.

So, the U.S. government has to compromise.

It's not just the White House that's in mind, it's California, Santa Maria, and Seatock. This third-level area can be stained with too much light!

If the White House forcibly forced such a God of Wealth away, it can be expected that California, Santa Maria City, and Sitok will definitely make trouble!

This is the enormous influence of a world-class billionaire.

Of course, the White House can also use force. But this is a last resort - the feelings of the California consortium, the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, and other forces must be taken into account! Even considering the feelings of the entire consortium class - if you move Zhou Yu in the White House today, that is, you move the California consortium, the Morgan family, etc., then what will the other consortiums think? Will the Chicago consortium be moved again tomorrow? The day after tomorrow to move the Citi consortium?

The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, this is probably the current situation.

Zhou Yu has already crocheted a huge network of interests, even if it is a state machine, it can only do things according to the rules!

As long as he doesn't break the law, the U.S. government can't do anything about him!

This is also the biggest reason why Daxia can take away the share of Yuyin rice so easily.

In addition to the undercurrent generated by the huge influence of taxation, on the 21st, the ten high-quality novels operated by the US branch of Yuewen Group finally began to be on the shelves in the United States.

Speaking of Yuewen USA, it has been built since October last year. By mid-January of this year, it was finally fully established.

The structure of the branch is not much different from that of Yuewen headquarters, which is still based on websites.

Yuewen's main body in Daxia has eight or nine subsidiary websites, but here, there is only one. The domain name of the website is the pinyin form of Yuewen.

After the completion of the construction of Yuewen's American branch, the president of the branch followed Zhou Yu's will and immediately began to operate.

First, we partnered with Google to set up a translation department. This is the top priority. For Da Xia's works to shine in the United States, the difference in language is the biggest obstacle.

As soon as the translation department was established, it began to operate, and the translation of the 10 works that had been scheduled for a long time was put on the agenda.

Of these ten works, the shortest ones have less than one million Chinese characters, the longest ones are more than three million words, and most of them are in their early two millions! The ten works add up to more than 20 million words. The amount of work to be translated is huge.

Thanks to the cooperation with Google and the newly established translation department of Yuewen USA, the translation of these 10 works was finally completed in early April after three months of intense work.

Subsequently, through Viacom's channels, it was printed into a book, and the 21st was officially listed in the United States!

The first print run was 100,000 copies - 100,000 copies each, 200,000 words each, and a total of 1,000,000 copies in 10 copies.

This is Zhou Yu's opinion. In fact, according to the idea of the management of Yuewen's American branch, it is to print 10,000 copies each to test the water to avoid hitting the street too hard.

However, Zhou Yu felt that 10,000 copies were too shabby. Even if it's a loss, it's a loss, isn't it?

10,000 copies, what the hell?

With a stroke of the pen, 100,000!

Yuewen's management naturally couldn't resist Zhou Yu, and he obeyed his words.

The first physical books to be released were hardcover hardcovers, with a retail price of $25 per book. If all these million copies are sold, that's 25 million dollars!

Of course, if all 1 million books can be sold within a certain period of time, it will also indicate that all ten novels have a future. If all of them are printed, one volume of 200,000 words, the one with the least number of words, can also print five or six volumes, and the most is more than fifteen volumes.

According to the printing volume of 100,000 copies per 200,000 words, the total is more than 10 million copies. That's more than 200 million US dollars.

This is the ideal state.

If it sells well, of course, it will be printed in the whole set. If it doesn't sell well, it may be cut in half.

Moreover, if it sells well, after 100,000 copies, it will be reprinted.

As for the distribution of profits, in terms of authors, it starts at 8 percent, within 100,000 copies of 8 percent, and then increases by 1 percent for every 100,000 copies, and up to 15 percent.

The website takes a part, and the rest is the profit from printing, retail, and transportation.

That is to say, if the ideal state can be reached, and each book and 100,000 copies are sold out, then the Yuewen branch can get tens of millions of US dollars before tax, and the author, in total, can get about 20 million US dollars before tax, on average, each author has 2 million US dollars, which is converted into 123 million US dollars.

If this data is exceeded, that is, the number of copies sold in some novels exceeds 100,000, or even reaches 200,000, 300,000, etc., then the author's income will increase exponentially.

If you really calculate it, the profit must be stronger than that of Daxia in China -- provided that it sells well.

In fact, Zhou Yu still has some confidence.

After all, Viacom's channels and Zhou Yu's network can play a role in guaranteeing something. After all, these books will not only be released in the United States, but Viacom's channels are all over North America, Europe, and even South America and Australia.

With such a big market, 100,000 copies should be sold out, right?

Zhou Yu held an English version of "Long Pan" in his hand and thought in his heart. (To be continued.) )
