Chapter 136: A Space Odyssey 2010

ps: Thanks to a few book friends who pointed out the euro, this is mainly my negligence~~~ Forget that the European Union had not yet come out at that time. In addition, thank you Kirino Valley and Renbu Bei for their tips~~

Thomas? Cherny did not disappoint Zhao Chen, and gave Zhao Chen a satisfactory answer the next day, and the Sparta Prague Board of Directors finally agreed to Zhao Chen's request.

After signing the contract, Zhao Chen flew to London, England by plane again, and then took a non-stop car to Maiinhead, Somerset. He came this time to ask a friend to help, with Zhao Chen's understanding of him, as long as this friend is willing to help, then relying on his deep connections, Tianxia Society is enough to gain a foothold in the UK.

He is Arthur, who has been called one of the three great science fiction writers of the twentieth century? Charles? Clark, that is, the two became friends at the last Nebula Awards ceremony.

Arthur? Charles? Clark is not only the most famous science fiction writer in Britain, he is also a British knight, and once served as the president of the British Interstellar Society, it can be said that both his own status and his connections have been of decisive help to Zhao Chen.

Because Clark is very knowledgeable and understands the interaction between science and technology, he has long been influential in many scientific decisions and the government, and it was Zhao Chen who made a special trip to find this friend.

Although the two had only met once at the Nebula Awards ceremony, due to the complicated environment at the time, the two became friends and exchanged addresses with each other. Otherwise, no matter how thick-skinned Zhao Chen is, how can he come over.

Arthur? Charles? Clark's home in Maiinhead, Somersetshire, is a swath-encing manor-style building with a somewhat quaint style. When Zhao Chen saw this science fiction master, he was lying on the recliner with a notebook and didn't know what was being written.

This science fiction master has had polio before, and although he has recovered, he still has sequelae. That is the time that the root pen is not too long, and the guide zhì often has to lie down.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but Master Arthur's body is still as healthy as ever!"

"Old, not as good as you say! Mr. Zhao Chen, I didn't expect you to come to me. Have a seat! ”

Arthur pointed to the chair next to him, but he continued to write, and he didn't know what he was writing.

"Looks like Mr. Arthur is writing his new work!"

"Yes, I was inspired by this time, so I planned to write them down and make a new book. I don't know if those readers will buy it! ”

"With Mr. Arthur's strength, this new work must be quite good! If you can, you can also let me refer to it, maybe it will be a little helpful to Mr. Arthur! ”

Zhao Chen looked at the notebook in Arthur's hand, and kept thinking in his heart, wanting to get the help of Master Arthur. At the very least, you have to let them help for a reason, so as not to owe favors when you get it. Fortunately, he has watched some future sci-fi movies and several classic works of Master Arthur, which should be of some help to him.

"Mr. Zhao Chen's novel can enter the Nebula Award Candidate, which shows that it is not bad, and the strength is enough, so you can help take a look. If you think there is anything that needs to be added, just say it! ”

Master Arthur was able to achieve so many achievements, he was a proud person in his own right, but he would not despise the young man in front of him, it was really a genius in his eyes, and he couldn't generalize.

Zhao Chen took Master Arthur's manuscript and looked at it carefully. The manuscript was written in English, and Zhao Chen could understand it.

Since Master Arthur has not yet finished writing, and the science fiction novel has not yet been named, it is because Zhao Chen didn't know whether he had read this novel at first, but after seeing some of the content and plot. Zhao Chen couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he had read this science fiction novel, and it was even made into a movie in later generations.

"It turned out to be 2O1O: A Space Odyssey, and I was lucky!" Zhao Chen said secretly in his heart, but he still watched it quite carefully. I'm afraid it's another science fiction novel.

Fortunately, after Zhao Chen finished reading the half-finished novel written by Arthur, he was completely sure that this science fiction novel was the one he had read. With his unforgettable memory, he was naturally able to find this complete science fiction novel from his head, and he became confident for a while.

In fact, this science fiction novel is a series, there are four in total, and this is the second one, and the science fiction novels that can form a series are needless to say that they are quite classic.

This science fiction novel is set in the future 2o1o year, and from the point of view of this era, not only does it have a lot of relevant scientific knowledge, but it is also the technology that Master Arthur is imagining the future.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen has not only read this classic science fiction novel, but also read some future science fiction series of movies and novels, and can also give Master Arthur a lot of help. Some opinions from later generations made Master Arthur suddenly, and praised Zhao Chen's talent and strength in this regard, it is really a waste of this talent not to be a science fiction writer, Zhao Chen is a little embarrassed to say, after all, his family knows his own family affairs.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, many of your views are very helpful to me, it can be said that they have helped me a lot, and I can finish this science fiction novel faster!"

"Master Arthur doesn't need to be so polite, everyone is a friend, so naturally we have to help each other!"

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Zhao Chen should have something to do with this special trip to me, as long as you can help Mr. Zhao Chen, you just have to say it!"

Master Arthur is old and mature, in fact, when Zhao Chen made a special trip to find him, he knew that Zhao Chen must have something to help him with, but this is the second time the two have met this time, although they are friends, but the two sides are not very familiar. It was also for this reason that Master Arthur felt that if it was just a gesture, he could help, and if things were too troublesome, he would not bother to help, after all, he would not waste too much time.

But Master Arthur just didn't expect Zhao Chen to show quite an amazing talent in science fiction, and some of his ideas and opinions were even more than Master Arthur had ever thought of, which helped him a lot. In order to repay this favor, Master Arthur decided that as long as it was within his ability, he would definitely help Zhao Chen complete it, after all, these views and ideas that Zhao Chen said had a huge effect on him.

"Master Arthur, I'm not going to beat around the bush. You also know that I own a comic company, and I'm doing a good job so far! And now I want to open a comic branch in the UK, but I'm afraid that I will lose money due to my unfamiliar life, so I thought of you! Of course, if Mr. Arthur finds it difficult to do, I will not force it! ”

Arthur is a famous science fiction master after all, Zhao Chen doesn't dare to force him, even if Master Arthur doesn't help, he won't give up this connection, who knows if there will be a place to use him in the future.

Master Arthur didn't expect this to happen, this matter was simply easy for him, as long as he used his connections casually, he could take care of it. Even if he didn't have Zhao Chen's previous help, he would have agreed.

It's just the same way, Zhao Chen's move also made Master Arthur feel his strength and potential. The European comic market is not small, and the population base and wealth alone are enough to illustrate the potential. But in the same way, there are only two comic giants that can open the European comic market in this era, Shueisha and Shogakukan, and the opening is not high, after all, European local comics still occupy a dominant position, and European teenagers rarely read comics, and it is bound to be time-consuming and laborious to form a sufficient number of comic groups in Europe, which is also the main reason why other comic companies have not actively opened up the European market.

Not only that, if you want to open up the European comic market, you don't just talk about it, you also need to have the corresponding connections, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward without the help of the head snake, and gangsters in many European countries are more rampant.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, we are friends, I will naturally do my best to help in this matter!"

With Master Arthur's words, Zhao Chen was naturally very relieved. In terms of assets, this Master Arthur may not be as good as Zhao Chen, but if it is about connections in the UK, I am afraid that there are few in the whole UK that can compete with it, after all, this product belongs to the national level in the UK.

In the following time, Zhao Chen continued to discuss with Master Arthur, in addition to science fiction, it was the current international situation and opinions, which also made Zhao Chen have some gains, after all, Master Arthur's status determined that he could obtain some hidden secrets and information.

After bidding farewell to Master Arthur, Zhao Chen did not stay in Europe, but went straight back to the island country, because it had just passed the New Year, and there were always some important things to deal with.
