The Harry Potter signing will be held in a mall near New York's Times Square.

New York Times Square, also known as the "Crossroads of the World", is a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, USA, located at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Broadway. In this neighborhood, there are dozens of shopping malls and theaters, and it is a thriving entertainment and shopping center.

If there is one sentence to describe the impression of New York's Times Square, it is "the crazy triangle of wealth and art signings!" ”

Even in the fifties, the bustle of Times Square can still be seen here. Regardless of whether it is day or black, you can see huge electronic billboards, as well as people walking in a hurry, almost rubbing shoulders. Standing in this square, you can feel the colorful world that has expanded to infinity like crazy.

The choice of Bantan Books to hold the book signing here is a very marketing tool. As soon as the news broke, New York's Times Square was immediately surrounded by a crowd. There were Alex book fans, fans, movie fans, and reporters from various news agencies and TV stations.

What makes people feel a little different is that many children are led by their parents to the signing site.

When Alex got out of the car, he was immediately dazzled by the countless flashing lights. Fortunately, he was prepared and put on black sunglasses before getting out of the car.

The place where he got out of the car had been fenced off by security guards, and the reporters and others were all kept within a metre away. As soon as Alex appeared, he immediately heard bursts of screams and cheers.

"Alex! It's Alex coming! ”

"Alex I love you!"

"Wow! It's really him, it's him! ”

This time Alex wears a blue-black coat with a red shirt underneath and jeans underneath. This dress is completely different from other celebrities' appearances, and there is a neat, clean, and simple feeling all over the body. But it's very comfortable to watch.

He smiled as he walked to the door of the store. The flashing lights were getting brighter and more frequent, causing the brass buttons on his coat to glisten.

After entering the store. Instead of signing the sale immediately, he stood in front of a huge poster and posed for reporters to take pictures and write news.

In this process, reporters kept asking Alex questions, all of which were of concern to the American people.

A reporter asked: "Alex, do you estimate that the sales volume of this book on the same day will break the previous record?" ”

"I guess so. Otherwise, it wouldn't make much sense for me to be here. ”

A reporter also asked: "In the new record album released by the Carpenter brothers and sisters, does the song "Baby" indicate that you are in your first love?" ”

"No, I don't have anyone I like yet."

The reporter followed suit and continued to ask, "So this song describes your brother Richard's first love?" ”

After hearing this, Alex felt a little funny: "I don't know if he's in love, but I can sue you." The plot described in this song is all imaginary things, and there is no life at all. ”

"Alex, Alex, how do you feel as the youngest billionaire in the United States?"

Faced with this kind of problem, Alex spread his hands and said, "I feel the same as before. Nothing special. ”

"Alex, I heard that you were conducting closed research before, and now it has come out, does that mean that the 'Cray I' computer has been successfully developed?"

The question immediately silenced everyone else, and now that IBM and cpT are competing to develop the world's fastest computer, it is already a very noticeable thing. Many Americans are interested in this because a few years ago in the presidential election, a computer was able to accurately predict who would be elected.

In this era, personal computers have not yet become widespread. Not even a computer has ever been seen. In the eyes of ordinary people, computers are as mysterious as atomic bombs and rockets. Americans' enthusiasm for technology is unmatched by people in other countries.

Alex didn't expect someone to ask this question, he thought about it for a moment and felt that he could reveal something now. So he replied: "The computer is still under development, but the main work has been completed, and now it is in the final stage." ”

His words were simple. But the reporters were so excited that they wrote: "Alex announces that the 'Cray I' computer is nearing completion, and IBm's failure is imminent." ”

The news quickly spread around the world, and everyone thought that IBm's research was lagging behind cpT. In the competition in the computer market, cpT must take the lead. The unfavorable news led to a lack of confidence among shareholders, and IBm's stock price fell sharply, and the company's market value shrank by one-third at once.

Unexpectedly, other stocks in the stock market were affected by the chain reaction and fell accordingly, and many Americans feared that this was a precursor to a stock market crash. As a result, more people sold their stocks, further devaluing the stock market. For several days, the U.S. stock market has been in a downward spiral.

Alex saw this change, thought about it for a moment, and thought it was just an accident. He believes that the U.S. economy will continue to expand for the next decade or so, and there is no reason for the stock market to collapse like it did during the Great Depression. So, he asked his subordinates to immediately swallow shares of companies that he thought were worth investing in.

A week later, the stock market slowly climbed in the midst of the decline, and investors regained confidence and bought back the stocks that had run out. Alex almost doubled his gains in this incident. But that's a story for another time.

At the signing site, Alex was led to a large brown table by the staff. The table was placed in the lobby of the mall, and a few meters away the table was fenced with iron railings to prevent avid fans from rushing over. At the same time, there are more than 20 security guards and more than 10 bodyguards who are nervously maintaining security and order.

One by one, those fans lined up and came to this table. Some people hold books to sign Alex, others hold records, posters, autographs, comic books, and so on.

In the process of signing the autograph, Alex wrote and chatted with the book lovers. Most of them kept saying that they liked the books he wrote, the songs he sang, the movies he made, etc., and a small number of people tried to discuss some issues with him. For example, who Harry Potter ended up with, whether Voldemort is really dead and will no longer be resurrected, etc.

There are too many people. The long queue barely saw the tail. During this period, Alex tried to take a break several times, but finally dismissed the idea. He saw a lot of very young children coming here early in the morning to line up, and if they didn't get his autograph, they would probably start crying.

Slowly, a strange thing happened to him. It's just that some people have been queuing up all the time, but they have never come to his table. It turned out that these people kept letting the people behind stand in front, and some people seemed to be watching, neither leaning over nor leaving. If it weren't for his strong memory, he might not have seen this problem.

"What's going on?" Alex was a little suspicious. He beckoned one of the bodyguards to come over and whispered, "Look at who those people are, and why they are so weird." ”

The bodyguards quickly asked for the identities of these people, and it turned out that these people were also FBI agents. They were sent to protect Alex, and Director Hoover was angry at Alex's disapproval, so he sent more men over.

"Protection? I think I'm here to monitor. ”

Alex learns that the FBI has not relaxed its surveillance. He felt uncomfortable. I always feel that there are not bad and kind eyes around me staring at me, and I almost let him sign and can't sign normally.

His senses weren't wrong, and someone was watching him in the crowd. Kane and the Crazy Eight guys, each with a book, lined up in line, intending to get Alex to sign autographs. Both of them have been disguised, and on the surface, they look like ordinary book lovers.

Kane wears a pair of glasses and holds a Harry Potter book in his hand. He wears a beige coat, black trousers and leather shoes. He looked like a middle school teacher, taking his students with him to the book signing.

Crazy Eight is different, he is wearing a casual tracksuit, his face is painted with some special paint, and his complexion looks much whiter than that of Asians, a bit like a half-breed. The nose seems to have been trimmed as well. It's a little taller than he originally was. Even if it is seen by an acquaintance, it will not be recognized immediately.

"Hey, eighth! Did you see it......"

"Well, I see. A lot of people were protecting him. And not the same people. ”

"It seems that we have to wait for the opportunity, and it will alarm a lot of people in this situation."

"Then wait! Anyway, we're just coming over today to see what's going on, and we're not going to finish the task right away. ”

The two of them lined up and talked in low voices, and soon got Alex's autograph. Just as they were about to leave, something very interesting suddenly appeared.

Alex called in a bodyguard and told them to chase the FBI people away. There was some commotion at the scene, the FBI people didn't want to leave, the bodyguards wanted to use force to evict them, and the fans who didn't know the truth were watching.

Kane suddenly saw Alex take advantage of the chaos and leave, entering a toilet in the mall. At this time, he was not followed by bodyguards, and he happened to be alone.

Kane tugged at the crazy eight's clothes and said, "Good chance!" We also go to the toilet! ”

"Have you packed all your things?"

"Of course, as a professional, you can't afford not to be equipped with equipment!"

"Then let's go and see!"

The two of them also pretended to go to the bathroom, avoiding the sight of the bodyguards and the FBI, and followed. Unexpectedly, the toilet was empty. They immediately split up to find Alex.

"How? Did you find it? ”

"I didn't see him here!"

"I don't have it either!"

The two of them looked at each other, feeling that this thing was a little strange, and they couldn't understand why they saw a big living person walking in, but disappeared out of thin air.
