Since Chen Dingtian has decided to continue copying books, he plans to continue copying books this time, he plans to copy a book that sells well, and he will mainly focus on entertainment novels. Chen Dingtian, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", does not plan to continue to plagiarize those books that are too political, those books are already very irritating to the sensitive nerves of those European countries, if he continues to plagiarize those books, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, all European countries will be vigilant, and it will not benefit them at all. Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Dingtian to continue to plagiarize those books, only to plagiarize those entertainment books.

Entertainment books are also beneficial, that is, the general public can like them, whether they are the upper or lower classes of society, they will like entertainment novels. Even the development of the novel is far more extensive than those books that are very political, and those books that are politically strong can easily stimulate all countries, so that it is easy to involve themselves in the politics of European countries. At present, there are already three foreigner "entourage" around him, Chen Dingtian feels that the current three are enough, don't continue to increase the number of foreigner "entourage", otherwise Chen Dingtian's pressure will not be small.

"What books are you copying?" Chen Dingtian pondered.

The book had to be popular and enjoyed by all European countries. This is bound to be Western novels, which are not very popular in the European market at the moment. Judging from Truman's sales of classical Chinese novels, Chinese novels are not too popular in the West, and the payback period is very long. The payback period is long, and it is already a loss for businessmen. Truman's refusal to let Chen Dingtian continue to translate those oriental novels is already a testament to this. Merchants are after profits, and although Truman did not break the contract last time out of character and credibility, it was impossible for him to continue to enter into new orders.

"Western novels, I want to read those Western novels that are not only popular, but also shared with the vulgar. It would even be better if it could sweep the whole of Europe? Oh? By the way, isn't there a copy of this? Isn't the "Harry Potter Series" written by the British female writer Rowling a very popular book, and it can be plagiarized directly! Chen Dingtian thought.

If you want to talk about Western novels, what Chen Dingtian knows best is about the "Harry Potter series" written by the British female writer Rowling, since it has traveled to the Qing Dynasty, it is better to give the British Yankees a chance to export to domestic sales, and go back to the past to sell to the British. In this way, great wealth can be earned.

The Harry Potter series is arguably one of the most published books in the world, and the top books are Quotations from Great Men, the Bible, the Koran and the Xinhua Dictionary. However, how did the number of great man's quotations come about, so let's not mention this. As for the Biblical Quran and Xinhua Dictionary, it is probably the same, there are too many various factors, not the author's own ability.

It can be said that the Harry Potter series is the best-selling novel, and it is the book with the largest sales volume written by the real author by his own ability.

From the later generations of "Harbin fans" all over the world on five continents, you can know how "gold-absorbing" this book is, and even that Rowling can obtain a lot of wealth through this method and become the richest writer in the world, claiming to be richer than the Queen of England.

"Let's start writing the book!" Chen Dingtian said with a wicked smile.

Chen Dingtian picked up the pen and ink and brushed directly and began to copy, for Chen Dingtian, a translator, he is more familiar with the English version of the Harry Potter series than the Chinese version. So he directly began to plagiarize hard, and the writing speed was simply faster than Chinese. Hundreds of thousands of words of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were also written down by him in shorthand, and then handed over to his entourage for translation.

"You guys translated these for me!" Chen Dingtian said.

For this kind of novel, Chen Dingtian doesn't need to be mysterious, anyway, it is just some books, not involving anything too political. So he can rest assured and boldly let a few foreigners join the translator together.

"Well, guys, we're here!" Bismarck said to Venix and James Bond.

These three foreigners also followed Chen Dingtian to learn the shorthand coding, this shorthand is actually not worth mentioning, as long as it is coded according to a certain meaning, those who have a certain foundation can learn. Bismarck and the others also learned this corresponding method of shorthand and also began to translate.

Anyway, these three guys are idle, and it's okay to have them help translate some manuscripts that aren't classified. With three migrant workers who don't want money by their side, and others pay their wages for themselves, of course, they want to maximize their profits and exploit their surplus value. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the three of them watching themselves here.

However, these three guys will not refuse to translate some things for Chen Dingtian, especially since these things are likely to have secrets involving various aspects. Even if it's just something public, you can do some analysis, and as long as you have the corresponding analysis, you can get more benefits.

So although the relationship between these three guys is complicated on weekdays, at this time, they also began to take on the responsibilities of some of Chen Dingtian's literary assistants, responsible for handling some daily drafts for Chen Dingtian.

Thanks to the joint efforts of Fu Shanxiang, Guan Qin, Bismarck, Venix and James Bond, the manuscript of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was translated in just a few hours. However, Chen Dingtian still has to review the typesetting at the end, but these are some follow-up things, and this has nothing to do with Chen Dingtian.

As a book writer, he just needs to turn his manuscript into words. As for the specific typesetting and various follow-up work, you can leave it to the publisher to be responsible, and they will help you review and typeset and other affairs. As an author, he only needs to be responsible for creation, and other things are the editor's business, Chen Dingtian doesn't have to care so much, the publisher will help him solve it.

Chen Dingtian took the translated manuscript and came directly to Truman.

"Mr. Truman, how are you? How have you been doing lately? Chen Dingtian asked.

Truman sat down in his chair, and then said with a headache: "Chen, I heard that you are living a good life now and have a lot of money?" I heard you have 200,000 pounds? ”

"I'll go, who is spreading rumors! If I had 200,000 pounds, I would have written a book and retired directly! Bastard, if I knew who was spreading rumors, I would have to clean him up! Chen Dingtian scolded.

However, Chen Dingtian soon discovered that this Truman was not in a normal state, and asked directly: "Mr. Truman, my old boss, you don't seem to have a good face?" ”

"Hey, how are you doing lately? I thought that the East had opened up its market, so I wanted to come and pan for gold. However, I didn't expect that the market in the East is not large, and even the book industry I am engaged in has almost no market in the East. In the East, although it seems that there are business opportunities everywhere, many low-level people also have the habit of reading novels, and even anyone can tell a few paragraphs. It stands to reason that the business opportunities are limitless. ”

"But the problem is that there is no copyright protection in the East at all, and even if the author finally writes a book, many people who are responsible for printing the book can directly use it to print and sell it for free, and even the original author cannot get any income at all. It's a shame that there are so many people who read books, but there are few people who are willing to write books! ”

Chen Dingtian was speechless, and this was the case in the East in the late Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who read books in the East, but there were actually very few people who wrote books. In China, many people actually love to read novels, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on a Romance of the Three Kingdoms to fight the world? Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but it is enough to show that the novel industry in the Ming and Qing dynasties was a peak.

But although the pinnacle is the pinnacle, the person who writes the novel is called the "lower ninth-rate" person. In this world, everyone attaches great importance to Confucianism and regards these novels as the last stream. Even the novelists of the Warring States period had a very low status, and no one called themselves novelists at all. Even many people write novels in secret, and they don't get paid to write them. After a book is written, the businessmen who print other books can print it without paying any price, and do not need to pay any manuscript fees or royalties to the original author, which is naturally very tragic in this case.

Writing books in the Ming and Qing dynasties not only did not be looked down upon, but they had to be hidden. Not only can you not improve your social status, but you can't get an income, so naturally no one wants to write about it. At first glance, it seems that the whole China has a huge demand for the novel market, and the eldest ladies and sons in the back houses of the bureaucracy and aristocrats actually love to read them, and ordinary people also like to listen to books.

But for so many years, in fact, the storytelling scripts that went back and forth were those classics. What is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Water Margin or something, in short, it's actually just those few, and the replacement is not fast. In fact, this is also because the income and social status of those authors cannot be guaranteed, and few people are willing to join the industry to write novels.

"If one day, I can influence the whole world, I must get this law on copyright protection out! It's too pit, there is no copyright protection, it's too pit! Chen Dingtian wanted to cry.

"Mr. Truman, looking at your sad face, does it look like you're losing money?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Truman said, "Well, a lot of money was lost. At that time, I helped you send the books on the rise of that great power to England, and I originally wanted to gain some family status through some operations. But then I didn't expect that Russia would start the Crimean War first, and my family would directly transfer the rights to the rise of that great power to them this time. And this time I didn't work well, so I didn't get much political gain. ”

"Is that so? So how much money do you have now? Chen Dingtian asked.

Truman said, "Six hundred pounds, my activity fund is only six hundred pounds!" ”

Truman said that there were only six hundred pounds, which was really not too much, compared to the ten thousand pounds he had brought with him when he came.

"Mr. Truman, if you include your various movable and immovable properties in the East, how much are you still worth?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Truman replied, "It's worth about 1,200 pounds, why do you ask this?" ”

"Mr. Truman, do you dare to bet with me? If it succeeds this time, it will be possible to get six million pounds, let alone six hundred pounds. Chen Dingtian patted his chest and said.

"What? Six million pounds, are you kidding? I'm afraid that our Queen of the British Empire may not have so much money! Truman exclaimed.

Chen Dingtian promised: "Don't worry, look at it, do you dare to bet with me." If we succeed this time, then we will be one of the richest people in the world, and we won't have to worry about anything. ”

"What do you think?" Truman asked.

Chen Dingtian took out the manuscript of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and then said: "I just recently wrote a manuscript, which is a Western magic novel, I think this can bring us amazing benefits, and then we will become the richest people in the world." You have pawned all your property in the East, plus the six hundred pounds, a total of one thousand two hundred pounds, which should be used as the first batch of start-up capital. With this fund, it is completely possible to speculate on the first wave, and then it will inevitably continue to attract gold. When the time comes, we'll just be counting the money and don't have to worry about anything. ”

"Your manuscript? What manuscript can be worth so much, impossible! Truman exclaimed.

Truman was very shocked, Chen Dingtian actually said that this manuscript was worth six million pounds, and Truman did not believe it at all. How a book could be worth six million pounds, this is impossible, even by Britain's most famous author. Even Truman thought that even if Shakespeare was reincarnated, it would not be possible to sell such a high-priced manuscript!

Even if Shakespeare is a famous English writer, he can't sell it for such a high price, which is beyond the thinking of ordinary people, it is impossible!

If someone else had said this to Truman, Truman would have walked away. But this is Chen Dingtian, an old friend, so Truman didn't leave with his sleeves up. However, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he obviously didn't believe Chen Dingtian at all when he said that the manuscript was worth six million pounds.

However, Chen Dingtian went on to say: "Six million pounds? I'm afraid it's just the future manuscript fee income, and the real big head is not here! If all the revenues add up, it's definitely a market of over £60 million, and maybe even undercounted. (To be continued.) )
