The Spokane Convention Center is located in the heart of the city, on the banks of the Spokane River, next to a 100-acre riverfront park.

The old and beautiful cities have a commonality, few people, beautiful scenery, good air, although it is not yet autumn, the green space next to the Spokane meeting has fallen leaves.

The award ceremony was in the evening, Liu Cixin, Liu Yukun and Zheng Wentong walked around the park, and Zhao Hailong followed behind.

"It is indeed rare to see such a large-scale green park in China, and the Century Park in Puhai is already very luxurious." Breathing in the fresh air of nature, Da Liu is in a good mood.

"One square kilometer, assuming that half of the area is used to build residential buildings, assuming that the plot ratio is 2, you can build 1 million square meters of houses, the price is 50,000, that is, 50 billion, urban development needs greening, unless the property tax pilot is expanded, and the land finance policy is changed."

Liu Yukun commented, "Mr. Zheng is really a cold businessman. ”

Zheng Wentong retorted, "Yukun, you're wrong, I'm a realistic optimist. I have always believed that the future of Slope Capital is a sea of stars. ”

"If it weren't for Da Liu to introduce me, I wouldn't have known that Mr. Zheng also had an Internet company under his name, and Mr. Zheng was also a code farmer, and there are a lot of Chinese software engineers in California."

"Fang Zhouzi is fighting fake Chai Jing in China, and someone has already forwarded the Weitoutiao article to Facebook and Twitter."

"Although Fang Zhouzi is a personal act, if Weitoutiao wants to go public in the United States at that time, there may be a stumbling block behind the Ford Foundation."

"The world is crowded, all for profit, if it weren't for seeing Da Liu come to the scene to receive the award, which would be helpful to the business of the pony galloping, I wouldn't want to run in person."

Zheng Wentong said very bluntly, Liu Cixin may not be used to this kind of businessman thinking, but Liu Yukun can understand it very well, after all, he is still a lawyer.

"No matter where you do business, no one will have trouble with money, even if I scold the CEO of Goldman Sachs today, as long as Micro Sinkco can raise more than one billion dollars in the NASDAQ IPO, Goldman Sachs will still welcome our company with a smile."

Brokerage IPO underwriting income can get 3%-5%5% of the amount of funds raised5, and the IPO of 1 billion US dollars will also bring a huge income of 50 million US dollars, and no brokerage will miss this kind of big case.

"Mr. Zheng is so optimistic about the development of Micro Ke Xinke? If I had the chance, I would like to buy some stocks. Liu Yukun joked with Zheng Wentong.

"Yukun, you are a North American lawyer, if Micro Xinke wants to complete a cross-border acquisition, I will definitely find a lawyer who is familiar with the local business to help."

Zheng Wentong plans to complete the acquisition of y in the second half of '16 and change its name to TikTok, a short video app that will take the world by storm, and the divestment of this business is worth $100 billion.

Slope Capital's North American office has been set up, located in Los Angeles, and when the awards are over, Zheng Wentong wants to stop by to check on the progress of the work.

Although he is only doing game publishing and promotion at present, he also wants to start recruiting game production talents, and Zheng Wentong wants to make the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" before the Blue Hole.

After 20 years, the senior management proposed the dual circulation of domestic and foreign economies, encouraging large Internet companies to go overseas and increase overseas revenue.

Internet giants with a market value of several trillion yuan are still in the business of grabbing vegetables, and their appearance may not be too ugly, and the good days of giants who rely on monopolizing the market to obtain huge revenues will not last long.

It was still early before the award ceremony, Zheng Wentong invited Liu Cixin and Liu Yukun to a Chinese restaurant near Spokane for dinner.

The owner of this restaurant is a third-generation Chinese, who no longer speaks Chinese, and the food has been improved to suit the taste of Lao Mei, and the Kung Pao chicken is a little sweet, but fortunately, the taste is okay.

After eating, everyone returned to the award ceremony again, and the jury of the organizing committee congratulated Liu Cixin and said that he had prepared a surprise for him, and he was fully worthy of this honor.

Liu Yukun was guessing, "I don't know what the judges said was pleasantly surprised?" ”

Zheng Wentong knew it in his heart.

Liu Cixin felt unlikely, "If this is really the case, their organizing committee will definitely say in advance, and I have to report to our foreign affairs office." ”

In the evening, the suspense was revealed, and the meeting was connected to the international space via video. Lindgren announced the best feature of the 73rd Hugo Awards 350 kilometers away:

"Three-body problem, Liu Cixin."

The Spokane Convention Center was boiling and thunderous in applause. Zhang Ran, a cutting-edge Chinese science fiction writer, was at the scene, and many Chinese people were crazy, and they felt very high.

Liu Cixin wears a plaid shirt, jeans, and black-rimmed glasses. The middle-aged man who looked like a physics teacher was a little emotional, and first hugged Liu Yukun and then Zheng Wentong.

"Astronauts present you with awards from the International Space Station, what a row! Well, it's time to go up and claim your prize! Zheng Wentong patted Da Liu on the back and motioned for him to come on stage.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honour for me to be nominated for a Hugo Award. I have read a lot of Hugo Award works, many of which have been translated and published in Huaxia, and some of which I have had to read in English. ”

"For me, the Hugo Award seemed so far away that I never thought I would cross paths with it. Between the two distant cultural planets of Chinese and English, there is a spaceship that connects them, and that is Liu Yukun, the translator of "The Three-Body Problem". ”

"He has a thorough understanding of both Eastern and Western cultures, and the final translation is almost perfect. As a science fiction writer who doesn't write in English, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart. ”

"I would also like to thank Huaxia Educational Books Import & Export and Tor Books, without their cooperation, "The Three-Body Problem" would not have been able to meet American readers."

"Of course, I would also like to thank Mr. Zheng Wentong, without his help, I would not have come to the award ceremony, by the way, he is also my boss now."

Liu Cixin set his eyes on Zheng Wentong, and Zheng Wentong responded with a smile, which was also the first time he appeared in the mainstream media of Lao Mei.

"Finally, I would like to thank the readers of this book for sharing my Alien universe. The book describes a terrifying universe with many difficulties in the quest for endless space, but humanity is united in its quest to deal with the catastrophe. ”

"Whether in the science fiction world or in reality, we humans live in the same global village, different countries, different races, different genders, we need to be more united, we have to work together to deal with hunger, disease, natural disasters, and future alien invasions."

Liu Cixin's words made the people in the venue laugh again, and he began to make a closing speech, "On the magnificent sci-fi starship, I am just a small soldier and make a small contribution, thank you." ”

Liu Cixin's oriental humility in the end was still very recognized by everyone, so there was a burst of long-lasting applause in the venue.

Liu Cixin walked to the stage with the Hugo Award trophy, Zheng Wentong and Liu Cixin shook hands to congratulate, "Congratulations, congratulations, the words of thanking me were thought of temporarily, right?" I don't have anyone asking you to advertise for me. ”

"I really want to thank you, if it weren't for Mr. Zheng, you kept urging me, I would have missed this unforgettable award ceremony."

"As science fiction writers, our admiration for astronauts is natural, they are the kind of people who bring science fiction to life."

Liu Yukun also sighed at the carefulness of the organizing committee, "What's even more rare is that Karen. Lindgren wasn't just an astronaut, he was an outstanding science fiction writer, and that's what heroes cherish when they were heroes. ”

The trophy for the Hugo Award is a hexagonal brass base that also contains the metal of the wreckage of the Canadian Exploration Rocket.

Above it is a vertical black rocket, erected in the middle of a maple leaf made of brass, with the name plate of the winner and the 73rd Hugo Award on the base.

Zheng Wentong hugged Liu Cixin and Liu Yukun, greeted Zhao Hailong, "Hailong, help the three of us take a group photo", and at the same time took a group photo with Liu Xiaoliu at the Hugo Award ceremony, this photo is also quite commemorative.

Da Liu took a picture of the trophy first, and then handed the trophy to Liu Yukun to take a picture, because the Hugo Award must be written in English, Liu Yukun is the first Asian to win the Hugo Award for Feature, and the significance in the science fiction world is no less than Liu Xiang's Olympic victory.

After the group photo, many Chinese came to congratulate Liu Cixin, Zhang Ran came to take a photo with Liu Cixin, they had already met at the scene of the Galaxy Award in Shudu, China.

"Congratulations to Da Liu, officially crowned, I thought you wouldn't come to the scene at first, the award of "Three-Body Problem" proves that China's top science fiction has a world-class level."

Liu Cixin logged in to Weitoutiao on his mobile phone, and then uploaded the Spokane Convention Center, the Hugo Award trophy, and a photo of him with Liu Yukun and Zheng Wentong.

"Thanks to the Hugo Award Organizing Committee, thank you Yukun, I am very happy to win the Hugo Award, and I hope to write better works to give back to readers!"

When Liu Cixin's micro headlines were successfully released, a wave of craze was formed in an instant, and many users thought that they had seen it wrong.

Although Liu Cixin is a verified big V account, science fiction fans have always thought that this is an official agent account, not me, but the uploaded content is indeed Da Liu himself.

Netizens swiped messages and screens under Liu Cixin's micro headlines, "Big Liu is awesome, three-body V5!" ”

The domestic news media have already received the news that CCTV reporters have contacted Liu Cixin and asked for a telephone interview with him.

Zheng Wentong first contacted Wang Zhiliang, "The shopping cart link of "Three-Body Problem" can be on, and the sales data will be counted. ”

Zheng Wentong urgently contacted Zhong Lifang, "Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" has won the Hugo Award, and now it can be released to the outside world, saying that Liu Cixin participated in the screenwriting of "Crazy Aliens", and the spaceship, aliens and other sci-fi settings in the film are from Da Liu's hands. ”

Zhong Lifang really admired Zheng Wentong, she won the award through Liu Cixin, and then was interviewed by the media in Yanjing, and then talked about the production of "Crazy Alien", Shen Teng and Huang Bo have been determined to be the leading actors in the film.

She began to say that it is not easy to shoot science fiction movies, and each special effects shot costs tens of millions, and she thanked Liu Cixin for participating in the screenwriting of the film.

She once again congratulated her on winning the 73rd Hugo Awards, and she is looking forward to bringing Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" to the big screen, perhaps the era of science fiction movies in China has begun......

When Zhong Lifang revealed that almost all of Liu Cixin's sci-fi copyrights were in the hands of Pony Gallop's parent company, Slope Capital, the market was further optimistic about Pony Gallop's valuation, believing that the current valuation of Pony Galloping has exceeded 3.2 billion!

After Zhang Panpan and Song Chunli knew that Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" won the award, the couple regretted it very much and felt that they had been picked up by Zheng Wentong.

Song Chunli blamed Zhang Panpan, "Didn't you say that Liu Cixin didn't hope to win the award this time?" ”

Zhang Panpan was not angry, "How do I know, after all, this year's Nebula Award was lost, Liu Cixin himself was not confident, and he specially asked the organizing committee to inquire and asked him if he must be at the scene." ”

The organizing committee replied that although there was no precedent before, it didn't matter if he didn't go, Liu Cixin thought he had no hope of winning the award. And he was also added after someone else gave up the nomination, and the ghost knows why the judges presented him with the award! ”

Song Chunli gritted her teeth, "15 million!" 15 million bought all the copyrights of "The Three-Body Problem", and Mr. Zheng made a good calculation! ”

"We have no way, others are rich and powerful, and they must have gotten inside information in advance, otherwise why would he be in a hurry to buy the copyright of "Three-Body Problem", the two of us thought that we had taken advantage of it, and we ended up rushing to sell him the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" like two fools!"

"As long as we hold on for another half a month, we will be able to sell 50 million! You have to make that 10 million cost sci-fi online movie no matter what, otherwise you have no hope of filming "The Three-Body Problem" in your life! ”

Song Chunli looked at the photo of Zheng Wentong hugging Liu Cixin and Liu Yukun, and felt that the smiles of the three people were particularly dazzling, and she completely forgot that she had deceived Liu Cixin of the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" from Liu Cixin for only 100,000 yuan.
