Chapter 1348 Fan Economy
A word immediately emerged in Zhong Yi's mind: Fan economy.
In the era when he traveled through time, fans were equal to traffic, and traffic was equal to money. Many artists were not professional and had no acting skills at all. However, with one face, they gained millions of fans, and then relying on the support of these fans, they gained huge wealth that mortals could not imagine.
To be honest, Zhong Yi despises such traffic stars from the bottom of his heart.
But for the sake of the country and the nation, he doesn't mind being a traffic star.
Even if he would sacrifice the peace in his future life for this, Zhong Yi would do whatever he wanted.
After figuring this out, Zhong Yi said, "Mr. Commod, then follow what you said, your public identity, and then arrange for me to meet with Harry Potter readers as soon as possible."
"Lier?" Old Commod was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's great."
After saying this, Old Conmod said excitedly: "Senator McConaughey will definitely be very happy."
Zhong Yi smiled slightly when he heard this. Will McConaughey be happy? He doesn't care. He only cares whether American book fans will buy his account. He only cares about how many donations he can raise.
...
At the same time, in Huangshan, Chongqing.
That day, Principal Chang took a walk back to the study room and began to read newspaper excerpts as usual.
When I saw the New York Times summary, I was stunned because there was an article about Zhong Yi on it.
From a time perspective, Zhong Yi should have arrived at the East Coast of the United States at this time, but Principal Chang did not expect that Zhong Yi could enter the newspaper so quickly, and the influence of the New York Times. It seems that the identity of alumni of West Point Military Academy is indeed easy to be recognized by Americans.
But after reading the content of the article, President Chang immediately became a little unhappy.
Because Zhong Yi not only intervened with Senator McConaughey, who had announced his presidential election, but also gave a speech at the University of Connecticut and raised funds!
"This Zhong Yi is simply a mess."
Principal Chang retakes the briefing on the coffee table.
Mrs. Chang happened to come in and asked, "Darling is angry about the trouble of Zhong Yi and McConaughey?"
"This is not a trivial matter." President Chang knocked on the coffee table with his finger and said angrily, "You are a Chinese, but you are disturbed by the US presidential election. What is this? Besides, Roosevelt is now sitting on the presidential throne. The most important thing we are seeking aid from the US government this time is to get Roosevelt's approval. But Zhong Yi was fine, he actually got involved with his political opponents, Mom Xipi!"
Mrs. Chang smiled and shook her head and said, "Darling, you don't have to be nervous about this matter. The situation is not as serious as you think. Or, Zhong Yi's actions will not affect the diplomacy of the two countries at all, because I have read this article in the New York Times. Zhong Yi is still sensible and has not expressed any tendency about the election."
Principal Chang said: "But he attended various parties and cocktail parties with McConaughey, and the photo of the two also made the front page of the New York Times. What would Roosevelt think?"
"It doesn't matter what Roosevelt will think." Mrs. Chang said, "What matters is what he will do."
"What will he do?" said Principal Chang. "If I were Roosevelt, not only would I not have the new loan not be negotiated, but the remaining amount of the signed tung oil loan and the Yunnan tin loan should also be reconsidered."
So you are Chang Kaishen, not Roosevelt. Mrs. Chang gave Principal Chang a blank look and said, "Darling, Roosevelt would not do this. Even if he thought, the various consortiums behind him would not allow him to do this. Therefore, from a diplomatic perspective, Zhong Yi's move can actually promote Minister Wang's trip to the United States this time."
"I hope." Principal Chang snorted and said, "Madam, based on your understanding of American character, how much money can Zhong Yi raise in the United States?"
"This depends on how much assistance Zhong Yi can get," said Mrs. Chang. "If McConaughey spares no effort to support Zhong Yi and help him hold charity dinners in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, then the amount he will be able to raise will be no less than one million US dollars! It may even be more!"
"One million?" Principal Chang was a little disappointed.
...
Mrs. Chang knows Americans well, but this time she is wrong.
Because Mrs. Chang didn't know that in addition to being an alumnus of West Point Military Academy, Zhong Yi was also the best-selling author of Harry Potter today, Stevens!
That night, a piece of news spread across the East Coast of the United States.
Stevens, the mysterious author of the Harry Potter series, will arrive in New York at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow and will meet with book fans in Times Square in New York.
As the news spread, all book friends in New York and several neighboring states were excited.
In New York and the neighboring states, the purchase volume of books accounts for almost half of the country, and 40% of Harry Potter's sales are also due to New York and neighboring states.
That night, a book friend who was a little far away rushed to New York with a full set.
In a blink of an eye, two days had passed. When Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui and the National Government's diplomatic mission were storm and sandy, Zhong Yi met Harry Potter book fans in Times Square, New York.
The book fans who came to Times Square in New York that day were at least 100,000.
When Zhong Yi was accompanied by McConaughey and the staff, the book fans gathered in the square immediately exclaimed bursts of exclamations. Obviously, they did not expect that the author of the Harry Potter magic system that had become popular in the entire United States and even the entire Western world would be an Oriental.
Not only an oriental, but also a young general!
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" McConaughey shouted into the microphone, "Did you never expect that the author of Harry Potter would be an Oriental, and a young general! Yes, General, the Stevens you are looking forward to is Lieutenant General from China, Mr. Zhong Yi and Zhong!"
The book fans gathered below cheered again. They didn't care which country Zhong Yi was from, they just wanted to be the author of Harry Potter. Besides, Zhong Yi was so young and so handsome that it far exceeded their psychological expectations of the author, especially those female readers, who were so happy that they were about to faint on the spot.
Looking at these fanatical book fans, Zhong Yixin said that it was fine and the money was settled.
As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, this event should be able to raise a lot of money.
Chapter completed!
