Harry Potter can only be published in English in various European countries to ensure its success.
"However, it is said that at the beginning, Harry Potter was not favored by the publisher, and only a few hundred copies were printed. Later, because the story was so exciting, it attracted many people and gradually became popular through word of mouth!"
Lin Zhengyi stroked his chin and pondered, "If it were me, I might not be able to get it published if the publisher didn't have a good impression of it. After all, I'm from China!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, there are many white people who look down on Chinese people these days. Publishers in various European countries may consider that this might affect sales, so they may not publish it."
"Then we have no choice but to find Ed!"
He graduated from Cambridge and met many people there.
Ed was one of them.
The relationship between the two is quite special!
Not only roommates, but also classmates in the same major, the two spent most of their time together every day, eating, studying, and playing together, and naturally became very close brothers.
At the same time, the other party is also the heir to Reed Corporation, the largest publishing company in Sakura Country.
Even if you don't think it's a good idea, you can still get it published out of respect for him, and it won't just be a few hundred copies printed.
The only downside is that Lin Zhengyi will owe people favors!
However, if it is published and becomes a hit, and Reed Publishing is given priority for publication at the same price and with the same treatment, or even with a slightly lower treatment, then the favor will be repaid.
of course!
Before that, the main thing is to write it down first.
"I'll write in my spare time from now on. Once I'm done, I'll find Ed and get it published through his connections!" Lin Zhengyi murmured, having made up his mind.
immediately!
Instead of taking immediate action, he went to take a shower and then rested.
He was indeed tired after a long day.
Chapter 11 Team Members
Early next morning!
Lin Zhengyi got up very early and went to a nearby electronics store to buy a typewriter.
As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."
Since I'm going to write Harry Potter, I need to prepare the necessary tools.
In this era, the best tool for writing literary works was the typewriter. Although it couldn't compare to the computer of the future, it was, in general, the best tool available at the time.
Although computers existed in this era, Lin Zhengyi had never used them before. They lacked various office software, and the computer's memory was pitifully small. In reality, they were not even as good as a typewriter!
of course!
Because he had to go to work soon, he didn't rush to write. He simply bought the typewriter and went to work.

West Kowloon Police Station!
Lin Zhengyi, who was holding a fried dough stick and a soy milk, bumped into someone as soon as he entered the station.
He had slicked-back hair, wore a black police uniform, was thin, and had a dignified expression.
It was Chen Dao, Lin Zhengyi's superior, who was the head of the Traffic Enforcement and Control Group and the deputy head of the transportation department.
Good morning, sir!
Lin Zhengyi quickly put down the fried dough sticks and soy milk in his hands and saluted.
"Ok!"
Chen Dao nodded and then said with a smile, "You did a great job yesterday! Director Lin just called to praise you!"
"It was all just a coincidence!" Lin Zhengyi said modestly.
"Don't be modest. Director Lin has told me the whole story. It really is all your credit."
After saying something with a smile, Chen Dao then revealed a strange expression and said, "It's this method, isn't it? It's a little bit bizarre."
Who the hell could I have imagined that this Cambridge graduate would actually steal?
Moreover, their skills are quite good.
In his many years of professional experience, he has encountered thieves and criminals who can steal bullets from someone's gun without making a sound. In fact, more than 99% of thieves cannot reach this level.
Only a few master thieves could possibly reach this level.
In other words, calling Lin Zhengyi the "King of Thieves" wouldn't be an exaggeration now.
"Forehead"
Lin Zhengyi awkwardly touched his nose, not knowing what to say.
Can we blame him for using such bizarre methods?
It's all the system's fault!
At this moment, Chen Dao changed the subject and said with a smile, "Of course, there's a saying that goes, 'It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.' As long as it can deal with criminals, any method is acceptable."
He paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, Director Lin said he has a mission in a few days that he needs your assistance with. He will let you know the time then, and you can lead a team to cooperate!"
"Also, remember to take your team to manage the traffic on Wing Wah Street in Yau Ma Tei today. We've had a lot of calls complaining about traffic jams there these past few days!"
"Yes, sir!" Lin Zhengyi quickly replied.
"Alright, I won't keep you from having breakfast any longer, I'm leaving!"
After saying this, Chen Dao left.
"Goodbye, sir!" Lin Zhengyi said.
But after taking only a couple of steps, Chen Dao seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead, stopped, turned to look at Lin Zhengyi, and said, "There's another good news I almost forgot to tell you."
"Given your contribution this time, the higher-ups decided at the morning meeting that your probationary period will be shortened by one year. Of course, the official document hasn't been issued yet, but this is me informing you in advance. Don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, if you leak the news from the meeting, I'll definitely get a severe scolding from the higher-ups!"
After saying that, he pinched his mouth shut with his index finger and thumb, making a joking gesture as if he wanted to shut up.
"Understood, sir!" Lin Zhengyi nodded with a happy expression.
"Alright, that's enough, I'm leaving!" Chen Dao waved his hand and left.
“Yes, sir!” Lin Zhengyi replied.
Later!
Watching Chen Dao's figure disappear from his sight, he then took his soy milk and fried dough sticks and turned to enter a large office next door.
The Traffic Enforcement and Control Unit of the Traffic Department at the West Kowloon Headquarters has nine teams, and each team has its own large, independent office. Lin Zhengyi entered his team's office.
As soon as he entered, he smelled a fragrance.
Following the aroma, I saw a group of people gathered together, eating something.
"Wow, what are you eating? It smells delicious!" Lin Zhengyi said jokingly.
Immediately!
Everyone turned to look at them.
Good morning, sir!
"head!"
"Good morning, boss!"
The group of people greeted each other.
Because they were all members of Lin Zhengyi's team, and they had gotten along well over the past few months, in addition to the normal address of "sir," some people also called him "boss" or "leader," which were more intimate terms.
"Well, good morning!"
Lin Zhengyi nodded in response, then asked curiously, "What are you eating?"
One of the women present, a short, slightly overweight woman in her forties with curly hair, stepped forward and said, "Inspector Lin, I made a pot of winter melon and pork rib soup for my son this morning, and I thought I'd bring some over for everyone to try!"
As she spoke, she quickly ladled a bowl of soup into a plastic bowl, along with a plastic spoon, and handed it to Lin Zhengyi, saying warmly, "Here, Lin sir, you should try some too!"
"Oh? It's soup that Aunt He cooked? Then I really have to try it!" Lin Zhengyi smiled and took the plastic bowl and spoon with both hands.
He Ma, whose real name is He Lanhua!
She is the deputy captain of Lin Zhengyi's squad, and one of only two women in the squad. Her rank is police sergeant, and she is forty-seven years old today.
Because she was the oldest, she could basically be considered the mother of everyone present. In addition, she usually took good care of the younger team members and often cooked soup for them, just like a mother. Therefore, the team members affectionately called her "Mom He".
Finished!
Lin Zhengyi then picked up a plastic spoon and began to taste it.
Fresh! Sweet!
"It's fresh and sweet, so delicious!"
After taking a bite, Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but praise it.
Upon hearing this, He Lanhua beamed with joy and said, "If you like it, please drink more!"
People who enjoy cooking all like it when others praise their food, and He Lanhua is no exception.
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Zhengyi nodded and quickly finished the bowl of soup.
But I didn't drink much.
It's not that the soup is bad, it's just that there are so many people in the office. One bowl per person is almost all of what He Lanhua brought. If he drinks more, some people definitely won't get any.
finally!
After finishing his soup and breakfast, Lin Zhengyi briefly washed his hands and face in the restroom before returning to his office.
Only then did he remember Chen Dao's instructions. After glancing around the office, he asked, "Have you all eaten your fill?"
"Ok!"
Everyone nodded.
