After waking up in the morning, Kelly opened her eyes and did not notice the person who had been tormenting her for the middle of the night. She sat up and the quilt fell down to reveal her beautiful upper body. Then, soon she saw the clothes that were thrown everywhere yesterday disappeared, replaced by a brand new set of clothing.

After looking at it, it suited her size very well. Kelly nodded with satisfaction, got up and rinsed in the bathroom next to her, and hesitated for a while. Instead, hesitated, hesitated and instead of changing into new clothes, he wrapped himself in a snow-white bath towel and walked out of the bedroom. He saw that the study door diagonally opened. He could see Duqi sitting in front of the desk, busy with a typewriter.

"Are you awake? How did you sleep yesterday?" When I arrived at the study, Duqi greeted Kelly, and then continued to point his fingers at the typewriter.

"Well, it's very good." Kelly nodded, then began to look at Duqi's study casually. Soon she saw some simple drafts on her desk.

Kelly looked carefully and found that the different drafts contained the names of the three great demons, paladins, magicians, Amazons, barbarians, etc., and the detailed settings, origins, and origins were written later. It seemed that it was not the content of "Song of Ice and Fire" written by Duqi before.

After watching for a while, Duqi's continuous and regular typing sounds stopped. Kelly raised her head and looked at Duqi and asked, "This seems not to be the sequel to "Song of Ice and Fire". Is this a new story you have prepared? I heard that the fourth volume will be released in two days, which means you are not going to continue writing "Song of Ice and Fire"? The fourth volume is the end?"

Duqi knew that the girl in front of her had read the song "Song of Ice and Fire" she wrote. When they were chatting yesterday, they discussed a lot of contents of the first three volumes that had been released. After thinking about it, he said, "I have indeed completed the song "Song of Ice and Fire", but it is not all four volumes, but a total of seven volumes. Now they have been handed over to the Random Bookstore for arrangements. In order to promote and maintain sales maximization, the remaining three volumes will not be released immediately, but will be released in turn within the next two or three years."

"So that's it." Kelly's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she couldn't help asking, "Then can I take a look at the contents behind?"

"Sorry, I have signed an agreement with Random House and cannot disclose the following content." Duqi said.

"I understand." Kelly was a little disappointed, but nodded understandingly. The business scope of the United States is strong, and various relevant regulations are relatively complete. The same is true for publishing. Duqi signed a confidentiality agreement. After handing over the manuscript, the content of books that have not been sold publicly will not be disclosed. Once confirmed, he will face punishment. So even if she is curious about the following content, she can only wait for the new book to be released, or think of other ways.

Next, Kelly began to wonder about the new book that Duches prepared: "Does your new book look like you are going to write a magic novel? Compared to "Song of Ice and Fire", are you going to write a work like "The Lord of the Rings"?"

Duqi smiled and said, "I'm just trying. Speaking of writing style, there is still a gap between me and Mr. Tolkien. For me now, writing is also a hobby. I like to turn the stories in my mind into words and share them with you. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I even want to turn them into movies or TV series so that more people can see them."

In fact, Duqi's novels are fundamentally because of money. Unlike in China, when writing novels in the United States is strictly protected, the benefits they can obtain have increased greatly. Just like "The Song of Ice and Fire", according to the current sales, the time has been extended to a range of five or even ten years. Seven novels and tens of millions of sales bring Duqi's revenue of hundreds of millions of dollars without any pressure.

What's more, in addition to royalty income, there may be revenue sharing for film and television adaptations, and even adapted into comics, etc., which can bring benefits. Therefore, it is not uncommon to be a writer in the United States and become a billionaire if he writes well. In his previous life, Duqi could see many examples on the Internet.

As books were sold, Duches' reputation in the United States gradually spread, but people are more concerned about the news that he became a billionaire. They are more curious about Apple and computers. Computers have not yet entered most families. For the public, computers are full of high-end colors.

However, in the vote of the board of directors, Duqi proposed to use all Apple's funds to develop new products without dividends for the time being. He already has 33% of Apple's shares, and has received support from Jobs, so unless it is selling the stock, Duqi cannot get any profit from Apple.

Now Duqi relies on royalties and Rubik's cube patent authorization in daily life, most of which are royalties. Writing books can bring long-term and stable income. When necessary, it can also mortgage copyrights and other things to raise enough funds. Now Duqi invests in Hong Kong stock market and Jianing Group, most of which comes from mortgage loans from "Song of Ice and Fire".

What Duqi is trying to write is Blizzard's classic game "Diablo" as the prototype, and his own novel adapted. Of course, this game has not appeared yet, so Duqi directly summarized it into original works.

The legend about the Hell Demon God is also widely circulated in the West. For this reason, Duqi has read a lot of related legends, not only about the memories related to the game, but also various hero information. He has also prepared a lot for this. Duqi has completed the outline and registered the copyright. Now he has started to try a beginning.

With copyright guarantee, Duqi is not worried about the leak. He casually talked to Kelly about some general ideas about "Diablo". The two of them got closer without realizing it.

I noticed the fragrance that Kelly had just bathed in and the pair of long and long white legs exposed under the snow-white bath towel. Duqi's hands naturally stroked him. He felt that he needed to exercise in the early morning with the beauty around him...

The purchase of the farm next to it was quite smooth. It was only the early 1980s, and the price of the 3,200 acres was about 15 million US dollars. Because there was not enough funds, Duqi chose to buy it with a loan and used the patent fees and royalties that he just obtained in September to pay the first purchase fee. The future profit of the farm is probably enough to pay the subsequent payment. If it really doesn't work, Duqi can mobilize funds.

This merger and acquisition successfully expanded its farm outside Los Angeles to more than 4,300 acres, which can be regarded as a medium-sized farm of extremely large scale.

After the contract was signed, Du Rulin began to take over the farm and made an overall plan for the farm. At the same time, he recruited more long-term workers and was enthusiastically prepared to do another battle.

Of course, Du Rulin is now old, Du Qi has banned him from doing heavy work. He commands the workers to do the work. He usually wanders around the farm, thinking about where to grow wheat, where to raise cattle, where to grill sheep, as well as vineyards and vegetable gardens. He even plans to buy some foals and raise horses on the farm.
