After less than a year in New York City, Alice suddenly felt like the weather had changed.

Thousands of protesters gathered in Rockefeller Center Square. Nypd police officers were dispatched as if they were part-time and tried their best to guide traffic. The parades, the onlookers, the endless flow of vehicles and the busy figures of police officers, made many pure passers-by turn back three times, and everything was too lively.

"The Rockefeller Center... was finally acquired by the Japanese."

It was in this central business district, in the editorial room of the Bantam Book Company on the high-rise skyscraper, Alice looked out the window with her hands behind her back. Even at a height of 100 meters, the noise and shouting on the ground were still clearly audible. With Alice's eyesight, the big words on the propaganda signs were also very clear.

"Yes, Mitsubishi Land Company has paid $1.3 billion and bought all the shares of 80 of the 14 buildings." Editor-in-chief Domingo stood beside her and looked out the window together: "Chairman Speke is also marching down there. He even mobilized 20% of the company's employees to follow him, so when you come in, you will find that there are many people missing."

"Japan's economic development has indeed made them arrogant." Alice said quietly: "But they don't get much benefits. Real estate is a pure real estate resource in Japan, but it is just a financial product in the United States. If you have read the relevant information, you will know that their overseas real estate investment in the past few years has almost been at a loss."

This kind of thing is not something that Domingo, a book editor, can understand, but as a person in the book media industry, he has never forgotten who is standing beside him.

"So, Mitsubishi must have to spit out all these dozen buildings?"

Alice sneered: "And it's a big loss!"

Domingo remembered the girl's words firmly in his heart. He is an old stockholder. When the acquisition was still in progress, he appropriately sold some stocks and bought some Japanese stocks with special care. But now it seems that it is better to invest in Japanese stocks as soon as possible.

"Editor-in-Chief, editor-in-chief!" A knock on the door outside the house sounded, and an editor opened the door: "Editor-in-Chief, Miss Wang, our contract with Japan's Kotanshe has been released, and the Japanese translation work of "The Magic Stone" is about to begin!"

When the news arrived, the two people in the house were asked to continue chatting, and quickly walked out of the house to meet with everyone. Although 20% of the employees were dragged by the chairman to parade, the normal operation of the company could not be delayed, right?

At 10:30 am ET, Alice's first business after arriving in New York was to deal with her two or three affairs in the book industry, which was actually almost a routine. As for Secretary Monica, she was asked by the boss and immediately chose a location for the American branch of Vanda.

A global real estate company has expanded overseas from the UK, of course, one left and one right. The whole of Europe is close to you and can be handed over to the London headquarters for processing, and the United States is of course the most appropriate place to install a branch in New York. Anyway, the nature of the company is also here. When another commercial square is built, are you still afraid that you will not be able to set up a floor for your office?

Then, there is the issue of multilingual publication of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

"I don't care about other small languages, but I want to translate them in Japanese." With a snap, I patted the drafting contract on the table. Alice said: "The English culture and East Asian culture, especially the Japanese, have very different expressions. Even if I ask a Japanese to translate this book, who knows what he can understand my original meaning? Leave this job to myself!"

It was completely beyond everyone's expectations, so that the editors around were all scared. They really just showed Alice the drafting contract, why did they suddenly put forward such an exaggerated condition?

"Miss Wang, I know you have a good Japanese level and have written Japanese mystery novels." Now, unlike the past, no longer as an ordinary editor, Domingo personally served the girl: "But this "Philosopher's Stone" has hundreds of thousands of words, and the workload of full text translation is very large. You usually..."

"Do you think I'm a person who can show off?"

A sentence blocked the person directly, and Alice also proved her ability directly on the spot. She found a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen, and quickly wrote a series of neat Japanese paragraphs. Domingo and other editors could not understand Japanese, so they quickly called people all over the company and specially found an employee responsible for Japanese book translation. The conclusion was very obvious. The hundreds of words written by Alice in three minutes were the Japanese version of the beginning of the chapter "The Boy Who Evered the Misfortune"!

"And the literary talent is very outstanding!" the translator exclaimed.

This is really amazing. After all, no one who is present as an editor will focus on a writer's writing on the spot, let alone Alice's book "After School", was published directly at the Japanese Kodansha. Even if it is her own article, it is really amazing to be able to translate cross-language so quickly.

In this way, Alice's must-see trip to New York was soon over. At the beginning of the summer vacation, "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret" was thrown into the market. It also expanded the original work to 500,000 words by writing fan novels. Affected by the sales volume of the previous work, this book was directly launched in both countries in the United States and Britain at the same time. It is not a big problem for the writer to come to do some guidance work in person.

As for the plot...

"I really like the plot in the middle! It's just Sherlock! Harry and the others actually formed a teenage detective team! And how did Sister Alice design the mechanisms of Hogwarts? They are simply the magic workshop of the alchemist!"

No, this is the naughty boy who heard the door when Alice passed by a bookstore. But this is really subtle. Is it a magic school institution? Isn’t it normal to be like an alchemist?

"Hey, Monica?"

Walking on the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan, you can still hear the voices of protesters in the distance. Alice held her cell phone and said, "How are you doing there?"

In the early morning, the troops were divided into two groups, and now it was lunch time. Of course, Monica deserved something: "Alice, I have collected a complete Manhattan property information for you. Let's make an appointment to meet and find a cafe?"

Alice touched her stomach, and it was time to have a meal, so she suggested going to Chinatown to improve the food. Of course, Monica was very happy. After all, the deliciousness of Chinese food has been unanimously verified by the people of the whole country. Many people used fish-flavored shredded pork and Kung Pao chicken to improve the food.

However, this journey is by no means so simple.

All the glamorousness of New York is concentrated on a small Manhattan Island. It is not only an exaggeration to describe the fact that the superheroes led by Spider-Man chose New York as their place to be a hero.

But even in Manhattan, the gap between the rich and the poor is very obvious, and even urban areas can be confused. New York Chinatown is the most typical example.

If Harlem in Uptown is a typical breeding place for criminal violence and a highly colonial area for black Mexicans, then Chinatown next to Wall Street Copper Bull is actually a bit similar. Even if they are both Chinese, the middle-class and rich class will not choose to stay here, let alone other white Americans.

Smugglers, coolies, restaurant waiters, idle gamblers, retired elderly people, pajamas, buses, reselling fakes, selling flesh, and small residential areas showcase most of the Chinese lower class society. I can imagine how lively it is. In the shade of the tree, on the benches, the kind old man is leisurely and relaxed every day, doing nothing, leading the government regularly to provide food stamps and pocket money, and his life is very comfortable.

"I almost never came to Chinatown." Walking on the road with Alice, looking at the architectural style around me that is very different from Manhattan, Monica said: "It feels really different. Is this the same thing in mainland China?"

"That's not..." Alice wanted to laugh: "Are the immigrant descendants of Little Italy the same as those of real Italians?"

The answer was self-evident, and then the two walked into a good-grade Chinese restaurant. According to Alice, Monica learned that the most obvious feature of Chinatown diet is the low price, and the Chinese food flavor is also very authentic from the overall perspective.

The spacious space, bright lights, and elegant dining environment, but the passenger flow is obviously not high. Alice specially opened a private room for the two of them, which is really a condition that only Chinese restaurants have. After ordering a few dishes skillfully and recommending a few servings for Monica, she asked again: "Do you drink white wine?"

"Wine wine..." Monica frowned: "I remember it seems to be similar to vodka? Or try it."

Alice giggled and ordered a Maotai to the waiter who was unknown. After he went out, he smiled and said, "Liquor and vodka, Monica, don't forget that your boss, I am a Chinese. Now China has also reformed and opened up. We will inevitably go there to invest on a large scale in the future. You have to add some knowledge to me, otherwise I will be in trouble in the future."

"Oh... OK." Monica realized that she seemed to have said stupid things, but she was still a little dissatisfied: "Am I wrong? Isn't liquor also strong liquor? Isn't that the same nature as vodka? The Soviet Union is in the north of China!"
Chapter completed!
