"I told you, it would definitely be popular.”
Under Alley's strong request, Jean brought Sky along. At this moment, Alley was showing off her glorious battle results to Sky.
"Yes, yes, yes. You're the best, okay?”
Sky said helplessly. Looking at the towering building in front of him, his eyes were still unreal.
100,000 copies, sold out in less than five days. As a result, the first batch of royalties that Alley received was as high as 150,000 US dollars. Even after deducting all kinds of taxes, he still had close to 80,000 US dollars in his account.
As for 80,000 dollars, Sky had started working part-time since she was 13 years old. Until she came of age and left the orphanage, she had only saved 40,000 dollars. That was because she did not have to pay taxes.
But now, Alley had earned so much in just five days. In fact, from the information he had received, there were nearly a million orders waiting for him. That was another huge sum of money.
Not only that, Sky was one of the few people who knew that Harry Potter was a long serial novel. Currently, only the first one had been published, and six more were in Alley's hands.
Based on the current progress, Alley could very well become a multimillionaire before he became an adult.
"Let's go, my little secretary. Don't be moved by the temporary glory in front of you. This bit of achievement is just the beginning for me. Believe it or not, within ten years, I will have a building in Manhattan that is even more magnificent than this!”
Alley pointed at the building in front of him. This was the largest children's book publishing company in New York and even the United States. Every quarter, the turnover was calculated in billions. It should be known that in the publishing industry, turnover was basically equivalent to income.
The offices of the financial giants on Wall Street could generate hundreds of millions of dollars a day. It was even possible to manipulate billions of dollars a day when they were working on projects, but what about the income that could really fall into their pockets?
Warren Buffett had been playing for so many years, but he was only as rich as Zuckerberg, let alone others? Moreover, there were many people jumping off buildings on Wall Street every day. That industry was just glamorous!
Therefore, when Alley said that he would own a building that surpassed this building in ten years, he was actually saying that his company would surpass the American Academic Press in the future, a company with a market value of more than 50 billion US dollars. And this sentence was said by a seventeen-year-old teenager.
In the eyes of others, it was either a laugh, a joke from an ignorant child, or a blatant mockery.
However, in Jean and Sky's eyes, Alley was currently exuding a strange charm. They believed that what Alley said was the truth, and that he could really do it.
"Pfft, hahaha! Oh, ambitious young man, I have high hopes for you. However, do you really know what the name on it represents?”
Jean and Sky would believe Alley's words, but there were others who did not.
People were coming and going under the building, and what Alley said was naturally heard by others. However, most people would leave if they did not agree, but this person did not hesitate to mock him.
"Mickey, did you hear that? I will own a building that is even more magnificent than this one in ten years!”
The man who suddenly spoke was dressed in a well-ironed suit. His hair was glossy with wax. His slender figure matched his decent clothes and he looked quite handsome.
At this moment, he was still performing his clumsy performance. He was imitating Alley's bold declaration, but whether it was his tone or expression, it was all so funny and laughable.
Behind him, his companion, a black man in a suit, could not help but laugh out loud.
Jean and Sky frowned, looking at the two of them with hostility.
"If there's nothing else, please don't disturb us!”
Jean said in a low voice. She had always had a gentle temper and rarely got angry. However, that depended on who it was.
This man's actions were undoubtedly mocking Alley, and this had crossed her bottom line.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to remind this little friend out of friendliness. The building behind you belongs to the American Academy.”
"Shut up, we know what it is. You don't have to show off your pathetic knowledge!”
Jean's cold voice rang out, interrupting the man from continuing to pollute the air around her. Right now, she felt that it was unnecessary to even look at this person.
"Oh, this beautiful lady, perhaps you have many misunderstandings about me, but my identity is.”
When the man heard Qin's voice, he did not retreat. Instead, he began to carefully examine Qin. Qin's charm and beautiful face naturally attracted his gaze.
Alley could no longer tolerate this scene.
At first, he didn't want to argue much because he found it boring. How could a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? In his opinion, explaining to such a person was a complete waste of time.
However, the way he looked at Jean had undoubtedly crossed his bottom line.
