"Some books?"
Lurise, who habitually took out a small notebook, was stunned when she heard this.
On the other side, Toussaint Hanses, the boss of the Los Angeles publishing firm, was also stunned.
Toussaint felt troubled. He was not born into a noble family, and he was not willing to work for someone like Zhu Shengkai, who had a high status and noble bloodline.
After all, in his opinion, a noble person like Zhu Shengkai did not know how to sympathize with the hardships of the lower class.
He would only give orders without caring if the orders he gave were carried out by his subordinates.
This was a common problem for nobles.
Originally, Toussaint Hans didn't want to come, but because of Zhu Shengkai's noble status, he still came.
He felt that a great noble like Zhu Shengkai wanted to publish a book on a whim and was just playing around.
Because no matter what kind of book Zhu Shengkai wrote, good or bad, he would have to pay for it as the boss of the publishing firm.
Toussaint sighed in his heart.
It was too troublesome to serve such a noble.
However, he did not dare to offend Zhu Shengkai, so he could only ask,""I wonder what kind of book you want to publish?”
Zhu Shengkai handed a stack of manuscripts on the table next to him to Toussaint Hanses and said,""It's a fairy tale from the Far East.”
Zhu Shengkai added,"Big Ming's fairy tale."
"Actually, I didn't write this book. I just sorted it out.”
"This mythological novel was created more than a hundred years ago. It tells the story of a Divine Monkey from China.”
"Among them are Taoism, Buddhism, and all kinds of myths and immortals from the Far East.”
Following Zhu Shengkai's narration, Toussaint took the stack of manuscripts solemnly and flipped through them.
Meanwhile, Louris was also recording what Zhu Shengkai said.
What Zhu Shengkai handed to Toussaint Hans was the English translation of Journey to the West!
In this era, the Qing Dynasty's Journey to the West had not been translated into English and spread overseas.
Of course, other versions of Journey to the West might have been translated and sent overseas, but Zhu Shengkai was almost certain.
The influence of Journey to the West in this world was almost zero.
This was a good opportunity for him to earn a large amount of cultural points!
As long as he could promote Journey to the West from Ming Dynasty to the whole world, let all the people in the world know that there was such a Monkey King who fought against heaven and earth and finally became a Buddha.
That would bring him a huge amount of cultural value!
This was the cultural output from Da Ming!
In Zhu Shengkai's hands, Journey to the West would no longer be a well-known story in the East Asian cultural circle, but a story that everyone in the world knew!
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal from the Great Ming Dynasty, Sun Wukong!
In the future, countless children in the Divine Prefecture dreamed of becoming Sun Wukong.
Zhu Shengkai believed that in the world that he had transformed, the dream that foreigners had since childhood would be to become the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
Toussaint flipped through Zhu Shengkai's manuscript.
He was a little amazed. Zhu Shengkai's English font was very pure and aristocratic, and it had its own unique style. Between the lines, every letter was faintly domineering!
One could tell at a glance that the person who could write such words was definitely a person of high status and authority!
Toussaint Hans was amazed by Zhu Shengkai's handwriting, and his entire mind was attracted by the story of Journey to the West.
He was unconsciously immersed in the story of Journey to the West.
The novels that people read in this era, apart from some unrated love literature, there were also erotic stories that the people of the world liked to hear.
Other than that, there were also the essays and novels written by the world's famous writers and literary giants.
For example, Leo Tolstoy and Gorky.
Of course, they were not born yet.
It was just an example.
There was a huge gap in the field of myths and fantasy novels.
Furthermore, the world of the white people was a world of Christian, Roman, and Orthodox churches.
The Church would never allow anyone to write a story like Journey to the West, where the beginning was a battle between heaven and earth!
This was disrespectful!
However, Journey to the West described the eastern gods and the eastern mythological system.
That would be fine.
From a young age, the white man grew up in an environment filled with churches and was taught to worship the Almighty God.
He had never seen a novel like Journey to the West.
Instantly, Toussaint was deeply attracted.
For a moment, the room fell silent. Only the sound of Toussaint Hanses flipping the pages could be heard.
Zhu Shengkai's lips curled up. He picked up the teacup on the table beside him and gently touched the rim of the porcelain cup with the lid, making a slight rubbing sound.
Suddenly, Toussaint let out a long sigh. He put down the manuscript in his hand and looked at Zhu Shengkai impatiently. He asked,""Your Highness, what happened after that? The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, met Gautama Buddha. What happened after that?”
What Zhu Shengkai gave Toussaint Hans was only the beginning. It would end after the arrival of the Buddha in the Heavenly Palace.
This made Toussaint Hanses, who was deeply attracted by this story, feel anxious.
He wanted to see the aftermath. He was eager to know what had happened to the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong!
Zhu Shengkai was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.
Mythological novels from the Ming Dynasty of the Far East were full of the mysterious mythological system of the Far East.
What attracted Toussaint Hance was not only the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but also the mysterious and unknown Eastern mythological system.
"Do you think such a book can be sold?”
Zhu Shengkai didn't answer Toussaint's question but asked directly.
"Your Highness, I think that as long as this book is promoted, it will definitely be sought after by people!”
Toussaint Hanses thought for a moment and then gave a conclusion.
"Very good, then sell and promote it in Los Angeles.”
Zhu Chengkai turned to Luris.
When that pair of black eyes filled with oriental colors looked at Luris, she couldn't help but be a little dazed. She didn't even react to Zhu Shengkai's words.
"Lurise?"
When Zhu Shengkai repeated it, Lulis finally realized how embarrassed she was.
Her fair face was suddenly covered with a layer of red. She felt that she had been too embarrassed just now.
He could only hurriedly answer Zhu Shengkai's words to cover up,""Your Highness, don't worry. Our Los Angeles newspaper will definitely promote it further.”
"I can also contact the headquarters in San Francisco.”
"If the response is good, then we can cooperate with other publishing houses and even newspaper companies to promote and report to the entire US Federation and the world.”
Louris quickly stood up and said to Zhu Chengkai to hide her embarrassment.
"Yes, very good."
Zhu Shengkai nodded.
"Initial printing, how much do you think is suitable?”
Zhu Shengkai looked at Toussaint Hans again.
