Even if Elizabeth tells the truth, Li Rui will not be fooled.

But he would not take the initiative to expose Elizabeth's scam. Li Rui did not think that the child who revealed the truth in "The Emperor's New Clothes" would have a good ending.

On the contrary, he felt that Theranos Company's scam was the same as Liu Te's. As long as it was run properly, it could help him achieve certain goals.

At noon, Theranos served a lunch. Although Li Rui didn't plan to invest a penny, he still had a meal with peace of mind.

After dinner, everyone else went to learn more about the situation, but Li Rui found an excuse and ran away first.

Back at the hotel, Fu Sande brought a message.

"The person you are looking for is here."

Li Rui said: "Invite him to the coffee shop downstairs."

Li Rui met Liu Yukun in the coffee shop in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Liu Yukun is in his thirties. He has a young face and handsome features that belie his age. His hair is very short. He is wearing a well-fitting suit without a tie. This is probably the first time he has come to such a luxurious five-star hotel. He is using

Curious eyes looked at the extravagant decorations around him.

When Li Rui came to him, Liu Yukun stood up a little awkwardly and said, "Are you Mr. Li?"

Li Rui smiled and extended his hand to him: "Hello, I am Li Rui. I am very happy to meet you. I am your reader!"

Liu Yukun opened his mouth slightly, a little excited and a little confused.

The excitement is that after several years of writing, he finally has readers.

The confusion is that although the works he wrote are not bad, they are not very exciting. How come there are readers who have traveled thousands of miles from China to Magnesium and even paid for air tickets and hotels to invite him to Los Angeles to meet him?

Woolen cloth?

In fact, when he first received the invitation, Liu Yukun thought he had met a liar. It was not until the flight ticket and hotel information were sent to his mobile phone that he believed everything was true.

"Sit down, have a cup of coffee, and let's talk slowly." Li Rui said.

The two of them tasted coffee, and Li Rui introduced himself.

"I know who you are!" Liu Yukun said excitedly, ""The Voice of China" is very exciting. People around me are watching it, and my mother is a loyal fan of this show!"

Li Rui smiled and said: "If your mother has a player she particularly likes, I can get her an autograph."

"She likes Ding Ding very much and said that if I could find a girlfriend like that, she would be satisfied." Liu Yukun said with an embarrassed smile.

Li Rui also laughed: "We have the same kind of mother, and her main task is to get married every day."

After chatting for a few words, Liu Yukun gradually relaxed, and Li Rui said: "I have read your "Algorithm of Love" and "Single-Bit Error" published in "Science Fiction World", and they are very good."

Liu Yukun was looking forward to it. His heart had been beating wildly ever since he knew that Li Rui was an investor in "The Good Voice of Huaguo". Now that he heard Li Rui mentioning his work, his heart was about to beat out of his chest.

He guessed that Li Rui asked him to meet here to discuss purchasing the copyright of the work.

Is his work about to be adapted for the big screen?

Li Rui continued: "I heard that you received three degrees from Harvard University, not only in liberal arts and law, but also in computer science. No wonder you can see strong humanistic care in your writing.

You can also experience the cyberpunk flavor as cold as a knife."

Liu Yukun was a little embarrassed to be praised: "I haven't been writing science fiction for a long time, and I'm still far behind compared to real people."

"Oh, let me take the liberty to ask. In your opinion, is there anyone in the Hua Kingdom who can be called a science fiction master?" Li Rui asked.

Liu Yukun blurted out: "Zhang Haixin! He is a real master and my favorite and most admired science fiction writer. His level is not inferior at all to the top science fiction writers in Europe!"

Li Rui smiled and said: "I also particularly like Mr. Zhang Haixin's science fiction works. Which one of his is your favorite?"

Liu Yukun said: "Of course it's "Celestial Bodies". I was shocked when I first watched it. It turns out that science fiction novels can be written like this, and I feel that Teacher Zhang's thoughts have reached a new level, breaking the European and American standards."

The influence of science fiction novels on the country of Hua!"

"Heroes see the same thing." Li Rui nodded, "I also like "Celestial Bodies" the most. I especially like the laws of the dark jungle described in it. I am also amazed by Teacher Zhang's imagination. It is really amazing!"

When it came to talking about the things he liked, Liu Yukun was no longer as nervous as before. He talked a lot about his feelings about "Celestial Bodies", from cultural background to scientific basis, from thinking patterns to historical reflections, from the collision of East and West to realism. It can be said that

The fuse from Pang Zhengbo is at your fingertips.

Li Rui was dumbfounded. He didn't think so much when he read "Celestial Bodies". No wonder he was just a reader, but he could single-handedly promote "Celestial Bodies" to the whole world!

Yes, the Liu Yukun in front of you was the translator of "Celestial Bodies" in his previous life. He translated "Celestial Bodies" into Yingwen with precise and delicate words and introduced it to readers all over the world. It can be said that without Liu Yukun's translation, "Celestial Bodies" would be difficult to read.

If it wins the favor of foreign readers and the Hugo Award, it will not have as much influence as it did later.

Liu Yukun is the key to whether the copyright of "Celestial Body" in Li Rui's hands can be increased to one billion or more.

After talking for half an hour, Liu Yukun stopped without finishing, took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Zhang's book is so well written. I think it can be regarded as a milestone in the history of science fiction literature in China."

Li Rui nodded and said: "I agree with you, but I think it's a pity to just be a milestone for Hua Kingdom. I want to promote this book to science fiction lovers around the world."

"Huh?" Liu Yukun was stunned.

Li Ruidao: "You have a very strong foundation in writing and prose, are familiar with science fiction literature, and know Zhang Haixin and "Celestial Body" very well, so I would like to ask if you are willing to take on the task of translating "Celestial Body" and help Huaguo's science fiction literature go global.

Woolen cloth?"

Liu Yukun said in surprise: "You are looking for me to translate "Celestial Bodies"?"

"Otherwise?" Li Rui asked back.

Liu Yukun was a little disappointed, but immediately became happy. Although his own works failed to sell, if his favorite works could be translated into Yingwen and his name could be tied to works like "Celestial Bodies",

It’s also an honor for him!

But he still has a question: "Do you have the copyright of "Celestial Body"?"

Li Rui nodded and said: "Not only "Celestial Bodies", but also the copyrights of most of Teacher Zhang's works are in my hands. If you are interested, I can leave these translation tasks to you."

"I do!" Liu Yukun's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he didn't even ask how much the reward would be.

Li Ruidao: "Teacher Zhang's work is very grand, and there are many things that need to be thought about and explored in the content. I will find a time to arrange for you and Teacher Zhang to meet and exchange ideas. You don't have to rush to translate, what I want is quality, not quality.

speed."
