The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

This time Dunn arrived in New York on a non-weekend day, so he asked his father to pick him up.

"How long are you going to stay at home this time?"

On the way home with Dunn, Mario asked helplessly.

He was a little speechless about his two sons. The younger son was quite diligent in coming home, but the older son basically never came home.

The Batmanni family is really different from ordinary families in the United States. Most families in the United States will kick their children out of the house when they become adults and let them fend for themselves.

The couple lives a happy life in their own world. Of course, there are some black families where the child may be without a father from the day he is born.

But the Bartoman family, who immigrated from Italy, attaches great importance to family values.

But the two sons they gave birth to each had their own careers and were always hanging out outside.

"You can't stay long!"

Dunn felt helpless facing his father. He really couldn't stay there for long and had to rush back to Hong Kong as there was not much time left before the war on the peninsula broke out.

Instead of waiting for the outbreak of war and being summoned, it is better to stay in Hong Kong in person. There will still be plenty of time to fly to Japan.

"I created a food factory on an isolated island this time..."

In order to prevent his father from worrying about his return home time, Dunn began to tell his father about the factory he opened with Feng Enshuo on the isolated island, and also told Mario about it according to Antonio's attitude.

"Well, I was planning to let Darry take my job and manage a few restaurants. If you want to take him away, then go ahead!"

Mario did not object. After learning about his eldest son's ambition, he knew that this was no trivial matter if it could really be accomplished.

Their family will prosper for a long time to come.

"My dad owns the restaurant, so you just take care of it first. If things really don't work out, just sell it. I don't mind the money you make from running the restaurant anyway!"

As Dunn spoke, he took out a check and put it into his father's hand.

This is a check for 1 US dollars, but he did not dare to take out more funds. In fact, his funds are a bit tight now. However, after the second batch of goods arrives in the United States, his funds will not be so tight.

By now, Zhang Dezhong should have arrived in the mainland. Since I didn't meet him this time, I'll have to wait until I get back to talk about it.

"You've just been transferred to East Asia. How can you bring back so much money in such a short time?"

After seeing the number on the check, Mario was also a little surprised!

He worked hard to open several Italian restaurants, and his savings over the years were roughly a little more than this amount.

As a result, the younger son had only been in East Asia for a short time when he took out his savings of the past few years.

Dunn was quite satisfied with his father's reaction. He felt like he had made something of himself and could show off to his parents when he got home.

"It's still relatively easy to make money in East Asia, especially with my current status. Other places are not just Japan and isolated islands. If you want money, there are plenty of people lining up to give it to us!"

Dunn's tone was full of pride, but after thinking about it carefully, he was no longer happy.

Putting aside the Japanese side, there are also Chinese people on this isolated island.

At least at this time, the top leaders of the isolated island and the troops they brought still admitted that they were Chinese.

It is hard to say whether they will be an isolated island in the future, but even if so, they will still be compromised. In the eyes of the top leaders of the United States, they are not even regarded as human beings.

If the government of the isolated island could still control the mainland, then everything would be fine, but it lost the mainland, if not for the Red Party built on the mainland.

It is estimated that the current island government has been abandoned long ago.

Although Dunn is now a real beautiful Chinese, he still feels a little uncomfortable when thinking about these funny things.

Mario didn't say anything. He also clearly felt that the level of contact he had was completely different from that of his sons.

When he first came to the United States, he was just looking for a way to make a living.

Later, he achieved his goal easily and even had quite a fortune. However, his spouse became a widower in middle age, and then the Great Depression came, leaving him destitute for a time.

After finally getting through it, although life hasn't returned to its heyday, it's almost there.

Mario was already feeling quite satisfied.

But now the things his two sons are doing seem to be even bigger than what he did in the beginning, which makes Mario feel unsure whether he should be relieved or worried.

Now he felt powerless and wanted to do something to help his son, but he also knew that he couldn't help much.

Maria drove Dunn home without saying anything else. After returning home, she immediately called her brother's family and asked them to come to her home as a guest.

The rest was up to Dunn to persuade his brother's family.

Dunn did not reveal too much information about his uncle's family. The simplest thing he did was to give them money to pave the way.

Everything went smoothly, so my uncle didn't want his son to go to East Asia.

But after hearing Dunn's rough outline of the factory and the future profits, he immediately agreed.

After all, it is our own business, and we must let our own people look after it.

It just so happened that Dario was taking a break during college, where he majored in accounting.

It is more than enough to go to the isolated factory and manage the finances.

But he is not worried that Dario will do something corrupt. If he can embezzle money, it is his ability. After all, the factory's finances are not just managed by his people. Feng Enshuo will definitely send people over as well.

The purpose of letting my cousin go over is to ensure that the other party will not cheat with the finances under the witness of both parties.

After only staying at home for one day, Dunn took Tang He back to Hong Kong on the afternoon of the next day.

There was no way, the schedule was too tight, and he didn't even meet Prokowski and Victor and his son.

The magazine company in Hong Kong is about to open, and he, as the boss, will definitely show up.

This time, the flight they chose was to fly to an isolated island first, take Dario to Tang Wenxing's factory to give instructions, and then set off from the isolated island to Hong Kong.

The person who came to pick us up this time was Liu Liyuan.

"Everything is ready. Even the magazine samples have been printed. We will publish it after the official opening!"

After getting in the car, Liu Liyuan reported to Dunn while driving.

"Did you bring the samples?"

Dunn couldn't wait to flip through the first issue of the magazine.

Compared with the newspapers he had run before, Dunn attached more importance to this novel magazine.

It’s a pity that this is not the Internet age, otherwise Dunn would definitely start an online literature website.

Whether it is newspapers or magazines, their influence will gradually decline in the future, but that will have to wait for decades. In comparison, Dunn would rather start a website in one step.

It’s a pity that there are no televisions in this era, so it’s not very realistic to popularize Na Eun’s ideas.

If we really have to wait until the Internet age, it will probably take another 50 years or so. By 50 years, Dunn will probably be half buried in the earth.

What will happen then is another matter.

So today’s fiction magazines are the equivalent of Dunne’s online writing websites in later generations.

Dunn, who wrote several failed online articles in his previous life, still has some obsession with writing.

"Not really, but you'll be able to see it when you get back to the newspaper office!"

Liu Liyuan said with a smile.

The newly established Changhe Novel Magazine did not look for a new office location, but instead allocated several offices for their use on the second floor of the office building where the newspaper was located.

Anyway, there are less than 10 people in the entire magazine, so there is no need for such a large venue.

Unlike a newspaper, it does not require a large number of reporters, typesetting editors, reviewers and other positions.

The newspaper only needs a few writers and two or three editors-in-chief to do part-time review.

Oh, by the way, Ruiyi’s advertising department also needs about three or four people.

There are no other staff members.

If later fiction magazines adopt a contributor system in the future, it is likely that there will not even be a need for too many writers on duty.

After returning to the newspaper office, Dunn couldn't wait to go to Liu Liyuan's office.

Got it, it’s the first issue of the magazine, now all that’s missing is printing the month and date on the cover.

In fact, it can be printed now, but just in case of any unexpected situation, the opening will be postponed, so there is no rush to print the month and date.

This item can be printed when the magazine starts to be sold.

The size and thickness of the entire magazine are similar to the later "Story Club".

Originally, Dunn planned to make it into an A4-sized magazine like Reader.

It was only after Liu Liyuan's persuasion that he gave up.

After all, if we switch to a large-format magazine, we will need more novels.

At present, the magazine can only recruit so many full-time writers. Maybe when there are more authors submitting articles in the future and there are enough novels like that, then we will consider revising it into a large-scale magazine.

"This is a sample issue. There are still many magazines in the warehouse that have not been printed yet. We have prepared 5000 copies in the early stage. If they can be sold out, we can print more at any time!"

Liu Liyuan continued to report to Dunn, while Dunn had already opened the magazine to read the novel inside.

So Dunn had already read the drafts of these novels, but after all, this was a part-time job he had done in his previous life, so there was still a sense of novelty in it.

The first page of the magazine is the inaugural words written by Liu Liyuan. I didn't look at this file carefully. After flipping through the table of contents, the first novel was the first three chapters of Jin Yong's "The Book and the Sword", followed by "Return of the Pearl", then original novels written by two newcomers, and finally "Underworld" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The quality of The Legend of the Condor Heroes written by Jin Yong is almost the same as that of later generations. Although it is not as good as the level of later generations, after all, it was Jin Yong who had just made his debut.

It hasn't reached its full form yet, but Dunn is already very satisfied with it.
