Chapter 698: The Mole's Tale

"I'm sure you'll be more successful!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Even if there is no copyright income from the film market, the success of the book alone is enough to make JK Rowling a billionaire.

After all, Harry Potter is the best-selling book of the 21st century. It has sold more than 500 million copies worldwide. That's a staggering number.

In the West, the selling price of a book is very expensive. The price of a complete set, Qin Feng remembers that there were media reports that it costs $136 in the West.

The price of a single copy is about $28, and the softcover version, or the litecover version that has been released later, also costs 9.99 US dollars.

Even if it is calculated according to 10 US dollars, the global sales are more than 5 billion US dollars. And as an author, J.K. Rowling was able to get at least about 15% of the royalties.

Of course, if Harry Potter is so successful, then Jk-Rowling should be able to get a larger share of the royalties.

After all, this is a well-known author. In this way, even if 15% is calculated at 5 billion US dollars of book sales, that is at least 750 million US dollars.

In fact, there is also merch income, reprint royalties, comics, and so on. Its revenue, Qin Feng estimates, will still exceed $1 billion.

So, she's really going to be rich.

"Remember to come to me when you have time!" JK-Rowling personally drove Qin Feng to the airport.

"I will! See you next time!" Qin Feng got on the plane with a smile and flew directly to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

About Prague, what Qin Feng knows is still from Jay Chou's song: Prague Square.

As for the rest, the most famous is its footballer: Nedved.

Coming to the streets of Prague in 1997, it is similar to what you saw when Nedved was introduced on TV.

Western society, almost in the last few decades, has not changed much. Everything is the same as before. After all, they have all gone through the initial stage of social development, unlike China, where everything is waiting to be rebuilt.

It's just that when he came to Prague, Qin Feng began to have a headache, how to see if there was any heavy industry that could be acquired?

After all, life is unfamiliar.

When Qin Feng had a headache, he had to find a bar to sit down and enjoy the good time of Prague Square first.

This also made Qin Feng discover that the Czechs are also a nation that loves beer very much. It is said that Germans like beer, and Qin Feng seems that this is not far behind receiving guests.

On this street, there are no drinks, they are all drinking beer from Dazha.

"Lalala~~~Lala~~~Lala~~~" Qin Feng was drinking beer while humming Jay Chou's song from Prague Square.

This feeling is pretty good.

"Hey, young man!" said an old man who came up suddenly.

Qin Feng was stunned and hurriedly got up.

"Old gentleman, I don't know what's going on?" Qin Feng greeted.

This old gentleman is estimated to be seventy or eighty years old, but his body is still quite strong.

However, Qin Feng doesn't know him.

"Are you from Huaxia?" asked the old man.

Qin Feng nodded.

In today's Czech Republic, where the streets are full, Qin Feng looked at it, and he was really the only one with yellow skin and black hair. There are very few people from Asia here.

"Haha, Huaxia, a very ancient civilized country. At the beginning, in the anti-*** movement, I also met a Chinese friend. But I don't know how he's doing now. He later said that he would return to China to fight and defend his country. The old man fell into memory.

Qin Feng called the waiter and handed the old man a cup of beer.

"Haha, beer, I haven't drunk it for a long time, and those people don't let me drink it, saying it's not good for my health. Actually, I'm 76 years old this year, and it's okay to drink an extra glass of beer and live a few days less!" the old man said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled.

"Happy!" the old man took a big sip of beer, his face relaxed.

"Young man, thank you for your beer. I won't drink your beer for nothing, I'll give you a little souvenir!" said the old man, who took out a small doll from his pocket.

"Mole!" Qin Feng took it and smiled in surprise.

"Do you know?" asked the old man.

Qin Feng nodded.

"I saw big cartoons since I was a child!The cute little mole is especially popular in China!" Qin Feng sighed.

Once "The Mole's Tale" was also popular all over the country and was one of the best memories of my childhood. Its popularity is comparable to "Black Cat Sheriff", "The Adventures of the Sloppy King", and "Gourd Baby".

To this day, there are occasional TV stations that re-air them.

"Do you have one in Huaxia?" the old man showed a surprised expression, "Haha, I don't know if that old friend saw it back then!"

"Uh, excuse me, do you have anything to do with this mole?" Qin Feng looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

"Haha, introduce myself, my name is Zdenek Miller, the author of The Mole's Tale!" the old man smiled proudly.

Qin Feng was extremely surprised.

This really surprised Qin Feng. Unexpectedly, I would meet the original author.

At this moment, the feeling of worship arose spontaneously.

"Do you know why I created The Mole's Tale in the first place?" Zdenek Miller asked with a smile.

Qin Feng didn't know, but immediately, he ordered another glass of beer for the old man.

Obviously, there's a story in between.

"At the beginning, I knew a friend from Na Huaxia, who was mining a mineral in the Czech Republic, and he was disgraced all day long, like a mole. But he is very optimistic, he is everyone's pistachio, and everyone likes him. Later, he said that he wanted to return to China to save the Chinese people, so he left. After leaving, he never came back. One day, when we were drinking together, we talked about him, and I had a sudden inspiration to create "The Mole's Tale". Zdenek Miller sighed.

When Qin Feng heard this, he couldn't speak for a long time. This, I didn't expect to have such a relationship with Huaxia, which really surprised everyone.

This is really unbelievable.

Subsequently, Qin Feng asked the name to see if it was a celebrity. It's a pity that the name that the old man said was very ordinary. Not at all impressed.

Obviously, it may have been drowned in the long river of history. After all, in those decades, turbulent years, I don't know how many people died.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Since you love The Mole's Tale so much, would you like to visit my studio?"

Qin Feng has no clue now, so he just went to visit, this is a childhood long-cherished wish.

Soon, Qin Feng came to Zdenek Miller's studio. Of course, it hasn't been started for a long time, but it's spotless, and there are still all kinds of scene drawings from the past, as well as scene props.

If this place is open to the outside world, Qin Feng believes that there will be many tourists who will come to visit.

After all, "The Mole's Tale" is very popular.

"By the way, are you coming to the Czech Republic for study or tourism?" asked Zdenekmilaire curiously.
