America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 106 Mark Twain Comes to the Door

After launching his plan in the Far East, Li Changsheng returned to California. Now that the main focus of his plans is in the Far East, Li Changsheng naturally won't bother with California anymore.

After making arrangements for his clones in California and letting them grow on their own, Li Changsheng looked at the new book his clones had helped him write and simply returned to New York.

There was nothing he could do; it wasn't that he didn't want to stay home, but his current home simply couldn't compare to the vibrancy of New York.

Li Changsheng, who transmigrates to parallel worlds and has a clone every day, has been busy for so long, he deserves a good rest.

Anyway, everything is accompanied by clones, and now telegrams can be connected all over the world, and there are also telephone companies that allow many clones to communicate with each other.

It can be said that many things don't require Li Changsheng's main body to worry about; his clones can handle them on their own.

This is much easier than when he first transmigrated, when he had to rely entirely on himself.

In the past few years, he had to help his clones pass messages to each other, but as telegraphs became more widespread, the clones were able to pass messages on their own.

It's just that some messages are too slow to be transmitted, or there are places where telegrams can't be connected, so Li Changsheng is needed to help pass on the messages.

However, with the recent global proliferation of telephones, Li Changsheng's original body has become increasingly relaxed.

Moreover, not long ago, the patent for TNT was acquired by the clone, and manufacturing has now begun in the Far East.

It can be said that as long as Li Changsheng's clone completes the Far East plan, he will be able to control half of the Pacific Ocean.

This is the most crucial thing for Li Changsheng right now.

This would allow him to have an absolute base of operations in a short period of time.

With this base, his plans for Panama, Singapore, and East Timor can all be realized in the future.

At the same time, new plans can be devised.

Before the Far East project is completed, Li Changsheng's clones will no longer be able to be deployed to any more places.

Li Changsheng didn't want all the things he had painstakingly researched using his future memories to be stolen by the United States in the end.

Since controlling the family requires a huge investment, progress is slow, and ultimately it will be subject to American control, it's better to develop directly in the Far East. Once the Far East plan is completely successful, he will have a strong rear base and a solid foundation. At that time, many research and development achievements can be promoted to the world from the Far East, and the Far East will become a true world hegemon.

Once the Far East has been developed sufficiently, the remaining clones can be deployed to other areas.

Because there are no more branches to be deployed to the United States at the moment, California can only let the branches work on their own.

Li Changsheng didn't have much to do for the time being. He only needed to summon his clones at fixed times every day, and nothing else mattered to him.

So upon arriving in New York, Li Changsheng immediately sought out Edison, intending to take Edison, his only friend in America, to enjoy life together.

Unexpectedly, before he could even go to Edison, after returning to the Chinese American newspaper office, he was taken to the meeting room by Wang Qingfu.

"Chang Sheng, you've finally arrived! This is Mr. Mark Twain, the famous American writer. He's been waiting for you at the newspaper office ever since he heard you were returning to New York a few days ago."

"You're finally back today. Now it's your turn to entertain Mr. Mark Twain."

"Let me tell you, Mr. Mark Twain has brought a work that is enough to influence the whole of America. You'd better treat him well. If you treat him well, Mr. Mark Twain might even serialize this work on his private bus or publish it with his publishing house."

"Although your works are read by many people in America, and our newspaper has no shortage of readers, it would also be beneficial for our newspaper to publish Mr. Mark Twain's works in their newspaper."

"Most importantly, Mr. Mark Twain's work is fantastic. I've already read it, and it's sure to cause a sensation and make us a fortune."

"You should seize this opportunity."

Wang Qingfu intended to speak in Mandarin, but unexpectedly, Mark Twain smiled and said something in Chinese after he finished speaking.

"Wang, although I have been communicating with you in English these days, I can speak Chinese. You can't deny a writer's talent for languages."

"I started learning two years ago, and now I can communicate with you normally."

"And all of this is simply because I want to better understand the works of Huaxia, and better understand the works of Changsheng Li."

""

Wang Qingfu was somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. I absolutely didn't mean anything by it. I just like your work and just hope that your work can be serialized in our newspaper and published by our publishing house. I have absolutely no other bad intentions. Please believe me."

Mark Twain was still smiling.

"It's obvious that if you had bad intentions, I wouldn't have spoken Mandarin, would I?"

Wang Qingfu quickly bowed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Mark Twain."

"I won't disturb your conversation any longer, I'll take my leave now."

Wang Qingfu quickly left, feeling extremely embarrassed. He feared he would be utterly ashamed if he stayed any longer.

Li Changsheng apologized again on behalf of Wang Qingfu before smiling, reaching out to shake hands with Mark Twain, and even giving him a hug.

"I never expected to have the honor of meeting Mr. Mark Twain today. May I ask why you were waiting for me?"

"Could it be that something important has happened?"

Li Changsheng really had no idea what Mark Twain was up to.

Logically, the intersection between the two should only be in writing, but even if it's just in writing, there's no need to wait a few days.

Fortunately, Mark Twain's next words made Li Changsheng understand why he had come.

"Li, I finally have the chance to see you."

"You don't know, I've been here many times, but I've never had the chance to meet you before."

"I heard you were coming back from San Francisco, so I waited for you in New York."

"You have no idea how much I love the books you've written, whether it's The Little Dwarfs, The Lord of the Rings, or your latest work, The Golden Crow, they are all imaginative works."

"I think this has a direct connection to the fact that you are an inventor."

"It is precisely because you are able to invent these things that it proves how active your mind is."

"So active that they can invent things that others can't think of, so active that they can imagine scenarios that others can't imagine."

"Could you tell me about the rest of the plot of the novel 'Golden Crow'?"

"And have you been working on any new inventions lately? Any new patents?"
