Chapter 353 A Plan to Infiltrate the Film and Television Industry

Li Qin always felt that although divine power was important, it should still be used when necessary and should not be wasted.

Moreover, even if divine power is consumed, all that's needed is to find a way to collect emotional power later.

If you only know how to collect and accumulate divine power but are unwilling to use it, then what's the difference between you and a corpse-guarding ghost?

Not to mention that this time he's doing it to optimize and upgrade the automatic writing pen.

Once this task is completed, his speed in transferring novels will be greatly improved.

After the novel is published, he will be able to acquire more emotional power and collect it at a faster speed.

Correspondingly, the speed at which divine power is accumulated will also increase.

As divine power burned, a brand-new automatic sketching pen manufacturing plan was quickly formed.

Upon receiving the information from the divine spark, a look of satisfaction flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

The automatic pens manufactured using the new method are not only more efficient at writing text, but also support multiple languages.

Traditional Chinese characters used in Hong Kong are also included.

In addition to this, there are some other benefits.

Overall, Li Qin was very satisfied.

However, upon seeing the materials needed to craft the mechanical pencil, a hint of heartache flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

In addition to some common materials, some rarer materials are also needed, such as the heartwood of a thousand-year-old tree;

Although these materials were a bit tricky for Li Qin, he could still handle them with his current abilities.

What Li Qin didn't expect was that refining the new automatic pen would require pure gold and mithril.

Although the consumption is not much, Li Qin plans to fight on multiple fronts, so he will need to refine a few more automatic pens.

The sheer amount of pure gold and mithril required was enough to make Li Qin's heart ache.

After all, the conversion rate between these substances and ordinary gold and silver is extremely low.

Although it hurt, Li Qin gritted his teeth and accepted it.

"Forget it, I was thinking of taking a short break soon, but it looks like I won't be able to get a good night's sleep for the next few nights."

Over time, Li Qin has accumulated some gold and silver.

If refined into pure gold and mithril, it would be more than enough to make several mechanical pens.

There is even a considerable surplus.

But after thinking it over, Li Qin finally made his decision;

Since we're going to make mechanical pencils anyway, let's accumulate more gold and silver, and then make another layer of pagoda space while we're at it.

To collect enough gold and silver, he could only continue to visit those kind-hearted foreigners and ask them to generously donate to support him.

As a result, Li Qin had to be active almost every night during this period, so he naturally couldn't get a good night's sleep.

In addition, Li Qin also set his sights on those engaged in the heroin business in Hong Kong.

These people also possessed a large amount of money and gold.

Leaving it to these people will only lead to them harming others in the end; it's better to hand it over to them so they can use it for something more meaningful.

With this in mind, Li Qin immediately began summoning flocks of birds and then controlling them to monitor various parts of Hong Kong.

"In the coming period, we will collect other materials for refining alchemical items, and at the same time, we can investigate various newspapers in Hong Kong, which will also be helpful for the future serialization of the novel."

Li Qin knew very well that even if the novels he copied were of excellent quality, getting them serialized in the newspaper would not be an easy task.

His novels could only be published if they were first approved.

Fortunately, Li Qin is no ordinary person; he doesn't need to compromise himself.

Li Qin planned to investigate the situation in various newspapers thoroughly before using the power of magic to influence those in power.

He doesn't need to influence things too much; he just needs to ensure the novel is published smoothly.

"For now, we'll use these existing newspaper platforms. Once we've established a firm foothold in Hong Kong, we might be able to start our own newspaper business."

Although it is possible to influence some people through magic, thereby successfully publishing one's novel.

But Li Qin still preferred to make his own decisions.

Thinking about starting a newspaper, Li Qin then thought about the near future when television would also become widespread.

It seems that the film and television industry could also get involved.

Moreover, compared to novels, it seems easier and simpler to harvest emotional power through film and television.

As his mind opened up, Li Qin had many ideas.

He wrote all these thoughts down for the time being.

We will implement them one by one when the time is right in the future.

As for now, many conditions are not yet ripe, and it is not the right time to take action.

Just as Li Qin was about to put the film and television industry on hold for the time being, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something;

"No, that's not right. I seem to have misunderstood something."

Li Qin suddenly remembered that although television was not yet widespread,

But movies are no longer a rarity.

There are now quite a few film companies in Hong Kong.

Two years from now, Run Run Shaw and his third brother, Shaw Renmei, will establish the very famous Shaw Brothers film company.

After its establishment, Shaw Brothers Studio released over 1000 films.

It directly defeated many film companies of the same period, such as Cathay and Guangyi, and became the unshakeable hegemon of the Hong Kong film industry.

Li Qin could easily use other means to bring the Shaw Brothers under his control.

He will easily become a big shot in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

This will be of great help to him in the future harvesting of emotional power.

With this in mind, Li Qin immediately noted it down in his memo, so that he could start preparing once the publication of the novel was settled.

"I didn't expect time to fly by so quickly. It's time to go back to Beijing."

Li Qin checked the time and realized it was already afternoon; the steel rolling mill would be closing in a few hours.

Li Huaide was still waiting for his news; Li Qin needed to go back.

With a wave of his hand, Li Qin tidied up the newspapers and other items that had been scattered around the apartment.

Then Li Qincai returned to Beijing using the key. He Apparated and appeared on a road outside Beijing, took out his bicycle, and rode off to the steel mill.

Although it was already afternoon, there was still some time before the end of the workday, so Li Qin wasn't in a hurry.

It took Li Qin more than half an hour to get to the steel rolling mill.

After greeting the security guards at the gate, Li Qin went straight inside.

"Uncle Li, I'm back!"

Li Qin went directly to Li Huaide's office.

At that moment, Li Huaide was sitting in his office chair, smoking, drinking tea, and reading the newspaper.

Upon hearing Li Qin's voice, Li Huaide casually tossed the newspaper aside and looked at Li Qin with a delighted expression.

"You've been gone for so long without a word. I was worried something had happened to you."

Although Li Huaide was concerned about the wild boar meat, his tone also revealed his worry and concern for Li Qin.

Upon realizing this, Li Qin immediately gave a simple, honest smile.

At this moment, he did feel a slight unease.
