rebirth of change

Chapter 38 is a global hit

"Mr. Ouyang, this novel you wrote is so wonderful, there should be a later part, right?" Li Wendong realized that there were still guests behind him, and he was a little embarrassed to express his impoliteness, and then he started to care about the book.

"Mr. Li, you have misunderstood. This book was not written by me, but by my client. I am his agent and authorized to handle the publishing matters. What's more, what you have is only the first volume. There are three volumes." Ouyang Zhenhua was naturally very happy to see that this book was so attractive to this industry insider. After waving his hand to indicate that it was okay, he began to introduce this book and his role.

"Oh, which author wrote this book, can you tell me? I'm very interested." As a senior person in the industry, Li Wendong should also be interested in authors who can write such a book. Getting to know more powerful writers is a compulsory course for them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's not convenient for the author of this book to meet, so he entrusted it to me. I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about the publication of this book?" Ouyang Zhenhua knew that he had been misunderstood, and hurried Explain clearly, and ask Li Wendong's thoughts and wishes.

"This book is a rare good book in recent years, but it is in English, and the storyline is also suitable for Western tastes. We happen to have channels for this, so if possible, we would like to publish this book." Li Wendong wanted to make a decision , and I really don’t want to let go of this book, which should sell a lot of books, so I praised the book as good, and also hinted that there are not many publishing companies in Hong Kong that can publish to the Western world, so I want to highlight my own advantages for future negotiations Lower the price tag.

"The author also said that this book is very suitable for Western tastes, but the author also wrote a Chinese version, so if it is published, it can be published in both Chinese and English." Li Wendong's trick, so he pointed out that he not only knows the target market, but also is prepared for the local market.

Li Wendong hesitated, and said: "We are interested in publishing, but I have to meet the author, and everything else is easy to talk about." Li Wendong still did not give up on getting to know the author.

There are indeed not many powerful publishing companies in Hong Kong that can publish in the West. Ouyang Zhenhua cannot make the decision of Li Wendong's request, so he temporarily avoided calling Chen Kangjie.

After listening to Ouyang Zhenhua's explanation on the phone, Chen Kangjie thought for a while. Li Wendong's request was also reasonable. The publishing company had never even met the author, so it really didn't respect the other party.He agreed immediately, but he couldn't leave if he wanted to practice martial arts, and Ouyang Zhenhua and Li Wendong had to come to Qianzhou to see him.

After getting Chen Kangjie's consent, Ouyang Zhenhua said to Li Wendong with some embarrassment, "The author is not in Hong Kong, but in the Mainland, and he is only an eight-year-old elementary school student. If you want to meet, I can only accompany you to the Mainland."

"Ah? Mainland? An eight-year-old elementary school student?" Li Wendong's mouth widened in surprise. He never thought that the author was from the Mainland, let alone an eight-year-old elementary school student. How could he not be shocked.

Ouyang Zhenhua could only nod with a wry smile, no matter who it was, he would be very surprised. Ouyang Zhenhua was already deeply touched by this.

After getting an affirmative answer, Li Wendong sat down blankly. Now he is more interested in this genius. Let alone in the mainland, he has to meet him in the sky, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well.

"Since Mr. Li agreed to meet the author with me, there are some things you will know in the future. I can tell you something about this, that is "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", "Do You Know I'm Waiting for You", "About This is also the songwriter of "In Winter" and other Platinum albums, but you have to keep it a secret." Ouyang Zhenhua added, now that we have cooperated, Li Wendong will know these things in the future, so it's better to sell your favor first.

Hearing Ouyang Zhenhua mention Chen Kangjie's "great achievements", Li Wendong was stunned for a while again. It seemed that he really met a genius and found a treasure. He wished he could go to the mainland to meet this genius right now.

"Mr. Li, hello, welcome to Qianzhou", we just met at the guest house.Chen Kangjie smiled and extended his hand to Li Wendong to say hello.

"Hello, hello, Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen", when he saw this person in front of him, he was very calm and energetic, but his face still couldn't hide the natural childishness in his physiology, which made Li Wendong a little nervous, and he didn't know how to address him .In the end, like Ouyang Zhenhua, Chen Kangjie was treated equally as an adult.

"Mr. Li, you can call me Xiaojie, Chen Kangjie, I'm sorry to have to take you all the way here." Chen Kangjie looked polite and general.

"Okay, I'll call you Xiaojie, hehe, Xiaojie, I am very interested in your book "Twilight", and we also have this ability, so I am here this time, besides seeing Besides you, a genius, you just want to finalize the publication of this book." Li Wendong is also an old man, and he quickly entered the role, succinctly stating his intention and goal.

"Mr. Li is willing to help me publish, I naturally wish for it, but I don't know how Mr. Li plans to arrange specific matters." Chen Kangjie still spoke so calmly, so steady that it was a bit unbearable, and he kicked the ball with a single sentence When you get to the other party, you will wait to see the order and order.

"In terms of editions, both Chinese and English can be published simultaneously. In terms of channels, we can cooperate with Raheem Books in the United States and Lawrence Books in the UK. They have good channel resources in North America and Europe. Southeast Asia , our Huashang company is responsible for it, we have ready-made channels, Japan and South Korea, we can authorize the publication. The first batch can print 100 million copies first. As for the issue of publishing fees, our company can give you one dollar per book .If our company goes all out, it will be listed globally within one month. I don’t know if Xiaojie has any comments.”

It could be seen that Li Wendong had made considerable preparations before the meeting, so he said almost all of Chen Kangjie's concerns at once.

Chen Kangjie thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing major to modify, but he still added one sentence. <This name, the second is to keep it secret, and not let the fourth person know that I am the author, and the third is that you can find publishers in the mainland to cooperate. For the mainland market, I don’t need to pay for the manuscript.” Chen Kangjie said two things he cared about. In one aspect, taking into account the economic situation in the Mainland, this part of the fee is also exempted in order to reduce the price.

Although Li Wendong was unwilling to Chen Kangjie's suggestion, he could only agree.He actually wanted to hype up an eight-year-old young writer, which would sell better, but Chen Kangjie proposed it himself, and he could only protect the rights of minors.

After Ouyang Zhenhua took out the proposed agreement and signed it, he and Li Wendong returned to Hong Kong to work on publishing.Chen Kangjie also happened to be the shopkeeper, continuing his next novel.

The efficiency of Huashang Publishing Culture Co., Ltd. is indeed high. It should be because Li Wendong wanted to further open up the western market through this book, so he worked hard. Just one month later, "Twilight" was launched globally.

As soon as it was released, readers rushed to buy it. The first batch of 100 million copies was sold out in three days. Huashang Company hurriedly printed another 300 million copies, but it was still not enough to sell. Booksellers rushed to rush the order within a week.In the end, it was reprinted eight times in a row. It may be the reason for the global simultaneous listing, or it may be the reason why the author is mysterious and Huashang Publishing Company has stepped up publicity. It sold 100 million copies in just four months.Seeing this astonishing figure, Li Wendong and Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear. They didn't expect it to be such a best seller. They thought they could only sell 500 million copies, but it turned out to be ten times in half a year, and the sales volume is still growing. .
