Reborn Cultural Empire

"So after you visited Citigroup for more than ten days, you finally...well, no, it should be the third or fourth day from the bottom, and by the way, a Citigroup police officer was slapped, so that The reporter who interviewed you matched up with the jng policeman, and then a report actually took off the hat of a jng policeman?"

At Rogo's home in Yuezhou, the fat man was huddled in that inconspicuous but genuine sofa made of huanghuali. This was in front of his happy wife who married Wei An, the old man of the Luo family It was delivered by Rogo's grandfather, a cousin who asked him to do business abroad, thinking that his grandson is also a Confucian businessman in cultural business, so the decoration at home should not lose face.However, the facts told him that Rogo really separated work and life very clearly. In short, after returning to his home, he didn't have the slightest Confucian businessman's temperament, just like his current performance, with an expression of joy on his face. I am also full of longing for how Yang Yi will toss in Citigroup.

"Speaking of it, it's not that I let that policeman suffer, but that the other party has a problem, can't enforce the law impartially, and is a racial prejudicer. Even if this kind of person doesn't meet me, he will be unlucky because of this mentality sooner or later. It’s the same when you meet anyone who is serious.” Yang Yi waved his hand and smiled, but he didn’t take this matter too seriously, if it wasn’t for Rogo who had to ask about everything, he might not have Mentioning this matter to anyone, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, forcing a police officer from a foreign country to resign is a very remarkable and awesome thing, but in Yang Yi's view, he saw the low status of Chinese people.And he hates iron but steel for not striving for a living environment and not making legitimate demands.If the conflict with the Citigroup police this time is not him himself but another Chinese, as long as there is no too deep background.Most likely it will not end well.

So after experiencing this incident, he didn't feel happy at all, but felt ashamed, at least the shame of everyone who identified with the Yanhuang blood in his blood in his heart.But fortunately, the final result is not too bad, more or less not a tragic ending.

Seeing that Yang Yiyi mentioned this matter more, Rogo quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you have spent almost half a month in the past, from San Francisco to New York, and traveled half of Citigroup along the way. That Haven't the sales data of "Twilight" come out yet? When Random House contacted us last time, it didn't mean that their sales channels can clearly and incorrectly count the daily sales, and the average statistical delay time is not yet. Is it an hour? Did they tell you about the sales of "Twilight"? Or did the book fail to meet expectations, so they didn't bother to tell you because they were upset?" [

"Please, are you cursing me?" Yang Yi looked at Rogo in amazement, not knowing what the fat man meant, as one of the only two directors in Yang Yi Culture's board of directors.He should cry bitterly and wait for the sales results over there, instead of the crow's mouth like this.So after glaring at the other party angrily, the reborn man waved his hand: "The 24-hour sales statistics are indeed not an exaggeration. But this kind of single r sales is not very important for a book product." The reference significance. Even the sales volume of the first r on the market is the same, let alone the sales statistics of a single r after half a month after a book is released. But if there is no accident, Edward will Fax the total sales of the first month, this matter. He has already called me in advance."

"Sales in the first month? Hey, if they started promoting "Twilight" from the moment they logged into Citigroup, how many yards can they come back now? Didn't you say that Citigroup's copyright laws and regulations are perfect Is it? People also have a strong sense of copyright, if it can reach half of the first month sales of your other bestsellers, I will be considered a high incense." Rogo smacked his mouth, and rubbed his thumb and index finger on his chin for a long time Finally, I couldn't help but sighed: "If this is the case, I will invite you to Xiuhu Hotel to have a good meal at night as a token of condolence."

"Why, do you think it is very difficult to break the record of 30 copies sold in the first month?" Yang Yi couldn't help but look at the other party, thinking that this fat man is a little too lacking in fighting spirit, and he had given him so many vaccinations before. , lest this guy suddenly hear the good news and get so excited that he rolls his eyes and turns his head.But now it seems that maybe his experience in Citigroup has made him feel pessimistic, thinking that the market for written works by Chinese authors in Citigroup may not be as good as he imagined before.

"I didn't say that it would be great if we could break the monthly sales record of 30 copies of new books, but even if we can't, discrimination is fine, as long as the performance in overseas markets is better than in China." Rogo waved Waving his hands, he sighed just as Yang Yi thought: "I just think that since even the police of Citigroup, who are law enforcement officers, can so blatantly use tricks on us, then there must be similar bastards among ordinary people. Eggs exist, maybe there are a lot of people, so these people will definitely not become the authors of "Twilight"? Now I know that even if you go abroad for discrimination, it doesn't mean you can live happily."

"Nonsense." Yang Yi waved his hand angrily, thinking that he really didn't see it, could it be that the fat man next to him was also a guy who thought the moon in foreign countries was rounder before?But this kind of thought just flashed in my mind, and then Luo Fat changed the subject: "By the way, there was an old woman named Sister Wang a few days ago who said she was Miss Chang's manager. Then I want to meet with you for an interview. At first I thought something happened, how could you provoke that aunt who is not easy to provoke when you are abroad, but people said that you gave that Miss Chang, and wrote What about a script, let them contact you when they have time?"

While he couldn't help but tsk-tsk, Rogo stared at Yang Yi with envious eyes: "You boy is not kind, you secretly gave it to an actress and didn't tell me, why, you are worried that I will take this Tell your little daughter-in-law? Don't worry. Everyone, I may ask you to help keep some secrets in the future. I will definitely not be so short-sighted. By the way. What movie and TV show did Miss Chang act in? How did you hook up together? ? Let me pass on my experience to my brother."

"Don't be so condescending, okay?" Yang Yi looked at the guy in front of him, whose eyes were all glinting when he mentioned beautiful women.There is no good way to take the other party, so I can only wave my hands and ignore the other party: "I won't tell you this, wait a minute, the call is coming, maybe it's that guy Edward. Hey, don't grab the phone, really It was Edward who called, if you mess around again, my name is Sister Wei'an..."

……

The two big bosses of Yangyi Culture were sitting on the balcony of Luo Fatty's house.While enjoying the cool breeze at night in early May, Citigroup, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, started a new day of work at 08:30 in the morning, and still stayed at the headquarters of Random House Group, where the sales department was. Edward, the president of the Asian copyright affairs department, who was waiting for the statistical results of the company's internal system, was also anxiously waiting for the results.

The previous behavior of betting on Yang Yi, now is the time to see if he can get enough returns in return.If the sales performance of that "Twilight Saga" in the North American book market can be squeezed into the top [-] of the annual bestseller list, then he might be able to further promote his company because of his "wisdom" Internal title and status - now the title of President of the Asia Copyright Affairs Department.Although it sounds very scary, in fact, it is the same as what Rafatil, the marketing director of the Bantam Group, said.He's just a senior librarian, to put it even worse.It was Detective Langdon.After all, the division of labor is different from company to company, compared with the head of the Copyright Affairs Department of Kodansha Fujioka Takumi.As long as they are in charge of liaising with foreign writers in Random House, basically they don't have much real power inside the company, except for the right to express their opinions on the works of foreign writers they are following, let alone Langdon. The headquarters of Dengshuwu Group, even the seven sub-groups under its jurisdiction, as well as the publishing branches in these sub-groups, are not in their turn to dictate.

Others don't say anything, just say that Sean, the general manager of Peacock Publishing Company, has more say in specific affairs than Edward. Maybe the former can't speak at the headquarters of Random House Group, but in Bantam Group, Xiao En En began to have a certain right to speak. After he joined the Peacock Publishing Company, as long as he did not touch the bottom line of the group's operation strategy, he had almost the right to say what he said within the company, unless it was necessary to use the group's resources. Instructions need to be reported layer by layer.

Therefore, between him and Sean, it is impossible to tell who values ​​the "Twilight Saga" promotional event more. Statistics.

And 5 minutes later, on the computer screen of the marketing staff, after a series of statistics and calculations, they were finally able to check the latest internal data. The number that was flickering at a high speed that could be detected by the human eye made Edward Immediately excited, after a short surprise, it was an unbelievable feeling, and immediately wiped his eyes vigorously, stepped forward to look at it again, and at this time, the marketing staff in front of him just turned around , took a panoramic view of Edward's little movements, couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed: "Congratulations, President Edward, the "Twilight Saga" you discovered is likely to hit this year's annual bestseller list in one fell swoop. , Of course, if it came to Citigroup earlier, it would be more secure."

Edward understood what the other party meant, because the statistics of the best-selling books of the year were calculated after Christmas, and this "Twilight Saga" was resisted by some executives in charge of the release plan in the company, so It failed to go on the market immediately after the arrival of the New Year, but it was postponed until April to meet readers from all over the world one after another. As far as the competition for the annual bestseller list is concerned, it is already in an inherently unfavorable position.If it can be released after Christmas...even if it is not Christmas, even if it can be published in the North American market one month in advance, it will have a considerable impact on the final overall score of the book, but now based on "Twilight" Judging from the momentum shown, it would be a pity to fail to catch the time.
