"So after you visited Citi Country for more than ten days, finallywell, no, I should say it was the third or fourth day to last, and you also defeated a Citizen policeman, and made that The reporter who interviewed you got into trouble with the police, and then a report actually accused a policeman? " At Luo Ge's home in Yuezhou, the fat man was huddled in that inconspicuous but real picture. Inside the sofa was made by Huanghuali. Before the big day when he and Wei An got married, the old man of the Luo family, Luo Ge’s grandfather, asked his cousin who was doing business abroad to deliver it in person. He was thinking of himself. After all, my grandson is also a Confucian businessman engaged in cultural business, so the furnishings in his home must not lose face. However, the facts told him that Luo Ge made a very clear distinction between work and life. In short, after returning to his home, he did not have the slightest temperament of a Confucian businessman. Just like his current performance, he looked overjoyed. Looking at it, it seemed that He is also full of supreme yearning for how Yang Yi is struggling in Citi Country. "It's not that I frustrated the policeman, but that the policeman had his own problems and couldn't enforce the law impartially. He was also a racial prejudicer. Even if such a person did not meet me, he would sooner or later be unlucky because of this mentality. It's the same when you meet any serious person." Yang Yi waved his hand and smiled, but he didn't take this matter too seriously. If Luo Ge hadn't asked about every detail, he might not have done it at all. Mentioning this matter to anyone, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, forcing a foreign policeman to resign is a very remarkable and awesome thing, but in Yang Yi's eyes, he saw the low status of Chinese-Americans. And the hatred of not fighting for the living environment and not making legitimate demands. If the conflict with the Citizen police this time was not him but another Chinese, as long as he didn't have a deep background. It probably won't end well. Therefore, after experiencing this incident, he did not feel happy at all, but felt ashamed, at least the shame of everyone who recognized the Yanhuang bloodline in his heart. But fortunately, the final result was not too bad, and it was more or less a tragic ending. Seeing that Yang Yi had no intention of mentioning this matter, Rogo quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you took me with you for almost half a month, from San Francisco to New York, and traveled through most of Citigroup. The sales data for "Twilight" haven't been released yet? When Random House contacted us last time, it wasn't said that their sales channels could clearly and accurately calculate daily sales, and the average statistical delay time was still Didn't they tell you that the sales of "Twilight" were not as good as expected, so they didn't bother to tell you?" "Please, are you cursing? Me?" Yang Yi looked at Luo Ge in surprise, not sure what the fat man meant, as one of the only two directors on the board of directors of Yangyi Culture. He should be crying and waiting for the sales results over there, instead of his current crow-like approach. So after glaring at the other party angrily, the reborn man waved his hand: "The statistics of 24-hour sales data are indeed not an exaggeration. But this kind of single-day sales is not very important for a book product. This is a reference. Even the sales volume on the first day of release is the same, let alone the single-day sales statistics of a book half a month after its release. But if nothing unexpected happens, Edward will. Fax the total sales volume in the first month. He has already called me to inform me of this in advance. "Hey, they started building momentum for "Twilight" from the moment they logged into Citi Country. , then tell me, how many codes can come back now? Didn’t you say that Citi’s copyright laws are very complete? People’s copyright awareness is also very strong. If it can reach half of the first-month sales of your other best-sellers, I’ll give it a try. "It's a high-burning incense." Luo Ge smacked his mouth and rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger for a while before he couldn't help but sigh: "If that's the case, I'll treat you to Xiuhu Hotel for a good meal tonight. "Why, do you think it will be difficult to break the record of 300,000 copies sold in the first month?" Yang Yi couldn't help but look at the other party, thinking that this fat man was a little too unmotivated. He had given it back before. He had taken so many vaccinations to prevent this guy from suddenly hearing the good news and getting so excited that he rolled his eyes, rolled his hair and raised his braids. But now it seems that perhaps his experience in Citigroup has made him pessimistic, thinking that the market for Chinese authors' literary works in Citigroup may not be as good as he thought before. "I didn't say that if we can break the monthly new book sales record of 300,000 copies, that would be great, but even if we can't break it, discrimination is nothing, as long as the performance in overseas markets is better than in China." Rogo said. Waving his hand, Yang Yi sighed as expected: "I just think that since the Citizen police who are law enforcement officers,?If they can use such blatant tactics against us, then there must be similar bastards among ordinary people. Maybe there are quite a lot of them. Then these people will definitely not become the authors of "Twilight"? Now I know that discrimination means that even if you go abroad, it does not mean that you will be free and happy. " "Nonsense. "Yang Yi waved his hands angrily, thinking that he really didn't notice it. Could it be that the fat man next to him also thought that the moon in foreign countries was rounder before? But this thought just flashed through his mind, and then Luo Fatty changed the topic: "By the way, a few days ago there was an old woman named Sister Wang who said she was Miss Chang's agent and wanted to meet you for an interview. I thought at first What happened? How come you were able to provoke that aunt who was not easy to mess with while abroad, but people said you wrote a script for that Miss Chang so that they could contact you when they had time? " While he couldn't help but click his tongue, Luo Ge stared at Yang Yi with extremely envious eyes: "You are not kind, you secretly picked up an actress and didn't tell me, why are you worried about me? Tell your little wife about this? Do not worry. Everyone, I may ask you to help keep some secrets in the future. I will definitely not be so short-sighted. correct. What movies and TV shows did Miss Chang appear in? How did you hook up together? Let me share my experience with you brother. " "Don't be so trivial, okay? " Yang Yi looked at the guy in front of him, his eyes sparkling when he mentioned beautiful women. There was no good way to deal with him, so he could only wave his hands and ignore him: "I won't tell you this, just wait. After a while, the call came, maybe it was that guy Edward. "Hey, hey, don't grab the phone. It's really Edward who's calling. If you keep doing this, I'll call Sister Wei'an" The two big bosses of Yangyi Culture were sitting on the balcony of Luo Pang's house. While enjoying the cool night breeze in early May, Citigroup, far away on the other side of the ocean, started a new day of work at 8:30 in the morning, and still stayed at the Random House Group headquarters, in the sales department. Edward, the president of the Asia Copyright Affairs Department, is waiting for the statistical results of the company's internal system. He is also anxiously waiting for the results. He had previously bet on Yang Yi, and now it is time to see if he can get enough returns. If the sales performance of "Twilight" in the North American book market can be ranked among the top 20 bestsellers of the year, then he may be able to further improve his company because of his "insight" The internal position and status - although the current title of President of Asia Copyright Affairs Department sounds very scary, in fact, it is the same as the previous marketing director of Bantam Group, Rafatier, who is just a senior book agent. It's just a human being, which is even worse to say. After all, the division of labor between companies is different, compared with Langdon, the head of the Copyright Affairs Department of Kodansha. As long as they are responsible for contacting foreign writers in the bookstore, they basically do not have much real power within the company. Except for the right to express opinions on the works of foreign writers they follow and like, let alone Random House. The group headquarters, even the seven sub-groups under its jurisdiction, and the publishing branches within these sub-groups, are not in their turn to dictate matters. Unless others say it, Sean, the general manager of Peacock Publishing Company, is responsible for specific matters. , has much more say than Edward. Perhaps the former cannot speak at the Random House Group Headquarters, but within the Bantam Group, Sean has begun to have a certain say. After arriving at Peacock Publishing Company, as long as he does not When it comes to the bottom line of the group's operating strategy, he has almost unlimited power within the company, unless it is an instruction that requires the use of group resources, which needs to be reported to each level. Therefore, there is also a division between him and Sean. There was no doubt who valued the promotion of "Twilight" more. At least on the surface, both of them were extremely nervous about the first month's sales statistics being released soon. And five minutes later, the marketing department staff said. On the computer screen, after a series of statistics and calculations, the latest internal data was finally able to be queried. The number flashing at a high speed at a frequency that was imperceptible to the human eye made Edward instantly excited. It was a brief surprise. After that, he felt unbelievable, and immediately wiped his eyes vigorously, and moved forward to look at it again. At this time, the marketing department employee in front of him also turned around and took full advantage of Edward's little movements. , couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "Congratulations, President Edward, the book "Twilight" you discovered is likely to rush into this year's annual bestseller list. Of course, if it comes to Citi The earlier the country is, the more confident it will be. ” Edward understood what the other party meant, because the annual contestThe statistics for this book were calculated after Christmas. However, this "Twilight" book was not released after the New Year due to the resistance of some executives responsible for the distribution plan within the company. It was launched immediately, but it was delayed until April to meet readers from all over the world. In terms of competing for the annual bestseller list, it was already at an inherent disadvantage. If it can be published in the North American market 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 with "The Twilight Saga" Judging from the momentum shown, it would be a pity not to be able to hit the right time.
