What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

In the Shanghai branch of Random House, only three or five employees in the office gathered together to discuss work matters, and the rest were fighting on their own.

In the absence of suitable commercial books to publish, Random House also acts as a guest in the work of "moving" domestic academic books and periodical translations to overseas. Of course, it is the overseas publishing of purely academic books. Doesn't care about profitability.

Moreover, the number of academic books that can be considered is very small, and it is often the responsibility of a group of three or five people.

When passing by the desks of several employees, Li Chungang subconsciously turned his head and glanced at their computer screens. Some were browsing the news, some were watching movies and watching dramas, which made him inexplicably envious. An easy, high-paying job should be everyone's dream!

Under the guidance of the lady at the front desk, Li Chungang and Luo Wen almost drove straight to Thompson's office.

Today's Li Chungang is a well-known celebrity in China. Many staff members of Random House noticed him along the way. They were extremely surprised and couldn't help whispering to colleagues next to him.

"Hey~ What do you think Li Chungang is here for?"

"Damn! You don't even read the news, what else can you do? I think it's most likely that you regretted rejecting Boss, so you came to us in person to get Boss to republish his book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". "

"What you said makes sense, but I always feel that things are not that simple!"

"Jane is not simple, that's other people's business. Is it because the movie is not good to watch, the drama is not easy to follow, or because the work is too easy?"

"That's not true."

The person who spoke first was embarrassed by his colleagues, so he had no choice but to return to his desk and continue to follow the drama, but he was so absent-minded, he couldn't help but want to look back at their boss Thompson's office from time to time, curious What the hell is going on inside...

Knock Knock——

The lady at the front desk knocked on the door of Mr. Thompson's office for the two of them. After the voice of "please come in" came from inside, she pushed the door open and said softly: "Mr. Thompson, these two gentlemen want to visit you .” After finishing speaking, he turned and returned to the front desk post.

Thompson was specially dressed today. He was wearing a gray suit and a pure black tie. He was sitting behind his desk busy with something. When he saw the two people entering the door, he stood up with a happy expression on his face and greeted them. people,

Stretched out his hand and said:

"Mr. Li, Mr. Luo, hello, I didn't expect you to come so early."

"Mr. Thompson, hello." Li Chungang shook hands with Thompson with a smile, and joked, "I keep everything I promised you in mind. I'm afraid that you will be anxious."

"No, no, I'm not in a hurry, but looking forward to the works strongly recommended by Mr. Li. Come on, sit down and talk slowly."

Foreigners have different views and preferences on office decoration and layout. Unlike Brilliance and Dong Sicheng who like to have a table and chairs in their office for receiving guests, Thompson pointed to the two chairs in front of his desk He motioned for the two to sit down, while he returned to his desk and sat down again.

I know my own business, Thompson still admires Li Chungang personally, and also looks forward to the other party's amazing and impressive works, so he said bluntly: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you said the day before yesterday. Did you get the work? I didn’t receive it in the mailbox.”

The printed thick stack of A4 paper was placed in front of Thompson.

Come prepared!

Thompson took the stack of papers, leaned back in his chair, and began to read it formally.

Half an hour later, when using the eyes for a long time, it is inevitable that the eyes will feel sore, but the content in the hand is so exciting that Thompson is completely immersed in it, and has no thought of blinking or rubbing his eyes. He is still reading the next chapter content.

Time passed so quietly. Li Chungang and Luo Wen played with their mobile phones with their heads down, and they were not in a hurry to disturb Thompson. Publishing a manuscript review is not a simple and fast thing. Not worth publishing.

Impress yourself before impressing others!

Before you want to make other readers willing to pay for a book, you must first make yourself willing to buy this book!

After reading for forty or fifty minutes in a row, Thompson finally put down the manuscript in his hands reluctantly, and rubbed his sore eyeballs from long-term use. At the same time, he also needed some time to savor what he just read. past content.

With an extremely limited vocabulary, he doesn't know how to describe the book he saw. He can only say that if the book is published, he will definitely take out his wallet without hesitation!

In fact, being willing to take out your wallet to buy a book is the best affirmation for a book.

"This "Lord of the Rings" must be published!"

At this time, Thompson only had one firm thought left in his mind. Now he finally understands why Li Chungang said the day before yesterday that this book is more suitable for publishing overseas. English language.

Randomly flipping through the thickness and number of pages of the entire manuscript, at least it is more than 100,000 words. In this way, Li Chungang has already started to prepare to enter the overseas publishing market before that. It's just luck to come into contact with Li Chungang at this time.

Even without their Random House, there will be other overseas publishing houses to publish this "Lord of the Rings".

"Thank God!"

Thinking of this, Thompson breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was glad that God did not completely abandon him and sent him such a rare opportunity. If he can't grasp this opportunity well, then it is really hopeless Can be saved.

"I don't know what Thompson thinks of my "Lord of the Rings"?"

"In my opinion, the evaluation of this "Lord of the Rings" is definitely higher than S+, maybe even more than that." The world's number one commercial publisher like Penguin Random House naturally has a unique set of published works. Evaluation system, Thompson, who has single-handedly contributed to many best-selling global masterpieces, dares to conclude that this S+ evaluation is 100% certain.

If it weren't for the fact that Random House's highest rating for published books is S+, he would have given it an SSS rating.

After the question and answer, both parties did not continue to speak for a while out of consideration, and the scene became silent in an instant.

What's interesting now is that Li Chungang and Random House are concubines who want to publish "The Lord of the Rings", but choose to keep silent because they don't want to be at a disadvantage in the next negotiation.

Whoever speaks first will be left behind!
