811. Proud Bole

"So after you spent more than ten days in Citigroup, finally... well, it's not right. It should be said that it was the third to last day or the fourth day. By the way, a Citigroup policeman was defeated and the reporter who interviewed you had a match. Then, a report actually took off a policeman's hat?"

Rogo was in his home in Yuezhou, and the fat man was huddling in the sofa made of inconspicuous but real Huanghuali. This was before the wedding day of Wei'an. The old man of the Luo family, also known as Rogo's grandfather, asked him to send it to him personally. He thought that his grandson was a Confucian businessman who was doing cultural business, and the decorations at home could not be a loss of face. However, the facts told him that Rogo distinguished his work and life very clearly. In short, after returning to his home, he did not have any Confucian business temperament. Just like his current performance, he looked overjoyed. Looking at that look, he seemed to be full of supreme yearning for how Yang Yi was tossing in Citiland.

"It's not that I'm making the policeman beat me up, but the other party has problems. Not to enforce the law impartially, but he's still a racial bias. Even if such a person doesn't meet me, he will sooner or later be unlucky because of this mentality. It's the same for anyone who is serious about it." Yang Yi waved his hand and smiled, but he didn't take this matter too much. If Rogo hadn't asked everything in detail, he might not have mentioned this to anyone at all. After all, to outsiders, forcing a foreign policeman to resign, it would be a very great thing. But in Yang Yi's opinion, he saw that the Chinese and Chinese status was low. He was also disappointed and unwilling to fight for the living environment and not to make legitimate demands. If the conflict with the Citigroup police this time was not him, but to change to other Chinese, as long as he didn't have a deep background, most of them would not have a good ending.

Therefore, after experiencing this incident, he did not feel happy at all, but was ashamed of, at least the shame of everyone who recognized the Yanhuang bloodline in his blood in his heart. Fortunately, the final result was not too bad, and it was more or less a tragic ending.

Seeing that Yang Yi was unintentionally mentioning this matter, Rogo quickly changed the topic: "By the way, you have been taking care of this for almost half a month, from San Francisco to Niu Yue, and traveled to most of the Citiland along the way. Has the sales data of "Twilight" not yet come out? When Random House contacted us last time, wasn't they saying that their sales channels could clearly count the daily sales, and the average statistical delay time was less than an hour? Have you ever told you about the sales volume of "Twilight"? Or is the results of this book not meeting expectations, so they were too lazy to tell you if they were unhappy?"

"Please, are you cursing me?" Yang Yi looked at Rogo 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 have cried and waited for the sales results there, rather than the current crow-like behavior. So after glaring at the other party with anger, the reborn man waved his hand: "The 24-hour sales data statistics are indeed not an exaggeration. But this single-day sales do not have very important reference significance for a book product. Even the sales volume on the first day of the listing is the same, let alone the single-day sales statistics half a month after a book was launched. But if nothing unexpected happens, Edward will fax the total sales volume in the first month. This matter has been called in advance."

"First month sales? Alas, if they started to build momentum for "Twilight" from the beginning of logging in to Citigroup, how many foreign countries can come back now? Didn't you say that their Citigroup's copyright regulations are very perfect? ​​People have a strong sense of copyright. If they can reach half of your other bestsellers' first month sales, I will burn high incense." Rogo smacked his lips, rubbed his thumb and index finger on his chin for a while, and then couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, I'll invite you to Xiuhu Hotel to have a good meal to show comfort."

"Why, do you think it's difficult to break the record of 300,000 copies in the first month?" Yang Yi couldn't help looking at the other party, thinking that this fat man was a little too unwilling to fight. He had given him so many vaccinations before, so that this guy suddenly became so excited that he rolled his eyes and turned his hair away after hearing the good news. But now it seems that perhaps his experience in Citigroup made him feel pessimistic, thinking that the Chinese author's market in Citigroup might not be as beautiful as he had imagined before.

"I didn't say that if we could break the monthly sales record of 300,000 new books, that would be great, but even if we couldn't break it, discrimination would be fine. As long as we performed better in the overseas market than in China." Rogo waved his hand, and sighed as Yang Yi thought: "I just think that since even the Citigroup police, who are law enforcement officers, can use methods to us so blatantly, then there must be similar bastards among those ordinary people. Maybe there are quite a lot of people, and then these people will definitely not become the author of "Twilight"? Now I know that even if you go abroad, it doesn't mean you can be happy."

"Nonsense." Yang Yi waved his hand angrily, thinking that he really didn't see it. Could it be that the fat man around him who thought the moon was rounder in foreign countries before? But this idea flashed through his heart, and then he was brought to the topic by Luo Pang: "By the way, a few days ago, there was an old woman named Sister Wang, who said she was Miss Chang's agent, and then she wanted to meet and talk to you. At first, I thought something had happened, why could you mess with the aunt abroad who was not easy to mess with at first sight, but people said that you wrote a script for Miss Chang, so that they could contact you when they had time?"

While unable to help but stutter, Rogo stared at Yang Yi with an extremely envious look: "You kid are not kind. You secretly fucked an actress and didn't tell me about it. Why, I'm worried that I'll tell you about this? Don't worry. Everyone, I might ask you to help keep some secrets in the future, and I will definitely not be so short-sighted. By the way, what kind of movies and TV shows did that Miss Chang play? How did you hook up together? I'll teach you my experience."

"Don't be so trivial?" Yang looked at the guy in front of him, and when he talked about the beautiful woman, he was full of eyes. There was no good way to deal with the other person, so he could only wave his hand and be too lazy to pay attention to the other person: "If you don't tell you this, wait a moment, the phone call comes, maybe it's Edward. Hello, don't grab the phone, it's really Edward called me. If you do it again, I'll call Sister Viaya..."

...

Just when two big bosses of Yangyi Culture were sitting on the balcony of Luo Pang's house. While enjoying the cool breeze in early May, Citigarten, which was far away on the other side of the ocean, started a new day at 8:30 in the morning. Edward, who was still staying at the headquarters of Random Bookstore Group and waiting for the company's internal system statistics on the sales department, was also anxiously waiting for the results.

The previous bet on Yang Yi is now time to see if it can be exchanged for enough rewards. If the sales performance of the Twilight book in the North American book market can be squeezed into the top 20 of the annual bestsellers rankings, then he might be able to further improve his position and position within the company because of his "sighted eyes" - the title of President of the Asian Copyright Affairs Department. Although it sounds very scary, in fact, it is the same as Rafathir, the marketing director of Bantam Group, said before. He is just a senior book agent.

It's even more unpleasant to say. It's the senior book exploring at Random House. After all, the structural division of labor between companies is different. Compared with the Minister of Copyright Affairs of Kotansawa Fujioka Satoshi. As long as Random House is responsible for contacting foreign writers, there is basically no large internal power within the company. In addition to having a certain right to express opinions on the works of foreign writers they are optimistic about, let alone the headquarters of Random House Group, even the seven sub-groups under their jurisdiction and the publishing branches in these sub-groups, it's not their turn to make trouble.

If others don’t say it, Sean, the general manager of Peacock Publishing Company, has more say than Edward in terms of specific affairs. Perhaps the former at the headquarters of Random House Group is unable to speak, but in the Bantam Group, Sean began to have a certain say. After arriving in Peacock Publishing Company, as long as he does not touch the bottom line of the group’s operating strategy, he has almost the same power within the company, unless the instructions to use the group’s resources need to be reported layer by layer.

Therefore, between him and Sean, there is no way to tell who values ​​this "Twilight" promotion. At least on the surface, both of them are extremely nervous about the first month sales statistics that are about to be released.

Five minutes later, after a series of statistics and calculations, the latest internal data was finally found on the computer screen of the marketing department staff. The number that was flashing at a high speed at a frequency that the human eye could not detect made Edward excited. After a brief surprise, he felt unbelievable. He immediately wiped his eyes hard and walked up to look at it again. At this time, the marketing department staff member in front of him also turned around and took Edward's small movements. He couldn't help but smile: "Congratulations, President Edward, the book "Twilight" you found is likely to reach this year's annual bestseller ranking. Of course, if it came to Citiland earlier, it would be more confident."
