144 Hype!

"Why, aren't you here at our Oak Company just to let our company publish your book? Now I have agreed, why should I refuse?" Martin Black said anxiously.

"It was, but it wasn't the case after seeing you. I don't like to work with someone who disrespects others." Chen Dong said.

The middle-aged man who was stealing/love in the bathroom was the blond receptionist lady, "Our manager is very busy, please notify you when our manager has time." The man in front of him, Martin Black.

The receptionist's unreasonableness, impatientness, and Martin's arrogance directly for more than half an hour, saying that he was going to publish the book, and his tone seemed to give up his cooperation with Oak.

At the beginning, the receptionist's unreasonable and impatient. To be honest, although he was very angry, he did not turn around and leave directly until he saw that Martin was the middle-aged man who had an affair in the bathroom and Martin's arrogance, and his expression of giving, Chen Dong directly gave up his plan to cooperate with Oak Publishing Company.

"Mr. Chen, do you really not think about it anymore? Perhaps in the UK, only Oak Publishing Company is willing to publish your book, and in the UK, there is no publishing company that is willing to publish an author without any famous one, and the author is from…..."

Chen Dong directly interrupted Martin Black and said, "No need to think about it. If there is no publishing company publishing, I will spend money to buy a company to publish it myself."

"That's a pity." Martin Black said.

Chen Dong left Oak Publishing House and went straight back to the castle.

"How is the talk?" Chen Ying brought a glass of water to Chen Dong and said to Chen Dong with concern.

"I had expected it because of the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. A Chinese person has no reputation in the publishing industry. It is too difficult to publish a book when he goes to the West. Some publishers directly refused when they heard that I was a Chinese and didn't even meet each other. Some publishers met. However, they casually flipped through the manuscript and used various general reasons such as 'the sentences were too long', 'this book is not suitable for publishing', 'this book is boring', and there was a publishing house called Oak Publishing House that was willing to publish my book." Chen Dong said.

"Why didn't the negotiation be done again?" Chen Ying asked in confusion.

"The receptionist's unreasonable, impatient, and arrogant manager, first forgive me for more than half an hour. Later, after reading the manuscript of "Harry Potter", I was willing to publish the tone and face of the alms. I directly refused to cooperate, and I saw through it. I didn't plan to find a publisher to publish it, and I acquired a publisher and published it myself."

"Then isn't our plan to travel to the United States just soup?" Chen Ying said.

Chen Dong said helplessly, "Yes, next time I take you to the United States for a good trip, don't you want to ride a horse to grazing? Then we will buy a small ranch there."

"OK."

It is easy to do things with money. Next, Chen Dong directly and wholly acquired a medium-sized publishing house with the help of the Bank of England.

Add various handling fees. It cost 170,000 euros.

The publisher's name is Haberi Publishing House. Chen Dong felt that this name was quite good and directly followed the original name.

After some rectification, the publisher kicked out the incompetent manager and appointed a capable and experienced deputy manager of the publisher, Tom Radcliff, who was a manager, and promised that all employees of the company would increase their salary by 20%. Of course, there would be rewards and punishments. In the past, employees who did not work hard and were not very active in their work had a correction period of one month. If this is still the case, they would face dismissal directly.

Under Chen Dong's drastic reform, the company changed the previous scattered and unproactive atmosphere. The mental outlook of the publishing house employees became active and worked very hard. Of course, the working status of employees is only temporary. These people are encouraged by Chen Dong's promise to increase the salary of employees by 20%, and are encouraged by the risk of dismissal. If employees truly have a sense of identity with the company, they can only make achievements in the future and make employees feel that the company has a future. Otherwise, employees will still return to their previous mental state, be casual, not active in their work, and just live by.

The first Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the second Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were handed over to Harbery Press for publication.

A novel that a publisher is willing to publish. The author of the novel, a Chinese, actually acquired a publisher in order to publish the book. Of course, the jokes and strange stories spread throughout the UK in a few days.

"The Chinese are so rich that in order to publish a book that has not been published well, they actually spent a huge amount of money to acquire a publishing house for publication." Someone laughed.

"Can a Chinese write novels that suit the tastes of Westerners? If it were the editor of my publishing house, I would not be optimistic about this book. In my image, Chinese martial arts, fairy tales, zombies and ghosts are very famous. Writing magic is the specialty of Westerners."

"This Chinese is too prodigal. He bought a publishing house for 1.7 million euros to publish his unpopular novel and made him famous. However, his idea was very good, and he wanted to become famous now. He has become famous. He is already famous, not the fame of a novelist, but the fame of a prodigal son."

....

Although he was ridiculed by all kinds of people and misunderstandings, the reputation of "Harry Potter" has emerged.

Although most people believe that as mentioned, Harry Potter is a bad book that many people may not buy, but people are curious. In the end, some people will buy one to see if it is as bad as some people say and not worth reading.

If you are afraid that you don’t pay attention to anything, you will become popular if you pay attention, whether it is a bad reputation or a good reputation.

For example, the husband, sister Rong, sister Feng, sister, sister, and sister, such a bad person, can be popular. It can be said that if you pay attention, you can become popular.

"Harry Potter" can be said to be popular, but it has become popular before it has been released.

The book "Harry Potter" has attracted many attention, and many people think it is a bad book. Chen Dong didn't say anything to argue, and he couldn't reverse it for a while.

However, Chen Dong was confident that after the release of "Harry Potter", all those who questioned and criticized the book would shut up and speak with facts. It was not that little guy who said it was a bad book, but it was a bad book, or a bad book, and it was a good book.

The more they are, the more popular they are, the more popular they are. These people have indirectly helped Chen Dong a lot. If this hadn't happened, there wouldn't be many people following "Harry Potter" so far, so how could so many people have followed it?

"Poss, there are many people in the newspapers and the Internet questioning and criticizing Harry Potter." said Tom Radcliff, the new general manager of Harbery Publishing Company, worriedly.

Tom was originally the deputy manager of this publishing house. The former manager was a relative of the previous boss. He did not do practical things, but he liked to point fingers. After Chen Dong bought the Habery Publishing Company, he fired the original manager and assigned Tom, who had more than ten years of experience in the publishing industry, who was capable, Radcliffe, as the manager, managing all the company's affairs.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is a good thing. Bad books are not evaluated by them, but by readers. Letting them scold them can increase the attention of Harry Potter. What's wrong with being temporarily scolded for success or failure. After Harry Potter is released, sales results will be used to respond to the criticism of Harry Potter. At that time, they will naturally calm down. However, we cannot do nothing, and we cannot let them calm down. hiring people to scold them. The purpose is to arouse this topic and increase the attention of Harry Potter."

"Okay, Boss, I will work hard, and then respond to those people with sales results." Tom nodded.

The next day, there were different voices among the one-sided doubts.

"In fact, this Chinese is not as unbearable as everyone imagines. The "prodigal son" spent 1700 yuan to acquire a publishing company just to publish a book of his.

Although he is not famous in the UK, he is an extremely famous author in the mainland Chinese publishing industry. He has published two novels, "Things of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of the Great Powers". The sales volume of the previous book exceeded 2 million copies in the second half of last year, reaching 2.12 million copies, and ranked first in the 2014 book sales ranking. So far, it has accumulated 370 million+ copies. His second novel "The Rise of the Great Powers" has sold more than 3.2 million copies. If not unexpectedly, he will definitely be the first in the 2015 annual book sales ranking. Is it really as unbearable as you said? "Prodigal son" and a bad book."

It is obvious that this person is Tom, Radcliffe, who spent money to hype up the topic, and only then can he get attention.

Soon, someone responded again.

Although the book "The Rise of a Great Power" has not been published in Europe, I have exactly three, Portugal, Spanish, and Dutch. The story has a strong surname and a wonderful plot. It tells the historical stories of several world-famous powers that have risen from Portugal in the Age of Discovery. It is very interesting. Unfortunately, the fourth part and the British chapter will be released in July. It is strongly requested that Chen Dong release "The Rise of a Great Power" in Europe to avoid those who do not know the truth and make a very talented person a prodigal son and a bad book."

This is really not something Tom paid for. It may be a hardcore book fan of the book "The Rise of a Great Power".

....

Seeing these news, many people didn't believe it at first and sent someone to investigate Chen Dong.

Chen Dong’s affairs were easy to investigate, and they were exposed by the media.

Soon, when I saw the publisher who wrote all the information of Chen Dong, I was shocked and regretted it very much. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
