Chapter 38 Publication of "The Twilight Zone"

"Mr. Ouyang, this novel you wrote is so wonderful, there should be a later part, right?", Li Wendong reacted that there were still guests afterward, and expressed his faux pas a little embarrassed, and then cared about the book.

"Mr. Li, you misunderstood, this book was not written by me, it was written by my client, I am his agent, authorized to handle publishing matters with full authority, and what you have in your hand is only the first volume, and there are three more volumes behind", Ouyang Zhenhua was naturally very happy to see that this book was so attractive to this industry insider, and after waving his hand to say that it didn't matter, he began to introduce the book and his role.

"Oh, which writer wrote this book, can you tell me? I'm very interested", Li Wendong, as a veteran in the industry, should also be interested in writers who can write such books, that is a resource, and it is a compulsory course for them to know more powerful writers.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's not convenient for the author of this book to meet now, so he entrusted it to me, I don't know what Mr. Li thinks of the publication of this book?", Ouyang Zhenhua knew that he had been misunderstood, so he quickly explained it clearly, and inquired about Li Wendong's thoughts and wishes.

"This book is a rare good book this year, but it is in English, and the storyline is also suitable for Western tastes, and we happen to have channels for this, so if we can, we want to publish this book", Li Wendong wanted to take a look, and really didn't want to let go of this book, which should sell a lot of money, so he praised the book for being good, and also said that there are not many companies in Hong Kong that can publish to the Western world, highlighting their own advantages, so as to negotiate and lower the price in the future.

"The author also said that this book is very suitable for Western tastes, but the author also wrote a Chinese version, so if it is published, it can be published in Chinese and English", Ouyang Zhenhua is also in the shopping mall, where does not know Li Wendong's tricks, so he pointed out that he not only knows the target market, but is also prepared for the local market.

Li Wendong hesitated for a moment and said, "We are interested in publication, but I have to meet the author, and everything else is easy to discuss." Li Wendong still did not give up on the author.

There are indeed not many powerful publishing companies in Hong Kong that can publish to the West, and Ouyang Zhenhua can't call the shots of Li Wendong's request, so he called Chen Kangjie.

Chen Kangjie thought about it for a while, Li Wendong's request was also reasonable, the publishing company had never even seen the author, which really didn't respect the other party. I agreed to come down, but if I want to practice martial arts, I can't leave, and I can only see Ouyang Zhenhua and Li Wendong coming to Qianzhou.

After getting Chen Kangjie's consent, Ouyang Zhenhua said to Li Wendong, "The author is not in Hong Kong, but in the mainland, and he is an eight-year-old primary school student, if you want to see him, I can only accompany you to the mainland."

"Ahhh

Ouyang Zhenhua could only nod with a wry smile, no matter who it was, he would be very surprised, Ouyang Zhenhua had already felt it.

After getting a positive answer, Li Wendong sat down in a daze, now he was more interested in this genius, not to mention in the mainland, he had to meet him in the sky, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

"Since Mr. Li agreed to meet the author with me, there are some things you will know in the future, and I can tell you some of this, that is, "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", "Do You Know I'm Waiting for You", "About Winter" and other songwriters who entered the platinum album are also this one, but you have to keep this secret", Ouyang Zhenhua added, since the cooperation, Li Wendong will know these things in the future, it is better to sell his personal favor first.

Li Wendong listened to Ouyang Zhenhua say Chen Kangjie's "great achievements", and his face was stunned for a while, it seems that he really met a genius and picked up a treasure, and he can't wait to set off to the mainland to meet this genius now.

"Mr. Li, hello, welcome to Qianzhou", just met at the State Guest House. Chen Kangjie smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Wendong to say hello.

"Hello, Chen...... Mr. Chen", when he saw the person in front of him, he was very calm and very angry, but he could still see some childishness on his face, which made Li Wendong a little nervous, and he didn't know what to call it. Zui He is still the same as Ouyang Zhenhua, treating Chen Kangjie as an adult.

"Mr. Li, you can call me Xiaojie, Chen Kangjie, I'm really sorry to ask you to come all the way", Chen Kangjie looked polite and polite, but also lost the general's bearing.

"Okay, I'll call you Xiaojie, hehe, Xiaojie, I'm very interested in your "Twilight", and we also have this strength, so I came this time, in addition to meeting you, a genius, just to finalize the publication of this book", Li Wendong is also an old man, and soon entered the role, concisely stating his intentions and goals.

"Mr. Li is willing to help me publish, I naturally can't ask for it, but I don't know how Mr. Li plans to arrange it in specific matters", Chen Kangjie is still so unhurried and unhurried, so steady that he can't stand it, and kicks the ball to the other party with a word, and he waits to see the order.

"In terms of editions, it can be published in Chinese and English at the same time, and in terms of channels, we can cooperate with the Rahim Book Chain Company in the United States and the Lawrence Books Audio-Visual Chain Company in the United Kingdom, they have good channel resources in North America and Europe, and in Southeast Asia, we are responsible for our own Chinese business company, and we have ready-made channels, Japan and South Korea, and we can authorize publishing. For the first batch, one million copies could be printed first. As for the question of royalties, our company can give you a dollar per book. If our company does its best, we will be able to launch globally within a month. I don't know what other opinions Xiaojie has."

It can be seen that Li Wendong made considerable preparations before the meeting, so he said almost everything that Chen Kangjie cared about at once.

Chen Kangjie thought for a while and felt that there were no major aspects that needed to be modified, but he still added.

"I have three requirements, the first is that the author should use the name K.J.CHEN when publishing, the second is to keep it confidential and not let the fourth person know that I am the author, and the third is that you can find publishers in the mainland to cooperate, and I can do without manuscript fees for the mainland market," Chen Kangjie said about the two aspects he was concerned about, taking into account the economic situation in the mainland, he also waived this part of the fee in order to reduce the price.

Although Li Wendong was unwilling to build Chen Kangjie, he could only agree. He actually wants to hype up an eight-year-old little writer, which will sell better, but Chen Kangjie has proposed it himself, and he can only protect the ** of minors.

After Ouyang Zhenhua took out the prepared agreement and signed it, he and Li Wendong returned to Hong Kong to work on the publishing matter. Chen Kangjie also happened to be the shopkeeper and continued his next novel.

The efficiency of Huashang Publishing Culture Co., Ltd. is really high, and it should be Li Wendong who figured out that Guò's book further opened up the Western market, so he worked very hard, and in exactly a month, "Twilight" was released worldwide. The first batch of 1 million copies were sold out in three days, and the Chinese Commercial Company hurriedly printed 3 million copies, but it was still not enough to sell, and the booksellers urged them to buy the goods within a week. In the end, it was reprinted eight times in a row, which may be the reason for the simultaneous global launch, or it may be the reason for the mysterious author and the increased publicity of the Chinese Commercial Publishing Company, which sold 51 million copies in just four months. Seeing this astonishing number, Li Wendong and Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't keep their mouths together, they didn't expect it to sell so well, they thought they could only sell five million copies, but it turned out to be ten times more in half a year, and the sales are still growing.
