Chapter 37 Digging the Foot of the Wall
"Brother Ouyang, don't think about it yet, let's go to dinner, I'll give you the book I wrote first, and then make a decision after you read it, can you see it?" , Seeing that Ouyang Zhenhua's brows were very deep, Chen Kangjie also knew that it was not appropriate for people to make a decision in just a few words, so it was better to wait until he had read the book. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
"Okay, let's go dinner, come here, you have to have a treat, haha", Ouyang Zhenhua really couldn't make a decision for a while, so he happened to ride a donkey downhill.
"Mountains and seas, I think you've eaten them all, I'll take you to eat our snacks here today, how about it?" , Since he has a treat, Chen Kangjie is not unable to pay for a big meal, but he seems not close enough, since he wants to pull people to work for him, he naturally wants to be more friendly, and it is suitable to invite others to eat snacks from his hometown.
"That's good, the guest is as you like, I've been here a few times, and I really haven't tasted the delicious snacks here," Ouyang Zhenhua said with a smile.
In the 80s and 90s, the pans were sold on the sidewalks, a bit like the food stalls in Hong Kong or Guangzhou, until the end of the 20th century, with the improvement of consumption levels and consumers' pursuit of a hygienic environment. So Ouyang Zhenhua didn't feel uncomfortable, and he often went to consume food stalls.
The pot is a unique snack in Qianzhou, a small coal stove, a casserole is placed on it, the casserole has two kinds of flat bottom and protruding, Chen Kangjie asked for a convex one, which has the advantage that it is not easy to be splashed by oil. Pour some rapeseed oil on the casserole, put the food you want to eat on the casserole, cook, dip the prepared dipping water or chili powder and eat. Whether the pan is delicious or not, a key is whether the dipping water or chili powder is done well. Chen Kangjie likes to eat this very much, and he has to eat it with a few good ones every three or five days during the holidays.
Chen Kangjie asked Ouyang Zhenhua to order something, and Ouyang Zhenhua was not familiar with it, so Chen Kangjie handled it with full authority. Chen Kangjie ordered potatoes, stinky tofu, white tofu, beef, cold skin and a few other things. The two just chatted while eating, maybe Ouyang Zhenhua's Mandarin was not very standard, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law had to look at this handsome guy in a suit and leather shoes wearing gold wire glasses when they passed by. At this time, Yuepu (Mandarin for people in Cantonese-speaking areas) was only seen on TV, and now there is such a handsome guy who speaks Yuepu around him, so naturally the return rate will be relatively high.
After eating, Chen Kangjie gave the English version of the first volume of "Twilight" to Ouyang Zhenhua, and asked him to read it slowly in the hotel, and then we will continue to talk tomorrow after reading it.
Chen Kangjie believes that Ouyang Zhenhua can understand, anyway, he heard that almost all white-collar workers in Hong Kong have good English.
Of course, Ouyang Zhenhua thought that Chen Kangjie wrote a Chinese book, who knew that it was a manuscript of an English novel, and before he was surprised, Chen Kangjie turned around and left, and all the questions could only be asked slowly tomorrow after reading the novel.
The next afternoon, Chen Kangjie came to the State Guest House to find Ouyang Zhenhua.
"Xiaojie, is this a novel you wrote?" As soon as Chen Kangjie entered the door, Ouyang Zhenhua eagerly took Chen Kangjie's hand and asked. It can be seen that Ouyang Zhenhua is very excited, and he probably hasn't slept all night looking at the circles under his eyes.
"yes, what's wrong? Do you think it's poorly written? Chen Kangjie replied lazily.
"No, no, it's so well written, the storyline is fascinating, the language is subtle, what about the second volume, did you bring it? Hurry up and give it to me", Ouyang Zhenhua thought that Chen Kangjie misunderstood that he didn't look down on his novels, and quickly denied it. I want to ask for the next chapters right away.,It seems that I'm really attracted.γ
"Brother Ouyang, I will slowly show you all the next three volumes, look at your anxious appearance, this novel took me two years to write" Chen Kangjie replied to Ouyang Zhenhua slowly.
"Two years? Wasn't you six years old when you wrote it? Why are you so good at English? Oh my God, I thought you were just good at writing songs. Ouyang Zhenhua was indeed stunned, he hadn't thought about the author's age before, but now that he thinks about it, a genius is a genius.
"Yes, it started at the age of six, English, self-taught, genius, there are always differences, otherwise how can you call a genius", Chen Kangjie was very proud, and said in a drag.
"That's too, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a genius"
"Brother Ouyang, don't continue to praise me, otherwise I will be proud, in your eyes, can this novel be published?" , has been praised a lot, Chen Kangjie is also numb, let's hurry up and talk about business.
"Yes, it can be published, but you write it in English, and the story is more suitable for Western tastes," Ouyang Zhenhua said.
"I originally wrote for Westerners, to make money, of course, to earn dollars or pounds, that is the energy, besides, I also wrote the Chinese version, ready to publish", Chen Kangjie said the original intention of writing, and also told sΓΉ Ouyang Zhenhua himself not only wrote the English version, but also wrote the Chinese version.
Listening to Chen Kangjie and the Chinese version, he hesitated, and seemed to make some important decision immediately.
"Xiaojie, I plan to accept to be your agent, the treatment, I don't want a million annual salary, I have confidence in you, I will take five percent of the income." Ouyang Zhenhua finally made the decision that Chen Kangjie expected.
Chen Kangjie had long expected that Ouyang Zhenhua would make such a choice after reading the book, the first is Chen Kangjie's confidence in himself, and the second is that he feels that Ouyang Zhenhua is not a short-sighted person, otherwise he would not invite Ouyang Zhenhua to be his agent. has been together for almost two years, according to Chen Kangjie's vision of doing sales for many years before his rebirth, Ouyang Zhenhua is actually a good manager, careful, active, with a good education, a long-term vision, and a trustworthy character, and the key thing is that Ouyang Zhenhua never talked to him as Chen Kangjie is a child, he has the attitude of an adult and an adult, so Chen Kangjie chose him.
The two talked in the hotel room until the evening, and Chen Kangjie asked Ouyang Zhenhua to find a publisher that has channels in the United States and Europe, especially in the United States, Chen Kangjie remembers that this "Twilight" sold 50 million copies in the United States, which is the largest market. After the talk, Ouyang Zhenhua rushed back to Hong Kong, he had to deal with the matter on the Rolling Stone side first, and by the way, look for a suitable publisher in Hong Kong. If the Rolling Stones thought of sending the manager who wanted to persuade Chen Kangjie to turn around, Chen Kangjie dug up the wall, and I don't know what would happen.
After Ouyang Zhenhua arrived in Hong Kong, he quickly submitted his resignation to Rolling Stone, the reason was that he did not directly say that Chen Kangjie asked him to be an agent, and the first condition was to keep the author confidential, and Chen Kangjie did not want to attract too much attention from the outside world.
Considering that he may cooperate with Rolling Stone in the future, Ouyang Zhenhua used a "poor health and want to rest for a while" as an excuse for resignation, and after Rolling Stone repeatedly tried to keep him to no avail, he agreed to his resignation and promised to come back at any time in the future. For this reason, Ouyang Zhenhua also reflected to Rolling Stone that Chen Kangjie didn't want to continue selling songs, but he wouldn't write songs for other companies, and Ouyang Zhenhua also hinted to Rolling Stone that Chen Kangjie might come up with a record in the future, if that was the case, he would try his best to pull Chen Kangjie to Rolling Stone. This is also a return for the kindness of the Rolling Stones.
After dealing with the matter of Rolling Stone Records, Ouyang Zhenhua asked friends everywhere to ask publishers with American and European channels, and finally under the introduction of friends, he found a publishing house called "Huashang Publishing Culture Co., Ltd.", although their company is not very large, but it has a long history of practice, more than 30 years, and the United States, Britain and many other institutions have long-term cooperative relations.
Ouyang Zhenhua met Li Wendong, the general manager of Huashang Publishing Culture Co., Ltd., and after greetings, Ouyang Zhenhua took out the first volume of "Twilight" and handed it to Li Wendong.
