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

In the absence of suitable commercial books to publish, Random House also made a cameo role in the translation of academic books and literature and periodicals into China. Of course, such as the overseas publishing of purely academic books, they are Don't care about profitability.

Moreover, the number of academic books that can be seen is very small, and it is often a team of three or five people who are responsible for it.

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 chasing dramas, which made him feel 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 the country. Many Random House staff found him along the way. They were very surprised and couldn't help but whisper to the colleague next to him.

"Hey~ why did you say Li Chungang came to us?"

"Damn! You don't even read the news, what else can you do? I think there are ten times when you regret rejecting Boss, so I came to us in person and asked Boss to re-publish his "Ghost Blowing Lamp". "

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

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

"That's not it."

The person who spoke first was embarrassed by his colleagues, so he had to go back to his desk to continue chasing the show, but he was so absent-minded that he couldn't help but want to look back at their boss Thompson's office from time to time, curious. what's going on inside...

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 open the door and said softly, "Mr. Thompson, these two gentlemen want to visit you. ." After speaking, he turned and returned to the front desk.

Thompson was specially dressed up today, a gray suit with a pure black tie. He was sitting behind his desk, not sure what he was doing, and when he saw the two who entered the door, he had a happy expression on his face and stood up to greet the two. man, stretched out his hand and said:

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

"Hello, Mr. Thompson." Li Chungang shook hands with Thompson with a smile, and joked, "I keep everything I promise you in my heart. I'm not afraid that you will be in a hurry."

"No, no, I'm not in a hurry, but looking forward to the work that Mr. Li strongly recommends. Come, sit down and talk slowly."

Foreigners have different opinions and preferences for office decoration and layout. Unlike Huachen and Dong Sicheng, who like to get a table and chair in their office specially for receiving guests, Thompson pointed to the two chairs in front of his desk. He motioned for the two to take their seats, while he returned to his desk and sat down again.

Knowing his own business, Thompson still admires Li Chungang personally, and is looking forward to the other party's truly amazing and impressive works, so he bluntly said, "Mr. Li, I don't know what you said the day before yesterday. Did you get the work? I didn't get 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.

After half an hour, if you focus on using your eyes for a long time, your eyes will inevitably feel sore, but the content in his hand is so wonderful that Thompson is completely immersed in it, and he has no thoughts of blinking or rubbing his eyes, and he is still reading the next chapter. content.

Time passed so quietly, and Li Chungang and Luo Wen were not anxious to disturb Thompson when they lowered their heads and played with their mobile phones. Publishing a manuscript for review is not a simple and quick thing. No publication value.

Impress yourself before impressing others!

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

After looking at it for 40 to 50 minutes, Thompson finally put down the manuscript in his hand reluctantly, and rubbed his sour eyeballs, which had become sour from using his eyes for a long time. At the same time, he also needed some time to savor what he just read. past content.

With an extreme lack of vocabulary, he didn't know how to describe the book he saw. He could only say that if the book was published, he would definitely take out his wallet without hesitation!

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

"The Lord of the Rings must be published!"

At this time, there was only such a firm thought left in Thompson's mind. He now finally understands why Li Chungang said the day before yesterday that this book is more suitable for publishing overseas. After reading it, you can find that it will be very suitable after translating many contents into English. English language.

I quickly flipped through the thickness and number of pages of the entire manuscript, and at least it was more than 100,000 words. So I thought that Li Chungang had already started preparing to enter the overseas publishing market before that. I was lucky enough to meet Li Chungang at this time.

Even without them Random House, there will be other overseas publishers to publish this "Lord of the Rings".

"Thank God!"

Thinking of this~www.readwn.com~ Thompson breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that God did not completely abandon him and sent such a rare opportunity to him. If this opportunity cannot be grasped well, then There is really no cure.

"I wonder 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+, and maybe even more than that." Like Penguin Random House, the world's first commercial publishing publisher, naturally has a unique set of published works. As for the evaluation system, Thompson, who has single-handedly contributed to many best-selling global masterpieces, dares to conclude that this S+ evaluation is 100% sure.

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

After a question and answer, both sides did not continue to speak for a while out of consideration, and the scene instantly became silent.

What's interesting now is that Li Chungang and Random House are interested in a relationship. Everyone wants to publish "The Lord of the Rings", but they choose to keep their mouths shut because they don't want to be disadvantaged in the next negotiations.

Whoever speaks first will be left behind!
