Chapter 204: No one can dig out the Night Hou (7400 votes plus update)
At the end of February.
Han Yueshuang won the first place on the season chart with the song "Listening to the Sea" written by Chu Ci.
This is Han Yueshuang’s first season championship since her debut!
But Lin Zhibai had no time to care about this matter.
March 1st.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Lin Zhibai took a car to Shinhwa Publishing House.
At the door of Shinhwa Publishing House, a group of well-dressed publishing house executives were waiting at the door.
"I'm coming!"
As a black car stopped steadily in front of the publishing house.
The driver ran down to help open the door, and Lin Zhibai got out of the car from the back seat.
“Hello, President!”
Dozens of senior executives of the publishing house bowed in unison, but their eyes flashed with horror. This new president is too young!
“I am Lin Zhibai.”
Lin Zhibai looked at the dozens of senior executives, smiled and said, "Would you like to introduce me?"
“I am Vice President Roda.”
Vice president Roda was about fifty years old this year, with a slightly bald forehead and a smile on his face. Lin Zhibai shook hands with him.
“I’m Editor-in-Chief Bailey.”
When Pele spoke, Lin Zhibai felt that he didn't look like he was a good football player, but he smiled and shook hands with him.
“Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ren Jiachun.”
"Hello."
Followed by are the editors-in-chief of each department.
Hong Kong Mythology Publishing House publishes all types of books.
However, the main profit comes from several popular market book types such as martial arts, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, history, and romance.
So.
The chief editors of these popular book genres have considerable power in the publishing house.
After shaking hands with the group of people one by one as the new president, Vice President Luo Da took Lin Zhibai upstairs.
The eighth floor is the high-rise conference room of the publishing house.
Lin Zhibai entered the conference room and sat directly on the boss's chair at the end of the table, followed by others.
“I’m new here, so I’m going to rely on your care for my future work.”
“Where where…”
Everyone was humbled for a while, and they were secretly trying to figure out the temper of the new president.
A meeting followed, mainly to let the new president, Lin Zhibai, understand the basic situation of the publishing house.
In fact, Lin Zhibai had already done his homework in advance, but he still acted like he was listening attentively. He could not let people think that he was a second-generation ancestor who was purely here for gold plating. Although he also knew that these people were polite on the surface, but they may not have much in their hearts. Respect yourself.
The first meeting of the publishing house attended by the new president ended with everyone having their own agenda.
When the meeting is over.
Lin Zhibai suddenly said: "The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department is staying."
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the vice president Roda.
Rhoda's face flashed with a hint of amusement, but she reprimanded: "Look what I do..."
The editor-in-chief of the Reasoning Department stayed in the conference room aggrievedly.
Lin Zhibai looked at Roda's back, showed a smile, and pointed out:
“The relationship between Editor-in-Chief Wang and the Vice President is very good.”
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department is called Wang Zi, but it seems that Lin Zhibai is the real "mythical prince".
Wang Zi naturally heard the implication of Lin Zhibai's words and quickly explained: "Because you have been President Luo's boss before you joined the job..."
“Vice President Luo.” Lin Zhibai raised his voice slightly.
Wang Zi broke into a cold sweat, "Yes, yes, sorry, it should be Vice President Luo. The position of President has been vacant for more than three months..."
The position of president of Shinhwa Publishing House has been vacant for more than three months.
Lin Zhibai’s eyes flashed, making people doubt the old man’s motives.
He looked at Wang Zi, "The Mystery Department of Shinhwa Publishing House has seen a sharp decline in performance recently. Although I have just arrived, I know that mystery is a very important category and the audience in the novel circle is very large, so I want to talk to you. …”
“President, the main reason is that we were poached by Nathan, a leading mystery writer.”
Speaking of this matter, Wang Zi was a little helpless. The appeal of top writers is too strong, so major publishing houses are competing fiercely.
“Nathan?”
Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "As far as I know, Nathan also has a very good writer named Hou Yehou."
"Yes."
As the editor-in-chief of the Mystery Department, Wang Zi is of course familiar with all the famous writers. "Biyehou and Nathan have a very deep cooperative relationship. They collaborated with Nason Publishing House's "Mystery and Suspense" just after they debuted. However, the career of "Biyehou" The focus is now on the field of screenwriting. Although it has good market appeal in the novel circle, it currently does not pose a big threat to us..."
“You said it too.”
Lin Zhibai said: "Biyehou has good market appeal. If he returns to the novel circle and releases a new book, it should be able to help Nathan gain a lot of sales, right?"
Wang Zi nodded.
Lin Zhibai knocked on the table, "Can the main style of Hou Yehou's works be classified as mystery and suspense?"
Wang Zi said: “It’s quite complicated, but it’s really mainly reasoning and suspense.”
Many novels have no clear genre restrictions.
For example, "Secret" released before by Evernight Hou mainly tells a story about ethics.
However, there is nothing wrong with putting it in the mystery and suspense category, so Nathan finally placed "Secret" under the mystery and suspense department.
Including the previous life, "Secret" won the Mystery Writers Association Award for this book.
is.
Bi Yehou gives people the impression that he is a writer who is good at writing mystery and suspense themes and has a relatively dark style of writing.
The probability of White Night Hou appearing is relatively small.
Wang Zi said with a sad face: "Not to mention whether Bu Yehou is willing to continue to develop in the novel circle, even if he continues to write novels, he will definitely choose to cooperate with Nathan first. It's not that I haven't tried to poach Bu Yehou, but no Yehou has never talked to me, I feel that Yehou..."
Lin Zhibai sneered in his heart.
He naturally knew that Shinhwa Publishing House had poached Bu Yehou, and in fact Tianguang Publishing House had also poached him, but Lin Zhibai was too lazy to bother and ignored him.
But it’s different now.
Lin Zhibai said coldly: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I think if you hire Hou Yehou, the performance of your reasoning department can be improved!"
"I can't do it...it's not like we haven't tried it before, and we even added money!"
“Heh, Nathan can poach our people, but you can’t poach theirs. How can you be the editor-in-chief of the reasoning department?”
Lin Zhibai directly attacked.
Hum.
Ever flirting with Rhoda in front of me?
Think I don’t know that Roda was supported by her uncle?
One of these chief editors counts, and Lin Zhibai wants them to know who is the boss of Shinhwa Publishing House.
With these editors in chief, Roda and his like will be easy to deal with.
Lin Zhibai, a capable man, wanted to recruit them by himself, but he had to clear out the **** uncles.
“Then I’ll try again…”
“It’s not about trying, it’s about succeeding.”
Lin Zhibai waved his hand and drove Wang Zi out.
Wang Zi left dejectedly. People say that when a new official takes office, there are three fires. How come the first fire is on his own head?
After Wang Zi left.
Lin Zhibai made a phone call.
“If Shinhwa Publishing House wants to poach Bu Yehou, don’t pay attention.”
"uh-huh?"
Jiang Cheng instantly understood what Lin Zhibai meant, "You want to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with people? Then do I still need to send the novel "Malevolence" to Nathan? They have been urging me to finish it."
Biyehou’s current market appeal is terrifying!
Mainly because Bu Yehou’s identity as a screenwriter is so dazzling!
There was "Horse" before!
After that there is "Conquest"!
These two dramas are super hits, so if there is a new book released in the future, the popularity will be very explosive!
Book fans will buy it.
Many fans of the drama who like Nightmare will also buy it.
You can make your debut through novels and screenwriting. This is an advantage that no other writer has.
Lin Zhibai said: "Don't give "Malevolence" to Nathan. I plan to publish this novel at Shinhwa Publishing House."
Wang Zi will definitely not be able to dig out Hou Yehou.
It doesn't matter.
Lin Zhibai will "take action personally" when the time comes.
…
“Let you dig till the end of the night?”
Rhoda couldn't help but feel happy after listening to Wang Zi's report, "Who does this kid think he is? He said he can dig it out without leaving the night?"
Which company in the publishing industry doesn’t want to cooperate with Bu Yehou?
No idea.
Both Shinhwa Publishing House and Tianguang Publishing House wanted to poach Bu Yehou, and the offer was definitely not low, but they didn’t see Bu Yehou leaving Nathan.
Obviously.
Nathan also knows how to take good care of the Lord of the Night.
“But if I can’t do it…”
“Don’t worry, I will speak for you. If you can’t recruit Bu Yehou, can he still remove you from your position?”
Rhoda sneered.
“Of course I’m not worried about this, but Vice President Luo…”
“Deputy?”
Roda suddenly became sensitive.
Wang Zi was about to cry, "President Luo... help me, or do you personally take action, talk to Kunpeng, and poach the Nightless Marquis?"
"I'll try, but don't get your hopes up."
Roda patted Wang Zi on the shoulder, "This new president is just a layman who doesn't know anything. If he can't do this, I can withstand his pressure."
“Thank you, Vice President Luo…President Luo.”
"Um."
When Wang Zi left, Luo Da's eyes flashed and she made a phone call, "Contact Kunpeng and ask Hou Yehou what conditions are required before he is willing to cooperate with our Mythology Publishing House."
Hour of Night is indeed a good card.
Whoever can poach Wu Yehou will have a great rise in prestige in the Shinhwa Publishing House. This guy has no foundation in the publishing house, and he has every hope of outshining the other party!
The top is through the bottom.
This is just an exam.
When the time comes for handing in papers, if this kid can’t get good grades, he will have to leave. By then, the position of president will definitely still be his!
…
That evening.
Roda got a call.
The person on the other end of the phone sighed: "Bi Yehou and Nathan have a close cooperation and are unwilling to come to Shinhwa Publishing House..."
"never mind."
Rhoda originally just tried and if he couldn't dig him out, forget it. "I just need to make sure that no one can dig him out."
“Don’t worry about this.”
There was laughter on the other end of the phone, and he said with assurance: "No one can dig out the Evernight Hou!"
