Chapter 113 Operations
David looked at Jiang Yang behind him, "Who is this? More handsome than Brother Zheng. Uncle Wang is your relative."
“What look.”
Uncle Wang took Jiang Yang in. This room was a studio. There were a lot of carpentry stuff and carpentry gadgets. A senior father was sitting on a stool, holding a sponge sand block in his hand, polishing a piece of wood. The curved surface of a round object.
The old man raised his head and glanced at him, "You old man is in need of a birdcage again?"
Uncle Wang asked him to quickly bring tea and water, "Zhang Zhen! I've brought business for you."
This name—
The Yin energy is very strong!
Jiang Yang looked around and actually saw Uncle Zhang making a miniature wooden model of the Forbidden City. It was lifelike and full of details.
Uncle Wang reassured him, "Lao Zhang still has his own skills."
Jiang Yang felt confident and told Mr. Zhang that he wanted to build a train, a steam-type train that provided luxury services. "Do you know about the Orient Express?"
He planned to make this first and give Sister Ning a gift.
Sister Ning often felt confused when watching "Murder on the Orient Express" due to the lack of scenes.
Mr. Zhang can do it, but his son is selling mutton skewers, so there’s nothing he can’t do. Moreover, the uncle is also a very energetic person. He saw that making miniature models on the Internet was very popular, so he started studying it himself.
Jiang Yang and Uncle Zhang communicated.
While they were talking, David came in with meat skewers and asked them to taste how they were grilled. Uncle Wang and Jiang Yang tasted it and found it was a bit too old and a bit salty. David went out to continue roasting, and soon brought in a few more skewers.
There is progress this time.
The most important thing is that the mutton is delicious. Jiang Yang thinks the mutton is particularly fragrant.
David became happy and said, "That's right, I got this meat from a mutton-shabu restaurant."
He went out to improve himself.
Zhang Zhen looked at his son and sighed.
Uncle Wang also muttered, "Your son learned dance, came out to do cross talk, and now sells skewers. Can't you stop him? This is all your fault as a father. Look at me, Wang Zheng wanted to be a kid when he was a child. Scientist, I forced him to sing, look now."
“I didn’t stop him, I went to be an actor.” Jiang Yang added for him.
Zhang Zhen laughed heartily.
After laughing, Zhang Zhen wanted to say that his son's business start-up was not a cross talk, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it. It was all filled with bitter tears.
They communicated again.
Jiang Yang used paper to draw the general layout of the train, and also hoped that the uncle would make the carriages and compartments into removable doors.
Mr. Zhang was very surprised, "This wooden model of yours is quite interesting."
Jiang Yang said that there are quite a lot of details and the model could be slightly larger.
Zhang Zhen waved his hand.
Many of the props for the Peking Opera Troupe were made by him. He has been playing with these things for many years and there is no problem.
Jiang Yang had almost finished communicating with Zhang Zhen, and had almost eaten. He wasn't full, just not worth going to a restaurant.
Let’s leave it to later.
Uncle Wang saved a lot of money on the mutton-boiled meal.
Jiang Yang was thinking about cooking for his wife, so he decided to go back and have something to eat together, so he paid the deposit and left first. Uncle Wang stayed there and chatted with Uncle Zhang, and David Zhang looked at the deposit money on his phone for a while. , asked Uncle Wang, "Who is this little brother?"
Uncle Wang said: "I live in the same community as me. He is a nice person."

Liu Tao read it at noon.
After reading, he placed the manuscript firmly on the table and held it down with a paperweight, fearing that any one of them would be lost. Then he lay weakly on the recliner, looking out of the glass room and playing around Houhai. All kinds of passers-by.
Sister Chen did not lie to him.
This is indeed a mystery novel that amazed him.
Sister Chen lied to him again, and being amazed could no longer express his evaluation of this novel, because he found that he liked this novel, the detective Poirot, and the author's writing style.
The first thing he thought of was leisurely, with neither **** scenes nor disturbing plots.
The book tells the story in a eloquent way, without any contrivance for the sake of twisting or blinding the readers. It seems plain, but in the end it is unexpected and reasonable, and it plays tricks on the readers, leaving them impressed. , there are no other ideas, so that reasoning enthusiasts can wander in it, carefree, and enjoy the leisurely reasoning process. This experience is great.
He does not want to compare this book with the current mainstream mystery novels represented by island country reasoning. He just wanted to compare it with the "Sherlock Holmes" series of mystery novels, the pinnacle of the mystery world.
If Sherlock Holmes is the detective in detective novels, then Poirot in "Murder on the Orient Express" is the detective in mystery novels.
For mystery lovers, Sherlock Holmes is of course a grandfather-like existence that makes people look up to him, but someone like Polo really makes people experience the fun of reasoning in mystery novels. In particular, the secret room group murder scheme pioneered by "Murder on the Orient Express" is so fast and the reasoning experience is great. This is true for martial arts, it is possible to establish a sect in front of the Shaolin Temple!
Suddenly, Liu Tao sat up straight.
He has to publish this book.
He grabbed the car keys and went to arrest Sister Chen, and went straight to the company.
Sister Chen played a trick on him yesterday, and she felt a little guilty when they met, but when it came to talking about work, she was no longer sleepy.
As a member of the Great Demon King, Sister Chen, in fairness and impartiality, Liu Tao is indeed the best publisher in the publishing of mystery novels.
In China, an independent publisher is actually a planner, because the book number still has to cooperate with the state-owned publishing house, but outside of this, all editing, proofreading, design, binding, printing, distribution, marketing, etc. have independent publishers Planned and completed.
Compared with large publishing houses, independent publishers have the advantage of being keen on the best-seller market and focusing on a single category. Liu Tao has rich planning experience in mystery novels, and there are even mystery fans who pursue the books he planned.
More importantly, Liu Tao can not only package and operate books, but also package and operate authors.
This is awesome.
Sister Chen promised him: "Let me ask you."
She called Li Qingning and the call was quickly connected.
Li Qingning over there has just finished his work. He is very proud of his work. When he is proud, he wants to eat meat. He is eating steak at Long Mansion.
Sister Chen checked the time and took Liu Tao over to talk.
Fifteen minutes later.
At Long Mansion, Liu Tao met the legendary Demon King.
Then he realized that it is said that a hundred hearings are worth one sight. In fact, sometimes a hundred views on TV are not as good as one sight.
The big devil is wearing a long skirt with a light green suit on top, with long hair shawl, and zigzag earrings on both ears. He is elegant, majestic, intellectual, and most importantly, confident, but because of his confidence, he feels like he does not dare to climb high. , for fear of showing cowardice.
There is a difference between this and being aloof.
She sat there eating steak with great interest.
They had finished their meal, and Sister Chen ordered a drink.
Sister Chen asked: “Where is Jiangyang?”
“I went out to play with the uncle.”
Sister Chen was taken aback and said, "Your husband is quite unique."
Li Qingning raised his eyebrows helplessly, put down his knife and fork, wiped the corners of his lips, and invited them to drink.
Liu Tao knows wine.
This wine will probably consume his week's B&B turnover.
After Sister Chen and the others put down their glasses, they glanced at Liu Tao and asked him to tell him about their cooperation.
Liu Tao thought about it and explained his purpose, his current advantages and his proposed plan, "From my point of view, there should be more than one novel in your husband's plan -"
Because the story begins with detective Polo going to the Middle East to handle cases for the French army, and also mentions the Kasner case. It was precisely because of the turn in the Kasner case that Polo temporarily decided to board the Orient Express, which led to the subsequent murder case. of.
“We have extensive experience in author operations and packaging, and have—”
Liu Tao is certain, "We are absolutely capable of turning your husband and his works into a monument of mystery novels."
Just as Li Qingning was about to speak, his cell phone rang.
She apologized and answered the call, "Hello, husband?"
Jiang Yang asked her where she was. He was home.
Li Qingning told her that he was having dinner at Long Mansion. After putting down the phone, she helplessly blew her hair down and said to Sister Chen, "It's settled, we'll have dinner here after talking."
From what Jiang Yang said on the phone, he didn't finish the boiled mutton and came back early to cook for her.
If all his good intentions were in vain, the little man wouldn't know how depressed he would be.
