Random House.

This is the largest publishing company in the West, formed by the merger of Penguin Publishing Group, a subsidiary of Pearson Group in the United Kingdom, and Random House, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann Group in Germany, which has become the world's largest book publishing group, accounting for nearly 25% of the global publishing business......

A meeting.

Two high-level executives in charge of the introduction of works from other countries are competing against each other.

"Tom, with all due respect, what kind of "Fairy Tale King" you spent a lot of money to introduce, it is difficult to bring enough benefits to our company, I don't think there is anything worth looking forward to in a fairy tale work......"

"Jerry, "Fairy Tale King" is very popular in the Dragon Kingdom!"

"This is not enough to explain the problem, the possibility of the Dragon Kingdom Fire Book being popular in our country is too low, and the cultural differences make our readers here not buy it, you should know this better than me......"

"Before I say that, I think you need to take a look at this fairy tale!"

"I'm sorry, I'm an adult, it's hard to read a fairy tale, maybe my eight-year-old son will be interested, oh, maybe my eight-year-old son won't be interested in a fairy tale from the East......"

Tom and Jerry are a pair of good friends who love and kill each other.

The senior management of Random House has long been aware of this, and everyone is accustomed to the daily mutual confrontation between the two, just when the atmosphere between the two is becoming more and more tense, the editor-in-chief Galio became a peacemaker: "The two don't have to quarrel anymore, "Fairy Tale King" will withstand the test of the market in May, Luoyang is the most famous writer in the Dragon Kingdom, or the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, our readers here are not strangers to him......"

"I don't think the Nobel Prize will help sales. ”

Jerry pouted and said, the law of the years has long proved that the Nobel laureates' works do not sell well, because they are not commercialized enough, so they are all niche, so they are just a little higher.

Tom snorted: "Jerry, since you are not convinced, we might as well take a gamble." ”

Jerry sneered: "Okay, then let's make a bet, if this work sells more than 10 million in a month, I will invite everyone to dinner and apologize to you, and it will be the same if you lose." ”

"Good!"

Tom nodded in agreement.

As a veteran editor who has already read "The Fairy Tale King", Tom is sure that his vision will not be bad, and the fairy tale he introduced will definitely bring great surprises to Western readers!

――――――

Time passed little by little.

In the following days, Random House did not lack the publicity that should be done, they used the banner of Luoyang's "Nobel Prize Winner in Literature", starting from Luoyang's identity as a "sales maniac", or making a big fuss about Luoyang's identity as the author of the super popular comic "Dragon Ball", and carried out a lot of publicity for "Fairy Tale King".

Finally, May 1st is here!

This "Fairy Tale King", which made the senior management of Random House have different opinions, has finally appeared on the shelves of major bookstores, and many readers who were attracted by publicity before obediently took out their wallets, of course, this number is not large, although Luoyang's reputation in the West is not small, but if it is big, it can't be talked about, let alone the so-called market appeal......

"I consulted with the investigation department, and the performance of "Fairy Tale King" on the first day was very average!"

Jerry tells Tom that he and Tom have a good personal relationship, but the two often disagree at work, such as this time, Jerry is very dissatisfied with Tom's spending a lot of money on "Fairy Tale King".

Spend too much money!

Value mismatch!

However, Tom is not in a hurry, to use a Hokkien proverb, that is, the old god is there: "This is just the first day, after all, Luoyang is not a writer with amazing appeal like Theking, so this is not enough to explain anything, a week, I believe that in a week, the situation will be completely reversed." ”

Jerry laughed: "It's ridiculous, you actually compare that Luoyang of the Dragon Kingdom with Teacher Theking?"

Tom shook his head and said, "This is not ridiculous, Jerry, I know you like Mr. Theking, Mr. Theking is indeed a world-class writer, but I believe that in the near future, Luoyang will also become a world-class master with the same status as Theking!"

"Do you think a week can be reversed?"

"Maybe it won't take a week, but what is more important than publicity is the quality of the work, and I believe that with the quality of "Fairy Tale King", no one will be disappointed!"

―――――――

It really doesn't take a week.

On May 4th, the fourth day of "The Fairy Tale King" landing in the foreign book market, Random House suddenly held an emergency meeting, all the company's senior management was present, even Random House editor-in-chief Adrian, who rarely appeared, appeared in the meeting, and the senior executives wondered why they suddenly held an emergency meeting.

"Guys, I'm going to praise one person here!"

At the beginning of the meeting, the editor-in-chief Adrian looked at the top executives, and finally his eyes fell on Tom: "Tom, the "Fairy Tale King" introduced by you suddenly sold out yesterday, and it has sold out 32 million copies, and all three of our large bookstores in China have been sold out, this is the fourth day that "The Fairy Tale King" has landed on the market, and this work is likely to be the most successful introduction of our work in several years......"

Bang!

The audience was amazed!

Jerry's ears are even more coaxing!

He looked at the editor-in-chief incredulously: "Editor-in-chief, are you saying that "The Fairy Tale King" sold more than 30 million copies in only four days, this should be a joke, it's just a fairy tale, a fairy tale from the East......"

Adrian said seriously: "I don't like to joke. ”

Tom's face showed a smug smile: "Thank you, editor-in-chief, in order to win the agency of "Fairy Tale King", we also spent a lot of money......"

"It's all worth it!"

Adrian, who has always been calm, couldn't help but say loudly: "Hey, guys, we have completed a terrific introduction, starting from below, we must promote this "Fairy Tale King" with S-level standards, I have to say, there may be a world-class fairy tale master, about to be born - settle down, when you turn around and end the meeting, remember to bring me two copies of "Fairy Tale King", the bookstore is out of stock, and my two children are clamoring to read it again!"

......

The meeting continues.

Jerry couldn't hear what the editor-in-chief was saying.

After the meeting ended, Tom patted Jerry's shoulder, who was still in a daze, and said with a smile: "I am willing to lose the bet, don't forget to invite everyone to dinner tonight!"

Jerry glared at Tom with mixed feelings, and was about to open his mouth when his phone rang.

Jerry connected the phone and said with a depressed voice: "Dear son, Dad has some things to deal with tonight, and he can come home very late, so you can just have dinner with Mom, and you don't have to wait for me." ”

On the other end of the phone, the immature voice said: "Okay, besides, Dad, you remember to buy me a copy of "Fairy Tale King" when you come back in the evening, I read the one that my classmates bought today, it's really cool......"

Jerry: "......"
