Chapter Seventy-One: The Blues Story Meeting
Chapter Seventy-One: The Blues Story Meeting
……
"You've got a new book?"
Christopher's eyes lit up instantly.
"Christopher, I found out that you have the potential to be a wizard, you can pinch it!"
In the face of ridicule, Christopher couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I've known you for almost half a year, if I don't know how often you write, then my publishing agent in the past twenty years has really done it for nothing!"
Guo Shouyun smiled and took out the manuscript bound in two stacks from his briefcase.
"I just finished writing it the day before yesterday!"
"Show me the Blues Story!" Christopher said impatiently.
Now Guo Shouyun's new book means a steady stream of money, no wonder he is in such a hurry.
"Let's wait until I get to the company, you're still driving, I don't want to die young!" said Guo Shouyun, putting the manuscript back away.
Christopher, who is infinitely curious about his new book, is like a child who can't get candy, but he is helpless in the face of Guo Shouyun's resoluteness. In order to quench the hunger ~ thirst in his heart, the throttle under his feet was instantly doubled, and he drove towards the place where the Thorn Bird's office area was located. Of course, when he came downstairs, he was also posted countless tickets for running a red light. Christopher doesn't care about that anymore, though.
"The first "Finding Nemo" in "Blues Story"?"
Although he was taught a lesson by Guo Shouyun's magic voice when he was driving, his mood was inevitably a little depressed. But when he saw the manuscript, Christopher instantly became happy.
Because of the dizziness after drag racing, Guo Shouyun, who was a little fluttering under his feet, regretted why he didn't give him the manuscript directly at that time?
"Finding Nemo is divided into two volumes, "Looking for Nemo" and "Where is Dolly Going", which are mainly aimed at the children's publishing market!" Guo Shouyun covered his head, his tone was a little weak, he hadn't slowed down yet.
"That's great, Bruce, so it just so happens that Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is about to be published, and with your Finding Nemo, how about I do a signing in New York?"
"Signing sessions?"
Guo Shouyun was stunned.
First New York, then Boston, HSD, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and finally London, Paris, Berlin, etc. With the fame and influence of your and Rowling's works, you can definitely cause a sensation, and when the new book is launched, the sales will definitely be hot!"
The more he thought about it, the more Christopher felt that this idea was reliable, and his expression became more and more excited.
Guo Shouyun, who flashed a hint of thought in his eyes, nodded, "The idea of the signing meeting is good, but I only participate in the New York station!"
"Only New York, why?"
"Christopher, I'm not just a writer. There's a whole bunch of things to do on LinkedIn and the Matrix over there!"
As soon as he was reminded, Christopher remembered that the man sitting in front of him was not only a best-selling author, but also an authentic businessman.
"Bruce, can't you squeeze in more time to come out? If this signing is successful, it can really make your popularity and influence world-class!" Although he knew the reason, Christopher still didn't want to give up, which was not only related to Guo Shouyun's interests, but also related to the revenue of Thorn Bird Publishing House, and of course, the core was his interests.
"Christopher, you should remember that I said that I don't like life in the spotlight! Being famous is not all good for me!" Guo Shouyun said calmly.
Looking at his serious expression, Christopher knew that the other party would not change his mind.
"Alright, well, since you don't want to, forget it. But you must attend the New York stop!"
Whether it is out of interest considerations or the feelings of friends, he will not really disobey Guo Shouyun's decision.
"Of course, I haven't seen Rowling for a long time, and I miss her a lot!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun pointed out, "Neil should be on vacation, right?"
"Neil?" Christopher nodded, "Exeter University is on summer vacation, and his teacher is naturally fine." Now I'm vacationing in Spain with Rowling!"
"That's it!" After nodding, Guo Shouyun's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Christopher, when you invite Rowling, I will tell Neil by the way, I invited them to come to New York for a vacation with Jessica." Also, I said I was going to be Jessica's godfather!"
"Well, they're fine right now anyway!"
Christopher didn't think much of it and agreed.
After noticing Christopher's eyes firmly glued to the manuscript of "Finding Nemo", Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly and stood up.
"I went to the hotel to check in, and after reading it, remember to write your revisions on it. ”
Christopher nodded, "Rooms 312, 327 and 305 of the Plaza Hotel, according to your requirements, the first two rooms are opposite the door! ”
"What do I want?"
"It's all in the front desk, but are you sure Molly likes Beckham's signed jersey?"
"Of course Molly doesn't like it, but her brother is a big Beckham fan!"
In addition to seeing the Thorn Bird Publishing Company, another important purpose of this visit to New York was to welcome Molly Bevan and her younger brother, who was about to come to Columbia University for a year as an exchange student.
Although I only met Molly Bevan a few times in June when I was in the UK, we didn't talk much. But since then, he has been chatting with each other almost every night via email or ICQ. After more than three months of online communication, the two have basically gained a deep understanding of each other. This time he came to New York, Guo Shouyun made up his mind to win this cold and pure, classical and intellectual beauty!
……
"Sister, what does brother-in-law look like?"
A handsome man in a black casual T-shirt, a peaked cap, and a somewhat punk style smiled at the beautiful girl sitting next to him like a white lotus.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Molly Bevan's face was slightly red, and her wide pretty eyes glared fiercely at her younger brother who was not doing right. Although the two are sisters and brothers, their personalities are very different. Molly Bevan is cold, quiet, and even a touch of arrogance. But as the younger brother, Al Bewen is a typical optimist, enthusiastic, outgoing, and arrogant, and doesn't care about anything.
"What nonsense, I've seen his email with you...!" Al Bevin, who realized that he had said something wrong, quickly stopped, but the words he said helplessly were like water spilled out, and he couldn't get them back.
"Al, you're peeking at my mailbox again!"
Al Bevan, who has been used to being naughty and mischievous since he was a child, is most afraid of his sister, so after seeing Molly angry, he quickly shrunk his neck and muttered: "Who told you not to turn off the computer, I'm just curious!"
"You...!"
"Hello, my name is Cross, can you lend me this "Hangover" to read?"
Just as Molly Bevan was ready to teach her unreliable brother a lesson, a young man in a blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked over next to her.
Looking at this guy who used borrowing books as an excuse to talk to his sister, Al Bevan's eyes were full of schadenfreude. Since he was a child, he has seen this situation too much. However, considering that his appearance can be regarded as helping himself and exempting the old lady from a lesson, Al Bewen reluctantly refuses to be a saboteur.
"Yes!"
Molly Bevan nodded, and handed the book over.
"Thank you... Can you leave a phone call, I'll return it to you after I've finished reading!" The man didn't leave immediately after taking the book in his hand.
"No! I've finished reading the book. Plus, we're on the plane soon, so it's for you!" Molly Bevan said with a nonchalant expression.
"How can this work, anyway, I am also an MBA master of Oxford Business School and a fund manager of Bahrain Asset Management Group, how can I borrow something from others and not pay it back!" The young man with a smile on his face and a gentle tone revealed his background as a successful person without a trace.
Hearing this, Al Beven on the side pouted and sentenced this guy to death. The most annoying thing about my sister is this kind of guy who cheats girls with her family background.
"In that case, for the sake of your moral standards, you should leave this book with me, but fortunately it is sold in many bookstores in the UK, and if you want to read it, there is a point of sale next to the airport lounge, you can go and buy a copy!"
When the words fell, Molly Bevan took the book back from the other party's hand when the other party was stunned, got up and greeted Al Bevan next to him, and walked towards the boarding gate.
"Hey, for the sake of helping me out by mistake, my sister is not comparable to the girls you usually surround yourself with who fancy money!"
"Al Bevan, if you are long-winded, you can go to New York on your own!"
"Uh, here we are!"
Looking at his empty left hand, and then looking at the distant backs of the sister and brother, a playful smile appeared on the young man's face.
"Oliver, the girl's appearance and temperament just now are the only ones I have ever seen in my life!"
A man in a black suit appears behind Oliver Barin.
He glanced at his friend and smiled faintly, "Al Bevan, help me look up this name, I need all the information about him and his family members." ”
"No problem, give me a week, and when you come back from the Netherlands, I'll definitely have good news for you!"
"David, if it works out, I won't forget your help!"
The man named David smiled, "You helped me with the loan from INGB, I will not forget this kindness!"
Oliver Balin smiled and nodded, "My flight time is almost up, thank you for coming to see me off, it's time for me to go!"
"Goodbye!"
