Tian Zhongqing really hadn't read Li Yuan's manuscript, and he was busy with his own business during this time.

Yes, his identity as the director of the distribution department is just a cover-up, and there are actually other livelihoods.

His livelihood is to help people launder money by publishing books.

Money laundering by lending books is nothing new, and Createspace is the most famous of the following generations.

Creative Space, Amazon's self-publishing platform, has emerged to make book publishing a breeze – as long as the text in a book isn't judged to be a character or gibberish, it can be published by Amazon, and authors can sell it at any price.

Money launderers use the platform to make a fuss, first concocting a book – some simply repeating the same sentence indefinitely, scraping together the word count of a book, and then labeling it at a sky-high price – hundreds of dollars a copy, and then disguised as book buyers to buy them on a large scale to legalize their ill-gotten gains.

What's more, some criminals even steal other people's identity information to act as authors to evade taxes......

Of course, Tian Zhongqing's methods are not so "high-tech", but the principles are similar.

It's also a bullshit book that sells at the price of a hardcover book. Although it is called a hardcover book, it is actually poorly printed, and many of them are even printed by pirated printers, and the cost is low enough to be ignored.

In this way, the left hand is poured into the right hand, and the bad money is laundered.

There are many more tricks to be played with this trick.

For example, publishing books on behalf of individual officials who are elegant can not only bring people closer together, but also use them to bribe, or to concoct academic works and then use the library to purchase them in bulk to make a profit......

Ahem, all in all, the publishing industry has been a major victim of money laundering for a long time.

……

Tian Zhongqing rushed back from the capital in the face of Wu Ciren, but he didn't expect that kind of bad thing to happen on the plane, and he didn't expect that the young genius that Wu Ciren repeatedly mentioned on the phone turned out to be the boy who embarrassed himself, but I can imagine how annoyed he was in his heart.

Thinking of the words that Li Yuan threw at him on the plane and the contemptuous eyes, Tian Zhongqing was angry.

Teenage genius?

Tian Zhongqing thought disdainfully, maybe it was Wu Ciren's nephews and nephews, who wanted to lend the book to gild.

Tian Zhongqing wants to have a backstage and connections, so he doesn't need to take Wu Ciren in his eyes, but at least he still understands the truth of life, so he called Wu Ciren and was willing to pay 100,000 yuan to buy out the copyright of the novel.

In his opinion, this money was given to Wu Tsering, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Tsering actually refused.

What is this, is it shameless to give face?

The more Tian Zhongqing thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and even hated Wu Ciren, thinking that you don't know how to lift, then don't blame me for being polite......

……

Wu Tsering was in a bad mood.

He knew more than one publishing house, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, and the next morning, he and Feng Wan went to several other publishing houses, but they were all rejected without exception.

ran a few in succession, and the excuses for refusal were more ridiculous than the other-

Some people say that the manpower is not busy enough, and this excuse is already very careful.

Some said that they couldn't apply for a book number, that they had no publication plans in the near future, and that the president had a car accident......

These ridiculous excuses might as well be rejected outright.

At this point, even if Wu Tsering is a fool, he understands what is going on.

This is the villain's stumbling block.

"Isn't it Tian Zhongqing?"

Wu Ciren stared at Guan Yingzhou, the president above, and asked unceremoniously.

Guan Yingzhou and he are old friends, and when he saw this, he smiled bitterly: "Didn't you ask knowingly...... I also want to ask you, how did you offend him?"

"How can I offend him!"

Wu Tsering was self-deprecating on the surface, but in fact he said sarcastically, telling the other party the cause and effect.

"......" Guan Yingzhou was silent after hearing this, and after a while, he spoke: "I think you don't have to waste your efforts, even if someone is willing to help, you must be able to get the book number......"

Before Guan Yingzhou's words were finished, Wu Tseren's heart was completely cold.

I was in a hurry before, but I forgot about this stubble. Yes, the approval of the book number is in the hands of the Press and Publication Administration, although Tian Zhongqing's brother is not the number one, but it is not difficult to suppress the approval.

"Then what should I do? I finally found such a good seedling, and you don't know about me, this kind of thing happened at a critical time, you ...... it."

Wu Tsering couldn't go on.

He was annoyed in his heart, and he complained about Li Yuan. You said that when you were brave and brave, you had to bump into Tian Zhongqing's muzzle.

Complaining is complaining, Wu Tsering also knows that the fault is not Li Yuan, not to mention that now is not the time to entangle who is right and who is wrong, the essay contest is approaching, and the publication cannot be finalized as soon as possible, and a series of follow-up plans will be ruined.

Wu Ciren said with a bitter face: "Brother, you are well-connected, or you can make peace with it, even if you let me kowtow and make amends, this matter really can't be delayed any longer......"

Guan Yingzhou shook his head and said: "Tian Zhongqing's small belly and chicken intestines, it's useless for you to knock your head and be afraid, besides, your reputation is not good when the matter spreads." ”

"How can I care about fame now......"

"Don't worry," Guan Yingzhou smiled and said, "It's not impossible." ”

"I said Lao Guan, don't sell Guanzi, if you have any way, just say it!"

"Two paths. ”

Guan Yingzhou stretched out two fingers and said, "The first way is to smash it with money." Tian Zhongqing is greedy for money, if you are willing to spend money, this matter is not impossible to settle. ”

"What else?"

"Domestic publishing houses can't get through, isn't there still Hong Kong. ”

"You mean to find a publishing house in Hong Kong?" Wu Ciren was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "This is a good way......

The reason why Wu Tsering is happy is because the Hong Kong book number does not need to be approved by the Press and Publication Administration, and Tian Zhongqing can't do it if he wants to. Of course, it is precisely because the Hong Kong account is not included in the management of the mainland Press and Publication Administration that it can only be published and distributed in Hong Kong and overseas.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's only for private collection or gifting, but this book was originally used to expand the domestic book market, and it can't be published.

Fortunately, there are still relevant departments.

This relevant department is the National Copyright Administration.

The National Copyright Administration and the Press and Publication Administration are both vice-ministerial-level units, and the functions and powers of the two intersect with each other, and even the director of the National Copyright Administration has always been the director of the Press and Publication Administration.

If Li Yuan's book wants to be published and distributed through a mainland publishing house, it will be the Press and Publication Administration that will play the leading role, and the National Copyright Administration will play a leading role in adopting the method of saving the country from a curve.

What is more important is not the question of which mountain to worship, but more importantly, Hong Kong has just returned to the motherland, and this matter can be raised to the level of cultural exchanges between the two places.

Wu Ciren figured out the trick, was overjoyed, and said to Guan Yingzhou: "It's still your brain!"

After speaking, he said to Feng Wan again: "Miss Feng, I can't leave here, I may need you to go to Hong Kong." ”

Feng Wan nodded and said, "I know, I'll book a ticket in a while." ”

"Don't rush to book tickets just yet. ”

Guan Yingzhou interjected, and said with a smile: "I have good news to tell you, Li Xin, the general manager of Hong Kong Joint Bookstore, is currently in Shanghai, and I have a little thin noodles, so I can introduce you to it......

……

When Li Yuan received the call, he was shopping with Shen Zhuyin.

To be honest, Li Yuan had long guessed that Feng Wan and Wu Ciren would not go well today, but he couldn't imagine that he could eat so fresh and refined behind closed doors.

What Li Yuan didn't expect was that Wu Ciren really found a solution.

Knowing that the general manager of Hong Kong Sanlian was invited to a banquet, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is really a village with no way out.

Speaking of which, Hong Kong Sanlian is a better choice.

When it comes to Sanlian Bookstore, many people will feel confused, because there are a lot of bookstores called "Sanlian".

Joint Publishing was formed in 1948 by the merger of three well-known publishing institutions active in the thirties and forties, Life Bookstore, Reading Publishing House and Xinzhi Bookstore.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the old Sanlian was divided into two, and most of the backbone returned to the mainland to establish the Beijing Sanlian Bookstore, which was then reconciled and divided with the People's Publishing House, and was a comprehensive publishing institution with considerable influence in China. At the same time, Hong Kong Joint Publishing also retained, and later formed the Hong Kong United Publishing Group with the Hong Kong Commercial Press, Chung Hwa Book Company and other companies.

In addition, Beijing Sanlian and Hong Kong Sanlian also established a joint venture in 1990 to establish Shanghai Hong Kong Sanlian Bookstore (officially opened in 1994), which is often referred to as Shanghai Sanlian (Shanghai-Hong Kong Sanlian).

In other words, there are actually three joint bookstores in China, one each in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

It's really messy.

……

Chaos aside, since people have invited him, of course Li Yuan can't help but show up, but before going to the banquet, he has to do a good job of shopping.

Li Yuan doesn't like to go shopping, even if he goes shopping with beautiful women, but now it is beautiful women who accompany him shopping.

"Li Yuan, what do you think of this dress?"

Shen Zhuyin asked, holding up a blue suit.

Li Yuan pursed his lips, really embarrassed to evaluate her aesthetics.

"What's that look on your face? You want me to buy clothes for you, right?"

Shen Zhuyin was dissatisfied and stuffed the suit into Li Yuan's arms, and said in a commanding tone: "Go and try it!" Wait, the pants are also changed, and the shirt ......."

"Okay......"

Li Yuan sighed and walked into the fitting room with a pile of clothes.

The fitting room isn't very spacious, but it's big enough for two people.

Yes, there was already someone in the fitting room, and it was a woman.

The woman leaned to the side and said expressionlessly, "Hurry up and change, what do you see me doing?"

"How can I change you here?" asked Li Yuan with a wry smile.

"You're just going to let me not exist. ”

The woman still had a poker face, she looked at the small notebook in her hand, and said, "Hurry up, I have to cut my hair next......
