Chapter 889: Dictatorship (1)

In the past, the old president would make various evaluations of any important decisions, and then explain them for implementation after calculating that there were no problems. Let's take the few reality show projects that Leila has done for NBC before, and they all gave them a nod of confirmation before handing them over to the TV station for production.

When Kella arrived, they had much less of a role. Well, it should be said that it is basically useless. Because as long as it is a project she comes up with, whether they agree or disagree, they will directly implement it, and they will not listen to their negative opinions at all.

In this regard, the members of the think tank also feel that they are very wronged, not because they deliberately have nothing to do, but because they really don't see what is good in some projects. For example, she gave a few book manuscripts, and the contract price was much higher than the normal range.

It's nothing if you just give more money, anyway, this one is not bad money, maybe in her eyes, those manuscript fees are still very low. However, she not only gave the manuscript fee, but also gave the money to win other copyrights, such as the adaptation rights of film and television, and the authorization to translate other languages and sell them to other countries.

They had long heard that she had just read the list and drew a few names for the publisher to sign up, and even the original manuscript only turned two pages without looking at it closely.

You can judge whether a book is a good book by looking at the title, and you will definitely laugh to death if you say it! No matter how good a person is, he can't tell whether the content in it will be liked by readers just by looking at the name.

Not to mention that she also spent a lot of money to get all kinds of messy licenses, what made her think that a book that she didn't read carefully had the qualifications to be adapted into film and television, or could be translated into other languages and sold abroad?

According to the evaluation of their think tank, if you want to earn back all the money spent on signing a contract with that book, you must at least have the possibility of becoming a bestseller. If it does become a bestseller, the authorization they get can make them a fortune. But are bestsellers so easy to appear?

Every day, all kinds of books are put on the shelves of bookstores, but how many of them are bestsellers?

If Leila had read those books, the people in the think tank would have been skeptical at best, and would not have objected so much. After all, her reputation as a Hollywood director is very trustworthy, and it is said that as long as she fancies, she will have a brilliant Avenue of Fame.

The problem was that she didn't read the books at all, but after seeing the titles in the book list, she asked people to pick up the manuscript and look at it twice.

This matter came from the upper echelons of the publishing house, and the authenticity can definitely be assured. It is precisely because of this that the think tank is very resistant to her approach.

In their business, the most important thing is data. Promoting a book as a potential work is a different process from publishing an ordinary book. The former will invest a lot, such as posting advertisements, and doing some publicity work, inviting authors to sign and sell books, holding reading clubs, and so on.

Ordinary books can make limited money, and basically they will not invest in those promotions.

The things that Leila did were not undone by publishers before, but those were very interesting books. Like the new works of some famous artists, or the works that have long been well-known. No one would give so much money to a few from the book list, as if it was randomly pointed

Perhaps the new boss thought that as long as he had enough money, he would be able to turn any book into a bestseller. That's right, maybe the overwhelming publicity can really make those books have a relatively good sales volume for a certain period of time. But readers are not fools, and a person who is fooled means that his relatives and friends will no longer be deceived. Just as the good ones will be recommended, the bad ones will also warn their friends not to be deceived.

So no amount of investment will only be useful for a period of time, and it is very unlikely that you will be able to spend money on a few best-selling books, and no one will do that.

If it weren't for the fact that the authors of those books were ordinary people, the people in the think tank would almost have thought that the authors of those books were known to Leila. If you don't know each other, why should you look at the title of a book and package these ordinary authors who have never heard of the name as if they were famous authors?

With a high salary, the think tank naturally did not let Osvid's belongings be ruined by his granddaughter. So after they learned the news, they immediately asked Laila not to let her continue to "mess around".

Leila has memories of the future and knows which books have endless potential. Not to mention that someone else submitted it, even if she didn't submit it, she would catch up with her and publish it. Is there a reason to push out the money delivered to the door?

But she has no way to explain the future, except to strengthen her decision, she can only wait for the book to be released in the future and use real evidence to gag their mouths.

So she was a rare dictator, refusing any form of communication, and demanding that the people below must cooperate with her requests.

One by one, they ran to the old man to complain, hoping that he would teach Leila a lesson, telling her that this was not how she played in the mall, and that she couldn't just look at it and think it would work. If such a powerful person really exists, wouldn't all the wealth in the world be earned by her alone?

However, the old man's answer disappointed them, and he said, "Now that Leila has temporarily taken over the position of president, it is up to her to fulfill her full authority." It is her credit for success, and she bears the responsibility for failure. I know it has nothing to do with you, and I don't blame you. ”

The old man was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that these people would come to complain, firstly because Leila had refuted their face, and secondly, they were unwilling to bear the reputational damage caused by failure.

In the mall, no one can be sure that they will be successful all the time. Even the most successful businessmen will always make one or two mistakes. The difference between a successful businessman and a failed businessman can be seen in their attitude towards failure. Successful businessmen will take failure as a lesson, tell themselves not to make the same mistakes in the future, and draw inferences from each other, and will be wary of similar mistakes.

Failed businessmen, on the other hand, will begin to be timid because of a failure, and will no longer have the courage they used to have. There is a saying that "the bold starve to death", if you don't even have the courage to rush forward, how can you expect to succeed?

The members of the think tank who have been "spoiled" by their grandfather, each of them has a very high degree, and they also have many successful experiences, and the most important thing is that their decisions can often determine the decision of a group CEO of tens of billions of dollars, which makes them subconsciously feel that they are very great, and they are even more unacceptable to fail.
