After filling out the information form at Billy Buddha Village and paying the money to get the title deed, Lester and his sister Mokcony finally moved into a villa north of Sunset Avenue in Billy Buddha Village on February 1, and the two of them packed up and lived in a comfortable house.

While Leicester was busy packing up his new home, a phone call was made to discuss the publication of a new book under the name of Leicester, and the major publishers were called.

…

Penguin Publishing Branch, Editorial Meeting, a group of people sitting in the conference room looking at the editor-in-chief: Sergeus Hughes!

They were suddenly called to an interim editorial meeting by Celsius this time, and a group of people were still in a state of confusion and were called into the conference room.

"Has anyone offended the editor-in-chief? ”

Some people's hearts are pounding!

"I just received a call from Lester Rolley, the author of "The Twilight Zone", whose publishing agent is going to talk to our publisher about the publication of the new book "The True Story of Ahgan", starting at $13 million. ”

The first words of Celsius caused the editors in the conference room to explode, and for a moment there was a buzz in the quiet conference room.

Senior Editor Yanan asked with some uncertainty: "Editor-in-chief, you are talking about the author of "Twilight"!"

That's right, according to his meaning, whoever publishes the highest price will publish it!

Sergeus Hughes determined the way;

"He's already writing a new book. “

Senior Editor Yanan exclaimed with disbelief;

The author of "The Twilight Zone", the publisher can often hear about it in these six months!

His "Twilight" series is in the top three of the major sales charts, and in January it was even more popular all over the world, and they can't even think about it.

Especially because of the popularity of the "Twilight" series, Random House Publishing House's income has risen steadily, and I heard that this is a series, and only three of them have been released, which has made major publishing houses red-eyed.

This...

A group of people looked at each other!

If the author of the "Twilight" series releases a new book, even if this new book cannot be compared with "Twilight", it is also a book with rising sales, driven by fans of "Twilight".

"Editor-in-chief, I think we should get involved and get the book of "Ah Gan Zhengbiography". ”

Yanan's eyes were fiery, and he proposed;

Other editors said: We agree!

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Serhuus directly slapped the case; Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to participate in this Leicester Lorey book talk. ”

…

In the editorial room of the Random House branch, the editor-in-chief Reeswell knocked on the table and said with a low expression: "Lester Rolley's agent: Emmanuel plans to recruit the publishing office of the new book "Ah Gan True Story", what do you think about this. ”

"What he means is very clear, he wants to increase the remuneration of the author!

Fox frowned, pointing out something important.

Sandna, what do you think!

Seeing that everyone was talking, Reesville looked at Sandner and asked;

Sandner thought for a moment, and under the gaze of the other editors, he hesitated and said: "When signing a contract with Lester, there was a rule that if the author had a new book, he would give us priority, and I thought we could try it!"

"I agree, after all, this is the author's new book, Lester Lorey, whose Twilight series is a testament to his abilities at our publishing house. ”

Fausk nodded, agreeing;

Seeing this, Reeswell said firmly: "Then it is decided, we must take the book of "The True Story of Ah Gan" to our Random House for publication." ”

…

ICM (International Innovation Management Company), in a large reception room, held the launch of Leicester's new book "The True Story of Ahgan".

Emmanuel consulted with ICM's top management, and with their consent, arranged the publication of "The True Story of Ahgan" in the reception room.

When Reesville arrived with the Random House team, several publishers had already talked to Emmanuel, and as soon as he walked into the rest seat arranged by ICM, he saw Sertius, the editor-in-chief of Penguin Press, sitting inside and talking to Emmanuel, looking very embarrassed!

In the reception room, Will repeatedly said to Emmanuel in a cryptic manner: As long as we publish at Penguin, I will pay the author: Lester Rolley an advance of $20 million, and a share of the price of the novel.

Emmanuel talked to Will Rest with a nonchalant expression, and was a little surprised by the other party's generosity when he heard Will Rest's words.

When Emmanuel called them, he made it clear: the publication price could not be less than $13 million.

It's been 10 minutes since Will Hughes came in, and Emmanuel has not been in a hurry to talk about books, and always changes the topic when Will breaks down to talk about books, but now that the other party is so generous, Emmanuel is not good at talking about other things, but is silent quietly, and said politely: Mr. Will Hughes, you go out and wait for a while, I will discuss with the editor-in-chief of Random House, and it will be announced who will publish the novel.

I'm looking forward to it!

Will Hughes could only reluctantly walk out, collide with Reeswell who walked in, and look at them unexpectedly.

In a chat with Emmanuel, Will Hughes knew that Random House was their biggest competitor, and that the rest of the publishers were not paid as much as him, so he said hello to Reeswell and sat down on the resting couch.

See you again, Mr. Emmanuel!

Reeswell walked into the reception room and greeted Emmanuel with a smile on his face;

The last time Leicester had Emmanuel as his publishing agent, it didn't take long for them to meet and both knew who each other was!

As soon as Reeswell sat down, his ass was not yet hot, and he said straightforwardly: "The novel of "Ah Gan Zheng" We Langdon paid 19 million US dollars in advance, and %10 of the novel's price share.

Nice price!

Emmanuel was stunned, but he didn't expect Reeswell to not talk to him about the price, but directly said the price in their hearts, and said with a smile;

How can there be anyone who is taller than me!

Reeswell looked at Emmanuel's expression, and seeing that he was not much surprised by the price he said, he asked strangely;

Can't be in high anymore!

Emmanuel did not reveal the price they offered, but went up;

No, no, no, this is the highest price we have ever offered, Reesville rejected Emmanuel's offer, and said confidently: It is impossible for any publisher to offer 20 million in advance, and when Lester first signed the contract with us, he once wrote a clause that the new book would be published, and we would be given priority.

Okay, Mr. Reeswell, you go outside and wait with them, and I'll talk to Mr. Leicester on the phone, and I'll tell you who will publish the new book, "The True Story of Ahgan."

Emmanuel raised an eyebrow, not caring about what Rieswell said, and politely raised his hand to show surprise;

It's just a priority, and it doesn't say that others are bidding higher than you, and you can still be given priority!

Emmanuel picked up the phone and called Lester and said with a smile; The advance remuneration from Random House is 19 million, while Penguin is 20 million, and the rest of the publishers are more or less 17 million.

Penguin Bar!

To Emmanuel's surprise, Lester chose Penguin Publishers directly.

Doodle!

Listening to the phone hang up, Emmanuel walked out of the reception room.

Here it comes!

Reeswell saw Emmanuel walk out, and said to Sandner next to him with a smile on his face;

Emmanuel looked at the publisher with a smile and announced under his gaze: Congratulations to Penguin Publishing Group, which has received Mr. Lester's new book "The True Story of Ahgan" with an advance payment of $20 million.

Reeswell, who was originally smiling, stiffened his face and looked at Will Hughes, who had $1 million more than him, in disbelief!

In order to get the publication of "The True Story of Ah Gan", they worked too hard!
