Chapter 60, selling cuteness for sales

Speck came to Caltech today at the invitation of the president, after all, not every student who graduated from the Institute of Science and Technology can become the chairman of a national book publishing house like Bantam. As the president of a scientific research institution www.biquge.info he certainly knows better the importance of reaching out to people in the book publishing industry, and it just so happens that Speick is still from Caltech, so it makes sense to send an invitation.

Therefore, when Speick came to the auditorium, knowing that he and the people around him had nothing in common, he simply started his old business, that is, the promotion of his new book. Louis Vuitton's large high-end leather bag contained a thick stack of trifold brochures, at least hundreds, and he had only been here for half an hour, and at least half of them had been distributed.

After all, there are very few scholars who don't like to read.

"This is our new book "Shanghai Bookstore" that will be released in August, and I hope the professor will have a lot of cheers then."

"This is our new book "Blood Sea Like a Soul" to be released in September, and I hope that Mr. will recommend it to my friends."

Standing in the most obvious area of the auditorium, Speike smiled and became a salesman for his company, and gradually, he did not need to find it alone, and the teachers around him consciously gathered around. Many people who were a little far away saw this situation, inquired a little, and after knowing that it was the chairman of the bantam who recommended the new book, they all gathered together.

"Hello Mr. Speick, I'm Matthew Eddison of Astrophysics, and I would like to ask if your company has any information about ......"

"Al-Tran, Department of Theoretical Physics, I would very much like Bantam to reprint Quantum Mechanics, pages 5, 17, ...... of your book There are word misspellings in several places! ”

"...... Speck"

"Hey, John! John! John! ”

As several teachers gathered around Speike to ask questions, an excited voice rang out from afar, and a man quickly squeezed through the dense crowd and squeezed in front of Speike like a fish.

"Jurassic Park! Jurassic Park! ”

Mr. Mayer was out of breath when he saw the trifold in his hand and laughed loudly, "Ah, yes, friends, we're going to release a science fiction novel in November, and it's Jurassic Park!" I heard that friends, this book ......"

"Author, author...... John, tell me honestly......"

Mr. Mayer gasped roughly, "Is the author of this book, Alice Wang, a little Asian girl about twelve years old?" ”

The crowd immediately became very quiet, and many people watched back and forth between the two in amazement and curiosity.

What did he just say?

A twelve-year-old girl who has written a novel, and it is not yet in the realm of children's literature, but science fiction, and it looks ...... It's not a children's science fiction story either!

"Oh...... That's right, Togo. ”

Speike was also a little stunned, and thoughtfully, his gaze began to scan the crowd in the distance: "You can't see Miss Alice here, do you?" ”

Mayer was really sure now, he covered his face hard and wiped it down, even with a hooked nose and flicked: "That's right, John, it's in that corner, Alice...... That little Asian girl just told me that she wrote a Jurassic Park book for your company......"

Standing far away in the corner, Alice rolled her eyes when she saw the whole group, no less than ten old men, looking at her in unison.

"Little girl, it seems that your father is an anxious son."

"You're the one who is the one who is urgent! Your whole family is acute! How dare you say that my father is an acute son? You...... Wow! ”

Before the petite and cute Marisa could shout a few more words, there was a rumbling sound, and more than a dozen adult men strode through the dense crowd, instantly surrounding the two little girls!

"Your name is Alice? The gentleman said you wrote a ......"

"Which professor's child are you? Yes...... If the surname is Wang, could it be the guy James......"

"Did you really write this book? Do you like literature very much? I'm a professor in the Department of Literature......"

"Get out of the way!!"

A roar of rage brought back to the senses of the bulls who had been studying all day long, and Speick laboriously passed through them and came to Alice.

"Is there anyone like you who bombarded a little girl? She's not a Hollywood star, and you're not one of the paparazzi from The Sun, can you look like a bit of a scholar!? ”

In a few words, Speike blasted everyone away three or two meters with great momentum, and then turned to Alice and smiled: "Hey, Alice, we meet again." They didn't scare you, did they? ”

"Uh...... Mr. Speick, thank you, thank you. ”

I just met each other once two months ago, although when I published the book, the chairman did not show up in person, but he must have taken care of himself, but this is the case when he meets again at this time, Alice really has a feeling of crying and laughing.

"Gentlemen, this Jurassic Park is indeed the work of the girl in front of me, Alice, and I am here to prove it to you."

Speck shouted to the crowd: "But please don't ask too many questions, after all, this is an academic exchange meeting, not a book signing for Alice." If you are really interested in her and this book, then please satisfy your curiosity by buying it directly around November, what do you think? ”

Speck's remark was of course from his own standpoint, and of course, Alice also knew that it would be good for herself. After all, these people are also small influential figures, and if they keep asking questions about their new books, and they accidentally spoil them, they are likely to reduce the sales of new books!

"That...... Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask. ”

The reason why Marisa was "provoked" was because Alice had been observing everyone in the audience before, and she was still doing this: "Among all of you, there should be many people who are science and engineering, do you often need to use computers?" ”

Several professors looked at each other, after all, this question was too jumpy, and one of them nodded: "That's right, this one is from the law department, those two are from the literature department, and then the rest of us are indeed science and engineering majors, how do you see it?" ”

Judging by the personal temperament and the details of the dress, of course, Alice did not answer the question, but unfolded a beautiful smile that belonged to the beautiful little girls at the old men, whose average age was forty years old.

"Actually, gentlemen, writing is just a hobby of mine, but they also have a job, do you want to guess what?"

After saying that, Alice didn't forget to wink playfully, and her blue eyes seemed to contain a layer of mist.

Suddenly, even Speike, who was more familiar with her, was stunned.

Not to mention the other science and engineering nerds with an average age of forty, as colleagues, they know very well that at least half of them have not yet had the time to get married.

In this way, after seeing Alice's youthful and lovely, beautiful and moving smile, everyone nodded in unison along with that question.

Standing close and watching the whole process, the nine-year-old Marisa rolled her eyes three thousand times in a row, but unfortunately, now, even her father didn't have the time to pay attention to her.

"Hmph, actually, I'm actually a science and engineering tech nerd (Otaku)~"

Alice smiled and said, "I have partnered with Mr. and Mrs. Bossak from Stanford -- you should know each other -- to produce Internet hardware equipment, and there is already a finished product, and I invented it myself, called a router." ”

In this way, she immediately showed a fox smile: "Do you want to see it?" ”
