Chapter 306: Embattled, Nothing Can Be Done?
"What? What's going on? Why didn't anyone tell me? ”
Liu Qingyan, who was busy doing some marketing planning, was completely stunned when she heard her subordinate Xiao Qiu suddenly say this situation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mr. Liu, I'...... We also just found out, and we don't know why, the external relations department of those bookstores ...... I called this morning to say it. We're already completely messed up outside......" Xiao Qiu lowered her head, not daring to look up at Liu Qingyan, because she also knew how serious the consequences of this matter would be.
Although Liu Qingyan was anxious in her heart, she immediately forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath and asked, "What about our books now?" And what about those books that were shipped from the printing house? Isn't it supposed to be delivered to bookstores across the country this morning? What is the situation now? ”
"I ...... I was just about to talk about it, the logistics company responsible for shipping these books for us said, now...... The bookstores didn't sign for the books at all, so they didn't know what to do and called us to ask us...... They can't do it, they can just pull the books back again......"
"Can't pull it back! Tomorrow is the launch date of our new book, and now we will go back and find a co-sales partner, then it will definitely not be released tomorrow. ”
Liu Qingyan immediately interrupted Xiao Qiu's words, and then immediately said, "Contact those bookstores right away, ask them what the problem is, and if it's the proportion, tell them...... We can discuss it again. ”
"Good! I'll go ...... right away."
Xiao Qiu hurriedly ran out, but after a while, she ran back with a sad face and said, "Mr. Liu, no! They said that it was not a matter of proportion, but that they ordered from above that they could not guess the sale of "The Condor Heroes". ”
"Above? Hehe! I know what's wrong. ”
sneered, but Liu Qingyan received an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hey ......"
Liu Qingyan was in a bad mood and said in a deep voice.
"Sister Liu, is that you? I...... I'm Sanyu, yes! We met last time at the Writers' Association Exchange Meeting. It was Sanyu who called, and when she saw the news of the online forum, she immediately became worried and hurriedly called to inquire about the situation.
"Xiaoyu? What, you called, what's the matter? Liu Qingyan was also surprised that Sanyu would call, after all, she and Sanyu were not very familiar with each other, but they had a few encounters.
"I want to ask...... Will the volcano's "Condor Heroes" be published tomorrow as scheduled? Sanyu asked.
"Published on schedule? I see, Xiaoyu, are you also here to see my jokes? Liu Qingyan said angrily.
"No...... No. I just saw some rumors on the Internet and knew that you guys had some problems, and I want to ...... Would you like me to help? Sanyu pondered for a moment, then added, "I also know the ...... of those bookstores at the director level."
After all, Sanyu is now the best-selling novel writer in China, so she naturally has a good relationship with the CEOs of major bookstore groups, and she can be regarded as a talkative person.
"Xiaoyu, thank you for your kindness. However, it doesn't work, even if you intercede, I'm afraid they won't change their minds. ”
Hearing that Sanyu didn't come to see the excitement in the well, Liu Qingyan also smiled bitterly and said to her.
"Why? Could it be that Sister Liu, it's Qiu Lao who is ...... again" Sanyu frowned.
"It shouldn't be wrong, besides him, who else has such a big enmity with the volcano? I wondered, he is an old-timer in the literary world, why can't he get along with young people all day long? Originally, I didn't want to say it, but now I really can't help it, people like him are like the old saying that old and not dead are thieves......"
Liu Qingyan, who was huffing and huffing, found an outlet and said it without fear.
"So what now? Sister Liu, aren't all your books printed? Sanyu asked.
"I don't know yet. Xiaoyu, I will deal with it here, I thank you for your concern, believe us, wait for my good news......"
hung up Sanyu's phone, but Liu Qingyan was even more worried, picked up the phone on the table, and called out in person.
"Really? Mr. Wang, I will give you another five points of profit, you must know that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is so popular on the Internet, it will definitely become a hit...... In that case, forget it! In the future, our books will never be published in Xinhua Bookstore......"
"Mr. Zhang, your Joint Bookstore has always been afraid of power, and you dare to sell any book! How to ...... this time All right! I know you have a good relationship with Qiu Lao, but ...... Yes! I made a note, Mr. Zhang, let's look down and don't look up, and you will regret the decision you made today in the future. ”
……
After making more than a dozen phone calls in a row, Liu Qingyan can be said to have personally lowered her voice and conceded more profits and interests, but she couldn't convince the CEOs of these bookstore groups at all.
After all, no matter how big her face is, can she be as big as Qiu Ming?
After all, even if the publication of her book "The Condor Heroes" is a hit, how much money can be made by so many books given by the Family Writers Association every year?
"Willow ...... Mr. Liu, this ...... What should I do this time? Will we be able to do our marketing plan for tomorrow's book launch? Xiao Qiu saw Liu Qingyan sitting weakly on the chair, so he stepped forward weakly and asked.
"I'm afraid, this time, I really can't do it!"
Tired!
Liu Qingyan is really tired this time!
Before, whether it was doing her best to help the children in the mountainous areas, or fighting with the publishing house and the editor-in-chief to resign in the end for the sake of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Qingyan's heart has always been full of hope.
She believes that as long as she works hard, as long as she pays sincerity and sweat, this spark of hope can burn brightly.
She has always believed in this.
There may be cruel darkness in the world, but as long as there is a spark of hope, then the darkness cannot overshadow everything.
However, now, at this time, she really has nothing to do, and she can't use the slightest strength in her body.
Why?
Will the world be so helpless?
Why?
Could darkness come so suddenly?
Why?
Sincerity and sweat, but can't get a chance to prove yourself?
Could it be that this society is still controlled by those corrupt voices? Can their power, their influence, really control everything? How do their preferences and attitudes determine the fate of others? Why stand in the way of someone else's chance? (To be continued.) )
