Chapter 65: The Trouble with Harry Potter
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ming turned his head and said to Ye Tianyi: "Tianyi, it just so happens that Zhou Wen is busy with publishing in the provincial capital at this time, and he can come over later." ”
Ye Tianyi nodded, to be honest, he still cares about this book, after all, the original author of Harry Potter began to have the idea of creating Harry Potter in 1990, and it was almost 1992 at this time.
When the first level of Harry Potter was finished, Ye Tianyi decided to send a few staff members to find the original Rowling, and the follow-up Harry Potter was created by her, after all, Ye Tianyi only opened the first book, and could only write one. But for the value of Harry Potter itself, Ye Tianyi is really clear, it is a money printing machine.
After about half an hour, the phone on the table rang, and Ye Ming picked up the phone, but it was Zhou Wen, the person in charge of the publishing house, who had already arrived at the Tianxing Mall.
Ye Ming hummed a few times, then quickly left the office and went to bring Zhou Wen up, after all, Zhou Wen only knew that Ye Ming was the boss of Tianxing Mall. But he himself doesn't belong to the Tianxing Mall, so it is impossible for him to come to the office of the Tianxing Mall as a stranger, after all, those security guards are not decorations, so only Ye Ming went down and brought him up.
After a while, the door of the office was opened, but it was Ye Ming who walked in with a middle-aged man about thirty years old with gold-rimmed eyes.
"You may be seated." Ye Tianyi got up, walked to the sofa and said to Zhou Wen, and sat down himself.
Zhou Wen naturally didn't know Ye Tianyi, so he turned his head to look at Ye Ming, not knowing what he meant, Ye Ming smiled and said, "This is my nephew Ye Tianyi, that is, the author who wrote Harry Potter." ”
"No wonder." Zhou Wen nodded, and then sat down with Ye Ming.
Ye Tianyi smiled, and didn't care, anyway, he didn't want to expose his identity in front of too many people at the moment, after all, it was better to be low-key.
Isn't there such a saying: be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner.
And Ye Tianyi implemented this style, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, how is the publication of my book?" Ye Tianyi deliberately showed the eager face of a child.
Zhou Wen smiled awkwardly and said a little embarrassed: "Ah, this ......"
For a long time, Zhou Wen didn't say anything, but Ye Ming said: "If you have any trouble, just say it." ”
Zhou Wen nodded awkwardly, glanced at Ye Ming's face, and then said cautiously: "It's not that it won't be published, originally that Harry Potter could have been published very early." I also found that book to be nice and engaging. But because I take into account our local Chinese novel style, I have been observing the market, so I ......"
After saying that, Zhou Wen immediately fell silent, now he is just the person in charge of the publishing house, not to mention that the author of this book was written by the nephew of his boss, and he has been dragging it, maybe his boss will make any stumbling blocks for himself, or directly let himself get out.
Hearing Zhou Wen's words, Ye Tianyi was silent, but he was anxious, indeed, Harry Potter is a Western magic novel, but the culture of China is not very interested in this Western magic, Harry Potter was not published in China at the beginning. It is also not suitable for publishing in China from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianyi said: "Uncle, why don't you translate Harry Potter into English first and publish it in other Western countries first." When the response to this book is great, we will publish it in Huaxia. ”
"That's good." Zhou Wen nodded: "It's a pity that the cost is going to get bigger again, and we have to contact some foreign publishing houses, which will delay time." ”
Ye Tianyi nodded, thinking of the situation just now, and now he was not in a hurry, so he said: "Take your time, but it has to be listed at the end of this year." Immediately, Ye Tianyi gave his uncle another color.
Ye Ming immediately understood, patted Zhou Wen's shoulder and said, "Well, don't worry about the funds, just publish it as soon as possible." ”
After getting Ye Ming's assurance, Zhou Wen laughed, in fact, he himself also likes Harry Potter, and even liked it at the first glance when he read this book. But just because he likes it doesn't mean that all readers like it too, plus Harry Potter's background is Western magic, so it's been held.
Now it's okay, it's a big deal not to publish it in China first, but to publish it abroad first to make a name for it, and Zhou Wen doesn't care about whether the reputation can be started, because he believes in the magic of this book.
When he first got the book, Zhou Wen hurriedly asked Ye Ming who the author of the book was, but the result was Ye Ming's nephew, a six-year-old child.
At that time, Zhou Wen was stunned, but after being stunned, he reflected that he was not a brainless person, he didn't care who wrote it, as long as he could make money.
At Ye Tianyi's suggestion, Ye Ming talked to Zhou Wen about the development direction of the publishing house, and Ye Tianyi learned from the conversation that Zhou Wen was a very ambitious person.
Ambitious? That's a good thing. Ye Tianyi was very happy in his heart, because Zhou Wen's ambition was not to rebel, but to make Tianxing Publishing House a publishing house with a global surname, although this goal was very far away, but every time he saw Zhou Wen's firm and ambitious eyes, Ye Tianyi saw hope.
Ye Tianyi immediately pointed out that Zhou Wen is a talent!
The conversation lasted for an hour, and because Zhou Wen later received a phone call, he said goodbye and left.
"Tianyi, what do you think of him?" Looking at Zhou Wen's departing back, Ye Ming turned his head and asked Ye Tianyi.
"He's a talent, but he's a little more ambitious. Gotta bang bang to keep him from being too ambitious, but overall it's good. Ye Tianyi said with a smile.
"Huh." Ye Ming smiled, quite satisfied with his nephew's evaluation. Why? Because Zhou Wen was recruited by him Ye Ming, and he recruited a talent. What does this mean, of course, it shows that he has the ability to recognize people, although he is not as good as his nephew Ye Tianyi, but this still makes him very happy.
Ye Tianyi also smiled, of course he knew why his uncle was smiling.
Ye Tianyi didn't want his uncle to be too proud, so he couldn't help but admonish, and Ye Ming also scratched his head embarrassedly, and then chatted about some other things.
Just as the two were laughing and chatting, the office door was suddenly slammed open, and a security guard rushed in panting: "Dong, chairman, there's trouble down there." ”
