Chapter 214: The shadow of the international branch, "Twilight" is on fire
"How's your book selling?"
Angelina came on the other end of the phone. Julie's voice.
"It's not bad, it sold 20,000 copies on the first day, but I couldn't be happier."
Link joked that he hadn't seen Julie for more than three months, and he could only contact him via international calls.
Zhu Li giggled: "Twenty thousand copies, that's a lot." So, my little fool has become a great writer? ”
Hearing Julie's affectionate nickname, Link couldn't help but sigh: "Julie, I'm about to miss you, when will you come back?" ”
Julie also stopped laughing, why didn't she want her little lover? But......
"Little fool, my sister misses you too." Angelina. Julie couldn't help but sigh: "You haven't been to Africa, you don't know what kind of world it is here." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I wouldn't have believed that many people here still live in primitive societies......"
Angelina. Julie sighed as she told what she had seen and heard, and Link frowned slightly as she listened.
"I'm ......" In the end, Zhu Li said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid it will take a while for me to return to China." ”
"Is there any trouble?" Link asked, frowning. In his opinion, the United Nations gave Julie the title of 'ambassador', which is actually no different from hype. When a United Nations ambassador needs a female star to be the person, then the ambassador's responsibility can only be as simple as getting more people to pay attention.
Zhu Li nodded lightly: "Yes, I encountered a little trouble." There are no news agencies at all. Satellite signals also come and go. In addition, we are not far from a country that is in the midst of a civil war, and although it is also divided by countries, it is actually more tribal rule. A lot of things cannot be done by normal international conventions, alas. ”
Hearing that Julie began to sigh again, Link's heart was also tight: "There is still a war there?" You won't be in any danger, will you? ”
Hearing that her little lover was nervously concerned about herself, Zhu Li smiled happily with the corners of her mouth curled: "Yes, it's so dangerous here, maybe I'll ...... it someday."
"Shut up!" Link roared angrily: "Silly woman, Lao Tzu has long said that he will not let you be a United Nations ambassador. I see that those people in the United Nations are full and have nothing to do, fuck them. ”
Listening to Link's fierce scolding, Zhu Li not only didn't have any anger. On the contrary, I still feel warm in my heart.
At the end, Link asked a little weakly, "If you need me, just say it." Let's start with it, I'm not for some bullshit UN. I'm here to get you back sooner. I've been abstinent for months, and I'm going crazy, you know? ”
Julie giggled again and covered her mouth and snickered: "You are still really stupid to say that you are a little fool, aren't there two big beauties Mira and Jessica surrounding you?" Why, haven't you eaten them yet? ”
"Ahem." Link coughed a few times, he didn't want to eat those two delicious little sheep, and they were the kind that were beautiful and delicious. But every time he tried to attack, the two little sheep would turn into tigresses and kick him out.
It was as if he could hear the embarrassment in Link's voice. Angelina. Zhu Li didn't say much, but said solemnly: "If you say help." There's really a need for you here. ”
"Oh? What exactly? Link's eyes lit up, of course he didn't say it casually, if he spent some money to get Julie back to him sooner, he would still be happy.
Besides, even though Julie was protected by the United Nations, Link still felt very worried.
"TV station!" Zhu Li suddenly said these words, which made Link froze slightly.
But Julie continued: "There are hardly any TV stations here, and the calculation is only in some relatively peaceful countries. If you could invest in a few TV stations here, I think the whole of Africa would be different. This is a great thing that will go down in history, and you should not miss it. ”
Link couldn't help but pout: "Julie, you won't be addicted to being an ambassador, right, this kind of obviously fooling people, you actually opened your mouth and came?" And it flickered on my head? ”
"Giggle......" Julie laughed again: "Okay, don't think I don't know your thoughts, you must be stealing fun now, aren't you?" ”
Link couldn't help but laugh: "It's still my Julie who understands me, and I suddenly found that there are still some benefits to being a UN ambassador." ”
The two of them kept playing dumb riddles until something was agreed, and Link hung up the phone.
"Well, my brother's first international branch has been dropped. Forehead...... Although it is ...... Africa"
Angelina. What Julie meant, Link actually understands very well. And he is also very happy to open the branch of CAA TV to Africa, whether there is any profit to be made in this put aside, if he can make friends with some African politicians, it would be great.
War! Definitely an integral part of journalism.
CAA's current news-gathering capabilities are limited to the United States.
If we can open a branch station in Africa, then CAA TV's news reporting capacity will be improved a lot.
Also, the reason why Link agreed so happily was actually because of those things in his head.
Libyan civil war, riots in Egypt. Moving, Gaddafi...... These keywords are all relevant to Africa.
"If it is more difficult to be the No. 1 TV station in North America, then it shouldn't be much of a problem to be the No. 1 TV station in Africa, right?"
Link thought as he began to wipe a cold sweat.
However, the matter of the first international branch of CAA TV is still relatively far away. Link is more concerned about the sales of "Twilight".
It's already the afternoon of the fourth day of "Twilight", and the routines about this debut novel on the Internet can be called hot.
Although most people are criticizing the end of "Twilight", and some people even ask him to make changes, Link just smiled indifferently and didn't really take it to heart.
Seeing that the time was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, there were not many things in the company at this time, and Link planned to drive around to feel the scene.
However, as soon as he walked out of the office, he saw Fat Jack and Rust standing there with a smile, as if they were waiting for him.
"What? Don't you have to work? Beware of me withholding your pay. ”
Link couldn't help but pout as soon as he saw the two of them laughing so obscenely.
Fat Jack was still laughing, and winked at Link: "Little boss, do you want to go out and investigate the sales of "Twilight"?" ”
Before Link could answer, Rust spoke: "It's almost time to get off work, so let's go with the little boss." ”
Link didn't even say a word of refusal, and was carried out of the building by the two of them.
Along the way, Lust and Fat Jack always looked like they were smiling, as if they had grabbed the handle of Link or something, so that Link couldn't figure out what it was after thinking about it.
Not long after, the three of them came to the door of a large book supermarket. Link lowered the window glass and saw an oversized sign placed in the most prominent position, which read: "Don't squeeze inside, customers, it's already overcrowded." The survival of "Twilight" is running out, and those who want to buy it should register at the temporary help desk. ”
Beyond the conspicuous oversized sign, Link saw a crowd of people.
The first thing that caught my eye was the service desk, which was already surrounded by three layers of people and three layers outside. Several staff members are sweating profusely doing hierarchical work, and those who are scrambling to register are also uncomfortable, and now they are competing to see who has the loudest voice.
All kinds of heart-wrenching roars kept coming from afar: "My name is John D. Karen, and I have three copies of The Twilight Zone." ”
"My name is Kelis. Root. Nagar, I pre-order two copies of Twilight. ”
"My name is six, my name is ......"
"My name is 'the ...... of the cat next door to the neighbor of the little citizen from London'"
"Stop! Do you dare to make your name a little longer? ”
"Damn, isn't the screen name good? I didn't say that I had to have a real-name system. ”
"I ......"
……
It was chaotic enough, but when Link looked up the steps, he suddenly realized that he didn't know how many people were shooting a zigzag S-shaped procession, stretching all the way down the road.
Seeing this hot scene, Link couldn't help but laugh. It's just that the fat men next to them, Jack and Rust, are obviously smiling even more happily.
"Little boss, it's really tall." Fat Jack stretched out a thumbs up and smiled very obscenely: "I'll just say, the little boss's hype method is first-class ......"
"Wait." Link's face darkened and he cried out, "Damn, which eye did you see me hype?" I rely on strength, strength, do you understand? ”
Lu Si on the side patted him on the shoulder, and said with a strange look: "Little boss, don't be modest." Strength or something, where can it compare to hype. ”
The two guys, you and I, praised Link's hype methods to the sky, and I just didn't believe that Link had any writing ability.
Link on the side was about to cry, and muttered aggrievedly: "I haven't hyped it, I'm completely relying on my own strength, it's pitiful to see ......"
It's just that, no matter how Link explains, Fat Jack and Luthter just don't believe it. However, the only thing that can make Link feel happy is the hot scene in front of him. (To be continued......)
