Chapter 508: A spark can start a prairie fire

Li Chencan's strong and confident eyes, it may be difficult for people who don't know him well to find the source, but everyone will also be infected by this kind of confidence, and then, slowly, they will find out that Li Chencan has proved where his confidence comes from.

It will take a while......

Even if Li Chencan always creates more and more miracles, it takes a certain time limit after all.

James. Bourne was also infected by Li Chencan's eyes, and he said: "Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Li, I have to say, in fact, I have always been looking forward to an opportunity to work with you, although I didn't expect that we would be in this situation when we cooperated, but what I want to say is that I think we should be able to reach a consensus, what do you think?" ”

"Just what you think." Li Chencan faced James. Byrne laughed, "I thought so too. ”

"Can you show me your next business plan for the publishing house? Of course, I know that this is a bit of an abrupt statement, but I still wish I could see it. ”

"As you wish."

Li Chencan put some rough business plans on James. In front of Bourne, the more James looked at it, the more surprised he became: "Mr. Li, are you saying that you will have other novels in the future?" ”

"Well, I already have a manuscript for the first volume of this novel." Li Chencan's expression didn't show anything strange.

"I would venture to ask, do you have such a great work as Harry Potter and other great works?" There was inevitable surprise in James' tone.

"Yes...... There's nothing ...... If it's a collaboration, I want you to see my new book in advance. There's nothing wrong with that. Li Chencan said with a smile.

When James heard this, he felt that what was happening in front of him should be predictable and true.

"Okay. All I can say is admiration...... Well, what I can say to you is that I have generally agreed to the matter, and I have no objection to your price, and it would be best if you were willing to give me a share. ”

Li Chencan said: "Thank you for your decision, of course. I also believe that one day you will be proud of your decision. Li Chencan smiled and said, "If you are willing, I also hope that you can stay with your previous efforts and hard work." Stay at Flint Press and do something more for this publishing house. ”

This is also Li Chencan's polite words, in fact, if James. If Bourne stays, this can be regarded as Li Chencan's extrajudicial favor. Of course. Li Chencan is not like this because he pities him. Li Chencan's main reason is that such a person who is completely familiar with the operation of American publishing houses can be able to make this publishing house do better. What's more, many of the authors who used to be commissioned by Flint Publishing House, after all, their connections are also tied to James. Byrne's.

Li Chencan also needs James to play his spare ...... Since he still has his own shares in the publishing house, and the publishing house is still his hard work, presumably James will not be lazy...... After determining so many things, Li Chencan handed over some of the power of the publishing house to him, of course. The supervision of the publishing house and the like still have to be put on oneself.

"Really?" James. Bourne immediately caught the meaning behind Li Chencan's words. He also became a little excited, and if it wasn't necessary, he would definitely not give up on his publishing house, which had been in business for many years.

"Yes...... That's some respect I have for you. Please accept it. Li Chencan said with a smile.

"That'...... I don't want to say too much, but I'm going to do my best to do these things well. James Byrne said gratefully, thinking that the publishing house still has its own shares, Li Chencan's attitude towards himself is also very good. Byrne felt his blood boiling and full of energy right now.

"Okay, then we'll have a good time working together." Li Chencan stretched out his right hand and James. Byrne shook his hand, and the matter was largely settled, and the next step was just a detailed negotiation...... As for the main responsible issues of the negotiations, they have special negotiators, and Zhong Bufan will also supervise them when the time comes.

Zhong Bufan will be busy with the affairs of Flint Press in the next few days.

However, before the two are separated, James . . . Byrne said to Li Chencan, "Mr. Li, what kind of new name do you plan to give to Flint Press?" ”

This sentence is not only James more concerned, even Zhong Bufan also shifted his attention and wanted to hear the new name in Li Chencan's mouth.

Li Chencan did not shirk this point, indeed, the publishing house needs a new name, not mainly to erase the traces of the past, but to prove that the publishing house has a new beginning.

"Let's call it SPARK......"

Li Chencan thought for a moment, and then said thoughtfully.

β€œspark? What do you mean? "James. Byrne asked with interest at this time, the name of SPARK that Li Chencan said felt a little similar to the previous flint. Because this SPARK means spark in English......

Zhong Bufan also said: "Is it the meaning of Mars? ”

Li Chencan smiled at him: "This translates to Chinese is not Mars, but should be Xinghuo, and Xinghuo is dismantled, the meaning is ...... A spark can start a prairie fire! ”

Li Chencan borrowed the famous words of Chairman Mao from another time and space.

"A spark can start a prairie fire." Zhong Bufan chewed the meaning of these eight words, glanced at Li Chencan, and thought of the poems he had written before, and really felt that this guy was worthy of Li Chencan, and he was really arrogant.

A spark can start a prairie fire, what a lot of confidence!

Moreover, for his situation at this moment, Li Chencan's eight words are also very accurate. Now his publishing house, isn't it just the feeling of a spark, it's still just a spark, but I believe that one day, it will be able to burn the prairie in the wasteland.

That day should not be far away!

"Okay, it's called Starfire! The name is really meaningful. Zhong Bufan said in Chinese: "I hope that the prairie will become a fire as soon as possible." ”

"A must."

…… Three days later, Flint Press was officially acquired for $5 million, and then Li Chencan injected $10 million into the publishing house, colleagues, the second part of "Harry Potter" also began to enter the publisher's agenda, and "Twilight" also began to plan...... However, the book should be published after Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and for now, the main goal will be on the publication of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

James Byrne and Zhong Bufan are both very motivated about this matter, especially Zhong Bufan...... Li Chencan's meaning also directly explained to him that as long as Zhong Bufan can show his efforts and work hard, then Li Chencan will not be stingy with the praise given to him, which may also be a stake in Xinghuo Publishing House or something...... Purpose, Li Chencan is definitely not a stingy person, Zhong Bufan can see this very clearly.

β€œOH…… It's a clever idea. ”

On this day, James. Byrne closed the fortieth page of Twilight: Twilight, the last page of the manuscript he had now, and closed his eyes gently, reminiscing about the contents of the novel in his mind.

This is Li Chencan's latest work, and it is also a new book that will be published after "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Byrne was always suspicious of Li Chencan's writing of two novels in an instant...... He also knew that when Li Chencan was in China, most of his time was spent singing, making movies and other things, and at that time he definitely didn't have the time and energy to write the three novels "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and "Twilight: Twilight", so he should have written these three novels in the United States, but in just a few months in the United States, he wrote three books?

This will be surprising and unbelievable no matter who you say it......

Not to mention that during this period of time, Li Chencan still has new songs such as "thriller" and "BAD", which are particularly popular in the United States, and Li Chencan seems to have been practicing dance these days! Such a guy, he actually wrote three novels.

Therefore, when he first started watching "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Twilight: Twilight", he was thinking about what kind of method he should use to remind Li Chencan euphemistically? Remind him that quantity is useless, the main thing is to be incisive in quality.

He had just received a lot of favors from Li Chencan, and now was the time to give Li Chencan a big job, if he rashly raised the issue of Li Chencan's new book now, he was advised to think about it...... Li Chencan might be annoyed and angry.

But when he looked down with such an embarrassed mood, he became more and more attracted to this plot......

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" not only did not appear in the problem that the quality of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was obviously inferior to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" as he imagined, on the contrary, there seemed to be a more mature sense of penmanship in terms of quality, the endless crisis rendering of the story, and the kind of storyline that seemed to be like a roller coaster, all of which made it impossible to escape the attraction that this book brought to their hearts. Byrne felt like he was thoroughly hooked on the Harry Potter series.

As for "Twilight", he has only read more than 40 pages, which is less than 40,000 words, but the story integrates things that young people like such as campus comedy, and also integrates some curious stories in the United States, and the storyline is also twists and turns, which makes people want to stop......

Both books are actually masterpieces! James thought, it seems that he still underestimated Li Chencan a little before, although his book is fast, but it is still so talented! (To be continued......)
