Interests can make a lot of unimaginable things happen. A lot, including any.
After summing up, Hong Guang and Wang Jin, who had decided to come to Chen Zhuo every day to talk about this matter, did indeed proceed according to the plan.
From the day they set their strategy, Fanxing Publishing House has two more suits and leather shoes, in Fanxing Publishing House, people walk in five or six, and from time to time someone greets them, as the leader of the opponent, they are still more kind in the eyes of the staff of Fanxing Publishing House. Of course, the cordial and the unkind always like to be in one place, and some people think that they are not at all affectionate, and even think that they are hateful.
Because they always come to chat with you in a period of time every day, affect the progress of your work, and drink your Longjing tea, if there is something to come, they always can't forget to explain their secretary, come to contact the feelings, the reputation of the world is not peaceful, must confirm that they are still alive, and report their cordial and sincere concern. Chen Zhuo's life was really exhausted, and he even reflexively felt uncomfortable when there was no phone call or people coming over at the time.
The most brutal punishment in the world is not the direct torture of the **, but the spiritual despair of the boiled frog.
Although it is not good to use such a means against one's partner and opponent, it is easy to lose face in a place that you have never been to, but it is a matter of interests, face can be recovered, the pain is for a while, and the money will not go into your pocket at the door for a while. Moreover, since it has been decided, it is necessary to do it, anyway, there is a little partner by your side, and you will encourage each other spiritually. Therefore, Hong Guang and Wang Jin were in the stove of the warm water pot, persistently adding firewood, maintaining the water temperature unhurriedly, and also maintaining patience.
……
……
As the days passed, the water became hotter and hotter, and the frogs gradually became tired. Chen Zhuo also gave in.
No way, one person's patience is always better than the persistence of four people, Hong Guang and Wang Jin's secretary's mobile phone fee will be reimbursed in the company, and it is very easy to call.
Submission is submission, submission is also divided into degrees, in terms of time, the editor-in-chief Chen Zhuo is still fighting for reason, although this reason is not very sufficient, but it is enough, at least to set up a solid line of defense for his disagreement. In the end, the situation was deadlocked for most of the day, and from all aspects, the presidents of the three largest publishing houses in Fengshi set a date, neither backward nor forward, and could also take advantage of the east wind of the Golden Cup Literary Competition. In the deliberations of the trio, the official sale date of "Harry Potter" will be the day when the final of the Gold Cup Literary Contest ends and the top five prizes are awarded.
In their cognition, Lin Feng will definitely be able to win the first place in the Golden Cup Literature Competition, and when the time comes, when the award is awarded, after adding Lin Feng's first few times, this rumor is definitely a masterpiece, this is a free advertisement, even if you don't want to buy it, when you look at it on TV, the first person pays attention to it, and is shocked in his heart, and it will definitely be okay if he has less money in his pocket. By then......
Originally, the idea had been decided, everything was fine, Chen Zhuo was less tormented, and after two days of discomfort, life returned to calm, which was considered a relief; And although Hong Guang and Wang Jin are not quite satisfied, they can be regarded as satisfied. It's all good. In the midst of a relieved smile and a satisfied smile, an episode of things happened, and it was unknowable.
Lin Feng gloriously withdrew from the competition in the top ten, the game is not over, the finals have not yet arrived, people have withdrawn, then the day he wins the first place in the finals will be that day, and when the competition is over, Lin Feng will be on the stage when the channel broadcasts live? The set day does not exist anymore, can this be reached?
Although things are always sudden, they don't go the way people think. People always leave a trace of readiness in the deepest part of their hearts to accept the one in a billion possibilities. But preparation is not a reality that has already passed. This is almost a finalized thing, it has changed, it has become and it is far away, but it is difficult for people to accept,
It's hard to accept that this situation is also divided, Chen Zhuo is much better than Hong Guang and Wang Jin, and the days are far away, and this money can come in more. However, what if the days of frequent visitors and phone calls are coming?
His worries are very reasonable, it is really difficult to accept that the two editors-in-chief Hong Guang and Wang Jin, who are very speechless, did not let Chen Zhuo wait until the next day, this afternoon about the Jinbei Literary Contest and Lin Feng and a bowl of soup incident, the two of them came to Chen Zhuo's office together, and tasted Longjing tea in the position that they had done several times before. Because there is a lot of tea leaves, the taste of tea is very strong, and Chen Zhuo's heart is also very painful, a box of top-grade Longjing just prepared!
Because of the heartache, Chen Zhuo has been silent, facing Hong Guang and Wang Jin's endless talking, bilingual, he just entertained a few words from time to time, dragging on today is tomorrow. Not only let them think about avenging their Longjing tea after not sleeping all night, but also give themselves a slow time to think about how to deal with this matter.
Suddenly, the taciturn Chen Zhuo made a good wishful thinking in his heart, but wishful thinking, usually has a characteristic - he can only fight in his heart, and it is very difficult to start in reality.
At least, Hong Guang and Wang Jin won't let his abacus play too loudly, so the two of them drink a lot of tea, because their mouths are dry, because they talk too much.
If you have an earbud, in the face of buzzing mosquitoes, even if the earbud is completely soundproof, it will not have much effect, there is it in front of you or they are flying vigorously in the air, so even if you are annoyed, it can only be very annoying. And in such a situation in front of you, you can't bring earplugs, you can't wear them, you can't see them from front of you, and you can't see them at all, after all, it's not easy to pretend to be invisible to two humanoid objects of that size, even if you close your eyes, they will be swaying.
Therefore, Chen Zhuo decided to give in, and once again gave in.
Submission is not a good word in many cases, especially between nations. Although the number and weight of publishing houses are not comparable to those of countries, it has to be said that publishing houses and countries are essentially the same. Since it is the same, there will always be some unpleasant feeling in my heart about signing a treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country.
With such unhappiness, the tripartite talks officially began after a period of nonsense.
"Lao Hong, Lao Wang, in fact, I think that since the time we set last time was destroyed by today's series of sudden times, it is the will of heaven, it is better to wait for a while. Let's find a place to talk about it in detail after a few months. I wonder what the two of you think? Although we are going to talk about it, Chen Zhuo did not say it directly, it is still necessary to take a twisted route, which involves interests, and it is also appropriate to take a few more turns.
After a pause, Chen Zhuo didn't wait for Hong Guang and Wang Jin to speak, and continued his words.
"When the time comes, we can invite Mr. Lin to discuss how to deal with this matter. Last time, our decision was too hasty, and we didn't even notify Mr. Lin, he is a major shareholder, I have been thinking just now, if our last decision was not opened so hastily and Mr. Lin was notified, then what about this time, such trouble? Isn't that right, I think we can wait for a while and meet with Mr. Lin, who is now in school, and we can't always disturb people's normal life. Chen Zhuo said with a smile, pulling Lin Feng out to delay time, the distorted route has gone too far, maybe, the problem will be solved halfway, this is his plan.
"Ahem, Lao Chen, since Mr. Lin is busy, don't bother him, don't seem like we don't understand people and don't know things." Hong Guang coughed twice and said. At the same time, he scolded in his heart, Lao Chen, this bastard, even used such an excuse in order to delay time, there is no humanity, and he still has to be shameless!
"Lao Hong, you are joking, Mr. Lin will not be like this. Although I have only met Mr. Lin once, I absolutely believe that Mr. Lin will not make us sad because of the problem of sales time, after all, Mr. Lin is a gentle person, and in addition, I also feel one thing from that contact with Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin does not like trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given us power. Lao Chen, you still follow what you said, don't disturb people's lives. Wang Jin on the side said immediately after Hong Guang's words. Smiling, I look like I see through you completely. Also, after fighting for so many years, they all know the roots, who can fool whom!
"Huh." Chen Zhuo's face remained unchanged, and after smiling, he said, "Then according to your thoughts, Mr. Lin may not need to explain." ”
Listening to what Chen Zhuo said, Hong Guang and Wang Jin glanced at each other, smiled, and understood each other's meaning, this old Chen was addicted to tricks.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what do you value that day? Let's take a look at the schedule of things in each company. Chen Zhuo didn't care about the eye contact between Hong Guang and Wang Jin, when Lin Feng agreed to divide the matter with the three publishing houses, and after the contract was signed, Yunluo and the Tianxingfeng City Branch went a lot together, and there were faint signs of uniting two to one. Chen Zhuo didn't care about this, as long as he held Lin Feng's hand firmly, not to mention them, what were they afraid of.
"I think tomorrow will be good." Hong Guang picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile. The laughter is very meaningful, and the words are even more meaningful.
"Lao Hong's opinion is good, I also see it this way, I agree." As soon as Hong Guang's words fell, Wang Jin agreed. He also has a meaningful smile on his face.
After listening to the words of the two old rivals, Chen Zhuo was speechless, should you be so blatant, the same three major publishing houses, two of them join forces, and deal with one, is there anything to be proud of? Hide at least half of it! Moreover, at this time, how can it be advanced due to events, I originally thought that the date of the finals would be at least next month, but now it is good, the finals are no show, there is no deadline, and the days are still advanced. They're pretty good at calculating!
"Tomorrow won't work, now it's not even ten hours until tomorrow, it's too rushed." Chen Zhuo refused directly, and he didn't say too many perfect and high-grade excuses, just a matter of time to refuse.
"It's not in a hurry, as long as it's all moving, it's no problem at all, it's still more than two hours away from Xianman, but it's still a while before it gets dark, so you can work overtime, for Mr. Lin's masterpiece that can create history to meet with the majority of readers as soon as possible, everyone has nothing to do with a little hard work." As soon as Chen Zhuo finished speaking, as soon as the question was raised, Wang Jin solved the problem with a smile.
"Overtime, but we have to pay overtime pay, of course, I'm not saying that we can't afford overtime pay, everyone knows that our star's work benefits are the best in our market. I'm just worried that this won't be good for everyone's work outside of work, so I don't think so. A sudden overtime will disrupt everyone's life, so forget it. Find the right time! Chen Zhuo said with a smile. It's a bit messy, and it doesn't seem to be able to distinguish too many key points, but it has attracted Hong Guang and Wang Jin's secret scolding in the bottom of their hearts, and it's okay to take out overtime pay as a reason, and even specifically said that the industry is the highest, grandma's, Chen Zhuo's guy is getting more and more insidious! There are more and more eyes in the heart.
There is a difference between the inside and the outside, this is a compulsory course that should be mastered by people in the same industry who are involved in conflicts of interest, although Chen Zhuo is talking in his heart, but Hong Guang's smile on the surface is still extraordinarily bright. He said.
"Lao Chen, we will also face these problems, but for the sake of the majority of readers, we will have the courage to solve this problem, you won't even have this responsibility. Lao Chen, your ideological realm must be improved! ”
"Yes, Lao Chen, you've been the president for some years, don't you have any consciousness at all?" Wang Jin followed and added fuel and vinegar.
Two old foxes, Chen Zhuo secretly cursed in his heart.
"Hehe, what the two of you said makes sense, Lao Hong, in order to brew emotions last year, those books dragged out for a long time, and Lao Wang, you have advertised that poetry collection for a year, when are you going to release it!" Chen Zhuo smiled sincerely, revealing the old background of the two peers in front of him. If you are oppressive to readers, you also have to make sure that you are not afraid of the chair tilt!
"Ahem." Listening to Chen Zhuoyi's obvious words, Rao is a little hot with the faces of Hongguang and Wang Jin, and they are not able to reach the realm of being talked about by people on their faces, but they have nothing to do.
"Lao Hong, Lao Wang, it's better to be here today, so that readers are looking forward to it, oh, no, we have only circulated a few pieces of news in the publicity, and the big publicity has not been done yet, and not many people are looking forward to it. It's still brewing. Chen Zhuo said with a smile, it feels good to grasp the initiative, very powerful!
"Lao Chen, what you said is a little wrong, Mr. Lin's fame and talent are here, not to mention that there are a few small advertisements circulating, but there is no one, as long as the book is put anywhere, someone will read it, and as long as you look at the sales, there will be no problem. Your question is not valid, let's just tomorrow, Mr. Lin should have a move tomorrow, so we can borrow a lot of east wind. Wang Jin said lightly, directly ignoring the first half of Chen Zhuo's hidden words on the topic just now.
This time, Hong Guang didn't help, just took a sip of tea with a smile on the side, and tasted it slowly, this is a threat to action, and what he understands is to tell Chen Zhuo, your tea here is good.
"Lao Wang, what you said, why don't I understand it? What else will Mr. Lin do tomorrow? Wang Jin's words made Chen Zhuo stunned, he hadn't been in contact with Lin Feng for a while, he frowned slightly for a moment, could they have contacted in private, and then said calmly.
"Hehe, Longteng University will hold an orientation party tomorrow night, I think Mr. Lin should have a show, and Mr. Lin's works must be worth paying attention to." Wang Jin saw Chen Zhuo's brow for a moment, but he didn't use this to make Chen Zhuo misunderstand and make himself look unfathomable. It's not that it can't be verified, such a misunderstanding is boring, and it's easy to be used by people if it's not good.
Nodding, Chen Zhuo did not speak, but fell into deep thought, and Wang Jin and Hong Guang stopped talking.
The office was quiet for a while, and Chen Zhuo raised his head and said.
"Lao Hong, Lao Wang, tomorrow is too hurried, and if Mr. Lin performs tomorrow, it should also be a song, so it has little to do with books, and when the time comes, everyone may pay more attention to the good production of the empire, and the book will be left out in the cold. I don't agree with tomorrow. ”
"Lao Chen, this worry about you, Lao Wang and I have thought about it, this situation does not exist at all, whether it is a song or a book, it is Mr. Lin's. If the book starts to be released and sold tomorrow, it will not only be with the help of Mr. Lin's fame, but also the aftermath of today's incident in the Jinbei Literary Competition, as well as the influence of Longteng University, this is not one plus one equals two, this should be greater than two. Hong Guang said with a smile.
"Tomorrow is too rushed, I don't agree with tomorrow, I can't let the members of my club work overtime without vaccinations because I can take advantage of the multi-shareholder wind. As the editor-in-chief, you must also be considerate of your subordinates, otherwise it will be very difficult to carry out the work in the future. Chen Zhuo shook his head and said.
Although it was very humane and warm, Hong Guang and Wang Jin heard it and did not agree to release it tomorrow.
After glancing at each other with Hong Guang, Wang Jin spoke, "Lao Chen, what time do you think is appropriate, of course, this time does not include the time to discuss with Mr. Lin?" ”
"It will be released at the end of the year, so that everyone can read it during the Chinese New Year without affecting work." Chen Zhuo tentatively proposed.
"Lao Chen, we're talking about serious things, don't make the same joke as just now." Wang Jin said in an unkind tone, It's still the end of the year, and the school will be on holiday at the end of the year, is there any difference between letting Lin Feng participate in the discussion, changing the soup without changing the medicine, and changing it is addictive.
"I'm a ......" After listening to Wang Jin's words, he wanted to explain the reason, but Chen Zhuo, who had dragged the time past today, suddenly changed his mind. Wang Jin and Hong Guang have both talked about this, will they continue to grind, they are not sure of a specific date, they will not give up, and if they can't make the bargaining organized by themselves, they will sing a one-man show by themselves.
His thoughts turned a few times in his mind, and Chen Zhuo said.
"December 12th, the last even-numbered day of the year, prepare for a grand day for Harry Potter's appearance."
Hong Guang and Wang Jin didn't speak, just sipping tea comfortably, looking at Chen Zhuo, the meaning is obvious, you say a lot of flowers, if you don't satisfy us, this matter will not be over!
