Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 588 I Have Inside Information

"Oh? Liang Han went to work in the company so early?"

Chen Qing called Mr. Zhang to ask about the simultaneous release of the Chinese version of "Zero Zero One" in the United States, but he did not expect that Zhang Zhong's attention was actually on how Liang Han went to work early.

"boss……"

"Understood, you can do it as you see it. If you have to give me an opinion, since you want to promote the Chinese version, don't consider the issue of efficiency. If you have any worries, you can sell it locally first, and pick up some more Chinese. pilot cities in other cities," Zhang Zhong said.

After receiving the instructions, Chen Qing also settled down, "Okay, I know what to do."

In fact, Chen Qing also wanted to promote the Chinese version regardless of the benefits, but he is a part-time worker after all, and he would not take this kind of decision that may bring losses to the company lightly. He called Zhang Zhong and said In order to get Zhang Zhong's approval.

"Oh, by the way, help me find some security experts, I will use them later."

"Okay, I will take care of this as soon as possible." Chen Qing also felt that the boss needed a security team, after all, he is not only a writer, but also a rich man.

……

"Li Lei, I have good news for you."

There is no long Spring Festival holiday here in the United States, and Chinese people abroad do not visit relatives. The fifth day of the Lunar New Year happens to be Saturday. Li Lei went to the local bookstore in the morning to buy a book, but just as soon as he arrived at the bookstore, Kane, the owner of the bookstore, mysteriously told him pulled aside.

"What good news?" Li Lei asked.

"Didn't you ask me last time if I could get the Chinese version of "Zero and One"? It will be available in a few days." Kane said.

"Really?" Li Lei looked surprised, and then asked, "Boss, how did you get it? Didn't you buy it from China and ship it here?"

"Of course not. The price is too high. I have inside information that the Chinese version will be released simultaneously in the United States in a few days."

"Really, I haven't heard about such an important matter. If there is such an event, my friends in China will definitely notify me as soon as possible."

"So it's internal news, and let me tell you, not only do I know that the Chinese version will be released in a while, but I also know that our Cupertino is the first batch of pilot cities. You heard it right, pilot, not Every city has a Chinese version on sale, and only cities like our Cupertino will have the opportunity to get it." Kane shared the news he knew with Li Lei proudly.

But Li Lei was skeptical. After all, Kane was just the owner of a local bookstore. How could he know inside information that no one else knew?
But of course he would not say this in front of Kane, he just smiled, "Then you have to leave me a few copies by then."

Kane patted his chest and said, "Of course, besides me, you are the first person in Cupertino to know the news. Even Mayor Cameron doesn't know about it."

"It makes me feel very honored, but if the news is accurate, I suggest you spread the news as soon as possible. After all, there are many bookstores in Cupertino now."

Reminded by Li Lei, Kane nodded and said, "You're right, I want to let others know earlier, and I'll get an advertising banner out later."

Kane's work efficiency is still very high. Not long after Li Lei left, banners were put up in his regional bookstore.

This banner is bilingual, including English and Chinese, and it says: A week later, the Chinese version of "Zero Zero One" magazine will be sold in our store, and everyone is welcome to buy it.

Not far from the regional bookstore, there is a newly opened bookstore called "Red Dragon".

The name of this bookstore is entirely due to the boss's misunderstanding of the Huaxia people.

He thought of a name with Chinese characteristics, and felt that red and dragon were Chinese characteristics, so he named it, but he didn't know that there was no bookstore with such a name in China.

The boss of Red Dragon came to open a bookstore after seeing so many books sold in Cupertino last time.

After the bookstore opened, the business was okay, neither good nor bad, but this situation was much worse than what the boss had imagined before.

Obviously their bookstore is bigger and the service inside is better, but local people still prefer to go to that old regional bookstore.

The owner is Swede Lindelof, and he keeps an eye on the regional bookstore diagonally across from him every day.

As soon as Kane pulled up the banner, Lindelof saw it.

He saw what was written in English on the banner at a glance.

"The Chinese version of "Zero and One", how is it possible? Could it be that this guy Kane shipped it from China? You can't make money like this. No, I'm going to ask Cyber ​​what's going on, no It's "Zero and One" that will be released in Chinese in the United States." Lindelof said to himself, while taking out his mobile phone to call the bookseller Cyber ​​that he usually contacts, but just took out the mobile phone After coming out, he looked at the banner hanging on the door of the local bookstore.

What is written in Chinese below?
It should mean the same as this sentence in English.

Lindelof guessed like this, but he was still not sure. He had to figure out what this Huaxia language was written in before calling Cyber.

For this reason, he specially went to a local Chinese, paid a translation fee of one hundred dollars, and finally confirmed that the meaning of this Chinese language is the same as that of English.

After suffering a loss of one hundred dollars, Lindelof secretly vowed that he must find a staff member who is proficient in Chinese.

In fact, the mobile phone can download some translators with scanning functions, but Lindelof doesn't know it.If he knew, he might feel that the 100 yuan was a waste of money.

I called Saibo, and after connecting, Saibo said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Victor, is the book I gave you last time sold out?"

"No, it will take at least a while before the stock is available. I'm calling to ask you something. Is the Chinese version of "Zero and One" magazine going to be released in the United States?"

"Of course not, why do you ask this?" Saibo asked strangely.

"Really? Did you not get the news yet?" Lindelof asked again.

"How is it possible, Victor, are you questioning my strength? In the book publishing industry, what I don't know, I don't think other booksellers in California will know either. I don't know where you heard the rumors, anyway. We don't have any news from here."

Hearing that Cyber ​​was so determined, Lindelof felt relieved, "Okay, I see, thank you, Cyber."

"You're welcome, but I've got a new batch of domestic detective novels here, do you want to get some over there?"

"Let's talk about it later."

After hanging up the phone, Lindelof folded his hands and looked at the banner on the door of the regional bookstore, smiling.

"Kane really bought books from Huaxia and sold them. This would definitely increase the price a lot. Does he think the locals will buy it?"

The employees of the bookstore saw that the boss was frowning just now, but now he was smiling, and they were a little puzzled. Didn't they say that the Swedes are very cold, but why their boss is completely different.
