What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

Thinking about their company, if they are struggling to death, they are just a little famous in China.

Although one cannot underestimate oneself, one must also be self-aware. Nowadays, Wen Siquanyong is indeed not at the same level as Random House!

Chapter 516 High-standard reception

"Warmly welcome: Mr. Li Chungang!"

"Welcome Mr. Li!"

Li Chungang, Lin Meng and a group of people had just walked out of the flight pick-up gate, and they saw a person holding a pick-up sign in both Chinese and English. When they got closer, they found that the person holding the pick-up sign was a A yellow-skinned young man who may not even be 30 years old.

When they saw each other, the yellow-skinned young man also recognized Li Chungang at a glance!

"You must be the Great God of Chungang!?" The yellow-skinned young man walked up quickly with a pick-up card in one hand and said enthusiastically, "Welcome to New York, the United States. My name is Jiang Qingyu, and I am a rice I am of Chinese descent, currently working as an intern review editor for Southeast Asia at Random House, this time the headquarters specially sent me to receive you."

Thanks to its own "yellow skin" advantage, it is still very popular in Southeast Asia. In addition, it is not only fluent in English communication skills, but also can speak authentic Chinese, so it is often called by Random House headquarters. Sent out as a candidate to receive invited writers from Southeast Asia.

Sometimes the workplace is like this, what the leaders often see is your outstanding point.

Whether you can make good use of your outstanding point to remove the word "internship" from your title depends on your ability.

"The company has arranged everything for you, please follow me."

Jiang Qingyu led the way in front of the crowd, and walked all the way to the outside of the airport. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw two "GMC Business Stars" that looked exactly the same on the side of the road.

Speaking of "GMC Business Star", this commercial vehicle designed and refitted by a famous refitting factory in the United States maintains the original style of the United States, and has excellent performance. It is a commercial vehicle with both fashion, luxury and business administration. Unseen, but beloved here in America.

In many movies or TV series, there has been a huge luxury business car, and it is often accompanied by everyone's idol, that is the GMC luxury business car. GMC luxury business car is called "high-end nanny car", not only because of its huge body, but also because of its inner luxury decoration and configuration.

Seeing the poker field in front of him, Li Chungang nodded silently.

If you want to see clearly how much Random House attaches importance to you, you can see a lot of problems from the side of receiving them and their group!

It looks like a big and unattractive GMC business star on the outside. You will feel the extreme luxury and involvement in it the moment you open the door and sit in.

Refrigerators, bar counters, wine cabinets, air purifiers, and electric massage aviation chairs that can rotate back and forth, etc., the equipment of the luxury suites of the hotel, are all available in the GMC Business Star car.The most eye-catching thing is the large-size LED high-definition shockproof LCD TV in front of you, and the BOSE audio installed in the whole car, which can definitely meet all the requirements of the distinguished guests.

"Master Chungang, and Mr. Lin, and then the two of you can sit in the car in front, and the rest can sit in the car behind." Jiang Qingyu made proper arrangements, knowing that a GMC Business Star There are only seven seats available, two drivers plus him, and Li Chungang and his party of eight, it is more than enough to sit in two cars.

Hilton Garden Inn New York Times Square South.

"The headquarters has already reserved rooms for everyone in advance. Except for the Great God Chungang and Mr. Lin, who are in the extra-large luxury suite with a view, the rest of them are two-by-one luxury double suites."

There is one thing to say, Penguin Random House's reception specifications for Li Chungang and his group are already quite luxurious, but the more this makes Li Chungang's doubts more intense, because he really can't understand what the other party's intentions are.

If you want to say that you are a "corporate of courtesy and virtuousness", you don't need to go to this level.

Don't look at the four words "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang" in the domestic literary circles, which are almost unknown to everyone, but overseas, apart from the famous Chinatowns in various places, foreign countries that know People are limited to the group of people who like to read novels at Longteng International Station.

With the enthusiastic help and guidance of Jiang Qingyu, a group of people successfully completed the registration and check-in of the hotel.

In fact, even without the presence of Jiang Qingyu, it would not be difficult for Li Chungang and others to check in at the hotel. Those who can be selected to follow the business trip to the United States are the elites of the elites in Wensiquanyong Company. Passing the English Level [-] is just the foundation , but also basic barrier-free oral English communication.

For Li Chungang and Lin Meng, two top students from Tsinghua University, this is not a matter of sprinkling water.

Finally, there is Qin Jingtian from the legal department. He is a talented person who has passed the English major.

Mainly considering that Jiang Qingyu was specially sent by Random House, no matter what, he had to give him a chance to show off, so he quietly let nature take its course.

After delivering everyone to their respective rooms one by one, Jiang Qingyu finally followed Li Chungang into the hotel room where he was staying. Looking at the spacious and unusual balcony in the view room and looking out, he could have a sweeping view of Times Square in New York , My heart is also very envious.

How can I say that Li Chungang is a man who owns two villas. Although the decoration of the luxurious suites in the Hilton Hotel is luxurious enough, it is not as good as the villas. Therefore, when he enters the room, his expression and performance are not the same as usual. different.

"Oh my god, this is the first time in my life that I've stayed in a five-star hotel!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! This decoration is too luxurious, too extravagant, it makes me a little uncomfortable."

"Hurry up, don't you see Times Square outside?"

"That's right, come and take a picture of me, I want to post on Moments!"

"..."

Different from the calmness of the three leaders, whether it is Lin Meng's secretary Liu Siqian, or the elite of the remaining four company elites selected by thousands of thousands of people, to put it bluntly, they are all young people who have just left the university campus. Except for the rich second generation hiding their identities to experience the hardships of society, no one at this age has ever seen a five-star hotel.

Then again, there is no rich second generation hiding their identities to experience the hardships of society. These are not all plots in TV dramas or novels.

"Master Chungang, today you can take a rest in the hotel to adjust the jet lag. If you are not tired, you can also go down and visit Times Square in New York. I will pick you up at the hotel at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to go to the company headquarters."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Although there are rests on the plane, after all, resting on the plane and sleeping in bed are two different things, and the fatigue relieved is different.

Chapter 517

"If the enemy does not move, I will not move."

"Maintaining the status quo!"

This is the "keynote" of this trip to the United States that Li Chungang and his team set before their departure. It seems that a plan has been formulated, but it is actually a form of passive beating. This is actually a situation of unequal information between the two companies. The next helpless move.

Without knowing why Penguin Random House is so "virtuous and corporal", Lin Meng and the others are not very good at making emergency countermeasures.

Fortunately, Li Chungang, as the author of "The Lord of the Rings", holds all the copyrights in his hands. As long as he has this in hand, he can at least guarantee that they can stand against Random House even if the information is not equal. The land of defeat!

—

Early the next day.

Just as Li Chungang and the others got up early in the morning with enough rest, while recharging their energy for the next trip to the headquarters of Random House, they could also enjoy a free buffet breakfast from the five-star Hilton Hotel for customers.

This is what the front desk said when they checked in last night. They are not deaf, so they can hear clearly.

"Master Chungang, Mr. Lin, Mr. Qin, good morning everyone."

"Mr. Jiang, you still need to take care of us in the next few days, so don't open your mouth and shut your mouth like a big god. I think you should be a few years older than me. If you don't mind, just call me... Xiao Lee."

"Xiao Xiao Xiao...Xiao Li!?"

Jiang Qingyu subconsciously stuttered a little because of Li Chungang's kind words. It's not like he hasn't met a famous writer who is amiable and friendly, or he has personally received him, but it's still a headache for someone who is so unassuming to Li Chungang's level. Encountered once.

And shouting "Xiao Li" or something...

"Don't, don't! I'll just call you Chungang."

As for "Little Li", just listen to it as a joke, don't take it seriously.There is a saying that does not mean: others are polite to you, and it is not the reason why you can make progress. Although Jiang Qingyu is still a small intern, being able to enter Random House as an intern at least proves his ability, so in the end A good way to deal with it is to have a good sense of proportion.

There were two GMC Business Stars when we came, and there were still two GMC Business Stars when we went.

It is not unreasonable to choose this Hilton Hotel not far from Times Square to receive their group. The main reason is that the night view is good when you live here, and you can see the world-famous Times Square in New York nearby. The boarding house is close enough to avoid the hardship of traveling and traveling.

Obviously, Penguin Random House is also well prepared.

When Li Chungang and his group got out of the car, they were surrounded by a large group of people from Random House before they had time to take a closer look at the appearance of the headquarters building of Random House. I found that this large group of people was headed by a blond foreign woman in the middle, and I was curious as to whether the other people looked at them more.

Although Penguin Random House is the world's largest commercial publisher, it is mainly aimed at overseas markets, and there are almost very few authors from Southeast Asia every year. Not to mention that someone like Li Chungang, who came from the distant and mysterious Hua Kingdom in the east, received such a high courtesy, which is very rare in recent years.

Even when the famous reasoning expert Keppel Ron from England was received the year before last, Caitlin, the vice president of the company, did not meet him in person, let alone the president. You must know that the president of Random House, Cape Town, is now He is almost 80 years old, and he has long since ceased to be involved in the management of the company's affairs. Therefore, in fact, the entire Random House is currently jointly managed by three vice presidents.

It's just that the three vice presidents have different jurisdictions and business areas, and they are mutually restrictive!

According to some gossip, the current situation in Cape Town, the president of Random House, is not very good. He is plagued by various geriatric diseases. If there is no accident, this year if it is near, or next year if it is far away, he may completely resign as president. It's not like this, seemingly not doing anything but still occupying this unique "throne".

The habit of "loving to join in the fun" is not the monopoly of ordinary people in Huaguo.

Even foreigners with different skin colors also like to join in the fun, otherwise the number of people receiving Li Chungang and them at the headquarters of Random House at this time would definitely not be as large as it is now, and most of them just happened to have nothing on hand. For important work, I deliberately went downstairs to join in the fun.

As editors, they may not like online novels from Huaguo, but they will never ignore the fact that more and more foreigners have been deeply influenced by Huaguo's online novel culture since Longteng International Station established its overseas website. This can be seen from the daily page views of the international station.

This time, Li Chungang, who was invited by Random House, with the pen name "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang", can get countless "answers" with a simple search on Google, including his achievements and honors in China, especially in China. After these foreigners learned that the average number of subscribers of his online works exceeds [-] million, as well as readers and fans, they couldn't help being surprised.

The editors of Random House thought that Li Chungang couldn't understand the English they whispered in low voices, just like they couldn't understand Huaguo's Mandarin anyway, but they were completely heard by Li Chungang , remember it in my heart.

This also captured a lot of useful information for him.

In particular, the blond woman standing in front of me, who was preliminarily judged to be between 35 and 40 years old, turned out to be one of the three vice presidents of Random House, and also the only female vice president.

Don't think that there is no so-called male chauvinism in foreign countries. Caitlin can have the position of vice president today because of her real ability over the years, and the world-renowned writers she has cultivated through her hands It is as high as two digits or more, which is a very remarkable achievement.

It's a pity that when she actually took the position of vice president, she realized that the "discrimination" against women has nothing to do with your position. It might have been better in the past few years, but as the old president's health became worse and worse , the two male vice presidents began to show their ambitions and sharp claws, and at the same time, there was a tacit understanding between the damned man who squeezed Caitlin together.

After all, Random House is not a family business. It is also composed of countless shareholders. It is up to the shareholders to decide who wants to become the president. How can we impress the shareholders to choose themselves? In the world, there is nothing that can move people more than direct benefits!

Chapter 518 Cause and Effect

If you continue to act according to the normal script...

As long as Cape Town normally loses the position of president, the candidate to take over will be Caitlin, who is capable and experienced enough to take charge of the entire company, but the bad thing is that the script did not follow the original content.

—

the year before last.

Caitlyn defied the crowd and poured Penguin Random House's vast resources into Keppel Ron, the suddenly famous English push-fiction rookie.

Even if Longteng Chinese.com is willing to put all its efforts into cultivating an author, as long as the things it writes are not flying, it can forcefully turn a cute new author into a great author, let alone Langdon from the world's number one commercial publishing house. Bookstore.

As long as it is willing to work hard, and a lot of resources are poured into the same person, with a little imagination, you can know how terrifying and huge this is.

Fortunately, Keppel Ron, who has received resources, is also competitive enough. In the next two years, the works published one after another are highly praised by fans of mystery books around the world, so that it only takes less than two years to complete. In just a short time, he has become a world-renowned master of mystery novels from a slightly famous rookie in mystery novels.

Don't underestimate the short title of "Famous Artist", because it not only means that it is recognized by fans of mystery novels all over the world, but also affirms its reputation in mystery novels all over the world!

It is precisely because of this act of pouring resources into the cultivation of Keppel Ron against all opinions that Random House has made a lot of money in the past two years, and it has also given Kaitlyn great support among shareholders. If it continues like this, if there is no accident, as long as Cape Town retires successfully, the position of president will be hers.

But something went wrong at such a critical juncture!

Caitlin's eyesight in seeing people and books is unquestionable, but no matter how good a person's eyesight is, it is not like X-rays that can penetrate the appearance and see into the inside of a person. .

She saw the potential in Keppel Ron, and also saw the excellence of the mystery novels created by Keppel Ron, but she didn't see the "white-eyed wolf" in Keppel Ron. Attributes.

"Caitlin, I'm sorry to tell you that the cooperation between us will be suspended from today."

"Que"

"What do you mean? Ron, today is not an April Fool's day, and I don't like this kind of behavior of making jokes."

"I'm not kidding you, Ms. Caitlin."

"Then what do you mean the cooperation between us will be forced to suspend? You must know that there is a breach of contract clause in the cooperation agreement we signed at the beginning."

"Don't worry about this, Ms. Caitlin, someone will be willing to pay me for this small amount of money!"

"you……"

Maybe it's because of the kindness of knowing you, maybe it's because Ron has been cultivated by himself, maybe it's because Ron has never behaved like this on weekdays, maybe it's... There are too many possible reasons, Caitlin The son can't find the reason, but one thing is certain is that Keppel Ron, the white-eyed wolf, betrayed him!

"Is it Oswald, or is it Geoffrey?"

After all, she is a strong woman who is firmly seated in the position of vice president on her own. After being a little flustered after hearing the news at the beginning, she quickly returned to the calm and confident Caitlyn. The thing to do is to find out who is digging his own corner.

After all, Keppel Ron's departure has become a settlement. From the decisive tone of the other party, it can be judged that it is futile to retain him, and it is wise to stop the loss in time!

It was only ten minutes before and after.

The news that Keppel Ron took the initiative to suspend the cooperative relationship with Caitlin and completely invested in the camp of another vice president, Oswald, spread throughout the Random House headquarters.

At Random House, because of the confrontation between the three vice presidents, the employees are naturally divided into three factions. The people who originally followed Caitlin's faction were naturally ashamed after hearing the shocking news. Haha, and those who follow the Oswald faction are as happy as the new year, and the rest of the Jeffrey faction can only stand on the sidelines.

"One emperor, one courtier" is applicable both abroad and at home.

It is not difficult to imagine that if Oswald is to succeed in becoming the president, those who once supported Caitlin will inevitably suffer some "cleansing".

At the same time, Caitlin's office gathered a group of "powerful people". If you look carefully, you can find Thompson's fat and bloated figure among these people.

Shareholders who only have the word "interest" in their eyes don't care about the open and secret struggle between the three vice presidents. As long as Keppel Ron doesn't leave Random House and is the "cash cow" of Random House, with whom? What does cooperation matter?

After talking on the phone with several shareholders of Random House, Caitlin returned to her office immediately, and looked at the capable generals standing in front of her, so she didn't waste time at such a critical moment of success or failure, and went straight to the point : "Who do you have any good ideas!?"

"Why don't we also poach President Oswald's corner?"

"Nonsense! It's not important to dig out the author, what matters is the work. Tell me, among the well-known authors under Oswald, which one is going to publish a work in the near future?"

"You say I'm talking nonsense, then I want to hear what good ideas you have!"
