The Goddess Shines on America

　　 Monday, the first day of work, today will be the same day as before, Brown thought of it when he walked into the editorial room.

　　 This is Bantam Books in Manhattan, New York. As a senior editor, Brown has spent fifteen years in three publishing houses. Now even his son is in elementary school. So, you can imagine how many wonderful novels he has read, and how many creative manuscripts he has viewed.

　　 Only recently, the number of submissions to the company has dropped a lot. Even with the fact that he can't pick out a good book, Brown hasn't achieved performance for a long time.

　　 "Leanna, how many are there today? Can you make up 20 copies?"

　　 Before his **** was hot, the secretary Leanna walked towards him with a cup of coffee: "There are only seven books in total. Are you going to read it now or take a break?"

　　Brown raised his coffee and frowned: "Seven books? Are you sure you are not talking about seventeen books?"

　　 "It's seven books, yes, Mr. Brown, I know what you mean. Last Friday, the number was still fifteen, but today it has dropped by half. That's it."

She was clearly talking about things that would be bad for the company, but Leanna's expression remained calm: "However, the weight of the express delivery has not changed. They are all novels. If you read them one by one, it is estimated that the weight is about the same as the fifteen books. "

　　 Brown nodded, which is also a characteristic of the book publishing industry. Quantity cannot determine quality, and the benefits of a high-quality work are definitely several times that of ordinary books.

　　 Think about the Lord of the Rings back then. They have been selling well since the 1950s, so that the slogan is so arrogant: There are only two kinds of people in the world, those who have seen the Lord of the Rings and those who are about to watch it.

　　 Therefore, with the gradual development of the book culture industry throughout the United States, the responsibility of editors becomes even more important. After all, if someone can unearth a work as valuable as the Lord of the Rings, just its value at the time is enough to compare to several bestsellers this year!

　　 "Hey, it's like finding a needle in a haystack..."

　　 Looking at the manuscript that Lyanna sent him immediately, Brown sighed with great helplessness.

　　 "What are you sighing about again? The recent work pressure?"

　　 After putting down the manuscript, Lyanna was not in a hurry to leave. While asking, she looked at the floor-to-ceiling window behind Brown.

　　The prosperous core area of ​​Manhattan, with jagged skyscrapers, at a height of 100 meters above the ground, pedestrians are just busy ants. This fashion is early in the morning, if it is changed to sunset or even late at night, it will definitely give people a feeling of "empty and lonely", especially for those who work hard outside.

　　 "Work pressure? Oh, of course, Leanna, just look at the number of recent submissions."

Brown opened the courier and said: "Five! In the last month, only one Manhattan, five large-scale publishing houses have been registered! Look at their overwhelming publicity and see the benefits they give authors. Treatment! Let's look at the diminishing quantities here!"

　　 "Do you want more or less work?"

Leanna still stood calmly in front of him: "As for competition from other publishing houses, that is something that Chairman Speck should worry about. Can't you just do your job well? Could it be that Mr. Brown? I can’t afford the loan for my monthly salary, and I’m about to get a divorce?”

　　 "...Leanna, why did I persuade you to sign a ten-year contract?"

　　 "Of course, your eyes are like a torch, and you have recognized my talent as a secretary."

　　 Qifen Express had all dismantled. Faced with the seven heavy manuscripts, Brown waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, you go out first, I still have to read the manuscript."

　　 "Then, shall I make you another cup of coffee, or the Starbucks opposite?"

　　 "You can give me a quick walk outside the company."

　　After Leona left, Brown began to read the first manuscript slowly.

　　 This is undoubtedly a full-length novel. Probably the plot takes place in Georgia. After only reading the first chapter, Brown knew it was just a plagiarism. It's too similar, except that the location must be different, it seems to be a copy of "Gone with the Wind", Scarlett is replaced by Jiasli, and Berry is replaced by Rickard. The author's research on spelling is very good.

　　 "What kind of rubbish, it's a shame that he can write hundreds of thousands of words!"

But this is still not in the eyes of Brown. After all, "Gone with the Wind" is a must-read in his school literature class. As an editor with 15 years of experience, if he can't even see this plagiarism, then the whole bantam It should all go bankrupt.

　　 Then, Brown started to read the next manuscript, which is typically a mystery novel. According to the statement at the beginning of the story, a married woman was strangled to death in a closed room. The story took place in the small island resort mansion on a rainy night, and all the characters on the scene were limited to ten people. What the reader and the protagonist of the story have to do is to find out the real culprit with the same limited conditions under these limited conditions.

"This is good, but isn't this environment a bit too coincidental? A small island on a rainy night, a holiday mansion, there are a total of ten people, or a secret room case. Hey, the authenticity is not good, but it is very interesting as a gimmick and setting... No! "

　　 After reading it quickly, Brown turned over dozens of pages in only ten minutes, and was stunned to see that the follow-up to the entire manuscript was actually another work.

　　 "The reasoning series? It will take a lot of experience to identify it, so let's put it aside."

　　So, when secretary Lyanna brought afternoon tea, Brown had read all seven manuscripts.

　　 "It's just that this reasoning series has a bit of book value, and the others are not good."

　　 Lazily leaning against the back of the chair, Brown was sipping his coffee comfortably while looking out the window at the skyscrapers. It just so happened that a helicopter flew over from a distance. It was a routine patrol of the New York Police Department.

　　 Just then, Leona walked in again.

　　 "Mr. Brown, the front desk received another courier, which is also a manuscript."

　　Brown waved his hand, turned his chair to face the French window, and slowly said with a coffee cup: "I will read these seven books today. Put that copy away first. It won't be too late to read it tomorrow."

"Mr Brown?"

However, Leanna didn't mean to leave, she still stood in place: "You said this morning, why there are only seven copies, why are so few, so I specifically called FedEx to let them speed up the delivery of more packages. Mr. Brown, please don't spoil the support of your subordinates for your work, okay?"

　　 Brown's eyebrows twitched subconsciously, even though he was facing the door now, he could clearly feel the cold breath behind him.

　　 "Um...Leanna, I just complained casually, why did you call FedEx specifically? Expedited is not convenient..."

　　 "Of course it counts on you. For those of us who work hard for the company, how can we be ashamed to ask the company to pay for the expedited fee? Are you right?"

　　 "Cough! Cough cough cough!"

　　 "Ah Mr. Brown, please drink slowly. This is toilet paper, then this is the manuscript, and finally, this is a check for the express fee. It is made payable to your name. Please collect it."

　　 Watching Lyanna's small enchanting steps when she went out, Brown sighed deeply.

　　 "Well, I haven't eaten my Black Forest cake yet."

　　 Seeing that there are a lot of words in the manuscript before him, he shook his head, pushed aside the rich afternoon tea, and began to read this one.

　　 "Jurassic Park"

　　 Very...unknown to be terrible.

　　 This is how Brown felt when he saw the title of the book.

Of course he knows what the Jurassic is, does the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous, crawl around everywhere; of course he knows more about what the park means, flowers, flowers, and grassy stone roads, and he still goes for a walk in Central Park every weekend Used to it.

　　 But putting these two words together, he was a little confused.

　　 The dinosaurs of the Jurassic era built a park, and then everyone talked about falling in love, catching bees, playing football... Is it a children's story?

　　 Then why must it be the Jurassic era? Isn’t the Cretaceous Tyrannosaurus more eye-catching?

　　 didn't struggle with this issue much, he turned to the first page of the text.

　　 "International Genetic Technology Company Incident"

　　 This should be the name of the sub-volume title. At a sudden glance, Brown was shocked again.

　　 Genetic technology company, and it's still international!

　　 Regardless of what the incident is, UU reading www. uukanshu.com feels really amazing!

　　At this moment, Brown immediately realized that this is probably a science fiction novel.

　　 Subconsciously, he looks at the calendar beside him, and he does this habitually whenever he encounters science fiction in his review.

　　 Monday, May 28, 1984.

　　When the date is fixed, it is easy to compare the technological level in the book with the real world, isn’t it?

　　 Then, he immediately fell into the plot of the book.

　　According to the author's compilation, in the world of this novel, although it is still in the 1980s, biotechnology has advanced at a staggering speed. The world is full of various genetic technology companies, biotechnology companies, etc. In short, the biotechnology revolution has broken out in this world.

　　 A preface is just a preface of a few thousand words for the entire hundreds of thousands of words. The author expresses this concisely and concisely. Furthermore, at the end of the article, a more fascinating situation is explained.

　　 A world-leading biotechnology company filed for bankruptcy protection, but the reason for the bankruptcy was not disclosed to the outside world, and when communicating internally, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement.

　　Why, the company does not disclose the reason for bankruptcy to the outside world?

　　Why, the relevant personnel have to sign a confidentiality agreement?

　　 Because this reason is an incident, and this incident occurred on a remote island on the west coast of Costa Rica during two days in August 1989.

　　 Without any hesitation, Brown opened the first chapter of the text, and the oncoming headline made him breathe immediately.

　　 "Beast Eats People".
