Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 516 Plan
"On-site signing event? Didn't I sign a batch of books online before?" After leaving Golden Dawn's manor, Liang En parked his car on the side of the road and called his editor in charge to ask. "Is there something wrong here?"

"Sorry, this is something wrong with our previous work." The editor's apology came from the microphone again, "We thought that readers should be satisfied with the previous online signing activities, but it turned out that your live broadcast attracted more attention. many readers."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Although Liang En didn't want to spend time on such things because he was usually busy, it didn't mean that he was completely indifferent to such things.

After all, people are social animals, as long as they are not the kind of extreme social fear, they will basically be happy with people's admiration, not to mention that the more audiences in this respect, the better his books will be sold, and the money he will make will be higher. more and more.

Although talking about money feels a bit vulgar for an author, it is actually the easiest way to judge whether your work is popular.

After all, if a reader who is not even willing to spend money wants to say how much he loves the author and the author's works, it is absolutely a lie. Of course, readers who really have no money can be regarded as exceptions.

"It's indeed a good thing." After hearing Liang En's words, the responsible editor gave a short laugh and said. "But the problem is that there are more people wanting to meet you and attend your signing than you think."

"Of course, what I said next is not to force you, but the current situation is that there are too many readers who hope that you can hold a book signing event. If you don't respond, it will be easy to be regarded as arrogant."

"What you said is indeed reasonable, and I have been a little free recently." After hearing what his editor said, Liang En responded quickly.

"However, I can only guarantee free time during these two weeks, so you'd better arrange the signing meeting in these two weeks as much as possible. Of course, the location should also be in Ireland, England or France, not too far away."

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to hold a signing event, then I will handle the rest for you. I promise to arrange everything properly."

After hearing Liang En agree to this matter, the responsible editor's happy voice came from the phone. For these one-on-one editors, the situation of the author they are in charge of is related to their career, so naturally Very caring about this.

Of course, the publishing house behind him is also one of the most famous publishing houses in the UK.Therefore, the work of organizing a signing meeting can be regarded as a familiarity.

At least like Liang En's request to hold the signing event within two weeks may be a little tight for them, and there may be a little flaw in the publicity, but it is not too difficult to hold it smoothly.

Next, Liang En spent his time dealing with a series of miscellaneous things, including the management problems of his own industries. Although professional managers are reliable enough and can handle most of the things, there are still some things that Liang En needs to deal with. I decide.

To give the simplest example, a plantation in the Philippines sent a report, hoping to use this year's profits to expand the scale of the previously constructed processing plant.

Matters like this involving overall planning and large expenditures are definitely not something that the manager can make on his own, and must be handed over to Liang En to make the decision in the end.

Obviously, pure agricultural products can't make much money, so Liang En has been encouraging this type of deep processing of agricultural products before, so after reading the analysis and divination of the legal consultant next to him, he agreed to the expenditure.

These businesses took several days. Although compared with those tycoons, his industries were only very small, but because of the large number of industrial projects, it was very complicated to deal with, and it took him a lot of time.

It's a pity that there are not many qualified and loyal professional managers, so I haven't found a suitable manager in such a short time, so I can only spare precious time to deal with these chores.

"I hope I can find a reliable manager someday, otherwise it would be a crime to waste time doing such things." After handling the last business, Liang En thought helplessly.

The time soon came to the day of the signing session. Liang En went to London ahead of time and entered the shopping mall. The signing session started at 12 p.m., and he flew there at [-] a.m. and arrived at the bookstore before [-] p.m.

The reason why he went so early was because he thought that by going early, he could visit the Shuishi bookstore where the signing of his works was held, and at the same time buy a few books for Joan of Arc that she wanted.

What people didn't expect was that when he took a taxi to the door of the bookstore, he found that half the street was already full of people, and everyone was holding books in their hands.

Liang En originally thought that his autograph meeting and someone else's autograph meeting collided, and subconsciously wanted to complain about why his editor had such bad luck and chose the same time as others.

As a result, when the taxi passed by the street quickly, I found that those people seemed to be carrying all their own works, and some even took several copies.

This time, Liang En was staying at the Waterstone Bookstore in the West End of London. It was considered to be one of the top bookstores in London, and they often held book signings.But there are not many cases where there are such long queues like this time.

At least according to what Liang En observed along the way, the people waiting in line here felt like sardines in a can, and more importantly, there were people coming from behind one after another consciously queuing at the end of the line.

Seeing this scene, Liang En took a deep breath. He knew that his books were not cheap, especially when many of them brought hardcover editions. In this case, it would be easy to sell thousands of books a day. Pine can top £10.

After all, the hardcover edition of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" has illustrations inside and a gilded cover on the outside, so it is not surprising that a book sells for seven or eight times the price of the paperback edition, and most of the books present are of this type Hardcover book.

Because he saw a large group of people queuing at the door, Liang En simply asked the taxi driver to park the car far away to let him get off, and then made a phone call to contact his editor in charge.

Soon, a staff member came to the place where Liang En was, and then led him to the staff passage at the back of the bookstore and took the staff elevator to the staff area on the sixth floor of the bookstore.

Just as he was bypassing the gate, Liang En heard many passers-by discussing the signing. Through their conversations, Liang En learned that many of these people came here out of curiosity after watching the video. .

This also shows from the side the special advantages of modern media in publicity. If it weren't for the previous live broadcast, the number of people who came today might be 1/3 less.

Just before Liang En was about to get on the elevator, he heard a pair of girlfriends discussing about today's autograph session.

"I didn't expect the adventurers in the movie to exist in reality. That video is simply too exciting, no less than some blockbuster movies."

"That's right, especially the part where the fake police were caught before, so I said that many Chinese people should really know kung fu."

At this time, the elevator arrived, and Liang En and the staff member quickly walked into the elevator.
