Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 164 Supporting Work
Six degrees of separation theory: There are no more than five people between you and any stranger, that is to say, you can know any stranger through at most five people.

This theory has an alias called "small world theory".

Stuart had heard of this theory, but she never thought that she would become a participant in this theory.

The night she read "A Bouquet for Algernon", she couldn't wait to recommend this book to her boudoir friend Mandy.

While Mandy was reading a book, her boyfriend Nathan was beside her.

Nathan recommended the book to his good friend James.

……

In the end, the book ran to the desk of the famous movie star Affleck.

Wrapped in a bathrobe, Affleck sits relaxed on the couch, taking some time to read the book his agent has recommended him.

Manager Leon knew that he liked to read science fiction, so he would often recommend science fiction to him. He was very satisfied with the works recommended by Leon the past few times.

This time it shouldn't disappoint, Affleck thought.

In fact, the reliable Leon never disappoints, and this time was no exception.

No, not only did it not disappoint, it was a damn surprise.

This is definitely a good book, and even though Affleck has read so many science fiction books, this one is one of the best.

He was eager to know if there were other works by this writer, but when he entered "pvs.zhang" on the search engine, there was nothing.

It's not that there is nothing, but it's all about the introduction of pvs. pvs represents many things, such as prototype verification system, polyvinyl sulfuric acid...

But there is nothing about books, not even the book "flower for algernon".

This is simply impossible, he is obviously holding this book in his hand.

He can be sure that there is not even a single letter of the name he entered wrong.

Affleck entered the title of the book unwillingly, and now there is some news, but this book doesn't even have an encyclopedia, and it's all messy news.

He didn't give up, and used a translator to translate the title of the book into Chinese, and then copied and pasted it into the search bar.

A lot of information came out now, all in Chinese, which he couldn't quite understand.

But he still saw something similar to an encyclopedia, and then found the author's name.

He didn't know any of the words "fifth grade vegetative", but it didn't matter. He copied the name and pasted it into the search engine.

This time, many things came out, and there were many books, but he didn't know any of these books.

"It seems that this author has written many books, but none of them have been translated into English."

Affleck scratched his head, why isn't China an English-speaking country?

Although he knew that his idea was a little ridiculous, he was really sorry.

A little disappointed, but this book alone was enough to surprise him.

……

Superstar Affleck updated his ins and recommended a science fiction novel.

Affleck fans are not surprised, because this guy recommends novels to others every now and then, and the good news is that Affleck has good taste and the recommended books are always good.

Over time, some fans who are not Affleck will follow him because of the books he recommends, not as a movie star, but as a book pusher.

Because Affleck's promotion of books is very effective, some writers' agents often come to him with co-authored books, hoping that he will help promote them, but Affleck has refused one by one.

Because he knows that the reason why fans like the books he pushes is entirely because he pushes books without any commercial purpose and always shares the books he likes.

The first print of the English version of this book is only [-] copies, and in order to hype up the "global release" gimmick, Agitation Literature has published the book in other major English-speaking countries besides the United States.

As a result, only [-] copies of the [-] copies were distributed to the United States.

At that time, if Stuart hadn't gone to the largest Norton bookstore in the area, he probably wouldn't have found this book.

The [-] books in the country were completely sold out in less than half a day after Affleck posted the ins.

book, no more...

All major bookstores suddenly had a group of such people, and they came up and asked if there was a book "A Bouquet for Algernon".

"If you don't have you, hurry up and buy it! Don't want to make money if you have money?"

There are also many irascible old men in the United States. When they heard that there were no books in the bookstore, they lost their temper on the spot.

It made many people in charge of bookstores very depressed. This damn is not a trustee, is this book so popular?

But when they learned that it was a book personally recommended by Affleck, they dismissed the idea, and the only thought left was "contact the publisher as soon as possible."

Surging Literature has only a small office in the United States, and there are only two staff members in it. When the flood of calls came from all over the place, the two staff members were instantly stunned.

"No, we don't have any in stock. Want to pre-order? How much? Two hundred copies, okay."

"Well, [-] copies? Okay, I'll take it down."

The callers include second-level booksellers, wholesale markets, and of course more bookstores.

Two people, one answering the phone, and the other copying the list by the side.

After being busy for a long time, when they finally had time to relax, both of them beat their shoulders and felt a little tired.

"Brother Li, what do you think is the situation, all of a sudden they come to ask for books?"

Brother Li shook his head, "I don't know, it's a good thing anyway, but with so many orders, we can't make decisions on our own, we still need to contact the headquarters."

"Then it won't work now, it's still night in Huaxia."

"Then wait."

……

Li Nan received the news early in the morning. He was surprised when his colleagues in the United States reported the situation. At the same time, he felt a little lucky this time. Who would have thought that this book would be favored by the famous Affleck?

"Print, hurry up, order 30 copies, then add 100 million, don't worry, just... add 100 million first, let the printing factory that cooperates with us be ready at any time, maybe there will be more printing later .”

Li Nan's order was issued very quickly. Fortunately, the printing factory they cooperated with was not very busy recently and did not need to queue up, so they could continue immediately, otherwise they would have to die in a hurry.

And 100 million copies is enough for them to print for a while.

After explaining the matter over there, Li Nan went to the public relations department of the publishing house and found the manager of the public relations department.

Theoretically, Li Nan, as the editor-in-chief, is at the same level as the manager of the PR department, but he also holds the position of deputy general manager, so he is a head above the manager of the PR department.

"What's the job of the leader coming here?" Knowing that Li Nan was coming, Guan Qiang, the manager of the public relations department, hurriedly greeted him.

"You can't talk about expensive work, come here to support the work of your public relations department."

　Thanks to [Cause and Effect, Cycle] and [Half City Misty Rain and Half City Empty] for their rewards, they are all familiar ids
