Chapter 143 Hype <Harry Potter>!
"Why, didn't you come to our Oak Company just to let my company publish your book? Now that I have agreed, why refuse." Martin Black said anxiously.

"Originally, but not after seeing you. I don't like to cooperate with someone who doesn't respect others." Chen Dong said.

The middle-aged man who cheated in the bathroom was the blond receptionist, the manager of 'our manager is very busy, we will let you know when our manager is free', and this person in front of me, Martin Black.

The irrationality and impatience of the reception lady, as well as Martin's arrogance, directly excused himself for more than half an hour, and said that he gave up working with Oak directly when he said that the book was going to be published in a tone of charity.

In the beginning, the reception lady was unreasonable and impatient. To be honest, although she was very angry, she didn't turn around and leave directly. Until she saw that Martin was the middle-aged man who had an affair in the bathroom and Martin's arrogance and expression of charity made Chen Dong directly gave up his plan to cooperate with Oak Publishing Company.

"Mr. Chen, do you really think about it again? Maybe in the UK, only our Oak Publishing Company is willing to publish your book. There is no publishing company in the UK that is willing to publish an author who is not well-known, and the author is from..."

Chen Dong directly interrupted Martin Black's words, and said, "Don't think about it, there is no publishing company to publish, and I will spend my own money to buy a company to publish."

"That's a pity." Martin Black said.

Chen Dong left Oak Publishing House and went straight back to the castle.

"How was the talk?" Chen Ying brought Chen Dong a glass of water and said to Chen Dong with concern.

"It didn't work out, it was expected a long time ago, because of the cultural differences between the East and the West, as a Chinese, I don't have any reputation in the publishing industry. It is too difficult to go to the West to publish a book. When some publishers heard that I was Chinese, Rejected directly. I didn’t even see each other. Some publishers met once, but after casually flipping through the manuscript, they said, “The sentence is too long”, “This book is not suitable for publication”, “This book is not interesting”, etc. All kinds of general reasons sent me away, and there is a publishing house called Oak Publishing House who is willing to publish my book." Chen Dong said.

"Why didn't we talk about it again?" Chen Ying asked suspiciously.

"The lady at the front desk was unreasonable, impatient, and the manager was arrogant. First, she forgave me for more than half an hour. Later, after reading the manuscript of "Harry Potter" and willing to publish it, I directly Refused to cooperate. I have seen it through, and I don’t plan to go to a publishing house to publish it. I buy a publishing house and publish it myself.”

"Then isn't our plan to travel to the United States a failure?" Chen Ying said.

Chen Dong said helplessly, "Yes, next time I will take you to the United States to have a good time. Don't you want to ride a horse and graze? At that time, we will buy a small ranch there."

"Okay."

It is easy to do things with money, and then, with the help of the Bank of England, Chen Dong directly and wholly acquired a medium-sized publishing house.

plus various fees.It cost 170w euros.

The name of the publishing house is Harbury Publishing House. Chen Dong felt that this name was quite good, so he directly used the original name.

The publishing house has been overhauled, kicked out the incompetent manager, appointed Tom Radcliffe, a capable and experienced deputy manager of the publishing house, as the manager, and promised to increase the salary of all employees in the company by 20%, of course. There must be penalties for rewards, before.Employees who do not work hard and are not motivated to work have a one-month correction period, and if they continue to do so, they will directly face dismissal.

Under Chen Dong's drastic reforms, the company has changed its previous loose and inactive atmosphere, and the mental outlook of the employees of the publishing house has become more positive, and they work very hard. Of course, this kind of working status of employees is only temporary. These people are all Inspired by the 20% salary increase promised by Chen Dong and the danger of dismissal, if employees really have a sense of identity with the company, they must make achievements in the future to make employees feel that the company has a future. Employees will still return to the previous mental state, lax, not active in work, and muddling along.

The first Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and the second Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were handed over to Hubery Publishing House for publication.

A novel that a publishing house is willing to publish. The author of the novel, a Chinese, actually bought a publishing house in order to publish this book.

"The Chinese are so rich that they spent huge sums of money to acquire a publishing house to publish a book that was not expected to be published." Someone laughed.

"Can a Chinese write a novel that suits the tastes of Westerners? If it were the editor of my publishing house, I would not be optimistic about this book. In my image, Chinese martial arts, immortals, zombies and ghosts It is very famous, and writing magic is the specialty of Westerners.”

"This Chinese is too prodigal. He bought a publishing house for 170 million euros just to publish one of his novels that are not favored by others and make him famous. However, he has a big idea. If he wants to be famous, he will do it now. He is already famous, not as a writer of novels, but as a prodigal son.”

.......
Although he was ridiculed by various people and made various mistakes, the fame of "Harry Potter" came out.

Although, most people believe that "Harry Potter" is a terrible book as it is said, and many people may not buy it, but people are curious, and in the end, some people will buy one, Check it out or if it sucks like some say it's not worth reading.

Anything, or anything, is afraid of not paying attention, and it will become popular if you pay attention, whether it is a bad reputation or a good reputation.

For example, any husband/sister Rong, Sister Feng/sister, what kind of sister in the original time and space, such a rotten and cheap person can be popular. It can be said that it corresponds to this sentence.

"Harry Potter", so to speak, is already popular, even before it was released.

The book "Harry Potter" has attracted many people's attention, and many people think it is a bad book. Chen Dong didn't say anything to refute it, and he couldn't turn it around for a while.

However, Chen Dong is confident that after the release of "Harry Potter", all those who question and criticize this book will shut up and speak with the facts. Whether a book is a good book or a bad book is judged by readers.

Now the more they dance, the more the book is fired. These people indirectly helped Chen Dong a lot. If it weren't for this incident, "Harry Potter" hasn't been paid much attention to now. How could it be possible? So many people are paying attention.

"Boss, many people are questioning and criticizing "Harry Potter" in newspapers and on the Internet." Tom Radcliffe, the new general manager of Hubery Publishing Company, said worriedly.

Tom used to be the deputy manager of this publishing house. The original manager was a relative of the previous boss. He didn't do practical work, but he liked to dictate. He appointed Tom Radcliffe, who is capable and has more than ten years of experience in the publishing industry, as the manager to manage all the affairs of the company.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is a good thing. Bad books are not judged by them, but by readers. Let them scold. It can increase the attention of "Harry Potter". It doesn't matter if you scold the success or failure for the time being, after the release of "Harry Potter", use the sales results to respond to the group of people who scolded "Harry Potter" as a bad book, and then they will naturally calm down , However, we can't do nothing, we can't let them calm down, and hire someone to scold them, the purpose is to quarrel this topic and increase the attention of "Harry Potter."

"Okay, boss, I will work hard and respond to those people with sales results." Tom nodded.

The next day, there were different voices among the one-sided doubts.

"Actually, this Chinese man is not as bad as everyone imagined. 'Prodigal Son' spent 170w to acquire a publishing company just to publish his book.

Although he is not well-known in the UK, he is a very well-known author in the publishing industry in mainland China. He has published two novels, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of Great Powers". The previous one was last year. In the second half of the year, the sales volume exceeded 200 million copies, reaching 212 million copies, and it was listed as the number one book sales list in 2014. Up to now, the cumulative sales volume has been 370+. His second novel "The Rise of the Great Power" sold 320 There are more than ten thousand copies. Unsurprisingly, he must be the No. 2015 book seller in [-]. The author of the best-selling book who has been ranked No. [-] in the book sales list for two consecutive years is really as unbearable as you said ? 'Prodigal son', bad book. "

Obviously, this person is Tom. Radcliffe hired someone to hype up the topic, and only by stirring up the topic can he gain attention.

Soon, someone else responded.

Although the book "The Rise of Great Powers" has not been published in Europe, I happen to have three books in my hand, Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch. The story is very strong and the plot is wonderful. It tells the story of the great age of navigation starting from Portugal. The historical stories of several world powers that have risen successively are very interesting. It is a pity that the fourth part, the British chapter, will be released in July. I strongly urge Chen Dong to publish "The Rise of Great Powers" in Europe, so as to save those who don't know the truth The National People's Congress made rumors, spraying a very talented person as a prodigal son and a bad book. "

This really wasn't paid by Tom, it might be a die-hard fan of the book The Rise of a Great Power.

.......
Seeing the news, many people didn't believe it at first, and sent people to investigate Chen Dong.

Chen Dong's affairs were easy to investigate, and they were all exposed by the media.

Soon, the publisher who saw all the information about Chen Dong was shocked, and regretted it very much.
