Whether it was the topic between Duan Jiajia and Robert, or the "Herbert" in Chen Zhengnian and Robert's mouth, Bai Xiaowei was unfamiliar with it.

Those were areas she didn't understand.

Bai Xiaowei opened her mouth several times to join in, but couldn't find a good time.

I also received warning looks from Robert several times.

When things developed to this point, no matter how stupid Bai Xiaowei was, she realized that the plans she had thought of were completely impossible.

Robert wouldn't give her a chance.

And Duan Jiajia would not give her such a chance.

"We are very optimistic about the book "The End of the World"." Robert saw that the pleasantries were almost done and went straight to the topic: "I'm very sorry, but I have to tell you. Miss Duan, Mike's studio really wants to cooperate with you, and I just used a little trick."

This is Robert explaining why he is here.

"I can apologize to you if you don't mind that."

Robert made his attitude clear and said: "The reason why I did this is that it is difficult to get an appointment with Miss Duan. You are more popular in China than I thought."

Duan Jiajia did not refuse the compliment and only said playfully: "You make it difficult for me to make a choice. The cooperation with bw is very important to me. But the cooperation with Corentus is also very interesting to me."

Fortunately, she called Kong Yaozu and knew that Mike was so enthusiastic and had such a relationship.

Duan Jiajia was not idle during those days in Xiangjiang and inquired a lot about Corentus.

Just as Kong Yaozu thought, Corentus is indeed in a lot of trouble now.

The book market is only so big, and there are only so many book copyrights.

They want to carve out more for themselves from the limited pie.

However, in recent years, Corentus has been exposed to plagiarized works, works that are not in line with public opinion, and suspected of producing pirated books.

The first two just put Corentus in a public scandal, which can be resolved through public relations.

The latter one is a real crime.

What's more, Corentus is the official publisher.

Producing pirated copies is ridiculous both legally and in the industry.

Then book-buying customers and bookstore booksellers will have to doubt whether the books they bought in Corentus are genuine books.

There is a most obvious gap between genuine books and pirated books.

That's quality.

The quality of genuine books is reflected in the paper and printing.

In order to save costs, pirated books are naturally not used well.

These three problems do not include the problems encountered by Corentus' shareholders and senior management.

Infidelity within marriage is the least serious crime.

An executive in Corentus even used threats in order to obtain the author's copyright.

The writer was unknown before, and it was more likely that the senior executives fell in love with him.

After the book was published, the writer became famous.

After being threatened several times, I simply told the matter.

It just turns the simple lust of senior executives into a threat for profit, and also involves issues of personal freedom and safety.

Duan Jiajia could hear all kinds of unfavorable news about Corentus just by asking around.

It is no exaggeration to say that Corentus now almost has black spots.

However, after Duan Jiajia found out the full name of the company, she understood what was going on.

Corentus did not engage in piracy, and most of the scandals involving executives and shareholders were exaggerated.

Of course, it is true that executives have sex.

The reason Duan Jiajia knew this was because a women's rights incident broke out in Europe and the United States one year, and there were many supporters. But some of them objected, and the example they cited was the color scheme of Corentus executives.

So many people began to reorganize the entire process of Corentus's collapse.

Of course, now that Duan Jiajia knows about the relationship between BW Studio and Corentus, it is difficult to say whether the Mike brothers had a hand in the relationship.

Corentus was embroiled in scandals one after another, and the writers he collaborated with were quickly cut off, resulting in Corentus having to rest on its laurels for a long time.

But after all, Corentus had other businesses, which he had been supporting, and occasionally he could sign good writers.

It’s just that after the other party becomes famous, they will be poached by other companies.

After all, Corentus had a bad reputation.

Until the financial crisis of 2008, problems occurred in several investment projects of Corentus, and the group's capital chain was broken.

In order to survive, Corentus abandoned the publishing industry completely.

Even though the name of Corentus is still there, it gradually declined because it was engaged in other industries and failed to become the best.

And many people later came forward to prove that Corentus was in such a situation at that time because he was deliberately targeted by his colleagues.

It happened that there was a scandal in Corentus about publishing plagiarized works, and the author who was plagiarized was a well-known author.

By coincidence, Corentus's executives and shareholders had problems, both major and minor, one after another.

This is what other people see as a good opportunity.

Like hyenas, they quickly pounced and bit, taking more market share and benefits from Corentus.

Even when Corentus completely gave up its publishing part, those companies took over Corentus' employees and writers.

Duan Jiajia retracted her thoughts and poured Robert a cup of tea: "Sorry, I only have instant coffee and tea here. And it's unfortunate that today I finished the instant coffee and didn't replenish it. Why not try our country's tea?"

Robert did not refuse: "I have drunk Chinese tea several times, and the taste is very strange."

"Really?" Duan Jiajia chuckled and continued: "This is this year's Longjing. It tastes fresh and has a sweet aftertaste. I got these from my father."

"Oh, that must be your father who loves you very much." Robert complimented.

Although he had only watched part of "The End of the World", he came to China specifically to inquire about Duan Jiajia's reputation here.

The most important thing is that just now, Robert received a message from his colleague.

The scandal of that executive has become known to more people, and now the group is in a very bad situation.

Regardless of whether The End is a Lifeline or not, they're going to give it a try.

When Duan Jiajia saw that Robert was being circuitous, he became more direct.

"Robert, I know what your purpose is for coming to me this time. But I also have my concerns. Can Corentus really make my works liked by more people now? Instead of being criticized by others, Hate?"

It's not that Duan Jiajia is not confident.

But most of the main characters in her book are Asian. Can such a book really be popular and sell well in Europe and the United States?

What's more, because of Corentus's current situation, Duan Jiajia is worried about whether he will be affected by Corentus.
