To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

Britain.

Although the Booker Prize occurs every year, not many people know about it. Except for those who care about the literary sector, few people know that there is such a literary hall with the highest honor in English called the Booker Prize.

Compared with the Nobel Prize, the Booker Prize is far less well-known.

In today's era where traffic is king, the Booker Prize also wants to increase its influence, but it does not want to be as hyped as ordinary mainstream literary awards.

So this year, someone in the Booker Prize Organizing Committee proposed to invite Qiaosu from China to participate, and if possible, give Qiaosu a Booker Prize to pave the way for next year's New Year Awards.

If the Booker Prize doesn't want to be an 'Internet celebrity' in the literary awards, then it can only take the formal route.

Therefore, inviting Qiao Su is a very good idea, but it is only the opinion of one person within the Booker Prize organizing committee.

Prior to this, there were still differences within the Booker Prize organizing committee.

At least, many people don't want to see this when it comes to inviting Qiao Su.

Because the Booker Prize is a pure English novel award, and although Qiao Su is very famous in the literary world, Qiao Su's work is too complicated, especially because Qiao Su is a yellow-skinned person, which makes some people feel disgusted.

Well, the push for this is not as simple as it seems.

There were two camps with different opinions on the organizing committee. David Stephen was in favor of inviting Qiaosu, while Carl Hadley was firmly opposed to it.

But why was the invitation to Qiaosu sent out anyway?

Here, there are references to Gaul’s opinions.

The eldest princess of Gaul, Leon and Xu Xuan, have some friendship with Xiao Yu'er. Last time Xiao Yu went to Gaul, she and Leon talked about related topics. Xiao Yu'er knew that Qiao Su was Xu Xuan, so of course she could do what she could. He praises his brother.

Besides, Qiao Su also has English versions of his literary works. Especially after the publication of "Harry Potter", Leon became a fan of Qiao Su.

Therefore, the opinions of the Gauls still have a decisive influence on the Eagle Country.

As I said before, in the entire Western world, Gaul has never wanted to lower its proud head. In their view, it seems that except for the Eagle Country, the rest of the people are nouveau riche, especially the Eagle Country, which has been overthrown by the Gauls. Look down on it, although Gaul is no longer the same Gaul it was back then, and the current Eagle Country can hold them down with one hand.

But the world is like this, and you can’t just do whatever you want.

Well, in this case, the British Booker Prize Organizing Committee has considered that if inviting Qiao Su can have an impact on the Booker Prize, it seems to be possible.

So Qiaosu's invitation was sent out, and a wave of public opinion arose in China.

Not only that, there was also a wave of public opinion in the traditional literary circles of Eagle Country, Gaul, and Britain.

Then the purpose of the Booker Prize has been achieved.

David Stephen sat at the conference table and said with a smile: "Now it seems that our decision a few days ago was correct, wasn't it Karl?"

Carl Hadley took a puff of his cigar and shook his head: "If this continues, the Booker Prize will join the ranks of other literary awards and become a place for dividing cakes. You will regret it, David."

David shook his head. People of their status believed that it was impossible to change certain things immediately.

This is the case now. David's faction is striving for Qiaosu's influence.

Karl's group always believes that although Qiaosu is famous, he is not qualified to participate in the Booker Prize because Qiaosu debuted too late, less than four years after full award. If such a person wins the Booker Prize, it is not a good thing for the Booker Prize. Good thing.

Traditional literature, especially some Western aristocrats, have always insisted on certain things, such as seniority.

David disagreed, but Karl always objected: "If Qiao Su's work does not meet our requirements, what are you going to do David?"

This is a very real problem.

Now it’s time to invite Qiao Su. What if Qiao Su’s work doesn’t meet the requirements of the Booker Prize?

By then, the publicity was overwhelming, but Qiao Su didn’t win the award in the end?

What would Qiaosu think?

Unexpectedly, David sneered at this time: "If the work does not meet our requirements, it will naturally not win the award. In recent years, has the Booker Award given out few dark horses? Qiao Su's work is not convincing. Of course I won’t give him an award.”

"Karl, are you worried about public opinion in China? There is no need for it. Chinese people often start cheering as long as they are nominated for some recognized and authoritative awards. If they win the award or not, they will not have anything. react."

Carl Hadley glanced at David Stephan a little strangely.

According to him, this means that the Booker Prize is not afraid of offending Qiao Su at all.

Also, haven’t the Booker Prize offended too many literary writers over the years?

Besides, this man named Qiao Su is from China, so there is nothing to worry about.

So for now, David's approach is still convincing, which is why the organizing committee passed most of the resolutions to invite Qiao Su to participate!

Speaking of this, David Stephen suddenly laughed again: "After Princess Leon sent the submission, we actually decided to invite Qiao Su, but another thing happened, do you know Karl?"

Carl Hadley shook his head.

David laughed and said: "Some capital from China actually found lobbyists from Eagle Country, and then tried their best to lobby us to invite Qiao Su to participate in the Booker Prize. Even if he couldn't win, he would still let Qiao Su participate in the Booker Prize." To show their face, they spent at least 20 million dollars to run this thing.”

Twenty million U.S. dollars is a very large organizing committee for a literary work award. Carl Hedley was a little surprised. Although this kind of thing happens every year, it is not as large as this year.

How can I put it, Chinese capitalists are really rich.

"The most interesting thing is that this lobbyist is not actually the group company where Qiaosu works. Our investigation found that this is a capital that has a deep grudge against Qiaosu Group Company. Is that interesting?"

David smiled again: "There are more interesting things."

"besides?"

David smiled and nodded, stood up and looked out the window and said: "China is a very interesting country, but it is also very interesting inside. What is even more interesting than our Britain is that they sometimes use external forces, even at the expense of themselves It also creates obstacles for the opponent, but ultimately benefits the third party.”

That's not what Carl wanted to hear, but he didn't rush David.

Then David smiled and said: "In addition to the 20 million U.S. dollars, the other party also asked the lobbyist to give our organizing committee a part of the deposit. This part of the deposit is 10 million U.S. dollars, and promised that another 10 million U.S. dollars will be paid afterwards. Go to the accounts related to the group meeting, oh~ don’t worry, these things are run by lobbyists, how can the Booker Prize be contaminated by these things, I’m just telling you.”

Carl Hadley felt relieved after hearing this, and asked: "So what does this money mean?"

David couldn't help laughing: "Very interesting!"
