Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Tao Ge waited a long time for this call to be answered.

"Zhang Xuan?" A confused voice said.

"Well, are you sleeping?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Tao Ge covered his mouth and let out a long yawn: "Yes, I'm sleeping. What do you want from me?"

Zhang Xuan kept the story short and directly recounted the details about "Harry Potter".

Finally, he said: "I'll buy a plane ticket later. Now you have to do two things for me. The first is to get in touch with Rowling as soon as possible.

The second is to prepare relevant contract matters. I will just come and sign. "

"Oh, you are treating me like a slave." The matter of Harry Potter did not attract Tao Ge's attention.

The reason was straightforward. Tao Ge lost interest after hearing that Harry Potter had been rejected five times in a row and that the publishing house was a fairly well-known Bloomsbury company.

According to Tao Ge's standards, even a second-rate publishing house like Bloomsbury would not be able to take notice.

At least under her leadership, it would have been impossible for "Clockwork Girl" to be submitted to such a publishing house.

Hearing Tao Ge's neither salty nor bland tone, Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that Harry Potter had just begun to enter the market and had not yet set off a tsunami-like storm in the book market, so it was understandable for him to be looked down upon.

However, Zhang Xuan still said very seriously: "Sister, don't be ridiculous. I value this contract very much. You have to help me get this right."

Hearing the rare call "Sister", Tao Ge immediately stopped being casual.

Because she had already seen through the person on the other side of the phone, she would only call her sister when she paid special attention to something.

In other words, there is no benefit and no early start.

He immediately said: "Sure, leave the contract to me. After it's done, you can have a drink with me to relieve your boredom. People who stay here are almost rusty."

"no problem."

Zhang Xuanying responded and continued: "There is one more thing."

Tao Ge asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xuan said: "As for the pen name of "Clockwork Girl", let's go back to the original pen name."

"San Yue?"

"right."

"You think so highly of Harry Potter?"

"certainly."

"Then Rowling looks very good?"

Zhang Xuan was confused: "What are you asking?"

Tao Ge asked: "Young woman is very charming?"

Zhang Xuan was speechless: "Not one-tenth as good as you."

Tao Ge laughed: "No matter how charming I am, you don't dare to take a bite. Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Ge stood there for a few minutes and then made a call.

When the call was connected, he said: "Are you busy now?"

"Fortunately, you can tell me something."

"Help me check the book market. There is a book called Harry Potter. I want to know how it is selling?"

"Give me ten minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

ten minutes later

The phone in front of Tao Ge rang.

Tao Ge picked up the receiver and asked, "How is the situation?"

The other person said: "It's okay. It's been 21 days since it was released, and the current sales volume has reached 56,000 copies."

Tao Ge paused and then asked, "Do you think this book will be popular?"

The other person thought about it and said, "It's hard to say. After all, the influence of its publisher is only so great. Even if it becomes popular, it will take time to ferment.

But based on my experience in the industry for more than 10 years, this book is already doing very well and may become popular. "

Tao Ge was silent.

Seeing that she remained silent, the other person added: "I asked just now. The current readers who buy the Harry Potter book are generally teenagers. It seems that the reputation is pretty good, so if the follow-up publicity is proper, it has the potential to become popular."

Tao Ge kept these words in mind and said: "If the book Harry Potter becomes popular, it will be a big mistake for Oxford Press to reject "The Wind-up Girl"."

The person on the other side was puzzled: “Is there any connection between the two?”

Tao Ge said truthfully: "The author of Clockwork Girl is called March. You can buy a copy of Harry Potter and read it, and you will know."

The person on the other end wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and hung up the phone.

three minutes later

Tao Ge's phone rang again.

The other person asked straight to the point: “You said the author of Clockwork Girl is named March?

The last time you showed it to me, it didn’t seem to be this pen name? "

Tao Ge said bluntly: "March is my brother's pen name in China.

You have been living in the UK for so many years, so you may not know much about the information in the UK. Why don't you make a call yourself to find out more about the situation. "

This time it was Tao Ge who hung up the phone.

"How many days are you going to stay in England this time?" Du Shuangling asked as she huddled in his arms at night.

"I'll be back soon. Now I can't stop writing a new book. The mall is also very busy, so I don't have much time to stay outside."

Zhang Xuan reached out and touched her face, asking, "How about you take two days off and go to England with me to relax?"

Du Shuangling was a little moved, but still refused: "No, our professional courses are relatively tight, and going with you will easily delay your studies."

Zhang Xuan kissed her and asked, "You don't want people to gossip, right?"

Du Shuanglingmi covered her eyes and said, "Yeah~, my man is a great writer.

If I skip class because of this, I won't be holding my man back, and I can't do that. "

Zhang Xuan turned over and said, "Okay, you are not allowed to hold back tonight."

"Ah, no."

We set off from Yangcheng to Xiangjiang early in the morning and didn't arrive in London until around 9pm.

"Zhang Xuan, this way!"

As the crowd arrived at the exit, Zhang Xuan heard Tao Ge's shout.

Hearing the news, Tao Ge was wearing sunglasses and waving to him.

Xie Qi was also following beside him.

Zhang Xuan walked over and greeted the two of them and asked, "Lilith didn't come?"

Xie Qi explained with a smile: "She has been busy doing projects recently and can't spare time.

She said she would come over the weekend and asked you to wait for her. "

Zhang Xuan understands, after all, the University of St. Andrews is not close to London.

But unfortunately, he may not have time to wait.

And even if I wait, it will be empty now.

Unless the hot spring kung fu is strong enough to speed up regeneration.

Getting into the car, Zhang Xuan looked at Tao Ge.

Tao Ge understood what he meant: "The agreement is ready. Now let's go to Luo Lin's house for dinner."

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised: "Going to her house for dinner?"

Tao Ge shook her hair: "Of course, I see that you treasure her so much that I spent the entire night coaxing her to smile. We are good friends now."

Zhang Xuan didn't believe it: "Is Luo Lin so easy to fool?"

Singers Tao adjusted her sunglasses with her fingertips: "It's not that I'm easy to fool, but that people recognize the identity of "I am your sister."

It's just a pity that although she is a young woman, she really has no charm.

But it's okay to relieve fatigue occasionally. "

Zhang Xuan looked at her in disbelief: "Comrade Tao Ge, why are you like this now?"

Tao Ge put his hands on his chest and said coolly: "If you come here and try to live an ascetic life for a few months, you may not be as good as me."

Zhang Xuan was delighted: "Stop me, you and I are different. Even if I come to London, it's not my turn to be abstinent."

Tao Ge glanced around his face: "That's right, with your face, it's easy to find a few one-night stands among female international students.

Something from Korea, something from Japan, something from Hong Kong, it’s up to you to choose. "

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xie Qi laughed while driving.

Apparently over the past few months, the two idle old women have become good friends who don't shy away from each other.

It's still the same rented house, still the same small space, not much has changed in the house.

There was a salad on the table, and Rowling was frying steak.

The steak was sizzling with black smoke, and the smell filled the entire room.

Seeing Zhang Xuan's arrival, Luo Lin's face was filled with joy. She offered him coffee and pulled out a stool for him to sit on. She was extremely enthusiastic.
