Chapter 2183 Being Urged (Second Update)
Bill Gates' children's shoes are still too young.
There were still about two weeks before the listing on Nasdaq, and he had already urged Yin Jun more than a dozen times, hoping that Yin Jun would come over soon.
Yin Jun never knew that the richest man in the world in his previous life could be so shameless.
Even if Yin Jun doesn't agree, he can call twice a day.
This also made Yin Jun sigh, wealth is indeed touching!
When Microsoft went public in its previous life, the company's market value did not exceed US$500 million, so it might be able to survive.
Now Microsoft's valuation has been set at US$5 billion. Using this value to enter the public offering state, it suddenly increased more than ten times, which made Bill Gates feel uneasy.
Yin Jun ignored him and decided to go three days away.
After all, Yin Jun still has a lot to do, and he doesn't have that much time to spend with him waiting for the listing in the United States.
All right.
In fact, the most important thing is to write a book.
Because book fans are about to revolt.
Yin Jun's last published book was the first volume of "Harry Potter" published in June 1984.
Only one book was published that year. I was busy with various things in 1985, so I didn't publish it.
I wasn’t planning to publish it this year because I had to take a break.
But Kant Henry flew directly to Xiangjiang, crying and begging Yin Jun to save his life.
Last year, Henry Press did not publish any new books, and he was already scolded. He managed to avoid being overwhelmed by the anger of book fans by publishing hardcover editions of books such as "Jurassic Park" and "Bridge of Lost Dreams." .
If Yin Jun does not plan to publish this year, it would be equivalent to publishing only one "Harry Potter" book in three years, which is simply too much.
His small Henry Publishing House simply cannot stop the anger of hundreds of millions of book fans around the world.
It was clearly stated that two sets of new books would be prepared, but after the release of "Harry Potter" there was absolutely no movement.
You said that even if you don't write a new book, you should publish the fourth part of "A Song of Ice and Fire", right?
If it doesn't work, "Harry Potter 2" will work.
Without a signature brand like Yin Jun, Henry's Bookstore has had a very difficult time in the past two years.
Although they can continue to reprint Yin Jun's old books, which is also a high profit point, but if your publishing house only relies on old books to survive, what future does it have?
Many authors who were originally attracted are now a little bit ready to leave after publishing the book.
Fortunately, authors usually take two or three years to write a book, otherwise they would have nothing left by now.
Therefore, even if it was not because of the complaints of so many book fans, but just for the sake of his own business, Henry had to catch Yin Jun.
Compared with 7 years ago, when Yin Jun and Tang Shuxuan went to Henry Publishing House to talk about "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code", now that Henry Publishing House is developed, Yin Jun's achievements are thousands of times higher than before!
Facing Yin Jun, who has become the richest man in the world, what Henry can rely on is definitely not to increase the royalties from published books, but to impress Yin Jun through friendship.
To be honest, if he didn't mention it, Yin Jun wouldn't forget it.
Because most of the grievances of readers and fans are directed at Yin Jun.
Henry Publishing received more complaints and phone calls, but Kirin Group received more.
When Yin Jun went to the United States to attend the Oscars, he encountered a group of hundreds of book fans who strongly protested against him for not doing his job properly.
Then this group of people got into trouble with Yin Jun's fans, and finally staged a full-scale martial arts show, which made the crowd excited.
Yin Jun didn't say anything at that time, but just called on them to act calmly.
But privately, he didn't want to write a book so soon.
It's very simple.
Others publish a book every ten or eight years, all with great effort. I have been writing books for so many years. Is it a problem to take a break of two or three years?
I'm out of inspiration. Any questions?
Well……
No one believes this statement, because you are still writing movie scripts and you publish new comics every year. Why do you just say that you have no inspiration for writing books?
We are not fools!
Considering the reaction from book fans, Yin Jun didn't even give an explanation, he just said that he was still working on it.
Henry was very dissatisfied with this, so when his phone calls had no effect, he simply ran to Xiangjiang to press for the manuscript.
After all, after so many years of cooperation, he came to Xiangjiang more than once or twice, and Yin Jun went to him more than once or twice. You said that he was blocked at the intersection of Shi Xundao and the entrance of the headquarters of Qilin Group. It is really a bit strange. It's true, but it also seems unkind here.
So Yin Jun could only meet him once.
As a result of the meeting, Yin Jun now stays at home and writes hard.
Yin Jun did not write any other books but "Angels and Demons", which is Dan Brown's detective trilogy.
The first one is of course "The Da Vinci Code", and the second one is "Angels and Demons".
In terms of movies, in terms of box office and reputation, "The Da Vinci Code" is definitely the best, "Angels and Demons" is worse at the box office, and the third film is even worse.
But from a book perspective, "Angels and Demons" is actually as exciting as "The Da Vinci Code", or even slightly better.
Dan Brown's novels are indeed very good and make people want to read them.
After Yin Jun watched the movie "The Da Vinci Code", he bought three books to read.
One advantage of reading this kind of detective book is that its main plot is very obvious, that is, a case occurs, the mystery is explored, and the case is solved.
If you put it simply, you can explain it clearly in a hundred words.
So Yin Jun wrote down these three stories easily.
Now that the boy has so much experience in expansion, he can naturally revise while writing based on this main line and recalling some memorable plots in movies and books.
Yin Jun has already learned to write in English, so that from a visual and artistic perspective, he can bring himself into the atmosphere of English books and get closer to their reading habits.
It's just that it can't be very fast at this speed.
Ni Jiang can write 5,000 words in an hour, and Gu Long can also write 3,000 words.
But this is also their ultimate speed.
When Yin Jun used to write with a pen, he could write 10,000 words a day, which was very impressive.
Later, he used a typewriter, which was a typewriter computer from Wang An Computer Company, and the speed suddenly increased to 1,000 words per hour.
Now he is equipped with a Kirin computer and installed the WIN86 system of OFFICE. Yin Jun is very familiar with using it and his typing speed is also very fast.
But writing a book must be done while thinking. Even if you have previous templates and movies as references, you can only write 3,000 words in an hour.
Therefore, Yin Jun can spend up to 5 hours a day writing books, and he can write 15,000 words.
The book "Angels and Demons" is not very thick, and Yin Jun is not interested in writing this book into a delicate text like "Forrest Gump" and "The Bridge of Lost Dreams", so the length of 300,000 words That's enough.
It is definitely less than the original work of more than 400,000 words, but the main content is still mentioned, and there are many thrilling and shocking plots.
From the time Henry came to Xiangjiang in mid-April to around May 10th, the young man had finished writing "Angels and Demons", and then deliberately revised it several times before handing it over to him.
Kant Henry was so moved that he almost cried.
He didn't expect that Yin Jun would be so generous that he would rush to finish the manuscript after becoming the richest man in the world. In such a short period of more than half a month, he could finish half of the manuscript he had written before - yes, Yin Jun was embarrassed to say it. I didn’t write a word, I only said I had written half of it.
Of course Henry did not doubt Yin Jun, he thought this was normal.
A detective story like "Angels and Demons" is not like a love story like "The Bridge of Lost Dreams", which can be written easily and elegantly.
This requires constant thinking in the brain, repeated reasoning and thinking before writing it well.
While getting the book, Henry did not forget to push the envelope and asked Yin Jun when he would write "Song of Ice and Fire 4" and "Harry Potter 2".
Both books have their fans.
The readers of the "Song of Ice and Fire" series are of course mainly adults. They like this low-demon world full of intrigue and fighting.
To put it simply, this is the social landscape of Europe in the Middle Ages, but with some fantasy content added.
Of course, Yin Jun's carving of this world view and characters are very wonderful, and the writing is so lifelike that it makes people fascinated when reading the book, and they can't wait to finish the story right away.
There has been no new release in the past few years. The first three hardcover editions of "A Song of Ice and Fire" were published twice by Henry Bookstore, with a total of 200,000 copies sold, which shows the love of these fans.
You know, the price of the hardcover version is 5 times that of the ordinary paperback version!
Although Kant Henry is making good money, he is also worried that if Yin Jun does not write "A Song of Ice and Fire" in the future, those readers who bought the hardcover version will directly smash him with the book. die.
If Yin Jun continues to write in the future, it won’t be a big problem.
Just like what Yin Jun said, and what Henry Kant said to blame, if a writer can write a book at any time, can such a book be read?
Many readers are also discussing, saying that Yin Jun's crazy book publishing in the past few years must have accumulated a lot of accumulation, so he was able to write so many good books.
Now that he has reached a bottleneck period, he will slow down to recharge himself, and then slowly accumulate more, and he will continue to write classics.
That's what he said, but Henry Kant knew Yin Jun better.
He knew clearly that Yin Jun was purely engaged in business and directing movies, so he had no time to write a book.
Look, after I begged him on my knees, didn’t he finish the manuscript seriously and give me a book?
If there is no movement from him by the end of this year, I will come to Xiangjiang after the Chinese Spring Festival and I will definitely ask him to write another book!
Readers are the lifeblood of our publishing house and we cannot afford to offend!
