Chapter 517 The Moon in Foreign Countries May Not Be Round

"What should I do if the system forces me to copy books ()" Find the latest chapter!

"If the enemy does not move, I will not move."

"Maintaining the status quo!"

This is the "keynote" of this trip to the United States that Li Chungang and his team set before their departure. It seems that a plan has been formulated, but it is actually a form of passive beating. This is actually a situation of unequal information between the two companies. The next helpless move.

Without knowing why Penguin Random House is so "virtuous and corporal", Lin Meng and the others are not very good at making emergency countermeasures.

Fortunately, Li Chungang, as the author of "The Lord of the Rings", holds all the copyrights in his hands. As long as he has this in hand, he can at least guarantee that they can stand against Random House even if the information is not equal. The land of defeat!

Early the next morning.

Just as Li Chungang and the others got up early in the morning with enough rest, while recharging their energy for the next trip to the headquarters of Random House, they could also enjoy a free buffet breakfast from the five-star Hilton Hotel for customers.

This is what the front desk said when they checked in last night. They are not deaf, so they can hear clearly.

"Master Chungang, Mr. Lin, Mr. Qin, good morning everyone."

"Mr. Jiang, we still need you to take care of us in the next few days, so don't open your mouth and shut your mouth like a god, I think you should be a few years older than me, if you don't mind, just call me... ...Xiao Li."

"Xiao Xiao Xiao...Xiao Li!?"

Jiang Qingyu subconsciously stuttered a little because of Li Chungang's kind words. It's not like he hasn't met a famous writer who is amiable and friendly, or he has personally received him, but it's still a headache for someone who is so unassuming to Li Chungang's level. Encountered once.

And shouting "Xiao Li" or something...

"Don't, don't! I'll just call you Chungang."

As for "Little Li", just listen to it as a joke, don't take it seriously. There is a saying that does not mean: others are polite to you, and it is not the reason why you can make progress. Although Jiang Qingyu is still a small intern, being able to enter Random House as an intern at least proves his ability, so in the end A good way to deal with it is to have a good sense of proportion.

There were two GMC Business Stars when we came, and there were still two GMC Business Stars when we went.

It is not unreasonable to choose this Hilton Hotel not far from Times Square to receive their group. The main reason is that the night view is good when you live here, and you can see the world-famous Times Square in New York nearby. The boarding house is close enough to avoid the hardship of traveling and traveling.

Obviously, Penguin Random House is also well prepared.

When Li Chungang and his group got out of the car, they were surrounded by a large group of people from Random House before they had time to take a closer look at the appearance of the headquarters building of Random House. I found that this large group of people was headed by a blond foreign woman in the middle, and I was curious as to whether the other people looked at them more.

Although Penguin Random House is the largest commercial publisher in the world, it is mainly for overseas markets, and there are almost very few authors from Southeast Asia every year. Not to mention that someone like Li Chungang, who came from the distant and mysterious Hua Kingdom in the east, received such a high courtesy, which is very rare in recent years.

Even when the famous reasoning expert Keppel Ron from England was received the year before last, Caitlin, the vice president of the company, did not meet him in person, let alone the president. You must know that the president of Random House, Cape Town, is now He is almost eighty years old, and he has long since ceased to participate in the management of the company's affairs. Therefore, in fact, the entire Random House is currently jointly managed by three vice presidents.

It's just that the three vice presidents have different jurisdictions and business areas, and they are mutually restrictive!

According to some gossip, the current situation in Cape Town, the president of Random House, is not very good.

All kinds of geriatric diseases, no accidents, this year if it is near, next year if it is far away, I guess I will completely resign from the position of president, instead of like this, seemingly doing nothing but still occupying this unique "throne".

The habit of "loving to join in the fun" is not the monopoly of ordinary people in Huaguo.

Even foreigners with different skin colors also like to join in the fun, otherwise the number of people receiving Li Chungang and them at the headquarters of Random House at this time would definitely not be as large as it is now, and most of them just happened to have nothing on hand. For important work, I deliberately went downstairs to join in the fun.

As editors, they may not like online novels from Huaguo, but they will never ignore the fact that more and more foreigners have been deeply influenced by Huaguo's online novel culture since Longteng International Station established its overseas website. This can be seen from the daily page views of the international station.

This time, Li Chungang, who was invited by Random House, whose pen name is "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang", can get countless "answers" with a simple search on Google, including his achievements and honors in China, especially in China. After these foreigners learned that the average number of subscribers of his online works exceeds 100 million, as well as readers and fans, they couldn't help being surprised.

The editors of Random House thought that Li Chungang couldn't understand the English they whispered in low voices, just like they couldn't understand Huaguo's Mandarin anyway, but they were completely heard by Li Chungang , remember it in my heart.

This also captured a lot of useful information for him.

In particular, the blond woman standing in front of me, who was preliminarily judged to be between 35 and 40 years old, turned out to be one of the three vice presidents of Random House, and also the only female vice president.

Don't think that there is no so-called male chauvinism in foreign countries. Caitlin can have the position of vice president today because of her real ability over the years, and the world-renowned writers she has cultivated through her hands It is as high as two digits or more, which is a very remarkable achievement.

It's a pity that when she actually took the position of vice president, she realized that the "discrimination" against women has nothing to do with your position. It might have been better in the past few years, but as the old president's health became worse and worse , the two male vice presidents began to show their ambitions and sharp claws, and at the same time, there was a tacit understanding between the damned man who squeezed Caitlin together.

After all, Random House is not a family business. It is also composed of countless shareholders. It is up to the shareholders to decide who wants to become the president. How can we impress the shareholders to choose themselves? In the world, there is nothing that can move people more than direct benefits!
