Chapter 120 Wansheng Opening
Jiang Xiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "The situation is much more serious than we originally expected. None of the book wholesale companies we contacted before came back with feedback."
Zhang Duo was stunned and said with a stunned face, "There is not even one?"
"There is no one! At first, I didn't believe it. Later, I called to ask in person and knew that Songjiang People's Publishing House had issued a "block order" for us in the industry. If that wholesale company dared to enter our book, they would never get a book published by the 'Chinese People's Department's Department again.
Jiang Xiancheng's tone was desolate and his expression was lonely. When he first joined Wansheng Books, he was also ambitious and felt that he could finally show his skills and learn. Although it will be suppressed by Songjiang People's Publishing House, relying on those domestic book wholesale companies and private bookstores, even if they will suffer some losses in channels and sales have declined, survival should not be a problem, but now even the opening has become a problem!
Zhang Duo slowly sat down in the chair and said for a long time, "I didn't expect that I still underestimated Songjiang People's Publishing House!"
Jiang Xiancheng went to Zhang Duo and asked, "Then our opening time?"
"Open according to the original time!" Zhang Duo said firmly.
Jiang Xiancheng asked again, "What should I do if there is still no wholesale company after opening?"
Zhang Duo looked up at Jiang Xiancheng, and his eyes were as real. Jiang Xiancheng was very unnatural. He avoided Zhang Duo's eyes and said, "I'm worried that if there is no sales channel after opening, it will seriously affect the company's reputation and profit. Shall we connect the channels first? After all, we can't sell books by ourselves. "
Zhang Duo found one thing. Although Jiang Xiancheng was intelligent, he lacked decisiveness. After all, he is a literati and thinks about things too carefully. Sometimes it is easy to look forward and backward, and lack the momentum of moving forward. That's what the so-called scholar rebelled in three years.
The problem is that the scheduled opening time of Wansheng Books has been announced, and major booksellers in the industry also know the feud between Wansheng Books and Songjiang People's Publishing House. There is no news now, maybe just wait and see, but if Wansheng Books is timid first and postpones the opening time, I'm afraid that those booksellers will really turn to Songjiang People's Publishing House.
The novel* under Zhang Duo's name is true, but it only sells well for a while and can't be sold for a lifetime. Whoever offends the publishing giant "Chinese People's Department" because of a momentary profit, it will be difficult to continue to make a living in this industry in the future. Unless Wansheng Books can develop and compete with Songjiang People's Publishing House, there will be book wholesale companies taking risks to cooperate with them.
Zhang Duo gently knocked on the armrest with his index finger and said in a low voice, "Uncle Jiang, people die for money, and birds die for food. Not everyone has a long-term vision, and some people just want to make a short-term vote. My book is famous for selling well, and someone will always be moved. So you don't have to think about anything else. Just open the business as originally planned. If they push me into a hurry, it's not impossible for me to sell books in person.
Jiang Xiancheng said, "If Zhang Shao wants to sign the sale, it can cause a certain sensation. How about I ask Zhisheng to arrange it?" Chen Zhisheng relied on Jiang Xiancheng's relationship to enter Songjiang People's Publishing. Now that his uncle has resigned, it is naturally impossible for him to stay, and he has also followed into Wansheng Books.
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "I'm not talking about signing. Let's talk about this then!"
When Jiang Xiancheng saw that Zhang Duo had other ideas, he stopped asking, but went to prepare for the opening. Zhang Duo has no strong relationship in Xingshan City. Even Shengxin Film and Television has no contact with the Xingshan Municipal Government, and he is still planning for the affairs of Xingshan Film and Television City.
On Saturday, August 25, at 9:00 a.m. that day, in front of Bincheng Wansheng Book Distribution Company, colorful balls fluttered, salutes sounded in unison, flower baskets arranged, and people were full of people. Unconsciously, Zhang Duo already has a lot of connections.
In politics, Li Guotai, deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and health in Bincheng City, Zhou Muyan, director of the Bureau of the Cultural Bureau, Sui Li, executive deputy director, and Yan Kun, deputy director of the bureau, attended together. Even Huo Haiyang, who was not doing business, arrived early and insisted on being responsible for the "gun" work of firing the cannon, but it made Zhang Duo laugh and cry.
In the business world, Wanbang Film and Television Song Siwei and Jin Yutang will naturally be present. Tang Tianhao of Songjiang Morning Post, even Shengxin Film and Television also sent a vice president. Northeast Evening News was represented by Wu Weizhong, and Zhao Dekang, editor-in-chief of Songjiang People's Publishing House, came in person.
Zhang Duo and Zhao Dekang had never met, but Jiang Xiancheng was no longer familiar with each other. He quietly told Zhang Duo that the bald old man opposite was the editor-in-chief of Songjiang People's Publishing House.
Zhang Duo saw that Zhao Dekang was in his fifties. Although he was ordinary in appearance, he looked at the eagle and the wolf, walked with extraordinary momentum, and secretly praised himself in his heart. The so-called visitor is a guest. Although he is already in a hostile relationship with Songjiang People's Publishing House, he should have the demeanor of the owner at this moment.
Zhang Duo stepped forward and said, "This is the editor-in-chief of Songjiang People's Publishing House. He is really old and strong!"
Zhao Dekang also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Duo, "Are you Meng Nanxing?" It's indeed a young talent!"
Seeing the two people shaking hands and laughing, the reporters present took pictures one after another, thinking about how to write tomorrow's report. Zhang Duo whispered, "Editor-in-chief Zhao, why do you want to force each other if you don't violate the river?"
Zhao Dekang said with a smile, "Young man, you have a bright future, why are you in a hurry? It's not too late to graduate from college. Why do you have to fight against us at this time?
"10,000 years is too long, seize the day. Life is short, like a white horse passing through a gap. I want to make a difference, and I don't even want to waste any time. Since Zhang Duo was reborn, his advantages have passed little by little. After a day, his advantages are one day less.
When Zhao Dekang heard this, he was shocked by Zhang Duo's ambition and was also angered by Zhang Duo's young ambition. Thinking about the people of their own generation, which one has not been struggling. Zhang Duo has such a rich status at a young age, but he is not satisfied. It's really not enough to swallow elephants.
"Give you one last chance to buy your Wansheng books by 6 million. Your company only spent 5 million. Young people should not be insatiable!"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Songjiang People's Publishing House is a good partner. It is also very kind to me, but people have their own aspirations and cannot be forced. Thank you for the kindness of editor-in-chief Zhao. I can't accept it.
Zhao Dekang's eyes flashed, and Zhang Duo could still feel it through the thick lenses. Zhang Duoxin said that the old man's eyes were so sharp. Zhao Dekang's face was as heavy as water and whispered, "In that case, let's wait and see."
After saying that, he didn't enter Wansheng Book Company and turned back. The scene was in an uproar, and the guests present were talking about it, and the reporters were even more excited and kept taking photos.
Although Zhao Dekang's walk had a certain impact, there was still an endless stream of guests present. Zhang Zhenxing came with a person from Zhenxing Real Estate, composed of the backbone of Uncle Zhang Duo and his aunt's family. He brought a big flower basket and shook hands with Zhang Duo, but it made Zhang Duo laugh and cry.
To Zhang Duo's surprise, Chen Xuancheng, Secretary-General of the Xingshan Municipal Party Committee, actually brought a group of Xingshan entrepreneurs to support him, which made Zhang Duo feel very comfortable.
When the ceremony was about to begin, there were guests at the door, led by Ji Liancheng, followed by Shi Tianyou, Gao Zhonghua, Li Shaoquan, Zhou Xiao, Cheng Nan and Jiang Ruixue. Zhang Duo didn't see Jin Yuzhi and was slightly disappointed.
But the media reporter was very happy. The previous mayor's director's entrepreneurs were not suitable for entertainment publications, and only the news of celebrities was suitable. The old reporter seized every opportunity to take photos, and only a new rookie sighed stupidly, "Oh, my God, it's actually the hottest Ji Liancheng at present. Oh, my God, there is still Shi Tianyou, Gao Qiang. Come on, four little flowers are also coming, but it's a pity that one is missing!"
When he finished sighing, Ji Liancheng's group had passed. Fortunately, Zheng Zecheng, Su Xiaoyu and other popular stars from other companies came over. The rookie was very happy to see his colleagues's photos. Looking at him, his eyes were a little contemptuous, so he suppressed his excitement and began to take photos. But he said in his heart, fortunately, the face of "Star Boy" is big enough, and so many stars come to support him, otherwise I wouldn't have taken photos of those stars, and I would have been scolded to death by the boss when I went back!
Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu released the pigeon of Wanbang Film and Television and joined the crew of Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms. Although the scenes of Lanling King and Yang Xuewu are quite heavy, they can't compare with Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
When Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils dominated the screen, 37 stations broadcast at the same time, and 700 million people watched it in front of the TV at the same time, their hearts regretted it. If there is Journey to the West in the world, they will definitely say to themselves that there was a character in front of me, and I didn't cherish it. When it was lost, I regretted it. If God can give me another chance, I will definitely tell the director that I will.
Nowadays, domestic artists all know Zhang Duo's martial arts dramas. They have extraordinary ability to make stars, and whoever shoots them will be popular. Although they had a small dispute with Zhang Duo, they did not want to give up. The so-called enemy should be solved or not. Zhang Duo refused to forgive for a while, but they wanted to take the initiative to show their goodwill.
Zheng Zecheng stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Duo and said, "Director Zhang, congratulations!"
Zhang Duo smiled politely and said, "Thank you!"
"I heard that Wanbang is now shooting "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I like that book very much. I don't know if I can make a guest role!"
Zhang Duo raised the corners of his mouth and said with a bad smile, "Well, you are a big star. How can you make a guest appearance in a small role? How about I give you a big supporting role?"
Su Xiaoyu said curiously, "What role?"
"This person wears white clothes, light clothes and slow belt, looks handsome, handsome, heroic, and strong martial arts. He is the young master of the white camel villa, Ouyang Ke." Zhang Duo said with a bad smile.
Zheng Zecheng was stunned at first, and then said, "Ouyang Ke, you can also try it!"
Zhang Duo hurriedly said, "Just kidding Mr. Zheng, the role has been decided. If there is a suitable role in the next play, please!"
Su Xiaoyu said softly, "Director Zhang, if you have the right role, don't forget me! The price is negotiable!"
