Chapter 124 popular overseas

Wansheng Book had a bad start. Jiang Xiancheng went out to find a suitable website to negotiate, so Zhang Duo had to stay in the company first, that is, he could write "Books and Swords" and also keep an eye on the company.

When Zhang Duo heard the front desk call and say that a Thai man did not have an appointment, but he must see him, he was stunned first, and then he was overjoyed and quickly asked the front desk to bring the Thai man in.

The novels of the two masters of Jin and Gu in their previous lives first covered Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then became popular in Southeast Asia. In the mainland, they were popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. However, in this world, Songjiang Province, where Zhang Duo became a prosperous family, is located in the northeast and thousands of miles away from Southeast Asia, so there has been no feedback from there, and Zhang Duo naturally ignored it.

But in the previous life, Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels had great influence in Southeast Asia. Hong Kong stars who performed in Southeast Asia would be applauded by the audience if they did not sing "Xiao Li Fei Dao". When Xiao Ao Jianghu was serialized in Ming Pao, 21 Chinese newspapers, Yuewen newspapers and French newspapers in Saigon were serialized at the same time. During the debate in the South Vietnamese Congress, some legislators often accuse the other party of being "Yue Fuqun" or "Zuo Lengchan". When "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was serialized, Bangkok's Chinese newspapers used telegrams to shoot martial arts novels through underground radio, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

Now that a Thai came to the door, Zhang Duo knew the other party's intention and quickly asked the front desk to invite people over. A man in his thirties came in. Except for his long dark skin, he was not much different from the Chinese. He just spoke strange Chinese, as if several Chinese dialects were mixed together, and he didn't know which province his Chinese teacher came from.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Duo, my name is Ba Song Zalunpeng. I'm from Bangkok and I'm here to see you." When Ba Song said this word by word, Zhang Duo felt tired for him.

"Hello, Mr. Ba Song, thank you for coming all the way to visit our China. Welcome. Please sit here."

Zhang Duo let Ba Song sit on the sofa, asked his secretary to put on the tea, and then continued, "What's the matter with Mr. Ba Song this time in Songjiang Province?"

After taking a sip of tea, Ba Song said, "Mr. Zhang Duo, I'm here for The Return of the Condor Heroes. I heard that the first volume of The Return of the Condor Heroes has been released, but I waited in Yangcheng for a week and didn't see it on the market. Later, I learned that only your company has it, right?"

Zhang Duo said with a smile, "Yes, only I have this book at present. I want to ask Mr. Ba Song, have you bought my book before?"

"Yes, I'm running an import and export company. I bought your Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Affectionate Swordsman's ruthless sword in Yangcheng before. These three books are selling very well in Bangkok, so I came to the Condor Heroes this time."

Zhang Duo suddenly remembered what Jiang Xiancheng said before, that is, Zhang Duo's novels sell best in Lingnan, and the sales of a province are about to catch up with several provinces in the north. It turned out that they were sold to Thailand.

Zhang Duo said regretfully, "It's okay to sell it to you, but our Wansheng Books do not have the right to import and export..."

Basong said heroily, "It doesn't matter. As long as you can provide books and pass the customs, I will handle it."

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "This is not good, but I don't know how many books you want?"

Ba Song raised a finger and said, "One million copies!"

Zhang Duo was shocked, "One million copies, are there so many people reading Chinese novels in Thailand?"

Ba Song smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Zhang Duo, it's true that I'm Thai, but my company's business scope is not limited to Thailand! In fact, the whole Southeast Asia is within my business scope.

Zhang Duo complimented: "I didn't expect Mr. Bassong's business to be so big, but I admire him."

Ba Song smiled and said, "Well, compared with Mr. Zhang Duo, my business is not worth mentioning!"

"What can I praise?" Zhang Duo asked, and at the same time, he also wanted to know what his influence was in Southeast Asia.

Ba Song said with a fascinated face, "Mr. Zhang Duo, your pen name Meng Nanxing is among Thai Chinese. Everyone knows it! Even Thai natives, there are many people who are your fans.

Zhang Duo nodded as before and said, "I don't think I have such influence in Southeast Asia thousands of miles away."

Ba Song's face suddenly showed a trace of regret, obviously because he was annoyed that he had exposed too many cards under his excitement. Zhang Duo looked at Ba Song's expression and smiled, "Mr. Ba Song, don't worry, I won't sit on the ground and start the price. We will take a million copies at a time according to the rules of this industry. If you take a million copies at a time, I won't let you suffer."

Seeing that his mind was broken, Ba Song was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "If Mr. Zhang Duo can write such a heroic novel, he will naturally not be a villain who rises on the ground. Of course, I can trust him. I just don't know when we can sign the contract and pay for the goods?

Zhang Duo said, "Mr. Ba Song has come to our Bincheng thousands of miles away. Naturally, I want to do my best as a landlord. Please visit around."

Ba Song quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang Duo, I appreciate your kindness, but I have a lot of business, and I really don't have that time."

Zhang Duo said again, "Mr. Jiang Xiancheng, the general manager of our company, can come back in the afternoon. Why don't we have dinner later and wait for him to come back in the afternoon?" Zhang Duo is so excused, but it is because he hasn't read the foreign trade books and really doesn't understand the import and export business.

Ba Song said, "Well, in that case, I will do whatever I want!"

When Zhang Duo and Ba Song went out for dinner, they knew that Ba Song did not come alone, but took an entourage, but stayed in the car and did not follow him upstairs. Compared with Ba Song, Zhang Duo suddenly felt that his appearance seemed to be a little smaller!

When eating, the two chatted casually and talked about the previous hit Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Ba Song said that his face was red and his saliva was flying, and the entourage next to him danced even more. He kept talking, but Zhang Duo didn't understand a word.

"He said that he didn't expect to see Prince Duan Yu here, which was really a blessing he had cultivated for several generations." Ba Song is the translator.

When Zhang Duo saw Ba Song's entourage suddenly saluted Zhang Duo with a solemn face, he remembered that Thailand was a Buddhist country and was deeply influenced by Buddhism. Fu Lingxin came and suddenly said, "Mr. Ba Song, what do you think of the TV series Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"

Basong said, "Very good. Although I am busy with work, I will spend the most time watching Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils as soon as I arrive in Yangcheng. The most amazing thing is that you have 37 stations watching this TV series. I don't have to stare at one station at all. There is always a place to connect with the 37 stations. I actually watched 40 episodes with three jumps and two jumps. Do you think it's funny?

After saying that, Ba Song looked back at the entourage with a smile. Seeing him talking excitedly, he looked very aggrieved and suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Zhang Duo, he is saying that there are too many TV stations where you play this film, and he doesn't know Chinese. On which TV station is turned on, it is Qiao Feng, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu, and he doesn't know where he has played it. It's dark and messy!"

Zhang Duo also laughed and said to Ba Song: I have two suggestions. The first suggestion is to let him learn Chinese well, otherwise he will miss more good films in the future. The second suggestion is, do you want to introduce the TV series Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?

Ba Song subconsciously said, "Okay!" But suddenly said with great regret, "Mr. Zhang Duo, in fact, I also want to introduce this TV series to our country, but my company is not qualified to introduce film and television dramas."

Zhang Duo was not discouraged and said, "So how about I ask Mr. Ba Song to contact him for help with the connection?"

Basong said, "Naturally, I also think that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils can land in my country. At least after translation, he won't be confused!" Hearing this, the entourage nodded desperately, as if to prove that what his boss said was very right.

After dinner, several people didn't come back until 3 p.m. to see Jiang Xiancheng. After listening to Zhang Duo's story, Jiang Xiancheng was suddenly overjoyed. Unexpectedly, a book was not sold after the opening of Wansheng Book, but now it has been wholesaled one million copies, which is an unprecedented achievement! Does the domestic book wholesale company dare to get 1 million copies at a time? Except for Xinhua Bookstore, other small wholesale companies can get 100,000 copies!

When Jiang Xiancheng was at Songjiang People's Publishing House, although he had never been in the book import and export business, he had never eaten pork or seen pigs running. He finally knew something about it. After drawing up the contract, Ba Song paid the deposit and went to Yangcheng Customs to wait for the receipt of the goods, and then shipped to sea.

After sending Ba Song away, Jiang Xiancheng couldn't help sighing, "Zhang Shao, this is really a windfall. Unexpectedly, one book in the domestic bookstore has not been sold, but it has been sold to 1 million copies in Southeast Asia first."

Zhang Duo sneered and said, "Uncle Jiang didn't have access to specific sales information when he was at Songjiang People's Publishing House, right?"

Jiang Xiancheng said, "Songjiang People's Publishing House has a fine division of labor and many departments. Although I was the editor-in-chief at that time, I couldn't ask about sales matters. At most, when I had to settle the manuscript fee, I could see some data, but the report never reflected that these books were sold to Southeast Asia!"

Zhang Duo said, "Sure enough, it seems to be the problem of Xinhua Bookstore. Otherwise, Ba Song should go to the publishing house to get the goods directly, not through the bookstore, so the bookstore and Songjiang People's Publishing House are not the same!"

Jiang Xiancheng said: "They are definitely not of the same heart. If any of the current alliance that "blocks Wansheng Books" will defect, then the most likely is Xinhua Bookstore."

Zhang Duo said with a smile, "In that case, we can have a good talk with the bookstore!"
