Entertainment: Since being divorced by Tianhou's wife

Chapter 384 This president has a bit of a sword

Lin Mo and Cheng Xiaoyu stood up from their seats.

Into the president's office.

Lin Mo saw a middle-aged man who was sitting behind a desk. He looked a little fat and was forced to wear a Mediterranean hairstyle.

The man was wearing very rough black-rimmed glasses, and there was a porcelain bowl full of tea on his table.

When he saw Lin Mo and Cheng Xiaoyu coming in, he took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Are you a teacher?"

Lin Mo nodded: "That's right, I'm teaching piano at Yangyin now."

President Zhao nodded: "Well, teacher is good, teacher is good, the teacher means that there are students, and if there are students, it means that there are moving books that can be sold."

"But your book, I read it, and I feel that although the writing is interesting, I just don't know what you want to express?"

Lin Mo was taken aback.

express what?
Lin Mo: "This is a story. The essence of the story is to let people relax in their spare time, so I don't want to express anything. I just hope the story is interesting and good-looking."

President Zhao frowned: "Is there no educational significance?"

"Writing a book is called writing a book because in the book, what the author wants to express is written, and then the author's thoughts or opinions are conveyed to the readers with words."

"As for you, I read it. The content of the story you wrote is quite interesting, but it lacks connotation. I don't know what you want to express. And after I read it, I was thinking, what can this book do? Who are you selling it to?"

He looked at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo: "Sell it to people who like to read it."

President Zhao took a sip of tea: "From my point of view, the sales volume of this book should be relatively small, because it is meaningless."

"Besides, I did a simple search just now. Among the many books published on Insomnia, there is not a single best-selling book of your type."

"Do you know what this means?"

President Zhao looked at Lin Mo again.

Lin Mo was already a little helpless: "I don't know, but I believe that the quality of my book is no problem, and there will definitely be people willing to buy it."

President Zhao: "Young people, it is good to have dreams and self-confidence, but I am older than you, and I have been in this market longer than you, so you have to learn to listen to my words."

He still has to talk.

Cheng Xiaoyu next to him couldn't bear it anymore: "President, just tell me when the book will be published."

President Zhao glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu, a little dissatisfied: "Xiaoyu, are you talking to me? I am also the president and your leader anyway."

Cheng Xiaoyu rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes, I know you are the leader, you are the president, and you are a middle-aged man."

President Zhao: "?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked helpless again: "Anyway, I don't care, Zhan Zhang, I managed to find an author this time, and as you can see, the story he wrote is very beautiful and fascinating."

"So I think this book can be published. If it is published, it will be my performance!"

President Zhao coughed: "I haven't made up my mind yet, otherwise, why don't you look for it?"

"or……"

He turned his head and looked at Lin Mo over there: "Teacher, take a look, why don't you write some educational book?"

"If it's an educational book, I promise to publish it for you quickly, and I can also talk to your school about how to sell this book to your school."

"In this way, sales are also guaranteed. If you are happy, we can rest assured, right?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have that plan. If you can't publish here, then I will go back."

"excuse me."

Lin Mo also simply took the manuscript and prepared to leave.

He is indeed a little helpless with the current publishing houses.

However, if you think about it from another angle, it is normal.

Now that the market for physical books is sluggish, all publishing houses are struggling, and publishing a book is also costly for the publishing house.

Looking at Cheng Xiaoyu's publishing house again, it doesn't look like there is much money, and it seems to belong to the kind of existence that can't afford to lose.

Maybe at some point, the publishing house will go bankrupt because of the loss of a book.

Lin Mo was about to leave.

Cheng Xiaoyu became anxious all of a sudden, she looked at President Zhao over there, and said directly: "President, you told me before that you asked me to find an author to write a book by myself, but you didn't say what kind of book you need. !"

"I'll just ask you, is there anything in this book that violates the rules!"

President Zhao was taken aback for a moment: "As far as I can see, no."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Is there anything illegal?"

President Zhao hesitated: "It's hard to say."

"Because there are grave robbers inside..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Cheng Xiaoyu said straight away: "That can't be regarded as tomb robbery, it can be regarded as archaeology!"

"When I looked at it, I could tell at a glance that this was an archaeological story. As the president of a publishing house, how could you tell that they were robbing tombs?"

"Think again, whether it is tomb robbery or archaeology!"

President Zhao was stunned when he was told: "Then... you can be the chief."

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Then it's over! Archeology is not against the law!"

"So, I want to publish this book and use this book to complete my performance indicators!"

This Cheng Xiaoyu really didn't give this President Zhao face, what he said made President Zhao's face burst into helplessness.

Cheng Xiaoyu: "What are you doing in a daze, can you do it?"

President Zhao came back to his senses: "This... is not impossible, but there is a requirement."

Cheng Xiaoyu was also very straightforward: "Say."

President Zhao smiled: "That is, after a while, you have to go to this publishing book exchange meeting."

Cheng Xiaoyu was taken aback: "You want me to be ridiculed again?"

"When I went there last time, the psychological shadow caused was not completely healed!"

President Zhao also looked like a rogue: "This exchange meeting needs someone to attend every year. Anyway, if you agree, then I also agree to publish this book, and I will give you the ISBN. After you complete this performance, you will have a year-end bonus. "

"If you don't go, then I won't publish it. Anyway, I don't think there is much market for this book."

President Zhao seemed to have settled for Cheng Xiaoyu.

Standing by the side, Lin Mo felt like he was watching a sketch performance.

No wonder Cheng Xiaoyu gritted her teeth when she mentioned the president of her own publishing house.

Just to say that now Lin Mo looked at the president's expression that seemed to be prostitution, and he had the urge to give him a fist.

It's really too sword.

This is definitely the realm of the unity of man and sword.
