Chapter 694 Interview with Time Magazine 5/5(1/2)
These old employees are also quite upbeat. Although a small number of them are no longer in the company for one reason or another, except for those who are not following the right path, their development is also quite good.
This group of people is the most supportive of the company, and Zhao Hong was very excited when communicating with them.
In their eyes, Zhao Hong is a living legend. Ten years ago, they would have never dared to imagine that a small company that was just a magazine would develop to this point.
It’s so dreamy!
After the inspection, Zhao Hong was a little confused. She really didn't expect that her own company was so powerful.
This is a bit unaccustomed to the rhythm!
December 7th
Unknowingly, today is the day when Zhao Hong's novel is released. In the past half month, directly-operated stores around the world or places where you can buy derivatives in your own theaters have been full of products.
Zhao Hong had a rare chance to put on makeup today and come out to see what was going on?
I was casually walking into a DreamWorks product store in Tin Shui Wai, and I saw a long queue. A short distance ahead there were some sleepy-eyed people with blankets in their hands. It seemed that they had spent the night here last night.
He also truly admired these people. It was December and the weather had turned cooler. Although we were in Xiangjiang, there was still white dew in the morning, and the temperature was still only around a few degrees in the second half of the night.
This is also a struggle to get the books as early as possible.
In fact, Zhao Hong also knows that a large part of them are scalpers. As long as they buy the books in the first place, they can still make some hard-earned money by reselling them casually. The main reason is that the directly-operated store stipulates that each person can only buy five books.
Calculate.
It’s never easy to make any money!
Zhao Hong was a little emotional when he saw what they were doing.
Qiannan Prefecture, shit tastes bad!
It's not unreasonable.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to get rich.
Even Li Huanggua said that in fact, the first million in life is the hardest to earn.
Although this is one percent of a small goal, it is really difficult!
He was a little lucky that he lived in an 'ordinary family', otherwise he didn't know how many backstabbing and suppression he would have faced, although the old man and the others didn't give him much help.
But the backers of DreamWorks in the early stages of development were them. With their strong legs, they were able to develop and grow quietly.
There are also many reporters who come to interview in the early morning. Every time Zhao Hong's book is released, it will bring them a lot of news, which makes them do interviews mechanically every time. Even if they return to the same thing every time, the sales volume
I've never been worried.
It can be said that Zhao Hong is a man with his own traffic!
It’s Tang Monk Meat in the eyes of the media!
Zhao Hong looked at the door of the direct-operated store for ten minutes and saw that more than a hundred copies were sold. This was just one store. You must know that there are hundreds of directly-operated stores in Xiangjiang.
.
After watching it for a while, he went home directly. It was not interesting and the tone was still the same as before.
It is said that Mr. Jin got Zhao Hong's novel yesterday, so he simply stayed at home, even without going to the company. Now his position in the company has basically been reduced, and many of the things he used to do are
Found someone else to replace.
The old man is now sixty-six years old, and he also wants to retire. He does not have the spirit of Shao Daheng. It is really not easy to think about starting a business in his seventies or eighties.
He stayed at home and spent a day reading it. After reading the book, he felt a little shuddering. He had read a lot of crime thrillers like this, but none of them made him feel so creepy.
He took a closer look at the cover. The scary-looking moth was actually made up of seven women. There really wasn't much in it.
After reading it, I was silent for a long time.
Mr. Jin was once again shocked by Zhao Hong. How many types of novels can this guy control?
After reading it again, he felt that there were still many things he didn't understand, so he continued to skip work the next day, and the third day...
The book "The Silence of the Lambs" has been released for three days. Many people have been immersed in reading it these days, and they have read the 250,000 words several times.
Some editors want to write a review after reading it, but when they start writing, they feel that there are thousands of words in their minds, but they don't know how to write.
As for readers, the response was huge.
Some students were watching in the dormitory at night. I heard that someone suddenly yelled while watching, which directly woke up the students on the entire floor.
After being investigated, it turned out that the murder was caused by a novel.
This incident directly caused a huge response in the school. It turned out that many students read this book, and some related news happened in different schools. These news were all adverse reactions to this book.
If Zhao Hong didn't still have a little respect in Xiangjiang, his book might have been banned on campus.
The same situation has received a high response in Europe and the United States. Many readers have read this book and thought it was so cool!
Many of them had adrenaline surges when they read this book. They liked this book very much, which led to a steady increase in sales.
"Bob, Hongye's new book is really cool. I think it's his best book."
"Tom, is it true? "The Butterfly Effect" is my favorite!"
"Really, I'm not going to lie to you, this new book is a crime thriller type, which is your favorite type!"
"Show me quickly!"
"Come on, brother, I bought two copies."
Such conversations abound in middle schools and companies.
Zhao Hong's current influence in Europe and the United States cannot be overemphasized. The pen name Hongye is well-known in both the writers' circle and the reader's circle.
It took three to five days for many newspapers to report on this.

…
It can be said that this book became popular all over the world at once. Zhao Hong received countless invitations. Many major Western newspapers invited him, but he rejected them all.
Among them, "Times" was invited for the second time. They came directly to Xiangjiang for an on-site visit. This was really a bit of a refusal, so they had to accept the interview.
This is really a bit difficult!
Of course, he would not admit that he still wanted to appear in this weekly. You must know that the quality of this weekly was very high at this time. Business tycoons, world celebrities, leaders who influence the world, etc. all interviewed them.
Rushing like a duck.
Zhao Hong was interviewed in his chairman's office. The person who came to interview him this time was a blonde foreign girl, about thirty years old, delicate and clearly unrelated, with an explosive figure, and she looked very appetizing.
.
"Mr. Zhao, it's an honor for you to accept our interview. If you don't accept the interview this time, I will have to stay in Xiangjiang and not be able to go back."
"Why?"
"Isn't this a mistake in my work?"
"Haha, if I had known that such a beautiful young lady would be interviewed, I would have agreed."
"real?"
…
The two joked briefly and then got down to business.
