There is a certain teahouse in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, which is very famous among the Chinese community in Los Angeles. Famous Chinese people from all over Los Angeles come to the teahouse from time to time to drink tea and reminisce about the past. There are several private rooms on the second floor, which are specially set aside by the boss.
, except for the two long-term private rooms, the remaining ones are for external use. This afternoon, there are two familiar faces in a certain teahouse, including Sean!
"Ah Man, your son is great." After quietly enjoying Sean's kung fu tea, Cao Ming, a middle-aged man who has the same pronunciation as the ancient hero Cao Cao, couldn't help but praise him.
Perhaps because he discovered that Sean had really grown up, Xiao Man even half-jokingly mentioned that Cao Ming's name was a bit funny, but Cao Ming's ancestors could really be related to Cao Cao. In other words,
Others would really laugh it off, but Sean was different. Thinking back to the uproar on a certain island incident before his rebirth, and the young man called Fuck Japan, what he said was really true.
Cao Ming is well-known in the entire Chinese American community. However, what is different from Xiao Man is that Xiao Man is a lawyer, while Cao Ming is a publisher.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" Xiao looked at Xiao with approval, and the corners of Xiao Man's smile stretched to his ears.
"You and I have been in a relationship for so many years. You and I know each other very well. Let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point!" Cao Ming sucked the tea in the small tea cup into his mouth with a whoosh, and said straightforwardly without being polite.
Xiao Man smiled and said nothing, but winked at Sean. Sean naturally knew that it was time to speak on his own.
Taking out the manuscript from the backpack on the side and handing it to Cao Ming, Sean smiled and explained: "Uncle Cao, this is a novel I have been thinking about writing during this period. I don't know if it can be published, so I brought it to you.
Check it out!"
"wonderful!"
Cao Ming looked at Sean and then at Xiao Man with a little doubt, but Cao Ming didn't say anything. He took the manuscript and didn't even take a few glances at it, but he came up with an earth-shattering word.
So many years of experience in the industry have given Cao Ming a sharp eye, and he can tell whether a book will be popular or not and whether it will make money.
As he watched it slowly, Cao Ming became more and more shocked!
In China, when people mention the church, they will suddenly realize that it is Christianity, but no one will understand that there is a behemoth behind Christianity. Only people who have lived abroad for a long time will understand how amazing this behemoth is.
That place is just a small country, China, and it only has a guard force of only a hundred people, but the cultural export and so many believers around the world scare all countries.
Such a large organization will naturally have its opposites. It doesn't matter whether this opposition really exists, but it is absolutely indispensable. The topic of vampires is a taboo topic for them.
"This book..." Cao Ming was still holding the manuscript and reading it, with worries but reluctance in his heart. The delicate plot and the handling of the plot all made Cao Ming see the opportunity.
"Uncle Cao, this book does have some taboo content, but it may be a new beginning for Uncle Cao. Guanghui Publishing House has indeed made rapid progress in its development, but it has also fallen into a bottleneck. This bottleneck is not simple.
A breakthrough can be achieved alone, but it requires opportunities and waiting. Many publishing houses did not wait until they disappeared. But Uncle Cao is different. I believe that this new moon I created is the best opportunity. As long as the results are achieved, the whole world will
Everyone will pay attention to which publishing house is the agent, and Uncle Fuck’s publishing house may be hiring again by then!"
Sean laughed!
Sean understood what Cao Ming was thinking, so he said this very thoroughly!
The first Twilight Saga, New Moon, is an opportunity for any publisher!….
What does a publishing house rely on? It relies on reputation!
Only books published by well-known publishing houses will be placed in the most conspicuous positions in front-line sales stores, because these publishing houses themselves are a cash cow for them! Because they are professional and have the most professional vision.
Cao Ming was silent!
Cao Ming understands what Sean said! But people living abroad know that people in China cannot understand how amazing that behemoth is. There are only one simple sentence to cover hundreds of millions of believers. But Cao Ming
Clearly, the energy burst out from these believers is amazing!
In the first decade after the millennium, Sean saw a report in the United States that the total number of Christians in North America was 148 million, and most of the Christians in North America were concentrated in the United States.
In the first ten years, the total population of the United States was less than 300 million. It can be said that these believers accounted for 50% of the total population of the United States.
The traditional domain of Christianity is not in North America, but in Europe! With a history of more than two thousand years, this behemoth has extraordinary influence throughout Europe. Almost all aristocratic families in Europe are believers. Although these
The family has its own plans, but for a small matter like banning a book, these are still very willing to sell face. After all, there is no loss, right?
Of course these are all things on the books!
After so many years of career in the financial industry, Sean has learned some unknown secrets. Today, when the Internet is about to explode, no country is willing to have a religion weighing on its head. This is also the main basis for Sean's vows.
.
Cao Ming understood what Sean meant! But Cao Ming is not young, he is in his forties. So many years of hard work and years have worn away Cao Ming's ambition, and Xiao
Well, such a brief statement obviously cannot rekindle Cao Ming's ambition.
The main problem is that Sean is just a complete newcomer, a complete newcomer with no qualifications to whitewash his rookie status. It is actually normal for Ming Ming to have such thoughts.
"Can you give me some time to think about it?" He raised his head and looked at Sean, and then at Xiao Man. Cao Ming wanted to try hard to agree, but he couldn't help but swallow the words.
The veins were vaguely visible, but in the end he suppressed a sentence that made him blush.
"Cao Ming, this book is very important to me. I really want to know if I have the ability to be the author!" Sean knew in his heart, but he had to say this, but considering the relationship between Cao Ming and Xiao Man
, but it can only be done in a tactful way.
According to the Gregorian calendar used in the United States, it is already the end of January 1978 and is about to enter February. April 1st is getting closer and closer. It can be said that it is almost less than two months. Sean has been waiting.
That's amazing.
Cao Ming felt a pang in his heart. When he looked back, he only saw Sean's face. He sighed in his heart. For a moment, he couldn't make a choice. In the end, he could only nod, turn around and leave.
ps: I searched and found an excuse to explain my laziness - it's the Chinese New Year, the first month of the year, there are indeed a lot of things to do, and three friends are getting married, and just in these few days, have I saved any manuscripts, and there is no one at home.
Pulling the network cable means that today's charter flight will be coded for the next ten days. The task is very difficult...
I'll probably go out around the Lantern Festival, and the updates will stabilize after I go out, with a minimum of 2 updates a day. I've just been hanging around half-dead for the past few days, so please forgive me!!
