The two of them walked around until about ten o'clock. At this time, there were still many people on the street, and there was a lively festive atmosphere everywhere. However, Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan did not plan to continue shopping. It was rare to have this alone time, so they had to make good use of it.
stand up.
At 9:30 a.m. the next day, the official WeChat account of the Ministry of Culture announced the bidding results. As expected, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries won the right to host the event.
At around 10:30 in the morning, Xiao Muyou personally went to the Ministry of Culture to obtain the authorization letter for hosting this international ceremony, and learned that the first international literary awards ceremony will be held in May next year, which means that there are still seven weeks left.
It takes about a month to prepare for Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries.
Seven months seems like a long time, but unlike other literary works, it cannot be completed quickly. For some authors, it may take three to five years, or even longer, to create a work from preliminary preparation, collecting information to final writing.
For Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries, it is still very difficult to collect works.
Especially since this is the first session and I don’t have any experience, it can be said that everything is crossing the river by feeling for stones. However, this is both a challenge and an opportunity for Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries to successfully enter the international stage.
"Mr. Xiao, time is tight and the task is heavy. Our requirement is that our awards ceremony must be a success and literary creators around the world must pay attention to our award. Therefore, in terms of selecting judges, we must not limit ourselves to this small country.
A small world."
Minister Liang of the Ministry of Culture, as the official person in charge of this event, spoke to Xiao Muyou in a serious and expectant tone.
Xiao Muyou also nodded seriously.
"Minister Liang, don't worry, we have already made plans for this. This time I am going to set up a judging panel, which will consist of eight main judges and thirty judges, and these eight main judges must come from eight different countries.
Country, we currently have a preliminary list, and we will contact these judges personally later."
Hearing Xiao Muyou's words, a flash of surprise flashed across Minister Liang's face. He didn't expect that Yaohua Cultural Creation's preparations had been so meticulous. Even thinking of these, it seemed that Yaohua Cultural Creation had long been interested in winning this project.
This grand ceremony is fully guaranteed.
"Okay, that's right. Now that you have a detailed plan, I won't say much else. As for selecting those judges, we still need to do a final review. We must ensure that these judges are fair and equitable and cannot have cultural discrimination.
.”
"Don't worry, I believe that the list we have compiled will definitely satisfy everyone and allow the literary creators participating in this competition to have no worries."
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. Okay, there is nothing else to advise. I can see that you have made enough preparations, so go ahead and do it and let people all over the world see it."
The strength of our country is that in the cultural field, we have a history of more than 5,000 years, and we are not afraid of anyone challenging us."
Xiao Muyou stayed at the Ministry of Culture for more than an hour before leaving. While driving, he looked at the red and glowing authorization letter on the passenger side. Xiao Muyou smiled knowingly. After working hard for several months, the dust finally settled.
I believe that in the near future, everyone will see a brand new Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries.
After returning to the company, Xiao Muyou hurriedly had lunch and held a meeting. First, he conveyed the Ministry of Culture's purpose and requirements for the event, and then he asked everyone to discuss a list.
In the future, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries will establish a new department specifically to serve this international festival, and the general person in charge of this department will be Xiao Muyou himself, and all the work of this department will report directly to Xiao Muyou.
"Old Jiang, the list I gave you before will be officially implemented from now on. It contains all the candidates for the jury members that I have carefully selected. I will try to get them all to participate."
Jiang Bo thought of the list Xiao Muyou gave him half a month ago. At first, he didn't know what it was for, but he didn't expect it to be a list of members of the jury.
Thinking of the big names in the literary world above, Jiang Bo took a breath of air. Everyone above them has one or more works that have been handed down from generation to generation. Even after decades or hundreds of years, they can still be called
classic work.
If these people were allowed to become members of the jury, I'm afraid they would cause a complete sensation in the literary circle.
"Mr. Xiao, I saw you said above that the eight main judges must come from eight different countries. Do you really have to do this? I looked at the other three major awards and one-third of their judges are from them.
National judges, in fact, we don’t have to go to this level.”
Jiang Bo is still a little selfish in his heart. After all, this is the first awards ceremony in the Chinese literary world that may become an international award. If more judges from home countries can be arranged, it will be equivalent to giving more opportunities to literary creators from his country.
"No, they must come from different countries. I know that the three major awards have gradually changed in quality over the years and have become their own country's own cute games. But you haven't noticed that the quality of the works that have participated in the last few sessions has become increasingly inferior.
Is it the past? Is it really because the literary world has begun to regress? No, it is because many creators know that their works will not receive the awards they deserve even if they participate, so they would rather not participate."
Speaking of this, Xiao Muyou remembered a Norwegian novel many years ago. It was the most popular novel that won the prize. In the end, it only won a consolation prize.
Xiao Muyou didn't want this to happen at the awards ceremony hosted by Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries. She had to be responsible for every work she participated in.
After listening to Xiao Muyou's words, Jiang Bo did not insist anymore. He knew that Xiao Muyou's approach was the most correct, but he selfishly wanted to gain some opportunities for the creators of his country.
After that, some follow-up arrangements were discussed at the meeting. The meeting lasted for three and a half hours. At the end, everyone was very excited because at the meeting, Xiao Muyou announced many future plans. If these plans
If it can be implemented smoothly, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries will become famous internationally.
After the meeting, Xiao Muyou had no time to rest, so Jiang Bo followed her to the office.
"How about the Yas Group?"
"I already contacted the Ministry of Culture when you went to the Ministry of Culture in the morning. The other party also knew that Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries had won the right to host, and was very interested in subsequent cooperation. However, I heard that this time the contacts were also from island countries.
Kuta Co., Ltd.”
"Kuda Co., Ltd. didn't it start from the comics industry? I remember they weren't very good at traditional literature?"
Xiao Muyou was a little surprised when he heard about this company. The island country's comic industry has always been among the world's leaders, and Kuta Co., Ltd. is one of the three major comic companies in the island country. Several of its comic works have been in sales in recent years.
Top of the list.
Jiang Bo heard this and smiled bitterly.
"Kuda Co., Ltd. just acquired a domestic literary publishing company last month, which can be regarded as making up for their shortcomings. This time, they also want to take the opportunity to enter the field of traditional literature."
Okay, because it was a company on the island country, Xiao Muyou didn't pay much attention to it, but now that she heard the news, she wouldn't be blindly confident and not take the other party seriously. After thinking for a moment, she said.
"Let's get in touch with the people at Yas Group first and get a feel for what's going on. After all, in the field of traditional literature, Yaohua Cultural Creation still has advantages over Kuta Co., Ltd."
Jiang Bo nodded and was about to leave. Xiao Muyou thought of his meeting with Zhou Qianhe last night and stopped Jiang Bo again.
"Old Jiang, wait a minute, I have something else I want to tell you."
With that said, Xiao Muyou motioned Jiang Bo to sit down and chat. Jiang Bo walked back to his desk, pulled out his chair and sat down. Xiao Muyou poured Jiang Bo a cup of tea and then spoke.
"Zhou Qianhe and I negotiated a deal last night."
When Xiao Muyou said this, Jiang Bo suddenly became interested, but he couldn't guess what the deal was yet, so he could only wait patiently and quietly for Xiao Muyou to continue.
"Zhou Qianhe hopes that I can join their publishing house."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Bo immediately thought of what was going on.
"She wants to weaken the rights of those shareholders? Is she going to make a complete rectification?"
As expected of a talent poached with a high salary, Xiao Muyou just mentioned this, Jiang Bo guessed Zhou Qianhe's intention, Xiao Muyou nodded.
"I agree, but I am not prepared to invest in the name of Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries. This time it involves an investment of one billion..."
Xiao Muyou roughly told Jiang Bo the details of her discussion with Zhou Qianhe. When Jiang Bo heard this number, he took a deep breath again. This is not a small sum. One billion. How many companies are there now?
Its total assets are worth one billion.
But considering the identity of their CEO, one billion seems to be nothing to her.
However, Jiang Bo didn't understand why Xiao Muyou told him about this matter. After all, this was Xiao Muyou's personal investment and had nothing to do with the company.
"Mr. Xiao, do you need me to do anything?"
Xiao Muyou likes to chat with people like Jiang Bo who are easy to understand. She smiled and said.
"Although I have invested in Wenhua Publishing House, my main focus will still be on Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries, so I need to send someone I trust to be in charge."
When Jiang Bo heard this, he frowned slightly. Could it be that he wanted him to go there? To be honest, he didn't want to.
Although Wenhua Publishing House is more famous in the industry than Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries, it has been declining in recent years and is not as powerful as Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries. Especially now that Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries has won the exclusive right to host international festivals.
, it won’t be long before Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries will stand at the top of the industry.
If he were transferred to Wenhua Publishing House at this time, I'm afraid he would only be sitting in the position of vice president. Although the level is the same, the prospects would definitely not be as good as those of Yaohua Publishing House.
Seeing cousin Jiang Bo's slight change, Xiao Muyou realized that he might have misunderstood her thoughts, and immediately explained again.
"Don't worry, I don't want to let you go. Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries still needs you to take charge."
When Xiao Muyou said this, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly awkwardly. He wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he remained silent and waited for Xiao Muyou to continue.
"I have taken a fancy to Han Feng next to you. You brought him to Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries in the first place. He has been your assistant all these years. There is no doubt about his ability. As for his character, since you can use him
