When the organizing committee was preparing for this award ceremony, it sent invitations to more than a thousand authors from the literary world around the world. These people are just one of the candidates for the professional jury. Who will get the right to vote in the end?
They don't know it themselves, but use a random mechanism.
Therefore, if someone wants to bribe this group of people through these methods, they have to be prepared to spend a lot of money. After all, 200 people will be selected from more than 1,000 people to participate in the final vote.
This ratio is only six to one, or even seven to one. It is possible that those you finally buy out will not have a chance to get the final voting rights, unless you can buy them all.
"Does the jury all favor the novel "Happiness"?"
"That's not true. In fact, the book "Colored People" that ranks first in online voting is also very popular. This kind of exposure of racial discrimination is actually very influential. As far as the current situation is concerned, the two books will be split 50-50.
.”
Chen Li didn't say anything. After all, no one knows who will win the grand prize until the last moment.
However, Xiao Muyou smiled slightly after hearing this. She had also read the book "Colored People", and read it no less than three times. It was written by a black author. The story is based on real events. It can be said that this
It is a very tragic story, but Xiao Muyou shed tears several times after reading it.
"Didn't we already get this book?"
"Well, in fact, except for the book "Happiness", we have already signed the four most popular ones. As soon as the awards ceremony is over, the new books will be promoted through all channels, and the authors will also cooperate with the company and attend several signings.
meeting."
When Xiao Muyou heard this, he was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and finally said.
"In this way, we will organize a reader exchange meeting for these authors on the grounds of contracting with the company, and ask these authors when they will come to China. This will be done before the award ceremony."
When Chen Li heard this, his eyes lit up. This was a conspiracy against a conspiracy.
As a publishing company, they do have reasons to help these signed authors promote their works. As for the one that is not signed, let him ask his behind-the-scenes boss to help.
But this is China. Not to mention that Yas Group does not have domestic publishing rights. His only way is to cooperate with domestic publishing companies. But there is still half a month before the award ceremony. Time is so tight. I am afraid that he will have to wait for it.
When it came time to promote qualifications, the time had already passed.
And they do this because they want the other party to see the strength of their group.
Indeed, this award must be absolutely fair and impartial, but publishing companies can use some legitimate means to promote it.
"Director Xiao, you are still awesome. I will ask someone to arrange it now. Because we need to sign a contract, the authors will arrive one after another in the next two days. I believe they will also be willing to cooperate in attending such a promotional event."
"Well, let the company's people arrange it secretly first. Then we can do an online and offline promotion together. If time permits, you can choose three cities, Kyoto, the central part, and then the south. You can make detailed arrangements.
"
"Okay, I will definitely do this beautifully."
Chen Li said with a face filled with fighting spirit. She felt like she had lost a lot of hair these days because of the Yas Group's troubles. Now she finally had a chance to make a comeback. She really wanted to see the faces of those people who knew about this.
, it must be very beautiful.
After talking about the business, Xiao Muyou lazily leaned on the sofa, raised his head, and met Alex's affectionate eyes. He immediately tensed up and wanted to leave here quickly.
"Since there is nothing else, I will go back first."
With that said, Xiao Muyou was about to get up and leave, but unfortunately Alex got up before her.
"Yuyou, I happen to have something to talk to you about. How about we find a place to sit down and have a good chat?"
Hearing Alex's words, Xiao Muyou suddenly felt helpless. This guy was like an invincible weakling. No matter how she refused, this guy became more and more courageous.
Xiao Muyou glanced at Alex and asked with a calm expression.
"Business or private matter?"
"Official business."
Alex replied that because he knew Xiao Muyou didn't like him, the woman would definitely refuse to talk about personal matters. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished his answer, he heard Xiao Muyou say.
"Sorry, I am no longer involved in the management of the company. Please discuss official matters with our Mr. Chen or Mr. Jiang."
After saying that, Xiao Muyou wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Alex stopped her.
"That's a private matter."
"Then I'm even more sorry. It seems that there is no personal matter between us to discuss. Alex, we are just a cooperative relationship. In addition, I have made it clear to you that I have someone I like."
"But aren't you married yet?"
Alex retorted directly. These words made Xiao Muyou very hurt. If Lei Yan hadn't been unconscious all this time, would she still be unmarried?
"Alex, he and I both have children. In my opinion, de facto marriage is more important than legal marriage."
"Yuyou, I don't mind. I love you, so I am willing to accept this child. I even look forward to the arrival of this child."
"I mind. Also, I believe that my Yan will wake up one day."
"But during the period when he doesn't wake up, why don't you try to accept me. Maybe one day you will find that I am more suitable than him."
Xiao Muyou was so tired of being entangled that she really wanted to split this man's brain open to see what its structure was.
How can anyone be willing to be a spare tire, and how can anyone be willing to be a father?
Xiao Muyou didn't want to continue to be entangled, because every time he talked about such a topic with Alex, it seemed that there would always be an endless loop in the end, that is, no matter how Xiao Muyou refused, this guy still had his own way of doing things.
It's your business to refuse, but it doesn't stop me from pursuing you unless one day I want to give up.
Xiao Muyou didn't say anything, picked up her bag, winked at Chen Li, and then walked directly from the other side of the sofa to the door.
At this time, Chen Li also stopped Alex who wanted to continue chasing him, but luckily, he blocked his way.
"Mr. Alex, you have heard the arrangements made by Director Xiao just now. Why don't we discuss the specific arrangements for these meetings first."
How could Alex not see that Chen Li was deliberately blocking him? He was very angry, but as a gentleman, he could only endure it and watched Xiao Muyou walk out of the office.
"Chen Li, you ruined my relationship with Youyou again."
When Chen Li heard this, he shrugged.
"Alex, first of all, you and our Director Xiao only have a cooperative relationship. Secondly, our Director Xiao has someone he loves. In our place, your behavior is called third-party interference, and it is very unpopular.
"
"Oh, no, I am bravely pursuing my love. In our place, as long as we are not married, we can fight for it. Who can guarantee that the person you love now will be your future partner? I just gave Youyou a better one.
s Choice."
Having said this, Alex touched his hair and said something that he thought was perfect.
"Am I not better than Mr. Lei who doesn't know when he will wake up? I am the heir to the Potter family, the largest publisher in Europe. My grandfather has royal blood. I have a handsome appearance. Youyou and I are the best.
A perfect couple, in your words, they are called a golden boy and a beautiful girl."
After hearing this, Chen Li put his forehead in his hands and muttered, "How narcissistic is this? How come this guy has only learned these words after coming to China for a few months."
But in Chen Li's opinion, only the man Xiao Muyou likes is the most suitable man for her.
"I'm sorry, Alex, there is a saying in China called the beauty of a minister, and another saying is not to force others to make things difficult for you. What you are doing to us, Director Xiao, is forcing people to make things difficult for you."
Chen Li said and walked towards the door of the office.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Alex, I need to discuss the readers' meeting with Mr. Jiang, so I won't entertain you. You can do it yourself."
After saying that, Chen Li walked out of her office. She didn't want to talk to this guy.
