Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Three: Expansive Tomomumumu

"That's why I often say that a temporary setback is nothing, as long as you can seize the opportunity, there will be a day when you will make a comeback. Look, look at me!"

Sitting in the editor-in-chief's office, Thompson was very proud to promote his philosophy of life to several editors who came in to report.

With the credit for recommending the book "The Lord of the Rings", he not only returned to the power center of Random House headquarters, but also restored the glory of being the editor-in-chief in one fell swoop, had an independent office, and managed a seven-person editor group.

To know......

In Random House, not just any position can have an independent office. Apart from the management, only the "editor-in-chief" has this honor. But here, if you want to become the editor-in-chief, the requirements are simple and easy, but difficult to say Difficult, that is to have a globally published best-selling author under his command.

Thompson once had this qualification.

It's a pity that after the works of its authors suffered from Waterloo in the world one after another, causing the company to lose a lot of resources, the position of editor-in-chief was naturally taken over by the latecomers, and gradually marginalized, and was later even assigned to the so-called The "literary desert" of China.

The desert of literature does not mean that there is no soil for the development of literature in China, but that the literature bred and born in China basically has a strong local flavor. It may still be popular in their country, but it will not be popular in the global overseas market. , cultural differences are also highlighted.

But there is no way out, and there is no way out, and there is another village, who can say that it was not a great opportunity for Thompson to come to Huaguo at that time, otherwise, how could he meet by chance when he participated in the Golden Bookmark Award? How could the fledgling Li Chungang have the opportunity to read "The Lord of the Rings", a fantasy masterpiece that can be called the masterpiece of the century!

In fact, what other people don’t know is that from the day Thompson sat back in the editor’s office, he had already planned to write a personal biography in the future to include all his ups and downs in the workplace. The most important thing is to write about the experience of meeting Li Chungang for the first time in Shanghai. Presumably, when Li Chungang becomes famous and becomes a global best-selling author in the future, this experience can become the "selling point" of his personal autobiography.

Publishing a personal autobiography may not be common in China, but it is not too much in the United States.

Anyone who is a bit famous will have the idea of ​​publishing a personal autobiography about himself when his career ends, and put it into action. The most typical ones are the presidents of the United States. Almost every one of them will publish a book after leaving office, and some even publish two or three books!

The other editor below heard the words and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the position of the editor-in-chief must belong to Mr. Thompson. Before, it was just being framed by other villains in the company. Now it's just It is justifiable to go back to the headquarters and get back what belongs to me."

"that is!"

"It's because the people on President Oswald's side don't like editor-in-chief Thompson."

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that there would be such a talented author in a place like Huaguo. That Li Chungang was only 22 years old, and he could write such a magnificent epic fantasy masterpiece as "The Lord of the Rings". How long."

"I suggest you take the time to read a few more educational books from Huaguo, maybe they were cultivated from an early age!"

"..."

"Aren't you worried that "The Lord of the Rings" did not overwhelm Kepel Ron's "The Lost City" in the end?"

The editor expressed the concerns of the lower-level editors in Caitlin's faction.

You must know that except for the core editors, these low-level editors have read a little bit of the beginning of "Lord of the Rings" at most. They really can't understand what the leaders think, and why they have such confidence. Caitlin, deeply influenced by her personality charm, may have chosen to switch to the Oswald camp for the sake of her future.

"You can rest assured! Let me tell you..."

"Knock knock—"

Just when Thompson was about to brag about the awesomeness of the book "The Lord of the Rings" to his subordinates, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and the door of the office was pushed open from the outside without saying a word. You must know that the spirit of the contract is what is emphasized in foreign countries. Unless a non-disclosure agreement is signed, otherwise foreigners do not understand what it means to keep secret.

After finally returning to the position of editor-in-chief, he was about to perform well in front of his subordinates and take advantage of the situation. When he was interrupted so rudely, Thompson suddenly became angry and wanted to "educate" this guy who came in without warning. "When I saw the majesty from the editor-in-chief, the moment I looked up...

Swish!

Thompson quickly got up from his seat with an agility that didn't match his bloated figure, and even more unexpectedly walked around the several editors blocking him, and walked towards his office The visitor smiled and said:

"Boss Lin, what kind of wind brought you here?"

During the period when he was assigned to Shanghai, the magical capital, apart from eating all the authentic delicacies in Shanghai, he did not make any progress at all. At least he learned a little bit of polite manners from the Chinese people. It is not surprising that Lin Meng appeared That's when it came in handy.

As shrewd as he is, he knows a little bit better, what is the reason why he was able to return to the headquarters of Random House and have an independent office that many people dream of! ? If it is just recommending "The Lord of the Rings", it is indeed a great achievement for Caitlin, but it will not be able to raise several levels in the company's treatment and status all at once. It is not the most important thing in Random House Contact Li Chungang first, and he is the one who has the best relationship with Li Chungang on the surface!

In order to tie Li Chungang to the "same chariot", Caitlin's approach is understandable.

"This is the content of the second part of The Two Towers of The Lord of the Rings. It took Chun Gang a week to complete it. Please complete the review as soon as possible and have it translated into various languages."

Dealing with a middle-aged man with a big belly like Thompson, Lin Meng said that he was a little underwhelmed for a second. He simply and quickly explained the things at work, and then copied the entire content of the Chinese and English versions of "The Lord of the Rings II The Two Towers" in his hand. Gently handed over the USB flash drive to the other party, then turned around and prepared to leave without looking back.

It’s just that when he half-stepped out of the office door, he stopped the script as if he remembered something, and turned around to remind him: “By the way, I don’t need to remind you about confidentiality work.”

This was an impromptu idea after she saw four or five people sitting in Thompson's office.

Such things as "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han" are not common in foreign countries, and Lin Meng is not clear, but this kind of thing is not too much in China, not to mention that business spies will be planted among colleagues, even in the company There will also be people who are willing to be that "information dealer" for a while.

Under the temptation of money, how much is professional ethics worth?
