Chapter 37 Novel Listing

…

“I’m calling you here today. In addition to the venture capital issue, there are two more things to announce.” Guo Shouyun quickly glanced at the two and continued, “First, the company’s office space is not enough now. Tim, you Going to the building and renting out the two offices next to us. Second, from today onwards, I will be stepping down as CEO of the company and will be replaced by Tim George. I will only keep the chairmanship and be responsible for LinkedIn’s long-term development and strategic decisions.”

“Boss I…!”

After waving to interrupt Tim’s words, Guo Shouyun said loudly: “I know what you want to say, but I believe you are competent enough for this position.”

“Thank you Boss for your trust, I will do my best to cooperate with you to bring the company to a new height!” Tim George said with a slightly excited expression looking at Guo Shouyun’s encouraging and trusting eyes.

“I believe you can do it.” Guo Shouyun nodded encouragingly with a smile, “Martin, you will be the vice president of the company in the future, in charge of technology development!”

Martin Alexander nodded. He knows his strengths and weaknesses, so he doesn’t feel too much about Tim George’s promotion. Moreover, the net worth of 7 million US dollars is enough to keep him in a good mood.

“Okay, I’ve finished what I have to say. If there’s nothing else, you can go off and work!”

The two shook their heads almost simultaneously. After Guo Shouyun waved his hand, he pushed the door and left.

Seeing their backs disappear, Guo Shouyun sighed. After relaxing, he leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair. After closing his eyes, his expression became a little more relaxed.

The reason he gave up his job as CEO of LinkedIn was mainly to save more energy elsewhere, especially Google.

Google is different from LinkedIn. At LinkedIn, your identity as a founder will never change. But at Google, its presence is still weak. He needs to strengthen his position at Google. Moreover, so far Matrix Films is just an empty shell without even a minimum office space, which is related to its own planning in the entertainment industry. Of course, this state cannot be allowed to continue.

In addition, it takes time for him to write a book; it also takes time to improve the management organizations of ‘Guo’s Charity Fund’ and ‘Phoenix Capital’ and develop follow-up investment projects. Thorn Bird Publishing Company and Guo’s Business Group, although Christopher Ritter and Katherine Lincoln, as a major shareholder, he can’t really care about everything.

It is foreseeable that I will only become busier and busier in the future, so out of consideration for a rainy day, I must first think about how to reasonably allocate my energy and time before it comes to an end.

Three days passed in a flash. In a blink of an eye, it was time for Guo Shouyun’s three sets of books to be officially listed.

“There is no problem with the distribution. With the gimmicks of the prequel of “Harry Potter”, as well as Rowling’s guarantee, plus my previous contacts, 1 million copies of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” have all entered the major bookstores in the United States. From According to the current feedback, the sales situation is very good. It has sold 58,000 copies in one day. After word of mouth spreads, one million copies will be sold out in 3-5 weeks.”

Guo Shouyun nodded reassuringly.

“How about Pirates of the Caribbean and Fifty Shades of Grey sales?”

“Pirates of the Caribbean sold 2,677 copies and Fifty Shades of Grey sold 109 copies!”

“Got it! When will it be printed? How much? You decide. Also, send the daily sales results to my mailbox at nine o’clock in the evening!”

“Understood, don’t worry!”

“When will “National Treasure” be released?”

“A week later!”

“Um! … By the way, except Fifty Shades of Grey, other sets of books, in my name, send a set to Molly Bevan in the UK, and I will send you the address soon!”

“No need. Bruce, now your little girlfriend goes to Rowling’s almost every day, and the two of them chat very well. So, I’ll just send the book directly to Rowling.”

“Yes. But remember to give Rowling a set too. I don’t want her to say I favor one over another!”

“Hehe, don’t worry, I’ll arrange it!”

…

Lauren Jackson was lying on the desk bored, looking at the fat man on the podium in front of him who could crush the tabletop. At this moment, the history teacher was drooling. She really has no interest in the boring history of ancient Greece. Aristotle, Socrates and the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece are not as good as the handsome Tom Cruise to attract her attention. Therefore, even though she was still looking at the podium at this time, her mind had already flown to the gossip in the entertainment industry.

As a ninth grader at Monta Vista High School, it was a little far off for Lauren to go to college. In addition, there is not much homework, so it becomes a normal thing to slip away in class. Of course, it’s not just her, but the classmates around her too. Except for those who are really interested in history, no one cares about a boring history class.

“what!”

After paying attention to it for a while, Lauren, who was ‘hot’ by the history teacher’s fat figure, turned his attention elsewhere. Soon, an anomaly caught her attention.

“Jennifer?”

She tried to bark a few times, but she sat on her left side, no more than one meter away, with golden yellow shawl and curly hair, wearing a red suspender, dressed in fashionable and **** fashion, she was considered a beautiful girl in the eyes of ordinary people, no No sign of looking up.

The strange performance added to Lauren’s suspicions. You must know that they are both poor students sitting in the last row of the classroom, and they are also best friends. The two have long been familiar with each other. In the past, let alone shouting a few voices, just saying hello, this best friend who spent 80% of her class time on makeup would also take the initiative to chat with her, and by the way, let herself evaluate the effect of her makeup.

But now, not only does he ignore his own words, but he also concentrates his attention on the books like those good students. This is like the sun has come out from the west!

After finally enduring the get out of class, Lauren Jackson rushed over with a single stride, slapped it on the shoulder of his best friend.

“Hey…!”

“Lauren, you scared me to death!”

The trembling Jennifer’s face turned pale, and she almost threw the book in her hand. It wasn’t until he saw that the person standing beside him was his best friend, he calmed down.

She was so focused that she completely forgot about the outside world. Of course, it was inevitable to be frightened by the sudden touch.

Lauren, who didn’t think so, grabbed the book spread on the table.

“What book makes you so fascinated, show it to me too!”

“Hey, don’t mess around. If you mess up the page numbers, what do I think!” Jennifer said quickly.

“Fifty Shades of Grey? Is this a novel?”

Lauren, who saw the cover, was a little surprised.

“What do you think?”

After giving her best friend a glance, Jennifer snatched the book back from her hand.

“I thought you would change your mind to study hard to become a scholar. It turned out to be reading novels. However, is this novel so good that it makes you so fascinated?”

“Good-looking, this is the best novel I’ve ever read!”

Looking at the determined expression on her best friend’s face, Lauren was stunned for a moment.

“real?”

In order to prevent this girlfriend from disturbing her reading time, Jennifer took out the first volume of “Fifty Shades of Grey” she had finished from her desk and handed it over.

“See for yourself!”

Taking it over curiously, after returning to his seat and reading a few chapters, Lauren’s attention was completely attracted by the plot.

Lauren’s reading speed is very fast. It took her half a day and one night to read the 250,000-word volume, and she arrived at school early in the morning.

“Jennifer, what about the sequel? I want to see the sequel!”

“No, I haven’t finished the middle book yet!” Looking at the anxious expression on her best friend’s face, Jennifer thought about it, “If you want to read it, go buy a set for yourself, it’s not too expensive anyway!”

“Where did you buy it?” Lauren’s eyes lit up and she said immediately.

“Carroll Bookstore on Balvenie Street!”

“Got it, thank you!”

As soon as Jennifer finished speaking, Lauren Jackson rushed out of the classroom like a gust of wind.

“Hey, are you out of class?”

She didn’t get any answer except for the sound of footsteps leaving quickly.

When Lauren found the bookstore according to the address of her best friend, a long queue of nearly 10 meters had already lined up outside the door of the bookstore. Moreover, almost all the people lining up were girls of the same age as Lauren.

In an instant, a bad premonition rose from the bottom of Lauren’s heart.

“Sorry, “Fifty Shades of Grey” is sold out, please come back!”

Before Lauren stepped forward to ask clearly, a staff member in uniform came out and announced loudly to the crowd.

“It’s sold out, how can it be sold out?”

“Yeah, we queued for ten minutes!”

“We’re going to watch Fifty Shades of Grey!”

The girls who didn’t buy the book immediately shouted in dissatisfaction. For women, Huaxia has a classic assertion: a woman is equivalent to five hundred ducks. A group of angry women. Well, imagine for yourself!

“Ladies, all “Fifty Shades of Grey” in our bookstore are really sold out. However, you can leave your phone number or email address. When the new book arrives, we will notify you by phone or email as soon as possible .” With sweat on his forehead, the pale-faced clerk hurriedly said loudly.

“We’re going to watch Fifty Shades of Grey!”

“Yes, we’re going to see Fifty Shades of Grey!”…

The girls’ anger can’t be appeased with a word or two.

…

“Have you called?”

Inside the bookstore, Candice Carroll, the owner, asked the assistant beside him anxiously while listening to the commotion outside.

“It’s been called, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Jingju Bird Publishing Company said they are hurrying to reprint, and tomorrow morning at the latest, they will send us 100 sets of new books!”

“100 sets? My God, I want 500 sets! Why only one fifth?” Candace Carroll dissatisfied.

“I have already asked, and they said that there are too many people asking for the goods. It takes time to print and ship the books, so they can only give us so much temporarily!”

“Damn it, I should have asked for more in the first place!” He waved his fist in annoyance, “You call Thorn Bird Publishing Company every hour. Once a new book is printed, we must get it first.”

“Yes, Boss!”

“and many more!”

Stopping the assistant who was about to make a call, “I remember that the author of the three sets of books “Fifty Shades of Grey”, “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is the same person?”

“Indeed, remember to call him ‘Dongren’!” After thinking about it, the assistant nodded.

“East? It’s a weird name. Forget it, as long as it’s well written. … Remember, in addition to “Fifty Shades of Grey”, give me 300 copies of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and 1,000 copies of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” !”

“Boss, we haven’t sold out these two sets of books yet.”

“Looking at the situation today, do you think it’s hard to sell these books?”

The assistant suddenly realized that these three sets of books have only been on the market for a week. As word of mouth spreads, the sales speed will only get faster and faster. Therefore, in order to avoid the shortage of goods similar to “Fifty Shades of Grey”, it is the last word to make money by preparing in advance.

“Boss, I’ll call right away.”

Seeing the admiration in his assistant’s eyes, Candace Carroll’s anxious mood finally improved a lot.

“Go!”
