"That's it, Eric, can I give this book to my Publishing House to operate it?" Michael · Claus said it straightforwardly without concealing his intentions.

Eric took a look at the black girl who had finished printing and was binding, and then said to Michael · Claus: "Sorry, Michael, although I appreciate your approval, but you know, I want to go to some of the larger Publishing House touch Take luck. Just like every parent wants their child to be admitted to an Ivy League school, are you right? "

Michael's expression is not disappointed at all, and smiled: "Eric, did you fully understand those large Publishing Houses, maybe, we can find a place to talk, I know there is a cafe not far away , How about my treat? "

Eric took the manuscripts bound by black girls and packed the first manuscript into the bag and directly refused: "Sorry, Michael, I will be late for work. If the manuscript is rejected by those Publishing House in the future, I will Contact you. "

After finishing Eric, he walked out of the printing shop with his backpack, and drove car toward Italian Restaurant. The Michael in the printing shop only hesitated a little, rushed out of the shop immediately, and drove to follow. He has an intuition that if he misses this opportunity, he may regret it for a lifetime. This intuitive three-pointer is directed at the novel named "Jurassic Park", and the seven-pointer is indeed aimed at the young man Eric.

Although I only read the first half of the novel, Michael was surprised to find that Eric not only incorporated many high-tech factors such as genetic engineering, chaos theory, nanotechnology and other high-tech factors that young people of his age may have heard of. In the meantime, and without losing the interest of the novel, the plot twists and turns are fascinating.

He has not seen examples of incorporating many high technologies into novels, but most of them are very jerky, and even some novels have been written into popular science readings. The type of novel is obviously suitable for various types of novels. Readers are not pleased.

Eric parked the car in the parking lot, turned around and found that a black car also stopped a short distance away. Michael · Claus got off the car, apparently following him. This made the little vanity in Eric's heart a little satisfied, and unconsciously also had a little affection for Michael.

"Hey, Eric." Michael raised his hand to Eric and was about to talk. Eric pointed to his watch and said, "That, Michael, look, it's nine o'clock immediately. I'm here Italian Restaurant as a waiter, maybe you do n’t mind ordering another breakfast? The restaurant is very quiet before ten o'clock, there is an hour. "

Michael nodded knowingly and followed Eric into the restaurant.

Eric changed clothes and came out. Michael was already sitting in the seat by the window. In front of him was a morning meal that had already been eaten.

"I explained it to Mr. Jeff, but you have to hurry up." Eric sat opposite Michael and smiled: "Although I am young, I am not so easy to be persuaded."

Michael smiled and said: "I believe you listened to my explanation and you will definitely hand over the book to me. I just said that you may not understand those large-scale Publishing House. Simon & Schuster spent eleven years, starting with the most basic review editor, because the competition department Manager failed to leave, he founded Night Elf Publishing House. "

"Does these have anything to do with the topic we are going to talk about now?" As a loser of previous life, Eric is most afraid of others telling his own history of struggle, and can't help but insert a sentence.

"Do n’t worry, young man, I said these are just to let you know. My next words are true and credible. Did you know that when I was the editor of the review, I reviewed tens of thousands every day There are even hundreds of thousands of words in manuscripts. Although there are ... well, there are many bad manuscripts, but there are also many manuscripts that have published value. At most, the number of books published in a year has reached 2,000, you can imagine As a new person, even if it is published, how many promotional and marketing resources can you get from these thousands of publications? "

After finishing Michael, stopped and took a sip, leaving Eric some time to think. Eric approved the words Michael in his heart, but did not say anything. He just used his eyes to signal Michael to continue.

Michael raised his hand slightly and said like a speech: "Although my Publishing House is small, I have extensive experience in book publishing and marketing. And my Publishing House has mainly done It is the publication of novels such as science fiction, adventure, and thriller. Although only more than ten novels are published every year, it has already gained a certain reputation in the industry. You handed over "Jurassic Park" to me. Make sure to use all the resources at my disposal to publish this novel, in the shortest time, to establish the reputation of this book. And in my experience, under my full operation, this book is likely to rush into the best-selling book rankings List. "

Michael reveals all his cards, and then quietly awaits the decision of Eric.

Eric was a bit absent-minded about Michael, a small or micro Publishing House, even if all the resources can have much energy?

He is already a middle-aged uncle. In the complicated circle of previous life, he has seen strange pigs running around the world. Of course, it will not change your original intention like a passionate young man because of the tempting words of Michael · Claus. However, Michael actually hit the heart of Eric in one sentence: the reputation of "Jurassic Park" started in the shortest time.

No matter what era it is, fame is an invisible but useful resource. Eric now wants to realize his plan, his biggest weakness is age, a young man will naturally give people a feeling of untrustworthiness.

But if you have enough fame, this shortcoming will be well covered up. When an 18-year-old high school student makes a movie with Director, everyone will blame it for chaos and do not know how high it is. And if an 18-year-old genius writer makes a movie, the result will definitely be different. There will definitely be criticism, but more people will definitely say: Oh, what the genius kid is doing amazing things again.

Eric tentatively said: "I have to say, Michael, I am really a bit excited about your conditions. However, these are all your words, I don't know anything about your Publishing House."

"This is a good proof," Michael said without panic. "In the recent The New York Times bestseller list, there is exactly one of my Publishing House books on the list. Although it is only the last one, this one The book has been purchased by 20th Century Fox for the movie copyright, and is likely to be made into a movie in the next few years. "

If Eric believes in Michael, he does n’t need to lie on this kind of thing that is easy to be dismantled, saying: "So, how about taking the time to talk about specific cooperation?"

Michael was shocked and said in surprise: "You ... did you agree?"

"Yes," Eric nodded and smiled: "To be honest, I can't wait to see my novel made into a book."

"So, how about this evening, I think you might need to work now." Michael pointed to the increasing number of guests in the restaurant.

After the two agreed on the meeting place, Michael left the restaurant with satisfaction.

"Eric, what did you talk to that person just now, and you look happy now?" Jeff asked. Eric just said to discuss some things with friends, so he was a little curious.

Eric handed the menu just ordered by the guest to the kitchen colleague, and then told Jeff of the guest attendant: "Good news, Jeff, that person is just Boss of Publishing House, I will publish my novel soon."

Jeff is a bit messy and somewhat suspicious: "Fiction, did n’t you say you were writing script yesterday, how did you rewrite the novel again, do you give up the Director ideal so quickly and plan to be a writer?"

Eric said: "Of course not, my goal will not change at will. When Director does not conflict with writing novels, does it? Right, my novels are in my backpack in the dressing room, Jeff, you can Check it out and give me some advice. "

Jeff turned to the dressing room with doubts. He thought that Eric ’s novel was a few thousand words short. When he saw a thick stack of novels, Jeff ’s two eyes almost glared out. It must be more than one hundred thousand words. I have never written so many words in my life.

After the busiest meal time at noon, I spent a little more leisure time. The restaurant staff found out that Boss had disappeared for several hours in a row. This is a very rare thing for the Fatty who likes to wander around and show his sense of presence.

When the employees were discussing whether to look for Boss, Jeff got out of the dressing room and patted Eric on the shoulder: "It ’s a good novel, I ’m sure about one thing now, you will soon Will resign. "After saying these words, Jeff left the old god.

As soon as the Boss figure disappeared, a group of people gathered around and asked what happened to Eric.

So throughout the afternoon, from time to time, waiters and even kitchen staff took the time to get into the dressing room and took turns reading the Eric manuscripts. Even after work, a pretty waitress in the restaurant asked her coquettishly if she could take the manuscript home to read.

Although the glamour of the pretty girl makes Eric a little bit ecstatic, he can only refuse this request Eric. Although several copies of the novel are no longer useful, and it is okay to lend her, but the novel is not published after all, he did not want to be in a situation before this. According to other people's works for owning other people's works, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign are unknown, he previous life personally experienced this kind of thing.
