Jane Eyre was so popular that day that it attracted the attention of peer publishers. When Kevin won the seventh London literature competition, many of these publishers called Kevin to ask for a draft. But Kevin refused one by one. Now to see Kevin's new book get such a good sales, my heart is also very regret.
"Well, if I could get Kevin and sign his book, it would be a big profit."
Dehai publishing house, as a famous publishing house in the industry, naturally pays attention to this. Especially vice president Lavin. Raven was optimistic about this man's market when Kevin won the seventh London literature competition, and he also personally told Zela to contact Kevin and try to sign a publishing contract with him.
Now that Kevin's Jane Eyre is on the market so soon, it's proof that Zela hasn't dealt with her.
So, he is very angry, even if Zela is very beautiful, full of femininity, let the man see want to hold in his arms, can't bear to scold that. But today's result, he had to talk to Zela.
At this time, Zela is also in the office. She also saw the news of Jane Eyre. However, she didn't think Jane Eyre had such strength. She thought it was just because Kevin won the London literature competition, and now the new book has been published, and the organizers have carried out a packaging and promotion.
She believes that when the buyers see that the content is not wonderful or not as good as they expect, the sales of Jane Eyre will run aground. At that time, the printing of London literature press or the purchase of major picture bookstores will lose money.
"Come in, please." When she heard the knock, Zela whispered.
"Vice president, why are you here? Oh, please sit down
"Zela, you should have seen today's news. As soon as Kevin's new book was published, it immediately became popular." Raven asked deliberately.
"Well, I see. I wonder if it's the marketing and packaging of London Literature Press." When Zela finished this sentence, she had a premonition of the real reason why Laven was looking for her.
"But before that, I told you to talk to Kevin? We're going to try to sign him. If that's the case, it's us who make a lot of money today. " Raven said.
This is the country of gentlemen, the tone of scolding also appears so ordinary, and will not feel very rude.
"Dear vice president Lavin, I did contact each other as you told me, and I also tried to sign a publishing contract with him. But they didn't like it. Up to now, he has never contacted me again. " Zela said.
"I see. You've already contacted each other. You can't blame it all. Well, you can work in peace. We need to dig out as many good works as possible, so that the company can be competitive. "
When Raven left Zela's office, he thought it was not so simple, so he planned to ask someone to inquire about the whole story.
After some investigation, he found that Zela did contact Kevin, and Kevin did refuse him. It's just that before that, Zela found out what happened to Kevin's Jane Eyre.
Raven is thinking that the reason why Kevin rejected Zela must be in consideration of this level. After all, new people are always proud. It seems that he has to come out in person for some things.
Raven is a person who can foresee business opportunities all the time. At that time, Dehai publishing house was a small publishing house, which was not well-known in the British literary world. That is to say, under his wise leadership, he has come to today's position step by step.
He could imagine that Kevin's next novel would be a best seller anyway. After inquiry, he also learned that Kevin did not sign a long-term contract with other publishers. Maybe, I still have a chance.
As long as we sign a long-term contract with Kevin, the books written by Kevin can only be published in our own publishing house. This is a good thing for Dehai publishing house.
In this era, speed is the best business opportunity. So Raven immediately dials Kevin's number and tries to ask him out to meet him.
Kevin didn't have class today. After seeing the strange phone number, although he didn't want to talk about it, he picked it up out of politeness.
"Hello, are you Mr. Kevin? Oh, let me introduce myself first. My name is Raven. I'm the vice president of Dehai publishing house. I'm very glad that you and I are in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. It's so beautiful, just like your talent. " Raven said politely.
"Oh, Hello, dear Mr. Raven. Can I help you? "
"Is there a little thing? I don't know. Can we meet? Maybe there are some things that we need to meet for a better conversation. " Raven said.
"Well, you're right. I'll be there in a minute."
"Diane's restaurant. I'll wait for you there. Oh, thank you, Mr. Kevin. I'll see you later. Goodbye. "
Kevin doesn't know what Dehai press is looking for at this time, but he doesn't refuse. Besides, the other party is the vice president of Dehai publishing house. If he refuses to meet the other party at this time, he seems to be a little noble.
When Kevin arrives at the diner, he dials Raven's phone number, and then Raven goes out of the door and takes Kevin into a VIP seat.
"I didn't expect Mr. Kevin to be so young. Seeing you, I seem to see the future of English literature." Lavin praised it.
"Thank you, Mr. Raven. Oh, let's get to the point. I wonder what Mr. raven is going to talk to me about this time? " Kevin is not the kind of person who talks too much, so he doesn't want to waste too much time.
"Mr. Kevin is so cheerful. OK, I think I have to be quick, too. Is Mr. Kevin interested in signing a long-term contract with our publishing house? That is to say, all your future novels will be published by our publishing house, and we will give you the greatest benefit. "
"I'm sorry, your Zela editor contacted me before, and I explained my point of view. Maybe I won't sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. I hope Mr. Raven will understand. " Kevin refused to come.
"Dear Kevin, I know about you and Zela. You may have some misunderstandings with editor Zela. Of course, these are small things, and I believe you won't pay attention to them. Therefore, you can consider signing a long-term contract with our publishing house. You know, Dehai publishing is not only in Edinburgh, Scotland, even in the UK, it has a position that no other publishing house can match. " Raven continued.
"Indeed, I have to admit the excellence of your club. Even, I deeply believe that you will go further and become more excellent. "
"Mr. Kevin has great ideas. Come and work with us. Rest assured, we will give you satisfactory remuneration. As long as you like. " After hearing Kevin's praise for Dehai publishing house, Lavin's negotiation came to an end.
"No, dear Mr. raven, as I said, I may not sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. So, I'm very sorry. " Kevin's attitude is still so firm.
"Maybe you shouldn't make a decision too early. You know, signing a contract with our publishing house is not a loss. We have a lot of contacts, companies, your future works of various copyright and channels, we are confident to help you get through. This is the dream of many writers. Let's hope Mr. Kevin doesn't miss this good opportunity because of his enthusiasm. "
Raven thought that the reason why Kevin rejected himself so quickly might have something to do with Zela getting his manuscript into the trash can, so that's why he said that.
"But dear Mr. raven, I'm sorry, it's the result of careful consideration. Thank you for your appreciation. " Kevin said.
"Well, here's my card. When you think about it, please call me at any time."
With that, raven handed his business card to Kevin. Kevin just took the card out of politeness and put it in his pocket without looking at it carefully.
Many authors sign long-term publishing contracts with publishers just for the sake of publishing smoothly when they are at their wits' end. Now Kevin has the memory of many literary works on earth. Any one of these works can be regarded as a classic. As for publishing, he doesn't worry at all.
