Chapter 79

Who says Europeans and Americans are blind to Asian faces?

Wang Jian looked at the luxury jewelry store. From time to time, some people squinted because of their age.

And looking at lily, a little cramped.

Thinking of the rumor, he waved to the clerk of the luxury jewelry store and asked, "can I have a private space?"

The clerk in the luxury jewelry store, looking at Lily in a casual dress in a bit of embarrassment, replied: "VIP room, you need a certain amount of consumption, and you have to be a well-known person."

Consumption amount is easy to handle, but celebrities

Hollywood stars?

Wang Jian thought about it. Anyway, he would not come here often. He would lose his face.

So he said, "I've published two best sellers. Is that ok?"

"Then we need to make sure." The luxury shop assistant motioned to Wang Jian to follow her.

Then she took out a picture book full of pictures.

Wang Jian saw that the album was marked with "writer".

The assistant opened the album and asked respectfully, "what's your name?"

"Wang Jian."

Then the clerk began to search by the catalog.

A moment later, she compared the photos and said with a smile, "please follow me."

She made a please sign and led them into a room behind the public store.

In the room, there are two rows of sofas and tea table besides mirrors on all sides.

Lily took Wang Jian's hand awkwardly. For a moment, she was a little at a loss.

But Wang Jian looked at it with a surprised look on his face and exclaimed in his heart, "it turns out that the legend is true!"

"Sit down, please." The shop assistant said to them with the champagne in his hand.

After Wang Jian and Lily sit on the sofa.

The clerk took out another catalogue and said, "these are all new evening dresses of this year. You just need to point out what you need to try on, and someone will send them to you."

Wang Jian pointed to the champagne, "is that all you have?"

"Of course not. This is the drink list."

He took a pamphlet, looked at it, and said, "mineral water?"

"As you wish." The clerk left quickly and came back quickly.

It's just that I have two bottles of Voss mineral water in my hand.

Lily obviously has not experienced this, she is a little dull looking at everything in front of her.

Until Wang Jian pushed the catalogue of evening dress.

"I think you look better in red." Wang Jian said.

Lily looks at the shop assistant, but she still feels a little stuck.

Wang Jian observed and said to the shop assistant, "go out first. I'll call you later."

"Yes, sir." The clerk pointed to the button on the desk and said, "you just need to press here once, and someone will come to serve you."

Then he left here.

Lily was obviously relieved to see the assistant leave.

She looked at Wang Jian in surprise and asked, "how do you know that?"

"Mr. Stephen King has no intention of mentioning it." Wang Jian shrugged.

Lily looks at Wang Jian with complicated eyes.

"Why don't you like it here?" Wang Jian asked

"No, it's not." Lily flurried away her eyes and began to look through the catalog.

But, I do not know whether intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes always fall on the red evening dress.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Jian pressed the button.

The clerk came in and wrote down the numbers in the catalogue.

Then, pushing a row of evening dress into the room, and respectfully back.

Then, at Wang Jian's request, Lily began to try on these evening dresses.

In the end, they chose a long red evening dress and a pair of white stiletto heels.

When he checked out, Wang Jian had to sigh that the same excellent price matched the excellent service quality.

However, in order not to stimulate the nervous lily, he only said this in his heart.

Eight in the evening.

Lily, with Wang Jian's arm in her arm, appears at the party at random house.

This banquet is obviously one grade lower than that of the New York Times.

Most of those present were writers at the back of the bestseller list.

Of course, in proportion to fame, there are also the personalities of these writers.

Most of the people here are smiling and socializing around, but few of them are like "everyone is drunk, I wake up alone".

At this time, Tom in a tuxedo came over with a smile.

He is surrounded by his girlfriend who has been in love for five years.

"Wang, the target of this banquet should be you." Tom whispered and asked his girlfriend to accompany lily, who didn't know what to do.

"Me? Do they really want to publish a sequel to arcane Wang Jian asked suspiciously."Probably more than that." Tom said, "you should be approached by the top of the publishing house later."

Sometimes, people just don't talk about it.

Just as Wang Jian and Tom were discussing in a low voice, the editor in chief of Langdon publishing house appeared at the meeting.

First, he knocked his glass and said a lot about the achievements of the publishing house in the first half of the year. Then he wished you a happy dinner.

Then the old white man came straight to Wang Jian.

He said with a cordial smile: "welcome to Mr. Wang Jian, the literary superstar in 1995."

As soon as he said his name to him, Wang Jian knew that the old man had come prepared.

He and Tom looked at each other and met with a fake smile. "I'd like to thank Langdon for helping me."

After two or three rounds of such meaningless compliments, the editor in chief finally proposed to go to the room next to the banquet hall with Wang Jian to discuss something.

Wang Jian, considering the amount of deposit for the physical book of arcane God on the website, readily agreed.

In this way, Wang Jian left the banquet with Tom and the editor in chief following two lawyers.

Lily looks at Wang Jian's back with a worried face.

Fortunately, Tom's girlfriend has been talking, so that she did not make any drastic moves.

In the small room next to him, Wang Jian sat opposite the editor in chief.

The editor in chief said, "I've heard that Mr. Wang's website is running well now, and he even wants to set foot in the real publishing industry?"

Wang Jian said with a smile: "the main reason is that the readers on the website are too enthusiastic. It's just that we're a little hard to ride a tiger."

"I wonder if Arcane is in the ranks of physical publishing?" Asked the editor in chief.

Looking at each other for half a minute, Wang Jian suddenly said with a smile, "how can I forget the agreement with your publishing house. "

" but it seems that there is a small publishing house that gives 90% royalty share. I wonder if Langdon publishing house will follow the bidding? "

"I just don't know if that small publishing house has any originality in the publishing channel of physical books besides selling to fans."

"No matter how important the sales channel of physical books is, 20% royalty share is not as good as 90% royalty share?" Wang Jian took a slow sip of coffee.

"But what if 90% and 20% royalties don't affect each other?"

The editor in chief stood up with a smile and said to Wang Jian, "I'm just a part-time worker. I have three years to retire."

"I only care about the benefits of Random House in these three years, because it's related to my pension."

"The big names on the board of directors, in recent years, will be full of confidence in the names of the six major publications."

After that, he patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and walked out of the room.
