Chapter 204 No one can dig out the Night Hou (7400(1/2)
At the end of February.
Han Yueshuang won the first place on the season chart with the song "Listening to the Sea" written by Chu Ci.
This is Han Yueshuang’s first season championship since her debut!
But Lin Zhibai had no time to care about this matter.
March 1st.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Lin Zhibai took a car to Shinhwa Publishing House.
At the entrance of Shinhwa Publishing House, a group of well-dressed publishing house executives were waiting at the door.
"I'm coming!"
As a black car stopped steadily in front of the publishing house.
The driver ran down to help open the door, and Lin Zhibai got out of the car from the back seat.
"Hello, President!"
Dozens of senior executives of the publishing house bowed in unison, but their eyes flashed with horror. This new president is too young!
"I am Lin Zhibai."
Lin Zhibai looked at the dozens of senior executives, smiled and said, "Would you like to introduce me?"
"I am Vice President Roda."
Vice President Roda was about fifty years old this year, with a slightly bald forehead and a smile on his face. Lin Zhibai shook hands with him.
"I'm Bailey, the editor-in-chief."
When Bailey spoke, Lin Zhibai felt that he didn't look like he was a good football player, but he smiled and shook hands with him.
"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ren Jiachun."
"Hello."
Behind them are the chief editors of each department.
Shinhwa Publishing House publishes all types of books.
However, the main profit comes from several popular market book types such as martial arts, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, history, and romance.
So.
The chief editors of these popular book genres have considerable power in the publishing house.
After shaking hands with the group of people one by one as the new president, Vice President Luo Da took Lin Zhibai upstairs.
The eighth floor is the high-rise conference room of the publishing house.
Lin Zhibai entered the conference room and sat directly on the boss's chair at the end of the table, followed by others.
"I'm new here, so I'll have to rely on your care for my future work."
"Where, where..."
Everyone felt humble for a while, and they were secretly trying to figure out the temper of the new president.
Then there was a meeting, mainly to let Lin Zhibai, the new president, understand the basic situation of the publishing house.
In fact, Lin Zhibai had already done his homework in advance, but he still acted like he was listening attentively. He could not let people think that he was a second-generation ancestor who was purely here for gold plating. Although he also knew that these people were polite on the surface, but they may not have much in their hearts.
Respect yourself.
The first meeting of the publishing house attended by the new president ended with everyone having their own agenda.
While waiting for the meeting to end.
Lin Zhibai suddenly said: "The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department is staying."
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department was stunned and subconsciously looked at the vice president Roda.
A flash of pride flashed across Rhoda's face, but she reprimanded: "Look what I do..."
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department stayed in the conference room aggrievedly.
Lin Zhibai looked at Roda's back, showed a smile, and pointed out:
"The relationship between Editor-in-Chief Wang and the Vice President is very good."
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department is named Wang Zi, but it seems that Lin Zhibai is the real "mythical prince".
Wang Zi naturally heard the implication of Lin Zhibai's words, and quickly explained: "Because you were President Luo's boss before you joined the company..."
"Vice President Luo." Lin Zhibai raised his voice slightly.
Wang Zi broke into a cold sweat, "Yes, yes, sorry, it should be Vice President Luo. The position of President has been vacant for more than three months..."
The position of president of Shinhwa Publishing House has been vacant for more than three months.
Lin Zhibai's eyes flashed, making people doubt the old man's motives.
He looked at Wang Zi and said, "The mystery department of Shinhwa Publishing House has seen a sharp decline in performance recently. Although I have just arrived, I know that mystery is a very important category and the audience in the novel circle is very large, so I want to talk to you.
…”
"President, the main reason is that we were poached by Nathan, a leading mystery writer."
Speaking of this matter, Wang Zi was a little helpless. The appeal of top writers was too strong, so major publishing houses competed fiercely.
"Nathan?"
Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "As far as I know, Nathan also has a very good writer named Hou Yehou."
"Yes."
As the editor-in-chief of the Mystery Department, Wang Zi is of course familiar with all the famous writers. "Bi Yehou and Nathan have a very deep cooperative relationship. They collaborated with Nathan Publishing House's "Mystery and Suspense" when they first debuted. However, the career of Bu Yehou is
The focus is now on the field of screenwriting. Although it has good market appeal in the novel circle, it currently does not pose a big threat to us..."
"You said it too."
Lin Zhibai said: "Biyehou has good market appeal. If he returns to the novel circle and releases a new book, it should be able to help Nathan gain a lot of sales, right?"
Wang Zi nodded.
Lin Zhibai knocked on the table, "Can the main style of Hou Yehou's works be classified as mystery and suspense?"
Wang Zidao: "It's quite complicated, but it's really mainly reasoning and suspense."
Many novels have no clear genre restrictions.
For example, "Secret", which was released by Evernight Hou, mainly tells a story about ethics.
However, there is nothing wrong with putting it in the mystery and suspense category, so Nathan finally placed "Secret" under the mystery and suspense department.
Including the previous life, "The Secret" won the Mystery Writers Association Award for this book.
Yes.
Hou Yehou gives people the impression that he is a writer who is good at writing mystery and suspense themes and has a relatively dark style of writing.
The probability of White Night Hou appearing is relatively small.
Lin Zhibai said: "It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. I'm going to give you a task. Since Nathan has poached the pillars of our reasoning department, you should also find a way to poach their people for me, so why not choose this one?"
Ye Hou can be used as a strategy target."
"President..."
Wang Zi said with a sad face: "Not to mention whether Bu Yehou is willing to continue to develop in the novel circle, even if he continues to write novels, he will definitely choose to cooperate with Nathan first. It's not that I haven't tried to poach Bu Yehou, but no
Yehou has never talked to me, I don’t think Yehou..."
Lin Zhibai sneered in his heart.
He naturally knew that Shinhwa Publishing House had scouted Bu Yehou, and in fact Tianguang Publishing House had also scouted him, but Lin Zhibai was too lazy to bother and ignored him.
But things are different now.
Lin Zhibai said coldly: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I think if you hire Hou Yehou here, the performance of your reasoning department can be improved!"
"I can't do it...it's not like we haven't tried it before, and we even added money!"
"Oh, Nathan can poach our people, but you can't poach theirs. How did you become the chief editor of the reasoning department?"
Lin Zhibai directly attacked.
Hum hum.
Are you flirting with Rhoda in front of me?
Do you think I don’t know that Rhoda was supported by her uncle?
Each of these editors-in-chief counts, and Lin Zhibai wants them to know who is the genius of Shinhwa Publishing House.
Once these editors-in-chief are subdued, it will be easier for Roda and his ilk to deal with them.
Lin Zhibai, a capable man, wanted to recruit them himself, but he had to clear out those hardcore uncles.
To be continued...
