The Goddess Shines on America

For the next fifteen days, Alice had a really good life.

Tokyo has started to heat up in June, and beautiful girls in short skirts and school uniforms can be seen all over the streets. Because of her knowledge of channels, Alice can even find out the embryonic status of calls. In the same way, some shops selling pornographic video tapes in Ginza are not uncommon. After all, this is a major feature of the local area, and even Amsterdam is not so prosperous.

Of course, this whole process was hidden from Hannah. Alice was not ready to let her know her orientation, but Sissy knew her actions well. So, at the beginning it was a tailgating, and when it was easily discovered, it became Ji You and the two shopping in pairs. Of course, they didn't buy those videotapes casually. Sissy was considering Hannah's factors, while Alice simply didn't like these old-age products.

At Shueisha, the feedback on the manga arrived quickly, and of course the submission was accepted. Especially when the editor-in-chief learned that this surprisingly interesting boy detective manga was actually created by the very famous Alice Wang, he directly reported it to the president, and then solemnly invited her to come to meet him.

Don't look at the reasoning novels published by Alice in Japan in the past few days. There is only one "After School" by Kodansha, but that won the Edogawa Rampo Award, the top newcomer support award in the country. Besides, Alice's earlier works, as well as the current Harry Potter series, have also been released in Japanese. In fact, she has quite a reputation in the cultural world.

Of course, the talks were extremely harmonious. Alice talked about the whole idea of ​​"Detective Conan" with confidence, and made the draft of the second episode on the spot. The author's own reputation and achievements are there, and the efficiency and ability are even more on the spot in front of everyone. The storyline is also outstanding, especially as Alice said, this comic can definitely create more than a thousand words, so the final result is of course There is no suspense, it can be said to hit it off.

But then, a new situation emerged. Alice Wang reappeared in Japan and contributed comics to Shueisha, which was soon known by Kodansha in Tokyo. Of course, this publishing company doesn't care about the comics business, but they have already sent Alice countless emails asking for manuscripts, hoping that she will write some wonderful mystery novels after "After School", but they have never received a reply. It's good now, since the author rarely shows up in the Japanese publishing industry, how can there be any reason not to rush to the door to chase him down?

Then, of course, this task needs someone to do it.

Kodansha is very big, and when he was assigned to the book publishing department, Aoyama was very happy from the bottom of his heart, because it was his dream since he was a child to make the mystery novel that he loves. Aoyama has never thought of being a novelist. He likes to discover interesting mystery novels, and then recommend them to others, and exchange their impressions with them, which can make him feel supreme happiness.

The senior in charge, Kobayashi, introduced the editor-in-chief to him. After learning that it was actually Mr. Shishitori, the legendary editor who has written several super best-selling books, Aoyama's surprise can be imagined. However, Kobayashi smiled at him in a layman's way.

"No, there are hundreds of copies!"

Qing Shan was speechless for a moment. Even for an old editor who has been in office for twenty years, the deeds of one hundred best-selling books are enough to make him top the list of the most popular editors in the country-who knows whether this list exists or not. Hundreds of copies, what kind of concept is this?

Then, Qingshan met this senior in the editor's room.

To non-writers, Shiatori is of course just a normal guy, a short-haired smoking man. After meeting Qingshan and listening to Xiaolin's introduction, he let out a puff of smoke and said, "Did you participate in any sports when you were a student?"

"Sports? I played volleyball for a few days in junior high school, but I gave up after a few days."

"Volleyball." It was Suqu with a regretful expression on his face: "How are you playing? Well, how are you playing golf?"

"Oh..." Qingshan scratched his head: "I haven't hit this one before."

"Really? Then start special training from today."

"……well?"

The above is the situation when Aoyama and the editor-in-chief met for the first time. For a very strange reason, Shishito not only forced him to learn golf, but even took the initiative to contact a professional golfer as a coach for him, and claimed that he could give him a golf ball. cue!

What is the situation?

It didn't take long before the whole thing was put on the agenda. However, Aoyama, who was exposed to golf for the first time, achieved predictable results. After complaining repeatedly to Senior Kobayashi, he received criticism: "What are you talking about! Playing golf is also the editor's job. No, in a sense, it is the most important job. By the way , where is the editor-in-chief?"

Aoyama thought about today's events: "Mr. Shishitori... and Mr. Heyuan went to Ginza."

"Well, when you and the editor-in-chief trained recently, you often teamed up with Mr. Hiraizumi. How were their results last time?"

Qingshan is sensitively aware that the current topic of senior is pandering to the reprimand just now.

"Ms. Hiraizumi scored 101 and the editor-in-chief scored 102. He even yelled loudly that he was not convinced and lost to the teacher by one stroke."

Kobayashi flicked his finger: "That's right! You are very good. In fact, Mr. Shishitori's golf skills are at a professional level. No matter how bad he is, he can't exceed 100 strokes."

Qingshan was not himself, and quickly realized that this was some knowledge he had learned when he was with clients: "So, he is deliberately lagging behind today?"

"That's needless to say! Just being good at golf doesn't make the writer happy. Even if the score is too good, you may find a solution from the other side. But on the other hand, if you have scruples and play too bad, it will make people less interested. , so the editor-in-chief does not need to make the writer feel happy, and let him have a moderate counterbalance mentality. You have probably been worrying about your own level, and you have not noticed the details between them, Mr. Shishitori's "golf entertainment", but One of his nirvana for winning many publishing rights!"

It turned out that this was the case, as a newcomer in the publishing industry, Aoyama finally understood. That's right, if it's an ordinary writer, it's fine. When some famous writers publish a book, the editors must go on and on to win each other's favor. At this time, their social and entertainment skills will be tested. Playing golf is a popular business and social activity throughout Japan!

In this way, Aoyama's new career officially started, and not long after that, Senior Shishi and Senior dragged him to meet another client.

"The teacher we are going to meet today is different from everyone else before." Lion's unprecedented serious expression is also reminding Qingshan: "Ms. Wang's works are very popular in the European and American markets. Her "Harry Wave" "Special" series is a fantasy novel that took place in the UK, but it still caused a sensation in Japan. However, Aoyama, Teacher Wang's identity as a writer is just her hobby, and she is a famous businessman on the Forbes list. Impressed. Do you understand what that means?"

When he heard the name of the person he met with today, Qing Shan already understood that he didn't start working in the literary publishing industry just yesterday, how could Alice Wang's Daming have never heard of it. Of course, if you only refer to an individual, tens of millions of people in Japan have heard her name to some extent, especially those female compatriots who are desperately buying diet pills, but in the field of literature, Aoyama’s achievements for that girl are also notable. Equally knowledgeable.

"It's really difficult... She hasn't written a book for Japan since "After School". Oh Qingshan, it's not that she was snatched by another publishing house, and she has never published Japanese novels again! It’s rare to know one of her course of action today, you and I must cheer up, do you understand!?”

Qing Shan naturally nodded repeatedly, he was too clear about the meaning of today's meeting, he was not a writer, but a super rich man worth billions!

That's right, as early as Shishito called him, Qingshan knew that Talking Society was trying to get a manuscript of Alice Wang, so he had already investigated her recent situation. "Fortune" magazine once again reported the girl's wealth. In just six years, relying on the rising stock prices of Cisco and Microsoft, plus the sum of the capital of other industries, her personal worth has easily exceeded 50. The billion dollar mark occupies an absolutely indelible position on the Forbes list of the world's richest people!

In this way, Shishitori and Aoyama came to the subway station together. According to industry rumors, the rich writer frequently took several fixed lines recently, and then always got off at Akihabara Station. God gave me a pair of wings, fly there quickly!

Even the experienced lions and seniors are excited, let alone Qingshan?
