Chapter 145 The world is worth a trip
Chapter 145 The world is worth a visit
The flight attendant's question made the young man's face suddenly darken: "When I was a child, my family was poor and my brothers and sisters couldn't afford toys."
This was his self-mockery. When he was a child, Xie Leining's family was not poor, but quite wealthy.
Later, his family's life became better.
After graduating from college, Xie Leining took over a company given to him by his parents.
It has been two years since he graduated. His parents saw that he has good business skills and have just given him a small company to manage.
This small company was a publishing house. Xie Leining was a little embarrassed. The owner of the publishing house didn't know what kind of book Chu Fan was talking about.
Xie Leining’s publishing house is not a state-owned and formally approved publishing house, but a private publishing house.
Private publishing houses do not have publishing rights (book numbers) granted by the state, so they can only buy book numbers from state-owned publishing houses for cooperative publishing. It is a bit like private companies in the past buying factory labels, batch numbers, etc. from state-owned enterprises.
In this era, newspapers were almost eliminated, and the sales of traditional books also declined severely.
This is not entirely due to the rise of e-books, there are many factors.
For example, there are too many forms of entertainment, and the pace of life is much more tense than it was twenty years ago. The main reason is that the public’s values have undergone tremendous changes.
Reading can bring happiness and see beauty and happiness.
When everyone around them is focused on money, people who like to read will feel that it is better to get up and make money than sit there and read. Money is the source of happiness.
"Sorry, I just said the wrong thing." The flight attendant apologized.
"It's okay, I know you're kidding." Xie Leining is very qualified. Mainly because he has little interest in flight attendants. With his strength, it is not difficult to play young models in clubs, sleep with flight attendants in villas, and work as nurses in hotels.
After talking to the stewardess, Xie Leining took out a business card from his briefcase, turned to Chu Fan across the aisle and said: "Brother, let's exchange business cards. You are a book writer, and I am from a publishing house. If there is an opportunity, we can cooperate.
one time."
"From the publishing house?" Chu Fan was surprised. He was not surprised by Xie Leining's enthusiasm. This was a normal operation for successful people. While giving opportunities to others, he was also leaving opportunities for himself.
If you send out a hundred business cards, as long as one of them has an effect, it's worth it.
"Yeah." Xie Leining was a little embarrassed: "I just took over a publishing house at home. I don't know much about business yet, and I'm still learning."
The stewardess looked envious.
They have worked very hard, studied for more than ten years, and learned professional skills for three or four years. They just want to find a job to make a living after graduation.
As a result, look at Xie Leining, who knows nothing, but there is a company in charge of the jobs of dozens or even hundreds of people.
"I don't have a business card, but I accepted your business card." Chu Fan put away Xie Leining's business card and put it in his backpack.
Xie Leining was stunned and picked up the phone: "How about adding a friend?"
"Okay." Chu Fan didn't feel that he was climbing too high. As long as he continued to work hard, it would only be Xie Leining who was climbing high.
After scanning the QR code to add friends, Xie Leining sent his name and mobile phone number to Chu Fan, and then asked with a smile: "Brother, what should I call you?"
"Chu Fan, the Chu of the thick trees, the sail waiting for the wind to blow." Chu Fan did not read the message sent by Xie Leining. After adding his friend, he put the phone aside.
Xie Leining opened his mouth, "Do I study less?"
Why can’t I understand what Chu Fan said? At least I can’t understand the previous sentence. Which chu is “the chu of the dense trees”?
The stewardess’s eyes were shining, she really wanted to make Chu Fan and Xie Leining friends.
But she couldn't save face and asked for it, so she could only place her hope on Chu Fan and Xie Leining's initiative.
Unfortunately, Chu Fan and Xie Leining didn't mean that.
"Brother, don't underestimate us private publishing houses. Most of the books on the public bestseller lists are planned by publishing houses like ours. We are very professional in publicity and promotion. By the way, what book did you write?
Was it requested by the publishing house or did you write it yourself first and have it booked by the publishing house?" Xie Leining is very interested in work because he knows that this is his capital to play in the world.
"I write idle books. The copyright is still in my hands for the time being. It may be gone after a while. It will only be mine a hundred years after my death." Chu Fan said.
Xie Leining was surprised: "Are you discussing the copyright of your new book? What kind of company is so overbearing? This is something that only human beings can do? You still agreed?"
Chu Fan nodded: "If you don't agree, you won't get ahead. In the face of survival and dreams, everyone will give priority to survival. Only when I stand at a certain height will I be qualified to say no to them. Now I don't have that
qualifications."
The contract on the novel website where Chu Fan is now is really overbearing. He really wants to go to the novel website called Qidian. The contract on that website is very conscientious.
Unfortunately, the predecessor took root in the current novel website for six or seven years, which caused Chu Fan to have feelings for this novel website in his consciousness.
I still remember when I was writing my first book, there was a female reader who managed the book review section for him. This strange girl who never liked to post comments would go to other book review sections or other people’s homepages every day for several months.
He advertises.
When he was writing his second book, his grades were still very poor, and a reader insisted on giving him a dollar every day, which was unbreakable, rain or shine.
When he was writing the third book, a female reader who was in junior high school told him that she had been reading his books, and she was also followed by several of her classmates. Because they did not have much living expenses, several girls pooled their money to subscribe to his books.
All books can be read together using one account.
The fourth book...
If you think about it seriously, it's not that Chu Fan has feelings for the current novel website, but that he can't bear to leave his former readers, even though they have long since dispersed.
Maybe one day, they will come back and say: Dad, I'm back.
Two and a half hours passed quickly, and the plane landed at Nanhai Phoenix International Airport.
The first-class passengers packed their luggage and got off the plane first. Seeing Chu Fan and Xie Leining walking out of the cabin without looking back, the stewardess was a little disappointed.
When the two of them disappeared around the corner of the covered bridge, she felt a little annoyed as to why she hadn't taken the initiative before.
Take the initiative and there will be stories.
At the airport exit, Chu Fan picked up his checked suitcase, found the assistant sent by Luo Jinyu to pick him up, and boarded the bus to the city.
This is the first time Chu Fan has left Chengdu to see the outside world.
Whether the outside world is wonderful or not depends on the money you have, as well as people's mentality and experiences.
Fortunately, Chu Fan was not short of money, and his life path in the first twenty-two years was relatively smooth, without so many twists and turns.
The world outside the car window is full of freshness for Chu Fan, and the world is worth a visit.
Some people who live a difficult life have gone to many places in order to survive.
If you go to too many places, your soul will be scattered and unable to come back.
Just as I was thinking about life, the special car stopped.
The destination has arrived.
After getting out of the car, Chu Fan was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
