Lisco's American Life

In addition, Lisko's reputation is very popular internationally, and the foreign channels that Random House depends on for its survival are also dispensable for Lisko, and his name is among the top in major literary awards.

Existence, regardless of whether Random House receives a public relations award, his senior brothers will help in a timely manner.

Random House is not that important to Lisko. The reason why he chose them is because first, Lisko felt that it could save a lot of trouble and other trivial things.

Second, the two parties have collaborated many times. Random House also understands Lisko’s hobby of not attending sales meetings and interviews, and respects this custom of his.

"The B-level resources of the five groups, I will help you coordinate with Lisko."

Although Lubo was smiling, in Osman's eyes, what he said was like a lion opening its bloody mouth.

"This is impossible, you are going too far."

Osman slapped the table, stood up from his seat, and looked at Lubo's expression full of anger, and his eyes began to turn red because he was so angry.

"Don't be so angry. Sit down. This is a cafe. You've already disturbed others."

Lubo still had the same smiling look, comforting Osman unhurriedly.

Osman turned around and looked around, because the noise he made by banging the table had already attracted the attention of the entire cafe.

The service staff of the cafe also came over at the right time and reminded me quietly.

"Sir, please be quiet. You have disturbed other guests."

"I'm sorry, my companion is a little emotional. I won't do it anymore. I'm very sorry."

With that said, Lubo handed over a tip of ten dollars again.

Osman sat down, drank the coffee in front of him, and then loosened his shirt and tie.

"two."

He looked at Lu Bo and spat out two words.

"Four."

"Maximum three, otherwise forget it and treat us as if we have never met today."

Osman became even more excited, but none of this could move the cunning Lubo. He thought that he couldn't get more out of Osman, and it could only end with regret.

"make a deal."

The matter was negotiated, and although he got the result he wanted, Osman didn't look happy. He paid a heavy price. After returning, he may have to be questioned by the board of directors.

"Okay, don't be angry." Lubo picked up the coffee pot next to him and refilled Osman's empty coffee cup.

"We have a win-win cooperation. Besides, the writers I recommend will definitely not be the kind of bad writers. You should also have heard that our company has recently released a lot of newcomers with good results. Their new books will definitely not let others down.

If you are disappointed, you will also make a lot of money, and your company also has its own internal review agency. If it does not meet the standards, you can just reject it."

After listening to Lubo's words, Osman became calmer. He knew these things, but was taken advantage of by Lubo in the transaction. Thinking of this, he could not suppress his anger.

What they call B-level resources is the level of treatment internally divided by the publishing house, from the smallest F-level to the top S-level, each enjoying different publicity funds.

The F-level may only have some marginal publicity in literary newspapers, which is the lowest level of publicity, while the top-level S-level is Li Sko's treatment. All publicity channels in the entire group are open to him, and no effort is spared in publicity.

To achieve the maximum effect, basically everyone watching the consultation can hear the name of the new book.

Lisko knew that Lubo used his negotiations as a bargaining chip to seek benefits for other people in the company, and Lubo told him without hesitation.

Liske didn't think it was anything. He owned the majority of the company's shares, and he also got a share of the money the cultural company made. If Lu Bo knew something he really didn't want to do, he wouldn't trade it.

As for this time, since Lisko has already participated in a variety show recording, it shows that he has begun to accept normal publicity, and is no longer the previous attitude of hiding behind the scenes. Lu Bo believes that, coupled with his insinuations, let

It was not difficult for him to agree to come down and hold a book signing.

After the matter was discussed, it was time for the two partners to chat. Osman's mood had calmed down. As an old fox who has been in shopping malls for a long time, what just happened was just an episode for him, no matter how tit-for-tat the negotiation was.

, you can still chat peacefully afterwards.

"I heard that you are acquiring a bookstore chain recently."

Osman seemed careless, but he also brought up his own problems.

"Hey, it's a small fight. After all, we are a small family and a small business. If we don't find a way to avoid your exploitation, how can we make money? Even if we acquire the bookstore and complete the ecological chain, it will be the same for you.

It’s just an ant, it’s just that this ant has gained a little weight. Your opponent is Wolters Kluwer and Harper Collins.”

Wolters Kluwer and Harper & Collins are two publishers ranked under Random House. One of them focuses on professional books such as law and taxation, and the other focuses on consumer books. They are strong rivals of Random House.

"They? They can't catch up with us. After all, we are an old company with a history of 82 years. We were established before World War II and have experienced artillery fire and various disasters."

As the editor-in-chief of Random House, Osman has a strong affection for his family's company. When he talks about his company, he looks proud.

"Yes, you are a role model in our literary world. If we want to follow in your footsteps, it may take the next century."

As the head of the company, Lubo was very flexible and able to dispel Osman's suspicion in just a few words.

Now Random House takes Lisko's contract very seriously. They are worried that when Lubo's company completes the closed loop, Lisko may no longer sign a publishing contract with them, but will hand over the contract to the company in which they hold shares.

.

However, these are unnecessary worries. Lu Bo has also discussed this matter with Lisko. The company's current size is not suitable for books by top writers like Lisko, and it cannot catch up with them in publicity channels.

Resources on Random House.

Lubo's idea is that the company's middle- and lower-level writers publish through the company's internal channels, while Lisko and Haas still use Random House. After all, the other party's share is high and the resources are huge, so there is no need to switch.

When I go to my own company, I enjoy resources that are completely inferior to others.
