Lisko’s American Life

In addition, Lisko's reputation is very popular in the world, and the foreign channels that Random House depends on are also dispensable to Liskoe, and his name is among the top few in the major literary awards It doesn't matter if Random House wins a public relations award or not, his brothers will help in due course.

Random House is not that important to Lisko. The reason for choosing them is because Lisko thinks it can save a lot of trouble and other trivial things.

The second is that the two parties have cooperated many times. Random House also understands Lisko's hobbies very well.

"Five group B-level resources, I'll help you coordinate with Lisko."

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

"It's impossible, you're going too far."

Osman patted the table, stood up from his seat, looked at Lu Bo with an expression full of anger, and his eyes began to flush because of too much anger.

"Don't be so angry, sit down, this is a cafe, you have disturbed others."

Lu Bo still had that smiling look, comforting Osman unhurriedly.

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

The service staff of the coffee shop also came over at the right time, reminding them softly.

"Sir, please be quiet, you have already disturbed other guests."

"I'm sorry, my companion is a little emotional, and I won't be there anymore. I'm very sorry."

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

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

"two."

He looked at Lu Bo and spit out two words.

"Four."

"At most three, otherwise forget it, we have never met today."

Osman's emotions became more agitated, but none of these could impress the cunning Lu Bo. He thought that he couldn't get more out of Osman, and could only end in regret.

"make a deal."

The matter was settled. Although he got the result he wanted, Osman's expression was not happy. He paid a high price. After returning, he might have to accept inquiries from the board of directors.

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

"We have a win-win cooperation. Besides, the writers I recommend will definitely not be that kind of bad works. You should have heard that our company has recently produced a lot of newcomers with good results. Their new books will definitely not let you down. If you are disappointed, you will also make a lot of money, and your company also has its own review agency, if it does not meet the standards, you can reject it."

After listening to Lu Bo's words, Osman's mood became calmer. He knew these things, but he was taken advantage of by Lu Bo in the transaction. Thinking of this, he couldn't suppress his anger.

The B-level resources they are talking about are the levels of treatment within the publishing house. From the smallest F-level to the top S-level, they enjoy different publicity funds.

F-level may only have some corners and corners of propaganda in literary newspapers, which is the lowest level of publicity, and the top S-level is Lisko’s treatment. All the promotion channels of the whole group are open to him, and spare no effort to publicize. To achieve the maximum effect, basically everyone who watches the consultation can hear the name of the new book.

Lisko knew about Lu Bo's use of his own negotiation as a bargaining chip to seek benefits for other people in the company, and Lu Bo also told him without hesitation.

Li Ke didn't think it was a big deal. He owns the majority of the company's shares, and he also got a share of the money made by the cultural company. If Lu Bo knew what 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 attitude of hiding behind the scenes before. It was not difficult for him to agree to come down and hold a signing event.

After the matter is over, it will be time for the two partners to chat, and Osman's mood has calmed down. As an old fox who has been in the mall for a long time, what happened just now is just an episode for him, no matter how tit-for-tat he was during the negotiation , You can still chat peacefully afterwards.

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

Osman, seemingly indifferent, brings out his own problems.

"Hey, it's a small fight. After all, we are a small family and a small business. If we don't want to save some of your exploitation, how can we make money? Even if we buy a bookstore and complete the ecological chain, it is also a big deal for you. It’s just an ant, it’s just that this ant has gotten a little fatter, and your opponent is Wolters Kluwer, Harper Collins.”

Wolters Kluwer Group and Harper \u0026 Collins are the two publishers ranked below Random House. One of them focuses on professional books such as law and taxation, and the other focuses on consumer books. They are strong opponents of Random House.

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

As the editor-in-chief of Random House, Osman has a strong affection for his family's company, and he is proud when talking about his company.

"Yes, you are role models in our literary world. We want to catch up with you, and it may take the next century."

As the person in charge of the company, Lu Bo is very flexible, and he dispelled Osman's suspicion with a few words.

Now Random House attaches great importance to Lisko's contract. They are worried that after Lubaud's company completes the closed loop, Lisko may not sign a publishing contract with him again, but hand over the contract to the company in which he holds shares .

But these are superfluous worries. Regarding this matter, Lu Bo also discussed with Lisko. The current size of the company is not suitable for the books of top-level writers like Lisko, and it will not be able to catch up with the publicity channels. Resources on Random House.

Lu Bo's idea is that the middle and lower-level writers of the company will publish through the company's internal channels, while Liske and Haas will still publish through Random House. When I came to my company, I enjoyed resources that were completely inferior.
