When the hand of the wall clock on the wall was about to point to 200 midnight, the phone in the office finally rang.
The intermittent humming sound suddenly stopped at this moment.
Osborne had already placed the ball on the fairway of the 10-foot-long indoor golf green, and the swing arm he was preparing to put came to an abrupt stop.
This action almost twisted the CEO’s waist.
“oooh.”
Uncle Osborne covered his back and turned to look at the black landline phone on the table that was beeping.
This is the internal telephone number of Schostic Company.
These days, almost only government agencies and large enterprises still use this kind of fixed telephone to connect various functional departments together.
What Osborne was waiting for was this report from within the company.
Tonight, the lights in the headquarters building are still on at midnight.
In addition to his president's office, there is also the entire floor where the marketing department is located below.
The marketing department will compile statistics on the first-day sales data of the Little Prince fairy tale book across the British Isles, and then report it to the president himself as soon as possible.
Osborne didn't even put down the club. He took two quick steps and sat down on the desk without any image.
He lowered his head and glanced at the phone number displayed on the LCD screen.
After taking a deep breath, the CEO answered the phone with the attitude of a father waiting outside the delivery room to greet the nurse.
"Hello, this is the president's office, I'm Osborne."
The moment the call was connected, Osborne's tone returned to calm.
"Yes, I'm listening. Wait a minute. I'll take a pen and write it down."
The CEO put the golf club under his arm and picked up his desk. The oil pen and sticky notes clamped on it were written on.
“This number has been confirmed. Is the news reliable? I understand that the first day’s sales results cannot explain anything. Only by outperforming the entire sales cycle can we have the last laugh. We still need to work hard together. Thank you for your hard work, colleagues in the marketing department.”
“Let’s talk to the people at Ofsted, and I will get a deal for you if you can be included in the recommended textbooks for public schools next year. That’s it for the extra bonus, everyone go back and get some rest early.”
President Osborne maintained his noble and cool voice until the last moment before putting down the phone.
He put down the receiver of the landline phone.
Slowly raise the note in your hand to your eyes.
"Huh."
The corner of the president's mouth twitched slightly.
Then the second and third blows until the smile is like a persimmon that changes from green to red overnight in autumn. It shines from the inside out on the cheeks and turns into a smile that cannot be concealed. laughing out loud.
“Hahaha”
Osborne jumped off the table, walked over, took out the club and swung it hard like a baseball.
He let the golf ball pop up and hit the hundreds of trees hung like a Christmas tree. 100,000 sales milestone was placed on the decorative tree, and then it rebounded and smashed the screen of a Dell laptop.
The CEO didn’t seem to notice, but he just looked up and laughed.
He would. Throwing the notes and golf clubs around, he opened his arms and opened his mouth to the accompaniment of the jingling of the medals on the tree. .
"tryroad"
This loud sound almost made the secretary lady outside the suite think that there was a wolf howling in the room of the president's office.
If it weren't for him. The office is 100 meters high in the sky and is surrounded by smooth glass walls.
With this Pavarotti-like shout, all the sparrows in London might be frightened and fly up. .
“It’s cool. ”
Osborne continued to have fun.
The falling note paper marked three different sets of numbers, respectively from the sales statistics of the three top three books today. .
The real author Colin Hoover sold 6537 today
The spare tire author rccharry sold 12256 today
The Little Prince author Saint-Exupéry sold 12296 today.
With a slight advantage of only 40 books
The Little Prince project he led has topped the UK sales today
It is the TD champion
p>This is certainly not the first time that Osborne has won the sales day championship among the projects he has handled in his career.
Last year's biography of Federer also included green, clay and Grand Slam. Won the daily sales title.
Even before Colin Hoover’s romance became a hot topic on TikTok, he briefly won the monthly sales title of the Moon Newspaper for two weeks.
Of course.
I was beaten later.
But this is definitely the most satisfying time in Osborne’s career to win the Japanese sales championship.
p>How much does it cost to publish a biography of Federer, various media pre-heating, production funds, and channel promotion? How much does the total cost of the little prince cost?
Sales of such celebrity biographies are very high
p>But just because everyone knows that the sales volume will be high, the publishing house will make a profit and lose money, but the majority of the profits will belong to the celebrities themselves.
Anyway, if you don’t publish it, there are other publishing companies willing to rush to publish it.
Books that enter the public edition field are public resources, and all sales are pure income, and even a dime is paid to the original author. No.
Only a commission of about ten points for the translator and the artist.
The money from the sales is almost the actual income of the group’s European region, and even the funds for publicity and promotion. They all came from the headquarters for free.of.
Is Osborne unhappy?
Furthermore, celebrity biographies were popular at the beginning, and after two years of sales, readers became stale.
The rumors about Steve Jobs were so popular back then that everyone in the subways around the world wanted to hold a book and read it. It was also a monster that sold nearly 10 million copies in its first year.
Ten years later, it will not even be ranked in the top 100 best-selling lists.
The early sales of world famous books are tepid, but they are very strong. After ten years of sales, they may still have sales figures of more than 30% in the first year. In Search of Lost Time is so long and lengthy that it is impossible to find a book in the whole of Britain that ten thousand people could read carefully from cover to cover.
From the time it was sold in 1913 to today, it still sells 100,000 copies every year around the world.
Especially the little prince is explosive enough. On the first day, it topped the sales list in the UK. If it didn't explode, who would explode?
The estimated total sales volume of 300,000 copies has exceeded 4% of the annual sales plan on the first day alone.
At this rate, the first batch of printed books will be sold out in just one month without even taking a year.
Of course, a lot of the previously accumulated sales demand and online orders from die-hard fans of Little Prince were released on the first day of the market, and it is difficult to have the grand occasion of the first day in the following days.
Sales will continue to drop significantly in two days, and a stable sales figure will be obtained after five or six days.
But those are definitely the top three in the sales list.
Created a hit book, which dampened the arrogance of art director Charlie and enhanced the confidence of the board of directors.
If President Osborne is not happy, who will be happy?
"Okay, Miss Anna, since the painter you recommended is so up to date," Osborne was happy enough. He swiped the IAD in front of him and found an email in his mailbox that had been edited in advance. mail.
To the Schostic Writing and Art Masters Award Selection Committee. The Group’s European Region Award Candidate Nominated Illustrator Detective Cat
He stared at the email title for two seconds and then pressed the send button.
Dulwich International High School.
It’s the last week before April Fool’s Day, and the stage in the campus auditorium is packed.
The blurred light refracted by the multi-colored spotlights in the smoke created by dry ice is like the on-glaze enamel painted by Eastern Xia porcelain craftsmen.
The school will hold a social party with several other international middle schools on Rose Valentine's Day on May 14 as usual. Students in grade seven and above can participate.
This is a favorite campus celebration for Dulwich students every year.
It is more important than school team games, and more exciting than winter and summer vacations.
In addition to performances by various clubs and drama rehearsals, there is also a grand finale where the boys and girls choose their partners to dance together.
The young body rubs against each other through a layer of evening clothes, and the ears and temples rub against each other.
The whole air will be filled with the smell of perfume, sweat and hormones.
Even the school's physical hygiene class will be arranged to add one class per week a few weeks before the campus dance to provide vaccinations.
Even if the school has worked so hard.
Not long after the campus dance every few years, you can still hear gossip about the unexpected pregnancy of a certain female classmate.
In short.
The social dance is the first step for lower grade students to enter formal social occasions, and it is also the last carnival for graduating students in their middle school years.
Wait until the social dance in May is over.
Senior students must go all out to prepare for the admissions interview with their portfolios and apply to their favorite universities. This marks a formal separation between each other's lives.
The probability of a long-distance relationship breaking up is close to 100%.
The graduation dance is the last youthful memory in their middle school life.
As you can imagine.
The excitement and excitement among Dulwich students.
It is now more than a month before the prom, and large-scale rehearsals have already begun.
"Gu Weijing, let's dance together then"
The girl in the sexy wheat-colored leather outfit and the little girls on the cheerleading team whispered and laughed. , then walked to the boy who was sitting next to the chair in the corner, holding a Chinese painting textbook Tian Yu Liufang, and said openly.
Gu Weijing looked away from the book, with a helpless expression on his face.
ifyou039refaoenough, thehgibeeasyenough If you are famous enough, everything will be easy enough. When sports star James Hunter asked a TV reporter how many girlfriends he had, he left this sentence that is very popular in the history of news. Famous motto.
This old man is the 1976 F1 world champion and a two-generation playboy who is as famous as Chamberlain in sports and basketball. He dated more than 5,000 girls in his life. His peak record was during the F1 Japanese Grand Prix, when he slept with 35 different British Airways stewardesses for 35 consecutive days.
The Hilton Hotel suite is his palace, and the flight attendants of the entire airline are his concubines.
Faced with the gossip reporters’ astonished interviews, Hunter just shook off his bohemian blond hair and said coolly that it wasn’t that he was too wild, but that it was too easy to pick up girls.
The cultural atmosphere of Western society is completely different from that of reserved Easterners.
Almost many people have a romantic plot in their hearts about dating celebrities.
International schools are like a smaller version of Westernized society.
When watching TV before, Gu Weijing could always see European and American dramas about campus youth. There were often influential figures on campus who had the priority to choose a spouse in the school, and they could sleep with whoever they wanted.The plot of dating any girl you want to date.
He has been studying in the international school like a little transparent for so many years.
It wasn’t until my headshot was hung prominently on the bulletin board at the school entrance by the principal that I finally fully realized the sense of superiority unique to school celebrities in campus culture.
The social status on campus has improved more than a little bit.
In Gu Weijing’s impression.
After entering senior years, the girlfriends of the lead singer of the school band took turns, the girlfriends of Jerry, the main player of the school team, took turns, and even the cheerleader Miss Koko also had girlfriends.
Now,
if he wants to be extravagant enough.
Gu Weijing might as well live a life where his girlfriends take turns.
The girl in front of me is called Misha.
Yangon Port is Myanmar’s only maritime port and one of the few large ports in Southeast Asia that can berth 100,000-ton giant ships. A large number of containers filled with rice and textiles are shipped from here every year.
Misha’s father is a supply chain management specialist for the French Odis International Shipping Company in Myanmar. He is French and has one-eighth South African black ancestry.
Except for the slightly thick lips, this is basically not noticeable.
Her facial features are not exquisite, but her figure is very attractive, especially with her healthy wheat-colored skin that has been soaked by the sun through regular exercise. She can be called hot. .
Such a girl will always be chased by many people on campus. She might not have even looked at Gu Weijing before, but now she took the initiative to find Gu Weijing to be her dance partner. The ambiguity in her words was self-evident.
Misha has even found Gu Weijing’s third girl who wants to be his dance partner.
It also includes a primary school girl who is one grade below.
Gu Weijing is not handsome, and he cannot be called ugly either.
He just doesn’t dress up very much. He wears an ordinary school uniform and has an ordinary round hair.
From a closer look, the whole person is quite charming, and there is a kind of warmth and restraint that is not common among boys in international schools.
No one paid much attention to him before.
The few who have some ideas are also intimidated by Miss Sandnu's majesty.
There are boys everywhere on campus who are from better families than Gu Weijing and are more romantic. They were reluctant to stretch out their hooves to seduce the little donkey tied up at the home of the student council president.
The investment and return are not directly proportional
It is different now.
It seems that many girls on campus have some vague thoughts about this newly minted young artist from the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association.
"Misha, I'm sorry. If I need to dance with you, I may need to ask my girlfriend's permission first."
Gu Weijing used what he had said several times before. Light vehicleA familiar standard answer, he said with a smile.
"Ho Mona, I haven't seen her with you recently."
Misha is filled with the romantic boldness of a French girl.
She did not face Gu Weijing's polite words with the implicit alienation like the first two girls. Instead, she quietly took a step forward and licked her lips.
The protruding curve of the chest that was supported by the school uniform shirt almost hit Gu Weijing's face.
"Gu, I admit that Miss Shandanu is quite beautiful, but I'm not bad either." Miss Misha winked seductively with her big eyes. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
