Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 25 President Lavin's Solicitation

The sales of "Jane Eyre" were so hot that day, and it also attracted the attention of peer publishing houses. When Kevin won the seventh London Literary Competition, many of these publishing houses called Kevin Draft. But Kevin refused all of them. Seeing that Kevin's new book has sold so well now, I feel very regretful in my heart.

"Well, if I could get Kevin and sign his book, I would have made a lot of money."

As a well-known publishing house in the industry, Dehai Publishing House naturally paid attention to this point. Especially Vice President Lavin. Lavin was optimistic about this person's market when Kevin had just won the seventh London Literary Contest, and he also personally ordered Zela to contact Kevin, trying to sign a long-term publishing contract with Kevin.

Seeing that Kevin's "Jane Eyre" is on the market so soon, it proves that Zela has not dealt with the other party.

So, he was very annoyed, even though Zela was very beautiful and full of femininity, making men want to hold her in their arms, and couldn't bear to scold her. But as a result of today, he had to talk to Zela.

At this time, Zela was also in the office, and she had also seen the news about "Jane Eyre". However, she didn't think that "Jane Eyre" had such strength. She thought it was just because Kevin won the London Literary Contest, and now that the new book was published, the organizers carried out a package and promotion.

She believed that the sales of "Jane Eyre" would be stranded when the people who bought the book saw that the contents were not exciting, or were not as good as they expected. At that time, the reprinting of the London Literary Publishing House, or the purchase of major bookstores, will lose money.

"Please come in." Zela said softly when she heard the knock on the door.

"Vice President, why are you here? Oh, please sit down."

"Zera, you should have seen today's news, right? Kevin's new book immediately became popular as soon as it was published." Lavin asked intentionally.

"Well, I see, I'm also wondering if this is the result of the marketing and packaging of the London Literary Publishing House." When Zela finished speaking, she actually had a premonition in her heart that Lavin was looking for her. s reason.

"But no matter what, before that, didn't I tell you to talk to Kevin? We should try our best to sign with him. If this is the case, we will be the ones who make a lot of money today." LaVine said.

This is the country of gentlemen, and the tone of scolding is so ordinary, and it doesn't feel rude.

"Dear Vice President Lavin, I did follow your instructions to contact the other party, and I also tried to sign a long-term publishing contract with him. But the other party was not happy. He has never contacted me until now." Ze Ra said.

"That's how it is. You have already contacted the other party. You can't blame you for that. Well, you can work with peace of mind. Try to discover as many good works as possible, so that the company can be competitive."

After Lavin left Zela's office, he felt that the matter was not that simple, so he planned to ask someone to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

After some investigation, he found out that Zela had indeed contacted Kevin, and Kevin had indeed rejected him. Just before that, he also figured out that Zela threw Kevin's "Jane Eyre" into the trash can.

What Lavin was thinking about was the reason why Kevin rejected Zela, and it must be because of this aspect. After all, newcomers are always proud. It seems that there are some things that he has to come forward in person.

LaVine is a person who can foresee business opportunities all the time,

Back then, Dehai Publishing House was still a small publishing house, not well-known in the British literary circle, and it was only under his wise leadership that it came to its current position step by step.

He could think that no matter what, Kevin's next novel would be a bestseller. After inquiring, he also learned that Kevin did not sign a long-term publishing contract with other publishers. Maybe, I still have a chance.

As long as he signs a long-term publishing contract with Kevin, the books written by Kevin can only be published by his own publishing house in the future. This is a good thing for Dehai Publishing House.

In this era, speed is the best business opportunity. So, LaVine immediately dialed Kevin's phone number, trying to ask Kevin to come out and meet.

Kevin didn't attend class today. After seeing an unfamiliar phone number, although he didn't want to answer it, he picked it up out of politeness.

"Hi, hello, are you Mr. Kevin? Oh, let me introduce myself first, my name is Lavin, and I am the vice president of Dehai Publishing House. I am very glad that you and I are in the beautiful city of Edinburgh , This place is so beautiful, just like your talent." Lavin said politely.

"Oh, hello, dear Mr. Lavin. Is there anything I can do?"

"Is there a little thing? I don't know if we can meet each other? Maybe there are some things that need to be met before we can talk better." LaVine said.

"Okay, you're right, I'll go there later."

"Let's go to Diana's restaurant. I'll wait for you there. Oh, thank you, Mr. Kevin, for your visit. See you soon. Goodbye."

Kevin didn't know what Dehai Publishing House was asking him for at this time, but he didn't refuse. Besides, the other party is the vice president of Dehai Publishing House. If he refuses to meet with the other party at this time, it seems that he is a bit arrogant.

After Kevin came to the Diana restaurant, he called Lavin's phone number, and then Lavin went out and took Kevin into a VIP seat.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Kevin to be so young. Seeing you, I seem to have seen the future of English literature." Lavin praised.

"Thank you Mr. Lavin for your appreciation. Oh, let's get into the topic. I wonder what Mr. Lavin plans to talk to me this time?" Kevin is not the kind of long-winded person, so he doesn't want to waste too much time.

"Mr. Kevin is really refreshing. Okay, I think I have to be refreshing. May I ask if Mr. Kevin intends to sign a long-term contract with our publishing house? That is, all the novels you write in the future will be published by our publishing house. Give you the greatest benefit."

"Sorry, your editor Zela contacted me before, and I also explained my point of view. Maybe I won't sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. I hope Mr. Lavin understands." Kevin refused.

"Dear Kevin, I have also learned about the matter between you and Zela. You may have some misunderstandings with the editor of Zela. Of course, these are small things, and I believe you will not take them to heart. So, you can completely Consider signing a long-term publishing contract with our publishing house. As you know, Dehai Press is not only in Edinburgh, Scotland, and even the United Kingdom, it has an incomparable position with other publishing houses." Lavin continued.

"Indeed, I have to admit that your company is excellent. Even, I deeply think that you will go further and become even better."

"Mr. Kevin, please come and cooperate with us. Don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory remuneration. As long as you are willing." Lavin heard Kevin's praise for Dehai Publishing House, and his negotiations will have results in the future up.

"No, dear Mr. Lavin, as I said, I may not sign a long-term publishing contract with any publishing house. So, I am very sorry." Kevin's attitude is still so firm.

"Maybe you shouldn't make a premature decision. You know, signing a contract with our publishing house is not a disadvantage. We have a lot of contacts and companies, and we have the confidence to help you with the various copyrights and channels of your future works." Get through. This is the dream of many authors. I hope that Mr. Kevin will not miss this good opportunity because of his emotions."

Lavin thought that the reason why Kevin rejected him so quickly might have something to do with Zela getting his manuscript into the trash can, so it was as mentioned above.

"But dear Mr. Lavin, sorry, this is the result of careful consideration. Thank you for your appreciation." Kevin said.

"Okay, here is my business card. When you think about it, you are welcome to call me anytime."

After speaking, Lavin handed over his business card to Kevin. Kevin just took the business card and put it in his pocket out of politeness, without looking at it carefully.

Many authors sign long-term publishing contracts with publishing houses, just for the sake of smooth publishing when their talents are exhausted in the future. Now Kevin has the memory of many works of great writers on earth, any of these works can be called a classic, as for publication, he is not worried at all.
