Chapter 168 Promotion
The Canton Fair came to a close in a warm atmosphere.
Qingdao Publishing House shined brightly at this Canton Fair.
During the Canton Fair, we successfully found a Japanese bookseller and signed an order for 10 copies.
He also met a Thai bookseller and asked Qingdao Publishing House to publish a Thai version of "The Monkey King" and placed an order for 5 copies.
In the end, Qingdao Publishing House won an order worth up to 125 million US dollars.
That’s not all, they also received $27 in costume design fees, which is an impressive achievement.
Compared with this, other publishing houses are not so lucky.
Some publishers received slightly more orders, with orders of $4 to $5, but some received very few orders, with orders of only $1.
The brilliant achievements of Qingdao Publishing House have made other publishing houses envious, and everyone has seen Qingdao receive such lucrative orders.
Many people began to think of asking the painters of the publishing house to learn new painting methods from Jiang Weimin.
When everyone found Jiang Weimin, what was admirable was that Jiang Weimin agreed without hesitation to the request from other publishing houses to send people to study.
Jiang Weimin is currently in need of an experienced painter to help him.
When he had some free time after a busy day, An Tai took Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei to the Guangzhou Military Region to visit An Nuo.
This time, An Nuo learned about Jiang Weimin and his team's arrival early on, and took a day off in advance.
She happily took Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei to travel around Guangzhou to fully appreciate the unique charm of this city.
As for An Tai, after seeing Jiang Weimin and the other two having fun, he went back with peace of mind.
During the tour, Jiang Weimin was in great interest and took a lot of photos. Those photos seemed to freeze beautiful moments, carrying this unforgettable experience and precious memories.
Jiang Weimin sat quietly on the train, looking through the window at the Guangzhou Railway Station which was gradually moving away, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
He knew very well that he would not come to this city again before his new book was released.
Looking back on this period of time, the prosperity of Shanghai, the bustle of Guangzhou, and the simplicity of Jinan are all imprinted in his memory.
At this moment, his thoughts couldn't help but drift towards the future. The next city he might go to should be Beijing.
There is a profound historical heritage and unique cultural charm there, and he looks forward to starting a new journey in that city.
When Jiang Weimin and his four companions returned to Qingdao Publishing House, they were immediately given a warm welcome ceremony carefully arranged by Qingdao Publishing House.
The atmosphere was lively, colorful flags were flying, and people's faces were filled with joy and pride.
Moreover, leaders of Qingdao Publishing Bureau also visited the scene and gave high praise and affirmation to their outstanding performance.
Afterwards, Song Wenqing rewarded everyone with foreign exchange coupons as usual.
In view of the outstanding performance of Jiang Weimin's three works due to foreign exchange orders, he was paid more than 5000 yuan in royalties.
Including this money and the money Jiang Weimin had in An Jie's hands, he now has almost 3 yuan.
This amount of money was not a small sum at the time, enough to buy two courtyard houses in Beijing. Thinking of this, Jiang Weimin felt full of a sense of accomplishment.
Afterwards, Jiang Weimin was left alone by Song Wenqing.
Song Wenqing had a gratified smile on her face, and her eyes were full of admiration for Jiang Weimin.
He patted Jiang Weimin's shoulder gently, as if he had a lot to say.
Jiang Weimin waited quietly, wondering in his heart why his leader had left him alone.
"Xiao Jiang, come here, let me introduce you to this person. This is the leader of our publishing bureau," Song Wenqing said enthusiastically.
Jiang Weimin quickly stood up respectfully, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, leader!"
The leader smiled and nodded, his eyes full of appreciation, "Hello, Comrade Jiang, Comrade Jiang brought in more than 150 million US dollars in orders for Qingdao at the Canton Fair this time!
It also indirectly helped Qingdao's second and third printing and dyeing factories obtain orders worth more than 200 million yuan.
You have helped Qingdao obtain orders worth 600 million US dollars this year alone. It is true that heroes emerge from youth!"
This year, the leadership of the Publishing Bureau also rose along with the foreign exchange orders Jiang Weimin obtained.
Moreover, because of Jiang Weimin's clothing design quota, he also gained rich political resources.
Jiang Weimin said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, leader!"
"This time I am issuing you the appointment letter on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee!" the leader of the Publishing Bureau said solemnly.
"Letter of appointment?" Jiang Weimin was slightly stunned.
"Yes, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department has decided to create a new position of vice president for Qingdao Publishing House, and you will be the one to take on the position.
And your rank will be raised to deputy director level!" The loud voice of the publishing bureau leader echoed in the room.
When they heard the leader of the Publishing Bureau announce the end, Song Wenqing and Feng Nan immediately began to applaud enthusiastically.
Jiang Weimin was filled with shock. He never expected that Qingdao Publishing House would be so courageous as to directly promote him to the deputy director level position of the publishing house.
After a long while, when Jiang Weimin came back to his senses, he immediately said: "Thank you, leaders, and thank you for the trust of the organization."
As soon as Jiang Weimin joined the publishing house, Song Wenqing actively helped Jiang Weimin join the party, so that it would be convenient to reward Jiang Weimin later and increase Jiang Weimin's sense of belonging.
At this moment, Jiang Weimin had a trance feeling. He was an ordinary person in his previous life, but now he became a leader at such a young age in this life.
A few happy and a few sad!
Different from the bustle and joy at the Second and Third Printing and Dyeing Factories and Qingdao Publishing House, the First Printing and Dyeing Factory was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere at this time.
Director Hao of the First Printing and Dyeing Factory was standing in the factory director's office, emotionally excited and fiercely criticizing the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory and Qingdao Publishing House.
"Director Hao, didn't you say at the beginning that any painter can design clothes?
He also assured me that the painters at Qingdao Publishing House had just started learning to paint and their level must be average.
But now, the second and third printing and dyeing factories have received large foreign exchange orders, while the order volume of our printing and dyeing factory has decreased by 30%.
You still have this attitude now, aren't you trying to shirk responsibility?"
Director Hao rolled his eyes and said hurriedly, "Director, in my opinion, it was Jiang Weimin from Qingdao Publishing House who was causing trouble. If it weren't for him, our orders wouldn't have been snatched away by the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory and the Guangzhou Printing and Dyeing Factory."
The director of the First Printing and Dyeing Factory had a gloomy face and sternly questioned Director Hao: "Then tell me, what should we do in this situation now?"
"We should report this to the higher authorities and ask Qingdao Publishing House to apologize to us and redesign the clothes for us."
The director of the First Printing and Dyeing Factory frowned upon hearing this and snorted, "You're quite bold! How can this be so easy? Not to mention whether Qingdao Publishing House is willing or not, even the higher-ups may not necessarily support our request."
