I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 43: The hype is getting hotter! (Congratulations and get rich!)
By 2000, office software had become popular in Europe.

However, in China, where computers are not yet widespread, many people have not yet realized the importance of these software programs. They are even less aware that in the next decade, operating these software programs will become a necessary skill.

There are only two or three software classes.

Not everyone understands it very well.

Fortunately, this did not pose a problem for Liu Jin.

He skillfully connected online and then told everyone about his plan.

It is already a very complete plan, it just needs to be put into words and then converted into a PPT file.

During this process, Liu Jin explained in detail the uses of these software.

And what they are going to do with the software.

Probably because it was all in Chinese, everyone, including Yang Dongqi and Sun Yue, could understand it very clearly.

It is explained more clearly than their software course teacher.

According to Liu Jin's ideas, several people started operating on the computer.

Liu Jin also began to work on the project plan.

Before I knew it, it was nine o'clock.

The school is closing.

The entire plan has been mature, and with everyone's brainstorming, Liu Jin's ideas have become very complete.

Next, he just needs to complete the plan.

After leaving school, Liu Jin treated everyone to a meal, then took out the money he had prepared long ago and gave it to everyone.

"Xiao Jin, there's no need to be like this. We didn't do anything, but you taught us a lot."

Yang Dongqi felt a little embarrassed.

But Selena was not polite and took it.

"thank you boss."

"Come on, give me a kowtow."

"Go to hell you!"

Liu Jin joked with her for a while, then said to Yang Dongqi, "Brother Dongqi, things are different outside of China. If you do something, you should be paid. There's no such thing as right or wrong. Everyone has given me a lot of inspiration today, and I'm confident that I can complete this project. This money is your reward. Once it's approved, I'll treat everyone to a big dinner."

"Okay!"

Liu Sisi smiled happily.

……

After dinner, Liu Jin and Sun Yue walked home.

Halfway through the journey, the phone rang.

It's an unfamiliar number.

"Good evening, Liu Jin. I hope I didn't disturb you. I'm Marlene Farmer."

"what?"

"We have met Alice's guardian."

"I know, I know... I just didn't expect it to be you. Good evening, Ms. Marlene."

Passing by a convenience store, Liu Jin signaled Sun Yue to buy him two bottles of water.

He stood outside and continued talking to Marlene.

"I saw your response in the Humane Journal today."

"Hahaha, how's it going?"

"That's a very good trick." Marlene also laughed on the other end of the phone. She said softly, "But I think we should add some fuel to the fire."

"Oh?"

"Alizee's album was released on the 21st, and as of tonight, copies have been sold in the Paris area."

"what?"

Liu Jin was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is this result good or bad?"

"This is a very good result. We originally expected that if we could sell 50,000 records by the weekend, it would be a victory. But now it seems that in the Paris area alone, we can reach this number by Saturday at the latest. The sales volume in France should reach 150,000.

This result exceeded our expectations.

But I think it can be a little higher.

After all, the album will only be rolled out in full force next week. We expect sales in France to exceed 500,000 copies by the end of next week.”

"so?"

"So, Laurent and I discussed it and decided to join the bet."

"You mean..."

"Tomorrow's Le Monde, Libération, and Twenty Minutes will all publish our story. Alice will put up 100,000 francs to guarantee the sale of 10,000 copies of your book. Whether Libération responds or not, the story will be hot.

However, you may have to bear some pressure, so I want to discuss this with you."

Liu Jin, smiled!
These French people also understand traffic.

"I have no objection. I hope to push Alizee's sales to a new peak next week."

"Thank you very much, then."

Marlene knows how to respect.

In fact, whether she makes this call or not will not affect her statement.

This phone call also made Liu Jin feel more favorable towards her.

But I guess it's also related to Alice.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin sent a text message to Alijie, asking her to keep up the good work.

Alijie replied immediately: Of course I will try my best!

Liu Jin didn't reply and put the phone away with a smile.

At this time, Sun Yue finished buying things and came out of the convenience store.

He can already carry out some simple communication!
Compared with the past, there has been a lot of progress.

In his previous life, Sun Yue didn’t learn a few words of French in an entire year.

"Brother Jin, are you moving out soon?"

"Hmm?" "It seems like you have too much on your plate, maybe you need some space of your own."

Liu Jin walked forward with a smile and put his arms around Sun Yue's neck. "What's wrong? Can't bear to leave me?"

"Hey, a little bit."

Sun Yue smiled.

“When you’re here, I feel at ease.

Actually, it's not just me. Dongqi and Dadong are also like this. And Sisi, she even asked you about it when you were in Paris.

But I have a feeling that you are walking too fast, and we may not be able to keep up."

"If you can't keep up, then try your best to catch up. Look at you now. You can already go out by yourself to buy things, ask for directions, and even communicate with French people. Don't worry, it's only been a month and a half. With time, you will definitely get better and better..."

Everything will get better and better for everyone!"

"Hey, that's for sure."

Most of the time, Sun Yue looks silly, like a child who has not grown up.

But in fact, he is also the most sensitive child of all.

Sensitive children are generally very smart.

It’s just that many people can’t see it!

……

As Marlene said, the next day, Le Figaro, Le Monde and several important newspapers in the Paris area published Alice's statement of support for Liu Jin.

The stakes have reached 200,000 francs.

Farne had originally written the article casually.

But I didn't expect to face such a result.

He definitely doesn't want to bet!
The so-called streaking was just something he said casually.

But now...

Early in the morning, he received a call from the editor-in-chief, asking him to respond.

"Farne, you started this war, and you must continue to fight, otherwise the reputation of Liberation will be damaged."

"Editor-in-chief, I know."

"I'm glad you know this. I hope you can respond as soon as possible. I will reserve space for you in tomorrow's publication.

Farne, bet with them.

If you win, you get 200,000 francs."

But what if I lose?
I'm gonna have to run naked across the Place de la Bastille!

After hanging up the phone, Farne was furious.

He didn't want to respond.

But he also knew that Liu Jin and Ma Lian had already set him up.

Now it’s not a question of whether he is willing or not, but that Liberation Daily wants to take advantage of this traffic.

Ten thousand copies...

It should be difficult!
He had inquired and found out that for many new writers, it was considered a great success if they could achieve sales of 5,000 copies.

Of course, there are also some new monsters.

This guy shouldn't be a monster.

If I had known this, I would have said 30,000 copies!

Farne began to hesitate how to respond.

In Toulouse, Liu Jin met with Mela and Chloe who had hurried back.

"I sold the Top Chef project for 200,000."

"so little?"

“However, TF1 gave you an interview opportunity.

Of course, this interview will only be effective after Amélie sells 10000 copies.”

Liu Jin was stunned.

"Interview, what interview?"

"Vivement Dimanche!" (Come on Sunday!)

"what?"

Chloe put down the Belgian pork knuckle she was struggling with and gave Mela a look.

"He doesn't even have a TV there. It's no use telling him this."

After that, she looked at Liu Jin and said in a very serious tone: "It's an interview program that Sophie Marceau often participates in."

"Oh!"

Liu Jin immediately understood.

He still doesn't know.

But he knew Sophie Marceau.

Chloe looked disdainful.

Looking at Meila, he said, "See, I was right, no man is a good thing!"

"Hey!"

Liu Jin immediately disagreed.

"It's normal for me to know Sophie Marceau, okay? Even if I go to China, in places like the Imperial Capital, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, if you mention Sophie Marceau, many people will know her. But I really don't know which show it is."

"Move now and buy a TV... or you'll be cut off from the world."

"No money!"

"this is not……"

"I have another use."

Chloe scoffed, "Men!"

Liu Jin looked bewildered...
