Frankfurt, late at night, looks a bit dark and dirty from the plane, unlike cities like Yanjing, which are brightly lit all night.

When Zhang Chu walked out of the airport with a box, Zhou Kang and Ye Shumei stood at the entrance of the street with a smile holding signs.

"You've been traveling smoothly, right?"

Zhou Kang looked up and down at Zhang Chu's eyes, his arms and thighs were still there, and it seemed that there was no missing parts.

"For your blessing, I was not caught by the Vatican trial. This time I found that they did not check their passports, and maybe they could go again next time."

Although it took a flight for several hours, Zhang Chu was in good spirits and could joke with them.

Ye Shumei pointed to the camera next to her and said, "Now fugitives can be caught even when they watch a concert. Do you think the Holy See is isolated from the world and has not produced facial recognition?"

The LED advertising screens on the airport are promoting the Frankfurt Book Fair, which is probably a recent grand event.

Faced with Ye Shumei's reminder, Zhang Chu pursed his lips and said helplessly: "The Vatican is too small, and it is enough to go there once. How are we preparing for the press conference?"

"Now everything is ready, you are the only one who can appear!"

"The opening ceremony was held yesterday, but it has been only open to media journalists and publishing industry people in the past two days. The public will only be allowed to come in tomorrow weekend, so we just chose a good time."

"The organizer is very proud of our new book launch conference. Our new book launch conference is in the largest hall. It is expected that there will be more than a few hundred media press conferences. Now the reporter certificates for the interview have been issued, and many domestic media want to get it through us."

"Yes, this time there is no signing process as you wish. Ordinary readers can get the trial book of the first ten chapters for free, and media reporters and book reviewers will get the whole book."

These two people are just talking about each other, and they will describe the form clearly.

"The Da Vinci Code" should be the most popular new book at this book fair, not because of its content or the identity of the writer, but because everyone wants to see if the 12 million pounds in Random House is worth it!

Even though several Nobel Prize winners of literature released new books at the book fair, they only attracted real literary enthusiasts.

This is like the difference between art films and commercial films. "The Da Vinci Code" mainly takes the best-selling route of commercial orientation. With the joint promotion of three publishing houses, the £12 million pound is definitely an unprecedented huge royalty for a young writer.

In summary, of course everyone wants to report related matters more!

It is midnight now, so they did not go to the exhibition hall directly, but went to the booked hotel to rest.

There were not many people at the Marriott Hotel, which was decorated in a magnificent manner, and only the front desk staff were left.

Zhang Chu took out his passport and prepared to register for the room card. Who knew that at this time, a burly man over 1.9 meters tall suddenly stood up from the sofa in the hall and walked straight towards Zhang Chu and others!

The tank-like aura scared the three of them, and they all held their bags tightly, thinking that it was a robbery.

"Hello, is it Mr. Zhang Chu?" The dark-blonde man greeted him in awkward English. After saying that, he raised the photo in his hand, and came with great care.

Perhaps because he had read too many novels, there were many dramas, and Zhang Chu's first reaction was that he was chased!

Could it be that the people in the church knew that the Da Vinci Code was written by himself, so this big man came to kill him?

But didn’t Dan Brown live well in his previous life?

The drama master possessed her, Zhang Chuyi said in a righteous manner: "No, we Asians are the same, you must have admitted it wrong."

After saying that, he took his passport and room card in his hand, pushed Ye Shumei and Zhou Kang and walked towards the elevator.

The man only then showed a shy smile, "I'm not a bad person. Let me introduce myself. I am Nicholas Becker, the editor of Spgreen Press, Germany. After I found out about your stay in the hotel in advance, I came to find you specifically."

At this time, Zhou Kang, the English scumbag, couldn't understand what they were saying, and looked confused.

Ye Shumei can at least say a few words, but Nicholas' English has a strong German accent, which sounds very difficult!

Before arriving in Germany, Zhang Chu also learned about the publishing house, mainly Holtzbrink Publishing Group, Springer, and Karl Hanzel Publishing Company.

Among them, the Springer Publishing Company mentioned by Nicholas is the third largest publishing group in Germany. It mainly focuses on technological content and is famous for publishing academic publications. Many of them are core journals!

Even though Nicholas showed his identity, Zhang Chu's vigilance did not fade much. He must be more careful when traveling abroad.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but now is definitely not a suitable meeting time. You can give me your business card and make an appointment to meet again another day. How about it?"

The strong German man with big arms and round waist felt too oppressive. When he stood at the bar, the blond front desk waitress was much more restrained.

Nicholas smiled bitterly: "Our Springer Publishing Company is now seeking transformation, and the sales of academic publications are getting worse and worse. I heard that "The Da Vinci Code" is a work with a lot of knowledge, so I wanted to try whether it can release a German version."

It is normal for the publishing industry to be in a downturn. Over the past few years, Springer's profits have been falling. Now we are trying to find ways to make changes.

"It's already one o'clock in the morning in Munich time in Germany. Do you think this conversation is appropriate? Springer Publishing Company is very strong and has a great influence in Germany. In the case of similar conditions, we will focus on it!"

"I'm sorry to disturb you in the rest. I've been waiting for four hours at the hotel reception. This beautiful lady can testify for me. Tomorrow's press conference will surely bring you business. I hope Springer has a fair competition opportunity. The conditions we give will never be worse than other publishing companies."

Nicholas said sincerely, his expression looked very sincere, at least Zhang Chu could not see any traces of lying.

He nodded, "We will make a comprehensive assessment, I believe in your strength. Good night, Mr. Becker!"

"Good night."

Nicholas just wanted to show his sincerity, but in fact he thought that the other party was moved by his sincerity, so he agreed directly.

Now it seems that everything is idealized!

Zhang Chu was relieved after watching Nicholas push the door out of the hotel. Fortunately, he was just an editor of an ordinary publishing house.

Zhou Kang asked curiously in the elevator: "What did you talk to that person just now? Why do you feel a little unwilling to accept it?"

"He is the editor of Springer Publishing Company in Germany, and he specifically blocks the door just to get the German publication rights of "The Da Vinci Code". I asked him to come back tomorrow, in a more formal way, rather than suddenly appearing in the hotel!"

"Oh, that's it. I thought I was here to find fault. I even found out the embassy's police phone number. If there is any unexpected action, I will call for help." Zhou Kang also breathed a sigh of relief, "You have a good rest and come to see you tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning."
