The scale of the boycott was beyond anyone's expectations, including Mr. Yoo himself, who had magnified the crisis as seen in his world's sources tenfold, but still underestimated the reader's resentment against him.

"At the end of "Book of Swords and Enmity", you personally said that the next book would be a perfect ending of the reunion, and as a result, we all wore contact lenses, you show us this!"

"Maybe you think that every time we readers say to boycott you, we finally forgive you, so you are unscrupulous, so you can ignore our requests again and again, well, this time we let you get what you want!"

"As long as you don't change the ending of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", I won't buy any of your works, and I will do what I say!"

……

"I see!" Liu Jingting finally found the clues of the cause of the incident, and it turned out to be related to his "promise of reunion".

"If the ending of "Blue Blood Sword" comes out first, wouldn't the situation be better?"

In the Yingri Culture Office, the editors were in a meeting to study countermeasures, and often mentioned a possibility, after all, they are hardcore veteran players of the forum, and they have their own set of mentality for netizens.

"It should be better," Liang Silk continued, then smiled wryly, "but this ending will still be ......"

Liangsi didn't continue, looking at the boss Liu Jingting, who was still smiling.

"They're still not going to accept it. Liu Jingting completed Liangsi's words.

Liangsi nodded, with a helpless expression, he had led everyone to persuade countless times, and even put forward the opinion that the actor Hu Fei wrote to death. But Liu Jingting insisted on making them desperate.

"More than a dozen return orders have been received now, and the number of fixed orders online is decreasing. Liang Silk said.

"What about the numbers?"

"At this rate, this sales will be discounted in half. ”

"That means there will be nearly a million copies sold?" asked Mr. Liu.

"Hmm. More than a million. ”

"That's no problem, our bottom line is 200,000 copies, and if we cross this line, we will operate at a loss. ”

After stealing from the business school for so long, Liu Jingting had already made a relatively accurate assessment of the various numbers of "Craftsman's Record", and after saying this number, Liangsi and several other colleagues were a little surprised.

"Yes, because our manuscript fee is the highest in the industry. Two hundred thousand is the bottom line. George continued.

"So, we just do things as usual, a month at most. The limelight will pass, by the way, you usually pay attention to your personal safety, just in case. ”

"Hmm. ”

That's it. There is nothing to say and persuade. Each agreed.

"There is one more thing," Chang Youdao suddenly thought of something, "Lin Tiange wants to publish the book in advance." ”

"Song Dao"?"

"Yes. ”

"How much is it to write?"

He said he could finish it in February. ”

Liu Jingting frowned and pondered, Liangsi lowered his head and flipped through the notebook, and a different color flashed on his face.

"February?It's a bit of a rush, isn't it?"

"Indeed, but he said that he wanted to take advantage of the current review of the book to publish the book this morning, so as not to run into "Blue Blood Sword" when the time comes. ”

"What do you say?"

All kinds of persuasion, but he was very resolute. Although every sentence is very polite, it is very affirmative. It's like ......" Chang Youdao wanted to make a joke, but he glanced at everyone present and didn't continue.

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "It's like I'm not willing to change the ending?"

Chang Youdao nodded, in addition to the relationship between him and Liu Jingting, after all, they were friends first, and Liu Jingting really didn't have any shelf, Chang Youdao's respect for him, sixty percent came from his works, three percent because he didn't care about everything, and the remaining one percent could involve the relationship between the boss and his subordinates.

"Then it will come out in February, in the final analysis, we still have to respect the author's own opinion, "Blue Blood Sword" will be moved to March, what does the contract say?"

"After "Song Dao", he will talk to us about the contract in detail. "There is often a saying.

"Good. Liu Jingting nodded, "Then, today's meeting will be like this, and the work will be dispersed." ”

……

Not long after the meeting of Yingri Culture ended, a confidential meeting of the Yellow River Literature and Art Office quietly began, and there were only three people in attendance, Cui Song, Mo Zhiyu and Xue Muliang.

"Xiao Liang, I specially called you over today because I have something important to tell you, I think you may also be aware of some information. ”

Mo Zhiyu looked at Xue Muliang, and his tone was full of the momentum of a wisdom bead in his hand.

"Sister Mo is talking about ......" Of course, Xue Muliang had to pretend to be confused.

"Gu Yongsheng. ”

"Huh?"

Mo Zhiyu smiled and said, "Do you know Si Liang?"

He is the executive editor of "Craftsman" and the former editor of "Wanderer". ”

Mo Zhiyu nodded and said, "He is my closed disciple, a genius magazine person." ”

Xue Muliang immediately caught the point and looked shocked.

"That's right, except for Gu Yongsheng and that Chang Youdao, the other editors of "Craftsman Record" are all our people!"

Xue Muliang was shocked again, and after being speechless for a moment, he asked, "There is another Xu Sen?"

"Now it's also our people," Mo Zhiyu said with a smile, "I've been persuaded by Liangsi, think about it, he and Liu Jingting are both people who came out of the essay contest, now one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, how can there be no pimples in my heart?"

"So Sister Mo's plan is ......"

"You'll see it right away," Mo Zhiyu said with a profound smile: "Originally, it would have been delayed, but now it's the right time, the right place and all the people are gathered, and it's the best chance to end the game." ”

"Sister Mo is talking about the boycott of readers this time?"

"It's this fuse, I didn't expect readers to rebound so strongly this time. ”

"Haha, because Gu Yongsheng is too bad this time," Cui Song, who had been silent, suddenly answered, "I also watched "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", it can be said that it is definitely a superior work, but the ending is too pitiful, I want to ask Gu Yongsheng face to face what is going on." ”

Xue Muliang said: "That's the hype of him and Qianhong, creating a topic, but it turned out to be self-defeating." ”

"There is this possibility," Mo Zhiyu continued, "It also shows that in the dark, God is helping us." ”

"Did Sister Mo do anything inside their magazine?" As soon as Xue Muliang heard that Liangsi was his own person, the first thing that came to mind was to do it from within their magazine, such as finance, such as the author.

Mo Zhiyu shook his head and said: "No, I didn't plan to do this, I didn't want to destroy him this time, but to bring him and the magazine together, and the few of them are absolutely competent as the editors of "Craftsman Record". ”

Xue Muliang secretly pondered for a while, and suddenly said happily: "Sister Mo means to kidnap Gu Yongsheng with magazines?"

Mo Zhiyu finally nodded, praised the "smart", and then sighed: "And that Gu Yongsheng is also really clever, while fully delegating power to Liangsi, while controlling some key links well, if they rely on the company's finances, he can detect that there is a problem in minutes, Vientiane School Park is really amazing." ”

Vientiane School Park has a world-famous "Cradle Plan of Entrepreneurship",But where there are students in the school park to start their own businesses,As long as there is a reasonable and feasible plan,The school will give all-round support,Liu Jingting registered"Yingri culture"When he did not apply for funds from the school,The relevant information was handed over after the company was registered,The operation of the Yingri culture company,In addition to the operation of Gu Yongsheng who is learning and managing in the open,There are naturally other invisible help behind it。

"Cui She, Sister Mo, do I need to do anything now?"

Xue Muliang is so shrewd, the two bosses have only now completely told themselves about the plan, and it must be time for them to participate.

"Soon after, I will arrange for you an author with great potential. Mo Zhiyu said with a smile.

……

The Qianhong culture, which accidentally lay down the gun, was naturally also at a meeting, and the meeting had an in-depth discussion on the reader's "resist yourself if necessary", and finally everyone agreed that the implication of this sentence is that as long as "Dajianghu" can cut off relations with Gu Yongsheng in time, it should be able to resolve the crisis.

At the insistence of editor-in-chief Wei Wuzhi, "Dajianghu" apologized for this appointment with Gu Yongsheng, and at the same time canceled a qiē related activities about "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".

Qianhong's public relations reaction was indeed quick to cut through the mess, but afterwards they found that in fact, at this time, not many people paid attention to it at all, as Yi Shui'an said, when the matter broke out, Gu Yongsheng would bear almost all the verbal criticism.

At the meeting, Lu Yichou also announced another news, Yi Shui'an, the editor-in-chief of "Dajianghu", will write behind closed doors and will take a leave of absence for two months, and the editor-in-chief will be temporarily concurrently served by Wei Wuzhi.

……

On January 11, the Jianghai Central Meteorological Observatory released cold wave information, which is the first low-temperature cold wave of the new year, and it is said that the temperature will reach a minimum of minus 6 degrees Celsius.

The next day, the official Weibo of "Craftsman" announced that its popular newcomer Sky Pavilion will release a new book "Song Dao" in early February. (To be continued......)
