Chapter 329: Conquest of the Island Country

[Fifteen months without going out.] Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today, I suddenly want to go out for a walk, from the field to the study, from the riverside to the downtown block, hoping for a fresh breeze.

In the early morning gazing at the evening, the most beautiful is the sunset red, warm and calm.

You say that you get to Austria, and the real Vienna sees the Danube all blue.

I say:

May the breeze blow through your ears and bring coolness.

May the sunset be scattered overhead, and there will be no sorrow or joy.

- I never expected it]

The communication between Han Shi and pen pals has not stopped, and Han Shi likes the communication method of writing letters more than text messages and phone calls.

Maybe Han Shi is an old person, or maybe he likes the sound of the pen rubbing on the letterhead.

At the beginning, Han Shi had time to reply, and when he opened the letter, no matter what he was doing, he would reply whenever and where, except when he ate persimmons.

Is there anything more attractive to Han Shi than a persimmon?

The answer is: Yes

Two persimmons.

[Received a reply from you, don't like your pen name, but I don't say, I'm sure you'll change your pen name one day.]

Suddenly, ask me what love is.

I don't know, I think the deepest love is that after you left, I lived like you.

I'm in Israel, and my next stop is Pakistan.

When I was in China, I often heard that Israel has the highest number of people in the world, with nearly 70 books per person per year.

When they arrived, they found that there was a surplus of books in Israel, and when a nation was confused, it was a fault to read books, it was a fault not to read, and it was an even greater fault to read too much.

Back in Jerusalem, where there is a signing session by the Israeli writer Amos Oz, "The Story of Love and Darkness" in my hands, I want to go and see it.

- Childe is silent]

Han Shi's travel continued, and the reply to the pen pal did not fluctuate at all because he participated in the Ranbu Award with "The Old Man in the Corner" in the island country.

But the members of the jury committee were entangled because of this move that did not make any waves.

"What then?"

"If the author has no publication plan, it can't prove that "The Old Man in the Corner" is really a classic, and if the Internet and the media don't change their tone, it will be a big trouble. ”

"What's the big trouble, to put it bluntly, the public integrity will investigate. ”

"President, do you already have a way?"

……

I can't contact the author, I can't find anyone, to be precise, I don't even know who it is, I said before that there are many anonymous people, but no one has ever won a jackpot candidate, let alone a serious jackpot.

Of course, the islanders are also smart, and Motohiko Izawa does have a way, he has grasped a point, before submitting the Ranbu Award, or other awards are the same, you need to understand a submission notice.

The general content is that the Ranbu Award has the right to promote your book while absolutely protecting your interests.

It may be a bit incomprehensible to say this, and it may seem like a tyranny treaty of the Ranbu Award, but in fact, it is not as complicated as imagined.

For example-

"Ranbu Award, the highest mystery novel award in the island country, do you want to be on the throne of reasoning?Do you want to make your debut as a super-large newcomer?Sign up, and your book may be the next "Sarumaru Vision", "Angel's Scars", and "The Old Man in the Corner" to help you become a king. ”

That's what this kind of propaganda means, don't get entangled in why the promotional lines of the Ranbu Award are so secondary, if cats are the only existence where the entire race is a neurotic existence, then the island country is the only country where the whole country is the second.

Therefore, the propaganda in the notice is probably what it means, and there is no harm in it, and there is almost no need to say it in Huaxia.

There was no other way, and the committee gave full play to his ability, TV stations, newspapers, subway billboards, and variety shows to comprehensively refute the rumors.

Let's not talk about the rest, let's talk about the day, the official website of the Ranbu Award suddenly pulled out a big banner-

[After "Angel's Scars", the best mystery novel of the Ranbu Award hits, "The Old Man in the Corner" changes your reasoning habits, buy online to learn, and the Edogawa Ranbu Award creates miracles!]

Advertisements that occupy one-fifth of the pages can be seen by even the blind as soon as they enter the site.

Motohiko Izawa's arrangement is a side-kick, and in a broad sense, he is using fiction to promote awards. But in a narrow sense, he was selling the electronic version of "The Old Man in the Corner".

Yes, you heard it right.

It's to sell the electronic version of "The Old Man in the Corner", providing downloads in txt, pdf and other formats, 80 yen, which is equivalent to more than five soft girl coins, which is really not cheap at all.

After a day of hard work, the program of the official website of the Ranbu Award was able to work overtime to open the payment function of online banking and other payment software.

The Ranbu Award is also more than 20 years, not to mention selling it online, and I don't even do anything to advertise books, but I just honestly announce the voting results and the evaluation of each work, which is very regular.

Motohiko Izawa has set a precedent this year, and since this year, the following Ranbu Awards will sign an agreement with the jackpot works and sell them on the website.

"The Old Man in the Corner" inadvertently set a precedent, and Han Shi's anonymity will forever hang in the history of island country mystery novels.

However, these are the later things, not to mention it first, the money earned by the electronic version is not deducted at all, and all of it is transferred to the bank card left by Han Shi.

"The Old Man in the Corner" was launched for an hour, and the number of downloads changed from "0" to "234966", that is, within an hour, more than 10 million yen, and Han Shi earned more than 1 million without knowing it.

Bang la blah.

It seems to be the sound of gold coins flowing into Han Shi's pocket, there is no doubt that such an achievement not only frightened the media reporters outside, but even Izawa Motohiko and others were stunned by this, knowing that speculative novels are the most unsuitable for reading in the way of e-books.

To be honest, there are several reasons for this effect.

First of all, the Edogawa Ranpo Award, as the No. 1 reasoning award in the island country, focuses on popularity itself is quite high.

There are also a lot of media resources used by the committee, not to mention that the matter of Chinese first has been noisy and endless in the past few days.

To put it simply, Han Shi unknowingly took a big advantage, and the direct publication of the Ranbu Award would definitely not be so vigorously promoted, nor would it have such a big attention, and the money he got would not be so much.

You don't see, the Island Country Publishing House is also very dark, and the money bought on the official website of the Ranbu Award is not deducted at all, not even the website maintenance fee.

Han Shi unknowingly gained a big advantage in this way, however...... The island people are cheap, and it is blind not to take advantage of it.

"The Old Man in the Corner" proves the beginning! (To be continued.) )
