Chapter 092: Book Appreciation

Liu Xing spent an afternoon in the underground bookstore, inspecting more than 3,000 campus novels in total.

The results of the inspection were very fruitful, and a total of 25 star novels were found, including 19 one-star novels, 5 two-star novels, and 1 three-star novel.

After the test, he immediately went to the Book Appraisal Building, preparing to apply for an appraisal of the novel. Only through the appraisal of the Book Appraisal Building can these novels circulate in the book market, and Liu Xing can also make money.

If too many novels are identified at one time, it is easy to make people suspicious, so Liu Xing decided to identify two star-rated novels first, namely the two-star campus novel "Student Times" and the three-star campus novel "How to Practice".

Because these two novels should have the highest yields.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xing arrived at the Jianshu Building with the novel, and when he walked into the hall on the first floor, he unexpectedly found a familiar figure, Wang Lanlan.

At this time, she was sitting on the sofa on the east side of the building's lobby, her childish face with a touch of sadness, and she seemed to be a little unhappy.

Liu Xing walked up: "Wang Lanlan, why are you here?"

Wang Lanlan raised her head, pursed her cherry mouth, and said, "Liu Xing, I'm sorry for you." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The appraisal results of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" have come out, this novel does not meet the standards of star novels, it is just an ordinary novel. ”

After speaking, Wang Lanlan stretched out her small hand and handed over a novel appraisal report of more than 300 pages.

Liu Xing looked at it and found that this was the appraisal report of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man", and turned to the penultimate page, only to see such a sentence written at the end of the page - "Comprehensive evaluation: After repeated appraisal by the expert group of the center, it is confirmed that "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" is an ordinary novel. ”

After reading these lines, Liu Xing's brows furrowed slightly: What's the matter? When I used my book eye to inspect it, "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" was obviously a one-star novel, but how could the appraisal experts determine that it was an ordinary novel? Could it be that the appraisal result was wrong?

The probability of an ordinary book connoisseur making a mistake is about 1 in 1,000, Wang Lanlan's luck will not be so bad, even this kind of small probability event has been touched by her, right?

"Liu Xing, I'm sorry, you helped me put forward so many revisions, and I took great pains, but I still disappointed you. ”

Wang Lanlan said, "My level is too poor to write a star novel." However, don't worry, although "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" is not a star novel, I will still pay you the opinion fee of 19,800 yuan, and your opinion will help me a lot......"

Liu Xing interrupted: "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, let's re-evaluate it again." ”

Wang Lanlan frowned: "No need, right? I really didn't reach the level of a star writer...... Hey, how are you going, where are you going......"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Xing had already walked towards the elevator of the Jianshu Building, and Wang Lanlan followed curiously.

After that, the two took the elevator to the seventh floor of the building together and went straight to the director's office. In the office, sitting a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses was Wu Guokun, the director of the Jianshu Building.

Liu Xing has come to Jianshu Mansion many times, and he is already an old friend with Wu Guokun.

"Xiao Liu, why are you here?" Director Wu Guokun stood up and greeted warmly, "Did you find any good books again?"

"There are a few campus novels that feel good quality, so I took them over and appraised them. Liu Xing handed out the "Student Days" and "How to Train as a Scholar" in his hand.

In addition, Liu Xing also handed out three other ordinary novels, which were used to hide people's ears. After all, if Liu Xing's success rate in applying for the appraisal of star novels is 100%, it will feel somewhat strange.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. After speaking, Wu Guokun immediately asked a female secretary to send five novels to the No. 1 library room.

"Director Wu, there is one more thing to trouble you. Liu Xing put the appraisal report of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" on his desk, "This mystery novel was written by a friend of mine, it took more than half a year and hundreds of revisions repeatedly, I think the quality of the novel seems to be good, but it has been identified as an ordinary novel, can you help me take a look?"

Wu Guokun picked up the appraisal report of the novel and looked at Wang Lanlan who was standing aside: "The novel can't be written by this little girl, right?"

"Hmm. Wang Lanlan nodded.

"It's rare to have such a creative spirit at such a young age! It just happens to be a little free, let me help you take a look. ”

After speaking, Wu Guokun turned on a high-speed computer in the office and retrieved the data information of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" from the database.

The data of all the identified novels is stored in the database of the Appraisal Building, which can be called up at any time.

After that, Director Wu Guokun sat in front of the computer, reviewing the data of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man". These data were calculated by another book connoisseur before, and Wu Guokun is only conducting a second review now.

The reason why Liu Xing asked Director Wu Guokun to re-identify this novel is because Wu Guokun's level of book appreciation is relatively high, and the accuracy rate is naturally higher.

"Dididi!"

Two hours later, a printer next to the computer began to output a file, which was the new appraisal report of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man".

With the report in hand, Wu Guokun walked back to his desk and exclaimed: "Xiao Liu, you are really getting more and more godly! I just recalculated this book "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" and found that it is not an ordinary novel, but a one-star novel......

Hearing this, Wang Lanlan was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard it wrong, her big eyes flashed, and she asked, "Is it really a star?"

"Yes. ”

"But, wasn't it identified as a common novel before?"

"The previous connoisseur was inexperienced, and there were some deviations in the calculation of the data. Wu Guokun introduced, "The star index of a one-star novel must be greater than 1, and the star index of this "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" is 1.004, which is only 0.004 higher than 1. During the first identification, the connoisseur made a small error in his calculations, and the star index was finally calculated to be 0.985, so it was determined that it was an ordinary novel. ”

Liu Xing basically understood that the quality of "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" was between ordinary novels and star novels, and it happened to be on the line. The slightest deviation on the part of the connoisseur can lead to an error in the identification results.

"Congratulations, little girl, it's not easy to write a star novel at such a young age!" Wu Guokun said happily, "It's good to have Liu Xing today, otherwise our book connoisseur will miss an excellent mystery novel again......"

was chatting, at this time, a female secretary walked in, holding five thick documents in her hand, which were the report list of the novel that Liu Xing applied for identification.

"Three-star campus novel?"

When he saw the conclusion of the report, Director Wu Guokun cast a strange look at Liu Xing, "Xiao Liu, your eyes are really thieves, this book "How to Train a Scholar" is amazing, it is a three-star campus novel! Your intuition to search for books is really more and more accurate. ”

"I was just lucky. ”

……

The appraisal results of the two campus novels were expected by Liu Xing, "Student Days" is a two-star novel, and "How a Xueba is Trained" is a three-star novel.

The expert group of Jianshu Building evaluated the influence of "Student Days" and concluded that this campus novel is a green and pollution-free health novel that will not have a negative impact on society.

A novel like this that is full of positive energy is suitable for sale in the market. If nothing else, within three months, "Student Times" can be successfully listed.

According to the relevant regulations of the Reading Alliance, this "Student Days" was discovered by Liu Xing, and he has the right to act as a preemptive agent for the sale of this novel.

Therefore, this "Student Days" will be like "The Master of the Book Coffin", which will bring Liu Xing a lot of income.

As for "How to Train a Scholar", this is a rare three-star campus novel in Huaxia, and its value is self-evident.

However, the expert group of Jianshu Building conducted a preliminary assessment of "How Xueba Became a Scholar", and believed that this novel has potential adverse effects, and it is not appropriate to rashly release it on the market, and it needs to be reviewed first through multiple rounds of clinical trial reading.

The audit period is more than one year.

In other words, it is unlikely that the novel will be released for the next year.

For such novels that cannot be marketed temporarily, the book testing center will choose to auction the novels.

Director Wu Guokun can't say what kind of price "How is Xueba" can be auctioned, he conservatively estimates that it should be more than 200,000 yuan.

"Xiao Liu, there is an auction next week, and I will submit this book "How Scholars Are Trained" for you. ”

"Okay. ”

……

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Xing walked out of the Jianshu Building, and when he came out, he had an extra 200,000 yuan in his bank card. This money is the deposit of the Book Testing Center to advance "Student Days" and "How to Train a Scholar".

Of course, this money is just a small amount of money, and after "Student Times" is released in the market in the future, it will be when Liu Xing will really start to make a lot of money.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

When he walked out of Jianshu Building, Liu Xing was in a good mood, but there was one person who was in a better mood than him, and she was Wang Lanlan.

Wang Lanlan thought that her "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" was an ordinary novel, but she didn't expect that the peak would turn around, and she was miraculously re-identified as a star novel again, and her mood suddenly pulled back to the peak from the bottom.

When leaving the Jianshu Building, Wang Lanlan talked and laughed, jumped and jumped, and was so excited that she couldn't help herself, and sang a few small songs from time to time.

After working hard for so long, she finally wrote a star novel, which is a great joy in her life.

"Liu Xing, it's so dangerous today, I'm almost buried! Thanks to you, you are really my Bole!"

"Don't be so polite. As I said before, once "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" is identified as a star novel, seventy percent of the profits of this novel will belong to me. ”

“……”

……

In the following week, booksellers came to Liu Xing one after another, wanting to sell him scrap books, including the owner of the Qingxin Book Bar, the owner of the Dream Book Bar and others.

These booksellers were bent on getting the Meteor Book Bar out of business, and they did not hesitate to sell the waste books to Liu Xing at a low price.

Liu Xing had already controlled the situation, so he planned to make a plan and start a large-scale purchase of scrap books, almost no one refused.

In seven days, he acquired more than 41,000 scrap books for a total purchase price of 190,000 yuan.

After such a toss, almost all the waste books in the entire novel street have been bought by Liu Xing alone.

His personal collection of waste books has exceeded 100,000 books, becoming the bookseller with the largest collection of books in Novel Street, and at the same time, he is also one of the largest waste book collectors in Tianhai City.

……

On the seventh day, the book bar of wealth.

"Things are really going well, Liu Xing, this kid actually bought all the waste books. Cai Fugui looked proud, "The funds of the Meteor Book Bar should have been completely emptied." ”

Jin Abiao analyzed: "In the past week, the traffic of the Meteor Book Bar has dropped by 25%, and if this continues, the bankruptcy of the Meteor Book Bar should only be a matter of the next few days." ”

Lin Zhong, the owner of the Dream Book Bar, frowned slightly, and said strangely: "There is a question that I can't figure out. The current situation of the Meteor Book Bar should be precarious, but Liu Xing seems to be in a good mood these days. Yesterday afternoon, I also saw him shopping in the mall with Lu Yuxin, Wang Lanlan, and Liu Shiming, buying a lot of things, talking and laughing, what the hell is this kid thinking? There won't be anything boring in this, right?"

"Lao Lin, you're too worried. Liu Xing, this kid is mentally deficient, you can't use normal people's thinking to analyze him. He is happy now, let him be happy, and when the Meteor Book Bar goes out of business, there will be a time for him to cry. Cai Fugui looked at the time and said, "There is an auction in the afternoon, there seem to be a lot of good books, do you want to take a look?"

"I've also heard that there are a couple of three-star novels that are said to be up for auction. ”

"Three-star? It's rare, so it's good to go and see it. ”

……

So, Cai Fugui, Jin Abiao and several booksellers from the book bar went to the auction house together......
