"Why do you only have so many books? I also want to buy a few copies now, where else can I buy them? ”

The black reader was a step late, he thought that there was a lot of books here, but it turned out that there was no more left, and there were more monks and less porridge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The annoyed black brother, who seemed to be a good money-bearer, walked up to the line of readers waiting to sign and asked softly, "Hey, I'll pay £50, will anyone sell me the book?" ”

However, he underestimated the status of i, Robot in the hearts of this hardcore readership, and a mere £50 could not impress anyone at all.

Another blonde snorted and quipped, "No one will sell it to you, so I suggest you hurry up and ask the bookstore next door, maybe they've arrived, but they haven't been put on the table yet." ”

Most of the people who like science fiction are mainly men, but there are also some women who like this type of novel, and blonde beauties are very conspicuous in the team.

"Hey, blondie, how much would you be willing to sell me the book if I slept with you tonight?" The black reader teased, but the language went a little too far.

However, the blonde beauty is not a vegetarian either, she snorted lightly, and then raised her middle finger with her backhand, "F**k-you!" ”

"Then I'm 100 pounds, is anyone willing to sell me the book?"

There was a crowd of people watching the excitement next to the Penguin Publishing Group booth, and one of them sneered, "I'm 150 pounds, who sold me the book?" ”

I don't know if I'm joking or really, Lin Han can sense the tension here from a long distance, and he quickly signed his name, feeling happy in his heart.

What's more fun than bidding on the spot? Although this money is not given to Lin Han's own, there are people who are willing to pay ten times the price to buy books, this should be true love.

The black guy took out four £50 bills from his pocket, and he shook them lightly in his hand, "£200, take the book and change it now, is anyone willing?" ”

The real money was in front of him, and the young man in the leather jacket in the team held up the brand new book in his hand and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy it?" ”

£200 for a book, unless you're crazy, the original price is only £15, and you can make £185 when you change hands, so why not.

Not everyone can resist the temptation of money, and some of the 100 people who buy books may follow the trend, and they may like science fiction and "i, robot", but they don't like it much.

It doesn't seem particularly difficult to accept when he sees a book a day later, and with the £200 he can buy more books he wants!

After the deal was successful, the black guy stood at the back of the line with the book, and he happily kissed the cover of the book, "Baby, I finally got you." ”

Maybe it was because he hadn't written so many words with a pen for a long time, Lin Han's wrists were slightly sore after writing these hundred copies, and it was hard for him to imagine how the rest of the people signed hundreds or thousands of copies.

The surrounding crowds of spectators gradually dispersed, they had their own things to do, but the reporters once again came to Lin Han's side and wanted to interview him.

Most of them are Chinese media, because many Chinese publishing groups have booths here, so there are still a lot of reporters who come over, and the hottest topic on the first day is Lin Hanguang's marriage into the classic book series of Penguin Press.

Since it has a natural language advantage, reporters will not let go of this advantage, and some people have even begun to write manuscripts and send them back to China to wait for review.

"Mr. Lin, as far as we know, this is your first novel, so what gave you the idea to write a science fiction novel?"

Lin Han looked at the station logo of Phoenix News in front of him, and he said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, I've liked science fiction and animation since I was a child, and now I have the ability to write it myself, even if it's a small dream." Of course, there are also some practical factors in it, when I was short of money and I happened to see the Galaxy Award essay, so I tried it. ”

Another reporter with a voice recorder next to him asked, "Now that you have created several books, which one are you more satisfied with?" If so, is there anything you'd like to add or improve? ”

Starting from short stories, Lin Han's creative speed is much faster than that of normal writers, and he has written so many books in a hurry, from "Country Teacher" to "I, Robot", to "The Martian" and the last earthling, artificial beauty, he is relatively stable step by step and has a solid foundation.

"I think each book has its own strengths, strengths, and flaws. I feel that every book needs to be improved, but since a work is written, it belongs to the reader, so I don't plan to rewrite any of the books. ”

Chen Jiaxuan did not stop the reporters' actions, she liked to watch Lin Han talk eloquently, obviously she was nervous before, but once she faced the reporters, she couldn't see it at all.

"According to the revelations on the Internet, it is said that Random House also contacted you and wanted to publish this English version of the book, and then you offered them unacceptable royalties, so they refused to cooperate and put you on the blacklist of never cooperate?"

Lin Han didn't know where the news came from, Random House also had a booth at the London Book Fair, which was obviously the opposite of the truth.

"Since it's a revelation on the Internet, why believe it? I am very happy that Random House was the first to find us for negotiation, but the two sides have different ideas on many issues, so the deal did not work out, and we may cooperate later. ”

It is Lin Han's consistent practice to be a man and leave a line, and he can now of course directly say that a manager of Random House China deliberately lowered the price, but it has no other effect than to increase the breaking point of the news.

The other party will not let the manager resign because of this, and he will not sell a few more books because of this, and even the relationship between the two sides will be at an impasse, even if Random House is acquired by Penguin Publishing Group, it is still a giant in the international publishing industry, even if Lin Han does not cooperate with them, he can't make a bad deal, and the devil knows what moths will come out.

The rise of Chinese reporters to conduct interviews in Chinese made it difficult for a reporter from the British newspaper The Sun next to him, who managed to get such an opportunity.

The Sun has a very high sales and popularity, but the public has a bad impression of them, and the news is very unprofessional and neutral, often using sensationalism to stimulate sales.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, we just interviewed Blair Barker, winner of this year's Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award, who said that "i, robot" is not worthy of being included in the Penguin classics, what do you have to say about this?"

"Who is Blair and is he famous?"

Lin Han didn't need to be polite to this person, if any person commented on him and had to give an explanation, he would have to grow thousands more mouths.
