Chapter 169: The First Round of Confrontation (3/6, 500 Monthly Pass Plus Update!)

Lin Han didn't care if the person in front of him was the home field, he walked in front of Robin, his eyes were staring at him tightly, as if there was a strong evil aura condensed behind him, and he was about to do it if he didn't say a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Robin subconsciously took a step back, startled by Lin Han's eyes, although he made a lot of nonsense, he was still a cultural person in his bones, and almost thought that Lin Han was going to use Chinese kung fu to beat himself.

The crowd around was also chattering, and the grievances between Lin Han and the Puppy Gang soon spread, and Robin, who had lost a lot in momentum, was a little weak and wanted to leave, but he still didn't forget to turn his head and remember Lin Han's appearance.

"Leave him alone, he can't come out and really bite me like a dog. Lin Han pointed to the empty console over there, "Let's hurry up and have a battleship battle while no one is around, we didn't have fun at all just now." ”

James glanced at Brian, he really didn't know whether to say that Lin Han had a big heart or something.

So many people around looked at Lin Han and the people of the Little Dog Gang for a while and left, they still had more important things to do, and watching the excitement was only temporary.

Brian sighed, "There are a lot of people in the Puppy Gang, and they are arrogant for their own reasons, in fact, there are quite a few people who quietly support them. I'm really worried that your bid team will be hacked, and you will join forces to send Yanjing out of the first round. ”

Lin Han frowned, according to the character of the puppy, it is really possible to hold a grudge against himself, the Chinese delegation, and it will not be a good thing to let the bid work suffer an unwarranted disaster when the time comes.

No matter what, you have to let Yao Lingfeng and the others know, and you can't hide it. So he said to his two new friends he had just met, "Sorry, I have to deal with these things, and I'm glad to know you." ”

"Me too, no matter what, my ticket belongs to you and Yanjing, looking forward to the day when I go to Yanjing to hold the World Science Fiction Convention. ”

"When the time comes, I'll take you to the authentic Yanjing roast duck!"

Waving his hand and leaving from the battleship game area, Lin Han went straight to the exhibition hall of the Yanjing bidding team, there were not many tourists here, only three or two people stopped nearby to check the videos, photos and some physical models exhibited by the delegation.

The officials didn't know where they disappeared, and the staff of Guoke.com were still holding on, and after Yao Lingfeng saw Lin Han, he immediately walked up, "I heard just now that you almost fought with the people of the Puppy Gang, you weren't injured, right?"

"It's okay, we're just talking harsh to each other, and it's not time to do it yet. Lin Han said slightly apologetically, "A member of the Puppy Gang is also in charge of bidding for Detroit's bid next year, and I'm worried that they will be unfavorable to us." ”

This time it was Yao Lingfeng's turn to be a little anxious, he didn't want to be out of the first round of the bidding competition, at this time his forehead began to sweat, and he muttered repeatedly: "What can I do about this, if I am out of the first round, my face will be too ugly! Alas, what to do. ”

Lin Han exhaled and came out, he wanted to make amends, things had gotten worse because of him, and he should take responsibility, so he discussed and said: "Why don't I hold a speech or a book signing here?" to attract some neutral members to vote for us, they can't control everyone." ”

"If you give a speech and someone will listen to it, or become a bull's-eye, the Puppy Gang will hate you enough, and you will come to steal the limelight, I guess they will hate you even more. Yao Lingfeng pointed to the people in Detroit's bid exhibition hall not far away, and there was a slight complaint in his tone.

Just when Lin Han was quite annoyed, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Hi, Lin, long time no see." ”

Alex stood aside in a T-shirt with Batman on it, and the Penguin publishing editor opened his arms and hugged Linham.

"My friend, I've heard you fight the Puppy Gang for a long time. This is not good news. ”

Lin Han's eyes lit up, if there is anyone who dislikes the Puppy Gang the most, then Penguin Publishing Group will inevitably occupy a place. The Puppies have taken the spotlight on these publishers, and if their science fiction novels are nominated for a Hugo Award, sales are bound to rise by 20 percent or more.

Some novels that were originally unknown became popular because they were nominated or even won at the Hugo Awards, and there were once two books that were originally unattended, but finally sold more than two million copies.

These are all interests, Lin Han's two English novels are represented by them, no matter which one wins the award, it will become the focus of mainstream media attention, and the sales will inevitably be mentioned above.

Blocking people's money is tantamount to killing their parents, so Lin Han's eyes lit up: "Alex, you came just in time." I have something I want your help with, if we want to bid for the next World Science Fiction Convention, can you help us deal with this dilemma?"

Alex is waiting for the current situation, and if he wants to be more closely connected with the writer, in addition to completing the terms stipulated in the contract, it is equally important to do things other than the occasional work.

This is not a difficult thing for Penguin Publishing Group, Alex said, "I'll introduce you to a few friends later, they all admire you." ”

"I'll tell you something later, it's up to you whether you can win it or not. Lin Han also knows that others are willing to help him, but he has to thank him.

"I'm looking forward to what the hell is going on, by the way, don't forget to call a reporter now, my favor is just this face, and there is no second time I missed it. ”

……

When Robin from the Little Dog Gang walked around outside and returned to the bidding pavilion, he was surprised to find that the crowd had all gathered in the Yanjing Pavilion, and his Detroit Pavilion was almost empty.

"Hey, Robin, you're back just in time, can you take care of it here, and I'll take a look outside?"

"What's there to see, those Chinese perform like clowns, can't they stop a little?" Robin was a little grumpy, he kicked the stool with his foot, "I'll go and see first, you continue to guard." ”

Robin probed his brain to the Yenching Pavilion, where several cameras were running, and it seemed that reporters from Fox TV and CBS, as well as reporters from the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Daily were taking pictures and recordings.

Carl Sagan, a famous Hollywood screenwriter and science fiction novelist, was visiting the exhibition hall, and his film "Abandoned World" last year had a bumper box office reputation, but now he was talking and laughing with Lin Han in the exhibition hall, listening to him introduce the development of Chinese science fiction.

And standing next to him was none other than three-time Hugo Award winner David Groed, best-selling author Achillani Brown and George R.R. Martin.

It seems to have turned into a gathering of science fiction bigwigs, Ms. Leslie Tarek is pointing to the same scale model of the Jade Rabbit lunar probe and marveling, the famous singer Tom Smith is a fan of curiosity, Brad Foster is talking to Chinese reporters about the direction of world science fiction literature, and American astronaut Dr. Lindgren is holding his mobile phone and starting to take pictures.

The entire exhibition hall was almost packed, and more and more spectators were still rushing to hear the news, and it was only at the end of the conference that the Hugo Awards were presented at the end of the conference to see so many influential figures gathered together, and the fans almost screamed!

Lin Han saw Robin's face from a distance, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, and then ignored it, and continued to chat with Mrs. Funda-McGinl about her novel "Dream Color".

In the first round of the meeting, Yanjing defeated Detroit! )
