Chapter 0189 - Brilliant Results
The carefree long holiday only officially began on October 2nd.
Wander around the palace with an army of tourists and see where the emperor and his concubines lived.
Ride a bicycle through the old streets and alleys, looking for the flavor of Lao Pingjing hidden in the depths of the market.
Panting up to the walled towers, overlooking this city where the ancient and the real are intertwined.
Stroll through the magnificent royal gardens and experience the ingenious idea of changing the scenery with each step.
There are also mountains and lakes around Pingjing, and in the next few days of the long holiday, Zhou Lin and Xu Yunyue's footprints traveled almost half of Pingjing.
As the capital of China, Pingjing City perfectly integrates ancient history and modern technology, and often just walks out of an antique palace compound in the former dynasty, and sees the towering high-rise buildings opposite, which makes people have the illusion of passing through time in an instant.
Of course, the most important thing to live up to is the delicious taste of Heikyo.
From the delicious rainbow trout in the cold water lake, to the Lao Pingjing fried noodles with strong characteristics, from the world-famous fruit wood roast duck, to the fragrant preserved fruit pastries, as well as the neighbors' favorite boiled baked cakes, white water sheep's head shabu hot pot spicy grilled wings, etc., these days are refreshing, and the food is also enjoyable.
After eating the shabu mutton of Niujie Jubaoyuan, when she walked out of the door, Xu Yunyue said with a sad face: "I seem to be fat!" ”
Zhou Lin laughed and said, "The fleshy ones are cuter." ”
"Are you saying I'm not cute enough?" Xu Yunyue was annoyed, "You eat it in the future, I'll watch." ”
Women are only unreasonable to the men they like, and when a woman reasoned with a man, there was basically no possibility of two people being together.
Zhou Lin knew this very well, and hurriedly pulled her to buy two cups of old yogurt, which was said to help digestion after eating yogurt, and it would definitely not gain weight.
After eating yogurt, Xu Yunyue asked Zhou Lin: "Today is already the 4th, you are going back on the 6th, right?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Lin nodded.
"When are you coming?" Xu Yunyue asked.
Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know yet." There are a lot of people who have a lot to do after I go back, so if I can find time, I'll spend it with you on New Year's Day. ”
Whether in the past or in this life, the New Year's Eve of 1999 has been endowed with great significance.
From one millennium to another, apart from a glimmer of uncertainty about the future, everyone has their own opinions.
The little ones looked confused, every day was a new day for them, and 1999 was no different from 2000.
It seems that the world will suddenly become a better place in the 21st century, as young people look forward to in the future.
Middle-aged people sighed about their youth, and they used to think that the year 2000 was out of reach, how could it be in the blink of an eye?
The elderly have no desires, they have seen too much of the vicissitudes of life, they have seen enough of the vicissitudes of the world, and they know that the meaning of time lies in the meaninglessness.
And for couples, who they are with in this millennium is very important, as if after that second, it can last forever.
Zhou Lin knew that it was all self-deception.
In the last day, last minute and last second of the last day of 1999 in their previous life, Zhou Lin and Xu Yunyue hugged each other under the fireworks in the sky, and silently made a wish in their hearts that they could be together forever.
On that day, although the sky full of fireworks was extremely gorgeous, after all, it was not a meteor that could realize their wishes, and their love zigzag persisted for more than two years, and finally disappeared under the influence of quarrels and completely different outlooks on life, and since then they have been in peace.
It doesn't matter who you are with at a certain time in your life.
What matters is who you end up spending your life with.
"It's decided." Xu Yunyue seemed very happy to get the promise, and she was now more and more dependent on Zhou Lin.
It was still early, and both of them were a little tired, so they simply went back to the hotel to rest.
Xu Yunyue bought a book and read it with relish, while Zhou Lin turned on the computer to process the email.
Occasionally glancing at Xu Yunyue, who was sitting at the window reading a book, and the sunset was shining on his face, Zhou Lin would feel very down-to-earth.
probably knew that Zhou Lin was on vacation to accompany his girlfriend these days, and friends from all walks of life no longer called to harass him, and sent emails directly if there was anything.
The first email was sent by Gao Zhining, who said excitedly that he and He Xiaolong had found the problem with the online battle platform program and were working hard to solve it, and they would definitely be able to solve it before the end of this month.
Zhou Lin replied: "It's hard work, go back and invite you to a big meal!" ”
The second email was sent by Zhou Ming, listing the income and expenditure of the Singularity Literary Forum in September.
The forum now has tens of thousands of new members and hundreds of new novels every month. In September, the number of authors who won the full attendance award soared to 167, and the expenditure on this piece alone was more than 30,000 yuan, and the monthly ticket reward reached more than 40,000 yuan, a new high.
Fortunately, the income of the forum has also increased, in addition to the recharge income, there is also an income in advertising. Although the income for the whole of September was only more than 10,000 yuan, it is a good sign.
Zhou Lin replied: "The signing system I mentioned before can be considered, you contact the authors at the top of the monthly ticket list and ask them if they are willing to sign a contract." After the work is signed, we only need the online copyright, and the income is fifty-fifty, and at the same time help promote their Chinese publishing rights, only 20% of the introduction fee is charged. By next year at the latest, we will implement a VIP paid reading system next year. ”
The Singularity Literature Forum cannot be free forever, and there are more and more high-quality works at present, and Zhou Lin has also begun to consider charging fees.
The third email was sent by Geng Yunhe, with only one number and one expression.
“30127。”
Behind the number is a crying little face.
Zhou Lin happily replied to Geng Yunhe: "Editor-in-chief Geng, how old are you and still crying, selling cute?" I should have sympathized with you when the sales were so miserable, but I'm really proud. Hopefully, shareholders will hold on. ”
Last week's sales of "Wuxia Weekly" finally stopped at 89,674 copies, which is 100,000 copies short of the highest record, which can be called the biggest dive in the history of Huaguo magazine!
This week is even worse, the sales on Monday just broke 30,000, and I am afraid that the whole week will not exceed 60,000 copies, which is equivalent to being beaten back to its original shape.
It took more than two months for "Liancheng Jue" to conquer the city and beat the record back to its original shape in only two weeks, and I don't know whether to say that "Liancheng Jue" is too strong, or that other works of "Martial Arts Weekly" are too weak.
The next letter made Zhou Lin even more excited.
The letter is from Zhang Xueyuan, which only attaches the list of this week's billboard.
September 27, 1999 to October 3, 1999 at 16:00 p.m.
No. 1 on the "Top Ten Hottest Album List", Yue Lingfeng's album "Wolf" sold 42,120 copies.

"I Am a Wolf from the North" continued to dominate the first place, "You at the Same Table" entered the list in the first week, and Zhou Lin's two songs were on the list at the same time, with brilliant results!
