Li Yuan didn't know that in the recent period, there have been earth-shaking changes outside.

Due to the relatively small publishing market in Hong Kong, there are not many books that have publishing value throughout the year. In addition to some imported overseas books, there are only a few martial arts, romance, and comic masters from Hong Kong and Taiwan left. Other than that, they basically rely on those teaching aids to survive.

However, on the other hand, due to the bidding mechanism of the Hong Kong Education Department, the teaching aids can only be said to be low-profit, and they are just in a state of not having enough to eat and starving.

Therefore, for every book with publishing value, those publishing houses in Hong Kong will go all out, so that they can bite the full mouthful of fat!

Of course, from the very beginning, Ruan Da Fook did a good job at least on the surface in order to make a sycophant, and did give a certain amount of publicity and promotion.

Didn't expect it to be worth publishing now? Isn't that why not strike while the iron is hot? It must be all kinds of propaganda flying all over the sky. I hope to completely fire the book "Casino".

And word of mouth has also begun to ferment slowly, and more and more people know about it. Although it is still spreading in a few small circles because of the short time, the sales volume has steadily approached the 10,000 mark. According to this trend, it is no longer 3,000 sets as originally estimated, but can reach 30,000 sets!

In the Hong Kong book market, the best-selling books that can reach 30,000 sets are basically guaranteed to enter the best-selling list of the whole year.

So on these days, Nguyen Da Phuc is in pain and happy. It's cool to count the money, but the contract is still not signed?

……

In another area, the unexpected best-selling of "Casino" has also attracted the attention of some people. Among them are book buyers from the mainland stationed in Hong Kong.

This should be understandable.

In this era, there was relatively little communication with overseas, but the country was eager to obtain overseas information, so a large number of overseas public publications were collected.

Hong Kong is a top priority. Although Hong Kong publications use traditional Chinese characters, at least there are no reading barriers. Therefore, a lot of people have been arranged to pay attention to it!

Generally speaking, as long as the circulation reaches a certain standard, the mainland will buy it at home.

Of course, there are certain audit criteria. For example, those salty and wet books or horse scriptures and the like, that will definitely not be bought. Those publications with strong specialization will also be transferred to professional departments for review and so on.

And this book "The Vast Ocean is a Casino" was unsurprisingly handed over to domestic war history experts for review. After reading it, I couldn't help but applaud the case, because this book has a very high ...... Academic value! Ahem.

As I have introduced before, the advantages of the book "Casino" are that it is rich in knowledge points and a collection of swaggers, but I didn't expect that there is another academic value now? I don't know if a certain reborn hanger will die of laughter directly.

Then again, it's not surprising.

For example, about the Battle of Dadonggou.

During this period, the mainstream academic research in China basically believed that the Beiyang Fleet was corrupt in the imperial court and cowardly in the upper echelons, and the middle and lower ranks were still relatively heroic. Especially Deng Shichang and other officers and soldiers of the Zhiyuan ship.

But in the book "Casino", in addition to still paying tribute to Deng Shichang and other officers and soldiers of the Zhiyuan ship, he scolded the Beiyang Fleet from Li Hongzhang, the fleet admiral Ding Ruchang, to the ordinary sailors and soldiers!

Perhaps the layman does not know, and thinks that the number of warships in China and Japan is about the same, and the strength should be about the same. There are even rumors that the Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled naval funds to build the Summer Palace. It is even believed that the strength of the Northern Fleet is slightly inferior.

But in fact, relying on the two ironclad ships of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, the strength of the Beiyang Fleet is still crushing. It's like a heavy tank facing a thin-skinned armored vehicle, and you can win with a dog, right?

So it's all rotten to the root from top to bottom. Will such a naval battle be lost?

The other is a mythical story of a rapid-fire gun.。

That's the book's braggadocio in the newspapers after the war! I didn't expect the impact to be far-reaching, and even today, I still think that the book won the Battle of Dadonggou because of their rapid-fire artillery?

Why did the later navies all be cannon giants? Even the book himself built a super battleship like the Yamato Musashi? Why didn't they just shoot rapid-fire guns? What about a machine-gun ship?

Naval equipment specialists all over the world are not fools! Rapid-fire guns are not useful for armored ships and battleships at all!

Moreover, the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship were hit by more than 100 guns one after another, and they did not hurt or itch, and did not affect the combat effectiveness in the slightest, but proved that the rapid-fire guns were useless at all!

This kind of subversive content, and it is reasonable and well-founded, and very different from the content of the current mainstream academic research in China, there are many more in the book "Casino......

Why is this so?

It's very simple. A group of keyboard warriors tore thousands of floors, copied and pasted all the information they could find, and there were a few very professional gods mixed in them. Except for the fact that some buildings are splashing and rolling, isn't the reason clearer and clearer the more they are debated?

Therefore, the original version of "Casino" is an excerpt from Mr. Yu Tianren's information, and this second creation of "Casino" is the result of the joint efforts of countless keyboard warriors.

In today's era, how can such detailed information and such a clear point of view not make people gasp?

One thing to say, whether you agree with the views in "Casino" or not, experts will definitely recognize the academic value of this collective work of keyboard warriors. And give a high rating.

It's a little different from a publishing house. Publishing houses are still biased towards literature, while experts are more biased towards academics.

To put it mildly, at least it can be placed in major universities and libraries, and can be used as reference materials, right?

In that case, then ...... Publishing an in-house publication?

All right! You should understand what this means. There is not so much foreign exchange, but overseas literature is more important, and Lao Tzu steals it...... Published in-house!

Since this is an internal book on military history, it will definitely be transferred to the Military Publishing House. However, after the senior management of the publishing house got the task, they couldn't believe their eyes - we are all ready to publish it formally, and you still want to publish it in-house? Are you kidding? (laughs and cries)

Stimulated by this, Zhang Hui immediately found Geng Yue: "Xiao Geng, about the book "Casino", has that Li Yuan been contacted?" ”

Geng Yue was a little strange: "Elder Zhang, the letter has been sent out according to your wishes?" Calculate the time, that Li Yuan should have received it, right? ”

"I'm asking if you've got in touch?" Zhang Hui was a little out of breath. It's almost an oolong incident.

"We're sending registered mail?" Geng Yue was confused.

She really didn't figure out why Zhang Hui was so anxious......
