Chapter 187: The Game Begins

Starlight Newspaper has created an unprecedented miracle.

Single-day newspaper sales, 1.2 million!!

This achievement shocked the entire newspaper industry.

1.2 million copies!

Previously, the highest single-day sales of Hong Kong Island newspapers were "Oriental Daily", what was the sales volume?

600,000!

This is a figure published by the Oriental Daily newspaper itself, and there must be a lot of moisture in it.

And now "Starlight Daily" has relied on a "Three-Body Problem" to increase the highest single-day sales of Hong Kong Island newspapers to 1.2 million copies, which has fully doubled!

"Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and many other big newspapers and periodicals, when they learned of this achievement, were confused and autistic.

Who would have thought that Sheng Tianbu's "Three-Body Problem" would be so fierce, and he would also make the newspaper into a work of art, and there would be no one!

But 1.2 million copies sold in a single day is not the final result, and it is far from the peak.

Things have developed so far that the entire newspaper and magazine industry is looking forward to it.

The opponent is so strong, envy can be had, jealousy is useless, because the two are not a progression at all, and no matter how jealous you are, you can't catch up.

They also want to know where the limits of these issues of "Starlight Daily" are!

Now, the issues of Starlight Daily have become a cultural phenomenon!

Different from salty. Wet magazine, Sheng Tianbu ordered Zhan Mi to bring a huge amount of money into the market, and hyped up the first issue of "Fengyue", Yang Du They didn't have this idea at all, but it didn't matter, others had!

A spontaneous stir-fry activity from the folk began.

Of course, there are differences.

This newspaper activity is not an issue, but the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", a journal of the entire serialization!

What is the shoe fried? It's nothing more than feelings, quality.

And now this is already a cultural phenomenon, and the emotional elements are all together.

After Yang Du learned of this situation, he was also very cooperative.

First of all, he ordered all the staff of the "Starlight Daily" to do their utmost to ensure the quality of these issues of the newspaper.

Then there are all kinds of out-of-print anti-counterfeiting designs, paper, ink, imprints, all the same!

The result of this was an increase in costs, and then the price of the Starlight Daily was temporarily doubled, and no one had a problem with it.

The time, the place, the people, all together!

In another ten or twenty years, as long as you can collect them, then these collector's editions will definitely make a lot of money.

The more influential Sheng Tianbu is, the more valuable these things are!

The first part of "The Three-Body Problem" has a total of 206,000 words, and Yang Du intends to be serialized in five phases, the first issue is 50,000 words, and the next three issues, each issue is 40,000 words, and the fifth issue is the end!

After five phases, the sales results of each phase are as follows:

Phase 1: 1.2 million!

Phase 2: 1.3 million were sold on the same day, and another day, there were 200,000 copies left, all sold out!

In the third and fourth phases, Yang Du directly increased the print run to 1.8 million, just to see how big the market capacity of the Hong Kong Olympic Games is, and the final sales of these two phases are:

1.65 million, 1.58 million!

In the fifth issue, the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" ended, and the sales of "Starlight Daily" also reached an unprecedented height.

1.75 million!!

That's the final sales figure, with 1.8 million copies printed and only 50,000 unsold.

The industry is shocked!

All the people of the Hong Kong Olympics added together is less than 6 million, and 1.75 million are sold, isn't this equivalent to every 3 people, 1 person buys it?

So far, the highest sales of newspapers in a single day has been fixed at 1.75 million, and Starlight Newspaper has pushed the highest sales of newspapers on Hong Kong Island to an unattainable height!

Not even they can break it!

Yang Du played so big this time, he had already considered losing money, after all, the previous advertising was so ferocious, burning money like running water.

But now, I found that this is simply a stroke of genius!

As a result, not only did he not lose money, but he also made millions of dollars!

The profit of the newspaper is of course lower than that of the magazine, but it cannot stand the murderous sales of nearly 8 million in five issues, which is the sales of many medium-sized newspapers and magazines for nearly three months!

It's a money grab!

The explosion of "Three-Body Problem" also slapped countless people in the face.

Entertainment celebrities are shocked.

Jin Yong said in public that although he is not very fond of science fiction, Mr. Makino's "Three-Body Problem" is definitely an extremely rare classic.

He also said that Mr. Sheng's pen work is perfect!

The four talents of Hong Kong Island, the other three also have their own expressions.

In the show, Huang Zhan ridiculed his old friend, saying that as soon as "The Three-Body Problem" came out, his old friend was really nothing, and Mr. Sheng was the first person in science fiction and an absolute masterpiece.

He's looking forward to the next two parts!

Ni Kuang was very embarrassed, it was originally just a sentence of self-humility, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face, and self-humility became a reality.

Originally, many people did not recognize his science fiction, imagination is enough, but it is too, as long as it can't be explained, it will use metaphysics, customs, and theology.

Only not science!

In the past, his sci-fi was only more controversial, but after Sheng Tianbu's "Three-Body Problem" came out, his sci-fi was sprayed with incompleteness.

No way, the gap is too big, it's completely one heaven and one underground!

is also because of "The Three-Body Problem", all the controversies against Ni Kuang's science fiction have disappeared, because now, no one regards his science fiction as science fiction.

Ni Kuang's depression in his heart can be imagined, but there is no way to do it.

He can only generously say that "The Three-Body Problem" is really powerful, and Mr. Sheng is even sharper.

also said in public that just because of this "Three-Body Problem", Sheng Tianbu has become his own sci-fi idol, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about losing to his idol, which is natural.

With the end of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", Sheng Tianbu became a god in a battle.

——

When "The Three-Body Problem" came out, "Starlight Daily" was infinitely beautiful, creating one miracle after another, shaking the entire newspaper and magazine industry, and making countless people happy, surprised, and helpless.

The 72-hour game has also begun.

That night, Tian Yangsheng took action and dealt with Jiang Lang in one fell swoop, so that while he continued to be an undercover agent, he also became Sheng Tianbu's informant.

Liangkun is also doing a good job.

He really didn't disappoint Sheng Tianbu, Sheng Tianbu didn't say anything, he did this thing beautifully, and the matter of Johnnie Wang's anger to Sheng Tianbu was known to everyone in the rivers and lakes.

Sheng Tianbu dialed Liangkun's phone and gave an order.

"Mr. Sheng, don't worry, I will do it beautifully."

Liangkun replied solemnly.

After that, he immediately took action, and in the early morning of the next morning, he met with Dongxing Dadong, Heliansheng Deng Bo, and Xinji Li Guosheng, and conveyed Sheng Tianbu's order.

This order is also very simple, it is to stare Johnnie Wang!

Not just Johnnie Wang, but also all the core personnel under his command.

No matter where they appear, all the people in the rivers and lakes must keep an eye on them, and then report upwards layer by layer.

But in fact, this is just for show, and there is no need to report it to Sheng Tianbu at all.

Sheng Tianbu just wanted to constantly put pressure on Johnnie Wang, making him feel embattled.

When the pressure is at its peak, he will explode!

At that time, it was the time of his death.

In addition to this incident, Sheng Tianbu asked the Zodiac to take action, and let Li Jie, Zuo Wei and others quietly sneak into Mingxin Hospital to conduct a detailed investigation.

Jiang Lang didn't know where Johnnie Wang's batch of arms was for the time being, but Sheng Tianbu knew.

It's at Mingxin Hospital!

He needs to investigate these things first, and then minimize the damage, not only to give Jianming a big gift, but also to increase his influence again, in one fell swoop.

After doing this, Sheng Tianbu contacted Li Wenbin again and told him the general situation.

Of course, the exact location of that batch of arms was not mentioned.

Then, Liu Jianming was mentioned slightly.

After receiving Sheng Tianbu's call, Li Wenbin was overjoyed and destroyed Johnnie Wang's gang, which was definitely another great achievement!

But hearing Sheng Tianbu mention Liu Jianming, Li Wenbin instantly understood, and quickly said: "Mr. Sheng, please rest assured, I will arrange this matter, and this matter Jianming will definitely be the first credit!" ”

"Jianming's merits are obvious to all, he should have been promoted a long time ago, and if he comes to this kind of big case again, after two years, he will definitely be promoted, and he will soon be able to become a senior inspector."

After a few phone calls, everything was finalized, and Sheng Tianbu didn't do anything else.

From the next morning, things fermented.

Sheng Tianbu gave an order, and all the four major prefixes took action, and then they passed the word to dozens of small and medium-sized prefixes on Hong Kong Island.

The whole river and lake moved, and the efficiency was incredible.

Now the question is, how can so many people, how can each of them recognize Johnnie Wang, Jiang Lang, One-Eyed Dragon Crazy Seven and others?

As early as when Sheng Tianbu called Liangkun, he sent the portraits of more than a dozen core members such as Johnnie Wang, Jiang Lang, and One-Eyed Dragon Crazy Seven.

Each of them printed 100,000 copies, an exaggerated number.

No one dares not to take the godfather's affairs to heart.

Not only that, but they also want to make a contribution in this matter, so that they can take the Shengtian, a warship-level luxury cruise ship, even if they can't board the ship, tie a rope, and drag themselves along.

So, these guys became famous instantly!

But whoever comes out to mix, no one doesn't know them, and they make the whole world remember them in such an alternative way.

Johnnie Wong soon felt the terrifying pressure of embattlement.

——

Mong Kok, bustling street.

Johnnie Wong appears.

Behind him, as usual, there were many younger brothers, Jiang Lang, One-Eyed Dragon Madness Seven and others were among them.

The face is very ugly.

They found an extremely strange thing, no matter where they went, they seemed to have a pair of eyes staring at them, like a thorn in their back, which made them extremely irritable.

Johnnie Wang's face stinks, and he takes the lead.

Street corner.

Two old boys are standing in front of a newsstand, chatting, as if choosing which salty book to buy. The wet magazine is good, and the discussion is extremely intense, but their acting skills are extremely clumsy.

Often chatting and chatting, his eyes can't help but drift towards Johnnie Wang and others.

It is also understandable, after all, they are not professionally trained, not professional.

When Johnnie Wang passed by the two, he suddenly turned around and yelled at the two of them with an "ah", startling the two of them.

"You two hit the streets!"

Johnnie Wang pointed fiercely at the two of them, gritted his teeth, and said, "I warn you, no matter what word you come from, you are not allowed to stare at me again!" ”

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Lao Tzu will kill you!"

The two old boys were stunned and didn't answer.

Jiang Lang stepped forward and said, "Forget Johnny, this has nothing to do with them, it's all Sheng Tianbu doing ghosts." ”

Johnnie Wong snorted and turned to leave.

After a few steps, someone in front of him stared at him, and the two guys before didn't pay attention to his warning.

Johnnie Wang's lungs almost exploded!

He turned sharply, violently pushed his own people away, walked quickly to the two men, drew his pistol directly from his arms, held the barrel, and swung the gun at one of them.

Another punch knocked the other man down.

"When Lao Tzu's words are the wind in your ears, or do you think Lao Tzu doesn't dare to kill you?"

"Looking for death? Okay, I'll fulfill you! ”

Johnnie Wang's hysterical roar knocked the two men to the ground, and with a flick of his wrist and grip on the gun, he was about to open the safety and kill them.

"Johnnie, don't be impulsive!"

Jiang Lang's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Johnnie Wang's right hand, and stopped him.

Johnnie Wang yelled, "Don't stop me, I'm going to kill these two bastards!" ”

At this moment, there was a crisp applause not far away.

Lin Huaile led people to appear.

He smiled kindly: "Johnny is really powerful and brave, in broad daylight, he dares to use guns on the street, and he will kill me and Liansheng." ”

"You have to kill him, or I'll look down on you."

"Ah ghost, Beckham, you two can leave with confidence, I promise you, as long as he dares to make a move, he will never be able to leave Jotun."

Just as Lin Huaile spoke, the atmosphere of the scene changed instantaneously.

Those who were still hiding no longer hidden, or turned around, or turned their heads, their faces were cold, their eyes were cold, and they stared at Johnnie Wang, Jiang Lang and others in a daze.

Johnnie Wang's face froze.

The other younger brothers were terrified.

Accompanied by Zheng Wu, Huang Mao and others, Lin Huaile came to Johnnie Wang, made a gesture of "please", smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Johnnie, you're welcome, you can do it." ”

Zheng Wu sneered: "Damn, you think you're the only one with a gun?" ”

"Me and Liansheng too!"

"Not only do we have guns, but we also have ten times as many people as them, dare to do it, and if we can get out of Jotun, you are my father!"

As the largest number one on Hong Kong Island, the number of people is naturally many times with Liansheng.

At present, there are only about a dozen people in Johnnie Wang and Jiang Lang, and there are more than forty people in Heliansheng, and more people are rushing here with guys.

Soon, Johnnie Wang, Jiang Lang and others were surrounded to death.

In an instant, the members of Heliansheng gathered more than 200 people, and the passers-by were shocked and discussed.

In addition to passers-by, there are military uniforms that are responsible for patrols.

Two poor people, one old and one young.

This is also a classic combination of the Hong Kong Island errand system, after the rookie joins, he is often led by a senior brother with more years of experience, which can not only teach something, but also be safer than patrolling alone.

Old is not about age, but about errand experience.

and Liansheng's move almost didn't scare the two poor people half to death.

The rookie only joined the work, it was the hot-blooded period, but when he came up, he encountered such a fierce thing, even if he was hot-blooded, he didn't dare to rush to this side, and he was so nervous that his whole body trembled.

I don't know what to do.

The senior brother was still experienced, so he stood far away and didn't come over, and then decisively took out the intercom machine and began to call the headquarters, and after connecting, quickly reported what happened here.

Johnnie Wang's more than ten people saw Heliansheng so powerful, even if they usually licked the blood on the tip of the knife, they were also worried.

I scolded in my heart: What's going on with Liansheng, there are so many people here, do they have nothing to do, just staring at themselves?

They guessed right!

Just Heliansheng, Hongxing, Dongxing, Xinji and the rest of the words, there is nothing else to do in the past three days, so you have to keep an eye on them!

Johnnie Wang's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Le, you and I have dealt with each other before, and we can be regarded as old acquaintances, and we have some friendships. ”

Lin Huaile nodded and said, "That's right, but that was before, and now if you offend Mr. Sheng, you will offend me and Liansheng." ”

"Let's put it bluntly, what Mr. Sheng commands, Liansheng and I will do."

"It's not just me and Liansheng, it's also dozens of other big and small prefixes on Hong Kong Island."

"Don't you want to play a 72-hour game with Mr. Sheng, it's very kind, so daring, then in the past three days, all the words in Hong Kong have done nothing, just to stare at you."

Johnnie Wang's lungs were about to be blown up, and he was so squeezed by Lin Huaile that he couldn't speak.

Lin Huaile shook his head slightly and said, "Johnnie, you are very crazy, I knew this before, but what I didn't expect was that you were so crazy that you dared to fight with Mr. Sheng!" ”

"You said that everyone was shocked by Mr. Sheng, if you are not surprised, then let you see Mr. Sheng's ability, lest you mistakenly think that the name of the godfather of the family is paper paste and not a problem."

Zheng Wu sneered, swept at Johnnie Wang's other junior brothers, and scolded: "The big guy is a psychopath, and so are you little brothers, because you neurotic bosses like him are all with you!" ”

"Now he wants to find death, and you are also looking for death, even disregarding the lives of your family and friends, I don't know what you gang think?"

As soon as these words came out, a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on the faces of Johnnie Wang's younger brothers.

Originally, Johnnie Wang was tough and strong, and they didn't want to, but now they are being pointed at and scolded, so they don't want to.

Johnnie Wang was furious, pointed at Zheng Wu and scolded: "Add money, you fucking bastard who only has money in his eyes, regards loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety as nothing, and is embarrassed to say it to others? ”

"What are you doing now? Instigating my little brother to betray his own boss? ”

Zheng Wu was not afraid at all, and sneered: "Yes, I just instigated them to betray, so what? ”

"You're going crazy and looking for death now, do you have to do the same?"

"Even if this matter spreads to the rivers and lakes, no one dares to say that I am not half a sentence!"

"You're funny!"

Johnnie Wang was furious and glared at Zheng Wu fiercely: "Hit the street!" What the hell do you say, what the do you say? ”

"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now?"

Zheng Wu stared indifferently into Johnnie Wang's eyes, and slowly spit out two words: "Don't believe it." ”

Johnnie Wong is about to blow up!

After some swearing, the conflict intensified.

And Liansheng's little brothers, who were watching coldly, spontaneously surrounded them with various cold weapons such as fruit knives and watermelon knives, and some people put their hands in their pockets, ready to draw their guns at any time.

Johnnie Wang was shocked, he didn't need other younger brothers to speak, he knew that he couldn't mess around again, otherwise he would be beaten to death by He Liansheng on the street.

"Wait!!"

He waved his hands left and right, shouted, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Huaile: "Ah Le, do you really want to do so much?" ”

Lin Huaile frowned slightly and said, "Have I done anything?" ”

"Johnnie, it's all your old man who is making trouble, my brother didn't do anything, just looked at you twice, and you beat him like this, he was almost crippled, and the medical expenses alone were hundreds of thousands."

"You're going to say no to me?"

"Yellow hair."

Lin Huaile stretched out his hand to the two messengers not far away, and said, "I see that Johnny doesn't know what he has done, go and call those two sirs over." ”

"Let them judge."

Huang Mao immediately responded: "Yes, Brother Le!" He raised his feet and walked towards the two uniforms.

"Wait!!"

Johnnie Wang snorted again, gritted his teeth and said, "I admit that I did something wrong!" ”

"I shouldn't have beaten someone because I was looked at a few more times, and it was even more wrong for me to beat like this!"

"I'm willing to pay for the medical expenses, so it's okay, right?"

"Fun! Elder brother!! ”

Lin Huaile smiled slightly and said, "Johnny brother, you see, things are easy to solve, if you were so good at talking from the beginning, how could it be like this?" ”

"Two people, 100,000 each, that's 200,000."

"I have so many brothers coming over, each of them always has to give a few hundred yuan for the carriage and horses, and I don't ask you for more, 300,000 is good, add it up, a total of 500,000, what do you think?"

Johnnie Wang didn't bother to say half a word of nonsense, waved at a certain hand, and immediately someone opened the suitcase, all of which were thousand-yuan bills, and took out five stacks of 100,000 yuan each, and handed them to He Liansheng and others.

"Let's disperse."

Lin Huaile spoke.

The members of Heliansheng who were surrounded by all sides immediately dispersed.

Johnnie Wang didn't say a word, turned and left.

Lin Huaile calmly stared at Johnnie Wang's back, and said casually: "Johnnie, don't think that it is me and Liansheng who are targeting you, and it's not right, Liansheng and I are indeed targeting you." ”

"But against you, it's not just me and Liansheng, but the entire rivers and lakes!"

"If I were you, I would buy a boat and run away now, and maybe there would be a glimmer of life."

"By the way, there's one last thing."

Johnnie Wang didn't answer, just stopped.

Lin Huaile said with a smile: "You are not dead now, just because Mr. Sheng wants to play games with you, otherwise you will not be able to pass the level with me and Liansheng alone." ”

"I used to respect you for three points, that's because you have a lot of guns, and it's not necessary."

"But now, if you step on the line, then I'm sorry, no one will surprise you anymore, no matter how big the price is, you will die."

Johnnie Wang scolded in his heart, last night at the Regal Club, Tian Yangsheng said something similar!

It's grassy!

Johnnie Wang still didn't say a word, and his face turned pale and led people away.

Soon, he understood what it meant to be embattled.

Just after he left Jordan and left Lin Huaile's territory, he was targeted again.

This time, it's a new record!

The whole street, a pair of eyes, whether intentional or unintentional, were staring at them.

It makes them feel like a thorn in their back, they are delirious, and their scalps are numb!
