Chapter 111: I was deceived again
At the end of January, on Ivory Island, with the return of Lin Taiping, the Ivory Evening News and Men's Wear Magazine finally resumed their normal distribution, and readers who had been accustomed to watching the evening newspaper every day for dinner finally resumed their familiar daily life after half a month of suffering.
In fact, because of the interruption for half a month, the sales volume of the new issue of the evening newspaper set a new record, and many readers couldn't wait to stand on the side of the road to read it as soon as they got the evening newspaper, and then they were suddenly surprised to find that on the third page of the familiar evening newspaper, a story full of fantasy was actually published.
To be more precise, this is just the beginning of a story, the name of the story is "The Lord of the Rings", and the author column is of course shamelessly filled in with "Lin", and when it comes to the specific content of the story, it is full of attraction, so that many readers can't help but read it after seeing the first sentence -
When Mr. Bilbo announced that he would soon be holding a grand feast for his 111th birthday, the inhabitants of Habiton were excited. β
"Bilbo was not only very wealthy, but also a maverick, and for sixty years since his mysterious disappearance and miraculous return, he has been the talk of the town in the Shire. β
The passage of time doesn't seem to have left much of a mark on Bilbo. He was 90 years old as he was 50. When he was ninety-nine years old, people in the neighborhood began to call him "a good health practitioner", but I am afraid that "immortality" is a more accurate term......
I have to admit that this new fantasy story is completely different from the clichΓ©d bards in the world of Consence, so the moment they saw this story, almost all readers were deeply intrigued, but as soon as they read that the magical ring appeared, the serialization part of the evening newspaper suddenly ended.
Damn, this is deliberately whetting our appetite!
The readers who were tickled were extremely angry, and many rushed to the door of the evening newspaper with newspapers. Lin was asked to hand over the manuscript, but to their disappointment, the night song that stayed in the evening newspaper told them that Lin was doing his best to spurt blood for follow-up creation, so even if you burned the evening newspaper, you couldn't see the follow-up content of "The Lord of the Rings".
What can I do? Since everyone has said so, the disappointed readers have no choice but to leave, but Yege is very kind, and especially revealed to them that there should be a new serial in the next issue of the evening newspaper...... Merely. Wait patiently for another three days.
Three days, three whole days, the people of Ivory Island never found out that three days was such a long time, and in the next three days, everyone was discussing the story called "The Lord of the Rings", whether the hobbits had unlocked the secret of the Lord of the Rings, where they planned to take the Lord of the Rings, and who was the white-robed Gandalf mentioned in the story......
All in all. Like a tropical storm, The Lord of the Rings suddenly became the hottest topic on Ivory Island, whether it was at a nobleman's dinner party or a commoner's tavern. Everywhere you go, you can hear people talking about the mysterious ring, and even the bards on the streets don't sing bards, but instead talk about The Lord of the Rings.
Then, wait until after the long three days have passed. When the evening newspaper began to officially publish a new issue, nearly 50,000 copies of the evening newspaper were snapped up by enthusiastic readers in just two hours. The gossip news of the past has become unattractive, and many people can't wait to turn to the third edition, and then-
A few seconds later, hundreds of readers at the entrance of the evening newspaper office suddenly spurted blood from their mouths.
We have been deceived! Where is the good hobbit, where is the good white-robed Gandalf, today's evening newspaper did not continue to serialize "The Lord of the Rings" at all, but published a book of "Carnegie Successology" that I don't know what it was, and it was the first article of this "Carnegie Successology".
We're going to see the Lord of the Rings! We're going to see the Hobbits! What the hell do you want to see Carnegie succeeding!
The readers who had waited for three days in white were suddenly angry, and immediately surrounded the evening newspaper, but in the face of their anger, Chu Chu's poor night song just blocked the door and blinked innocently: "What, I only said that there will be a new serialization in the evening newspaper...... Attention, I'm talking about the new serial, not saying it must be the Lord of the Rings. β
Shameless, shameless, this trap is simply too shameless, a large group of readers gritted their teeth with hatred, but they couldn't find a reason to blame, so they could only leave with resentment, many people casually threw the evening newspaper into the trash, but after thinking about it, they picked up the evening newspaper again.
Ahem, I've already bought it anyway, and although I can't see the new issue of The Lord of the Rings, it's better to make do with this "Carnegie Success" than to read nothing.
However, the strange thing is that in the process of reading at random, many readers who were originally casual gradually became solemn and showed thoughtful expressions.
"How to succeed, start from little by little, success is very simple, sincerely praise others, remember the names of others, let the other party express themselves more, let others feel that they are important, stimulate the noble motives of the other party, and remember that how you treat others, others will treat you as you are. β
In this way, after reading it in one breath, it seems that the article is just over 3,000 words, and it is not a profound truth, but it makes many people feel quite rewarding, especially those young people who are working hard, and those businessmen who are eager to develop, and they vaguely feel as if they have captured the secret of success.
But the problem is that just when the climax of this article was written, it was quite hateful, and there was not even a preview of the next issue...... As a result, many readers who had just left the evening newspaper actually went around again, surrounding the evening newspaper and asking to see the following content of "Carnegie Successology".
"No, not really. "If you are interested, you can wait for the serialization of our next evening newspaper...... You ask if it's a serialization of "Carnegie Success", and I swear by my character, absolutely, I promise that I won't lie to you again. β
Well, seeing Yege so swearing, depressed readers could only barely believe it, and left helplessly, and the next three days turned into a long tormented wait again, only this time in addition to discussing "The Lord of the Rings", many people began to regard "Carnegie Success" as a hot topic.
Three days later, there was another long queue in front of the evening newspaper, and many readers rushed to buy the evening newspaper while eagerly turning to the third edition, and secretly swore in their hearts that if they were deceived again this time, they would ...... Burst!
Tears flowed, and the next moment, when I saw the serialized part of the third edition, almost all readers burst into tears at the same time.
That's right, this third edition is indeed serializing the following content of "Carnegie Successology", but the question is who can sue me, why only 500 words are published, and it is not enough to plug the gap between my teeth.
On the contrary, most of the pages are serializing a new book, which is neither a fiction story nor a business theory of success, but a ...... Well, I don't know what to say, anyway, the name of the book is "A Good Mother is Better Than a Good Teacher".
Deceived! Deceived again! Why do we say again?
The poor readers were spurting blood again, but strangely enough, while the male readers were angry and protesting, the female readers of Ivory Island, especially the mothers who had just given birth, were so satisfied with the serialization that they even pulled their husbands over to watch it together.
There is no profound truth, this book has many detailed and vivid examples, put forward refreshing family education principles, and also gives many simple and practical operation methods, so that many readers after reading, involuntarily suddenly realized: "Well, it turns out that children can be taught like this, well, it turns out that my previous education method is wrong......"
As a result, the evening newspaper was once again surrounded by fanatical readers, but this time it was surrounded by female readers, and those young mothers came directly to the door with their children in their arms, and strongly demanded that the evening newspaper take out the manuscript behind it, and the mother's protests and the crying of babies turned the entire evening newspaper into a children's playground.
"No, not really. Ye Ge was still repeating his words, "If you are interested, you can wait for the serialization of our next evening newspaper...... What, you ask, is it a serialization of "A Good Mother is Better Than a Good Teacher...... Well, guess?"
Don't guess, readers who have been deceived three times in a row have been completely numb this time, they have completely understood, the evening newspaper doesn't plan to let people read a book well, anyway, there will be new book introductions in each issue, anyway, each issue is to hang everyone's appetite, and the ghost knows what the next issue will be.
As it turned out, they guessed right!
Three days later, the third edition of the new issue of the evening newspaper really hatefully cut off "A Good Mother is Better Than a Good Teacher", and this time the newly launched book serialization made a very strange jump and replaced it with "How to Become a Fashionable Woman".
Very good and powerful, this time the people who surrounded the evening newspaper were replaced by those noble ladies who longed for beauty, but they did not protest regardless of their image, but directly took out a large amount of gold coins and slapped them on the table, demanding to see the rest of the book immediately, and preferably only for themselves.
"No, not really. "In the face of the surging crowd and the angry protests, the night song completely turned into a repeater, repeating the words that he had repeated countless times, and resenting Lin Taiping a hundred times, a hundred times, a hundred times.
"If you are interested, you can wait for the next issue of our evening newspaper...... Hey, hey, I'm not done yet, which bastard smashed my apple?" (To be continued......)
