Chapter 100 Provocation and Counterattack

(Please collect and recommend tickets~)

"Why are you only preparing such a few books? I want to buy a few now, where can I buy them?"

This black reader came one step late. He thought there was a lot of books here, but he found that there was no leftover, and there was too much monk and too little porridge.

The annoyed black brother seemed to be the one who was not short of money. He walked to the line of readers waiting for signatures and asked softly, "Hey, I'm paying 50 pounds, is anyone willing to sell me the book?"

However, he underestimated his position in the hearts of this group of hardcore readers, and a mere £50 cannot impress others.

Another blonde beauty burst into laughter, and she quipped, "No one will sell it to you. I suggest you go to the bookstore next to you to ask. Maybe they have arrived, but they have not been put on it yet."

Most of the people who like science fiction novels are mainly men, but some women also like this type of novel. The blonde beauty is very conspicuous in the team.

"Hi, blondie, if I sleep with you tonight, how much would you like to sell me the book?" the black reader teased, but the language was a little too much.

However, the blonde beauty is not a vegetarian. She snorted softly, then raised her middle finger with her backhand, "fk-temptation!"

"Then I'll pay 100 pounds, will anyone sell me the books?"

There was a group of people watching the fun next to the booth of Penguin Publishing Group. One of them sneered, "I paid 150 pounds, who sold me the book?"

I don't know if this person is joking or to be honest, Lin Han could detect the tension here from a long distance. He quickly signed his name and felt a sense of joy.

What makes people happier than bidding on the spot? Although the money is not for Lin Han himself, some people are willing to spend ten times the price to buy books, which should be true love.

The black guy took out four £50 banknotes from his pocket, and he shook them gently in his hand, "200 £, now I'll exchange the book, is anyone willing?"

Real money was placed in front of me. The young man wearing a leather jacket in the team raised the brand new book in his hand and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy it?"

If you buy a book for 200 pounds, unless you are crazy, the original price is only 15 pounds, and you can earn 185 pounds with a change of stock. Why not do it?

Not everyone can resist the temptation of money. Some of these 100 people who buy books may come to follow the trend. They may prefer science fiction and like it, but they just don’t like it very much.

It doesn’t seem particularly difficult to accept when seeing books one day later. With this £200 he can buy more books he wants!

After the transaction was successful, the black guy stood at the end of the team with the book. He happily kissed the cover of the book, "Baby, I finally got you."

Perhaps it was because he hadn't written so many words in a long time. After Lin Han finished writing these hundred books, his wrists became slightly sore. It was hard for him to imagine how the rest of the people signed hundreds or thousands of books.

The audience around them who were watching the excitement gradually dispersed. They had their own things to do, but the reporters found Lin Han again and wanted to interview him.

Most of these are Chinese media. Since many publishing groups in China have booths here, there are still many reporters coming. The hottest topic on the first day was Lin Han's classic book series that Feng Guang married into Penguin Publishing House.

Since they have the advantage of purely natural language, journalists will not let this advantage go, and some people have even started writing articles and sent them back to China to wait for review.

"Mr. Lin, as far as we know, this is your first novel. So what exactly made you think of writing science fiction?"

Lin Han looked at the Taiwan logo of Phoenix News in front of him, and he smiled and said, "Actually it's very simple. I have liked science fiction novels and animations since I was a child. Now I have the ability to write it myself, even if I realize a small dream. Of course, there are some realistic factors in it. At that time, I was tight and I happened to see the Galaxy Award essay contest when I was short of money, so I tried it."

Another reporter holding a recorder next to him asked, "Now you have created a few books, which one are you more satisfied with? If you can rewritten it, do you want to supplement or improve it?"

Starting from short stories, Lin Han's creation speed is much faster than that of a normal writer. He has written so many books quickly, from "Rural Teacher" to "I, Robot", to "Martian Rescue" and the last man on earth, an artificial beauty. He is relatively stable step by step with a solid foundation.

"I think every book has its own advantages, strengths, and their own shortcomings. I think every book needs to be perfected, but since a work has been written, it is something that belongs to the readers, so I don't plan to rewrite any book."

Chen Jiaxuan did not stop the reporters from acting. She liked to watch Lin Han talk loudly. She was obviously nervous before, but once she faced the reporter, she couldn't see it at all.

"According to the revelations online, Random House has also contacted you and wanted to publish this English version of the book. Then you issued royalties that were unacceptable to them, so they refused to cooperate and put you on the blacklist of never-cooperation?"

Lin Han didn't know where the news came from. Random House also had a booth on the London Book Fair, which was obviously contrary to the facts.

"Since it's an online revelation, why should I believe it? I'm very happy that Random House was the first to find us for negotiation, but the two parties have different ideas on many issues, so the transaction was not successful, so we might cooperate later."

Lin Han always keeps a front line in life. Of course, he can directly say that a manager in Random House China deliberately lowers the price. However, it has no other effect except to increase the news.

The other party would not ask the manager to resign because of this, nor would he sell a few more books because of this, and the relationship between the two parties would even be in a deadlock. Even if Random Bookstore was acquired by Penguin Publishing Group, it is still a giant in the international publishing industry. Even if Lin Han doesn't cooperate with them, he can't get into evil. What kind of tricks will happen.

Chinese journalists are getting aroused in interviews in Chinese, which makes it a pity for the reporter from the British Sun. This reporter finally got such an interview opportunity.

The Sun has very high sales and popularity, but the public has a bad impression of them. It is very unprofessional and neutral in reporting news. It often uses sensational methods to stimulate sales.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, we just interviewed Blair Buck, who won this year's Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award. The other party said he was a good example and was not worthy of joining the Penguin Classics. What do you want to say about this?"

"Who is Blair, is he very famous?"

Lin Han doesn't need to be polite to this person. If he has to explain any comment, he must have a few thousand mouths.
