Chapter 587 The world is so big

Lin Han sat in his study and was amused and laughed. More than an hour ago, Zhao Han told himself enthusiastically that the limited edition books had been sold out. As a result, when he returned home, he found that the official website of Renmin University Press had been hacked!

Now more than 120,000 people have lit up their hearts on the like pages created by hackers, proving that they really want to buy a book, and the specific number of people behind them is still soaring.

Others use crowdfunding and other things, but Lin Han’s readers are better off and they start to force the palace to the death.

They even shouted online, hoping that more people could join in so that they could also buy physical books for "The Matrix"!

"These people are really good at playing."

Lin Han chuckled twice, and he also liked it on it. I don’t know what scene would appear. It was obviously related to him, but he found it very interesting.

However, when it was interesting, I regretted my original decision. Lin Hanben thought that after there was a free genuine version on the Internet, these readers would not need physical books, but unexpectedly, there were so many people who wanted to buy one!

At the same time, the People's Congress Press was busy, and Zhao Han almost roared at the employees of his network technology department: "What are you doing? You have been hacked by hackers every time. Now several hours have passed, why haven't you returned to normal yet?"

A network security technician Deng Huahan said weakly: "Mr. Zhao, we have never attached too much importance to the official website, leaving too many loopholes. In addition, our technology and equipment are not up to standard, and the other party is a master, so there is no way out for the time being."

"When you were recruiting you, they were all very hyped. Now you say that your skills are not good. What are you doing? Do you play games here every day and make a living? Let me tell you, if you can't get the official website back to normal within an hour, you should pack up your things and leave!"

Zhao Han was so angry that he was obviously famous, but now he made his publishing house a laughing stock on the entire network. He originally wanted to compete for the position of general manager, but now he has caused such a big mess, and there will definitely be no chance of promotion.

Deng Huahan felt a little nervous. Such a good job is a once-in-a-lifetime job. He quickly replied: "Mr. Zhao, I will call our alumni immediately. They specialize in network security, but the charges are estimated to be relatively high."

"Anyway, it will be deducted from your salary. If it is not enough for a year, it will be deducted for two years." Zhao Han looked at Deng Huahan in a daze. This elm-head couldn't even understand what was joking, and he was also drunk!

He repeatedly told himself in his heart not to be angry, but now things have become like this, so it is better to make good use of it and turn the danger into a safe place.

Since Lin Han’s readers are all so enthusiastic, why don’t they meet their needs?

They want books, so they publish them. Anyway, they pay for the money, so their publishing house will make sure to make a profit!

After Zhao Han figured this out, he immediately said to his secretary: "Xiao Zhang, please make sure you make an estimate of how many copies we will print at a time if the Matrix is ​​going to be released in paperback. In addition, we also contact the printing factory we have worked with for a long time to see if they can let us go to the line and print this book as soon as possible."

The business of printing factories is generally arranged in chronological order. If it is not a particularly strong relationship, no one will risk offending the rest of the customers to make large publishers print in advance.

Xiao Zhang nodded repeatedly, and he replied, "I understand, Mr. Zhao, we decided to publish it, right?"

"This has to be discussed and discussed. You can get these preparations done first."

The current general manager is old and basically spends his life in the publishing house. He is only waiting for retirement in August, so many things are actually handled by Zhao Han, and he is missing only a title.

When he arrived at the general manager's office, Zhao Han knocked on the door lightly, and a loud voice sounded inside, "Please come in!"

Zhao Han pushed open the wooden door and saw that in the office full of Chinese style, the gray-haired old man was holding a cup of tea and looking at the book in front of him, looking full of the old-school Republic of China. This is Yi Xiuwen, general manager of Renmin University Press.

Yi Xiuwen took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he smiled and said, "It's Xiao Zhao. I heard that you are very angry today. It's better for young people to relieve the inflammation."

Zhao Han, who is over 40 years old, was just a young man in Yi Xiuwen's mouth. He grinned bitterly: "General Manager, it's not that I don't want to say it well, but that I really can't help. Before, many publishing house bosses envy us, but now they all laugh at each other, and they are simply laughing!"

"Don't you understand yet? They are jealous, jealous of us being able to sign Lin Han." Yi Xiuwen stood up from the chair, and he continued: "How many writers in the world can do it if they can make readers ask for books on their own initiative? Anyway, I have lived for decades and have never seen such a thing as readers forcing publishers."

The world is so big that it is full of wonders. The publishing house has always tried every means to plunder the money in readers' pockets. I have never heard of any publishing house that does not make money!

Zhao Han understood in a daze, "It just so happened that we can launch "The Matrix" through this attention, maybe the sales are not bad."

Yi Xiuwen never expected that he would meet Lin Han in the last few years of his career. Lin Han brought more income to Renmin University Publishing House alone than other authors combined!

...

Perhaps the hackers didn't want to make a fuss, or perhaps the helpers they hired were a bit powerful, in short, the farce finally ended at around 7 o'clock in the evening, and the official website of the Renmin University Press returned to normal.

However, before the recovery, the number of people who jointly liked and petitioned had exceeded 280,000. Among them, many people were probably curious about likes, but there were definitely many people who really wanted to buy "The Matrix"!

Lin Han also noticed the voices of the masses here, and he must be extremely supportive of the People's Congress Press' decision to work overtime to print. This matter could have been avoided, and all the problems lie with him.

A typical good intention to do bad things and want to increase the appeal with free novels, but I never expected that even if some people have free electronic versions to read, they cannot completely replace physical books!

So this also made many writers see hope. There has always been a tone for physical books to be finished. Now writers of Lin Han cannot let readers completely give up physical books. There is still hope in this market!

In order not to let the big publisher take the blame, Lin Han decided to tell the truth. After all, he discussed with Zhao Han directly to take the limited-quality route.

"Thanks to everyone's love, today's 20,000 novels were sold in one hour. However, when I was formulating the publishing route, I thought everyone could read free electronic versions on their mobile phones or computers, and they no longer needed physical books. Unexpectedly, I made such a mistake. In the next time, the publishing society will complete the proofreading, publishing and selling of the manuscripts as soon as possible. Please rest assured!"

If you have any mistakes, you have to admit it. Even if Lin Han is scolded, he will admit it.

But his fans cheered and celebrated. It turned out that the petition for thousands of people to liked and petition was really useful. Lin Han and the publishing house saw their calls.

"I wasn't happy if I didn't buy the limited edition, but it's good to have physical books. I always feel it's not very convenient to read books online, so I'd rather use the paper version!"

"Can you tell me a certain time? I'm ready to place an alarm clock."

"Oh, as long as you can, you're not wrong. Who made "The Matrix" so good!"

"Don't worry, Teacher Lin, we will definitely buy books and read them again. We will wait for your movie to be released and look forward to the best Neo!"

"So how are you going to compensate us? Write a new book to comfort our wounded hearts."

"Physical books will never disappear. I also read novels on my mobile phone, but sometimes I will buy books I like!"

After seeing the replies from these readers, Lin Han felt relaxed and happy. The full text of "The Matrix" has a total of more than 600,000 words, which is almost as many words as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Ordinary novels are usually 200,000 words per book, just like Lin Han’s previous novels, but now he and the publishing house are unwilling to cheat readers, so they simply put the 600,000 words in a book, a thick one!

According to the sample book produced by the publisher, "The Matrix" has a total of nearly 600 pages as a 32-page book, which uses the latest assembly line binding and will not drop the pages when you read it casually.

Their price for novels is very cheap. Such a thick book costs only 45 yuan. If you give a discount on activities in a bookstore or online bookstore, it will be even cheaper!

Nowadays, many bookstores have so-called membership cards, and no matter what book they are, they will be 20% off. This will make the discount very strong.

"The Matrix" has been completed long ago, so Lin Han doesn't need to worry about anything. The reason why the publisher has to wait for a while is to apply for a book number. It must be approved by the General Administration of Press and Publication before printing, otherwise it will not be available at all!

Fortunately, Lin Han’s reputation is big enough, and Renmin University Press has also used all the relationships to operate, so the approval speed should be very fast.

In this way, the paperback physical book of "The Matrix" can meet consumers as soon as half a month!

However, Lin Han doesn't want to watch the news or anything else now. In a few days, the actor's training will end. He has to enter the busy shooting, but these days cannot be wasted.

The crew's affairs have been almost ready. Lin Han only needs to go over and check the progress every day and ask about the models on the special effects company, so he has a lot of free time!

After he thought about it carefully, he simply spent the past few days to write the new book in his mind. If the plot remains unchanged, try what his typing limit is.
Chapter completed!
