015 The grand prize starts!
Mimari Yumasaki realized the seriousness of the matter. She originally thought that with the operations at the pre-match conference, these chain bookstores could be added to "Suzumiya".
“Where are the other books?”
The assistant held the document and said, "Misama Shin-Feng Mishima's "The Magician" 250,000 volumes, Teacher Fumimi Wakaku's "The Hunting Vampire", and the booksellers of Huaxiang Heya's "The Young Master of the Demon World" have earned a total of 400,000 volumes!"
Yu Zhengmiri pinched her eyebrows, "What else?"
The little assistant's voice became weak, "The newcomer's book is similar to that of Teacher Ye Xiao, but the book merchants have purchased 150,000 copies of the third novel recommended by the Matcha Library..."
"There must be a problem here!"
Mimari Yu keenly noticed something was wrong. She spent a lot of money on publicity. Even if the purchase volume of "Suzumiya" is not as good as the three old masters, it is impossible to be lower than the third book in Matcha Library!
The amount of advertising is not the same level.
So she called her cousin's phone number, and it was most appropriate to leave this kind of thing to Ryuto Toruhara.
At this time, Ryuto Pumahara had just left the hospital and was about to go to his own property to relax, but he received a request from his cousin.
When I heard that it was someone who was plotted against "Suzumiya", what's wrong?
Find someone to investigate immediately.
Soon, things came to light.
Rudo Pumahara told Yumamiri speechlessly: "A rumor circulated in the bookshop circle, and this rumor was spread from within the electric shock library."
The female editor was very puzzled, "What rumors can affect the purchase volume of Suzumiya!"
"...This rumor is outrageous. They actually said that you didn't sign a contract with Kazuya Huaka because you covet his handsome appearance and want to use this unspoken rule to him. He would rather die than obey him. This is why he changed to the more obedient young and handsome teacher Ye Xiao."
"Mirijie, your actions at the pre-match conference were also misinterpreted as showing off your financial resources to Hua Xiang Kazuya who was unable to get it!"
Yu Zheng Miri was so angry that she couldn't cry. What kind of rumor is this?
Just that greasy man, Hua Xiang Heya, can she fall in love with him?
"Can you find out who is spreading rumors in our library?"
Yu Zhengmiri actually had a vague object of doubt in her heart.
"It's not found yet, it takes some time."
"Then please continue to investigate. I have to do some remedies as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!"
Yu Zhengmiri hurriedly hung up the phone and took her assistant to build managers and presidents of the chain bookstores one by one.
Unfortunately, the power of rumors at this time was too powerful, and most bookstores declined her request.
After all, everyone has always been wondering why the Electric Shock Library suddenly gave up the masterpiece of a new writer and turned to praise an unknown newcomer.
This slightly peachy news is also a bit of itch in their tickling - after all, it is quite logical in addition to this reason.
Besides, this "insider news" was circulated from the electric shock library!
In the end, Higashino Bookstore entered another 50,000 copies from Mimamiri.
Its boss was once helped by the old president of the electric shock library at the time of his infancy, and did so to repay his favors.
The owner of Higashino Bookstore is a middle-aged and rich aunt. She said to Miri Yu, "Editor Yu, I know the difficulties of a woman in the workplace. This time I help you, I am actually helping myself when I was young."
Yu Zhengmiri was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly in her heart again. It turned out that this aunt was willing to help her, and there was such a reason for this.
"President Higashino, please rest assured that the sales of "Suzumiya" will definitely not disappoint you! You will come to me soon to enter more books!"
Aunt Higashino smiled and squeezed out an encouraging smile, "Come on, young man!"
...
On the day when the Laurel Awards began, the booths of major bookstores were filled with ten books participating in this competition.
Since it was on the weekend, it was very popular.
After all, there are three best-selling writers participating in this Laurel Awards. Although these three people are inevitably sarcastic in the industry, this is indeed good news for readers.
Early in the morning, the editor-in-chief of Matcha Library secretly came to the "Kyoto Bookstore", the largest bookstore in Tokyo, to investigate the market conditions on the spot.
This was his habit, but this time, he was particularly nervous.
A small part of these uneasiness comes from Kazuya Kazuya's "The Young Master of the Demon World", and most of them come from the newcomer Ye Xiao's "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".
As a professional who has been working in the novel industry for decades and has been in charge of top 3 library in the industry, he naturally knows the quality of "Suzumiya".
Unfortunately, because of his own slutty operations, he can only hope that his views are contrary to the market.
Soon, the first wave of guests came, a group of high school students who came together.
"Go away quickly, I'm here to watch "The Young Master of the Demon Realm". The old thief Hua Xiang Kazuya has many pits in "The Hunter of the Heavenly Realm". This new book is said to be its sister chapter. If I don't fill in the pit, I will definitely send him a blade!"
"I still like "The Magician". I have read so many novels. This is the first time I have seen this setting. The protagonist has no magic or fighting spirit. I really want to see how he used magic to kill dragons! Besides, this is Mishima's new style book, so he doesn't need to mention his writing style?"
"Oh, then I'll watch "The Hunted Vampire". Fumimi Firefly likes to write yellow things the most. It is said that the protagonist of this vampire has taken on a young girl! Vampire plus humans, it's really exciting to think about it!"
“…”
The group of readers who came by the point are basically fans of the great masters, and their purpose is very clear, so the works of the three great masters quickly became less visible at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Only "Suzumiya" was not attractive enough, but it didn't sell much in the morning, which opened a gap with the pioneers.
Fumiyaji, who had been slept in Kyoto Bookstore for a morning, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that this time, my judgment was wrong!"
The Western Fantasy Adventure novel by his acquaintance son Takuto Nime sold better than he thought because the booth was pretty good.
"It seems that I'm over-thinking."
In Fumiji's opinion, it should be no problem to win two rewards from Matcha Wenku, and he also delivered a good answer at this Laurel Awards.
After he left, a new group of readers flocked to the bookstore.
"Nani, no, I just slept for a while and why was the books almost sold out?"
Because it was meal time, the bookstore staff did not have time to go to the warehouse to restock the goods, so the books left on the bookshelf at this time were mainly Suzumiya.
"Is this book "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" also an adventure novel? The title doesn't look very good, but I've come here, so I can only read it."
"If it's really not good, I'll go have lunch and come over. The staff should have restocked the goods in the afternoon."
——A few minutes later, the boy was completely captured.
His young face was flushed, "Asakhina Shikuru...Is there really such a girl in this world?"
Chapter completed!
