Penguin Publishing Group's intention is to get the novel published before the interview with Lin Han in Time magazine is released. Time is very tight now, and Lin Han is almost working overtime to rush it!
"666, one of Teacher Lin's poems is so powerful. If you want to sell your house in the future, please ask Teacher Lin to write a poem!"
The temperature in the room was very comfortable. Although he wanted to go to the shadow of the balcony to play with his succulents, the bright sun told him how hot it was!
Lin Han took a sip of strong tea, then clicked to send the email, and handed the translated novel manuscript to Alex, hoping that he could put it into production as soon as possible.
He hadn't played a game for a long time. He logged into his Dota 2 account and matched up in the ladder. It was during working hours and there weren't many people playing games. Fortunately, he was matched quickly.
In order to avoid being scolded, Lin Han had to quit the game in tears. He used to be a good player in the game, but now his ability to replenish troops has dropped!
Because Lin Han's previous works were all sold individually, it was not until recently that Renmin University Publishing House re-edited them in hardcover and made them into a collection version of the complete set.
"What's the use of just writing a thank-you note? Why not do something practical. For example, give Teacher Lin a house or something?"
After finishing everything for the time being, Lin Han stood up again and did two chest expansion exercises in the study room, moving his arms and shoulders.
Money is not that easy to make. Billionaires sound very comfortable, but they also have to work hard. Getting something for nothing is too much to take for granted!
Looking from the window, the garden of the community was almost empty at this time, no one was passing by at all, and even the flowers, plants and trees looked a little downcast.
The most irritating thing is that Lin Han's own books often pull down his own books, giving free advantage to other writers. This is the most ridiculous thing. Publishing books too fast is not a good thing!
How much can five thousand sets of novels cost? These publicity expenses are not taken seriously by them at all. After all, they regard them as benefits paid to employees. These large real estate developers have hundreds of thousands of employees, and 5,000 novels can easily be digested.
In this screenshot, Lin Han saw a series of lists. Vanke, Evergrande, Wanda, Greenland, Longfor, China Resources, and Country Garden actually jointly sent a thank you letter to thank him for his contribution to the real estate industry!
Most netizens have no negative comments. It is Lin Han's ability to sell the villa!
The book market is changing rapidly. It is already a great honor to be ranked first in the weekly list, let alone to be ranked first in the monthly list. There are so many books on the shelves every day, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Now Lin Han didn't have time to pay attention to them. He was busy translating "Foundation", and then he had to edit it himself and submit it to the publishing house.
"There seems to be a swimming pool in our villa garden, right? Then we won't have to squeeze in with others."
Many people think this is just a coincidence. If you really have such strong purchasing power, why would you still be a writer? You might as well just go into sales.
"Upstairs, haven't you heard from the news that Mr. Lin's assets exceed 100 million? He doesn't care about such a house."
There is no airtight wall in the world. Those media reporters often lurked in the forums of the Hanlin Academy to steal news. Now they reposted the news in a very short time. They just regarded it as an anecdote and no one took it seriously. !
"I'm scared to death. Are there actually so many rich people lurking in our Hanlin Academy forum? I bought tens of millions of beachfront villas at once. I said they were from there, but they said the sales have doubled!"
The author of this post quickly posted a link to the news, "This is Vanke's official website. You can see it on the side by clicking on the homepage. I am not making this up. Teacher Lin has driven the development of GDP!"
Spending thousands of dollars to buy horse bones, they succeeded in doing this!
In addition to many plot discussion posts and voting comparison posts, as well as various popular science knowledge and even screenshots of foreign reviews of the novel, there is a post with the word "hot" that is quite eye-catching!
"Teacher Lin's advertisement is very exciting. Before, everyone said it was a poem expressing ambition, but now it seems that it is the most effective advertisement for selling houses! I don't know how much money Vanke Longhu paid."
"It turns out that it can still be played like this. The developer should pay some advertising fees to Lin Han. He has sold so many houses in vain!"
Not only every novel, but also "Artificial Beauty", "Country Teacher", and "The Wandering Earth" are also included in the same short story collection, which can be regarded as a comprehensive collection of Lin Han's works at this stage!
"I'm laughing so hard. Teacher Lin actually has such rich readers and fans, and a real estate company actually sent him a thank-you letter!"
Lin Han never thought he was that great. When he went to the official website and took a look, he found that it was actually an internal press release within the group, asking employees to learn the spirit of "Facing the Sea, Spring is Warm and Flowers are Blooming", and there were advanced housing sales figures. Come out and tell me how you successfully sold out the sea view villa.
What's more, these major companies then announced that they would purchase 5,000 sets of Lin Han's complete works to fill the company's employee library, as if they had made an appointment!
"To be honest, after reading that poem, I also wanted to buy a house, but I'm not at the beach. But I can't afford a house with a river view. Who can understand the pain of the poor!"
So after these big real estate developers spent money, the sales of the complete work immediately increased, ranking tenth on the weekly sales list for the first time in a month since its release!
There are many real estate developers, large and small, across the country. A small number of them, who have enjoyed Lin Han's influence, took action and pushed Lin Han's complete works onto the sales list this week!
Even if this peace is only temporary, Lin Han has achieved his goal. The attitude of the two sides is very clear. No one should involve himself. If you scold each other, just scold each other. Don't implicate the innocent people!
He continued to browse below and found that this was not his opinion alone. Many people thought that this was a picture photoshopped by the original poster himself!
This is also for the sake of my own work. Since I have the ability, I should do it myself, so that foreign readers can also see authentic science fiction novels.
"Sure enough, I usually have to play two games a day to maintain the feel, but now I am actually regarded as a rookie." Lin Han said as he opened the Hanlin Academy forum and browsed the posts there.
Only readers who have ample funds and are willing to spend money on it will buy it. After all, this set of books costs nearly two hundred yuan, so not everyone is willing to buy it!
"It's impossible to tell the difference between real news and fake news these days. Lin Han is probably a blind cat who met a dead mouse."
This is obviously not something Lin Han can take care of. Anyway, there are organizations such as the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Writers Association to worry about. He just needs to do his own thing well!
In the summer when the days are long and the nights are short, Lin Han has canceled almost all activities. He must do what he promised others, even if it makes himself a little more miserable and tired.
“If this news wasn’t published by the headlines, I would have thought it was the Onion Club or the Roadside Club!”
After almost relaxing his eyes, he returned to his chair again and began to slowly check the news of the past few days.
Vanke even announced that it will include Lin Han's novels in every community library it builds, which is almost an action to express its gratitude to Lin Han.
At least since Lin Han has written so many novels, "The Three-Body Problem" has dominated the weekly list for four weeks at most, but it has never topped the monthly list. Every second month, it will be pulled down by a new book!
After a temporary lull, the internal fighting in the literary world began again, but this time Lin Han was not mentioned again. Both sides had a tacit understanding to avoid this, but it was still excessive.
Fortunately, "Inception" occupies a time advantage, so its position at the top of the monthly list will hardly waver, but there will be a battle in the monthly list next month!
Currently ranked first on the weekly list is the book that conquered the Chinese female writers in the European and American literary circles, called "Silent Confession". It has already won the first place in the European and American book markets, and now it is also performing well in China.
The thought flashed through Lin Han's mind. These are famous developers, leading groups in the country. How would they actually send him a letter of thanks
Now every time Lin Han writes a novel, he has to translate it part-time. Although some translators are pretty good, the only one who can understand him best is himself. If someone else translates, something will be lost more or less!
"Why does it look so funny? Let me ask you again, wasn't this really photoshopped by the original poster?"
As soon as "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" came out, both sides of the literary world who were arguing fiercely stopped temporarily because of this. They kept using Lin Han as an argument to support their own views, but now they don't agree!
"This must be PS, right?"
In the past, when Lin Han sold books, he was actually increasing GDP. It took millions of books to be sold to be worth the price of a villa. Now, he has sold countless villas across the country, so it is naturally different to stimulate economic growth.
Without the addition of new content, most readers have purchased these articles piecemeal, so the complete collection of Lin Han's science fiction classics will suffer some losses in sales.
Whether it was everyone's well-intentioned ridicule or malicious sarcasm, Lin Han accepted it all, and there was no loss to him, no matter what the real estate developers thought.
"By the way, our boss is not a fan of Lin Han at all. After he accidentally saw the poem, he said he wanted to change his house. But I can't even afford the down payment in Shanghai. Comparing people with each other is so annoying!"
"2333, this is simply the number one candidate for the funniest news of the year. Take a screenshot and save it first!"
Of course, the most lively place must be the swimming pool in the community. Almost all men, women and children take a dip in the pool there to escape the heat. It is full of laughter and laughter!
However, he hunted geese all day long, and this time he was blinded by the geese. Lin Han's hands were a lot rusty, and the updated heroes were also difficult for him to master, so he accidentally got into a few tricks.
Lin Han said to himself, but he was curious about how many times he could use it. Maybe he would be too lazy to use it at all.
