Therefore, many newspaper offices tend to avoid offending each other for their own business considerations.

Kawata Keiji thought for a while, and then raised another doubt: "Is this going to be too much?"

No matter how you look at it, Hiroto Akihara has left Mandanshe after all, and has no business relationship with Mantanshe.As a result, Mantansha ignored this point and banned the writer who had left.

Isn't it afraid of chilling other writers?

"I think it's possible that some powerful person was offended," the man in the suit sighed. "In short, our "Chiba Daily News" is not big, so it's better not to get involved."

After saying this, he stood up, patted the shoulder of his always maverick subordinate, and pushed his chair away.

Kawada Keiji looked at the manuscript that was taken back on the table, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

As a literary critic, what he hates the most is outside interference with the purity of literature.

That's why when An Jiujin entrusted others to come to him for help, he said that if he didn't like it, he would write a bad review.

And it's the same now, the manuscript that I have worked so hard to produce for 2 days can't be published because of the unreasonable request of Mandanshe.

This makes him unacceptable!

He frowned, and made a call, "Hey, Gao Cun-san, I have a question, your "Inference Literature" does not accept business?"

"Oh, it depends on government and private funding, right? Don't accept advertising, right?"

"I want to send a manuscript, please here."

"Don't refuse yet, I'll come and tell you about the specific situation."

Putting down the microphone, Keiji Kawata spat hard.

Stupid Mantanshe, the more you don't let me post it, I want to post it!

[Chapter 125.125 Long time no see, book review]

Anjiu Bookstore, office on the second floor.

Hiroto Akihara sat on the sofa and listened to Goichi Akutsu's report on the latest sales figures of "Suspect X".

"Mr. Akihara, in addition to the additional 2300 copies sold at the signing, the average bookstore sales of "Suspect X" in the fourth and fifth weeks were 5000 and 5100 copies respectively. Compared with the data of the previous weeks, it is slightly has seen an increase."

An Jiujin hesitated and asked again, "Mr. Qiuyuan, have you found any way to help sell your works?"

Logically speaking, after the release of a new book, if there is no other special promotion (book review), the sales volume is usually the highest in the first week, and then slowly declines in the following weeks.

But this "Suspect X" has slowly increased from the 4000 copies released at the beginning to 5100 copies.No downward trend was observed at all.

Could it be that the effect of the signing event is so good?According to past experience, it is unlikely, right?

Akutsu Goichi was really a little confused.

Akihara Hiroto did not answer this question, but asked: "President Yasuhisa, how much stock do you have now?"

"There are only about 5 volumes." An Jiujin replied with a little excitement.

Judging from this trend, it will only take another week for the 1 copies of the first edition to be sold out, and a second reprint will be made!

Hiroto Akihara nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Did the book reviewer you entrusted get a reply?"

An Jiujin just didn't answer, but asked Satake Maki who was processing the manuscript.

"Satake, are there any recent book reviews on the Chiba Daily News column?"

When Satake Maki heard it, he raised his head and turned his chair around.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hiroto Akihara always felt that her eyes were evasive, something was wrong.

After Satake Maki turned around, he said to An Jiujin Goichi: "President An Jiu, I have been following the contents of the newspaper in recent days, but I have never seen any relevant book review reports."

"That's it," An Jiujin just sighed, then waved his hands, "Go on with your work."

"Yes," Satake Maki turned back and continued to work with his head down.

An Jiujin just lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Teacher Qiuyuan, let's see the situation as of this Friday. If there is no relevant book review, I will visit that teacher again."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, "Please."

In fact, he couldn't say anything, after all, he was the one who asked President An Jiu to seek help from others, so it's better not to talk too much about this matter.

In addition, Akihara Hiroto was also a little puzzled.

So far, "Suspect X" has sold more or less 2 copies. Has there been no book reviewer paying attention?It's too strange, right?

Just when he was confused, there was a rush of footsteps, and then the door opened with a "bang".

Hiroto Akihara looked up, and found that it was Sota Nishijima who was in charge of sales and promotion. The other party was holding a magazine in his hand, and panting to everyone in the office, he said, "President, Mr. Akihara, "The Suspect X" has a book review!"

Have a book review?

Akihara Hiroto was a little confused for a moment, but An Jiujin immediately stepped forward, took the magazine from Sota Nishijima, and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around, and Yasutsu Goichi turned the page to page 25 according to Nishijima Sota's prompt, and let everyone see this book review - ""The Perfect Deception?", author Keiji Kawada."

Hiroto Akihara suddenly regained his energy, and then read it carefully, and found that although the writing style of this book review was not particularly good, it was still okay.

It's not easy. After more than 2 months of release, I finally have the first book review.

But then again, why a magazine?

"Huh?" An Jiujin just showed a confused expression.

"Is there a problem?" Akihara Hiroto asked.

An Jiujin hesitated for a while, and replied: "This Mr. Kawata is the book reviewer I visited, but the platform for the other party's contributions should be "Chiba Daily News", right?"

After saying this, An Jiujin just turned over the magazine, and Akihara Hiroto saw the name of the magazine "Inference Literature."

Does this name look familiar?

Akihara Hiroto couldn't help recalling, and after a while, he suddenly remembered that the "ZOO" he wrote before was highly praised by a book reviewer named Takamura Katsumi in this magazine.

At that time, the other party even linked this work with the Buddhist endless hell.

Although Hiroto Akihara also wondered how the publication of the book review changed from the newspaper "Chiba Daily News" to the magazine "Inference Literature", but he was more concerned about the publication effect of this book review.

He turned his head and said to An Jiujin Gangyi: "President An Jiu, do you have "Publishing Statistics Weekly"? I want to check the sales volume of this magazine."

As soon as An Jiujin heard it, he answered "yes", and asked Satake Maki to run downstairs to get the book.
