It's just that he didn't expect that the other party would choose to speak out at this time today.

Hiroto Akihara looked around the audience and found that everyone was looking at him expectantly, even the members of the jury beside him.So he coughed lightly and continued.

"To commemorate my indissoluble bond with the city of Dublin, I decided to recite a poem I had written before. Its name is "The Road Not Taken""

In full view, he read aloud.

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and it is a pity that I cannot go both at the same junction, I stood long at that junction,

I looked as far as I could towards one road until it disappeared into the depths of the jungle, but I chose another road, which was grassy and lonely, more attractive and more beautiful

Although there are very few traveler's footprints left on these two paths, even though the ground was covered with fallen leaves that morning, neither path was polluted by footprints

Oh, leave a path and see you someday

But I know the path goes on and on and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back

Somewhere, ages and ages from now, I'll be looking back with a sigh

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by,

Since then, the path of my life has been determined. "

Then Hiroto Akihara read the last sentence, and he also took off the microphone, and at this point, the audience fell silent.

It wasn't until 3 minutes later that the applause sounded slowly, but the applause was getting louder and gradually deafening.

After reading the poem, Hiroto Akihara bowed to the court again, and then gave his acceptance speech.

According to the usual practice, this kind of acceptance speech often tells about one's own life experience, how it is linked to literature, and how to observe literature through life.

Akihara Hiroto didn't have any other thoughts, so he continued following this routine.

When he said that he grew up in an orphanage and repeatedly failed to find a job in Tokyo, some audience members, especially female audiences, couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy.

But after hearing that he succeeded step by step through the publication of works later, there was another huge applause from the audience, and the speech had to be interrupted several times.

This speech was not finished until it took more than 15 minutes longer than the scheduled time.

Hiroto Akihara looked at the medal in his hand and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The end of the award ceremony means that his trip to Ireland has also come to an end.

However, taking this opportunity, he successfully got acquainted with some old writers in the European literary circle, paving the way for the future.

After returning to Tokyo, he started his own follow-up plan.

From the point of view of book publishing, Jing Fan Society can no longer cause him too many problems, and he only needs to follow the steps.

With this in mind, he started to work hard.

With the honor of the Dublin Literary Award, he mortgaged the copyright of "Snow Country" to the bank and obtained a huge loan of 12 billion yen.

Immediately afterwards, he cooperated with three large film companies and invested a total of 25 billion yen to start the filming of "The Sinking of Japan".

Half a year later, "The Sinking of Japan" was finally released.

On the day of the release, the venue was full, breaking the first-day box office record in the history of neon movies, and creating an astonishing achievement for future generations.

At the same time, "The Sinking of Japan", which he published under his English pen name, also appeared in the publication market and began to sell well.

In the following year, the book sold almost 400 million copies, setting a sales record for Japanese science fiction books.

Relying on the huge amount of funds returned, Akihara Hiroto, together with Tsutaya Bookstore, began to look at the existing writers under Xiangjing Fanshe.

Under the matchmaking of the Mystery Writers Association, he successfully obtained the copyright of a number of works with "sincerity (higher royalties)".

By 95, the market share of TSUTAYA BOOKS in reasoning booklets had completely accounted for as much as 8%.

However, in this year, the head of the Science Fiction Club revealed that the author of "The Sinking of Japan" was Hiroto Akihara (after all, it was originally an English name).

This caused an uproar again from the outside world.

A writer who writes reasoning actually writes science fiction, and he can write so well!

Hiroto Akihara ignored the interviews from the outside world, but continued to advance his plan and opened more chain bookstores—including first-hand and second-hand bookstores.

By 96, the total number of TSUTAYA bookstores in the country had exceeded 500 and continued to increase.

In the face of potential channel threats, the two distributors, Dongban and Nihonban, began to exaggerate the "Tsutaya Threat Theory" to other bookstores, asking them not to order books provided by Tsutaya Bookstore Publishing House.

Faced with coercion, Hiroto Akihara continued to use the method of free and large-scale supply of books on the one hand, and on the other hand united other small and medium-sized local distributors.

All of these dealers are also happy to work with Hiroto Akihara because of the availability of specific offers of books.

In the middle of 96, the dealer alliance organized by Toban, Nihon, and Akihara Yuto divided the Japanese publication market into three.

Facing the growing power of TSUTAYA BOOKS, under the impetus of Jingfanshe, Mandanshe, Kejiaoguan, and Toeisha established a mutual aid alliance.

Use various forms to boycott the publication of books by TSUTAYA BOOKS.

When Hiroto Akihara saw this, he completely gave up the little friendship he had with the Kejiaokan, and started his own reasoning journal.

While recruiting many writers, he also published "None Survived", "Prison Gate Island", "Y's Tragedy" and many other works, successfully reaching the second place in the industry.

Not only that, he also cooperated with Tokyo TV to create the "Tokyo Boys Detective" series recreated based on Kindaichi and Conan's material series.

After this work was released in 97, because it successfully attracted the youth market, it defeated the series of "Furuhata Ren Saburo" and successfully ranked first in the ratings.

So far, whether it is the reasoning booklet or the reasoning magazine market, Tsutaya Bookstore can be called a complete overlord.

After that, Tsutaya Bookstore launched multiple attacks.

In the love market, "Love Letter", "Norwegian Forest", "Paradise Lost", "Tokyo Love Story" and other works were launched.

Among them, "Love Letter" and "Tokyo Love Story", because of the unforgettable love, countless girls and housewives are fascinated, and they are deeply infatuated with Akihara Hiroto.

After the film and television, these two films have even gone out of Japan and sold well throughout Asia.

In addition, "Norwegian Wood" deeply shocked many book reviewers because of its profound thinking about life and death.

With the recommendation of a large number of book reviewers, this book easily ushered in a hit and aroused heated discussions among the public.

This incident was later called the "Akihara Hiroto Phenomenon".

It is also because of the admiration for Hiroto Akihara that many lovers gave up the publishing house they originally cooperated with and joined the camp of Tsutaya Bookstore one after another.

In 98, Tsutaya Bookstore officially entered the two major mobile phone markets.
