It is reported that Su Xingchen suddenly appeared at the opening ceremony of Shangshi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. in the morning, and when asked by reporters about the rumors of his relationship with Huang Sanqian and Li Lishu, Su Xingchen's face changed greatly and refused to answer.

  This newspaper has taken wordplay to the extreme, with no clear definition throughout the article and no mention of any conflict between him and Huang Sanqian or Li Lishu. However, eight out of ten people who read this report will associate it with Su Rixing's feud with Huang Sanqian and Li Lishu. In other words, even if they are sued in court, the newspaper would still be in the clear.

  This is a play on words, Su Zhenchen indeed did not give a direct answer, and this newspaper simply omitted the reasons for Su Zhenchen's indirect answers, that's the so-called wisdom of journalists in legend.

  The debut of Xanadu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was very good, and Wang Ni naturally couldn't waste this opportunity, so she took advantage of the east wind to publish "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", but something unexpected happened to both Wang Ni and Su Xianchen.

  "The bookstores in the southern district of the capital all refused to purchase this book."

  "The people in charge of the northern district didn't give us any face at all, saying that it was absolutely impossible to sell 'The Collection of Sherlock Holmes' in their stores."

  "The newspaper and bookstore in the east of Yang City had a pretty good attitude at first, but as soon as they heard that we were selling 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection', their attitude immediately changed."

  "The people in the western district are the same, they say that the store does not collect books published by Xiangshi Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd." Wang Ni divided the city into four districts: east, south, west and north, and then assigned four editors to distribute the published "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" to various newspapers.

  Although Xanadu Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. has made a name for itself, and "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" is also very famous, it has not been tested by the market, so let the company's people send books to major bookstores and newsstands one by one, and wait for them to sell well, then these bookstores and newsstands will naturally come to buy books themselves.

  But this morning, editors from various bookstores and newspapers all replied that they didn't want them.

  It's just like this situation——

  "Lao Hei, this is a new book published by our company, how about it? Want two copies?"

  Lao He opened a medium-sized bookstore "Originally from a small river, how did he end up going to the company to be an editor?"

  "There's no other way, this is the only skill I have. If I don't work, I'll starve to death." Shu He was originally an editor at a publishing house, but due to low pay, Wang Ni poached him away. Wang Ni had good taste too, as Shu He knew many bookstore owners and was familiar with them, making it easier for her to talk to them.

  "What's this book? It can't be written by some new author, and then I buy it only to have it pile up in the warehouse." Old Hei asked skeptically.

  The bookstore business is also difficult to manage. Although the world's cultural industry is well-developed and has a strong awareness of protecting genuine products, books that are not good-looking will always be unsold.

  The process of publishing a book is like this: first the publisher or publishing company applies for an ISBN, then has it printed by a printing factory, and finally distributes it to various bookstores.

  The bookstore owner has to spend his own money to buy books, for example, buying one hundred or two hundred copies. If the book is popular and sells well, the store owner can earn a few dollars per copy, making it profitable. However, if the book doesn't sell well, it will just pile up in the warehouse, and the store owner's money will be wasted.

  So the bookstore owner is quite serious about book selection.

  "How could Old Hei not know that the author of this book is very famous in Yangcheng, and has been in the news for the past month or two? This book was serialized in newspapers before it was even published, and the response was extremely good. In other words, this book is definitely a bestseller. I'm giving you this first because we're quite familiar with each other, Old Hei - how many copies do you want?" Shu He's words were not unfounded.

  "Then thank you." Old Hei smiled and said "First, let's start with 200 copies. By the way, Xiao He, what is the name of this book?"

  "Of course, 'Sherlock Holmes' is a detective story. The author is the genius writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. How about it, Lao Hei? You must have heard of it."

  Shu He's words made Lao Hei's face change suddenly, and then he immediately changed his tone to ask, "Xiao He, the new company you joined won't be Shan Shi Cultural Broadcasting Co., Ltd. by any chance?"

  "Right, isn't our editor-in-chief the famous genius writer Su Shicun? How did you not see the report?" Shu He replied matter-of-factly.

  "That little river I don't want anymore, none of them at all." Getting Shu He's answer, Lao Hei suddenly changed his attitude.

  "Shu River's big hurry, two hundred copies of the hard-won performance, how can it fly away like this? The brilliance of 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' doesn't need me to say, when it was serialized in Yangcheng Daily, Yangcheng Daily saw a significant increase in sales, and purchasing is absolutely not going to lose money. Old Black, I wouldn't cheat you."

  No matter how Shu River said, Lao Hei just shook his head and refused to order a copy of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection".

  "Lao Hei, if you're afraid of losing money, then order a hundred copies, fifty will also do," Shu He said.

  "This time it was my fault, Xiao Hei. Next time I'll treat you to dinner. This 'Sherlock Holmes' collection is truly something I don't want at all." With that, Lao Hei returned to the store to attend to customers.

  "Dad, 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' my classmates and I have all read it, it's definitely going to be a bestseller, why didn't you order even one copy?" asked Heihei's daughter who was in middle school.

  "Never mind whether 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' is good or not, the key point is that the publisher, Xanadu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. has no background, and Xiao Hei estimates that they won't be able to sell a single copy today."

  It's just like Lao Hei said, Shu River sold "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" to some familiar bookstore owners, but they all seemed to have agreed beforehand and didn't order a single copy.

  It's not just Shu He's East District, the editors of the other three districts encountered similar scenes, which is why this happened this morning.

  This completely cut off the lifeline of Shanghai Release Cultural Communication Co., Ltd.

  Even if Wang Ni has now contacted the printing factory and public relations, and a series of things such as book numbers have been successfully completed, and even "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" has been printed, but without a distribution channel, everything done before is completely useless.

  "Xiao Chen, come to the company immediately, there's an urgent matter." Wang Ni dialed Su Xiao Chen's phone and hung up after saying one sentence.

  Su Xichen originally took a three-day leave, the first day off to rest, had dinner with Li Dongfang, Ma Jun and his parents. The second day morning attended the company's opening ceremony, in the afternoon was bothered by a group of reporters. Today is the third day, Su Xichen originally planned to take it easy for half a day, after all, he would be returning to the crew this afternoon, but just then Wang Ni suddenly called him.

  He didn't even have time to ask what happened before the phone hung up directly.

  Wang Ni's tone indeed sounded like something big had happened, so Su Xichen immediately got up and rushed to the company.

  Shan Release Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. Su Release walked straight to the general manager's office, during which company employees such as editors and others paid homage to Su Release, who is now the chief editor of Shan Release Cultural Communication Co., Ltd.

  "What exactly happened to Auntie?" Su Xichen asked straightforwardly.

  "Xiao Chen didn't sell a single copy of 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' today." Wang Ni's words suddenly made Su Rui Chen stunned, how could not a single one be sold?

  Is there really such a big difference between Eastern and Western cultures?

  Why is it that "The Sherlock Holmes Collection", which is so popular and classic in the West, can't even sell a single copy in China? The gap is just too frightening!!!

  Su Zhe woke up to find something was off, if it were just a cultural difference between East and West, then when serialized in Yangcheng Evening News, it wouldn't have caused such a stir, let alone increase the newspaper's sales by several percentage points.

  What's going on?

  Su Jingchen gazed at Wang Ni with a puzzled expression. "The 'Sherlock Holmes Collection' might have been banned."

  Shut down!

  As soon as he heard this word, Su Rui Chen's body tensed up, what was the situation with "sealed and killed"? His mind involuntarily thought of the first of the top ten divine beasts on the internet, the River Crab God. Could it be that it had been river-crabbed? It shouldn't be, after all, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was a foreign work, and there wasn't anything in its content that would warrant being river-crabbed!!!

  Was it not that in "The Bohemian Scandal" Holmes was a cocaine addict because of his manic-depressive illness? He alternated between weeks of using and weeks of abstinence, oscillating between the lethargy induced by the drug and the exuberant energy of his own temperament...

  As for why Holmes took it, first you have to understand what manic-depressive disorder is.

  Patients with (Bipolar Disorder) are energetic and can work continuously for several days and nights, extremely excited, and abnormally sensitive to sensory stimuli. However, in the following weeks, they will be in a low tide period, uninterested in anything, and even anorexic and motionless.

  This life without cases and passion would make Holmes extremely depressed, taking cocaine was necessary, he needed it to sustain his life, otherwise he might have killed himself due to excessive depression.

  Bipolar disorder is not fictional, the famous writer Ernest Hemingway suffered from this disease.

  When writing, Su Xilai had already considered this matter. After all, smoking opium in Huaxia is absolutely illegal, but it was precisely because of this that the character of Sherlock Holmes could be portrayed and shaped, so Su Xilai did not modify it and followed the original version.

  Is it just because this thing was river crabbed?

  Su's mind was filled with thoughts of various possibilities and reasons swirling around in her brain.

  "It was not because of the book that I was banned," said Wang Ni.

  It's not because the book is good. Su Xue took a breath of relief, but it wasn't because the content was censored, there must be some other reason.

  Just as I was about to ask what the reason was, my phone suddenly rang...

  Sorry about that. I was dragged to climb a mountain and pick mushrooms today, so I'm exhausted. That's why the update is late, sorry for keeping everyone waiting.
