Clicking on the last of the three options 【Buy this book】, the popped-up webpage looks as formal as it can be.

  Everything is complete, but the price option is empty.

  "Hey, how's it going? The webpage design isn't bad, right? It doesn't lose face for the official 'Sherlock Holmes' website."

  "It looks extremely good, completely shocking me" Su Xichen typed back.

  "Right, you should have clicked on the 'Buy this book' option by now. Currently, this website supports Kbao online payment. In a moment, you will send me the account number of Xian Shi Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd., and I will set it as the receiving account. Then, you can set the price to whatever is suitable for you, and tell me to fill it in."

  Indeed very thoughtful, and can make the website support online banking and Kbao payment in such a short period of time, this energy is not small.

  "Auntie, what do you think of this website? Can we sell directly on it?"

  Wang Ni took over the mouse and reviewed the website, whether it was running in the background or on the server, everything was very fast, and finally nodded in agreement.

  Suddenly, Anyang Jun sent another message on the screen, and when I opened it, it was a good news.

  "Since your company can't even break through the blockade of a municipal-level publishing house, I believe you will be very unfamiliar with logistics as well, right?" The tone of An Yang Jun's words made the municipal publishing house sound like a small and insignificant company.

  Su released his gaze towards Wang Ni, and Wang Ni pursed her lips and shook her head.

  "Yes, the company has built many new things but they are not enough, and there is no familiar person in the logistics section."

  "I know the boss of a logistics company, since it's online direct sales of books, so we have to face readers from all over the world, therefore the chosen logistics company must cover a wide area, the logistics company I know covers quite widely and can almost meet the standard of online direct sales of books."

  "I'll give you his phone number later, and you can say I introduced him from Anyang. Whatever you discuss is up to you, just make sure you don't get taken advantage of, and don't be shy."

  "Thank you." Su thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say. A thousand words were reduced to the simplest two words. Lord Anyang had indeed helped him greatly.

  "Don't mention thanks, I'll help you only if 'Sherlock Holmes' is good-looking. If it's not good-looking, even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't care about you, that's the kind of person I am. So no need to say thanks, the relationship between author and reader can't be maintained by just one word 'thanks'."

  "An Yang Jun sent a message saying 'Hurry up and discuss the price, I will post it online once it's confirmed.'"

  "Okay, see you later"

  "Auntie, what price is suitable for booking online?"

  "Twenty-five yuan", this is the price Wang Ni thought about again and again.

  "The Sherlock Holmes series, which has been serialized on top of Yangcheng, has already produced two medium-length works "The Four Signatures" and "A Study in Scarlet", as well as 23 short stories. This time the company is publishing a collection of these 23 short stories, while the two medium-length works can be re-published separately into two more books, that is to say, according to the current serialized content, it's enough to publish three books."

  Wang Ni asked: "Xiao Chen, how long are you planning to write about 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'?"

  "Write for a lifetime, just like some reasoners, complete a series in a lifetime."

  As a die-hard fan of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", Wang Shan naturally wanted the book to be as long and wordy as possible.

  Conan Doyle indeed spent his whole life forging a detective just as Wang Shan said.

  A detective can spend his whole life writing and still only create one famous, impressive detective character.

  In fact, the detective characters that can be remembered for thousands of years and are still being read with relish by readers after decades or even centuries are not many. Apart from Sherlock Holmes, there were only a few people on earth before Su Yue's previous life, including Auguste Dupin, a French nobleman, Maurice Leblanc, a knight-robber who was also a detective, and of course, the most famous detective since Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, etc.

  From the first detective story "A Study in Scarlet" in 1887 to the last work of the new exploration series in 1927, Conan Doyle spent forty years portraying the country's most famous detective Sherlock Holmes.

  According to Russell Miller's "The Adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle: A Biography", it is revealed that as early as 1893, Holmes had the idea of ending his writing career because it took up too much of his time.

  "I wanted to kill off Holmes and be done with it."

  Then Conan Doyle paid off in action, and in 1893 published "The Final Problem" where Holmes and Professor Moriarty had a confrontation at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Holmes said those classic words: If I could destroy you, for the sake of society, even if it means going down with you, I would be willing to do so.

  It was after this sentence that Holmes and Professor Moriarty plunged into the waterfall, and when this article was published, it caused a huge stir, with many readers objecting, and more than 20,000 people unsubscribing from the publication of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".

  Conan Doyle wrote the fifth collection, His Last Bow, and Holmes officially returned in the story "The Empty House".

  Su Zhe thought for a moment that if he published this article "The Last Case" in Yangcheng Daily, would the same situation occur?

  The Sherlock Holmes canon consists of eight volumes, in chronological order: The first volume "A Study in Scarlet", the second volume "The Sign of Four", the third volume "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", the fourth volume "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", other short stories including "The Hound of the Baskervilles", the fifth volume "His Last Bow", the sixth volume "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" and the last volume is a collection of miscellaneous works mainly describing the later life of Holmes.

  Conan Doyle died in 1930, three years after finishing the seventh series "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes", at the age of seventy-one. So it is not an exaggeration to say that Conan Doyle spent his whole life portraying Sherlock Holmes.

  However, he is standing on the shoulders of a giant like Conan Doyle and won't take 40 years to complete it. In response to Wang Ni's question, Su Rui Chen thought for a moment before answering: "My original plan was to write four novellas, two are already completed and there are still two more. As for short stories, there is no specific number, but it should exceed 50 pieces and be less than 60 pieces, won't take too long."

  If Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's memory serves him correctly, there should be fifty-six short stories in "The Complete Sherlock Holmes".

  "Ah, how can this be? Su Tiancai, you should write at least a dozen or twenty novellas, and short stories, at the very least, one or two hundred!" Wang Shanjiao hummed.

  Su Shuo's cold sweat flowed freely as he thought about writing twenty medium-length stories and a hundred or two short ones. How was this possible?

  "Hmm" Wang Ni actually didn't have any opinion.

  "It's suitable to set the price at twenty-five yuan."

  The first volume of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Series" published by Xanadu Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. is priced at 28 yuan on the book cover, but this price is a suggested retail price for bookstores and newsstands.

  In fact, the price at which Baitong Bookstore purchases books from Xiangshu Cultural Dissemination Co., Ltd. is only 22 yuan, meaning that for each book sold, the bookstore can make a pure profit of 6 yuan.

  But online it's priced at twenty-five yuan, which seems like the publishing company is losing money. However, based on the price they give to bookstores, the publishing company actually makes an extra three yuan by cutting out the bookstore middleman.

  Books sold online are cheaper than those in bookstores for this reason.

  This way, the extra three yuan for each book can be used as shipping fee, and after calculation, selling directly online not only doesn't lose money but also gains more.

  Su Zhe sent the quote to An Yang Jun, and soon after, the price of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" appeared on the website.

  Then also reported the card number of Xian Shi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. to Anyang Jun.

  "There's also a call for the company to send over a few managers, after all, now that we're doing direct sales on the website, it's more reassuring to have someone from the company keeping an eye on things. And now that the site has grown so big, I alone can't manage it anymore. Of course, I won't be giving up my position as webmaster, haha." said An Yang Jun.

  According to Anyang Jun's level of local tyrant, setting up a website would casually cost tens of millions, most importantly, it's free, and the money from selling "Sherlock Holmes" is not even worth looking at.

  A copy of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" costs only 25 yuan, and even if it sells 1 million copies, it would be just over 20 million yuan, which is less than what Anyang spent on building this website, so both Wang Ni and Su Xichen are relatively at ease about this.

  Wang Ni immediately dispatched company personnel to occupy the website, with Anyang Jun as the stationmaster, but the deputy stationmaster was a company employee, and the moderators of the three sections were all company employees. Most importantly, Anyang Jun handed over the rights to the book sales section entirely.

  Then he sent the logistics company boss's phone number to Su Shicong. This kind of thing naturally didn't require Su Shicong to take action himself.

  Wang Ni made a phone call and as soon as she mentioned that it was Anyang who introduced her, the other party's attitude completely changed and became very polite.

  To know that the other party is Fangtong Logistics, although Fangtong Logistics can't be considered one of the largest logistics companies in the country, it's still a top-notch company with extensive coverage. The boss of such a large company actually lowered his attitude so much after hearing An Yang's name, which speaks volumes about An Yang's background.

  It seems that Anyang Jun is not just a simple nouveau riche, but also has a very powerful background.

  Wang Ni and Fang Tong Logistics' boss had a confrontation and finally reached an agreement.

  There is naturally Fangtong logistics in Yicheng, and online direct sales naturally require filling out a shipping address, just like buying things on Taobao, you need to fill out the shipping address.

  And after statistics, it naturally comes from Yangcheng's Fangtong logistics, as for the price, it should be very satisfactory, otherwise Wang Ni's mouth would not have shown that kind of smile, although it disappeared in an instant.

  "No problem anymore, I will open the website on time at 19:30." - An Yang Jun sent a message.

  "Alright, it's settled then." At 19:30 tonight, the Holmes Forum officially begins operation.

  Su Release Morning is also one of the website administrators now, and his account has such a logo [Author of this book, Website Certified]

  As soon as this website is opened, a warning message appears: [This site has been authorized by the original author and publisher, and is listed as the official website of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection". It is forbidden to spread content about this book on this site. Please support genuine versions and purchase from Xianyi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. Piracy will be prosecuted!!]

  Su Release stared at the purchase information, and said that the sales volume was really good, with over a hundred people purchasing through the website in less than half an hour.

  Wang Ni naturally couldn't just sit and wait for death, so she mobilized her connections and spread the news that "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes Cases" would be published online.

  The millions spent by Anyang Lord were not in vain, as he allied with numerous hot forums and appeared on many website navigation bars, the term "Folmo Forum" brought a significant amount of traffic to the site.

  Of course, this is not the biggest killer move of Anyang Jun. The biggest killer move that Anyang Jun has come up with is to spend money to buy off the country's largest search engine. As long as there are users searching for keywords such as reasoning, suspense, etc. on the search engine, the first result will be [Folmo Forum].

  This method is extremely effective, causing the traffic of the Holmes forum to increase fivefold in just one day compared to before the upgrade.

  Witnessing the effect, half a day's work, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was sold out 30,000 copies on the website, this is an incredible achievement!!

  Congratulations to Chasing Memories and Thoughts for becoming the first patron of this book. Originally, there would be an update today, but some unexpected things happened this afternoon, so I'll make up for it tomorrow with four updates.

  The first alliance leader added two more, and the thick cat is on its way!!

  It's also surprisingly delightful, I didn't expect that the book written by Little Cat would have a mastermind, and from now on, every time a new mastermind is added, there will be an additional update without any limit, hehe, but who knows if there will be more masterminds in the future, anyway, that's all for now.

  Hand over the three rivers ticket!!!!!
