Now Anjiu Bookstore has almost become a vassal of the Akihara Hiroto Foundation, and can only rely on the other party for business, so it is difficult for him to say anything against it.

Being able to say that only 3 copies of the first edition will be printed is only his rare and faithful advice.

After making a decision, An Jiujin immediately arranged for his subordinates to proofread the manuscript.

Soon, a week passed quickly.

During this period of time, "Snow Country" completed proofreading, plate making, cover design and many other tasks, and the rest is only channel sales.

However, in the channel distribution, "Snow Country" encountered an embarrassing situation.

Bookstore trial reading session.

As soon as An Jiujin looked at the many bookstore owners sitting in the audience, he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A bookstore owner wearing glasses held up a trial copy of "Snow Country" and said, "President Anjiu, you said this is Mr. Akihara's new work, but isn't this reasoning?"

Another person took up the conversation, "Yeah, if it's reasoning, we'll order it, but let's forget about traditional literature!"

"Yes, it will definitely not be sold."

"Who still reads traditional literature now?"

"President Anjiu, please persuade Mr. Qiuyuan well!"

"Let him not be idle!"

Faced with doubts from everyone, An Jiujin just wiped his sweat and persuaded loudly: "I hope you can take a look online and make a decision!"

While talking, he blamed Akihara Yuto again in his heart.

You said that if you are not a good reasoner, what kind of traditional literature are you doing, and I am not a human being inside and out.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and said in a blunt tone: "Sorry, on behalf of Shimoda Bookstore, I don't plan to order any copy!"

Just as An Jiujin panicked, he subconsciously looked at the other party and wondered if he had a grudge against him.

But after thinking about the other party's information for a while, he found that this was not the case.

Before that, the cooperation between myself and Shimoda Shoten was very pleasant, and Shimoda Shoten even ordered a large number of other works by Akihara Hiroto.

At this moment, the middle-aged man bowed deeply again, and continued: "President An Jiu, let me explain why I don't order."

"In the eyes of many readers, Hiroto Akihara has become the endorsement of high-quality reasoning. Under such circumstances, if a pure literary work is released, these readers are likely to buy this work as reasoning."

He became emotional, "But in my opinion, this is fraud! Fraud to readers! So sorry, I can't accept it!"

He knew that these words of his might offend Goichi Akutsu, but he himself is the manager of the bookstore after all, and he has the obligation to be responsible to the readers.

So he didn't even bother to order 50 copies, so he stood up and protested!

He bowed again, then turned and opened the door and walked out.

When he walked out the door, he said again: "If possible, I suggest Hiroto Akihara to use other pen names to create pure literature works! This is the responsibility to the readers!"

After he left, some other bookstore owners also stood up one after another, announcing their departure.

Looking at the few bookstore owners on the field, An Jiujin gave a rare wry smile...

[Chapter 268.267 Simple and Effective Method]

"Is that what the manager of Shimoda Bookstore said?"

Akihara Yuto raised his head and asked An Jiujin, who was standing in front of him, who smiled wryly and just nodded.

In the 5 minutes just now, Akutsu Goichi has told Akihara Yuto all the ins and outs, including the statement of "fraud" to the readers.

Akihara Yuuto had a headache, he didn't expect to say that...

Some traditional neon store managers are often very stubborn and believe that their profession is "sacred".

Once they have established a statement, they are often not easy to change.

It is often very difficult to convince them.

However, Hiroto Akihara had no intention of accepting the suggestion of changing his pseudonym from the very beginning.

In the previous life, some writers really liked to use different pen names for different works.

For example, Yiyi, in addition to the name "Yiyi", also used the names Nakata Eiichi and Yamashira Asako.

Especially the last name, even some readers who don't know why think he is a female author.

However, the reason why he uses multiple pseudonyms is to try different styles of works.

When it came to reprinting later, some books were even changed back to the original name "Yiyi".

The reason is because this pseudonym is the most famous and best-selling book.

In addition to Yiyi, Lu Xun also used 140 pen names, such as "Brother Xun, Fengsheng, Zungu, Baren, a certain student, child, Xuezhi, Zishu, Gengchen, Suozi, Suoshi, Shuren." , Ling Fei" and so on.

But these pseudonyms of his are often related to the times.

After all, warlords were rampant in that era. If some articles offended the warlords, they would often lead to death.

In Akihara Yuto's view, he just used a pseudonym to publish "pure literature", so it would be too much to be considered a fraud!

He pondered for a while, and suddenly realized a possibility.

"President Anjiu, please bring me a book."

"now!?"

Ajiujin was a little puzzled at first, but still ordered his subordinates to go to the warehouse, fetched a cup of new books that had been printed and sealed, and handed them over to Akihara Yuto.

Hiroto Akihara lowered his head and began to look at his new book.

The outer packaging of the book is very simple, except for a snowy cover, there are only the words "Snow Country" and "Akihara Yuto".

But on the outermost layer, there is still a layer of "transparent packaging bag"!

Seeing this packaging bag, Akihara Hiroto was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly realized.

Yes, monographs are not the same as periodicals.

If some bookstores don't have trial books, readers will have no choice but to open the transparent packaging bag when buying books!

This also means that they may buy a book and take it home to open it, only to realize that this work is a pure literary work!Instead of reasoning!
