After all, there is no mention of "pure literature" or "traditional literature" on the cover!

After seeing the reason, Akihara Hiroto's expression relaxed.

At this point, he already knows how to avoid misunderstandings by readers without changing the "pen name"!

"Teacher Akihara?"

As soon as An Jujin asked suspiciously, he noticed that Akihara Hiroto's expression changed back and forth as he looked at the book in his hand.

Akihara Yuto put down the book, raised his head to meet Yakutsu Goichi's gaze, and said seriously: "President Yasuhisa, please postpone the release date, and then change the cover."

"Change the cover?" An Jiujin just became confused.

He didn't understand what it meant at this time. After all, this cover was designed by a famous artist, and it was recognized by Akihara Yuto before.

"That's right, I hope to add a line of 'Pure Literature' on the basis of the original cover, and mark it in a specific color."

After seeing the words of pure literature, if some readers think it is reasoning and buy it home, then it is not their own problem!

An Jiujin just showed a wry smile: "Mr. Qiuyuan, almost [-] copies have been printed, are you sure you want to do this?"

Replacing the cover sounds simple, but in fact it must be manually operated to remove the cover of each book and replace it with a new cover.

This will cause complaints from the printing house.

Hiroto Akihara waved his hand and said directly: "There is no problem, just say that we will ask them to print the books in the future."

He didn't take it seriously, let alone think that the printing house would refuse.

After all, the economic crisis is still brewing, and the publishing industry as a whole is sluggish. These printing houses are very happy when they have work.

And as Party A, I naturally have the right to ask them to do more work, at worst, pay for their hard work.

Seeing Akihara Hiroto's determination, Akutsu Goichi could only accept it.

"By the way, how much inventory is booked for this trial reading session?" Hiroto Akihara asked another question.

An Jiujin hesitated for a moment, and reported a number.

"Five million copies."

Hearing this number, Hiroto Akihara was a little surprised, he thought there might not even be 1 copies!

But when he thought about it again, he realized that he might be different.

There are bookstores that consider the interests of readers like Shimoda Bookstore, so naturally there are bookstores that only care about profits and ignore readers!

After all, I have a lot of fame now, and I can attract many readers by stacking books on the booth.

In the face of such interests, many bookstore managers may still choose to order.

After all, even if they find that they bought the wrong book, these readers will often only scold themselves, not the bookstore!

Thinking about it this way, I still have to thank the owner of Shimoda Bookstore for this "kind" reminder to me!

However, I still have to find a way to spread the channels of books!

After thinking about it for a while, Akihara Hiroto made a request.

"President Anjiu, after the cover is changed, please send our batch of 5 books to Shimoda Bookstore without prepayment. As for the bookstores that have already received prepayment, please return them first. "

But after hearing Akihara Yuto's request, An Jiujin was shocked!

No advance payment, what an operation!

The current practice of the Neon Bookstore is to collect the advance payment before releasing the book.If the books cannot be sold, the advance payment will be returned to the bookstore, and the books that cannot be sold will be recycled.

Akihara Hiroto looked at Akutsu Goichi's expression, and had no intention of explaining it.

For me, "money" is secondary and "name" is primary.

And this operation is also normal.

At present, it seems a bit ahead of schedule, but in the future, as the book market gets worse and worse, many publishing houses will also implement it.

After all, if no advance payment is charged, there will be no financial pressure on the bookstore, so they will naturally accept it enthusiastically!

After all, the big deal is to use some inventory and manpower!

In short, there is no need to worry about the first edition of 5 volumes!

All that's left is to "build momentum" for this book!

With influence, the public is bound to pay attention.

At that time, no matter how much the traditional literary world resists itself, it must come out and say a few words!

And my other goal, at this time, I have to implement it well!

[Chapter 269.268 depends on who wrote it]

9 a.m., Setagaya Ward, Shimoda Bookstore,

"Don't you want to pay in advance for this batch of books?"

Takeda Masaaki showed a surprised expression when he heard this statement.

Last week, at the trial reading meeting organized by Goichi Akutsu, he stated that he did not plan to order any of Akihara Hiroto's works.

But unexpectedly, the other party immediately sent another batch of books, and they didn't want my advance payment.

"Yes, that's what President Anjiu said. If there is no problem, please sign the receipt of the 500 copies."

The little brother wearing a peaked cap said politely, and then handed over the manifest.

Takeda Masaaki hesitated, signed and handed it to him.

After the little brother left, he looked at the stack of books on the ground, took a utility knife, and began to unpack the paper packaging.

After taking it apart and seeing the ready-made book, he was a little surprised to find that it was completely different from what he had seen in the last trial reading session.

On the cover this time, the words "pure literary works" are specially noted, so that all readers can see the specific problems at a glance.

Seeing this, he was completely convinced.

Although Hiroto Akihara did not change his pseudonym, doing this would not be considered a fraud to the readers.

"Miyako, Shimadzu, the two of you come to move the books, literature and art book area."

Under his urging, two female employees in bookstore uniforms soon ran over and pushed the books to the literature and art area with a cart.
