As Hiroto Akihara expected, the book "Train" was successfully shortlisted for the Uemura Award and published by major newspapers.

However, unlike the last shortlist, although the public expressed their admiration for the Uemura Award this time, the degree of amazement is far less than before.

After all, in the past year, Hiroto Akihara has frequently appeared in newspaper news, which has already made people feel a little tired.

And in the circle of reasoning fans, the sales of his works have proved his status.

In fact, when many people think of reasoning now, they subconsciously think of the name Akihara Yuto.

So when seeing this news, a small number of uninformed people were still puzzled.

Hiroto Akihara hasn't won the Uemura Prize yet?

In addition to the general public, many book reviewers even believed that he would directly receive the Uemura Award.

After all, the few works that were also shortlisted were far inferior to Hiroto Akihara's "Train" in terms of word-of-mouth and sales.

But for some people, this thing is very bad.

……

Jing Fanshe, Business Intelligence Department.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Reiko Reiko frowned into the word "Chuan" and crumpled the newspaper with her hands.

She couldn't understand why Akihara Hiroto was so productive? !

Generally speaking, even the best writers release 1-2 works a year, and not all of them are necessarily hits.

But Hiroto Akihara has completely broken this common sense. In the past two years since his debut, the number of works he has written is equivalent to the accumulation of other writers for more than ten years.

Not only that, each of his works can be sold well.

You know, a book with an annual sales volume of more than 50 copies can support a medium-sized publishing house.

And Hiroto Akihara has written countless books in the past two years, and even occupied half of the reasoning publishing market.

Today, the other party is only one step away from the Uemura Award, the highest award in the field of reasoning literature.

However, if nothing else, this award will still fall on his head.

At that point, it is estimated that there will be another blockbuster work!

Seeing the expression on the boss's face, Daisan Kakino, who is a subordinate, said, "Specialist, regarding the Uemura Award, can we, Kefansha, promote this award to be awarded to our own works? For example, by buying the judges?"

From Kakino Daisan's point of view, the Uemura Award is a human-selected award after all, as long as Jingfan Club promotes it, maybe it can change the opinions of the judges.

"Stop talking stupid things."

Reiko Minome put down the newspaper, and looked at her subordinate with disdain, suspecting that his brain had been kicked by a donkey.

She continued: "Buying the judges?! What do you buy? If you can afford it, how much do you need to spend? Do you think those old guys really only want money?"

As a member of the publishing house, she knew very well the temperament of some writers.

For those old writers, fame and the prosperity of the genre are what they pursue.

And if you use money to bribe others, you might even spit on your face.

Seeing Kakino Daisan's disapproving expression, Reiko Hoshime became even more annoyed.

"We are not the only publishers who are staring at Uemura Shang. If we do this, we will give excuses to the other three publishers of Kejiaoguan. Once it is exposed, it will be a huge news scandal!"

After a pause, she said again: "Have you forgotten the "Tokyo Literature" incident of Toei's back then?"

After listening to the reprimand, Kakino Daisan broke out in a cold sweat subconsciously.

At the beginning, "Weekly Bunshun" broke the news about the ghostwriting incident of "Tokyo Literature", which caused the magazine's sales to plummet, and even the TV series with the cooperation were cut off.

As the publisher, Toeisha had to adjust the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of "Tokyo Literature" in order to apologize to the people.

If Jing Fanshe really bought the Uemura Award judges and was exposed, it might end worse than them.

"I was wrong!" Kakino Daisan lowered his head.

Reiko Shome sighed, and asked, "Do you have any information about the personnel assigned to the Tsutaya Bookstore?"

Daisan Kakino nodded, then took out a document and handed it to Reiko Hosome. After the latter took it, he explained it.

"Tsutaya Bookstore Publishing House seems to be planning to open a chain of second-hand bookstores?"

Reiko was stunned, second-hand bookstore, what is this?

The publishing houses publish first-hand books, which have nothing to do with second-hand bookstores.

And now that the two major dealers are reducing purchases, Hiroto Akihara should also find a way to contact other small and medium dealers or do direct sales.

I was worried for a long time, but the other party was actually doing such an idle business as a second-hand bookstore.

For a moment, she even suspected that Yuuto Akihara wanted to be soft.

Kakino Daisan looked at his boss's face, and found that it was blue and white, so he said: "According to the people we arranged to go in, TSUTAYA BOOKS has provided two plans,

One is to directly participate in training and be dispatched to other places to become a bookstore clerk under its banner, with an annual salary of about 350 million yen.

The second is to prove that you have a certain experience in bookstore management, you can get a low-interest loan of 500 million yen, and become the manager of a cooperative franchise store. "

"That's all?"

Reiko Hoshime asked.

She still couldn't figure out what Akihara Yuto was thinking.

Could it be that he wants to participate because he is optimistic about the future of the second-hand book market?

"Yes, that's all," Kakino Daisan nodded.

"However, there is another thing, that is, the two distributors reported to us that they encountered some problems when purchasing the book "Train."

"question?"

Kakino Daisan replied: "Yes, in the first ten days of November, the stocks brought in by the two distributors were almost cleared out, but when they ordered from Tsutaya Bookstore, they were told that each store could only order 11 Thousands of volumes."

Hearing this, Reiko Thame's first reaction was that something was wrong.

Although only giving [-] copies to each of the two companies sounds like "revenge", but in reality, it is harmful to the publishing house itself.

After all, the purchase channels of most bookstores can only be dealers. If they can’t get the goods, they can only sell other works.
