And as time goes by, the readers themselves will lose interest in the book.

"Do you have any opinions on Tokyo Sales and Neon Sales?" Reiko Hozome asked, looking at her subordinates.

Daisan Kakino shook his head, "They think that Tsutaya Bookstore wants to make this book a limited edition, so they are deliberately reducing the number of editions."

Hearing this explanation, Reiko Hosome thought about it.

Some writers and publishers do make limited editions or collector's editions for special reasons (such as commemorative significance).

But Hiroto Akihara never seemed to have done this since his debut.

But it’s hard to say, maybe he believes that he will definitely win the Uemura Award, so he wants to make a limited edition as a commemoration?

So I really think too much.

The more Reiko thought about it, the more puzzled she became, her brows were even more crowded together.

Damn it, what exactly does Yuuto Akihara want to do?

[314.3 Chapter Thirteen Dublin Literary Prize]

Hiroto Akihara is not clear about Jingfanshe's scruples.

And even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

After all, everything he is doing now is based on the conspiracy of successful business cases in his previous life, so he doesn't think that other people can see anything,

And the most important thing is that the funds are all in place one after another.

At the beginning of December, "Memories of Murder" was officially released, and the final box office of this movie reached about 12 billion yen, much more than the expected 52 billion yen.

As an investor, Hiroto Akihara managed to get one-third of the box office proceeds, which was 17 billion yen.

However, this money has not yet been warmed up, and together with the sales payment for the third quarter, it was transferred to the account of the Tsutaya Bookstore to support the development of the chain of second-hand bookstores.

Because of the success at the box office, Takuto Utsumi and many actors have also gained a lot of benefits.

Needless to say, Takuto Utsumi, as the director, had made low-budget R-rated violent movies before, and the investors suffered heavy losses due to the poor box office.

But because of the soaring box office of "Memories of Murder", many film companies have taken a fancy to him and sent him invitations, hoping that he can direct the filming of the film.

As the leading actor, Kotaro Hiraoka also reaped a lot of benefits.

Because of his appearance and age, the best roles he received were the second and third roles in TV dramas, and these TV dramas were basically not popular TV dramas.

But because of his "excellent performance" in the movie, some big production crews extended an olive branch and invited him to audition for the male lead.

Many other actors who participated in the show, although the benefits are not so great, but after gaining exposure, they all got rid of their status as third-rate actors and took a step forward in the entertainment industry.

……

Tokyo, Minato, Akihara Yuu family.

He sat on the sofa, looked at the latest financial statement, and frowned subconsciously.

Because of the dealer's "small actions", starting from the fourth quarter, the sales volume of the publishing house outside Tokyo began to decline further.

At the same time, Jingfanshe has further occupied a considerable market share by virtue of a series of publicity and "price reduction offensive".

"Akihara, there is still a large surplus in the funds in the account," Asano Aiko looked at Akihara Hiroto's frown and actively persuaded.

In her opinion, it is not easy for TSUTAYA BOOKS to do this under the pressure of Jingfanshe, one of the four major publishing houses.

If it was any other small publishing house, it would probably have collapsed long ago.

Akihara Hiroto glanced at her and found that her face was full of worried expressions, knowing that she wanted to comfort him, so he said with a smile.

"Asano, I'm not worried about the publisher's problems, I'm just thinking about how to completely defeat Jing Fanshe."

Asano Aiko was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that Akihara Yuto was joking.

After all, although Jingfanshe is ranked at the bottom of the four major publishing houses, it is still a giant.

Although sales in the field of reasoning publishing have not been good in the past two years, they also have a large market share in other publishing fields, such as girls' magazines, romance books, comic magazines, and so on.

And if Tsutaya Bookstore can maintain its market share in reasoning and publishing in the future, it will already be a great success.

She thought about it, and joked with a smile: "Then what do you want to do?"

Akihara Yuto also saw that she didn't care, so he didn't intend to explain, but just answered a few words casually.

In his opinion, Jing Fanshe is now following the path of the former Jiaochuan Bookstore.

And as long as I am ahead of it and occupy all its paths (such as light and other fields), it will undoubtedly be considered a success.

At that point, with the sluggishness of the traditional publishing industry, Jingfanshe may have to abandon a lot of bad assets.

However, the explosive development of light has to wait for a while. I still need to specialize in the field of reasoning first, and achieve No. 1 in this field before thinking about other things.

While the two were talking, the doorbell rang.

Hiroto Akihara opened the door and found Maki Satake standing outside the door.

But when she saw Akihara Yuto and Asano Aiko alone, she had an unhappy expression on her face.

But this expression disappeared in a flash, so Akihara Yuto didn't notice it, and just asked: "Satake, what's the matter?"

Satake came back to his senses, raised his head with a smile and said, "Akihara, your work has been nominated!"

"Nominated? Uemura Prize?" Hiroto Akihara gave her a puzzled look.

It's been a week since this happened, Satake Maki should have known about it a long time ago.

"No," Maki Satake took out a fax and handed it to Hiroto Akihara, "It's a document from the Dublin City Government, saying that "Snow Country" was nominated for the Dublin Literary Award."

Hearing this, Akihara Hiroto was a little surprised.

The Dublin Literary Prize, sponsored by the Dublin City Government, is the world's highest prize money literary prize, and the winners can get 10 euros.

Although this amount of money is not worth much to Akihara Yuto, the significance of it cannot be underestimated.

This means that his efforts in traditional literature have finally paid off, and he has begun to move from domestic to international.

"However, I remember that the overseas sales of "Snow Country" don't seem to be doing well, so why was it shortlisted?" Hiroto Akihara asked this question.

Generally speaking, due to the different nature of literature, the traditional literature of Neon is difficult to enjoy in the European and American markets.

After all, the "sorrow" and "beauty" in it can only be understood by the East Asian cultural circle.
