Chapter 504 Direct and rude publicity methods (second more)
"Received, received."

Yang Xiao's excited voice came from the phone, and Yu Dong replied with a smile: "Just receive it."

Today, the mailbox of Deep Space Company was officially opened. After Yang Xiao registered the mailbox, he called Yu Dongfei and asked him to send an email to try it out.

"Actually, it's the same if you ask Lao Tan and the others to register an email address and send you an email."

Yang Xiao said with a smile: "How can it be the same? Lao Tan and the others are too close to me, and there is no such surprise feeling of super-long-distance communication. Besides, I asked you, the first user of 163 mailbox, to send me Emails have face, don’t they?”

"Let me tell you, this is the first email from my mailbox."

"That would be even better." Yang Xiao smiled, and said, "It's a pity that this time it's not your new book manuscript."

Listening to Yang Xiao's urging, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mailbox will receive a lot of manuscripts soon. Basically, the writers signed by our deep space have registered their mailboxes, and neither Secretary Hu nor Da Liu have any manuscripts. Exception, I believe they will send you the manuscript soon."

"Then I'll wait and see. Let's not talk about it. You can use email to contact me in the future."

"OK, bye."

Yu Dong hung up the phone, then ran to the study to check his mailbox interface.

I have to say that this interface is really ugly, but it is better than simplicity, and you can send emails as soon as you enter.

The name 163 was created by Yu Dong, who registered the domain name before Ding Lei.At first, Yu Dong also thought about using the acronym sq for deep space as the domain name and suffix, but after thinking about it, he still thinks 163 is easy to use.

In China, these three numbers are closely tied to the Internet. When people see the number 163, they think of going online, just like when they see 110, they think of the police, and when they see 120, they think of an ambulance.

Therefore, using this number as a domain name and suffix has a natural advantage.

"Hey, there's a new email?"

Yu Dong refreshed the page and found a new email, so he clicked on it, and when he saw the content, he couldn't help but patted the table.

Then he rushed to the door again and shouted in the direction of Bi Feiyu's house: "Old Bi, is there something wrong with you?"

Bi Feiyu came out of the door and replied: "Haha, I'll try it, you receive emails pretty fast."

"There's money to burn."

Yu Dong shook his head, and was about to go back, when Mo Yan's voice came again, "Yu Yuanwai, go back and check, did you receive the email I sent you?"

……

Yu Dong really couldn't figure out that Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Bi Feiyu, and Hu Changqing were able to send emails to each other for an entire afternoon in the same school or even in the same building.

And the emails they send are completely unrefined.

Yu Hua texted Mo Yan "Have you eaten?" Mo Yan replied "Not yet", and then asked "Have you eaten?" Yu Hua replied "No".

With the current network dial-up speed and the time it takes for them to type and send, sending an email is not as fast as going out and shouting.

……

Although Yu Hua and the others are purely for fun after registering their mailboxes, for the majority of netizens, the appearance of 163 mailboxes has a different meaning.

On Deep Space Chinese Online, everyone has been discussing mailboxes since the morning.

Fatty Lizhuzhu: [I just registered an email address, the address is xxxxx, has anyone exchanged emails with me? 】

Xiaoyao Sanren: [I'm also registering, but I keep getting disconnected, it's annoying. 】

Princess Yueshi: [Just wait a little longer. 】

Ronald Shao: [I heard that the first person to register after the opening was Teacher Yu Dong, is it true? 】

Jin Kefan: [It's true, the official notice was issued, but it didn't mention Teacher Yu Dong's email address. 】

Faulkner: 【Of course it can't be announced. If it is announced, Mr. Yu Dong's mailbox will explode. 】

Liu Jinfa: [If I enter an address randomly, will it be able to be sent successfully? 】

Jin Kefan: [If this address is valid, it is possible. 】

Liu Jinfa: [Does that mean that you can find pen pals randomly? 】

Faulkner: [Theoretically so. 】

Chen Mobai: [It's good for everyone to chat on the website, why do you have to use email? 】

Little Ronald: [What do you know, one-to-one mailboxes are interesting, and you can send more things, not just text. 】

Chen Mobai: [I heard that this year, Deep Space will release an instant messaging software, which is used for chatting. 】

Jin Kefan: [I've also heard about it, and I'm looking forward to it. 】

Young Master Ronald: [Princess Yueshi, my email address is xxxx, please send me a photo, I will see if you are male or female. 】

Princess Yuezhi: 【Sorry, I don’t have a digital camera or electronic pictures. 】

Jin Kefan: [You are stupid, even if she sends it, she can send it to you from someone else. 】

……

The emergence of mailboxes has brought the Internet into the sight of more people. Compared with netizens who eat melons, magazines like "Science Fiction World" need the functions displayed by mailboxes more practically.

With the mailbox, it is easier for authors to submit manuscripts, and it is more convenient for magazine manuscripts, and the speed of reply becomes faster.

Therefore, after the 163 mailbox came out, many magazines registered immediately, and at the same time announced their email addresses for authors to submit manuscripts.

This also reflects the influence of Deep Space Company in China. If it is a mailbox issued by another company, these magazines will definitely have concerns when using it, worrying about problems such as losing manuscripts and stealing manuscripts, but because it is Deep Space If it is issued by the company, everyone's doubts will be much less.

……

Just when people were discussing the 163 mailbox, Shenkong Chinese website suddenly sent another message: Yu Dong's new work "Old Book" will be released soon.

Netizens were not surprised when they saw this news. After all, compared to mailboxes, it is quite normal for Deep Space Chinese Network to send an advertisement to its own "top brand".

However, everyone soon discovered that something was different this time.

This message was posted on the homepage of the Deep Space Chinese website, and it has not been removed for several days, and it has always been these words, and it has not been said when the new work will be released.

Agatha: [Is this message always hanging up?It doesn't say exactly when it will come out. 】

Chen Mobai: [If you hang it up, hang it up, can't you promote the novel of your boss? 】

Jin Kefan: [The key is that it feels a little strange. Since the release date has not yet been set, it should take a long time to come out. It doesn't look like the style of deep space to start publicity so early. 】

Niu Niu: [Indeed, and this promotion is too simple, just such a line, hanging on the front page every day. 】

Liu Jinfa: [You guys think too much, anyway, I have been looking forward to Teacher Yu's book. 】

Young Ronald: [What are you expecting, we don't even know what the subject of this book is now. 】

Little Flying Cat 001: [I have a feeling somewhere that this book is different. 】

Fatty who is everywhere: [Haha, the goal of deep space has been achieved, they just want you to think so. 】

Liu Jinfa: [Perhaps, is it really different? 】

……

Whether the new book is different, you don't know, but you have seen the promotional strength of the new book.

In the first few days, the homepage of the website was hung with "Yu Dong's new work "Old Book" will be released soon", and after a week, this line of words changed to "Yu Dong's new work "Old Book" will be released globally simultaneously".

People have speculated about what kind of book this is, and why the Deep Space Company will give such a publicity this time.

Not only ordinary netizens were curious, but even those magazines that had worked with Yu Dong called Yu Dong one after another to ask what kind of book "Old Book" was.

Yang Xiao was the first to call, and after hearing Yu Dong say it wasn't science fiction, he didn't say anything else.Afterwards, Li Xiaolin and Su Tong also called one after another. Su Tong was easy to deal with. After all, he was a senior. Yu Dong briefly explained a few words, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Li Xiaolin was different. She seemed to have noticed something, and kept asking if the manuscript could be used by "Harvest". After learning that Shen Kong had made a plan, she asked Yu Dong if he could show her the manuscript.

"Yu Dong, don't worry. Now that you have decided to release it globally, I don't beg you to give us the manuscript. I am just curious about what kind of book this is. Yesterday I chatted with my father When I was talking about your book, he also said that he was very interested."

Li Xiaolin spoke very sincerely, and brought Ba Jin out again, but Yu Dong couldn't resist, so he sent the manuscript.

Unexpectedly, after Li Xiaolin got the manuscript and read it, he called back and complained to Yu Dongde for more than half an hour.

"Such a good manuscript, why don't you want to point to "Harvest"?"

"Is it that "Harvest" can no longer enter your eyes outside the members?"

"At the end of last year, I asked you if you had any manuscripts, and you told me no... Okay, okay, even if it was written later, why don't you remember that I asked you about the manuscripts?"

"Okay, forget it this time, but next time you have a manuscript, you must show it to me."

"No, I have to call Yu Hua and the others. These guys don't know how to tip me off."

……

After finally dealing with Li Xiaolin, Yu Dong sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Li Xiaolin complained a lot, but after learning about the plan of Deep Space, she didn't force it anymore. She also knew that it would be more conducive to the promotion of this book than to distribute it to "Harvest" and release it directly worldwide.

No matter what, she also wanted authors like Yu Dong to have a good development, which was also the purpose of the founding of "Harvest".

……

Deep Space's promotion of "Old Book" is of course not limited to China. In the United States, they also started their propaganda work very early.

The most outrageous thing is that the Amazon website has put up the pre-sale information of "Old Books" early in the morning.

It is also the first time that netizens have seen Amazon release the pre-sale information of a new book in such a strong manner, and even the pre-sale of the new book started without the price and specific release date.
