I became popular on the stage

Chapter 360 Are you kidding me?All sold out? (Third update, please subscribe)
Because he works at Random House, Doc has read a lot of science fiction before.

For example, he has read all the popular works such as "Mysterious Man" and "Abyss Steel" recently, and his evaluation is only two words: moderate.

Not novel, not ugly.

This is also the feedback from many readers after he has done a lot of investigation this time.Therefore, Doc agrees with the readers: many ideas in the science fiction world have already been written. If there is no big explosion in science and technology, maybe the science fiction masters will no longer be able to create amazing works. A situation of lack of inspiration.

Therefore, after seeing the reactions of those students just now, Doc couldn't understand.

"Could it be that this "Three-Body Problem" has written something novel?"

He opened the book with curiosity.

At the beginning, the plot was a bit boring.It made Doc feel a bit boring, especially the different cultural background, which made it difficult for him to experience it personally when reading this novel.

"That's it?"

Doc was even more confused. Can such a sci-fi novel be better than "Mysterious Man"?
Although he felt that "Mysterious Man" was not very good compared to previous Hugo Award works.But it is much more exciting than the "Three-Body Problem" in front of me.

It was because of a trace of curiosity that prompted Doc to continue watching.

Until he turned to Chapter 3 and saw this sentence: Physics has never existed, and it will not exist in the future...

In an instant, Doc's heart seemed to be hit by something, and a rare seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Then the seriousness in his eyes became more and more intense, and various complicated expressions appeared on his face from time to time.

The existence of Trisolaran civilization.

The special trisolaran civilization evolution brought about by the irregular movement of the three suns.

The exposure of the earth's coordinates completely changed the future destiny.

The basic science of human beings is locked up by super technology.

The huge Trisolaran fleet began to invade the earth.

"God!"

"Is there such a brain hole?"

"It's incredible."

"My God!"

Doc didn't know how many times he exclaimed.

It wasn't until a big bearded man slapped him hard, scolding him for being too loud and disturbing others, that Doc woke up from his obsession.

Glancing at his watch, he was startled. He had unknowingly read novels in the bookstore for more than three hours!

"Fortunately, no one supervises my work!"

Doc secretly got lucky, and put "Three-Body Problem" in his arms like a treasure, planning to buy it when he got off work, and then went home to continue reading.Then, his eyes subconsciously passed over the place where "Three-Body Problem" was originally placed.

"empty?"

I saw that there were more than ten copies of "Three-Body" in there, but now they are empty.

Doc found a staff member in the store: "Hey, beauty, I have to remind you that one of your books is out of stock, please replenish it from the warehouse as soon as possible."

The staff looked at Doke's fingers, spread his hands and said: "Sorry, sir. This book is out of stock, and the book in your hand is the last one in stock in the store. I think if you want to buy it, sir, you can still buy it." Please settle the payment as soon as possible. Because several customers have already asked us whether this book is still on sale."

"out of stock?"

Doc was taken aback.

The staff curled their lips: "That's right. I really can't understand how popular this Chinese science fiction novel is. In just half a day, the twenty copies in our store were sold out. There are even customers who bought it and turned back. Call us to order more. But what makes me even more incomprehensible is that I just called the supplier, and they said that this book is out of stock. I just bought twenty copies. Said it was out of stock? Oh, God! What's the matter!"

Listen to the complaints of the beautiful employees in front of you.

Doc was stunned at first, and then turmoil surged in his heart.

suddenly.

He seemed to remember something, flipped open the book in his hand, and looked at the author's name of the "Three-Body Problem" for the first time.

Fenglin!

Doc noticed the author of "The Three-Body Problem" for the first time, but soon his heart was shocked.

Fenglin?

Isn't this person the Chinese sci-fi artist who wrote "The Wandering Earth" not long ago and was given a place by the judges of the World Science Fiction Convention?At the beginning, the media reported that he disdain to accept the handouts from the judges, so he angrily gave up his qualifications and withdrew from the selection of this World Science Fiction Convention.At that time, it was ridiculed by the international media for a long time.

But now this author actually wrote "The Three-Body Problem"?
God!

Doc couldn't help trembling. A sci-fi writer who can write sci-fi at the level in front of him is said to be able to give away only one qualification for the World Science Fiction Convention?

Something big is about to happen.

His lips were trembling, and he was about to make a call.

However, just as he took out his cell phone, the phone rang in advance.

……

……

Bertelsmann Group.

Marcus, who had just returned to his company, Random House, was about to hold a regular meeting, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. He saw Vice President Wen En walking towards him aggressively across the corridor.

Marcus frowned slightly, but hadn't spoken yet.

Then Wen En yelled sharply: "Marcus, I heard that you used your personal power without authorization to make Random House spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to publish books in violation of regulations?"

Marcus said lightly: "Winn, where did I break the rules?"

Wen En sneered: "You haven't violated the rules yet? Let me ask, what is the prospect of a Chinese science fiction author's work? You even set its priority to the highest, making several departments of Random House busy for nearly One month. However, after everyone worked so hard, what they got in the end was only [-] copies of this book printed! Haha, [-] copies are ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is that none of the [-] copies have been sold now. Get out. Marcus, you still don't admit that this is a serious violation?"

Marcus said calmly: "Wen, business operations are not just about making money. Sometimes connections are far more important than small money. This time I just made a small operation, and I accepted a favor from Reps, and He also won the favor of Lin Xuan, a music master in a distant oriental country. This alone is far more important than tens of millions of wealth. If you don’t understand, I suggest you go to Huaxia for further studies and learn the ways of the world in that oriental country.”

"Haha! Sophisticated?"

Wen En laughed loudly, "It's useless for you to quibble. Look at the outside world now. I don't know how many people are laughing at our Random House for printing a waste product, mocking us for being bewitched by the Orientals. You made Random House Your reputation has been greatly damaged, your reputation has been damaged, and your direct and indirect losses may be as high as millions of euros. You just wait, I will severely impeach you at the next board meeting! You should not be allowed to sit in this position!"

"Okay! I'll wait!"

Marcus sneered, and walked directly into the office area of ​​Random House.

The Random House workspace at the moment.

Everyone is working hard.

Wen En followed in, pointed at the hundreds of people working, and then stared into Marcus' eyes: "Look for yourself, how hard our employees work and how hard-working they are. But you, relying on you The privilege of letting them translate, print, and deploy a piece of oriental rubbish works is consuming new employees and the company's reputation, which is..."

His voice did not fall.

Suddenly beside him.

The phone of an employee in the marketing department suddenly rang.

Marcus and Winn immediately shot their gazes over.

Facing the sharp eyes of the two presidents of the group, the employee's palms were sweating, and he picked up the phone nervously: "Hello, Random House."

They couldn't hear the voice on the phone.

However, a few seconds later, the employee suddenly exclaimed: "What? Sold out? Urgent transfer, ok... ok... please wait a moment, let me check the inventory... By the way, what you said What kind of novel? "The Three-Body Problem"?...Okay, don't worry, please believe in the strength of our Random House, we definitely have enough inventory, and we will soon be able to get suppliers to send enough supplies to you Go. Um... found it, the inventory of "Three-Body" is...is...is...zero?"

clack.

The employee panicked and dropped the phone in his hand.

Yet he hadn't had time to stand up and apologize.

On the desk next to it, the hurried bell rang again.

Another employee reflexively picked up the phone with a loud voice: "The Three-Body Problem is out of stock? Okay, I'll transfer the supply right away... How much do you need? One hundred copies, right?...Okay, I'm here Bian... Falk... Ah no, no, sorry, I'm not scolding you, but I'm out of stock for "The Three-Body Problem". Damn it, there will be a day when our Random House will run out of stock? Research by the marketing department Do the staff eat shit?"

The man's scolding has not stopped.

bell bell~~~
bell bell~~~
bell bell~~~
As if the phone call just now was the fuse, the entire office area was ringing with phone calls one after another.

"What? The Three-Body Problem is out of stock again?"

"Sold out in just one day?"

"Okay, okay, we'll transfer the goods right away... Uh, no, we're out of stock."

"Sorry, we'll take care of that right away."

"Sorry, please be patient."

"Sorry, we didn't think carefully."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"..."

I don't know how many calls made the originally quiet office area suddenly become noisy.

A few minutes later, a manager of the channel department ran over anxiously, with a complicated tone: "Mr. Marcus, Mr. Wen En, it's an emergency. Just now more than [-] bookstores around the world have called, and almost all channels of "Three-Body Problem" They are all sold out, and they are all rushing to rush the shipment. But all of the "Three-Body Problem" here has only printed [-] copies, and the backstage inventory is zero. Please make up your mind as soon as possible, what should we do next? "

"..."

Although the two presidents had already guessed the cause of the matter during the phone call just now, after hearing what the manager said, even Marcus looked dull.

Especially Wen En almost jumped up: "Are you kidding me? They're all sold out?"

　I'm a little uncomfortable, it's only three o'clock today.
