Chapter 223 This book is poisonous
Fake?
It turned out to be fake!
The netizens who were still cursing loudly before were stunned. Didn’t they just scolded the wrong person?
People have not officially released it yet. I guess only a few areas opened sales when the data was found. This is why it was delayed and criticized. It seems a bit too early!
The media, who were still chattering, almost stopped at this time and quickly verified the relevant news to see if they had reported the fake news.
In the editorial department of Xiangjiang, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was furious and spitting everywhere!
"Are you all fools? You also report it, but you don't go to check the real situation. Now you are still going to check the real content, waiting for the lawyer's letter or the court's notice letter?"
"Why are you standing? Delete the post? Delete the content you posted before first."
"You must be trying to get angry, and you have recruited some people to work!"
Apple Daily employees hid their heads like ostrichs, fearing that they would burn the fire to themselves after the noise became big.
An employee deleted the content just now, and he felt that he was very unfair and usually forwarded other people's messages, but he didn't know that something happened this time.
At the same time, there are staff members checking sales statistics around the world. Now the American people are still sleeping, and the British people have not yet gotten up. Australia and New Zealand have preliminary data.
"The editor-in-chief seems to have made a mistake. "Sherlock" was officially launched on Amazon at midnight in the United States. It has sold almost 2,000 copies now. Australia and New Zealand have already made it to the new book sales list. The specific numbers have not been announced yet, but there are more than 415 copies anyway."
"Since you've made a mistake, then write down the real sales volume. It's impossible to clarify. Let's report on this incident again."
At most, the media admit defeat, but it is probably more difficult than anything else to write an apology letter.
Not only Apple Daily, but other newspapers and online media are also quickly verifying the situation, which has made many writers and critics who have appeared in person very embarrassed!
Isn't this a cheating teammate?
I wrote so much content with enthusiasm, either directly criticizing or sarcasticizing, but it turned out to be fake news.
Xu Yuan didn't know whether he should delete the Weibo account now, and he always felt his face was hot, and it hurts really when he slapped his face.
"It's all Zhang Chu's fault. If it weren't for him, would I have posted a message or a blog?"
Xu Yuan wrote this account in his heart, and the disgust in his heart became a little more.
Random Bookstore has a very efficient publishing experience, so Zhang Chucai gave them less than two months to the English version of "Detective Sherlock". As a result, most of the major English-speaking countries around the world have begun to distribute the goods.
As a place where physical book online shopping and e-book downloads has taken on a lot of attention, and the sales here are the overall feedback!
The French version of "Detective Sherlock" has not yet ended its translation. Zhang Chu saved Random Bookstore a lot of time in publishing English, so he could meet readers so quickly.
...
In London, the sky is drizzling and light rain is coming. For those who have lived in this city for a long time, an umbrella is something that must be carried.
Umbrellas of various colors were quickly supported on the streets and alleys. Andy Rogers tightened his windbreaker and walked forward helplessly.
Fortunately, the company is not far from the subway entrance, otherwise it would have been soaked. God knows where the umbrella in his briefcase went last night!
The orange lights were lit up at the coffee shop on the street. Andy, who had not eaten early in the morning, was soon attracted by the aroma of the coffee. He took a small step away from the puddle on the street, pushed open the door and walked in.
"A cup of latte, thank you."
"Okay, sir."
After ordering the order, Andy Rogers looked out the window and saw that the bookstore opposite the coffee shop had just opened, and a gray-haired elderly man was posting posters at the door.
It was a silhouette of a character wearing a gentleman's hat and a pipe in his mouth. Andy Rogers knew at a glance that it should be the image of Sherlock Holmes!
"Holmes has been republished?"
As an important role in the history of British literature, Sherlock Holmes's status in the minds of the British is even higher than that of 007.
The words "sherlock" on the poster verified Andy's conjecture. He was a fan of Sherlock's novels. He not only finished reading "The Complete Works of Sherlock's Detectives" over and over again, but also read all the official extras or fan works.
This summer, I also watched the movie "Detective Sherlock Holmes" with my friends, but the American flavor of Sherlock Holmes in this work is quite strong, which makes them all complain.
"Sir, your coffee is ready."
The waiter interrupted Andy's thoughts. After looking at the time on his watch, he didn't bother to go to the bookstore to buy books, and quickly headed towards the tall building not far away.
Somehow, the poster was deeply imprinted in his mind.
When the office director arrived at the seat before the meeting, Andy breathed a sigh of relief. If he was late, this bald old guy might have to take the opportunity to make trouble.
After all, it is difficult to find a job, and you don’t want to lose a job that is easy and has a considerable salary.
After listening to the speech in the crowd, Andy returned to the desk. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. He kept recalling the poster he had just seen through the coffee shop window in his head.
While no one was paying attention, he quickly opened Google search, entered the English of "Sherlock", and clicked the Enter key.
The first thing that came out was Sherlock Holmes' Wikipedia. Of course, there was nothing new about the content here. Andy looked down and found that a Amazon search result happened to have a reduced image of the poster!
"bingo! It's you."
When Andy opened the web page, he was surprised to find that the writer's name turned out to be the name of a Chinese, and the content introduction was quite familiar.
When Holmes in the 19th century returned to modern London, wasn’t this the novel he said in the news that he read half a year ago?
But I couldn’t find it at the beginning, but now I see it on the street.
It’s really a matter of planting flowers that don’t bloom, but it’s a matter of planting willows that make you look like a shade!
When the media reported on "Detective Sherlock", they directly used the free translation method, and there was no English version to search.
Now the official translation is consistent with the bbc TV series. Andy quickly logged into his Amazon account and placed an order to buy the physical book.
Then he thought about it again. It seemed that the express delivery would take several days to arrive. He wanted to see the content when he was having lunch, otherwise he would buy another electronic version?
Another voice in my head immediately sounded: OK OK, place an order now!
Chapter completed!
