"Aurora Brain still hasn't let go?"

Youlong Culture, Yin Bole narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to have encountered an extremely puzzling problem.

Ye Hongli, a red-haired man, lowered his head and played with his mobile phone and said absently: "There are two possibilities. One is that the copyright of "Sherlock Holmes" has been cut off by other domestic publishers, and the other is that they think the price we offered is not enough. ”

Although the other party seemed absent-minded, Yin Bole knew that Ye Hongli's analysis was actually very objective.

He gently rubbed the corner of the table with his fingers and frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be censored. Domestic publishing houses don't have the courage to steal the copyright of this book without anyone noticing, and the price we gave It is already the highest in the country. I can’t think of any company in China that is more determined to win than our Youlong Culture. I will continue to send people to contact you tonight. "Sherlock Holmes" must belong to Youlong Culture!"

Ye Hongli hummed and continued to play with his mobile phone.

As Hua Qi said, there are many publishers who want the publishing rights of "Sherlock Holmes" to Dragon Kingdom!

A newly born company like Youlong Culture is even more eager to win this "Sherlock Holmes" because this new publishing house has enough scale and funds. What it needs most now is a real masterpiece. To prop up their facade, otherwise they wouldn’t have taken such pains to promote Gu Miao’s “Nine-Five Lords”. They wanted “Nine-Five Lords” to dominate the market, in order to prove the terrifying strength of their publishing house. .

It's a pity that although their strength has always been good, they have never dominated the market.

On the other hand, the other top twenty publishing houses in the country all have at least a few masterpieces to support their success.

For example, Luoyang's Shuimu Culture, whether it is the previously sensational science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" or the current martial arts TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", are the kind of masterpieces that can support the company's signature, and are said to be like thunder.

So of course Youlong Culture is anxious!

They also want a masterpiece that can hit the market!

And now this "Sherlock Holmes" is a ready-made masterpiece!

Under such circumstances, they were naturally willing to spend their money to bid for "Sherlock Holmes", but the strange thing was that even though their bid was extremely high, the person in charge of the Dragon Kingdom of "Aurora Brain" still refused to let go, which made Yin Bole think. While my heart is broken, I can only wait patiently.

Of course, the competitors they face are not vegetarians either.

The top ten publishing houses in China are all taking the trouble to inquire about the price of "Aurora Brain".

While asking for prices, these ten publishers are still trying to find out the true identity of Teacher Theking, because as long as they find Teacher Theking, they can directly skip "Aurora Brain" and talk about "The Sherlock Holmes" with Teacher Theking himself. The distribution rights and publishing rights of Dragon Kingdom.

Unfortunately, after searching hard, no one could find Mr. Theking!

This world-class reasoning master who emerged out of nowhere is completely mysterious to death. The top publishing houses in the country have tried their best to dig it out, but they still can't dig it out. .

Longguo Education Press, Xinhai Culture, National Publishing House, Guangguang United, Lingdian Media...

These top publishing houses all sent people to contact the person in charge of Japan's Kadokawa Publishing House in an attempt to get information about Teacher Theking, but Kadokawa insisted that they did not know any information about Teacher Theking, and even if they knew it, they would not disclose it!

Such an attitude made the major publishing houses in Dragon Kingdom helpless and had no choice but to give up their plans to find Teacher Theking.

According to rumors, even "Aurora Brain" does not know the true geometry of the mysterious Mr. Theking. The only person who may know who Mr. Theking is is the Japanese Kadokawa Publishing House. Unfortunately, Kadokawa Publishing House does not There is no intention to reveal the identity of Teacher Theking.

Since there is no way to find Teacher Theking...

Then domestic publishing houses can only place their hopes on "Aurora Brain" again.

On the other hand, because "Aurora Brain" has been reluctant to let go, the Chinese version of "Sherlock Holmes" has not been released. This has made many readers who do not understand English feel quite angry and keep complaining on the Internet:

"Hurry up and serialize it. I want to read the Chinese version of "The Man with Crooked Lips"..."

"Damn it, you can't buy "Aurora Brain" in China. Even if you can buy it, you can't understand English. I have no choice but to relive the first few stories."

"Island countries can read "Sherlock Holmes" in their own language. Why do I still read the English version? Although my English is not bad, there are many unfamiliar words in "Sherlock Holmes" that require a long time to look up. , lie down tiredly after reading it.”

"That's right, are you bullying me for not being good at English? What's the situation with the publishing houses in our Dragon Kingdom? They are collectively depressed. According to the previous rhythm, the popular works in the West will be published in our Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible. , As a result, I have been waiting for the Chinese version of "Sherlock Holmes" for several weeks, and I have not heard any news about which publisher will release it. "

“I am looking forward to the Chinese version of Sherlock Holmes!”

"Please help domestic publishing houses release "Sherlock Holmes". I will definitely buy it as soon as possible. The previous Chinese versions of Sherlock Holmes stories have attracted me, especially the long "The Sign of Four" ”, very good! ”

…

…

Previously, Teacher Theking had four entries.

They are "A Study in Scarlet", "The Sign of Four", "The Red-Headed Society", "The Spotted Band" and "The Hound of the Baskervilles".

These four works, "Aurora Brain", are released for free on the official website. Each country has a translated version. Once it was published, it aroused strong interest from readers in various countries. The Dragon Kingdom is naturally no exception. Unfortunately... …

After the competition, there was no new Sherlock Holmes to watch.

The Western version of "Aurora Brain" is indeed serializing new stories from "The Sherlock Holmes", but the Western series is an English version, which has not yet been introduced in the Dragon Kingdom, so this has caused great dissatisfaction among the fans of the Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, while they are dissatisfied, book fans are also looking forward to it.

It is for this reason that major domestic publishing houses are eager to acquire "The Sherlock Holmes". Unfortunately, after several weeks of hard work, there is still no progress. Youlong Culture even offered a sky-high price, but it did not succeed.

Fortunately, fans of Dragon Kingdom did not have to wait too long.

On May 23, national writer Luoyang’s Weibo account, which had been dormant for several months, suddenly posted an update:

"Two pieces of news. One is that "Traveling in Rivers and Lakes" has been revised. The stories serialized in the future are no longer limited to martial arts. Secondly, the Sherlock Holmes that you have been thinking about will be published in the next revised edition of "Traveling in Rivers and Lakes." We'll see you there."
