"Received, received."
Yang Xiao's excited voice came from the phone, and Yu Dong smiled and replied: "Just get it."
Today, the Deep Space Company's email address was officially opened. After registering the email address, Yang Xiao called Yu Dongfei and asked him to send an email to try.
"Actually, it's the same thing if you ask Lao Tan and 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 they don't have this surprising feeling of super long-distance communication. Besides, let you, the first user of 163 mailbox, send me a message
Emails also have face, don’t they?”
"I also told you that this is the first email sent from this email address."
"That would be even better." Yang Xiao smiled and added, "It's a pity that the manuscript sent this time is not your new book."
After listening to Yang Xiao's urging for manuscripts, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mailbox will receive a lot of manuscripts soon. Basically all the writers signed by us in Deep Space have registered their mailboxes, and Secretary Hu and Da Liu have not
Exception, I believe they will send you the manuscript soon."
"Then I'll wait and see. I won't say anything anymore. If you contact me in the future, you can use the email address."
"OK, bye."
Yu Dong hung up the phone and ran to the study to look at his email interface.
I have to say that this interface is really clumsy, but it is more concise and you can send emails as soon as you enter.
The name 163 came from Yu Dong, who registered the domain name one step ahead of Ding Lei. Originally, Yu Dong also thought about using the abbreviation sq of deep space as the domain name and suffix, but after thinking about it later, he still felt that
163 is easy to use.
In China, these three numbers are closely bound to the Internet. When people see the number 163, they will think of the Internet, 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 natural advantages.
"Hey, there's a new email?"
Yu Dong refreshed the page and found a new email, so he clicked on it and read it. When he saw the content, he couldn't help but pat the table.
Then he rushed out the door and shouted in the direction of Bi Feiyu's house: "Old Bi, is there something wrong with you?"
Bi Feiyu walked out of the door and replied: "Haha, I'll give it a try. You can collect emails quite quickly."
"There's money to burn."
Yu Dong shook his head and was about to go back when Mo Yan's voice came over again, "Yu Yu, please go back and see if you received the email I sent you?"
…
Yu Dong really couldn't understand that Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Bi Feiyu, and Hu Changqing, who were in the same school or even lived in the same building, could exchange emails for a whole afternoon.
And the emails they sent were completely rude.
Yu Hua asked Mo Yan, "Have you eaten?", Mo Yan replied, "Not yet," and then asked "Have you eaten?", Yu Hua replied, "Not yet."
With the current Internet dial-up speed and the time it takes them to type and send, sending an email is not as fast as going out and shouting.
…
Although Yu Hua and others were just having fun after registering their email address, for the majority of netizens, the emergence of the 163 email address has a different meaning.
On the Deep Space Chinese Network, everyone has been discussing mailboxes since morning.
Fatty Li Zhuzhu: [I just registered my email address, the address is xxxxx, is there anyone who can exchange emails with me? 】
Xiaoyao Sanren: [I am also registering, but I keep getting disconnected, which is really annoying.]
Princess Yueshi: [Just wait a little longer.]
Mr. Ronald: [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 issued a notice, but it didn’t mention Teacher Yu Dong’s email address. 】
Faulknar: [Of course it cannot be announced. If it is announced, Teacher Yu Dong’s mailbox will explode. 】
Liu Jinfa: [If I enter an address randomly, will it be sent successfully? 】
Jin Kefan: [If this address is valid, it is OK. 】
Liu Jinfa: [Does that mean you can randomly find pen pals? 】
Faulknar: [Theoretically, this is the case.]
Chen Mobai: [Isn’t it good for everyone to chat on the website? Why do you have to use email? 】
Mr. Ronald: [What do you know? One-to-one email is more interesting, and you can send more things, not just text.]
Chen Mobai: [I heard that an instant messaging software will be released in deep space this year, and it will be used for chatting.]
Jin Kefan: [I’ve heard about it too, and I’m looking forward to it very much.]
Mr. Ronald: [Princess Yuezhi, my email address is xxxx. Send me a photo so I can see if you are a boy or a girl.]
Grain supplement
Princess Yuezhi: [Sorry, I don’t have a digital camera or electronic pictures.]
Jin Kefan: [You are stupid, even if you send it, she can still send it to you from someone else.]

The emergence of mailboxes has brought the Internet into the eyes of more people. Compared with netizens who are obsessed with melons, magazines such as "Science Fiction World" have a more practical need for the functions displayed by mailboxes.
With the use of email, it is easier for authors to submit manuscripts, more convenient for journal publishers, and faster responses.
Therefore, after the 163 mailbox came out, many magazines registered it immediately and published their email addresses for authors to submit manuscripts.
This also reflects the influence of Deep Space Company in the country. If the mailbox is changed to another company, these magazines will definitely have concerns when using it, worrying about issues such as lost manuscripts and plagiarism. However, because it is Deep Space
If it is provided by the company, everyone will have much less doubts.
…
Just when people were talking about mailbox 163, Deep Space Chinese Network suddenly sent out 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 email, it is quite normal for Deep Space Chinese to send a promotional advertisement to its "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 has not been taken down for several days. It always has these words, and it does not say when the new work will be released.
Agatha: [Is this news always going to be posted? I don’t say when it will come out.]
Chen Mobai: [Just hang it up, my boss’s novel can’t be promoted anymore?]
Jin Kefan: [The key thing is that it feels a little unusual. Since the release date has not been set yet, it should be a long time before it comes out. It doesn’t look like the style of deep space when it starts promoting it so early. 】
Niu Niu: [Indeed, and this promotion is too simple, just one line of words, hanging on the homepage every day.]
Liu Jinfa: [You are thinking too much. Anyway, I have been looking forward to Teacher Yu’s book.]
Ronald: [What are you expecting? We don’t even know what the subject of this book is right now.]
Little Flying Cat 001: [I have a feeling in the dark that this book is different.]
Omnipresent Fatty: [Haha, the purpose of deep space has been achieved, that’s what they want you to think. 】
Liu Jinfa: [Maybe, it’s really different? 】
…
Whether the new book is different or not, everyone doesn’t know, but everyone has seen the intensity of publicity for the new book.
In the first few days, the homepage of the website had the words "Yu Dong's new work "Old Book" will be released soon". After a week, this line changed to "Yu Dong's new work "Old Book" will be released simultaneously worldwide".
People have speculated about what kind of book this is and why Deep Space Company will give such publicity this time.
Not only ordinary netizens are curious, but also magazines that have cooperated with Yu Dong have called Yu Dong to ask what kind of book "Old Book" is.
Yang Xiao was the first to call. After hearing Yu Dong say it was not science fiction, he said nothing more. Then Li Xiaolin and Su Tong also called one after another. Su Tong was easy to deal with because he was a senior brother after all. Yu Dong simply explained
After a few words, he didn't ask any more questions.
Li Xiaolin was different. She seemed to have noticed something. She kept asking if the manuscript could be used in "Harvest". After learning that Deep Space had already 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 simultaneously all over the world, I don't ask you to give us the manuscript. I am just curious now, what kind of book is this? Yesterday I chatted with my father
When we were there, we talked about your book and he said he was very interested in it."
Li Xiaolin spoke very sincerely and moved Ba Jin out. 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 about Yu Dongde for more than half an hour.
"With such a good manuscript, why don't you want to read about "Harvest"?"
"Is it true that "Harvest" is now beyond your eyes?"
"I asked you at the end of last year if you had any manuscripts, and you told me no... OK, OK, even if it was written later, why didn't you remember that I asked you about the manuscript?"
"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 breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although Li Xiaolin complained a lot, after knowing the plan of Deep Space, she did not force it anymore. She also knew that it would be more conducive to the promotion of this book than sending it to "Harvest" and releasing it directly and simultaneously around the world.
No matter what, she also wanted authors like Yu Dong and others to develop well, which was also the purpose of founding "Harvest".
…
Deep Space's promotion of "Old Books" is of course not limited to China. In the United States, they also started their promotion work very early.
The most outrageous thing is that the Amazon website has posted pre-sale information for "Used Books" very early in the morning.
