Yu Dong is waiting for two letters.
One is from the Sci-Fi World Editorial Department, and the other is from Jiang Cheng.
The one Yu Dong held in his hand was sent from the Science Fiction World Editorial Department.
The letter was written by Tan Kai himself. He told Yu Dong in the letter that "One Day" has been scheduled to be published in the December issue of "Science Fiction World", and the full text will be published, not in installments. A sample issue will be published soon.
Send to Yu Dong.
As for "Second World", it is initially determined that it will be serialized for ten to twelve issues, and the specific decision will depend on the situation of each issue.
The specific situation refers to the reception of manuscripts in each issue of "Science Fiction World". If the reception of a certain issue is not good and there is more space in the page, more serials will be published.
On the contrary, if there are other new manuscripts suitable for publication in a certain issue, the number will be serialized less frequently.
Moreover, Tan Kai also mentioned something to Yu Dong, that is, the company is considering changing from a bimonthly publication to a monthly publication. The company has discussed this matter several times and has already made a rough decision.
As for the specific decision, Tan Kai did not reveal it. But from what Tan Kai said, it can be seen that whether it will be changed to a monthly magazine has something to do with Yu Dong.
Yu Dong guessed that they should still consider it based on sales volume and readers' voice. If this serialization can be successful and sales increase, then it will be natural to change it to a monthly publication.
Otherwise, it would take two years to complete the serialization of "Second World", which is really too long.
Yu Dong still had some impressions about the change of "Science Fiction World" to a monthly publication. If he remembered correctly, this incident should have happened in 1993 in his last life.
If "Science Fiction World" can really change from bimonthly to monthly this time, it will be one or two years earlier than in the previous life. This will also be the biggest change to the world after Yu Dong's rebirth.
So Yu Dong is quite concerned about the revision.
In addition to talking about business in the letter, Tan Kai also cared about Yu Dong's recent life and invited him to visit Chengdu again when he has time.
After reading the letter, Yu Dong counted the days. The next issue of "Science Fiction World" should be out soon.
Although it is the December issue, according to the practice of "Science Fiction World", it can usually be purchased in the market in advance.
The advance time is not fixed. Sometimes it can be half a month in advance, sometimes it is only two or three days in advance, and sometimes it is even delayed.
Putting away the finished letter carefully, Yu Dong stared at the window in a daze.
He was thinking about communication. It would not be a problem to correspond with "Science Fiction World" like now.
Last time Yang Xiao asked Yu Dong if she had a landline phone number that could contact him at any time, but Yu Dong told her no.
Indeed, there are only a few telephones in the school, and they are all in the leaders' offices. There are no telephones installed in their collective offices.
You can't bother the school leaders every day because of these things, and some things are not convenient to discuss in their offices.
Not to mention the phone number in Su Tong's office. He was so busy every day that he had no time to help Yu Dong answer the phone.
The public phone station is some distance from the school and is not very convenient.
Buying a pager was not cheap, costing several thousand yuan, and it seemed to Yu Dong that it would not improve his current situation much, so he rejected the idea.
The pager reminded Yu Dong of a joke on the Internet in later generations. It was said that someone hoarded a batch of pagers in the 1990s and wanted to make a fortune, but later suffered a huge loss.
This paragraph is not made up, this situation does occur, because bp machines have become more and more popular in recent years, and the price has continued to rise for a certain period of time.
This gave some people the illusion that the price of BP machines would keep rising. They did not expect that mobile phones would develop so fast. Within a few years, BP machines almost exited the market.
It is normal for businessmen to pursue profits and chase the rise and fall because of the limitations of the times and cannot predict the future.
After much deliberation, he could only make do with this for the time being. Anyway, the communication needs were not too urgent. When it became really urgent later, he would probably have some spare money on hand, and there would be more ways to solve the problem.
The worst case scenario is to buy a house in Jinling and install a phone. Or buy a mobile phone and take it with you. Although he is used to using mobile phones, he doesn't think much of the brick-like phone, but he really wants to use it.
When it's old, who cares whether it's heavy or ugly.
In short, the solution is still a matter of money. If you have money, there will be more solutions.
…
A bookstore opened at the intersection of Yunhua Road and Linhe Road.
The store is not big, about thirty square meters, but the boss built an awning at the entrance and customized two wooden boards to be placed on chairs as temporary bookstalls, which can be regarded as expanding the bookstore's capacity.
However, there are troubles with this expansion. His bookstore cannot be open 24 hours a day, and it has to open and close. At this time, it will take a lot of effort to move books.
On the morning of the 25th, the boss Dai Huan ran back and forth many times before finally setting up the books. When he was about to sit down and have a cigarette, he saw several teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old walking towards him.
Come.
Before the teenagers arrived, one of them shouted to Dai Huan: "Boss, has the new issue of "Science Fiction World" been released?"
I know this young man Dai Huan. He is a student of Jinling Middle School. He always likes to go to his bookstore when he has nothing to do.
As soon as Dai Huan saw that the business was done, he didn't want to rest anymore. He picked up a copy of "Science Fiction World" from the bookstall and showed it to them, "You are in luck, the new issue has just been released."
Seeing the boss take out "Science Fiction World", several teenagers' eyes lit up at the same time and they quickly walked over.
The boy who spoke before took the magazine into his hand and was about to read it when another boy urged: "Time waits for no one, class is about to start, so hurry up and buy it."
Dai Huan said with a smile: "Yes, this magazine is getting better and better now. It's better to buy it back and see if it's better. How many copies do you want? I bought a lot this time, but there are only ten copies. If you want to buy it, you'd better buy it now."
, it would be hard to tell if it’s noon.”
In fact, "Science Fiction World" is not as easy to sell as Dai Huan said. He usually buys five copies. This time he bought ten copies because there were still people asking after the five copies he bought in the last issue were sold out, so he is bolder this time.
Some. The reason why I say this is naturally because I want to promote the magazine.
He looked at the seven or eight students in front of him, and was also calculating how many copies he could sell. If he could buy all ten copies, then opening the door so early today would be considered a busy day.
"Just one book will do." The leading boy took out a wad of money from his pocket, put it on the bookstall, and left with the book.
Others gathered around the boy and they walked towards the school together.
Several people came and left quickly, and within a short time Dai Huan was left alone in front of the bookstall. Looking at the backs of the young people, Dai Huan's eyes widened.
He runs a bookstore all year round, so he naturally knows that students like to buy a magazine and read it together.
But this was the first time he saw so many people coming together to buy books, and they only bought one copy.
Chapter completed!
