The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

If the novel doesn't sell well, he won't have the shame to continue to receive high royalties. Google search reading

However..., he still has a certain degree of confidence in the novel Qin Empire.

As he spoke, Editor Nagano thought about it and felt that the manuscript was really good. He read it for a while and felt that it was a bit unforgettable. So he stood up and said, "Bai-kun, please wait a moment."

Then he opened the door, and outside was the living room.

After a while, editor-in-chief Nagano and Nobuo Nakajima came in together. While pouring tea, he said: "Nakajima, take a look at this manuscript and see if there are any mistakes. If not, we will speed up the typesetting today to strive for these two mistakes." The first issue is published today.”

"You also know that the newspaper's business has been really bad recently and it can't make ends meet. Although the president is helping us, we can't continue like this."

Nagano's editor-in-chief regarded Shirogane's novel as a possible savior to save the newspaper's business.

This is not a big lie.

Generally speaking, the news published in the newsroom is almost the same, unless the news is able to dig out important information. It is just that the comments in the commentary department are slightly different.

So news is generally not the selling point of newspapers. No, not a tabloid selling point…

People have habits. News from major newspapers will be more accurate, comments will be more objective, and sources of information will be richer. Why should everyone buy ordinary tabloids...

Therefore, tabloids often publish some serial novels or erotic stories to attract readers to buy them.

The Democracy Newspaper can now be maintained mainly by the support of the majority of students studying in Japan.

The sales volume of one issue of the newspaper is only over five or six hundred copies, which is considered very low!

"Oh, was this manuscript written by Master Bai?"

When Nobuo Nakajima saw the signature on the manuscript, he looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that Bai Gui would prepare the novel manuscript for publication in the newspaper on his first day at work.

He spoke very kindly, but in his heart there was a flash of contempt, 'Another guy who relies on the shadow of his elders! ’

He has been working in the newspaper industry for four or five years. Like many emerging industries, some newspapers have risen due to the times and have grown from obscurity to well-known newspapers. There are also some newspapers with good development momentum that have closed down due to improper management.

Among the various behaviors of improper management, bribing newspapers to publish novels is okay, at least you can still make money. The most terrifying thing is taking advantage of your power relationship to distribute novels indiscriminately...

Nobuo Nakajima showed all his thoughts on his face.

He held the manuscript paper and proofread it word by word, striving for accuracy. Proofreading and editing require patience.

Bai Gui's manuscript is written in Japanese, and the novel is published in Japan. Although it is possible to write in Chinese, the scope of distribution is limited to international students. The total number of international students is just over 10,000. Even if they all buy newspapers, they can only be regarded as good sales. , cannot reach the level of big sales...

When there is an opportunity in the future, a publishing house will definitely contact him to translate it into Chinese and publish it.

"Huh……"

After watching it for a few minutes, Nobuo Nakajima couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

It seems that anyone can write, but there are thresholds. If you just pile up words and words, you are definitely a novice. After working as an editor for a long time, you can roughly tell whether a manuscript is good or bad after reading a few hundred words.

Professional intuition.

"Editor Bai's manuscript has no errors or omissions at all..."

"And this novel can definitely be called a masterpiece. After reading it, I still have more to say."

After a long time, it was already approaching dusk, and I watched for nearly half an hour. Nobuo Nakajima exhaled, put the manuscript aside, drank a cup of cold herbal tea, moistened his throat, and said to the editors-in-chief Bai Gui and Nagano who had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Bai came from the imperial examination. Ink scrolls are not allowed in the examination room. It is natural that there should be no mistakes."

Editor-in-Chief Nagano smiled lightly and said a few words of praise.

"No, no, I just checked it a few times when I was in high school. Zhuge is always cautious in his life."

Bai Gui replied

"Meihe is said to be modest, which compares to Prime Minister Zhuge,"

Editor-in-Chief Nagano laughed.

This is also the norm for scholars. Humility does not necessarily mean humility, but humility needs to be shown.

"Since there are no mistakes or omissions, I will work overtime tonight and try to get the novel published in the newspaper as soon as possible..."

Editor-in-chief Nagano agreed.

In a newspaper office, working overtime is the norm.

Because occasionally news breaks and must be published first. Therefore, most people in newspaper offices are used to working overtime. Moreover, the salary in the newspaper office is much higher than that in other places, and there are also allowances for overtime work, so there are generally not many complaints.

After Nobuo Nakajima arranged the manuscript paper to the printing department.

Go out and wave.

Four rickshaws came.

Editor-in-Chief Nagano invited colleagues from the newspaper. In addition to workers in the printing department, the others were in the editorial and commentary departments, as well as two reporters, a total of six people.

"When Bai Jun wrote, I had already reserved a place at a tea house in Xinqiao District to welcome Bai Jun..."

Editor-in-chief Nagano, who was wearing a kimono, smiled.

A tea house is a place for tea drinking, relaxation and entertainment.

However, ordinary people who are serious will go to teahouses wherever they are. If they are of a lower rank, they will go to an izakaya, and if they are a higher rank, they will go to a restaurant. In addition to drinking tea, eating and talking about things, the most important part of the teahouse is that you can make an appointment with a geisha in the teahouse...

The place where the geisha lives is a house.

Guests cannot go directly to purchase a house and must make an appointment at the tea house.

"Then...thank you Nagano-senpai for the hospitality."

After a little hesitation, Bai Gui accepted the suggestion.

If you want to be gregarious, don't act so aloof. He had just arrived, and he couldn't refuse too much for the first time. The editor-in-chief Nagano had just offered him such a high price for the polishing materials... It was a bit inconvenient to refuse now.

Besides, he was also somewhat curious about geisha.

The rickshaw was no different from the one in Shanghai. It came quickly and steadily. After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, we arrived at a place full of entertainment and entertainment, with red lanterns hanging under the eaves.

This is the art town of Shimbashi Ward.

He's architectural style.

The plaque reads "Sweet Tea House".

Ganwei refers to Japanese traditional desserts, which means that here, you can not only enjoy the tea ceremony, but also eat some high-end desserts.

Passing through a small Japanese-style courtyard with some flowers and plants, it is elegant and clean.

Soon an attendant came forward and led them to a side room, which was the private room of the tea house. There were only seven of them.

The tea ceremony desserts were served first with Japanese wagashi.

Wagashi is a kind of Japanese snack, which was introduced in the Tang Dynasty and was taken along with the tea ceremony. The method is to boil the adzuki beans and peel them, then make bean paste, mix with sugar, and then wrap it with rice cake skin made of glutinous rice to make Various styles.

Next to the snacks, there are also small letters with famous names written on them, such as "Yue Lingzi", "Jinyu Soup" and so on.

They are all taken from Japanese songs.
