Chapter 70 – Yu Wan’s Idea
Although there were a lot of scolding in the book review area, what made the editors of Iron Blood Net sad was that success of the book “Drawing Sword” had not declined but instead had risen, and the more it was scolded, the more flourishing the sales are!
“Boss, did Qiyue manipulate their data over at their side?” A new editor said angrily, “Clearly, a group of people said that they were going to abandon the book, so why are so many people still subscribing to it? It’s not scientific!”
Lingyun Jueding, Deputy Chief Editor of Iron Blood Net, is a balding middle-aged man. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and didn’t say a word.
But there was an editor by the side who started talking unhappily: “Yu Wan, what nonsense are you talking about? Can this kind of big data be easily manipulated by Qiyue? That would be hard to achieve. That they are directly throwing money to fill in the number of subscriptions?”
Of course, it’s impossible!
“The more scolding there are, the more you can see the readers’ love for ‘Drawing Sword’!” Lingyun Jueding sighed and said, “Just like those tragic dramas, the more people cry, the more market there is.”
He moved the mouse, opened the reward area, pointed to the projection and said to his subordinates, “As you can see, he has killed off the supporting role, but there are still many people who are willing to support it. They are even willing to spend a lot of money, asking him to revise the previous chapters.”
The most local tyrant was a reader who is part of the Golden League of “Drawing Sword”. This reader whose ID is “The Bugle Urges Me to Report” has thrown a huge reward of 50 million book coins (equivalent to 500,000 yuan), and left a red message: “There’s another 50 million, Yang Yi, you bring Xiuqin and the monk back, and it is yours! If you don’t, I’ll deliver a hundred teddies to your house one day!” (TN: Red message: A message that is posted across the site. I don’t know what “sending 100 teddies” means, but teddy means poodle or teddy bear.)
(PS: This “Deliver a Teddy” stem from… the book review section. A book friend said that if Xiaohan TJ has this book, he would give Xiaohan a good day… Doraemon is afraid ~). (TN: This is from the author, included in the chapter. I have no clue what this means.)
The editors of Iron Blood Net are familiar with this ID. Moreover, they know that this person’s real identity is a real estate boss, and is a former soldier, and has started from scratch after retirement. A big boss with hundreds of millions of money to his name.
In the past, he spent no less than 5 million yuan on Iron Blood Net. A “big fish” that Iron Blood Net had to serve carefully.
However, now that he has moved to other platform and rewarded the opposite party’s author so much, the editors of Iron Blood Net were heartbroken.
“I think we should dig Yang Yi, at all costs!” After a long silence in the conference room, an editor said, “Whatever conditions Qiyue have given him, we will give him a better one, and we will also give him a signing fee!”
“But the problem is, we don’t even know where he is, so how can we dig him?” Another editor retorted, “If we could dig him, we would have dug him a long time ago!”
“Or, Lingyun, shall we discuss it with the Military Literature and Art side again?” (TN: Military Literature and Art is a site.)
“Yeah, making the Military Literature and Art help out would make everything okay, right?”
Lingyun frowned as he listened to the noisy discussion in the conference room. He smiled bitterly in his heart: “Too naive!”
Are the Military Literary and Art people so easy to incite? What’s more, recently, there has been a bit of a standoff between the Iron Blood Net and Military Literature and Art. Because of the decline of the traditional media, Military Literature and Art was getting worse year after year, but Iron Blood Net has shown better potential for development, which made Big Brother a little upset. Every time the leaders of the two sides hold a meeting together, there’s always a smell of gunpowder.
“Cough, I think we don’t have to go through Military Literature and Art….” A weak voice entered into Lingyun’s ear.
Lingyun’s eyes lit up. He pointed to the guy: “Yu Wan, do you have any good ideas? Hurry up and say it!”
Yes, it was that reckless new editor just now. When he heard the deputy chief editor called him by his name, he was emboldened. He stood up and said loudly, “We can ask a good publishing house we have good connection with to approach Qiyue and have them discuss about the physical publication of “Soldier Assault”. Such an important matter, it is impossible for Qiyue to not take out the author’s information, right? As long as our publishing house can get in touch with the author, then our opportunity will come!”
That’s right!
Lingyun patted his bald head, laughed and said, “Yu Wan, that’s a good idea! Very good, very good! Just do it, then, you go and arrange it…”
Yang Yi has no idea what the editors of Iron Blood Net were scheming.
But his new book was scolded and caused a public uproar. Although Yang Yi was informed by Editor Qiang Zi, he didn’t go to the book review area, nor did he plan to change the manuscript.
Well, a reward of 500,000 won’t make him change the plot of the original book!
Why? Yang Yi was paid millions of yuan for a mission in his previous life, and he wanted to order him for 500,000?
Besides, no matter how much money it is, Yang Yi is a man of principle!
But what is he doing?
…….
Today, Yang Yi didn’t open the shop, but went to the bank with Xixi.
Of course, Yang Yi didn’t have Conan’s nature when withdrawing some money. The bank was calm, and there were no strange incidents of bank robberies or robbers taking hostages. (TN: Conan’s nature – I think this is referring to Detective Conan, where something eventful will happen wherever he goes.)
Because he made a prior appointment, the big client manager took Yang Yi and the little girl to a separate VIP room, and also served Xixi a plate of candy and cookies with great care.
“Thank you, Auntie!” Xixi snuggled up to her father’s arms and said sweetly.
“Call me Big Sister, I’m not yet old enough to be called Auntie!” The big client manager in a suit and tube skirt was actually not much younger than Yang Yi, but it’s in woman’s nature that they don’t like to be called aunt.
Going back to the point, the big client manager confirmed with Yang Yi: “Mr. Yang, you wanted to withdraw 1 million yuan in cash, right?”
“That’s right.” Yang Yi nodded.
“But it’s not convenient and safe to carry 1 million yuan of cash!” Sure enough, the Bank of Tianxia was generally dark, and she also tried her best to retain it. “Why don’t you keep your money in the bank? We have a very convenient wealth management product here. You can deposit and withdraw your money right away, and the interest rate is higher than the current account, and the income is settled on a daily basis!” (Tianxia can be translated as world or China, so either world bank or china bank. Since I’m not sure, I left it as it is.)
But Yang Yi was very firm. He waited for the other party to breathe, and made his attitude clear: “No, I want to withdraw the money!”
The big client manager worked hard, but Yang Yi still wanted to withdraw the money. in the end, she could only ask the security guard to deliver the money. Yang Yi prepared his own duffel bag for the money.
Watching Yang Yi put a pile of money into the bag, the big client manager’s heart was dripping with blood. She couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Yang, it’s not safe to walk on the road with so much money!”
Yang Yi smiled lightly. He looked at the opposite party calmly and said, “Is that so? Thank you for reminding me! Let’s go, Xixi! “
The little girl glanced reluctantly at the untouched candy on the plate, but she still obediently jumped down from the chair and ran over to hold her father’s empty left hand.
“Goodbye, Auntie.” Xixi said cleverly.
The big client manager listened and the corner of her mouth twitched. She could only force a smile on her face.
Just like he didn’t care about carrying 2 million yuan when he was buying a car, Yang Yi took this bag of money and came out calmly with Xixi, as if the father and daughter were traveling with their luggage. No one would take another glance at them.
Yang Yi was still looking forward to it, but there was no blind robber rushing out, so he threw the money into the back seat of the Tyrant Wolf and left with Xixi.
