A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 107 Tobacco Bureau Strategic Partner
Since the serialization of "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant" began on the Internet more than half a month ago, according to the sales data statistics of convenience stores, supermarkets, and canteens near the school, -

The number and frequency of students buying cigarettes has increased significantly recently.

Among them, the brands of cigarettes that students repurchase include but are not limited to:

Liqun, Xuanhemen, Nanjing, Hongtashan
Moreover, when these students go to supermarkets and convenience stores to buy cigarettes, they always mutter some strange limericks, such as
[I only smoke Xuan He Men, and I only love one person in my life. 】

[Just smoke Double Happiness and stop saying I love you. ]

[I only smoke black devils, and I will never regret loving you for the rest of my life. ]

Every time the salesperson sold cigarettes to these students, he felt strange.

If you want to smoke, just smoke it. Why do you need to do so many weird things?
What can be related to love?

Can your smoking be related to love?
At such a young age, what kind of emotional injury has he suffered?

"Students, you'd better smoke less." The cigarette seller handed the cigarettes in his hand to the students who came to buy them, and asked with a little doubt, "What's wrong with you recently? Why are there so many people buying cigarettes all of a sudden? The cigarettes in my counter are almost sold out."

If you don’t ask, you won’t know.

After asking, I finally understood.

It turns out that these students have recently become obsessed with an online novel called "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant."

The reason why I repurchase cigarettes so frequently is purely because.
This novel is so damn boring to read!
Others don't know, but Chu Tianjiao, a sports fanatic who doesn't usually smoke, has been smoking for a week.

I just picked two!
For someone who doesn't usually smoke, when I was reading "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant", I couldn't put down the cigarette and smoked two packs in just one week.

What’s more, what about those old-timers who are addicted to smoking and like to smoke?
In the past few weeks, the business of tobacco shops around the school has been booming.

It can simply be said to be incredibly good!

When the cigarettes in the vicinity of the school were sold out, I would walk two or three kilometers to a tobacco shop in the suburbs to buy more. When the cigarettes in the shops in the suburbs were sold out, I would walk another two or three kilometers to the far suburbs in the west of the city to buy more.
In short, cigarettes are...

The main point is that supply exceeds demand!
If this is the case with Chenghai Theatre Academy, what about other schools and even the entire university town?
According to the sales data of the past half month provided by tobacco companies.

Recently, the tobacco sales ratio in Chenghai City has increased compared with the same period in previous years.

A direct increase of 13.56% percentage points?

When the staff of the Municipal Tobacco Bureau first saw this financial report, they were a little puzzled:

"What's going on?"

“How come the number of smokers has increased so much without any signs?”

“Why are the sales figures suddenly so good?”

After some investigation and understanding.

Only then did I know.

Recently, the cigarettes whose sales ratio in urban areas has increased significantly include brands such as Liqun, Nanjing, Xuanhemen, and Hongtashan.
They all appeared in an online novel called "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant"?

When the novel describes the protagonist Zhaoyang lighting a red pagoda, the readers outside the novel——

I couldn't help but imitate Zhaoyang and light a Hongtashan cigarette.

When the novel describes the protagonist Zhaoyang being sad and lighting a Xuanhemen, the readers outside the novel——

He would also subconsciously imitate Zhaoyang and light a Xuanhemen.

Almost every time the male protagonist smokes something, the readers outside the novel will subconsciously follow suit and light up a cigarette.

When the leaders of the municipal tobacco department heard the news, their eyes lit up immediately:
"Is there such a good thing?"

"Can reading a novel increase tobacco sales?"

Our country is a non-smoking country. No matter when or where -

Smoking is not encouraged!
Even when they are selling cigarettes, they will have a line of big, bright words engraved on the back of the cigarette box: "Smoking is harmful to your health."

However, although smoking is not encouraged on the surface, as an employee of the tobacco department.
We also have to worry about tobacco sales!
"If you quit smoking and I quit smoking, how will the missiles fly into the sky?"

"If you don't smoke and I don't smoke, who will repair the country's aircraft carrier?"

As a state-owned enterprise, we certainly cannot openly encourage people to smoke.

But, in private.
It shouldn't be too much for me to help promote the novel, right?
After learning that watching "The Tenant" can actually increase tobacco sales
The leader of the Municipal Tobacco Bureau immediately issued an order:

"Comrades from the Propaganda Department, come on!"

[Thirty-year smokers highly recommend "My 26-year-old female tenant"! Everyone who watched it said it was good! ]

[What? There are smokers who haven't watched "The Tenant"? Then I strongly recommend you to watch it.]

[Read it for work and leisure! Read it for fitness and entertainment! Read it for friends’ gatherings! China Tobacco reminds you that it’s time to read novels! ]

Before the official media officially intervened, "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant" was only popular in a small range, that is, among young people aged between 18 and 25.

However, after the official media of the Tobacco Bureau launched the propaganda
Even many old smokers who never read online novels know about "The Tenant"?
The tobacco department's "alternative sales promotion" method directly made "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant" a success.

Many old smokers who came here to smoke directly made bold statements with great enthusiasm:

"I have been active in the novel world for more than ten years. Today I am here to test how deep my tenant's water is. Fellow Taoists, wait for my news!"

Who would have thought that after this departure, there would be no further news.

And it was under this message that many old smokers responded: "Brother, how are you?"

"How are you, bro? Are you okay?"

"What happened? Why did the person disappear?"

In response to questions from netizens.

Two days later, the original owner sent the latest battle situation:
"I haven't even finished a third of the novel, but I've already smoked two packs of cigarettes!"

"This book looks really fucking painful."

During the period when "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant" was serialized, the author Jiang Hai did not make much money. Instead, the Tobacco Bureau made a fortune by relying on alternative publicity?

Looking at the growing financial report, the leaders of the Municipal Tobacco Bureau were delighted:

"Comfortable!"

“This is so comfortable!”

Chenghai Drama Academy, in the classroom.

Jiang Hai looked at the sudden increase in negative comments in the background and immediately frowned:

"This guy who came from Tobacco Book Promotion is really not a human being. What kind of author can write such a thing?"

"My lungs are about to turn black! Brothers, I'm really in pain!"

"I smoked two packs of cigarettes in one day after reading this novel. I'm really going to die."

"Two packs? Brother, are you guys here to take care of your health? I finished half of it in one morning."

Jiang Hai must take the blame for some things.

After all, he himself knows what the article he wrote is like.

There are indeed many places in the book "The Tenant" where the use of knives is just for the sake of using knives!

It has no logic at all, the existence of certain plots -

It is just for the sake of torturing the readers!
But, then again.
I didn't ask you to smoke while reading!
You smoke and feel uncomfortable, and you want to blame me?
This is unreasonable!
Just as Jiang Hai was browsing the comments in the background, the editor Yang Shuman's profile picture frame flashed on his personal WeChat.

"Jiang Hai, I want to report to you about the issue of finding a publisher for "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"."

As expected, as originally expected, without any reputation of their own, these relatively large publishing houses on the market——

No one is willing to advance money to print a book by a new author like Jiang Hai.

Although I know that your film "No Longer Human" has received relatively good responses abroad, so what?

This is China, not abroad.

Nowadays, traditional paper books, unless written by a well-known author, are difficult to sell in the country.

It has nothing to do with your level, this is the market today.

No one wants to take this risk.

Yang Shuman explained a situation to Jiang Hai:
"I contacted thirteen publishing houses, twelve of which rejected us. One publisher was willing to give us a chance to publish, but the first print run they gave us was around three thousand copies. The publisher said they wanted to see how the first issue sold before deciding on the follow-up."

Or, don't do it.

If you want to do it, you have to make a bigger move.

What are the first phase, second phase, and third phase?
What's the point of printing issue after issue and selling thousands of copies?
After learning about this, Jiang Hai told Yang Shuman without hesitation:
"Sister Shuman, if you can't find a suitable publisher, forget it. I won't force you to do it. If it doesn't work, I can pay for the printing myself. I just need you to find a better printing company for me."

In fact, get the book publishing number and find a suitable printing factory.

None of these are difficult.

The key point is that if you choose to print with your own money, the risk
But you are the only one who has to bear it?
If the book is published and the sales volume does not meet the expectation or even far exceeds the expectation,
This thing will lose money!

If you don’t handle it properly, you will lose everything!
Considering the huge risk involved, after hesitating for a while, Yang Shuman sent another message to Jiang Hai:
"How about I try harder?"

"I will ask a few more publishers tomorrow. I have a few classmates."

Unexpectedly, before Yang Shuman finished sending the message, Jiang Hai interrupted her directly:

"No need, Sister Shuman. I will bear any risks myself."

"This time, let me pay for it myself."

Not every Boya can meet his own Zhong Ziqi.

It's their loss if these people don't think highly of my books.

Jiang Hai has absolute confidence in "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

Even if you don’t make money, at least you shouldn’t lose money, right?
Now that I have decided to invest in printing myself, there is only one thing I need to do next -

That’s making money!
As for where the money comes from?
Of course, it is the serialized book "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant"!
"I will use the money you earn to print books, and then continue to stab you."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Hai immediately updated a chapter in the background:
【Love by the Suzhou moat! 】

Not long after the update, an official account with the ID name [Strategic Partner of the Tobacco Bureau] actively reposted Jiang Hai’s update and tweeted:
[The Tenant Girl has been updated, come and read it!]
