Chapter 696 Digging Three Feet Deep

"Aurora Brain Area" still hasn't been released?"

Youlong Culture, Yin Bole narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he encountered an extremely puzzling problem.

Red-haired Ye Hongli lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and said absent-mindedly: "There are two possibilities. One is that the copyright of "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was intercepted by other domestic publishers, and the other is that they think the price we offered is not enough."

Although the other party seemed absent-minded, Yin Bole knew that Ye Hongli's analysis was actually very objective.

His fingers gently stroked the corner of the table, and his brows frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be intercepted. Domestic publishers don't have the courage to take the copyright of this book without anyone noticing, and the price we offer is already the highest in the country. I can't think of any domestic company that is more determined than our Youlong Culture. We will continue to send people to contact tonight. "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" must belong to Youlong Culture!"

Ye Hongli hummed and continued to lower his head to play with his mobile phone.

As Hua Qi said, there are many publishers who want the rights to distribute Sherlock Holmes in Longguo!

Newly born companies like Youlong Culture are even more eager to get the Sherlock Holmes, because this new publishing house has enough scale and funds. What it needs most now is a real masterpiece to support its appearance. Otherwise, they would not have taken great pains to promote Gu Miao's "The King of Nine Fives". They want "The King of Nine Fives" to dominate the market to prove the terrible strength of their publishing house.

Unfortunately, although their strength has always been good, they have never dominated the market.

On the other hand, the other top 20 publishing houses in China all have at least a few masterpieces to support them.

For example, Luoyang Shuimu Culture, whether it is the previously sensational science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" or the martial arts TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that is currently being filmed, are all masterpieces that can support the company's signboard, and they are all well-known.

So of course Youlong Culture is anxious!

They also want a masterpiece that can dominate the scene!

Now, this "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" is equivalent to a ready-made masterpiece!

In this case, they are naturally willing to spend a lot of money to bid for "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes", but the strange thing is that although they have offered a very high price, the person in charge of "Aurora Brain" in Longguo has been reluctant to give in, which makes Yin Bole worry about it, but he can only wait patiently.

Of course, the competitors they face are not vegetarians.

The top ten publishing houses in China are all asking for the price of "Aurora Brain".

While asking for the price, these ten publishing houses are also trying to find the real identity of Teacher Theking, because as long as they find Teacher Theking, they can directly skip "Aurora Brain" and talk to Teacher Theking himself about the distribution rights and publishing rights of "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" in Longguo.

Unfortunately, after a hard search, no one can find Teacher Theking!

This world-class reasoning master who suddenly appeared was completely mysterious to death. The major domestic top publishing houses have tried their best, and they are just short of digging three feet into the ground, but they still can't dig him out.

Longguo Education Publishing House, Xinhai Culture, National Publishing House, Guangguang United, Zero Point Media...

These top publishing houses have sent people to contact the person in charge of Japan's Kadokawa Publishing House, trying to find out about Teacher Theking, but Kadokawa insisted that they didn't know any information about Teacher Theking, and even if they knew, they would not reveal it!

Such an attitude made the major publishing houses in Longguo helpless, and they had to give up the plan to find Teacher Theking.

According to gossip, even "Aurora Brainland" does not know the true identity of the mysterious Teacher Theking. The only one who may know who Teacher Theking is is the Japanese Kadokawa Publishing House. Unfortunately, Kadokawa Publishing House does not intend to expose Teacher Theking's identity.

Since there is no way to find Teacher Theking...

Then the domestic publishing houses can only put their hopes on "Aurora Brainland" again.

On the other hand, because Aurora Brainland was reluctant to release the Chinese version of Sherlock Holmes, many readers who do not understand English were very angry and kept complaining online:

"Please serialize it soon, I want to read the Chinese version of The Crooked Lip Man..."

"Fuck, I can't buy Aurora Brainland in China, and even if I buy it, I can't understand English, so I can only reminisce the first few stories."

"Islanders can read Sherlock Holmes in their own language, why do I still have to read the English version? Although my English is not bad, there are many uncommon words in Sherlock Holmes that take a long time to look up, and I am exhausted after reading it."

"That's right, are you bullying me because I'm not good at English? And what's the situation with the publishers in our country? They are all in a slump. According to the previous rhythm, popular works in the West will be released in our country first. As a result, I have been waiting for the Chinese version of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" for several weeks, and I haven't heard any news that any publisher will release it."

"I am looking forward to the Chinese version of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"!"

"Please help the domestic publishers and release "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". I will definitely buy it as soon as possible. The previous Chinese versions of Sherlock Holmes stories have attracted me, especially the long novel "The Sign of Four", which is very good!"

……

……

Before, Teacher Theking had four entries.

They are "A Study in Scarlet", "The Sign of Four", "The Red-Headed Society", "The Speckled Band" and "The Hound of the Baskervilles".

Among these four works, "Aurora Brain" was published on the official website for free. There are translated versions in every country. Once it was published, it aroused strong interest from readers in various countries. Longguo is no exception. Unfortunately...

After the competition, everyone has no new "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" to read.

The Western "Aurora Brain" is indeed serializing new stories of "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes", but the Western serialization is the English version, which has not been introduced in Longguo, so this has caused Longguo's book fans to be very dissatisfied.

Of course, while being dissatisfied, book fans are also looking forward to it more and more.

Major domestic publishing houses are eager to get "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" for this reason. Unfortunately, after several weeks of hard work, there has been no progress. Youlong Culture even offered a sky-high price, but it did not succeed.

Fortunately, Longguo's book fans did not continue to wait too long.

On May 23, the national writer Luoyang suddenly updated a post on Weibo after being silent for several months:

"Two pieces of news. One is that "Ta Jiang Hu" has been revised. The serialized stories will no longer be limited to martial arts. The other is that the Sherlock Holmes you have been thinking about will be published in the next revised version of "Ta Jiang Hu". See you there."
