Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 954 Three Reasons for Success: Deliberately Creating Friction! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Before going to bed that night, Zhu Lin told Fang Yan about how Hu Daohu and Huang Huijie wanted to help her publish a book.

Fang Yan immediately said, "That's great! I think your book will definitely sell like hotcakes."

Zhu Lin became interested and leaned closer to ask, "Really? This is my first time writing a book, how come you're so confident?"

Fang Yan spread his hands and laughed: "When have I ever embellished my words?" Seeing Zhu Lin's still puzzled look, he simply sat up straight and began to analyze on his fingers: "First, they plan to publish the book after the movie and TV series have finished airing. This is called striking while the iron is hot. Those viewers who are still not satisfied after watching the show will definitely want to understand the story better through the book. This is already a mature business model abroad. Just like Disney's animated films, I don't need to tell you how popular the related toys are in Europe and America, right?"

Zhu Lin nodded, seemingly understanding, but these business acumen were indeed beyond her comprehension. Fang Yan continued, "Secondly, your book is a rare find. A perspective from a contemporary young Chinese woman—you simply can't find another one like it on the market right now. Foreign readers love that. Even though the book certainly doesn't contain the 'material' they're looking for, that doesn't stop them from being curious."

"What do they want to see?" Zhu Lin frowned.

“Suffering and poverty are best expressed by a woman who has endured immense torment, denouncing society.” Fang Yan chuckled and continued:

"By highlighting one's own superiority by watching others suffer, there will definitely be people in China who make money from foreigners by writing such stories in the future. Believe it or not, this kind of prejudice can leave a lifelong ideological imprint on a person."

Zhu Lin shook his head angrily: "That's too mean!"

She pressed on, "And what's the third point?"

"The third one is even simpler."

"Old Hu and Huang Huijie hold the resources," Fang Yan explained through gestures.

"It's too easy for capital to make a book a hit. Add in film and television collaborations and topical marketing, and as long as you package a few eye-catching selling points, a bestseller is guaranteed, right?"

Zhu Lin asked curiously:
"Things can be this simple?"

He said in dialect:

"That's right. The market can be blind at times, and many people's consumption is guided."

"Many demands are also created out of thin air by capital."

"Of course, I'm not saying your book is bad, but it's something that was already good, and after packaging and promotion, it already has the potential to become a bestseller."

"I understand..." Zhu Lin nodded.

Fang Yan then told his wife to relax and wait for Lao Hu and Huang Huijie to help distribute the books.

……

Time flies, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, after morning exercises, the people from the school arrived.

Today, Kim Se-won led the team here.

These were the last six students in the class.

Li Zhengji actually summoned them all at once.

Fang Yan quickly guessed Li Zhengji's idea. The kid thought that since there were more people in this round today, he could get another turn. After all, there were only a limited number of overseas Chinese businessmen, and this batch of overseas Chinese businessmen was almost finished watching.

I hosted Professor Jin Shiyuan and the students at my home for breakfast.

Fang Yan then led them to check on the patients.

On the way, Jin Shiyuan also expressed his gratitude to the dialect.

Thanks to Fang Yan for giving Zeng Luquan a good job. He chatted with Zeng Luquan last night, and Zeng was very satisfied with his current work environment, as well as his leaders and colleagues.

Fang Yan smiled and said to Jin Shiyuan:
"Professor Zeng and I have a mutually beneficial relationship, so please don't be so polite."

Jin Shiyuan was quite moved after hearing Fang Yan's words.

The main reason was that he knew his junior brother had finally found a platform to fully display his talents at the age of forty-six. After wasting half his life, it was truly a hard-won opportunity.

……

Fang Yan was quite concerned about the quality of sleep for the four people who were admitted to the hospital yesterday on their first night.

So when they arrived at the hospital, the first thing Fang Yan checked was their room.

The ward rounds yielded pretty good results.

The family members also gave the environment here high praise.

There are two more students today, so the ward rounds seem to be quite large.

Upon entering the ward, the beds were lined up in a row, making it seem like the situation was quite serious.

So basically, when I go to each ward, I have to explain the local dialect. Today, there were two more interns.

Fortunately, everyone was quite understanding. When they heard that they were all classmates speaking the same dialect, they were very polite. Some people were even already making advances towards them.

For example, ask if you plan to work abroad after graduation... or what kind of traditional Chinese medicine techniques you are skilled in...

Fang Yan didn't say anything; if they could poach people, then let them.

As expected, when most people heard about opportunities to work abroad, they immediately said that they did not have such plans at the moment. It was not yet time for the craze to go abroad, and most people had not thought about going abroad to work.

Moreover, given the current situation, as long as they integrate into the dialect community, they will definitely not have to worry about finding a job in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, everyone decisively rejected the temptation to go abroad.

After the ward rounds were completed, Fang Yan told the students to follow Lao Fan and Yuan Qingshan.

He then drove to the Yanjing Hotel.

After Ma Wenying finished her rehabilitation treatment, Fang Yan went to deliver the acupuncture book he had found to Kang Xin, as well as a set of ordinary dragon-handled silver needles.

Kang Xin was quite happy when she received it.

I promise to read it carefully.

The dialect told her to stop experimenting on people unnecessarily.

Actually, Fang Yan didn't want to give it to her at first, since this woman was somewhat obsessed, bold and ruthless, even causing problems for her own daughter.

Fang Yan was really afraid that after she got the needle and the book, she would cause some trouble.

However, one should always keep one's word. A few days later, Fang Yan delivered the gift she had promised.

After delivering the items, Fang Yan was about to go downstairs.

Kang Xin was also going to the hospital to see her daughter, so she was going with Fang Yan.

Fang Yan was speechless. Everyone else's family members were hospitalized and they stayed with them at the hospital, but Kang Xin would come back to sleep and have her assistant stay there to watch over her.

However, her daughter probably also wanted to stay away from her dangerous mother. Without Kang Xin by her side, the little girl was quite happy.

They arrived at Peking Union Medical College Hospital together, and the two went to the inpatient department.

The dialect was used to address Professor Jin Shiyuan, along with six other students from various classes.

Then they went to the outpatient building together.

For some reason, Director Liao and the others hadn't arrived yet, so while Fang Yan and her classmates were tidying up the scene, she asked Professor Jin Shiyuan about the school's handling of the Vietnamese people.

After Jin Shiyuan explained the situation and notified the embassy, ​​they discussed all the details at the school.

The school cited health issues as the reason for their withdrawal.

And they asked their embassy staff to provide psychological support to their students.

Tell them not to cause trouble at school.

At this point, Professor Jin Shiyuan paused, then shook his head:
"It would have been better if we hadn't said anything. After we did, it was like we'd taken the wrong medicine."

"What's wrong?" Fang Yan frowned.

Professor Jin Shiyuan said:
“Those people are restless. They just finished talking to the people at the embassy, ​​and then last night, they almost got into a fight with students from China at the entrance of the dormitory building.”

After finishing speaking, Professor Jin Shiyuan added:

"Oh, right, it's the students in your class who live on campus."

Fang Yan was taken aback and looked at the six classmates who were helping to clean up the scene.

One of them, Wen Guohua, said to Fang Yan:

"Brother Fang, that's true. Those Vietnamese students are third-year students. They deliberately started trouble. Luckily, a counselor saw it and they were pulled away. Otherwise, they would have really fought last night."

Fang Yan frowned. These monkeys seemed to have received a mission and were starting to prepare to return home.
"Who did they offend in the class?" Fang Yan asked.

Wen Guohua said:
"Wang Zhijun and Song Jianzhong."

After saying that, he also said:
“I saw them lined up and deliberately bumped into Wang Zhijun and Song Jianzhong. They also cursed a lot of Chinese. Since there were more of us, we surrounded them.”

"If the counselor hadn't seen it, he would have beaten them to death last night."

Fang Yan nodded thoughtfully. If nothing unexpected happens, this kind of thing will probably happen more often in the future.

PS: I've gained another 100 monthly votes. After finishing this chapter, I currently owe everyone 104000 words.

There will be more this afternoon.
