Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 975 971. Review of "National Beer"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend a novel about beer to you.

"National Beer", Sima Baishan, level 4 author.

Category: Urban-Urban Life.

【Introduction】

As the reforms took hold, the beer industry took the lead in the national economic restructuring and was listed as a priority for short-term product development. In a short period of time, breweries sprang up all over China.

In this age of beer and in the beer world, 813 breweries are surging amidst the fierce competition for supremacy, expansion and integration.

With China's accession to the WTO, foreign beer flooded the market, casting a dark cloud over the Chinese beer industry. Chinese and foreign beer companies battled fiercely for supremacy in this red ocean of 1.3 billion people...

The beer market was originally known for being small, scattered and chaotic. In the evolution of the struggle for hegemony amidst wars and chaos, there were the defeat and rise of "princes", the invasion and withdrawal of "barbarians", and also the creation of national beer brands by "hegemons", taking up the banner of the national beer industry!
Over the past three decades, China's beer industry has embodied all the factors that have contributed to the evolution of China's business environment: the ins and outs of foreign investment, competition and acquisitions by local enterprises, the fierce competition for terminal channels, acquisitions and counter-acquisitions by capital, the battle of wits and courage among leaders, and the exploration and reconstruction of brand value chains...

No other industry more clearly encapsulates the past, present, and future of China's commercial competition...

This book won the first prize in the 5th Reality-themed Online Literature Writing Competition.

【Brief Comment】

He has five books under his name, including "The Great City Era", none of which is a masterpiece.

This shows that his book has not been fully recognized by the market, although "National Beer" is an award-winning work.

The origin of this book is very interesting.

The author found me directly and asked me about the advantages and disadvantages of this book.

After seeing his author level, I was silent.

I think he might be here to mess things up!

A level 4 author asks a level 1 author for advice. Who has the problem?

After trying it, it did make me think a little bit.

This is a period novel that tends to be realistic.

The protagonist Qin Dong was the boss of a top domestic brewery in his previous life. He was reborn in the 1980s and worked as a bottle washer in a small brewery as a temporary worker.

The family conditions were very poor. His father had passed away, and his young stepmother was raising him and his sister.

At the age of 17, he became the family's income earner, 36 yuan a month.

The beer bottles in the factory could never be cleaned. The protagonist pointed out that the different water temperatures in different links caused the bottles to break easily, and he received a reward of 10 yuan.

The chief engineer from another province came to the factory for guidance, but was unable to completely solve the problem of bottle labels not being able to be washed off. The protagonist drew a blueprint and, with the help of the deputy factory director, built a simple machine in three days that completely solved the problem.

He also applied for a patent and rejected the chief engineer's recruitment, which led to the factory leaders wanting to embezzle his patent fees.

After all, 10,000 yuan was an astronomical sum in that era. Later, the protagonist started his own company and began to compete with domestic and foreign breweries. While strolling in Yangzhou, he was unexpectedly spotted by the crew and asked to play a groom.

The author came to me and wanted to ask if there was anything wrong with the book and why the data was so bad?
In fact, many readers also gave their own opinions.

The first is the issue of subject matter.

Beer is a niche subject, with few people writing about it, making it seem novel.

But why are there so few people writing? The main reason is that there are so few people reading.

This kind of realistic subject matter, without any external plug-ins, will appear very ordinary and bland, and will not be able to quickly create the excitement of online literature and make readers excited.

The author's writing style is actually very good, he has put in a lot of effort, and he writes very seriously. He has clearly organized the story lines of beer development, technological innovation, and the competition among the heroes. The conflicts and problems between the characters are also explained, and the foreshadowing is also very logical.

However, it is written in a more serious, solemn and disciplined manner.

It's like a very regular published novel, without any dramatic conflict points. Even the big scenes like technological innovation and conquering cities and territories don't have a clear process.

The plot of how the protagonist overcomes difficulties and slaps everyone in the face is written relatively briefly, as if it is just mentioned in passing, without giving the readers a strong conflict.

This type of subject matter tests the reader's tolerance, and it is indeed difficult to expand the audience.

At the very least, those who don't like drinking, want to read love stories, want to read invincible face-slapping movies, want to read light-hearted and funny stories, etc., are not the target audience of this book.

In addition, the details need to be improved.

Details are not about keeping a diary or writing news, but about seeing the big picture from the small details. A habitual action of the protagonist may add a lot of luster to the book.

Furthermore, regarding the direction of the new book, I think the most important thing is to check the charts. The prerequisite is to find an area that you enjoy and excel in. It's okay to follow the trend, but find a hint of it and write in your own style.

So, I think the author can continue to write rebirth novels.

With a touch of invincibility, it uses large amounts of content and a simple and crude approach to deliver a steady stream of excitement to the readers' hearts, instead of being entangled in emotions and getting stuck in various unpopular areas.

You can learn from Laoying's frequent updates. Use voice typing, focus on quantity first, then quality, and build your reputation. Incorporate more reversals and chapter-breaking techniques to whet the reader's appetite, first playful, then heartfelt.

In short, I'm just talking casually and you can listen casually!

that's all.

【to sum up】
