Chapter 2237： Won't refuse

Li Fan was not surprised by Jared's sudden visit. Seeing Jared walking quickly, Li Fan also walked over.

After approaching, Li Fan smiled and said, "Old friend, welcome you."

Afterwards, the two exchanged greetings for a while.

After the greeting, Jared said: "Mr. Li Fan, the size of your farm is more than several times larger than when I came last time. In fact, I'm thinking of taking a good turn."

Li Fan smiled and said, "If this is the case, then I will accompany Mr. Jared for a good walk."

Jared said: "Thank you Mr. Li Fan, this is definitely a good idea."

Then, the two began to take a walk in the farm.

While walking and talking, the content of the conversation is naturally indispensable, about the Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection published by Jared Sound Publishing House.

The story of Detective Sherlock Holmes has been over for some time, but "Detective Sherlock Holmes" is still selling well.

Both Jared and Li Fan made a lot of money.

Speaking of "Holmes Detective Collection", Li Fan smiled and said: "Mr. Jared, if I expected it, the main purpose of the husband's visit this time should be for "Detective Di Renjie."

Jared laughed and said, "Exactly, Mr. Li Fan will create detective works again. This is definitely a great happy event."

Li Fandao: "But Mr. Jared should know that "Detective Di Renjie" is a koan-type work set in the Tang Dynasty of our country. It is different from "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" in many respects. Mr. Jared is sure of this. Interested in works?"

Naturally, Li Fan said this deliberately. He wanted to see Jared's views on this work. He naturally knew that this work would be equally popular in the West.

Mr. Gao Luopei's "The Case of the Great Tang Di Gong" perfectly proved this point.

Although "Da Tang Di Gong An" was written by the Westerner Mr. Gao Luopei, its cultural background, narrative techniques and other aspects are completely typical of Chinese koan works, without the slightest shadow of western detective works. .

Then, "Datang Di Gong An" can sell well in various western countries, and so can the "Detective Di Renjie" written by Li Fan now.

Li Fan guessed from the beginning that Jared was probably here for "Detective Di Renjie".

This is indeed the case now.

Jared laughed at what Li Fan said, and said: "Yes, Mr. Li Fan, of course I am sure I am interested in this work. I know that "Detective Di Renjie" is a koan-type work in your country, which is similar to that of the West. There is a big difference in the writing techniques of detective works, but the essence of the detectives is the same. I have asked someone to translate and read the first case of "Detective Di Renjie". I think Di Renjie’s charm is not in Sherlock Holmes. Next. They are all the best detectives. Moreover, reading this work can also give you a very in-depth understanding of the history and culture of your country in the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, people in many western countries are familiar with the history and culture of your country. Has a very strong interest. Therefore, I believe that "Detective Di Renjie" will be welcomed by readers in various western countries. Of course, the main reason why I am so sure is that this is the work of Mr. Li Fan. Facts Above, now Holmes fans in various western countries have already known that Mr. Li Fan is creating detective work "Detective Di Renjie" again. Their desire to see this work is already very strong."

"Oh? Those Sherlock Holmes already know?" Li Fan didn't know this. He hadn't paid much attention to the dynamics of those Sherlock Holmes fans recently.

Jared laughed and said: "I already knew it. In fact, they knew about it before the "Detective Di Renjie" began serialization. The major event of Mr. Li Fan's re-creating detective works is something the media of various western countries have done. The report may not be much later than the Chinese media."

Li Fan nodded, not surprisingly. Because of the great influence of Sherlock Holmes, the news that Li Fan re-created detective works will indeed arouse the attention of various western countries in the first place.

The reports of those national media may not be as late as the Chinese media, but Li Fan hasn't paid much attention to it recently, so I don't know much about it.

Then, Jared said again: "Mr. Li Fan, our Sand Press wants to publish "Detective Di Renjie". I don’t know if Mr. Li Fan is willing? Of course, the conditions are Mr. Li Fan open whatever the conditions are. We at Sand Press agree."

"Oh?" Li Fan said with a smile, "Mr. Jared seems very optimistic about the market prospects of this work."

Jared said: "This is natural. I can't say that this work can sell as well as "The Sherlock Holmes", but it will definitely not be worse."

Li Fan nodded. Because of the surprise of the cultural background and writing technique, "Detective Di Renjie" really can't sell "The Sherlock Holmes Collection", but the gap will definitely not be too big.

Of course, although Mr. Gao Luopei’s "Digong Digong An" has been popular in many Western countries, its sales volume is still far from that of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" and cannot be compared.

But the situation is different now. Now Li Fan is the author of "The Sherlock Holmes", which has laid the most solid foundation for the sale of "Detective Di Renjie".

"Detective Di Renjie" has not been officially released in the West, and readers in various Western countries have a strong desire to read it.

Its sales foundation is countless times stronger than that of the previous "Digong Di Gongan" written by Mr. Gao Luopei.

Furthermore, when Mr. Gao Luopei's "Datang Di Gongan" was published, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" had been published for decades, but now it is different.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Fan himself, the book fans in various western countries, expect Li Fan to create detective works again. The intensity is by no means lower than that of Chinese book fans.

Now, Li Fan has finally created detective works. Although it is not a detective work with a Western background, this is not a big problem for book fans in Western countries. As long as it is a detective work created by Li Fan, whether it is Western The background, or the Chinese background, is enough to excite them.

At most, it is a little regret. If you still take the Western world as the background, it will be even more perfect.

This is actually the main reason why Jared is so optimistic about the sales prospects of "Detective Di Renjie".

When Jared wanted to publish "Detective Di Renjie", Li Fan would naturally not refuse. He originally planned to publish "Detective Di Renjie" in Western countries. He wanted to let fans in those Western countries know that there is also a detective in China, whose strength is by no means under Sherlock Holmes. In some respects, he even had It.

He wanted Di Renjie to become a world-renowned detective just like Holmes.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a tribute to Mr. Gao Luopei's "Datang Di Gong An".

As for the publishing conditions, since Jared asked Li Fan to mention them casually, he agreed no matter what the conditions were. Moreover, Li Fan knew that Jared really thought so sincerely.

Then, Li Fan didn't plan to mention any excessive conditions. Everything was done in accordance with the standards of "Detective Sherlock Holmes".
