Chapter 363 Regret
Translation Translation What is the witness of the friendship between France and China?
Translation Translation What is the witness of TM!
The words of the French Foreign Minister directly pushed Gu Lu to the forefront of the storm - the forefront seems to be a derogatory term.
It doesn't matter, let's use derogatory words and praise now.
Being able to become an expert in a certain field means you are mentally determined, and being able to become the ceiling in your field is even more arrogant. I am talking about Professor Liu here.
Therefore, even if Mei Sheng and Jiang Shi called together, he would insist on what he thought.
It wasn’t until the French Foreign Minister’s speech to reporters that Professor Liu’s defense was somewhat broken. Literary writers all pursue freedom from political constraints, but the highest realm of literature is to influence politics. Gu Lu's two articles undoubtedly achieved this.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier if you knew France so well? How could I have prevented you from being on the list if I had told you earlier?” Professor Liu felt regret for the first time in his heart. Because he couldn't even imagine what a cheerful old boy he would be if the literary exchange group led by him could achieve this effect.
Between self-reflection and regret, Professor Liu chose to shirk the blame, "Mei Sheng and Jiang Shi are more than ten years older and have longer resumes in writing. Why are young people so different in the field of short stories? Not an opponent? ”
There is no regret medicine in the world, but there is cold medicine. Gu Lu felt a little cold and asked his "eldest son" Jia Xu to help bring medicine.
"Lu Shen, your name is really useful. There are many times more students submitting papers than we thought." Jia Xu reported on the activities.
“Don’t call me Lu Shen, you have a bit of an accent and I sound like Lu Shen.” Gu Lu waved his hands quickly.
“Okay, half-brother.” Jia Xu immediately changed his words, “The judging panel of our event is going to have a meeting. Brother, when are you free?”
He There are dozens of names for Gu Lu, including "Dad", "Father", "Daddy", "Father", etc. He has mastered more than ten ways to call his father, which is simply "Peking University calls him father".
"Me? You have to ask the teacher about this. I remember that a teacher was invited to the judging panel." Gu Lu said, "In addition to attending classes on time every day, I also write. Especially in the morning, I am basically free."
"By the way, you never go to school early in the morning." Jia Xu remembered.
"Don't talk nonsense, you never go to Zaoba. It just depends on the creative situation, and you will make some adjustments to Zaoba's itinerary." Gu Lu waved his hand, "Don't dare to talk nonsense, if you do this, I will be They attack in groups."
There is a joke that if the Evil Sword Immortal comes to the city for a day, he will go to the university in the morning and the office building in the evening, and he will have enough energy. Because of the students who go to school early in the morning and the social beasts who work overtime, the resentment emanating from the two can destroy the world.
“Okay, brother, stop joking, is it really okay in the morning?”
Gu Lu nodded, "Everything is fine. In the afternoon, I have time on Tuesday and Friday. No need to say more about Saturday and Sunday. As long as you tell me two or three days in advance, you can adjust it."
"No problem. "Daddy, you have to take care of yourself." After Jia Xu finished talking about the business, he left quickly.
Gu Lu feels that if Jia Xu does sales in the future, he will definitely become a gold medal salesman. Why? How thick-skinned must one be to be able to call out "Daddy" to another friend of the same age in public?
He is particularly envious of those who are thick-skinned.
After returning to Beijing, I didn’t forget about serious matters. I found out the exact internship location of my high school teacher, Teacher Gao, and planned to go there in the afternoon. After all, he has stayed in Sijiu City for so many years and can be considered a semi-authentic person.
I asked Professor Lu about the arrangements and learned that there was nothing to do today, so I had to leave the school a few hours early. Take the subway to the Beijing Workers' Stadium. Today there is a grand book exhibition in the North Hall of the Workers' Stadium.
Not long after, Gu Lu took the subway to the north gate of Gongti Station. The scene was very lively, with more than 170 exhibitors. The scale of more than 40 exhibition areas is indeed shocking. No wonder it attracts so many people.
Gu Lu did not come here to publish a new book. He first came to the specially set up comic exhibition area. Harry Potter, Batman, Kuroko's Basketball, Shokaku no Soho, etc.
Even though Kuroko has been serialized for a long time, it is still more popular than Shokugeki. This may be because the theatrical version is about to be released in China during the summer. This news also caused many viewers to call Ye Qingjie again.
“It’s awesome. When I was a kid, I really wanted to visit Fog City No. 8 Middle School. Because Fog City No. 8 Middle School is the only one in the comics, apart from the members of the Age of Miracles, to defeat the protagonist group in the first half. Team.”
"Are you stupid? I believe the things in the comics. I just want to see if the No. 8 Middle School basketball team really trains on slopes. It has a unique dribbling plan based on the undulating mountainous terrain of the foggy city! It looks really strong.”
“?”
There are two college students discussing, they must be college students. Because they were discussing, they even forgot to take the books they bought.
Forgot to ask, have the No. 8 Middle School and Neon High School basketball teams still communicated? Gu Lu returned to No. 8 Middle School mainly for three things: to see the cafeteria, to see the teachers, and to see the magazine club. As a result, Teacher Gao didn't see it, and the publication club disappointed him.
He bought two comics and followed the crowd to another exhibition area. Several exhibition areas here form a second-hand book variety trading market. Don't think it's cheap, the transaction prices of second-hand books in this exhibition area are higher than the original price.
There are many factors that cause the price to rise. For example, things are rare and more expensive, and another example is the author's signed edition. Of course, in terms of the latter, the asking price of modern authors is actually low. No matter how famous they are, the main reason is that the author's survival prevents the price from rising. "Do you know how much it will cost to print a brand new copy of "The Little Prince" in early 2013? The market price is 3,330 per copy! You may not be able to buy it yet."
Gu Lu was interested when he heard this Something happened, and the steps moved closer to the side.
He knows that some valuable books are very expensive. For example, the first and second editions of "Dragon", which were 90% new in the year 21 on Earth, sold for hundreds of dollars, and were wrapped in plastic. A new, unopened version with a four-digit price tag is priceless.
"There are only 100,000 copies of this book in the first printing, and even fewer of them have unopened plastic seals. The price is not expensive. If you think it is expensive, here is an 80% new first edition with the author's signature. It’s only a thousand yuan, so it’s suitable for collection. The price will definitely increase in the future.”
Typically, the author's survival affects the price. Gu Lu thought to himself, I'm really sorry.
A few buyers hesitated, but finally bought the cheaper one.
Soon, Gu Lu saw another situation, the autograph of "Four Signatures" by Conan Doyle.
"?" Gu Lu looked at this older book, which was entirely in English.
"Real or fake, signed by Conan Doyle." Xiao Wei, the young man next to him, muttered.
"Huh?" Gu Lu looked at the muttering person and felt that he looked familiar. He tentatively called out, "Wei Jiao?"
"Who?" The young woman raised her head, maybe a little short-sighted, and narrowed her eyes slightly to observe the person who made the sound. After a second or two, her eyes widened and she recognized The one who spoke out.
"诱辘, my God, such a coincidence?" Wei Jiao was very surprised and lowered her voice. After all, it was a public place.
"What a coincidence. You are also studying in Sijiu City?" Gu Lu asked.
"No, no, I studied in Shanghai, and then came to work in Sijiu City after graduation." Wei Jiao said.
In the huge Sijiu City, you can actually meet your high school classmates. Not counting Zhou Lin and Li Guyuan, who are related, Panda Wei Jiao is indeed the first. After all, as a native of Wudu, he came to the capital from Class 10, or there were not many people who came to the capital to work.
A memory emerged in my mind. Wei Jiao’s first nicknames were Jiaojiao and Jiaozi. It’s almost like the name of a cigarette with a panda pattern. As a result, Panda followed Wei Jiao in high school for three years, but now Gu Lu has truly become a "national treasure" at the French celebration.
Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips. Gu Lu asked, "Want to buy it?"
"I kind of think about it. My boyfriend is a mystery fan and likes reading mystery novels the most. He I’m about to give birth and I want to give him a surprise.” Wei Jiao said, “The price is only 30,000 yuan. I was so hesitant. He bought an autographed book by Agatha before, and I wasn’t sure whether it was genuine or not. . ”
I remember that Panda’s family conditions are quite good. He has been learning calligraphy since he was a child. He just bought it for his boyfriend, so he was really willing to spend money.
"Your boyfriend is lucky." Gu Lu said.
"Hahaha, I'm lucky. After all, he must be good to me, that's why I put so much thought into it." Wei Jiao smiled, the smell of dog food was too obvious.
Although Gu Lu didn’t have any dog food, he had many signatures from famous people at home, such as Professor Yang Zhenning’s handwriting “If there is a will, there is a way”, which was also given to him by Professor Lu to encourage his students.
There are about two to three thousand signed copies of Professor Yang Zhenning on the market, and about seven to eight thousand with the words of blessing. Of course Gu Lu would definitely not buy it, whether out of respect for Professor Yang or Professor Lu. It’s just that the price of celebrity autographs is not as expensive as everyone thinks.
"If it is true, the price of 30,000 yuan is indeed not expensive." Gu Lu said, "But you can read this book again."
"Really?" Wei Jiao believed it, and she immediately withdrew her desired gaze.
"Handsome guy, don't talk nonsense. This book of mine has been authenticated by a professional organization and cannot be fake." The glasses store owner was not happy, because the girl obviously wanted to transfer money via WeChat. Do you know that killing someone's money is like killing your parents?
Gu Lu Xun thought that his voice was quite quiet. In the current noisy environment, no one except Wei Jiao could hear him. Is this boss’s ears so pointy?
“I didn’t say it was fake, I just said I could look at it again, what if there is something more suitable?” Gu Lu explained.
The glasses shop owner raised his voice, "Handsome guy, that's not what you meant by what you just said. You meant to say clearly that the autographed version of "The Four Signatures" is not good. If you don't understand, why do you want it? Randomly giving this young lady wrong opinions?”
Are you using him as a platform? Gu Lu looked around with his peripheral vision, and as expected, people gathered around him. The optical shop owner’s booth instantly became one of the most beautiful ones.
Why is there still "one"? Because someone at the comic booth invited a COSER to cosplay a female comic character. This is really unbeatable no matter what, the precious metals rhodium, cesium and beryllium are the best in the world.
