Chapter 55: Sold Out

In fact, Liu Zixia understands the concerns of Xinhua Bookstore, after all, no one knows how much sales of fairy tale books written by a rookie author will be.

Opening a bookstore to do business, making money is the first priority, no one wants to buy new books, and in the end, a few copies were not sold, and they were lost in the warehouse and eaten by insects.

Yueyue looked at the two hundred copies of "Yueyue's Good Night Story" on the bookshelf, which was sold out in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but say happily to Liu Zixia: "Dad, these little brothers and sisters all like the fairy tale books you wrote!"

Liu Zixia smiled and said, "Yes, but it's useless if they like it, there are so many little stories, and Dad didn't write them into the storybook." ”

"Why?" asked Yueyue with a puzzled blink of her big round eyes.

Liu Zixia winked at Yueyue: "They are not my daughters, why should I tell them the little story I worked so hard to make up?"

"That'...... Can Yueyue listen to it?" Yueyue's eyes lit up, and she looked at Liu Zixia expectantly, "Dad only has one daughter!"

Liu Zixia touched Yueyue's little head and said, "Of course you can! Dad will give Yueyue everything she wants!"

"Hmm!" Tsukiyue smiled contentedly, her eyes curled into a cute crescent.

......

At Xinhua Bookstore on Guangyuan Street, "The Good Night Story of the Moon and the Moon" has been sold out, and "The Story of the Hamster", which is enough for two bookshelves, is rarely bought by the well-known fairy tale author He Bishu.

No way, after watching the fairy tales in "The Good Night Story of the Moon", "The Hamster's Story" completely lost its appeal.

All the people who bought "Yueyue's Good Night Story" have shared and spread on WeChat and Weibo.

The news that "Yueyue's Good Night Story" was on the shelves of major bookstores spread far and wide, and more and more people remembered yesterday's hot topic on Weibo, and remembered the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood' on Chen Yijie's Weibo two days ago.

People couldn't help but be curious and ran to bookstores to buy the book.

However, the bookstore told them that "The Good Night Story of the Moon" had been sold out, or that it had not been included in the book at all.

The same scene happened in Beijing, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and even large and small bookstores across the country.

At this time, the Children's Department of Yihua Publishing House.

All the staff have all acted as customer service for the Jingtao flagship store.

"Yueyue's Good Night Story" Jingtao flagship store release time is nine o'clock.

At 8:50, the entire large office of the children's department of Yihua Publishing House fell silent, and all the staff members stared nervously at the computer screen in front of them.

At nine o'clock, open the shelves for sale!

Ding-dong!Ding-dong!Ding-dong......

At the moment of opening, in the big office, everyone's computers rang almost at the same time, and the Jingtao.com Buyer Edition App downloaded on the computer flashed wildly.

Click on it and ask what kind of courier it is, whether it can be paid on delivery, and when it will be shipped......

The staff hurriedly answered the questions of Jingtao netizens one by one.

"What's the matter, Xiao Zhang didn't call?"

Gao Zhuo, who was walking back and forth in the big office, nervously came to Wang Xiaotong's desk.

"Editor-in-chief, this is just the beginning, and the specific data will have to wait for a while to be counted. Wang Xiaotong said without raising his head, "You are still in the office, waiting for calls from major bookstores." ”

"They?" Gao Zhuo shrugged helplessly, "just fight, and don't supply them." ”

Jingle bells!

At this time, Wang Xiaotong's mobile phone rang, and the phone displayed 'Data Xiaozhang'.

Without waiting for Wang Xiaotong to pick up the phone, Gao Zhuo snatched it away: "Hey, Gao Zhuo of my children's department!"

"Editor-in-Chief Gao, I'm Xiao Zhang from the Data Department!" Xiao Zhang's voice came, "You guys quickly shut down the sales backstage of the flagship store "Yueyue's Good Night Story", 700,000 copies, all of them have been ordered!"

Bang dang!

As soon as Xiao Zhang's voice fell, the mobile phone in Gao Zhuo's hand fell directly to the ground.

"Ah, my phone!" Wang Xiaotong's eyes widened, and he quickly picked up his phone from the ground.

"Hey, hey...... Editor-in-Chief Gao, why don't you speak?" In the mobile phone, Xiao Zhang's voice kept coming.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm Wang Xiaotong. Wang Xiaotong wiped the screen of his mobile phone, "What did you just say?" The editor-in-chief threw away my mobile phone. ”

"I said ......"

"Wang Song, hurry up and close the sales backstage of "Yueyue's Good Night Story", it's about to close!"

Gao Zhuo finally came back to his senses and said with a look of ecstasy: ""Yueyue's Goodnight Story" has been sold out, let's win the bet!"

"What? It's only been five minutes, right?"

"No, it won't!"

"I've just contacted a few buyers from Jingtao. ”

All the staff are confused, what is the situation?

Isn't it said that the books and reading materials on Jingtao can't be sold at all? Why is it that in just two minutes, 700,000 copies of "The Good Night Story of Yueyue" have been sold out?

"Editor-in-chief, I've closed the sales backend. ”

Wang Song is a tall and thin man in his thirties, and he is in charge of the backstage operation of the flagship store of Jingtao Yihua Publishing House, "It's just that we have already sold 50,000 or 60,000 copies, you see......"

"From the remaining 200,000 copies, take out some of them and send them out to netizens. Gao Zhuo waved his hand, "Jingtao.com can't be out of stock here!"

Speaking of this, Gao Zhuo turned his head and said to Wang Xiaotong: "Xiaotong, immediately contact the printing house and print another 1 million copies! In addition, we will send a notice on the flagship store, and the sales will start on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaotong is very excited, this time their children's department has made a beautiful turnaround!

Just when Wang Xiaotong contacted the printing house, the landline next to her computer rang.

Gao Zhuo directly pressed the hands-free button.

"Hey, is it the children's department of Yihua Publishing House?

"Oh, hello, I'm Gao Zhuo, the editor-in-chief of the Yihua Children's Department!" Gao Zhuo raised his eyebrows and replied.

"It's Editor-in-Chief Gao, I'm Guan Xifeng! The 2,000 copies of "Yueyue's Goodnight Story" that I ordered in you have been sold out, do you think you can allocate another 200,000 copies to me?"

The tone on the other end of the line suddenly softened.

Well, from 2,000 volumes to 200,000 copies, it seems that Xinhua Bookstore is in a hurry!

"I'm sorry, we don't have any stock here now!" a smile appeared on Gao Zhuo's face, "Otherwise, Mr. Guan, you will wait a few days? When the new book is printed, I will have someone send it to you." ”

Previously, Xinhua Bookstore ordered 100,000 copies of "The Good Night Story of the Moon" at Yihua Publishing House, but when the news came out from Wutong Publishing House that the book would release a new book on the same day, Xinhua Bookstore decisively abandoned Yihua's order and ordered 500,000 copies of "The Story of the Hamster" from Wutong Publishing House.

You say this, who doesn't hold your breath?

Now you want to book a new book with me? It's too late!

Gao Zhuo is also a temperamental person, Lao Tzu has seen your face in Xinhua Bookstore for more than 20 years, and now it is time for you to see Lao Tzu's face.

"Don't!" Guan Xifeng was anxious, "Editor-in-Chief Gao, you see that we have been in a relationship for many years, why do you have to support me, so let's do it, 100,000 copies, 100,000 copies, okay?"

"Mr. Guan, it's not that I don't help you, it's that there is really no stock. ”

Gao Zhuo said bluntly, "To tell you the truth, there are still 150,000 copies in the library, but these 150,000 copies have already been ordered." Mr. Guan, don't embarrass me. ”

"50,000 copies, how about giving me 50,000 copies first?" Guan Xifeng replied: "In addition, I will order another 2 million copies of "Yueyue's Good Night Story", your "Cat and the Old Man", "Young Wanderings", ...... How about I order 100,000 copies of everything?"

"Mr. Guan, this time, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, I should place your order. ”

Gao Zhuo thought for a while and continued to reply: "By the way, if you think that today's 50,000 copies are not enough, tomorrow we will continue to sell 1 million copies on Jingtao.com, and you can order some more online." ”

"You also opened online shopping?" Guan Xifeng said in surprise, "Can you sell it?"

Gao Zhuo smiled and said: "Mr. Guan, that is, you, if it were someone else, I would never tell him! Today, we are in the flagship store of Jingtao.com, and it has been less than five minutes since the opening of "The Good Night Story of Yueyue", and 700,000 copies have been sold out. ”

"Sizzle!" Guan Xifeng gasped, "Editor-in-Chief Gao, you, you're not joking, are you?"

Gao Zhuo replied: "How can I joke about this kind of thing? If you don't believe it, you can wait until tomorrow to take a look at the data released by the Copyright Society." ”

According to the past practice, if the copyrighted items are sold, they will be counted by the copyright society in real time, because this involves royalty issues, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"Okay, I'll check it out tomorrow. Guan Xifeng answered, chatted with Gao Zhuo for a few more words and hung up the phone.

"Editor-in-chief, it's rare for you to be tough once!"

Wang Xiaotong, who had already put down his mobile phone, looked at Gao Zhuo and laughed, "This Guan Xifeng is the general manager of Xinhua Bookstore, you dare to talk to him like this." ”

"What's this!" Gao Zhuo touched his nose, "Now that he has a request for us, we should let him sober up, without our publishing house, don't they have to drink the northwest wind in these bookstores?"

Wang Xiaotong nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what you say is right!"

......

The transfer of Xinhua Bookstore started at a moment, and then the children's department of the publishing house became a service hall, constantly answering the phone.

"Hey, you said you were from the head office of Dongxin Bookstore? "The Goodnight Story of the Moon" is sold out? Sorry, we don't have any stock here. ”

"Do you want to order 2,000 copies of "Yueyue's Goodnight Story"? Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send it to you right away!"

"Excuse me, your call is late, and the last volume of "The Goodnight Story of the Moon" has just been sold out. ”

The children's department of the entire Yihua Publishing House is busy, everyone is eager to use one person for two people, and the editor-in-chief Gao Zhuo is also completely relieved, looking at the hot sales, he is the guy who eats.
