Chapter 218 More than 13 million

Early the next morning, Xia Yu came to Jiuding Book Publishing Company.

"Boss, you're here!"

Walking into a busy company, Xia Yu saw Gavin Peter, who was obviously in a good mood and couldn't even restrain his smile, Gavin Peter saw Xia Yu's arrival, and immediately trotted over and greeted respectfully.

"Well, how's it going?"

Xia Yu nodded and asked straight to the point.

Hearing Xia Yu's question, Gavin Peter's smile resurfaced again, and said with some excitement: "Boss, the sales situation is very good, it has exceeded expectations, please come with me, and I will show you the detailed real-time data." ”

"Let's go!"

Xia Yu was concise and to the point, and directly asked Gavin Peter to act.

Then, Gavin Peter took Xia Yu into the office, then picked up a record sheet and handed it to Xia Yu, and said in a tone full of enthusiasm and excitement: "Boss, please see, this is yesterday's data record and the company's important data. ”

Xia Yu sat down and looked at it with a hint of anticipation, he wanted to see what kind of results could make Gavin Peter so uncalm and walk a little floating.

At this look, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile, the more he looked at the smile on his face, the more he smiled, and finally clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's really good!"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, although he didn't praise him, Gavin Peter still enjoyed it very much, laughing happily, and the smile from the bottom of his heart couldn't be concealed at all.

This is a real achievement!

Yesterday's sales statistics of "Looking for Qin" surprised Gavin Peter, even if he has worked in the Penguin Group Xiangjiang branch for so many years, he has never encountered such a hot sales situation.

The pre-sale results in seven days were: 343,000 copies of the third volume of the general edition edition, 325,000 copies of the fourth volume, 557,000 copies of the fifth volume, and 8,124 sets of hardcover collector's editions.

So before the new book was released, a total of 1.165 million copies were sold.

Because of this hot pre-sale results, the confidence of booksellers in major channels has been continuously strengthened, and they keep adding new orders to grab goods, and they are worried that there will be no books to sell when the time comes.

Although Gavin Peter repeatedly insisted that the third and fourth volumes each had a million copies in stock, the fifth volume also had 1.5 million copies printed, and the printing efficiency of the company's printing plant could reach 200,000 copies a day.

However, the major booksellers did not believe Gavin Peter's words, since the pre-sale of "Xun Qin Ji" has made it clear that it will definitely make money, and the sales of the first and second volumes of "Xun Qin Ji" have exceeded 1.85 million copies, then the sales data of the next few volumes will definitely not be less than 1.5 million copies, and the fifth volume that has not yet been released will be the most popular, and 1.5 million copies are not safe!

And the pre-sales have already exceeded a third of the inventory each, and the number of people who have not pre-ordered the books will only increase.

The major booksellers are all veterans, and they can calculate an approximate situation for the popularity and sales of a book, so they will definitely not worry about whether "Xun Qin" will not sell.

It is precisely with this consideration that major booksellers have placed large orders, and all the inventory has been pulled away.

The third and fourth volumes of one million copies, as well as the fifth volume of one million copies, were all pulled away, and Jiuding Book Publishing Company did not intend to keep a copy of the inventory, so Gavin Peter had to ask Ma Tengdong for help and ask the printing house of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to help with printing.

And 10,000 hardcover collector's editions of "Xun Qin" were not enough for the major booksellers, and in the end, there was no way, Gavin Peter intervened in the distribution, and also withheld 200 sets for emergencies, and the remaining 9,800 sets were pulled away by booksellers.

In addition, the inventory of the first and second volumes of "Xun Qin" was also pulled away about 150,000 copies.

This is because every time the second half of a book is released, it will always drive the sales of previously published books, and a book as popular as "Xun Qin" will naturally not be without this situation.

Therefore, the shrewd bookseller immediately stocked up on a batch of books in the first and second volumes to prevent the embarrassing situation of having no books to sell.

It is naturally impossible to sell out the books that were pulled away in one day, but because the initiative is on Xia Yu's side, he is required to pay for the order first, and then pull the goods, so the money has all been paid to the account of Jiuding Book Publishing Company.

The retail price of the first to fourth volumes is 4 Hong Kong dollars, and the ex-factory price is agreed to be 3 Hong Kong dollars, and the total number of orders for the four books has reached 2.31 million copies, and 6.93 million Hong Kong dollars have been received.

The retail price of the fifth book was 5 Hong Kong dollars, the factory price was 4 Hong Kong dollars, and the 1.5 million copies printed were also pulled away, and 6 million Hong Kong dollars were received.

In addition, 9,800 sets of hardcover collector's editions were pulled away, with a retail price of 40 Hong Kong dollars, a factory price of 32 Hong Kong dollars, and a payment of 313,600 Hong Kong dollars.

So far, the company's account has a total of 13.2436 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this money is not a profit, and when the time comes, it will have to be used to settle the material costs with the merchants who provide raw materials, and now the money is still pressed and not given.

And this money is also obtained from overdraft for a period of time, after all, so many books, although they will definitely be sold out, it still takes a certain amount of time to sell, and it is impossible to sell them out in one day.

In fact, this is indeed the case, and on the table, the sales reported by the major booksellers are registered.

Although the contents of the third and fourth volumes have been published, after all, they are serialized reading, and many people may have forgotten part of the plot after such a long time, and some people have even missed part of the plot, so the third and fourth books are still selling very well.

In one day yesterday, the entire Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even island countries, sold a small part of the number, with a total of 222,000 copies sold in the third volume, plus 343,000 copies in pre-sale, a total of 565,000 copies were sold.

The fourth volume sold a total of 218,000 copies in one day yesterday, and with the 325,000 copies in pre-sale, a total of 543,000 copies were sold.

The fifth volume sold the most, with a total of 331,000 copies sold yesterday, and with the 557,000 copies on pre-sale, a total of 888,000 copies were sold!

The hardcover collector's edition of "Xun Qin Ji", because the pre-sale reached 8,124 sets, and 1,676 sets of the 9,800 sets that were taken away were sold in real time, but they were gone in the morning, so 9,800 sets were sold out directly.

In addition, 58,000 copies of the first and second volumes were sold, respectively, for a total of 110,000 copies.

Because the pre-sold book was also received yesterday, although it was certainly not finished, Gavin Peter didn't care about it, even if it was sold out, it was counted in yesterday's sales.

So the five books combined, yesterday sold a total of 2.155 million books in one day, directly setting a record that is unattainable for other publishing companies!

The previous record set by Jiuding Newspaper Company, which published the first and second volumes of "Xun Qin Ji", directly increased several times!

The main reason for such a high record is the pre-sale system, in fact, plus seven days of pre-sale time, it is to concentrate the sales of eight days into one day!

It is precisely because of this that it will set an eye-catching sales record!

This record can be maintained for at least one or two decades, and when the people of Xiangjiang live a prosperous life in the future, this record should be surpassed, but presumably, the new record must still be created by Jiuding Book Publishing Company!

Xia Yu firmly believes in this!
