At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of September 30, Sun Quan received a call from the editor in charge of Daiyu.

He was coding words at the time, and the new book "Dead Wishes" was being pushed at the starting point, which gave him a sense of urgency to code words, after all, it was strongly pushed and would soon be on the shelves.

And if it is put on the shelves, the update speed must be improved, at least in the first few days on the shelves, it will also be updated, which is an industry practice, and it is also the expectation of many readers for the author.

Therefore, although he currently has a lot of manuscripts in his hands, he thinks that he is about to be put on the shelves and is about to explode, his sense of urgency comes, and it is the most expensive to save manuscripts.

"Hey, beauty, what do you command?"

The phone was connected, Sun Quan casually made a joke, before he was reborn, he didn't dare to talk to his editor-in-charge like this, mainly because he didn't have that confidence.

But after being reborn, with the good results of the book under his name, he has more and more confidence in his heart, coupled with the money that the company under his name has earned him, as well as the personal relationship with the editor in charge, his attitude towards the editor in charge has naturally changed.

It's not that you are condescending and start looking down on the editor-in-charge, but subconsciously feel that there is no need to be nervous.

He doesn't need to curry favor with the editor-in-charge in the hope that the editor-in-charge will give him additional referrals.

And the editor-in-charge will not affect his future and life.

It's that simple.

Daiyu: "Aren't you QQ online?" I just sent you a few messages, and I haven't waited for your reply, so I specially called you. ”

On the phone, the tone of the fish is also quite casual.

Sun Quan smiled, when coding words, it has long been his habit that QQ is not online.

"Well, it's not online, what do you want, you say!"

Ribbon fish: "Hehe, I can't talk about it, it's like this, tomorrow is October, I have arranged for you to put it on the shelves tomorrow, the exact time is after 12 o'clock tonight, when it's time, I'll open it for you, if you have a manuscript in your hand, it's best to send a few chapters as soon as it is opened! Well, that's it." ”

On the shelves early tonight?

Sun Quan is not surprised, some things, according to his years of experience, are no different from Ming.

His book was released on August 24, and since the day of its release, there has been a large number of updates every day, and as a result, the free new book period of the book has been greatly shortened.

According to the practice of the starting point, new books with good enough data in the free period, as well as some new books of great gods, are generally arranged to be on the shelves at the beginning of each month.

Its purpose is mainly to facilitate these popular works to compete for the new book monthly ticket list, and even the monthly ticket list.

Otherwise, if it is arranged in the middle of the month, or at the end of the month, even if the new book is strong, it will be more difficult to compete for the ticket list in those two months.

This is not a good thing for the author himself, nor is it good for the starting point itself.

After all, the starting point is to hope that the competition for the monthly ticket list and the total monthly ticket list every month is fierce enough.

The competition between these two lists is fierce enough to prove that the popularity of the starting point is high enough, and at the same time, it can also mobilize more readers to participate in the activities of voting for monthly tickets, and some monthly tickets require readers to spend money to reward in exchange.

These are all important for the starting point.

In the past, almost none of his grandson's books were scheduled to be on the first day of the month, but that can't be blamed on the editor, nor can the website be blamed.

can only blame him Sun Quan for not carefully choosing the time to send the book, resulting in the full set of recommended places in the free period running out, it was still very early at the beginning of the month.

In that case, what can the editor in charge do?

In addition to arranging for him to be on the shelves in the middle of the month, he can only let him agree to write for free for half a month before putting it on the shelves.

And his grandson is not willing to greatly extend the free new book period in order to get it on the shelves at the beginning of a month.

But this time, the release time of "The Wish of the Dead" is relatively good, especially combined with the fact that his new book is updated quickly enough, and the combination of the two, its release time can be made up to the first day of the month.

It's a coincidence, a nice coincidence.

A week or two ago, Sun Quan himself guessed that the book would be on the shelves, and it should be scheduled for the beginning of October.

"Okay, I see, thank you Beauty!"

"You're welcome! Hehe, I wish you an explosion of data on the shelves! Now everyone in our editorial department is waiting to see the first order of your book on the shelves! Everyone is guessing whether the first order data of your book can break the record, or how far it can raise the new record! Come on!"

On the phone, Daiyu lowered his voice, as if he was whispering to Sun Quan.

Sun Quanneng felt the expectation in her heart from her tone.

As his editor-in-charge, Daiyu and him have a prosperous relationship, and he can fully understand her expectations.

"Oh, thank you! I hope it won't disappoint you. ”

Regarding the first order data of this new book, he still does not have enough confidence in his heart.

The main reason is that the number of collectors of this book is too high, and it is currently as high as more than 440,000 people, and if the subscription ratio when it is put on the shelves can be 10 to 1, the number of people who have ordered the first book can break 40,000......

But is it possible?

What is the highest first order record at the starting point?

Now is not the two years before his rebirth, the first order data record in the online literature circle is not so exaggerated, he is not very clear about the first order record of the current starting point.

But according to his estimates, it is probably only one or two thousand, and it may be less than twenty thousand.

This is the highest record.

He is confident that the first order of "Dead Will" will break the record, but he can say that he can double the original record......

Whoever else you are, I'm afraid you don't have that much confidence in your heart, right?

"Well, no! Old Sun, I believe in you! Come on!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Well, that's it, I'm hanging!"

"Well, bye!"

"Bye!"

......

At the end of the call, Sun Quan couldn't connect to the code word status just now, lowered his head and thought about it, opened the drawer, took a cigar out and lit it, took a puff, opened the author's background at the starting point, and looked at the collection data behind "The Wish of the Dead", the number starting with 44 not only made him proud, but also made him feel empty.

There were more than 440,000 collectors before it was put on the shelves, and this data is quite empty no matter how you look at it, before his rebirth, he hit the street for more than ten years, and only the book "My Decathlon" was on the shelves a few months later, and he collected 40,000 and broke 50,000.

And now his "Wish of the Dead" has more than 440,000 collectors before it is put on the shelves.

It was an unprecedented experience for him, a height he had never reached.

So he wasn't sure how much water was in the more than 440,000 collectors, and with such a high number of collectors, could the subscription ratio when it was put on the shelves really reach 10 to 1?

Could it be that when the number of people increases, the proportion of paid subscriptions will drop significantly?

No one could give him an answer, he had to wait.

Wait for the results to come out.

......

The sun flies, the years are like a shuttle, time is like an arrow, and it is ...... A few hours passed.

Not long after nightfall, Sun Quan, who had already had dinner, and his daughter-in-law Yuan Shui Qingtong made a video.

In the video, Yuan Shuiqing is holding half a dragon fruit in his hand and a small spoon in the other hand, and is feeding his daughter Sun Jiexin spoonful by spoon.

This dragon fruit is red-hearted.

The flesh is as red as blood, Sun Jiexin's small mouth has long been red, but she is very happy, every time the spoon has not been handed to her mouth, her small mouth is like a bird waiting to be fed, and her mouth is wide open and waiting.

But that doesn't stop the couple from making small talk.

Yuan Shuiqing lowered his head and scooped the pulp with a spoon, and asked casually: "Tomorrow's National Day, how are you going to spend it? Do you plan to go anywhere to play? Or find Kuang Longfei and they drink together at night or something?"

Play?

Sun Quan smiled dumbly, and sighed: "The earth will not explode, we will not take a holiday, my new book will be on the shelves in the early hours of tonight, do you say I will have time to go out to play tomorrow? I don't have time to drink! Moreover, even if I have time, I am not in the mood, on the first day of the shelves, I will definitely stare at the author's background subscription data, do you think I am in the mood to play?"

Yuan Shuiqing fed her daughter another spoonful of pulp, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes to look at him a little unexpectedly, and smiled slightly, "That's because you have a bad mentality, you can't blame others!"

Sun Quan smiled bitterly, "Yes! It's really a matter of mentality, but seriously, it's on the shelves this time...... I was really a little nervous, I didn't expect to be nervous after writing a book for so long, and a new book came on the shelves. ”

Yuan Shuiqing chuckled, lowered his head and continued to dig the pulp with a spoon, and said casually: "What are you nervous about? Even if it's marriage...... If you have more times, you won't be nervous, right? Besides, we don't have to live on your manuscript fees now. ”

Her parable is ...... Sun Quan glanced at her amusedly, "That's the truth, but this time the situation is still a little different from the previous times......"

Yuan Shuiqing raised his eyes slightly, "What's the difference?"

Sun Quan: "Didn't I tell you two days ago! Now the number of collectors of this book has exceeded 400,000...... I hope to have 40,000 or 50,000 first orders, but I'm a little afraid that in the end there will only be 10,000 or 20,000 first orders.

Yuan Shuiqing fed her daughter another spoonful of pulp, and when she heard this, she didn't respond immediately, but frowned and thought about it, turned her face to look at him again, and silently counted a few seconds before smiling and saying, "I can probably understand a little! Then I'll sleep late tonight, and I'll accompany you to see the first order data when the time comes?"

Sun Quan shook his head, "That's not necessary! It's on the shelves in the early hours of tonight, you better go to bed early! Don't stay up late with me, I'll tell you about the first order tomorrow." ”

Yuan Shuiqing smiled, "Okay, I'll try, but if I haven't fallen asleep by then, let's start the video again, and I'll accompany you to wait for the first order of data then, okay?"

Sun Quan didn't object this time, and snorted, "Okay! If you don't fall asleep by then, then watch it together." ”

......

The years are like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, another few hours have passed.

It was ten o'clock in the evening.

It's only been more than an hour since it was put on the shelves, and it stands to reason that with Sun Quan's hand speed, he can still code another chapter of the manuscript, but he can't calm down to code words.

All sorts of thoughts came to my head.

For example: If the first order data exceeds 40,000, what will the authors and readers in the circle say?

Or, if the first order of the book is still only about 10,000, what will the outside world say about me?

And also...... If the first order can have forty or fifty thousand, updated at my current hand speed, how much is the pure subscription fee here for a month?

Wait a minute!

All kinds of chaotic thoughts popped up in his mind uncontrollably, disturbing him, and he couldn't do it without thinking nonsense.

After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, he suddenly got up, grabbed the wallet and mobile phone on the table and walked out of the study, went downstairs and went out.

Soon, the sound of a car engine roaring outside the door was heard, and he drove down the mountain.

About an hour later, outside the courtyard gate, the BMW he drove out came back, and when he got out of the car, he had an extra takeaway in his hand.

In the middle of the night, when the new book was about to hit the shelves, he actually drove out to buy takeout?

Back at the villa, he strode to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took two bottles of cold beer, and returned to the upstairs study with takeout and beer, and returned to the computer.

At this point, it was almost 12 o'clock.

He had already hung up on QQ online before he went out, and he had already received countless private messages, and his QQ avatar flashed non-stop.

Like a seaweed, dancing in the waves.

He didn't rush to read the private messages, but exhaled and opened the takeaway bag, revealing a red, fragrant spicy crayfish inside.

The boiled red crayfish are soaked in the red soup, and there is a layer of red oil floating on the surface of the soup, and in the red oil, there are a little white sesame seeds, and the surface of the crayfish is sprinkled with a lot of garlic and coriander leaves.

He went to buy crayfish.

By the way, there are a few big red Chinese characters printed on the bag - Raging Crayfish.

It should be the name of the store.

casually opened a bottle of cold beer, Sun Quan poured himself two sips of beer first, and then went to pick up the crayfish in the bag with one hand, held the computer mouse with the other, and clicked on the private messages on QQ.

The handsome Wen Hao: "Old Sun, it's almost time, how is it? Are you excited? By the way, how many manuscripts do you have in your hands now? Tell me quietly! I promise to help you keep it secret." ”

Glancing at the content of this message, Sun Quan continued to click on the next private message, he planned to read all the private message content, and then reply in a centralized manner.

This bread is so familiar: "Old Sun, in order to wait for you to be on the shelves today, in order to support you, I am sleepy, do you know how much I have yawned? I have eaten a few more breads, let me tell you, if there are fewer chapters on the shelves tonight, you will be sorry for me!"

Love Snow ZQ with the wind: "Author, how many monthly passes do you plan to add a chapter this time?100?300?500? ”

Dayu: "Do you know how many people are waiting for your book to be on the shelves tonight? Anyway, I'm waiting to read it!"

Dayu: "Why don't you speak? Don't tell me you're on the shelves tonight, and it's not online yet!"

Dayu: "Huh? You haven't replied yet, aren't you? You really haven't gone online yet? It's almost on the shelves, why don't you go online and go to the book fan group to contact everyone about your feelings? Do you still want them to give you the first order support?"

Dayu: "Damn, you really haven't been online, your heart is too big, right? Don't tell me you've slept......"
