70. Additional printing
Eighteen thousand copies are obviously just the beginning, and the real sales boom still comes from the end of work after 5 p.m., and the continuous feedback from various bookstores also makes Yanshan Wenhua Publishing House very excited.
By the time everyone got together at nine o'clock in the evening, the sales figures in front of them had more than doubled.
"Sales began at 8 a.m. today, and as of 8 p.m., sales in nine major cities across the country have reached 73,600 copies, of which 41,000 are sold in Kyoto, 5,600 are in Pearl, and 3,300 are in Tsumon......."
The staff stood on the stage and loudly reported to the leaders sitting in the audience, not to mention how exciting a series of figures were, didn't you see that even the editor-in-chief Li, who is not smiling on weekdays, is already smiling at the moment.
"Okay, very good, how long has it been since our publishing house has sold such a high number of works, this is only the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", there are still seven left, as long as this momentum is maintained, there is no pressure at all for this set of books to sell more than one million. When the staff report was over, Editor-in-Chief Li took the lead in standing up and applauding.
"Yes, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" cultivated a group of loyal readers when it was serialized in the newspaper before, but I didn't expect it to be so popular after it was published as a book, and sure enough, good works will never be sold. ”
"That's it, it seems that we will invite Lao Liu to a meal to express our gratitude when we go back, if it weren't for the good publicity that their newspaper did for us in advance, maybe there would really be no such high first-day sales today." ”
"Hahahahaha......"
After Editor-in-Chief Li spoke, the rest of the people present also laughed and talked, and the atmosphere in the conference room was also extraordinarily relaxed, who made the first day of this book so good, a work that has been predictable to sell millions of copies can undoubtedly bring a rare achievement to everyone present, how can everyone be in a bad mood.
"Don't be busy having fun, there's another question ahead of us. Just when everyone was laughing and laughing, Editor-in-Chief Li suddenly stood up and said.
Now everyone is puzzled, what is the problem with this book selling so well?
"A total of 73,600 copies were sold today, and in our previous plan, the total print run of "Exquisite Ancient City" was 200,000 copies, but judging from this first-day sales, 200,000 is obviously unstoppable. ”
The dilemma raised by Editor-in-Chief Li can be called the trouble of happiness, but the trouble is the trouble, and no one dares to guarantee that the number of jù they say is correct as to how much should be printed.
Some mentioned 50,000 or 100,000 yuan, and some directly said that they would double the distribution of 200,000 copies, but these suggestions were very inconsistent and did not help Editor-in-Chief Li make the decision at all.
"Can we ask the **** editor-in-chief of the newspaper that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" has always been serialized in their newspaper, and they should have a deeper understanding of this book, right?"
"Right, ask Lao Liu, he must have a number of jù to help us. ”
"Call now!"
This mention is a point, Editor-in-Chief Li glanced at the person appreciatively, thinking why didn't he think to ask ****, after all, just like that person said, the **** who has been following "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" obviously has the deepest understanding of the potential of this book.
Soon, the **** phone was connected, and Editor-in-Chief Li hurriedly told him about his situation here, and then took the opportunity to raise the questions that bothered him.
"Hahaha, Lao Li, when you printed 200,000 copies, I said that your heart was too small. ”
"Yes, I admit that I was conservative, old man, can you give a build now, we can all wait here. was ridiculed by ****, and Editor-in-Chief Li also admitted it, who let him really 'underestimate' this novel at the beginning.
"Don't laugh at you, if you want to print more, I personally build a minimum of 300,000 to start, I mean to print 300,000 copies on the basis of your 200,000 copies, if there is something that can't be sold, I'll pay for it then!" **** said this with full confidence, and the most important reason is that he is optimistic about the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
When I first heard the million copies sales plan of the whole book formulated by the guys from the publishing house, **** had already privately laughed at the editor-in-chief Li, in his opinion, this achievement was simply a joke, and the whole book was one million copies, if **** became the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, he would definitely formulate a plan for a single million copies.
After all, he is the one who has been growing up with the book since the very beginning, and he has never doubted the potential of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
Hearing the answer given by ****, most of the people in the conference room of the publishing house were silent.
Editor-in-Chief Li hesitated for a long time after thinking about it, and didn't say whether he would accept the **** Jiany, but the **** waiting on the other end of the phone was a little anxious, how could they have such good first-day results, why are these people still hesitating.
Thinking of this, **** suddenly remembered the poem he saw in Zhou Aiguo's office, and immediately said: "Lao Li, do you know, the child who wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" once wrote a poem, and I still remember it, you listen to me read it to you." ”
Speaking of flowers, **** didn't care whether the editor-in-chief Li on the other side was willing to listen to it or not, and directly told the editor-in-chief Li about the song "Jiangchengzi".
After reading the poem, **** continued to persuade: "Lao Li, your previous nickname can be called 'Li Daring', how have you lived in the past few years, why did you suddenly become timid, shouldn't we fight in the face of such an opportunity, imagine that poem, a child has such courage and determination in the face of the future, do we have to be afraid of people who have grown up to be dozens of years old?"
Everyone in the conference room was speechless, and Editor-in-Chief Li was immersed in the artistic conception of the poem, thinking about the enterprising energy he had when he was young, and he also felt a little disgusted with his foresight at this time.
Looking at the dazzling sales figures on the projection screen on the podium, Editor-in-Chief Li gritted his teeth and finally gave the answer.
"Lao Liu, this time I believe you, Yin, give me another 300,000!"
With the words of Editor-in-Chief Li, the printing plant under Yanshan Wenhua Group began to work overtime to produce again, and the sales volume of the following week also proved the foresight of ****, the first printing of 200,000 copies was sold out in less than seven days, and more than half of the additional 300,000 copies have been ordered by bookstores, and the sales of the first 500,000 copies really do not seem to be a dream.
Editor-in-Chief Li now has an additional hobby, that is, sitting in his office chair every day to read sales reports, especially the numbers behind the column of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", every time I read it, it makes the smile on Editor-in-Chief Li's face brighter.
The editor-in-chief is in a good mood, and the overall atmosphere of the publishing house is also a lot more lively, but at this time, there are always some people who can't help but pick out 'naughty tricks'. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
