Nine a.m.

It has just been 3 hours since "Breaking the Sky" was launched simultaneously across the country.

Editorial Department of Huashu Publishing House.

Editor-in-chief Jiang is being "questioned by Xingshi".

The people who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt were the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department and the president of the publishing house.

The president frowned and looked at Editor-in-Chief Jiang and said, "Little Jiang, you are a little greedy this time. "Breaking the Sky" I know is very popular now, and electronic sales have repeatedly broken records, with sales of 2.24 million on the first day of listing, and daily sales of about 250,000 every day since then. This time, our publishing house bought the exclusive physical publishing rights of "Breaking the Sky", and I also agree. ”

"But ......," the president said, "After all, "Breaking the Sky is an Internet, and no publishing house has ever published it on the Internet before, so I am not optimistic about its sales." Even if the sales of the electronic version can drive a number of physical sales, how much can it sell? This time, you are arrogant and directly order a first printing of 500,000 copies, which is really too risky. If the sales are not good, the 500,000 first prints will all be smashed in your hands. ”

"Yes. "The deputy editor-in-chief has always wanted to squeeze the editor-in-chief Jiang down, and climbed up to remove the word 'deputy' by himself, so this time he deliberately brought the president to find fault, "Editor-in-chief Jiang, I have reminded you twice that it is enough to have a first printing of 100,000 copies, but you just don't listen and go your own way." Now that "Breaking the Sky" has been officially released, if the first printing of 500,000 copies cannot be sold, who will be responsible for this loss? Do you want our publishing house to pay for your willful and reckless behavior?"

Editor-in-Chief Jiang looked at the deputy editor-in-chief's fake tiger appearance, and secretly sighed in his heart, but his face did not leak, "President, I have done research on the market during this time, and I think that the first printing of 500,000 copies is the most reasonable. ”

"There are not 100 publishing houses in Huaguo, but there are still 80. Our Huashu Publishing House can also rank around 20. Compared with those publishing houses in the previous rankings, we do not lack anything in terms of software and hardware, but we lack a popular book! If our publishing house can publish a popular book, it will definitely be famous in the industry, and it is not impossible for the ranking to rise. ”

"It's like our old rival Huayang Publishing House, which was filmed behind us before, but because it published the latest masterpiece of first-line writer Yuan Wei a week ago, it became a hit, with sales of more than 800,000 copies on the first day, which directly led to the fame of Huayang Publishing House, and now it surpasses us and ranks nineteenth. ”

"In my opinion, "Breaking the Sky" is an opportunity for our publishing house! An opportunity to catch up with and surpass Huayang Publishing House!"

"Hehe, I'm really convinced of your brains. The deputy editor-in-chief sneered, "Editor-in-chief Jiang, you said it yourself, Huayang Publishing House leaned on the thigh of the first-line writer Yuan Wei and published his new book with full authority, and the sales exceeded 800,000 copies on the first day, do you think that "Breaking the Sky" can compete with Yuan Wei's 800,000 copies on the first day?"

The president was also noncommittal.

"If you can break your wrist, you will know after trying. Editor-in-Chief Jiang looked at the deputy editor-in-chief and asked, "You don't even dare to try, how can you lead the publishing house to a broader stage?"

"You...... I ......" The deputy editor-in-chief was choked speechless.

The president has a bit of a headache.

At this time, a quick and excited knock sounded on the door, "Editor-in-chief, there is good news." ”

"Come in. Editor-in-Chief Jiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly let the people who reported the good news outside in.

It's her secretary, Xiaoyan.

Xiao Yan rushed in, with an irrepressible look of ecstasy on her face, and even ignored the deputy editor-in-chief and president who were standing aside, and said excitedly to Editor-in-Chief Jiang, ""Breaking the Sky" has been selling like crazy, and it has only been on the shelves for less than three hours, and half of the bookstore suppliers in the country have called us, saying that they have been sold out, let's hurry up and send another batch of books, and wait for them to be sold, and there are still many people who have not bought books waiting in the bookstore." ”

"Really?" Editor-in-Chief Jiang looked happy.

The president and deputy editor-in-chief who stood aside and were ignored were also dumbfounded.

"It's only been three hours, and it's sold out? And the ones that haven't been bought have been waiting to be bought?"

"How can this be? It can't be this way! "Breaking the Sky" sold out in three hours? There must be something wrong. ”

Xiao Yan continued, "Now the people in the department are answering the phone, all of them are book reminder calls from bookstore suppliers all over the country, asking us to send the book quickly, they are still waiting to sell it." ”

Editor-in-chief Jiang suppressed his excitement and instructed, "In that case, what are you waiting for, why don't you send out all the remaining 500,000 first prints in the warehouse." ”

At this time, the president was very glad for the foresight of Editor-in-Chief Jiang, he really blamed her, her vision is indeed vicious, and "Breaking the Sky" has a tendency to become a hit.

Xiaoyan was about to cry, "How can there be any leftover in the warehouse, all the 500,000 first prints have been sent out, and they are all going to be sold out, so bookstore suppliers across the country are so anxious to call and come directly to urge." ”

"What?"

This time, even Editor-in-Chief Jiang was shocked, "All 500,000 first prints were sent out and sold out?"

"yes. Xiao Yan urged, "The marketing department called me and asked if I wanted to print." ”

Reprinting is a big deal, and it is generally necessary to wait for the first printing to be sold out, and then you can consider how many copies to print or reprint according to the results. Now it's the first print that sells out.

"Print, must be printed!" It was not the editor-in-chief Jiang who spoke, but the president.

Xiao Yan noticed that the president was also there, and she ignored the president in a hurry, and immediately bowed to the president in a panic.

"Unexpectedly, "Breaking the Sky" sold out 500,000 first prints in just three hours, this achievement is no longer a question of whether it will become a hit, but a question of how popular it will be. With a smile on his face, the president instructed Xiao Yan, "You immediately call the marketing department, just say my opinion, and ask them to immediately mobilize all the cooperative printing houses in the country to urgently print." ”

Xiao Yan was relieved to see that the president didn't blame her for her ignorance, and then asked, "What about ...... How many more copies do you want to print?"

"300,000...... No, 500,000. The president thought about it for a while and said directly, "Tell the marketing department that 500,000 copies are being printed urgently." ”

"Okay, I'll let you know. Xiao Yan said quickly, turned around and ran out.

There were only three people left in the office.

But the deputy editor-in-chief has wilted at this time, and he no longer has the majesty of the fox and the tiger before.

He knew that he had hit the iron plate this time, and even smashed his front teeth, but he still had to swallow it in his stomach.

There's no way, who made "Breaking the Sky" too cruel, 500,000 first prints can be sold out of stock within 3 hours, what else can stop it from continuing to be metamorphosis on the planet?

The folds on the president's smiling face bloomed, and he smiled at Editor-in-Chief Jiang, "Little Jiang, you still have vision and foresight, otherwise we would have missed a popular book this time." ”

"Well, this time, I'll propose a commendation to you at the board meeting. ”

"Thank you, President. Editor-in-chief Jiang also couldn't suppress his excitement, "That's ...... I'm still a little worried about the marketing department, and I want to go over and supervise it myself. ”

"Hehe, go, go, go. ”

……

Two hours later.

"Breaking the Firmament" was printed in 200,000 copies.

Sold out within an hour!

Another three hours passed.

"Breaking the Firmament" was reprinted with 300,000 copies.

Five hours later it was sold out again.

Reprint!

The first day has passed, and in the end, the sales of the first physical book of "Breaking the Sky" have reached an astonishing 1.08 million copies, breaking the record of 800,000 copies on the first day of the highest physical book sales just set by first-line writer Yuan Wei a week ago!

Upon learning of this result, Editor-in-Chief Jiang was stunned.

The president was stunned.

The deputy editor-in-chief was stunned.

All the employees of the entire Huashu Publishing House were stunned.
