Chapter 86: Rising Stars in the Reasoning World (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
The daily sales of physical books exceeded 10,000!
This is a result that mystery novels have not achieved for many years, and now it has been realized in a fanwork written by Zhang Chu!
In the editorial department of Nanhai Publishing Company, Gu Xinxue's face was about to laugh, it was definitely a good move to sign Zhang Chu by himself, and now he couldn't wait to report to the editor-in-chief, and strive to send the task of printing as soon as possible.
There are only a handful of new writers in China who can reach this level in their debut works.
Although suspense mystery novels are very unpopular, the more unpopular they are, the more they can highlight the rare sales of "Sherlock".
In the group of mystery writers, those people were shocked again.
"A few days ago, I thought that "Sherlock" would sell hundreds of copies and show its original form, but it turned out to be a big hit today. ”
"There are talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and this year it is Zhang Chu's turn. ”
"The physical book sold 18,000 copies, and the electronic version sold 25,000 copies, which should be the best sales result of our mystery novels in the past five years, and this is just one day!"
"It's terrible, this station is really powerful. ”
"It's not like no one has been on these shows before, but sales haven't necessarily exploded. I think ah, the main thing is that Zhang Chu is very interesting, and he remembers him alone in the whole show, and the rest of the people can't even name him. ”
"It's the strongest newcomer in our reasoning world, right?"
"It's also a strong contender for the newcomer of the year, and it's only August, and if he keeps the momentum going, his book will sell more than 100,000 copies. ”
The first printing of 100,000 copies was sold out within a month, and even though Nanhai Publishing Company had prepared a lot of inventory, it still received orders from different distributors, including Xinhua Bookstore.
This is the largest bookstore in the country, you can bully the publishing house to your heart's content, take the goods at the lowest price, and then return the money at the slowest speed, and at the same time the books that can't be sold can be returned to the publishing house.
Private bookstores like Han Lin Xuan can only take goods from secondary wholesalers, so the prices are naturally higher, and it is difficult for them to grab the supply when the market is out of stock.
Just like now, before the 50,000 copies of "Sherlock" were printed out of the printing house, they had already been divided by Xinhua bookstores in different provinces, as well as large book buyers such as Dangdang and Amazon, and only a few thousand copies were handed out to distributors.
The big bookstores are obviously the most dominant, and those small and medium-sized bookstores can't get the goods at all.
The inventory on Hanlinxuan's side was sold out early, more than 20 physical books, plus Zhang Chu's signature, sales were not a problem at all.
"Don't you have Sherlock here? I asked at the largest bookstore in Jiangcheng, and they said that if there is another place in Jiangcheng that has this book, it must be in your bookstore. ”
A little fat man with glasses repeatedly asked Zhang Bowen, he was originally a Sherlock Holmes fan, and after downloading "Sherlock" on the Internet and reading it, he really wanted to buy a collection to see, who would have thought that this book would become so popular.
Originally, no one cared about it, but now he can't buy it, as an otaku, he must first look for cheaper books on the Internet, not only with discounts, but also directly delivered to his home.
It's a pity that "Sherlock" in Dangdang, Amazon and other places is out of stock!
So he could only go out early in the morning when the sun was not hot, and after running two or three bookstores, he didn't even buy the goods.
I don't know how many people came to ask Zhang Chu about the book, Zhang Bowen couldn't help but spread his hands, "I'm very sorry, our side was sold out yesterday." The dealer couldn't get the goods, and I didn't have a problem. ”
The little fat man pursed his lips and complained, "Isn't this a bookstore opened by Zhang Chu's family?
That's probably the way it is. ”
Zhang Bowen was also uncomfortable, this was a business in hand, but it flew away.
"Alas, your preparation is too inadequate, such a good book can be sold at a glance, but the printing follow-up goods are only so little, it is really visionless. ”
The little fat man turned around and left after criticizing for a while, and Zhang Bowen touched his chin, and he went directly upstairs to find his son to solve the problem.
……
"Why are you looking for me?"
Zhang Chu, who was writing the finale of "Psychological Crime-City Lights", looked confused, he was writing about Jiang Ya "killing" Fang Mu, but his father came to him to ask for the physical book of "Sherlock".
Zhang Bowen said confidently: "Because you are my son, because you are the author of this book, now there are many people in the bookstore who come to inquire every day, and the dealer can't get the goods, otherwise you can contact the publishing house?"
There was no room for refutation of this reason, Zhang Chu could only accept his fate, he patted his forehead, and said, "Okay, I'll ask the editor, but I can't guarantee if I can get it." ”
"Anyway, you are now a rising star in the reasoning world, and the editor will still give you this face. ”
Zhang Chu also knew the rumors on the Internet, and he accepted such a name shyly.
At this time, it happened that Gu Xinxue was online, so Zhang Chu knocked on an expression and asked his father about it.
"Is editor Gu busy at this time? I want to ask your publishing company to buy dozens of copies of the book "Sherlock", can I?"
Gu Xinxue was reading Zhang Chuwei's serialized psychological crimes on the blog at this time, he spent money to buy each chapter, and after seeing the jumping avatar in the lower right corner of the desktop, he replied: "Yes, how many copies?"
Zhang Bowen immediately poked Zhang Chu's back, "How many count, it seems that they have a lot of inventory." ”
"How about giving me a hundred copies? Just give me the market price, my bookstore is out of stock......
Gu Xinxue, who was on the other side of the computer, suddenly laughed, and then he remembered what the news report said that Zhang Chu's family really opened a bookstore, "In this way, I'll go to the distribution center to try to adjust it for you, and now the printing house has just finished printing, and it sells quite well." ”
The first time I saw such a powerful rookie writer, the marketing plan of their publishing company had not yet been Zhang Chu's turn, and as a result, Zhang Chu himself went to appear on a TV show, which made the sales explode.
"Thank you, Gu Bian, next time we meet, please have a big sword. ”
It's purely that he is used to saying on the Internet, Zhang Chu sent the news out at once, but he didn't expect his father to stand behind him, is it too late to withdraw the news at this time?
Zhang Bowen looked at his son with a complicated expression, "Da Baojian, you better find a girlfriend, I don't want to see you appear in the legal news one day, when I refuse to take money to ransom people." ”
"Dad, I'm just talking, I'm pure!"
Zhang Chuyi said rhetorically, he has never been to that kind of place in his life, okay, at most, he looked at the door curiously, and he definitely didn't have the idea of going in, he promised.
Fortunately, at this time, Gu Xinxue replied to the news and temporarily saved Zhang Chu.
"Send me your personal information, and I'll try to coordinate with the distribution center to see if I can let you get the goods from Jiangcheng Xinhua Bookstore, which can save some time, after all, it will take several days for the express delivery." ”
