Chapter 180: An Unexpected Bestseller

The National Day is coming as scheduled, some people choose to travel during this seven-day holiday, some people choose to stay at home and laugh at the national blockage, and some people are still at work.

Just when Zhang Chu followed his roommates to taste Sichuan cuisine in Rongcheng and watch the cute pandas, the employees of Nanhai Publishing Company and Menglong Culture Media couldn't get a break!

Because their customers' works have been quietly listed, the first week is the time to rush sales, whether it is online publicity or offline promotional materials, supply needs to be cared about.

Whether the posters of each bookstore are posted, whether the works in the bookstore are placed in a conspicuous position, or whether the newspaper will have book reviews published, each link needs manpower.

Zhou Kang, as Zhang Chu's direct agent, can obviously only work overtime on the National Day, in order to facilitate the coordination with the Nanhai Publishing Company, he came directly to the publishing company at this time.

"Mr. Chen, are we all ready?"

Chen Kai pointed to his computer monitor, "There are still more than 100,000 copies in the warehouse that have not been sent, how can they be enough!"

Due to the super popularity of "Journey to the West Diary" on the Internet, Nanhai Publishing Company decided to print 200,000 copies in one go.

At this time, it has been put on the shelves in large and small bookstores and online bookstores across the country, and some bookstores that have reached cooperation agreements will put their books in the most conspicuous position.

However, Zhang Chu's current status is not enough to conquer those large bookstores, and many good positions are occupied by best-selling authors or discounted works.

Even if the entire publishing company pins the hope of Zhang Chu's first work to break one million on "Youth School", it does not mean that "Journey to the West Diary" should be treated casually.

"Alas, I don't know how much sales are now!" Zhou Kang was a little nervous, "Psychological Crime" had not brought so much pressure before.

……

It seems impossible to come to Rongcheng without visiting Chunxi Road, and it is even more impossible to come to Chunxi Road without visiting Taikoo Li.

The brightly lit Taikoo Li always seems to have the magic to get lost, and the buildings on the ground are all retro types, and they look exactly the same on the left and right.

Zhang Chu and a few people are not interested in luxury brands, and they are not interested in beauty, but they like to look at those snack bars and single product stores.

"There's a Fangsuo bookstore over there, why don't we go check it out?" Yang Ling said, pointing to the distinctive sign not far away.

As students of the Chinese Department of Yan University, Anmi and his family are of course very interested in bookstores, and they are willing to visit them even during their travels.

Of course, Zhang Chu will not object, he said in agreement: "Let's go, maybe you can buy a book to read on the bullet train, and it won't be boring to go to see the Big Buddha and then go to Mount Emei to take a car." ”

At this time, there are many consumers in the bookstore, standing on the edge of the bookshelf to read books, looking at clothes in the clothing area, there are people sitting and drinking tea in the coffee area on one side, and there are even more people selling various notebooks and ballpoint pens.

"This is too exaggerated...... Sun Ruiqi said to herself, "how can anyone still take pictures with a camera!"

Located on the basement floor, Fangsuo Bookstore has one wall after another, like a legendary underground scripture pavilion.

Soft lighting shines on the books on the shelves, making these neatly arranged books extremely attractive.

Although it is not as good as the National Library, its novel shape makes it a cultural complex.

"I'll go shopping first, and we'll see you at the door later!" Yang Ling saw the novelty, and after he finished speaking, he walked towards the wall of books.

Zhang Chu also has this intention, the types of books that everyone likes are different, and there is no need to stick together all the time.

After dispersing, Zhang Chu came to the bookshelf with the words "Fang Bestseller" written on it, and divided them into 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 according to different types.

And next to "Fang Suo's best-selling" is "Fang Suo's recommendation", Zhang Chu saw a familiar cover over there!

Of course, it's not "Journey to the West Diary", but his first work "Sherlock"!

"Hey, old man, you still have a recommendation, it looks like it should sell pretty well. ”

Zhang Chu touched the cover of this book, but didn't open it to see, after all, the content inside was written by him, and there was not much freshness.

Looking around, Zhang Chu wanted to see if his other two books could also be found in this bookstore.

At this time, he took the initiative to ask the staff for help, after all, it was time-consuming to find the vast number of works.

"Hello, may I ask if you sell "Psychological Crime" and "Journey to the West Diary" here?"

The librarian looked very professional, she smiled and said, "Yes, "Journey to the West Diary" just arrived today, please come with me." ”

After she made an invitation gesture, she led Zhang Chu to the suspense reasoning area, where the bookshelf was full of works, and there were several people standing on the edge of the bookshelf reading carefully.

After Zhang Chu took a copy of "Psychological Crime" in his hand, he followed the staff to another book area.

"Eh, I'm still here in the morning!"

The librarian looked at the latest listed bookshelf and muttered to herself in confusion, she turned to Zhang Chu and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll ask." ”

Zhang Chu didn't have to buy it, he just wanted to see how the new book was selling.

"Every day, where are the copies of "Journey to the West Diary" on the side of the place, there is a customer here who wants to buy them. ”

"I'll check the inventory, don't panic. ”

The two girls were chatting in Sichuan-Chongqing dialect, and Zhang Chu could understand it on one side.

"Oh, it's sold out. We only had 10 copies here, and the last one was sold at around 5 p.m. ”

"It's sold well, and it's only in this bag that I'm going to get in. ”

"Who knows, you go and explain it to the other one. ”

Just when Zhang Chu was thinking seriously, the staff came over and said apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, "Journey to the West Diary" is temporarily sold out. ”

"It's sold out, it's sold out!"

Zhang Chu said to himself, his works wish the entire bookstore was sold out, where do you care about those things, "Thank you." ”

"What a weirdo. ”

The staff looked at the back of Zhang Chu leaving, and couldn't help but shake their heads, why is it a good thing that the books they want are sold out?

It's already incredible to sell 10 copies of "Journey to the West Diary" in a bookstore in one day, but it's normal to be in the Fangsuo, after all, the traffic here is quite large, and almost everyone who comes to Taikoo Li will choose to wander inside.

With only a copy of "Psychological Crime" in his hand, Zhang Chu wandered around the bookstore seriously, and finally took two foreign masterpieces to pass the time.

"I really don't know, what the first day of sales is, I have to ask!"
