"Why haven't you come out yet?"

"It should be soon!"

"It's so annoying. ”

Don't think crookedly when you hear this conversation, this is not an inappropriate plot for children, but a few uncles sitting in front of the computer and refreshing the sales figures on October 1.

Zhou Kangdu was about to break the right mouse button, but the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication still did not update the data of No. 1.

Lin Feng, a colleague on the side, yawned, "Lao Zhou, you calm down, the feedback we got from several bookstores is quite good." ”

"Yes, although you can't see the physical sales, the online sales are obvious, and they will definitely not be bad!"

"I hope so. ”

Zhou Kang patted his thigh, he made a simple count of the numbers fed back by several major e-book operators, Amazon was not surprised to be a big head at this time, but Weibo Reading!

"Journey to the West Diary" sold 14,000 copies on Weibo Reading yesterday, and you must know that the online price of this book is as high as 12 yuan.

Amazon, Douban, QQ Reading, Duokan Reading and other channels add up to not have more Weibo reading, which is too amazing!

"Good guys, 23,000 e-books were sold in one day, and Weibo users accounted for more than half. It's really in vain that Zhang Chu has been serialized for free on Weibo for so long. ”

Although Zhou Kang was a little surprised by this number, he was barely within the acceptable range, after all, Weibo was half of Zhang Chu's home field.

The previous "Psychological Crime" and "Journey to the West Diary" were both serialized on Weibo, and Zhang Chu has millions of fans over there!

Almost all of these fans are real, the company did not spend money to help Zhang Chu buy zombie fans, and a writer doesn't need those things to fill the façade at all.

Zhang Chu's Weibo is very active, so the channel of Weibo reading is unbeatable, far more than the rest of the place.

Even if there is no physical sales, only this number is enough to satisfy Menglong Culture Media and Nanhai Publishing Company, selling more than 20,000 e-books a day, there is still no cost, this is completely a sure profit!

"Maybe we're going to have a surprise this week. ”

The corners of Zhou Kang's mouth curled slightly, he really wanted to see how high Zhang Chu's book could go.

……

Jiangcheng, inside the Hanlinxuan bookstore.

Zhang Bowen is pushing a small cart to slowly replenish the shelves, and there are a lot more people in the bookstore during the holiday, and many books need to be restocked.

Originally, the small and fresh bookstore opened a special area for teaching and auxiliary materials and a special area for Zhang Chu's works, the sales of the former were the foundation that supported the entire bookstore, and the latter was purely for private reasons.

In these years, it is actually difficult for physical bookstores to make money, and the reason why Hanlinxuan was able to survive was because this façade was bought by Zhang Bowen and his wife with a low-cost loan, and now of course there is no need for rent!

After the rent is saved, it will be much easier for the bookstore to make money.

Fortunately, now that Zhang Chu has won the top prize, the bookstore business has also become popular, and people from the surrounding neighborhoods are willing to come here to buy books, and even some people have rushed over from other urban areas.

"Lao Zhang, isn't your son coming back for the National Day? I still want to ask him to sign this book, and my son specially called me to ask him for a few signed books. A middle-aged man in a short-sleeved shirt asked.

Zhang Bowen turned his head to look, only to find that Duan Gaojie, the owner of the store selling clothes not far away, replied: "Yes, that kid is going to Emei Mountain for a tour, and he won't come back on National Day." You can only wait for the winter holidays. ”

Duan Gaojie sighed, "It's a bit of a sin to travel on National Day, now these children don't miss home, they run outside all day long!"

"Who's to say no, but he misses him a lot, and he can't get back a phone call. After Zhang Bowen put the book on the table, he said casually: "Which book does your Xiaotao want?" If you are in a hurry, I will ask Zhang Chu to send it to him. ”

Duan Gaojie waved his hand again and again, "Don't worry, I'll buy it back and take a look first." It's the same when Xiao Zhang comes back from winter vacation to sign. Now the Internet is saying that your family Zhang Chu has the potential to be a traitor, you have to pay attention to it. ”

"Who is talking nonsense? What kind of traitor is our family Zhang Chu, these people want to collect court summons again. Zhang Bowen glared and said angrily.

"I just read it on the Internet, and they said that two of Zhang Chu's four books are written about foreigners, advocating foreigners and flattering foreigners. I just came here to tell you that Xiao Zhang is not participating in some good Chinese literature essay now, I am worried that these remarks will affect him. ”

Zhang Bowen nodded again and again, "Thank you, Lao Duan, if you don't say it, I really don't know about it." The group of people on the Internet is a lot of mouths, and I'll call his agent when I go back and ask. ”

Just now Duan Gaojie, who bought three copies of "Journey to the West Diary", was sent out of the door, and Zhang Bowen saw his wife running over in a hurry.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, look at it! Yesterday's sales statistics are finally out!"

Chu Lan waved her mobile phone and shouted excitedly, making the customers in the bookstore look sideways.

Zhang Bowen repeatedly motioned to her to lower her voice, "It was usually announced in the morning, why is it only announced in the afternoon now, the efficiency of those institutions is getting slower and slower." ”

"Don't complain, people are not allowed to take a holiday on National Day!" Chu Lan enlarged the downloaded form and enlarged the data in front of him.

Zhang Bowen leaned over and stared intently at the string of numbers.

Boy!

"No. 7, "Journey to the West Diary", sold 38,000 copies on the same day, with a cumulative sales of 38,000!"

"It's worthy of my son, he sold to the seventh place on the first day, and after that, if you work hard, maybe you can still rush to the first place!" Zhang Bowen laughed proudly.

Chu Lan on the side also showed a relieved smile, they didn't actually know much about these rankings, but this ranking said it all.

Even if the literary value is weak, the commercial value will not deceive.

The sales of so many famous writers' works are under "Journey to the West Diary", isn't this amazing?

Zhou Kang, who was far away in Yanjing, also saw the statistics here for the first time, and the big stone in his heart finally landed!

38,000 copies, excluding the sales of 23,000 e-books, the physical book sold 15,000 copies in one day, which is a good result for Zhang Chu.

And the first day of sales ranked in the top ten, which created Zhang Chu's personal best!

During the period of "Sherlock", Zhang Chu had not yet become famous, and when "Psychological Crime" was released on the first day, it happened to encounter Zhang Chu's lawsuit in the United States, and it was only after the popularity in disguise that it entered the top 100.

Now "Journey to the West Diary", with the help of strong electronic sales, has directly landed in the top ten, which is worth celebrating even if it is placed on those best-selling authors!
