Chapter 383: Sold Out
"Zhang Chu's new book has finally been updated, do you know?"
"Listen to me, go buy a copy of the East China Life Newspaper, I have a hunch that this book will be popular, and it will not be reprinted when the time comes!"
"It's really well written, Shennong and Qingdi have come out, and it is estimated that the rest of the legendary characters will also appear one by one. ”
Xiao Jingtian sent several messages to his friends on WeChat, eager to recommend "Sou Shen Ji" to everyone.
Now this is only the first day, if the word of mouth ferments, many people can only look at the electronic version on the Internet, and the newspaper in their hands will become out of print!
This newspaper must be preserved, and it may be of great use in the future.
Of the nearly 600,000 copies of the newspaper, only about one percent survived intact, and the rest were used for various purposes.
The East China Life Newspaper in different places was bought up quickly, and the owners of those newsstands were surprised to find that the few newspapers that could not be sold every day were actually sold out before noon!
"Boss, is there still an East China Life Newspaper here? ”
The high school student in his school uniform took advantage of lunch time to come to the newsstand next to the school, and the school prohibits mobile phones and other devices, so he has to run out to buy newspapers.
On the weekend, I heard that Zhang Chu was going to serialize it in the newspaper on his side, and now he is looking at the boss with a blank eye.
However, the owner of the newsstand couldn't help himself, "No, do you want the Metropolis Express? I still have several copies of the Metropolis Express." ”
"No, I don't need the Metropolis Express. Boss, do you know that there is a place nearby where you can buy newspapers?"
"Do you have to want the East China Life Newspaper? What's so good about the newspaper?" The newsstand owner was confused, and the 10 copies of the East China Life Newspaper had never been sold out in the past.
Every time, it was taken back by the newspaper for recycling, or bought by flower shops and car repair shops at ultra-low prices.
The high school student looked at the owner of the newsstand and said in disbelief: "Zhang Chu's new book is serialized here!
"Who is Zhang Chu?" The boss usually doesn't pay attention to these things at all, and the main business content of his newsstand has become all kinds of drinks, tobacco and alcohol, and newspapers, magazines and other publications can only be regarded as incidental sales.
"Anyway, he is a very popular writer, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" was written by him, and now the new book "Sou Shen Ji" is serialized in "East China Life News". If I were you, I'd buy more of this paper, and it would definitely sell. ”
The owner of the book kiosk was a little hesitant, after all, if the newspaper was not sold, it would still lose a little money, and he planned to call his son later to see if Zhang Chu was really famous among these young people!
……
Lao Sun Tou walked to the branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, he planned to use the passbook to withdraw some money to spend, and the monthly pension was typed in the passbook on time.
However, there were too many customers in the universe, so Lao Sun Tou took a number with the help of the lobby manager, and when he saw that it was 87, the counter called 61.
It's a wait!
Idle left and right, the old grandson wandered around the hall, and after reading the promotional materials of those bank products, his eyes were attracted by the neatly placed newspaper shelves next to him.
The bank has a wide range of newspapers, including national and regional newspapers.
The old grandson took out his reading glasses from his pocket, picked up the top newspaper casually, and then sat on the metal bench on the side and looked at it seriously.
From the front page, I watched it slowly, it was all local news in East China, and Lao Sun Tou was meticulous in reading it.
And when he turned the page, he found that the whole page of the text was a book!
When he was young, Lao Sun Tou liked to watch martial arts, and he had read a lot of various martial arts masters, but when he got old, he couldn't find any books to read, and martial arts were almost dead.
The name "Sou Shen Ji" made his eyes shine, and it sounded very atmospheric and majestic.
After glancing at the wedge, Lao Sun Tou found that this fantasy type actually contained a strong martial arts atmosphere, which was exactly the type he liked!
The writing is timeless, full of antiquity, and the descriptions of the fights are in place.
When he saw Shennong petrified on the mountain peak by the sea, he vaguely felt this feeling of generosity to die, probably in the last stage of his life.
"The Great Wilderness Sutra, Mirage City, Hundred Grass Note, Five Elements Spectrum, this Shennong is really that Shennong!"
Lao Sun Tou appreciates Shennong's sudden appearance before his feathering, life is scattered and separated, like floating clouds, there is no need to be sad at all.
Reading slowly word by word, he accepted this kind of fantasy work.
"Please go to counter No. 87 to handle business!"
The radio in the hall rang several times, but the old grandson didn't hear it, and finally the security guard came to ask, so he quickly put down the newspaper and walked to the counter to get the money.
While entering the password, Lao Sun Tou was still thinking that he must go to the post office to subscribe to a copy of "East China Life Daily" later, so he had to subscribe to that article!
……
For Gui Xuefeng, today was destined to be a day of anxiety, and he had no idea how the newspaper was selling.
Everyone in the newspaper office could feel the low pressure, and everyone was working carefully, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of becoming a punching bag.
Even if the profitability of their newspaper is okay, Zhang Chu's manuscript fee plus those taxes is not a small number at all.
Even if they all agree that this is a very good film, even if they see those positive, positive reviews on the origin Chinese website, these are two different media, and the readership is different.
Who knows if the original readers of East China Life Newspaper will be able to accept "Sou Shen Ji"?
Who knows if consumers who have never bought newspapers will buy newspapers because of "Sou Shen Ji"?
The market is always so unpredictable, there are too many works that are not suitable for the water and soil, and sometimes they are popular on the Internet, but they may not be popular in reality.
The oranges in Huainan will become oranges when they arrive in Huaibei, what if "Sou Shen Ji" is also this kind of work?
In the office that was originally extremely quiet, an employee of the circulation department suddenly shouted: "Good news! Good news! All the 600,000 newspapers we printed have been sold out!"
"It's really fake? It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's sold out?"
"It's confirmed that there is no news, don't make any jokes!"
"It seems to be 280,000 copies for retail, so many can be sold out at once, but don't put any satellites. ”
The rest of the office didn't quite believe the data, and although their "East China Life Daily" claimed to have a circulation of 600,000 copies in a single issue, there was no situation where the printed newspaper was sold out!
