Text Chapter 240 Rush to buy
With the names of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", many people who have never tried online shopping are equivalent to being "forced" by Lao Cha and Xiong Da to pay attention to Maimai.com.
After learning about the shopping function of Maimai.com and the payment process of "Easy Pay", new users feel that online shopping seems quite convenient. In particular, after Maimai.com has reached cooperation with various express delivery companies, and will realize door-to-door delivery services in most parts of the country, even old users believe that this can greatly enhance the convenience of shopping.
Many people who originally registered on Maimai.com for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", in order to be familiar with the operation of online shopping, tried to buy some small goods on Maimai.com, and then found that this online shopping is really convenient, and the goods on it are varied, and many things that can't be found in physical stores can be bought here.
Maimai.com also launched a series of preferential activities during this time, allowing merchants to make a certain amount of discounts to attract those new users to shop.
On the other side, Peng Qingguo's efficiency is also extremely high, using the network resources accumulated before, he quickly got the book number and publishing license, these two martial arts books are related to the development plan of Maimai bookstore and even Maimai.com, so not only Peng Qingguo, Zou Ming, Pan Ziyu and Huang Jinshu attach great importance to it.
So in terms of printing quality, no one dares to relax. Zou Ming even gave a death order to Peng Qingguo, the quality of the finished book must be good, and readers must have a desire to buy it as soon as they see it.
To this end, Peng Qingguo specially invited two masters of Chinese painting to paint the covers of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
After the sample came out, he immediately handed it over to Zou Ming and Huang Jinshu for inspection. I have to say that Peng Qingguo is worthy of being the founder of Sky Book City, not to mention being familiar with the publishing process, and he also has a very thorough understanding of the psychology of readers.
This is because he is also a book lover who loves to read, and he couldn't put down "Dragon Babu" and "The Peerless Twins" at the beginning, and he read almost every night, and the books were blackened by him. If it weren't for the holiday with Crown Publishing House, he would have wanted to introduce "Dragon Babu" into his Sky Book City. And Wanshan Group didn't look down on his Sky Book City, so it also didn't take out "The Peerless Twins".
This has always been regretted by Peng Qingguo, but now after being merged into Maimai.com, he can finally sell Lao Cha and Xiong Da's masterpieces online, and Maimai.com is also the only channel for readers to buy these two books.
After getting the approval of Zou Ming, Huang Jinshu and others, Peng Qingguo immediately asked the familiar printing house to rush to print the book day and night.
Because the market appeal of Lao Cha and Xiong Da cannot be doubted, Peng Qingguo did not need to be tempted at all, and directly printed three million copies of the first volume.
After the printing of the first batch of single books was completed, Peng Qingguo did not put it on the shelves as soon as possible, but discussed with Zou Ming and others, and planned to hold an online pre-sale event. They use the method of flash sales for a limited time, so that users of Maimai.com can enter the purchase page of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" or "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" at a specific time and click to buy, subject to 100,000 copies, while supplies last, and users who fail to buy can only wait for the next batch.
Maimai.com also stipulates that each registered user can only buy one copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" or "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang". That is, if you buy one of them, you can't buy the other. Of course, everyone is dissatisfied with this initiative, and there are more than 10 million book fans who like Lao Cha and Xiong Da, and this mere 100,000 copies is not enough for the entire market to even plug the gaps, not to mention that Lao Cha and Xiong Da's books can only choose one of the two?
In particular, Maimai.com did not say when the next batch of books will be on the shelves after the total of 200,000 books is sold. This makes people angry, if they can't buy it, how long will they have to endure before they can get what they want?
And this also makes Maimai.com more of the center of discussion, but what everyone is most entangled in is, should Lao Cha's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" be chosen by Lao Cha or Xiong Da's "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"?
For the listing of these two books, the Zhouguang blog also promoted it a lot, not only on the homepage, but also for every registered user to push, in order to let as many people as possible know about it.
Not only on the Internet, but also in reality, there are many people discussing, or in some radio stations, and even on TV talk shows, and even in the entertainment industry, because many celebrities and artists are loyal fans of the two of them.
As a result, Lao Cha and Xiong Dafa have released new books, and Han Zhucai has launched a work to close the mountain, which has become a hot topic in recent times.
Since the popularity of "Dragon Babu" and "Peerless Double Pride", there have been many martial arts writers who have satirized the two of them in the Ming Dynasty, including many famous artists.
Now these people who are not used to them have gone beyond the category of martial arts writers and spread to the field of other types of writers.
Some people criticize Lao Cha and Xiong Da, although they have excellent pen power, they are willing to become tools of capital. In the past, they used "Tianlong Babu" and "Peerless Double Pride" to hold up the Zhouguang blog, but now they plan to repeat their old tricks and shout for Maimai.com, which is no longer for literati.
After this argument came out, it was quickly supported by other authors, who joined in accusing Lao Cha and Xiong Da, and some even said that they were the lackeys of businessmen.
Lao Cha and Xiong Da did not make any response, and they stood still regardless of the wind and rain, but a large number of fans refuted those writers, saying that they were red-eyed and sick, and they couldn't see that people were more popular than them.
The vast majority of book fans believe that Lao Cha and Xiong Da can attract so much attention, which is in itself a manifestation of strength. And those writers who jumped out to accuse Lao Cha and Xiong Da, if they are also selected by capital one day, it is estimated that it will be a different story.
These disturbances can't stop Maimai.com from becoming more and more popular day by day, nor can they stop the pre-sale activities of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" from going on as scheduled.
The pre-sale of the two books was set at 8 p.m. on Saturday night, which is arguably the most free time for the general public, giving them full freedom to snap up online purchases.
As early as seven o'clock, a large number of netizens have been waiting in front of the computer, according to the background statistics of Maimai.com, at this time the number of users or tourists who log in to the website of Maimai Bookstore has exceeded 10 million!
At the headquarters of Maimai.com, Huang Jinshu, Zou Ming, Pan Ziyu and Peng Qingguo are all here, and tonight is the key to whether Maimai.com can fire the first shot after its reorganization.
Zou Ming and Peng Qingguo are very excited, before Zhouguang joined the house, the number of registered users of Maimai.com was only a few hundred thousand, and now, the number of registered buyers has reached six or seven million.
Attracted by these skyrocketing users, many people have also joined Maimai.com one after another and registered as sellers on it. So in less than a month, Maimai.com has the number of users who have made the entire domestic Internet look at it.
Zou Ming looked at his watch and saw that the time was already 7:57, so he said: "Wait for the backstage to be stable, today's battle is too important, if this pot of dishes is broken because of equipment problems, no one will think about it!"
"Everyone understands, our people are staring at it, don't worry. Pan Ziyu said.
In order to develop Maimai.com, after Zhouguang sent the money, Zou Ming upgraded the electronic equipment of Maimai.com as soon as possible, in order to avoid that when the number of users increases greatly in the future, these hardware will become the shackles of Maimai.com's progress.
When the time reached eight o'clock, Huang Jinshu muttered: "It's started!"
At this moment, on the computer pages of thousands of netizens, the options of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" have changed from "stay tuned" to "buy now".
Netizens who were paying close attention to the page and constantly refreshing the page immediately reacted and clicked "Buy Now" as fast as they could!
After clicking on it, a "buffering" pattern appeared on the page, which caused everyone to be worried.
In the end, some lucky people successfully entered the next payment page after the "buffer", while others saw the window of "this product is all sold out".
In less than half a minute, a total of 200,000 copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the first volume of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" were all sold out!
In the headquarters of Maimaiwang Suicheng, Huang Jinshu, Zou Ming, Pan Ziyu and Peng Qingguo looked at each other, all frightened by this situation.
Peng Qingguo swallowed his saliva and said to himself: "Is this true? I'm not dreaming, right?"
Pan Ziyu ignored him, but shouted to his subordinates: "How about the 'Easy Pay' side?
The supervisor in charge of docking with "Easy Pay" immediately said: "It's started, more than 30% of the users who bought the book have successfully paid!"
"Okay!" Zou Ming couldn't help shouting and said, "Half a minute, 200,000 goods, this is estimated to scare a lot of people!"
"We ourselves were all scared, let alone others?" Huang Jinshu also said: "I didn't expect "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" to be so popular, they haven't seen it yet, so they're not afraid that the quality of this work is unsatisfactory?"
Peng Qingguo said with a smile: "This is also the previous works of Lao Cha and Xiong Da, which are too good, and everyone's confidence in them is very high." What's more, you have also watched "Shooting the Condor" and "Chu Liuxiang", isn't the quality good?"
"Of course. Zou Ming said with a smile: "I haven't tried to stay up all night for many years, and there is not a day when my head doesn't hurt in those days." I estimate that after these users receive the book and read it, the word of mouth will quickly ferment, and when the next batch of books is put on the shelves, the market reaction will probably be much stronger than now. ”
