Chapter 29: Printing

"I'll go, it turns out that we were all deceived! I still felt guilty back then, I didn't expect that article to fool people!" In a high school classroom in Beijing, a boy suddenly picked up the magazine in his hand, "Hey, big guys, come and see, this issue of "Sprout" has published an extremely awesome article!"

In Jiangcheng, a teacher habitually lamented that the students of this generation are not as bitter as they were at that time, and how they will compete with Europe, the United States and Japan in the future, but the students under the podium took out Chen Yu'an's article to refute it.

In Jinguancheng, several students scolded, "A turtle son, the person who wrote that article is shameless, he has coaxed me for so many years!"

In Huadu, as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, a group of students hurried to the newsstand at the school gate and handed over the banknotes. ”

"Xilu boy, you're late, you're already sold out!" The boss also wondered, usually it takes a week for his newsstand to sell out an issue of "Sprout", why did it sell out in less than a day this time?

"Huh, why so fast?" the students' faces suddenly drooped, "Hey, Lou Sai, you still can't buy the goods?"

"Come in, go in, why don't you come in if you have money to make money? I've just called them to urge them to deliver the goods, and I guess I can deliver them before the evening self-study!" "Oh, I just asked for 20 copies, it looks like I won't want less, right? No, I have to call them again and ask them to send more money, and no one will miss the opportunity to make money."

"Then I'll give you the money first, and you keep it for me. "These children are afraid that they will not be able to grab it next time, so they are willing to pay first.

"Well, write your name here, and keep it for you according to your name. "The boss is not surprised, during the European Cup in the summer, the fans rushed to buy the "Sports Weekly" is like this, he is familiar with it.

The same thing is happening in many different cities, with middle school students rushing to newsstands and bookstores just to buy a copy of the latest "Sprout" and take a good look at Chen Yu'an's article that made them proud.

The newsstand calls were made to the local distribution agent, who then reported to the next level, and eventually, all the calls were directed to Sprout Magazine, but Sprout's phone was always busy.

“...... Got it, I'll arrange someone to replenish the stock for you immediately, rest assured, I will definitely be able to deliver it to you today. Fu Xing hung up the phone, and greeted outside without caring about drinking water, "Give another two hundred copies on Jinshan Road." ”

Since the morning, people have been calling to ask for replenishment, and several people in the distribution department are too busy at all, and even Fu Xing and them have been called over to help answer the phone.

"Two hundred copies? There are so many of them now? The last batch of stock has just been sent to Pudong! Now the city's inventory is about to be emptied!" Qin Hong from the distribution department said in a hoarse voice, and he said hoarse when he answered the phone today.

"What should I do? I just told people that I had it! Didn't I still have it just now? It's gone so soon?" It's a whole 50,000 copies, and I have to receive a lot of returns every time in the past, but this time it's only been officially released for three days, why is it gone?

"What else can I do? Go and tell the editor-in-chief, let him find a printing house to print, the edition should still be there, as long as the deposit is given, you can start printing, there won't be much delay, I'll go to the editor-in-chief." Qin Hong hurriedly rushed into Zhao Tianchang's office.

"Sold out so quickly, didn't you say there are still a lot of them yesterday?" Zhao Tianchang was stunned and said, the word "printing" seems to have not appeared for a long time.

"The first two days only sporadically received some calls, at this rate, I expect the inventory to last more than a week, then think of today's sudden increase in calls, agents in many provinces are required to catch up, a few clicks on the inventory to clear up. Qin Hong took the water cup handed over by Zhao Tianchang and drank it all, and his throat finally improved slightly.

"Didn't you ask them what the reason was?" Zhao Tianchang had three words in his mind.

"It was Willy Yang's article, and the agent said that those high school students were crazy when they saw this article, and they ran all over the streets looking for newsstands, even the most remote newsstands, and they sold them out......! There are even scalpers who take the opportunity to increase the price, and a magazine is sold for 20 yuan!

This year, "Sprout" magazine just lowered the price from six yuan to four yuan eight, twenty yuan a piece, almost more than five times the price, these scalpers are really ruthless.

"You immediately sort out a number and see how much you want to print, I'll call the printing house here and ask them to prepare for printing!" Sure enough, Zhao Tianchang had long thought that Chen Yu'an's article would cause a big uproar, but he never expected that the storm would come so violently.

"Since Henan, Hunan, and Guangdong provinces have all called, then in addition to a few remote areas, other provinces will definitely call, if it is calculated in this way, I am afraid that at least 50,000 copies will have to be printed!" Qin Hong pondered for a while, and then took out the number.

50,000 copies? As soon as this figure came out, Zhao Tianchang and Qin Hong were stunned at the same time, doesn't this mean that the sales of this issue of the magazine have directly doubled? This is too exaggerated, right?

"Are you sure?" Zhao Tianchang picked up the phone and put it down again, he felt that he might have misheard.

Qin Hong picked up the calculator and carefully calculated it several times, it was still this number, he nodded solemnly, "I'm sure! If the sales volume reported by those agents is correct, 50,000 may not be able to beat it!"

"Okay, I'll call the printing house, and in addition, you should hurry up and call the agents in each province to verify the sales data of this issue and see how much you want to print. Zhao Tianchang said decisively.

"Okay, I'll call!" As soon as he took two steps, Qin Hong stopped, and the phone of the distribution department was occupied at this time, what did he use to call?

"Oh, when I'm done with this call, you use mine. Zhao Tianchang directly vacated the office, "Find two more people to help you change the fight." ”

After a phone call, the machines of the printing house were started again, and many agents in the city, after hearing the news, drove directly to the gate of the printing house, and transported the stacks of "Sprouts" to various newsstands and bookstores without waiting for the ink to dry completely.

It was also at this time that the article came into the attention of more people, from the parents of the students to the teachers at the school, from the editors of other magazines to the people involved in the incident in the first place, who reacted differently from the students.
