As one of the two largest newspapers and periodicals in Qingyang City, "Qingyang Daily" sells a lot every day, not to mention that there is such a great god as Han Cheng who personally endorses Ye Chen.

It is no exaggeration to say that all readers who have bought "Qingyang Daily" today know Ye Chen's novel "The Da Vinci Code", even if the people who have not heard of "The Da Vinci Code" have begun to pay attention to this novel that claims to create a new genre of fiction because of Cheng Ji's fame, and countless Qingyang citizens are full of curiosity about the completely different type of novel that Cheng Ji said.

What's more, according to the official statistics of the empire, the people of the empire read more than 20 books every year, and it can be said that reading has become the favorite thing of the people of the empire in their spare time, and friends often give books to each other.

Therefore, the people of the empire also like to buy and read books, and they are not short of money.

Qingyang citizens, who already like to read, were driven by this curiosity to go to the nearest bookstore to buy "The Da Vinci Code"

The owners of bookstores large and small in Qingyang City suddenly found that the number of customers in the bookstore suddenly increased several times in just one morning, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy books.

This phenomenon made the bookstore owners in Qingyang City laugh and couldn't close their legs, and if they were wrong, they couldn't close their mouths.

Originally, these bookstore owners thought that it was because the suspenseful little prince's new book "The Concubine" in Qingyang City happened to be published today that it attracted so many citizens to buy books, but after carefully asking the sales staff in the store, they found that this was not the case at all - today's sudden surge in customers are all coming to buy a book called "The Da Vinci Code"!

What surprised these bookstore owners even more was that the author of this "Da Vinci Code" was actually just a newcomer!

As businessmen, bookstore owners don't think about why, as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter who you write or say, especially after knowing that this author's new book was actually promoted by Han Cheng in the "Qingyang Daily", the first reaction of these bookstore owners is to find the manager of the bookstore in a hurry and ask how many copies of "The Da Vinci Code" have entered.

At this time, bookstore owners will no longer consider whether they will lose money if the book "The Da Vinci Code" has too much stock in their own bookstore, joke!

Who is Han Sung?

That's a professional book reviewer, people just rely on book reviews to eat, not to mention that they are also best-selling authors, and their sense of smell in the novel market is sharper than that of pure businessmen like themselves, and there is such a great god who specially endorses "The Da Vinci Code", and is afraid that it will not be sold?

Bookstore owners are afraid that they won't buy enough goods!

"Hurry up and get in touch with Huayu Publishing House!" shouted countless bookstore owners beating their chests.

I knew that "The Da Vinci Code" was so easy to sell, why did I stupidly buy so many "The Da Vinci Code", what kind of stuff is this! I only sold more than 100 copies in one morning, and "The Da Vinci Code" has already been sold out!

"What? You actually asked me if I would like to buy some more copies of "The Da Vinci Code"? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey, or did you take a shower today, and your head was full of water? Let me tell you, if you don't buy me a thousand copies of "The Da Vinci Code" from the publishing house today, no, two thousand copies of "The Da Vinci Code", you, the manager, will also be done!" Countless bookstore owners who usually seem to be polite and polite in front of their subordinates have changed their faces without scruples in the face of interests, and even gave death orders to their subordinates!

This is those who did not have the foresight to choose to start buying more "The Da Vinci Code" instead of "The Da Vinci Code", and the funny thing is that it is precisely these people who refused to increase the purchase of "The Da Vinci Code" because Ye Chen was a rookie and the author was not famous!

However, businessmen have always been the most undisciplined type of people, and after knowing that the "Da Vinci Code" ordered had been sold out, they suddenly felt anxious like ants on a hot pot, and their minds were full of only thinking about asking Huayu Publishing House for goods.

As for the unhappiness in the morning, he was thrown to Java by Sun Jian a long time ago!

Can face be eaten as a meal?

Well, it's a big deal to send your sales manager to get in touch

Huayu Publishing House.

For the whole afternoon, Zhu Jin was a little restless.

After a small victory in Zheng Wei's office at noon, Zhu Jin felt that it was the first time that he was so close to the position of editor-in-chief, so close that it seemed to be within reach.

However, Zhu Jin is still a little worried, after all, Zhu Jin still knows a lot about Zheng Wei's ability, although Zheng Wei has not signed any big-selling books in recent years, but the books signed by Zheng Wei have never lost money.

"Maybe this book is called "The Da Vinci Code" is still a bit of a doorway, maybe I should find a time to read it? After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win all battles. ”

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Zhu Jin's heart that seemed ridiculous to him.

At this moment, Zhu Jin's mood is very delicate, and he has both a desire for the position of editor-in-chief, and he is also worried about what will happen if the sales of "The Da Vinci Code" are okay? If he wants to sit in the position of editor-in-chief, he will need a hearty victory! If "The Da Vinci Code" only sells a little more than "The Da Vinci Code," then he will not be able to achieve the results he wants.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jin couldn't help but feel a little irritable, so he simply walked out of his office, ready to wait for market feedback at the publishing house, and he had a bottom in his heart.

However, Zhu Jin still felt that this worry should be superfluous, after all, whether it is the author's popularity or writing strength, it is not a grade at all in Zhu Jin's opinion.

How old is Ye Chen? I'm afraid he's not even eighteen years old!

Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Jin also felt a lot more relaxed, just going out to have a look, so that he could settle down

"Jingle Bell Bell!"

"Hello, this is Huayu Publishing House, oh, okay, I'll tell the editor-in-chief. Xiao Li put down the phone and was about to walk towards the editor-in-chief's office.

Unexpectedly, after only taking a step or two, the phone behind him rang again.

"Hello, this is Huayu Publishing House, I understand, I will tell the editor-in-chief. ”

In the next moment, Xiao Li was very busy, and there were calls all the time, and they were all talking about the same thing.

After a while.

Xiao Li finally put down the phone and walked towards the editor-in-chief's office in surprise.

"Xiao Li, who called just now. Zhu Jin walked out of the office, and at a glance, he saw Xiao Li hurriedly walking towards Zheng Wei's office, and his heart moved, Zhu Jin asked.

Xiao Li just walked to the door of Zheng Wei's office and was about to knock on the door, but he didn't expect to hear Zhu Jin, the deputy editor-in-chief of the publishing house, ask himself, turned his head and said: "That's the case, just now Boss Sun called the publishing house and said that the books ordered this morning were out of stock, and I hope to order some more quickly." ”

Zhu Jin heard Xiao Li say that Boss Sun called and wanted to order, and subconsciously thought that "Concubine" was selling well, although Zhu Jin also wondered how Boss Sun had ordered 1,800 copies in the morning to sell so quickly, and after thinking about it, Zhu Jin also knew that Boss Sun had joined a large number of small bookstores, and Cheng Ji also had a lot of book fans in Qingyang City, so it was still very possible.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jin is very happy in his heart, now that he and Cheng Ji are grasshoppers on the same rope, the better Cheng Ji's new book "Sister-in-law" sells, the better it will be for him, how can he not be happy?

However, this Xiao Li went to Zheng Wei's office a little diligently! Should he bang and knock, oh no, encourage and encourage.

Just as Zhu Jin was thinking about how to speak, Xiao Li on the side wondered to himself: "It's strange to say, what Boss Sun actually asked for was actually "The Da Vinci Code", and I thought it was "The Da Vinci Code" at first. ”

Although Xiao Li's voice was small, it was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day in Zhu Jin's ears at this time!

"What are you talking about? Say it again, which book did Boss Sun ask for an additional order?" Zhu Jin thought he had heard it wrong, and said with an incredulous expression.

"Well, what Boss Sun asked for was the Da Vinci Code. Xiao Li was also startled by Zhu Jin's sudden roar, lowered his voice and replied in a low voice.

"The Da Vinci Code" is actually "The Da Vinci Code" instead of "The Da Vinci Code"

Zhu Jin was stunned, and when he realized that he had heard correctly, Boss Sun really ordered "The Da Vinci Code" instead of "The Da Vinci Code"!

Zhu Jin couldn't believe it, how could it be! How could it be "The Da Vinci Code" instead of "The Concubine"? How could Cheng Ji lose to a newcomer who was less than 18 years old!

What made Zhu Jin even more angry was Boss Sun, who trusted him so much in vain, and usually flattered himself by calling himself a brother, but turned around and gave himself a knife.

This villain!

Xiao Li on the side saw that Zhu Jin's face was pale, and he was also puzzled by the appearance of gritting his teeth, and the bookstore owner asked for an additional order, isn't this a good thing for the publishing house? Why did Zhu Jin look unhappy.

After a while, as if remembering something, Xiao Li "chuckled" in his heart, and finally suddenly realized, it seemed that he had heard the old staff of the publishing house say in private chat, and the two bigwigs in the publishing house were not very friendly, could it be

Xiao Li was thinking about it, and Zhu Jin was already angrily going back to his office.

Zhu Jin still felt unbelievable, how could Cheng Ji be defeated by a pink newcomer, not to mention that the publicity of this newcomer's novel was very different from Cheng Ji.

Thinking about it, Zhu Jin suddenly flashed an idea in his mind!

"It must be Zheng Wei, it must be Zheng Wei who is afraid that he will rob him of the position of editor-in-chief, so he has privately contacted the bookstore owners!"

"Yes, Zheng Wei is the editor-in-chief, he has this ability!"

Zhu Jin gritted his teeth and thought that all kinds of conspiracy theories had filled his mind

"What! Are you sure you're right? Many bookstore owners have asked for an additional order for The Da Vinci Code? Boss Sun has asked for an additional 1,500 copies?"

Zheng Wei looked at Xiao Li, propped his hands on the desk, and stood up abruptly with a surprised expression.

"Yes, that's what Boss Sun said on the phone!" Although I don't understand why the editor-in-chief is so surprised, as a subordinate, Xiao Li sticks to his duty.

"Okay, good, I knew this book wouldn't disappoint me!" Zheng Wei laughed.

Then, Zheng Wei seemed to remember something, and immediately urged: "Xiao Li, quickly contact the people in the printing house, and quickly ask them to print the "Da Vinci Code", go quickly." ”

Seeing Zheng Wei's eager look, Xiao Li nodded and immediately turned around and walked out of the office, but after a while, Xiao Li walked in again.

Zheng Wei saw Xiao Li walking back again, frowned and said, "What's the matter, Xiao Li, is there anything else?"

Xiao Li saw that Zheng Wei looked a little impatient, and said with a wry smile: "Editor-in-chief, you didn't tell me how many copies to print." ”

When Zheng Wei heard this, he patted his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, well, let's do it, let's print 5,000 copies of "The Da Vinci Code" and 2,000 copies of "The Da Vinci Code" first. ”

Xiao Li nodded, turned around and walked out of the office.
