Even on the first night after New Year's Eve. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in the Bristol office, the lights are still bright.
This is almost impossible to happen in European countries where the eight-hour workweek is strictly enforced.
But at this moment.
Bristol employees, including Jenny, were a little excited to shuttle back and forth across the entire floor of the office.
The noise came and went.
And as the boss of the company.
Ryan, however, sat happily and painfully on the couch in the living room, making and answering phone calls.
"Out of stock, out of stock, let them book!"
“****!”
"Are you a pig?
"Sorry, there's no more!"
"Let them immediate, immediately, immediate, immediate,
"Oh, honey, I don't have time to go home now, is it better for Dad to tell you the story of the panda than tomorrow? OK, can you help me say goodnight to Mommy?"
Ok, I love you, my little angel. ”
Hanging up his daughter Dalena's phone, before Ryan could breathe a sigh of relief, the mobile phone in his hand immediately began to vibrate again.
This time she pressed the AFK keyboard straight away.
"Jenny, how's it going?"
There was a very bright smile on the face of the assistant Jenny.
Despite being busy.
But she was well aware that this time it was their victory, the victory of the Bristol company.
"Congratulations, Ryan, I think you made it. ”
"Thanks, but I guess we have a lot of work to do right now, right?"
"Yes. I have just received a report from the sales department, and now there are 142 bookstores in the UK selling our books, and the first printing of 200,000 copies has been sold out.
So far, we've received orders for another 100,000 copies, but we don't have any more in stock right now, and if the printers don't start their machines again, I'm sure you'll get a lot of complaints tomorrow morning. ”
Shrugged.
Jenny was also a little helpless.
Everyone, including her, did not expect that this work written by Chinese would be so wildly snapped up.
It started five hours after the official release last night.
The phone of the company's sales department began to be flooded.
This continues until now, at eight o'clock the next night.
There are less than four hours to go, but the first release of Kung Fu Panda has already exceeded the 300,000 mark.
That's comparable to the sales of Harry Potter.
Originally, Ryan still had some doubts about taking over the publishing rights of "Kung Fu Panda" across the European continent, but at this moment, he just wanted to find Li Weiwei and Wang Dongdong immediately and sign the contract now.
"Jenny, can you help me get Miss Li and Mr. Wang to the conference room, I need to talk to them. ”
Ryan just finished speaking.
Jenny smiled and nodded.
She knew what Ryan wanted to do.
In fact, that's what she wants to do.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, but if you can't seize them, I'm afraid you'll only be left with frustration
Wang Dongdong and Li Weiwei walked to the conference room of the Bristol company almost with excitement on their faces.
They were really excited.
Alone abroad.
It's not even time to reunite with the family, but it's all worth it at this moment.
Kung Fu Panda was once again a huge success, and it was the first stop in the UK for overseas release, which was undoubtedly a good start.
Even if the sales were dismal later, the sales of 300,000 copies were enough to make the British media write a lot.
But for a book that has already invested nearly a million pounds in operating expenses in the early stage, 300,000 sales are still far from enough.
However, several people, including Li Weiwei and Lane, believe that 300,000 will definitely not be the final result.
"Congratulations, King!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Lane, I think this is a success for all of us, and if it weren't for your discernment, I don't think this work would have been able to reach readers in England so soon.
I think the readers of your country deserve to award you the medal of the best publisher. ”
Hahaha!
Several people couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
This Chinese doesn't look so annoying at the moment.
"Wang, we should sign a new contract, right, Bristol is willing to be the publisher of this perfect work throughout Europe. ”
After listening to the translation's words, Wang Dongdong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This is also a breath of relief.
However, the contract still has to be signed.
Although Bristol is not a big company, what he wants is this kind of company without all kinds of constraints, and if he really looks for those well-known companies, he is a little constrained.
It's just about new contracts.
Wang Dongdong was a little cautious.
"Yes, but Mr. Stoll, I think you already see the potential of this work, and if you want to get the publishing rights for the whole continent, I think we need to make some adjustments in the distribution of profits.
It should be clear to you that as a spokesperson, I should fight for the best interests of my author, and if he is not happy, I think his next work will not be ours. ”
Wang Dongdong also played a little trick when he said this.
It is tantamount to implying that Lane Lin Tao's second work will also cooperate with the other party, with the foundation of the first work, as long as Lin Tao's next work is not too out of line, the sales will naturally not be too bad.
This is almost an inertia in the publishing world, and the celebrity effect is always more deeply played out in this industry.
Ryan: Good, Jenny looked at each other with some hesitation.
But the form on the desktop has dropped dramatically compared to the previous one.
Li Weiwei and Wang Dongdong have become the waiting side, and they are even more victorious.
Very simple.
Because Kung Fu Panda is worth the price.
"Sorry, we need a little time. ”
Ryan looked apologetic.
Wang Dongdong and Li Weiwei smiled and nodded, and walked out of the conference room.
But the moment the two came out, they heard Ryan's assistant Jenny say something to the microphone.
"What? It's already 400,000 copies, and there's still 3 hours to go. ”
400,000 copies!
When the two heard this number, they couldn't help but look at each other again and laugh.
At that time, a domestic newspaper once published a news that Gao Qiang, the CEO of Oriental Century Publishing Group, had made a bet that "Kung Fu Panda" would have a circulation of more than 500,000 copies on the first day in Europe.
At the beginning, the doubts were more than a big wave.
Now that I think about it, I feel like in a dream, a little unreal.
If the domestic media knew early tomorrow morning that the first day of circulation in the UK alone exceeded 500,000 copies, I don't know what kind of expressions those people would have.
Mr. Wang had almost foreseen the praising in the domestic media.
Only this time, I'm afraid they can't refute it, and "Kung Fu Panda" will slap those faces with naked numbers. (To be continued.) )
