After returning home, Mu Yu had cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Seeing Sun Hao coming back, she stood up and said, "Boss, just now editor Li Zehao of the Chinese Publishing House called and said that the first month's sales of "Love in the Neck" have come out. ”

"It's coming out so soon?" Sun Hao, who was originally a little depressed, heard the news, was a little excited, and asked, "How much did it sell?"

"2.15 million copies!"

"2.15 million? Sun Hao didn't seem particularly excited, and muttered, "There were 1.5 million copies in the first half of the month, and less than half in the second half of the month." ”

When Mu Yu heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Boss, 2.15 million copies is not much? At present, the monthly sales record holder in the book market is the national writer Hong Mei, her new book "We" published three years ago, sold 1.8 million copies in the first month, and finally won the annual People's Literature Celebration Award, you have now broken the record!"

Seeing that Sun Hao didn't speak, Mu Yu continued: "Moreover, book sales are not counted like this, when they are just put on sale, the sales volume must be the largest, the more you go to the back, the fewer people will buy, and if the monthly sales can be 500,000 copies next month, then thank God." ”

Sun Hao nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, this book is selling quite well." ”

"It's not just good, it's too good to be good!"

Mu Yu complained in her heart, fortunately, she had already gotten used to the way this unreliable boss spoke, otherwise she would have been angry to death, she adjusted her mentality and continued: "Editor Li wants to invite you to dinner." ”

Sun Hao thought about it, anyway, it's okay to talk about it in the past, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just tonight." ”

……

In the past month, the Chinese Publishing House has become famous, making countless peers jealous and jealous.

This is not to say that the Chinese Publishing House was not well-known before, in fact, five or six years ago, the Chinese Publishing House was among the first-class publishing houses in the industry.

It's just that with the development of Internet technology, the business of mobile reading and e-books is getting bigger and bigger, and the market share of the physical book industry is shrinking year by year.

Therefore, the Chinese publishing house has a reputation, but unfortunately, this reputation is not a good one.

However, in the past month, the monthly sales of an online physical version of "Love in the Necking Period" published by the Chinese Publishing House have reached an unprecedented 2.15 million copies, breaking the record of 1.8 million copies in the first month set by national writer Hong Mei three years ago with her new book "We", and establishing its status as a first-class publishing house in one fell swoop.

If it's just a new book that sells well, the Chinese publishing house is estimated to be popular for a while, and other peers can also use words such as "shit luck" and "blind cat ran into a dead mouse" to express their disdain and comfort themselves.

What is surprising is that after "Love in the Neck Period", another online physical book "Ethereal Journey" quickly launched by the Chinese Publishing House, has successfully exceeded 1 million copies in half a month, achieving a proud record of bestsellers!

This is a really good result, not a one-shot deal like "a blind cat meets a dead mouse".

When everyone in the industry praised the Chinese publishing house for a beautiful turnaround, more people discovered two truths that were not the truth.

The first truth is that these two bestsellers were personally introduced and published by Li Zehao, the person in charge of the first edition of the Chinese Publishing House!

The second truth is that these two best-selling books are written by the same author, and his name is Sun Hao!

Sun Hao has not opened a new book yet, so naturally he has no way to start, he only needs to designate a person and stare at his Weibo, once he publishes a new book, even if there is only one title, he must immediately send someone to sign the book!

Since Sun Hao has no choice for the time being, he can only "shoot" at Li Zehao.

As a result, Li Zehao's personal information was quickly dug into the ground, and he almost found out the mess of entering the women's toilet by mistake when he was in elementary school.

Li Zehao is not a rookie in the industry, he has been engaged in book editing for 20 years, and was once called a "gold medal editor" back then, and you can see at a glance how much market potential a new book has. Later, after a new book he edited fell into the "plagiarism gate", his competence began to be questioned, and in recent years, he was gradually marginalized by competitors within the publishing house, to the point that his reputation was not visible.

This is a talent, how can a talent be wronged in the slightest?

As a result, major publishing houses and book companies threw olive branches to him, hoping to poach Li Zehao, and the conditions offered were more generous than the other!

The most willing to spend money, is Longteng Culture Publishing House, this publishing house and the Chinese Publishing House of the scale and strength are almost the same, when negotiating with Sun Hao "Love in the Neck Period" and "Ethereal Journey" when the publication matters, Longteng Culture Publishing House also sent people, and also insisted to the end.

It's a pity that their editor Long Wanping is not as bold as Li Zehao, so that in the end, the Chinese Publishing House had the last laugh.

This made the high-level leaders of Longteng Culture Publishing House regret and learned from the pain, they decided to dig Li Zehao at all costs, not to mention anything else, just because of the cooperative relationship between him and Sun Hao, their publishing house will not suffer!

Therefore, this time, in order to recruit Li Zehao, they opened the high position of vice president, and also gave him 5% of the dry shares of the publishing house!

This stroke simply surprised countless people in the industry!

Li Zehao himself didn't react, during this time he has been busy counting the sales data of various places, as well as arranging the printing of "Ethereal Journey", and he can only sleep in the living room when he even goes home, for fear of waking up his wife and children who are already asleep, how can he have time to think about these things.

However, he didn't react, but Feng Ruisheng, the president of the Chinese Publishing House, was anxious.

What's the matter? I've managed to restore a little bit of the publishing house to its former glory, and you people can't stand it anymore, so you have to poach my great heroes? I'm just not going to let you succeed!

This Feng Ruisheng is also domineering, and after passing the anger with several vice presidents, he immediately convened a whole society meeting, appointing Li Zehao as the vice president of the Chinese Publishing House, in charge of the book editing business, in view of Li Zehao's recent outstanding performance, rewarding 8% of the publishing house's dry shares.

Happiness came too suddenly, and Li Zehao was stunned all of a sudden.
