Chapter 188: The Law of Ten Thousand
"What's the matter, Lao Chen, I'm so anxious to call someone to call me. ”
Li Hai, who was notified from the editorial office, hurried to Chen Zhihaide's office before he even had time to eat dinner.
He thought that Lao Chen was going to do some kind of planning.
"Come, you sit first. Seeing the beads of sweat on the forehead of this old guy who rushed over, Chen Zhihai smiled and personally brought him a chair from the office for him to sit down.
"Haven't eaten yet, do you want me to ask someone to go downstairs and fry you your favorite shredded pork with golden sauce?" As he spoke, Chen Zhihai began to wave to his assistant, intending to ask him to buy some side dishes. Then he said, "By the way, bring another bottle of burning knives." Lao Li, he's just a mouthful......"
"Gotta have it, just say it if you have anything. Don't engage in these useless ......" Li Hai took Chen Zhihai's hand and said, "If you really want to eat, you won't be called over." ”
"If you really want to invite me to dinner, explain it to me first. Why are you in such a hurry to call me over? I don't know your character......? Tell me, what the hell is going on?" said Lehi affirmatively.
"Tsk-Lao Li, this is your fault. How to invite you to dinner, I am all with a purpose, you ......"
Chen Zhihai's mellow face has a shrewd smile on his face, giving people an inexplicable feeling between sincerity and routine.
Of course, Lehi didn't believe his nonsense. After all, he has also dealt with Chen Zhihai for more than ten years, and he knows his character very well.
The more benefits you give, the more you will be rewarded. After all, businessmen don't make investments that don't return on income.
And there must be something going on with calling him over in such a hurry today. And it's certainly hard for him to speak.
Otherwise, he would not use this kind of small routine in the business field to greet Lehi, who has dealt with him for more than ten years.
Li Hai looked at Chen Zhihai, who never told the truth, and didn't speak, and then kept staring at Chen Zhihai's eyes, which were like sharp swords, trying to pierce Chen Zhihai's so-called "face".
Finally, Chen Zhihai was stared at by Li Hai and felt uncomfortable, even after so many years of crawling in the business sea, he couldn't stand it.
Chen Zhihai sighed lightly, then pulled over a chair and sat opposite to Li Hai, and said, "Lao Li, I won't hide it from you, I called you over today because of the thing you told me last time......
Then, Chen Zhihai told Li Hai what he had heard from Minister Jiang today.
"Is that a good thing, then? isn't it going in the direction we hope?" Lehi was also very happy to hear this, after all, this author was the one he was talking about.
"And what are you ashamed of about this matter? What can't we say directly, do we have to engage in some twists and turns in the business field?" Li Hai looked at Chen Zhihai for a while.
"Isn't it because I didn't take the thing you said to heart last time?" Hearing the old man's count, Chen Zhihai was not annoyed at all, but let go.
"Last time, you told me about another generation of masters, how can I believe it? After all, a martial arts master like Huang Yong is something that our publishing house can encounter, but after reading today's data, I realized that I was short-sighted. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't pay too much attention to it, I would have let this "Covering the Sky" be released a little later, I believe I wouldn't have known that there is such a person who can be compared to Master Huang Yong today. ”
"If other publishers are poached on better terms, it will be too late to cry at that time......"
The shrewd smile on Chen Zhihai's fat and round face had a hint of bitterness at this time, and it seemed that he really regretted not listening to Li Hai's words.
After all, he knows how difficult it is to sell out 10,000 copies in less than a week without any publicity.
And the only thing that could sell so much in a week was the big wave that appeared when the Han Dynasty first started cultural reform.
At that time, when fighting against the invasion of foreign cultures, the whole country of the Han Dynasty engaged in traditional culture, whether it was novels, poems, songs, dances, movies, animations, and so on, a lot of things would bring a bit of Han Dynasty style.
And the most popular thing at that time was martial arts novels, and almost no one knew about martial arts novels at that time. Later, a writer named Huang Yong brought the word martial arts to the entire Han Dynasty and even the world.
And he also let the whole world know the three words chivalry, rivers and lakes and kung fu. He was also the first to counter-invade the martial arts culture of the Han Dynasty abroad.
Even in the movies and TV series remade by later generations, foreigners were given the illusion that the Han Dynasty people knew martial arts and could fly around.
It even made the martial arts craze of the Han Dynasty appear in foreign countries for a long time, so that many foreigners came to the Han Dynasty to learn the legendary kung fu of being able to fly the eaves and walk the wall.
It wasn't until I came here that I found out that the kung fu that existed in the Han Dynasty was a lie.
It turns out that they also walk normally like us, and it turns out that real kung fu is impossible to jump dozens of meters high like in the movie.
Just when I thought that the kung fu of the Han Dynasty was all fake, many foreigners saw some inconspicuous people, and they easily fought four or five of them.
This makes these foreigners really haggard, they thought it was true, but the result was fake, they thought it was fake, and suddenly some high-ranking people broke common sense.
Let them begin to be filled with a sense of awe for this mysterious oriental land.
Although the Han Dynasty in this world was originally the largest country in the world. After all, the wheel of history deviated from its path on the original track and ran to a sunny avenue. A great dynasty that has stood for more than a thousand years has continued.
It was Huang Yong who unveiled the first shot of the counter-cultural invasion, and later someone followed suit, so that the traditional culture of the Han Dynasty was preserved.
And Huang Yong's achievements are also due to the publication of his first book "Jianghu" in an obscure publishing house, which sold more than 10,000 in just one week, a result that few people have been able to achieve until later. And it is in the absence of publicity.
But the authors who were able to approach the figure of ten thousand were hardly too bad later.
So much so that the publishing house has an unwritten rule, that is, the law of 10,000 -
New writers reach the standard of 10,000 copies a week without any publicity.
So today, when he learned that Liu Yu's "Covering the Sky" sold 10,000 copies in less than a week, Chen Zhihai was shocked.
And in today's increasingly developed e-reading, it is incredible to be able to sell 10,000 a week.
