Chapter 187 Increase the printing quota
After hanging up the sign, the newspaper owner slapped his head and realized that this could be a business opportunity.
Why is it that so many people come to ask about this book without any publicity?
Is it a book by a big name in the industry? But the book of a big name is usually publicized by the publishing house through the media, and then some public opinion is created on the Internet to stimulate real consumption.
It's like a movie being released on the Internet, and publicity is indispensable.
But why didn't this book hear a little rumor, let alone publicity.
After thinking about it for a long time, the boss didn't figure it out, but he knew that many people would buy this book. After all, the people who came to ask about this book today are not much worse if there are not twenty people who have arrived.
Although more than 20 people don't look like a lot, as a newsstand, it's a blessing that 10 people go to buy books a day.
In short, there is nothing wrong with buying more goods, and the sales of books at the newsstand are not very large anyway.
Thinking that even if he loses, he can't lose much, so he closed his shop with the mentality of being bold and having enough to eat. I drove a van to pull goods.
Although the books at the newsstand are generally delivered by the post office on time every day, newspapers and magazines.
But the boss, as a person with ideas, is not enough to earn agency fees and distribution fees.
The boss with his ideas came to the largest book city in Lake City.
This is the largest book city in Lake City, and it is also the largest channel for various bookstores in Lake City to get goods.
But after coming here, the boss found an embarrassing problem.
That is, the book he asked about was long gone, and many people had already come to pick up the goods a few hours ago.
And from here it is known that the circulation of the book itself is not large.
Including the owners here in the book city, they are wondering why such a best-selling book has such a small circulation?
"Then why don't you hurry up and ask this publishing house to release more. The newspaper owner grabbed his hair and said to the staff of the book city with an anxious expression.
The newspaper owner knew deeply that he might have found a treasure this time. And there are still very few people who know about it, so can you get as much profit as possible before more people know?
"Someone has already said this to me before you, and the above has already contacted this publisher to increase circulation. ”
"Then you must contact me when you have goods here!" The newspaper owner took the staff member's hand and emphasized it repeatedly, and left the phone number of the person.
The newspaper owner, who didn't get the goods, returned home a little disappointed.
……
Yangcheng, the headquarters of Langxing Publishing House.
"Hello, this is ......"
"What? Last week's martial arts weekly data dropped again? What are you all doing to eat......
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, the famous artist who was negotiated last time is already planning to submit to us......
At this time, the office building area of Langxing Publishing House was full of people, and the entire office area was filled with a busy atmosphere.
"What? Is it asking for this book to be printed again?" At this time, Minister Jiang of the Langxing Marketing Department heard the report of his subordinates, and his forehead wrinkled tightly, forming a Sichuan character.
As the deputy minister of the marketing department, Old Man Jiang has not encountered this kind of thing for a long time. After all, the entire marketing department received dozens of calls a day asking for an additional book called "Covering the Sky". It's just so unusual.
Because none of the famous books screened out for distribution by the editorial department received dozens of calls from different places asking for reprinting in a day.
But it's a good thing all in all.
"You go to the printing department and add a few more layers to the printing of the book. After casually speaking, Minister Jiang began to look at the monthly report sent by his subordinates.
Until he accidentally saw a book called "Covering the Sky", he was stunned for a moment.
Because this book is the book that the employees under him have just come up to report, and they have received dozens of phone calls a day asking for reprinting.
And what surprised him the most was that the book was released in just one week.
"Come back!"
Minister Jiang shouted, startling the employees who had just received the order and had not yet walked out of the office door.
"How long has it been since this book was released?" the minister seemed to be in disbelief, feeling that he thought his eyes were dazzled, so he asked the employee who was taken aback by him with a serious face.
"No, less than a week. Yes, is there any problem? Minister Jiang ......" said the female employee holding the report.
"It's amazing, it's amazing......" After getting the confirmation from the staff, Minister Jiang muttered to himself.
Then he immediately put down the report in his hand, stood up, and walked out vigorously. As he walked, he said to the startled female employee:
"You don't want to go to the printing department. Now I'm going to go to Editor-in-Chief Chen......"
……
"Editor-in-chief, we may have found a treasure this time!" said Minister Jiang excitedly as soon as he arrived at Chen Zhihai's office.
"Oh, what's the situation?" Chen Zhihai said, looking up at Minister Jiang.
Minister Jiang suppressed his mood and explained what happened in his voice as calmly as possible. He also explained to Chen Zhihai what a big loss it would be if he didn't dig up this "gold" buried in the soil.
You must know that as a writer who has not relied on any publicity and any fame, it is quite difficult to sell out the book in less than a week of the trial release.
And the only thing that can be done is that the book written by this author is really popular with the public. Popularity means that the book is a bestseller.
That's why Minister Jiang described it as a piece of "gold".
"Is it really so powerful?" Hearing Minister Jiang's return, Chen Zhihai was also surprised in his heart, could it really be like what Lao Li said?
"No, it can't be. Although this book is a bestseller, it is not as good as Lao Li said. Chen Zhihai shook his head in his heart, denying what Lao Li said that the author's theory could accelerate the decline of a novel faction.
"Of course. Hearing that the editor-in-chief was a little disbelieving, Minister Jiang hurriedly took out the report he had seen and asked him to look at it.
Until he saw the data on the report, although Chen Zhihai still didn't believe what the old guy said, he also paid a lot of attention to it.
And indeed, as Li Hai expected, Liu Yu's "Covering the Sky" was able to sell out 10,000 copies of the trial release in less than a week.
Now that it has reached the expectations of the old man, Chen Zhihai is also a lot bolder in his heart.
He immediately notified him to increase the printing quota of "Covering the Sky" to 100,000 copies, and then asked people to call his old man Li Hai over to discuss how to seize this opportunity.
