Chapter 43 Bestsellers

"It's my uncle, he knows that you are going to Shanghai, so he has to pick you up in person. Let me ask you about your itinerary. ”

"Oh, okay, I'll get in touch with him then. However, if we let my uncle pick it up in person when we meet for the first time, will he have an opinion on my nephew and son-in-law? ”

"There are five more competitions in the Essay Contest, and you will be in Shanghai for a month. If it's not too much trouble, just stay with your uncle. In this way, there are many things to take care of. Lin Baoer ignored him and said her thoughts to herself.

"It's not good to go to my uncle's house for a month. It's too much of a delay in their family's life. ”

"My uncle lives alone and often doesn't come home. Nothing inconvenient. ”

"Huh? What about my aunt, cousin or cousin? ”

"He's not married, where is the child?"

Even happier is undoubtedly Zhu's mother. Her son quietly participated in the essay contest and won the first place, which was too much for her.

The nature of this time is different from writing songs and fairy tales. Writing songs and fairy tales will always despise three points in people's subconscious.

Although Zhu Ziqing became popular as Qiye some time ago, many reporters also came to the school for interviews, and Zhu's mother was interviewed seven or eight times a day. Not to mention that glory. But compared with the first place in the preliminary round of the Essay Contest, those are simply not worth mentioning.

"Teacher Su, is the first place in the essay contest your son?" As soon as class ended, Zhu's mother was surrounded by several teachers from the next class.

"Haha...... Yes, that's him. Teacher Ma also looked at the list? Mother Zhu made no secret of her joy.

"How can you not care about such a big thing. Ziqing's child is a child, and he has a chance to look at it, and some time ago he was writing songs and fairy tales. I thought it was already powerful. I didn't expect it to be better than I thought. ”

"It's not just talent, but the most popular thing about this kid is that he is sensible. The song he wrote for us, I was moved every time I listened to it. I still want to listen to it after listening to it so many times. Why do you think this kid is so versatile? ”

"Teacher Su, the semi-finals have to go to Mingzhu City, who are you and your old Zhu going to accompany him?"

"You see that I am so happy that I have forgotten about it. No, I'm going to go home and talk to his dad. Zhu's mother remembered this stubble after being reminded by her colleagues, and she couldn't stay any longer. Hurriedly said goodbye to a few teachers and hurriedly walked outside the teaching building.

The rest of the teachers laughed good-naturedly when they saw this.

On the day when the list of the preliminary round of the Shuowen Interpretation Essay Contest was announced, Zhu Ziqing's new work "Little Doudou by the Window" was also officially released. The reason why the date is set today is also deliberate.

Although the essay contest will steal the attention of all the media, such a grand event that the whole people pay attention to will also stimulate the consumption of readers, thereby driving the overall situation of the book publishing market. According to statistics, the overall sales of the book market during the competition period were several times higher than in other time periods.

This period was also the most competitive time in the publishing industry. Anyone with a bit of self-confidence wants to enter the market when it is higher. As a result, new books are coming out. On the day the list was announced, more than 10 authors released new books.

According to Tao Yingshuang's plan, it is necessary to avoid this sensitive time period. Because he really can't afford to lose. In the end, it was Zhu Ziqing who was the main one, and he reluctantly agreed.

The reason why Zhu Ziqing set the date today is not only because of his trust in the quality of the books. And another reason is this list. He believes that with the quality of the classics of his previous life, there is absolutely no problem in passing the preliminary round. When the time comes, taking advantage of the east wind of the list, his new book will not be able to go unnoticed.

Of course, he didn't tell Tao Yingshuang about this. If you spread it everywhere before the result comes out, it will only make others think that you are arrogant.

But the outcome of the matter was also somewhat unexpected to him. Not only did he pass the preliminary round, but he was also selected as the first place. But that's good news, isn't it?

Tao Yingshuang also learned the news that Zhu Ziqing won the first place in the preliminary round for the first time. Surprised, he didn't forget his identity, and immediately started a new round of publicity.

First of all, a big red banner was hung on the official website: "Warmly celebrate the signing writer Zhu Ziqing (Seven Nights) of our company for winning the first place in the preliminary round of the Essay Interpretation Essay Competition." ”

He also knew that the official website of his publishing house had no views at all, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to all the booksellers he cooperated with: "The author of "Little Doudou by the Window" Qiye (Zhu Ziqing) won the first place in the preliminary round of the essay contest. Hope to spread the word. ”

Then, Tao Yingshuang's mobile phone began to ring non-stop, and one called the other before he hung up. All of them were booksellers who called to inquire about the truth of the matter. This time, Tao Yingshuang was not annoyed at all, and everyone patiently explained.

Never underestimate the efficiency of businessmen, as long as they have money. There's nothing they can't do.

It didn't take long for such a scene to happen in many bookstores across the country. The advertisement in the most prominent position was urgently replaced. The new poster reads in the most conspicuous font: The first winner of the preliminary round of the Essay Contest Qiye's latest work "Little Doudou by the Window" is welcome to buy.

Many bookstores have rearranged the books piled up in the corner in the most conspicuous position, and countless shopping guides have also received orders from their superiors at the same time: focus on recommending "Little Doudou by the Window".

With the concerted efforts of many people, "Little Doudou", which was not very important, has become the most anticipated work.

Don't underestimate the lethality of the "first place in the preliminary round of the essay contest" to readers. Anyone who chooses to buy a book during this time period will be affected by the competition to some extent. Even a lot of people come to buy books because of the competition.

When they see the freshly baked first place work in the preliminary round, how can they not stop and pay attention. As long as they are willing to pay attention, based on the quality of the book, I don't believe they will not buy it.

Zhu Ziqing understands this, Tao Yingshuang also understands this, and those booksellers understand this even more.

And the sales of the day did not disappoint everyone, reaching 47,571 books. It ranked third on the new book list and sixteenth on the overall list. Newcomer's new work, the first day of sales almost exceeded 50,000, this is the first time this year. Zhu Ziqing unknowingly set a new record.

Everyone knows that when the news of Zhu Ziqing winning the first place in the competition spreads, and after the first batch of people who bought the book share their reading experiences, the sales of this book will really explode.

But what everyone didn't expect was that it exploded so quickly and so suddenly.

The next day, Tao Yingshuang drove to work at the publishing house as usual. It's just that his mood today is completely different from before. He used to have a headache when he thought of the publishing house, but now he can't close his mouth when he laughs. The company's staff mentality has also changed greatly. After all, the company has a future, and they can do things with peace of mind.

When I came to the office, my butt was next to the chair, and the phone rang.

"Hey, Mr. Yang is so early."

"Mr. Tao, don't say these kind words, do you still have stock there, send me five hundred copies. I've already sent you the money. ”

Mr. Yang's words made Tao Yingshuang stunned, but he knew the virtue of the lord opposite. In the past, I always gave him the book first and sold it before paying. How did you settle the money so quickly today? Where did the sun come out. Doubts are doubts, who doesn't earn money if they have money.

"No problem, I'll send you the book right away. Five hundred copies. ”

As soon as the phone hung up here, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Tao, that little Doudou, send me another 400 copies, and the money will be remitted to you immediately."

"Mr. Tao, Xiaodoudou, five hundred copies. Coming soon. ”

“……”

Yesterday's scene was staged again, but it was his first text message yesterday, and others called to verify it. Today, they took the initiative to call, and they spoke as politely as they wanted.

At this moment, the inventory of kung fu was reduced by nearly 70,000 copies. This is still a direct call to him, and he believes that the number in the sales department must be higher than this.

Call the sales manager and sure enough. From the time I went to work until now, the phone has not stopped. A total of 190,000 copies were sold. And it's all paid in two.

What's going on? Could it be that the title of the first place in the preliminary round of the essay contest is so easy to use? Tao Yingshuang was puzzled.

"Mr. Tao, give me 600 copies of "Little Doudou by the Window". Just thinking about it, the phone call came again, and I still wanted a book if I didn't expect.

"Mr. Liu, you've confused me. Didn't you order 200 copies last time, why did you sell them out? This time, Tao Yingshuang did not agree directly, but asked sideways.

"You don't know, there were dozens of people queuing up early this morning to buy "Little Beanie by the Window". After these people left, someone came over every few minutes to buy. I don't think I can even hold up at noon.

I inquired, and most of these people are parents of children. They said that they saw on the Internet that everyone was saying that Seven Nights' new book was very suitable for children to read, and they were going to buy it home for their children to read. Mr. Tao, you are going to be developed this time, don't forget my brother and me in the future. ”

Online? got the answer he wanted, Tao Yingshuang hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words. After opening the computer and searching, I finally understood what happened.

There are two aspects to this. The first aspect is that Zhu Ziqing said in an exclusive interview with Dajiang Daily that the protagonist of this book is a little girl. The content of the book is also very warm and suitable for children to read.

The biggest audience of Seven Nights Fairy Tale is children, and parents have initially established trust in him. Now he says the new book is suitable for children. Many parents bought the book right away.

Parents who buy books usually go through the books themselves to determine whether they are suitable to tell their children. The results are naturally positive. After reading it, some parents went to the parent-child website to share their experiences. The combination of Qiye's reputation in the fairy tale world and the recommendation of some parents has attracted a large number of parents.

The second aspect has to start with "Children's Literature and Art". Zhu Ziqing won the first place in the preliminary round of the essay contest, and as a cooperative object, they naturally hyped it up. Like Tao Yingshuang's publishing house, their official website also has a big red banner.

Unlike Tao Yingshuang Publishing House, as one of the few magazines with sales exceeding 2 million, its official website has a very high number of visits. Especially after the establishment of the Seven Nights Fairy Tale section, a large part of Zhu Ziqing's fans are concentrated here.

People who like the Seven Nights fairy tale are excited after seeing this news can be imagined. Many people spontaneously went elsewhere to help him with propaganda.
