Monday, Chinese Bookstore.

As the No. 1 bookstore chain in the Chinese Empire, Hanhua Bookstore sells not only books, but also newspapers, magazines, cassette tapes and records.

Many newspapers and magazines across the country have cooperated with Hanhua Bookstore and distributed goods to the whole country through Hanhua Bookstore, and Jianghu Magazine is no exception.

Lin Ming is a college student, and his college life is much easier than the tension of high school study, and he can devote more time to the martial arts novels he loves.

There is a Hanhua bookstore next to the school, which is very complete with all kinds of books, and you can find newly published martial arts novels or issued martial arts magazines.

Monday was the day when the magazine was released, and Lin Ming came to the Hanhua Bookstore again, went straight to the martial arts magazine area, and saw the ancient martial arts, rivers and lakes and great martial arts in a conspicuous position at a glance.

I took off the three magazines separately and flipped through them in my hand, and the delicate paper still seemed to carry the residual heat of machine printing, as if there was a faint fragrance of ink on the tip of my nose.

Seeing that the printing of the magazines was still meticulous and the illustrations were still exquisite, Lin Ming was relieved, and took the three magazines to pay, and for the next week to half a month, this was his spiritual food.

In this era when the Internet has just emerged and has not yet been popularized on a large scale, paper books are still the first choice for people to read.

In addition to the booming business of chain bookstores, there are also small bookstalls across the country, which are placed on the roadside, in night markets or outside schools.

Not far from the gate of a certain middle school, there is a small bookstall that many students in the school who like to read books will visit here.

Sun Chengcai is a student who likes to read, but he likes martial arts novels, and basically as long as he has time, he will hang out at the bookstall .

Especially on Monday, the day when the latest issues of various martial arts magazines are released, he will go to the bookstall to see if there are any good books and good stories.

"Boss, has the new issue of modern and ancient martial arts and rivers and lakes arrived?"

As soon as he came to the bookshelf, Sun Chengcai asked.

Because as long as he has time, he will come to the bookstall for a walk, Sun Chengcai and the boss are familiar with each other, and the boss is also a fan of martial arts novels, the two have a common topic and become friends.

Every issue of the new modern and ancient martial arts and rivers and lakes, no matter whether they sell well or not, the boss will leave a copy for him.

Among the three first-class martial arts magazines in China, Sun Chengcai likes modern and ancient martial arts and rivers and lakes the most, and the big martial arts is a little worse, not only in terms of fame and sales, but also in terms of content, which is indeed slightly inferior to the first two magazines.

The boss pointed to the corner of the bookstall and said, "It's here, there, you can see for yourself." This issue of the ancient martial arts published a long article by Zhuge Yun, which looks okay, there is a video of Pingxia on the rivers and lakes, written by a newcomer, which is also very good. ”

Sun Chengcai squatted over, first picked up the ancient martial arts and looked at it, and the short story in front of him flipped through, focusing on Zhuge Yun's long story.

After reading the beginning, I thought it was pretty good, and I was about to buy it, but I picked it up again and flipped to the Pingxia video recording, and my eyes lit up immediately.

"Boss, I buy Jianghu. ”

Sun Chengcai's living expenses are not much every week, he is frugal, and the rest is only enough to buy a martial arts magazine, so he will carefully select and buy one from the ancient martial arts and rivers and lakes.

The beginning of Zhuge Yun's long story is not bad, but it is not as good as the beginning of Ping's Traceless Film, which makes Sun Chengcai feel that the writing is brilliant, yes, it is brilliant.

Luo County, a certain high school.

It was the end of school in the afternoon, the school gate was opened, and many students flocked out, some went to the restaurant outside to eat, some to buy groceries, and some to go home.

Zhang Yang was a member of the army of returning home, walking in the direction of home as usual, and saw a bookstore opposite, surrounded by many people.

"That's right, the new issue of martial arts magazine came out today. ”

Zhang Yang muttered softly to himself, touched his pocket, and happened to have money, so he decided to take a look.

Everyone who reads martial arts magazines in the country knows the three periodicals of modern and ancient martial arts, Jianghu and Dawulin, and Zhang Yang generally reads these three books.

Quickly got a book of big martial arts, quickly flipped through it, saw if there were any interesting or particularly exciting stories, and then exchanged ancient martial arts with others, and finally looked at the rivers and lakes.

As a student, unless you are particularly rich, you generally borrow books to read, and only buy the one you are most interested in, and you will not buy more.

"Hey, isn't this the martial arts novel that aired on TV, I said why it was off the air, it turned out to be published, and this must be bought. ”

turned out an unexpected surprise, which made Zhang Yang very excited and immediately paid for it.

People from Jianghu Publishing House, Distribution Department and Content Editorial Department all gathered together and waited for news.

As the editor-in-chief of the content editorial department, Wang Bing was somewhat unsure, and hurriedly changed to a novel, not knowing if it would have an impact on sales.

She thinks that Ping's Tracer video is good, and it is a good long martial arts novel, but after all, it is a newcomer's work, and she has not experienced the test of the market, and if the results are not out, she can't feel at ease.

The price of one hundred and five thousand words has exceeded the price of a newcomer, and it is generally a price that can only be owned by the author of a long or several short stories that has published a small fire.

At the beginning, Zhuge Yun's long story was published on the rivers and lakes, and the price of the negotiation was 15 thousand words, and he switched to modern and ancient martial arts, and only then did he mention 18 thousand words.

A mistake will not have much impact on Wang Bing's status in the magazine, not to mention that this time I can't complain about her, it is Zhuge Yun's treachery, she is just saving the scene.

But as a senior executive of the magazine, she definitely doesn't want the sales of the magazine to be sluggish, the higher the sales, the better, preferably more than the ancient martial arts, so that she can breathe a sigh of joy.

"It's out, it's out, sales are out. ”

An employee of the distribution department rushed in.

"How much did it sell?"

The manager of the distribution department hurriedly asked, Wang Bing didn't show much urgency, but he also pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

The employee replied: "There are 100,000 copies that have been taken away, and it is said that they are selling quite well, and 50,000 copies have been ordered by channel dealers later." ”

The manager said with a happy face: "It's only been half a day, and it's already 150,000 copies, which is good, it's better than most of the time." ”

The circulation of Jianghu magazines is about 600,000 copies per issue, and most of them will be sold in the first week, and then they will be scattered in the future, and there will be a total of tens of thousands of copies.

Under normal circumstances, every issue of Jianghu magazine is on sale, and it would be good to sell 100,000 copies on the first day, but I don't want to, this time I sold an extra 50,000 copies.

In the next few days, the sales were not better day by day, at least not worse than the first day, and more than 700,000 copies were sold in a week.

A week later, sales will definitely drop sharply, however, some will be sold intermittently, and there is a high probability that the sales of this issue will exceed 800,000, which is about to catch up with the best sales in the history of Jianghu magazine.

The highest sales volume of Jianghu magazine is 960,000 copies in one issue, which is to invite a domestic martial arts master to serialize it on Jianghu, so that the sales of several issues of Jianghu magazine continue to rise.

At the same time as the sales flooded, there was also the word-of-mouth of Ping's Tracer Film, and readers' feedback reached the magazine through various channels, praising this issue of Jianghu Magazine, and also specifically mentioning Ping's Trace, saying that he looked forward to more and more exciting follow-ups.

When the final sales, the data of 780,000 copies were placed in front of Wang Bing, the shock to her was great, and the Pingxia video had just started, and continued to be serialized, and when it came to more exciting content, the sales could be increased, maybe it would not necessarily break through 900,000.

Thinking of this, Wang Bing was excited, breaking through the sales of 900,000, what kind of concept is this, this is the appeal of martial arts masters.

"Jingle Bell ......"

A phone rang, interrupting Wang Bing's shock and thoughts.

"Hey, editor-in-chief, you said sales, I saw it, it's really good, I didn't expect it in advance. Yes, yes, I have long seen that Ping's Trace Hero is a good book, otherwise, I would not have given a high price of 150 words per 1,000 words, but I didn't expect it to play such a big role in boosting the magazine's sales. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm going to have a good relationship with the author, well, okay, okay, I'll tell him, if the magazine sells more than 800,000 copies, I'll give him a fee......"

Chapter 2 is delivered.
