Chapter 26: Record Breaking
"What's the noise?"
Teacher Li relied on his old qualifications, and his eyes glared at the whispering people with displeasure. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info what he wants to hear most now is how much Liu Qing's Xunmengji sells.
These guys who have no eyes are shouting at this time!
"Mr. Li, we are strange, why has the book sales data of our publishing house increased so much this month?"
One of them whispered to Teacher Li to explain.
"Isn't that normal?"
Mr. Li frowned and said disdainfully: "You have been in the editing industry for several years, and the secretaries recently published by our publishing house are of good quality, such as Mr. Zhao Zhiqian's review and publication of the decisive battle front door, the author writes well, there are more readers, it must be grown, this is called the driving effect." ”
"The bookseller saw that the book of our publishing house was selling well, and naturally when it was restocked, it would also buy more other books, isn't this a normal thing, as for such a fuss?"
When the man heard Mr. Li's words, he nodded and said, "Mr. Li, what you said is right, but I feel that if you talk about the most influential, it should be the Hurricane Dart Game that you reviewed, and the sales data is about to reach 100,000 copies!" If that's the case, you should take the most credit. ”
When Mr. Li heard his words, he felt comfortable for a while, smiled reservedly, and said, "There is some truth in your analysis, but not all of this is my credit, everyone has a share." Although his mouth was modest, his face was extremely proud.
“…… Finally, let me talk about the sales of Xun Mengji, which was personally written by Mr. Liu Qing of our editorial department. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhigang paused, restrained his smile, and said: "Let me sell it first, let's guess, how much do you think there should be in the sales of Xun Mengji?" ”
"150,000 copies!"
Wang Xiaobo was the first to shout, and in his opinion it was simply lice on the top of a bald man's head -- obviously. The first printing of 50,000 copies of Xun Mengji, and then the additional printing of 100,000 copies, must have sold out all of them.
"That's not right." Wang Zhigang smiled, "Keep guessing." ”
"Is it 120,000 copies?" Another editor spoke.
"Not really." Wang Zhigang continued to shake his head.
Next, a few more people guessed one after another, some said 80,000 copies, some said 90,000 copies, but Wang Zhigang shook his head.
"It should be around 60,000 to 70,000 copies!"
Teacher Li pondered for a moment and gave out a number. Relative to the others, he guessed that the sales were in the middle.
"Oh?" Wang Zhigang raised his eyebrows, "Teacher Li, why do you say that?" ”
"Judging by my experience."
Mr. Li saw Wang Zhigang's expression, and immediately felt relieved, in this way, he was still the sales champion of last month, and he was still suspicious and frightened, he coughed and said confidently: "As a newcomer, a new book, although the creativity of Xun Meng Ji is full of novelty, many readers are not very fond of new authors. ”
"Also, I noticed a detail just now, when Mr. Wang talked about the sales of Xun Meng Ji for everyone to guess, you definitely didn't notice that the smile on Mr. Wang's face disappeared. If Xun Mengji's sales can really be above 100,000 copies, then he will definitely not be the expression he has now. ”
Teacher Li coughed, smiled reservedly, and said seriously: "So strictly speaking, I can be regarded as a trick...... In addition, Liu Qing, I have to tell you that the sales of your first book can reach about 60,000 to 70,000 copies, which is also a very remarkable achievement. For example, the sales data for the first month of the Hurricane Dart Bureau that I reviewed is actually about that. ”
"In fact, for a newcomer, you can achieve such results, which is already unexpected to me. If the quality of your next few volumes can be maintained at this level, you may be able to hit the 100,000 volume mark. ”
Teacher Li's words were methodical and reasonable, and as soon as he said it, several people present couldn't help but nod.
"Mr. Li's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, which is good."
"Ginger is still old and spicy."
Wang Zhigang patiently listened to Mr. Li's analysis, without any expression on his face, turned his head to Liu Qing and said, "Liu Qing, do you think Mr. Li's guess is right?" ”
Liu Qing smiled slightly, "I think this is purely his personal imagination." ”
Teacher Li smiled contemptuously, "Liu Qing, the imaginary person is you, not me." Got it? ”
Wang Zhigang glanced at Mr. Li and continued to say to Liu Qing: "Then what do you think should be the sales volume of Xun Mengji?" ”
Liu Qing actually had the answer in his heart, he didn't think about it, and said directly: "It will definitely not be less than 200,000 copies!" ”
"What?"
"Two hundred thousand copies?"
"How is that possible?"
"It seems that 150,000 copies of this Xun Meng Ji were printed last month? How could it be possible to get an extra 50,000 copies out of thin air? ”
Teacher Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice was very loud, and he didn't hide it at all, "Liu Qing, didn't you wake up today?" Hehe. 200,000 copies! How can it be! ”
Liu Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, stared at Wang Zhigang and said, "Teacher Wang, do you think I guessed right?" ”
Everyone also stopped talking, and couldn't wait to see if this time it was Mr. Li who was right, or Liu Qing who was right.
However, the vast majority of people think that the figure Liu Qing said is too exaggerated.
The best-selling book in the history of Oriental Publishing House is not as many as 200,000 copies! Moreover, that was many years ago, when the author also became a second-tier author with this book.
"Hehe, Liu Qing, are you so confident?"
The corners of Wang Zhigang's mouth showed a smile, "Do you think the sales of 200,000 copies can be easily achieved?" ”
"I'm not sure about other books, but I can definitely achieve it." Liu Qing looked at him confidently.
"Young people are young, I don't know how thick the sky is, the current martial arts novel market is so sluggish, and it is already very good to be able to sell sixty or seventy thousand copies."
Teacher Li smiled faintly, "As soon as you open your mouth, it is 200,000 copies, do you really think that these 200,000 copies are so easy to sell?" He shook his head, it seems that the first place of the month belongs to him again.
"Hehe, you're really brave enough."
Wang Zhigang stared at Liu Qing for a long time, shook his head and laughed, and raised the counted book sales data in his hand, "Now I will announce the sales of Xun Mengji...... That's 217,300 copies! Congratulations to Liu Qing, congratulations to Xun Meng Ji, it broke the single-volume sales record of our Oriental Publishing House! ”
