，？ On the morning of February 28, 8, a sample of the inaugural issue of Reading was sent to the Guanghua Paper Mill in Shanghai, and then the magazine, which had been pinned on by the editorial department of Reading, swarmed out of the assembly line equipment of the printing plant through the skillful operation of the printing workers. On the afternoon of the flying day, the "Reading" magazine, whose inaugural issue was set at 50,000 copies, was neatly placed in the Mou room of the printing house, where the finished products were placed, and then a large truck Mou, which had already been ready to be launched, transported the 50,000 copies of the magazine to the Shanghai Post Office.

From 2? Since then, the "Reading" magazine has been transported to all parts of the country by various modes of transportation according to the distance of the postal system.

，？ On the day of the 84th month, Chuangliu's "Reading" appeared on time on bookshelves and counters across the country.

For all the staff members of the "Reading" magazine, whether or not the inaugural issue can be completely sold will have a bearing on their future careers, and this is not only a matter for them to be an editorial department, but also related to other colleagues of Sanlian Bookstore, to the veteran leaders of Sanlian Bookstore, and to the status and premise of Sanlian Bookstore in the People's Publishing House.

Therefore, the first issue of Reading magazine did not openly solicit manuscripts, and all articles were carefully selected by the editors in advance and specially invited by this writer to write the manuscript, and they absolutely did not allow failure

On the morning of this day, every editorial staff member in the editorial office of "Reading" on Julu Road in Shanghai was restless, although everyone had work to do, but everyone seemed a little absent-minded, and everyone's eyes were focused on the office of the editor-in-chief, Tu Changshen.

The door of the editor-in-chief's office, which opened up a separate room in the large office, was not closed at the moment, and from the open door, everyone's eyes could see that Tu Chang Shen was sitting at the desk and writing something on the desk, while the phone in the upper right corner of the desk was silent.

Although he didn't look up, although he didn't walk out of the office", Tu Changshen still knew the anxious mood of the editors outside the room at the moment. To be honest, he was also very apprehensive in his heart, if the first issue of "Reading" could not be a blockbuster, it would be very strict about the subscription of the magazine in the future.

So the editors outside the room saw that their editor-in-chief was hunched down on the desk and working hard, but Tu Changshen himself understood what he was doing

On the blank manuscript paper in front of him, there was a large mass of black handwriting written densely, and if you looked at these words carefully, you could barely make out the words "read,、,", "50,000 copies,、,", "sales", and so on.

In fact, Tu Changshen, like the editors outside the room, was waiting for the phone on the desk to ring.

The backstage of the editorial department of "Reading" is Sanlian Bookstore, which is affiliated to the People's Publishing House, and the reason why the first issue of "Reading" magazine can spread the whole country is very important because of the close ties between the People's Publishing House and Xinhua bookstores all over the country.

And Tuchangshen is waiting for the call of Xinhua bookstores in Beijing, Nanjing, Tianjin and other big cities with the largest sales.

It's a pity that time flies too slowly", this kind of waiting torment made Tu Changshen, who was all steady, feel impatient.

A panting and stumbling editor in charge of the editorial department of "Reading" opened the door of the editorial office.

The sturdy wooden door slammed into the wall with a clatter, attracting the attention of everyone in the editorial office, including Tu Changshen, who was in a separate room.

As soon as the editor entered the office, he was holding his knees with his hands and panting, and it was obvious that he must have done a strenuous workout just now.

The editors in the editorial office who came back to their senses walked out of their seats one after another with bright eyes and gathered around the editor.

Tu Changshen also walked out, and when he saw that everyone was eagerly asking the editor for news, he couldn't help frowning and said loudly, "Quiet! ”，

Tu Changshen's prestige made everyone quiet, and then everyone made way for Tu Changshen who came over.

Coming to the editor in charge, Tu Changshen took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "How are you inquiring about the door?" ”，

At this time, the panting editor finally relented, and when he heard Tu Changshen's words, he barely straightened up, and then shouted loudly, "Crazy! It's really crazy! ”，

Hearing his words, all the people couldn't help but lift their spirits and get excited.

The reason why this editor was not in the editorial office during working hours was that he was sent by Tu Changshen to the Xinhua Bookstore, the largest bookstore in Shanghai, to investigate the sales of "Reading". Now that he says it's crazy, doesn't it mean that "Reading" is crazy?

Everyone present rejoiced, and embraced each other, regardless of gender, and they succeeded

But Tu Changshen couldn't help frowning.

How can it be? Today is the first day of "Reading", so there must be a process for readers to slowly get acquainted with! How could it be that you went crazy on the first day?

Tu Changshen then asked: What the hell is going on, you tell me in detail. ”，

"That's right," the editor paused, paused, and then continued, "I went to Xinhua Bookstore in Shanghai's Hongkou District first, and at first Reading basically didn't sell much, it wasn't like Reader's Digest and Harvest that were put in the most obvious position by bookstore staff, it was mixed in with many magazines. Then a reader pulled Reading out of the stack, and he just stood there and flipped through it. Somehow, this reader actually burst into tears, and his actions attracted the attention of other readers. This reader turned around and said that he was moved by a novel, which aroused the curiosity of many readers. So everyone else went to read "Reading", and the more than a dozen "Reading" books that were placed on the counter were taken away by the readers at once, and then the readers basically bought our "Reading"! ”，

At this time, a female editor brought a chair to the editor, and after thanking him, the editor continued to explain with great interest: "I left after seeing this situation, and when I left, I noticed that the staff of the bookstore had taken out a stack of "Reading" from the storeroom, and placed it in a position second only to "Harvest"! ”，

"Tubian, you don't know the excitement in my heart at the time, so after arriving at the Xinhua Bookstore in Putuo District, I went in directly and shouted if there is "Reading", "Hehe! ”，

The editor began to tease his cleverness, "You don't know, I went to a bookstore and shouted a few times to let the bookstore readers know that there was such a Reading magazine, and it was really good." The "Reading" books placed outside several bookstores were all sold out at once! There are also scenes where readers start to rush to buy! ”，

Hearing this editor's spitting words, everyone in the editorial department was happy.

And Tu Changshen grasped the point, "Then have you noticed the reaction of these readers who have bought our magazine?" What about their reputation? ”，

"The reputation is very good, especially Li Honglin's "Reading Without Forbidden Zone" and the two articles of Govine, I heard many readers discussing it outside the bookstore! However, it seems that Govwin's two articles are more attractive to readers, "By the way, the reader I first saw who cried out read Govyn's "The Country Teacher".

However, this novel by Govyn is indeed excellent, but it is a pity that it is a work of science fiction,","",

Tu Changshen shook his head and said, "You can't say that, maybe we're really crooked!" The readership of our "Reading" is actually for the intellectuals, for those readers who like to read and like to read, so under normal circumstances, the sales of "Reading" will slowly increase as readers realize the value of our magazine, which is a slow process. Only a text like Gowen's, an unconventional novel will attract readers of all levels! ”，

"I didn't expect our "Reading" magazine to have a blowout?! ”，

Tu Changshen said to himself, and then he looked at the editors who were still around him, and his already strict face was even more stiff: "What are you doing here!" Do you all have nothing to do? Now that you've learned about the situation, you still won't give me a job? ”，

As soon as his words came out, all of them, including the editor who had been panting all the time, immediately scattered like sparrows that had exploded their nests, returned to their seats, and fell on the table and pretended, but the confidence and optimism on everyone's faces could not be concealed.

Tu Changshen turned around and walked towards his office, with a faint smile on his face.

In China in the 80s, there were no idea games, there was no Internet, pop music was just emerging", movies could not be watched every day, television was not available in every house, and the only means of entertainment for the masses was to read books, except for the radio that spread all over the country. And in books", newspapers and magazines undoubtedly occupy a large share.

Although it is only the sales situation in Shanghai, it can also be seen in other regions.

Since "Reading" has such sales results on the first day, I believe that "Reading" will definitely be purchased by more readers in the future

Tu Changshen, who returned to the house, began to worry a little about whether the 50,000 copies of "Reading" could meet the market demand.

The development of things was as expected by Tu Changshen.

At noon that day, Tu Changshen received a call from Beijing and Nanjing, and when he listened to the congratulations of the two Xinhua bookstore managers and the jokes asking him to treat him on the other side of the phone, even though he was as calm as him, he couldn't help but pat the table and readily agreed to the other party's request.

，？ On the 84th of January, the first issue of Reading magazine was put on the market.

Originally, it would take half a month or even a month to sell out of "Reading," but on the first day, a considerable number of magazines in Xinhua bookstores across the country were sold out. In the evening, after summarizing the news from all over the country, the entire editorial office of "Reading" was boiling

A total of 50,000 copies of the magazine sold nearly 30,000 copies in a single day

Such a hot sales result is absolutely a miracle for a newly launched magazine.

There is no one before, and there is no one after!
