Chapter 49 [Difficult!] 】
The next morning.
Five-Star Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief's Office, Liu Huina leaned on the back of her chair, her brows tightly locked, yesterday afternoon she called the owners of some well-known bookstores in China to discuss matters related to the release of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", but what she never expected was that these bosses all refused to sell this book in the store! Don't even want a single one!
This made her fall into despair, in order to reduce the loss, she had only first printed 50,000 copies, which is the minimum standard of the publishing house, if it were not for this, she would have pressed it down a little more, so that the loss would have become a little smaller. But even if this is the case, even one-fiftieth of the 50,000 copies of this first printing have not been put on the shelves of the bookstore, and the remaining forty-nine out of fifty can only be backlogged in the warehouse, and even sold as waste paper in the end!
But fortunately, because there is no advertising, the cost has been reduced a bit, so that the loss is minimized, which is the only thing to be happy about at the moment.
"I don't know if my brain was burned out at the beginning, how could I think of signing a contract with Han Shuo?" Liu Huina patted her forehead in frustration, but it was too late to regret it, and she could only hope that the 1,000 copies currently on the shelves of these small bookstores around the school would be sold.
Yilin Magazine, Editor-in-Chief's Office.
Liu Shijia was sipping tea proudly in the spring breeze, looking like he was winning.
After his efforts last night, now, as long as it is a large-scale bookstore, no one dares to sell "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" on the shelves!
And without the help of these bookstore sales platforms, it would be good if this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" could sell 1,000 copies, but the minimum first printing is 50,000 copies, which means that 49,000 copies will be disposed of as garbage in the end!
As soon as he thought of this, he got carried away and laughed, Han Shuo, Han Shuo, this time I want you to die without a place to be buried!
And in a certain bedroom.
As soon as Han Shuo got up and sat in front of the computer, he logged in to the new wolf, and as soon as he entered, he saw all kinds of messages, private messages, etc., which added up to thousands of messages.
"Teacher Han Shuo, when will "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" be released, you talked about it again a few days ago, but I haven't heard a single figure until now!"
"In the past few days, I have been going to the bookstore every day to see if there is any news of the book, but every time I go happily, I will come back dejected."
"Teacher Han Shuo, when will it be released, can you give me a quasi-letter?"
“……”
After Han Shuo saw these comments and replies, he felt extremely surprised in his heart, no, Liu Huina of the Five-Star Publishing House called him last night and said that the book would be released today, but why didn't these fans have any news, they were all screaming and fighting to buy the book.
Unable to hold back the doubts in his heart, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call with Liu Huina.
After making the call, Han Shuo looked lonely and sighed deeply, he could be regarded as understanding the truth of the matter.
It turned out that all the bookstores of some scale refused to sell "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in their bookstores, and in desperation, Liu Huina could only contact those small bookstores around the local school, which could be regarded as selling more than 1,000 copies.
But the problem is that there are still 49,000 copies backlogged in the warehouse, and when the time comes, he will have to share the loss with the bookstore, and he needs to compensate for a series of costs, which add up to tens of thousands! His bank card is about 100,000, and he will lose more than half of it at once!
"!" Han Shuo couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he could know with his ass that the bookstore's refusal to sell "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was still the ghost of Liu Shijia, to say that this guy is really hand-eyed, the publishing house can intervene, but he didn't expect the bookstore to intervene, he really doesn't know if he can defeat this guy.
However, Han Shuo doesn't think it's a mistake to have a feud with this Liu Shijia, I'm not wrong, you want to exchange the price of rotten cabbage for sky-high profits, I don't agree, and then you will be angry and don't let my life be better, what the is it called? What a beep dog!
……
In a classroom, at a desk.
A male classmate mysteriously said to his tablemate, "Guess what I found in the bookstore today?" ”
"Seeing that you are so happy, is it Yi Lin in the next issue?" The same table suddenly became extremely excited, but in a blink of an eye, he became lost, "No, the next issue of Yi Lin will have to wait more than a week to buy it, alas, I'm really disappointed, I still want to watch "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". ”
"Yi Lin really doesn't, but this book will definitely not disappoint you!" The male classmate suddenly pulled a book out of his schoolbag and placed it in front of his tablemate.
And when the same table saw the six big characters of those things in the Ming Dynasty in the book, he was directly stupid, and lost his voice: "It's actually "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I'm not dreaming, isn't it serialized in Yilin?" How to publish the book directly! ”
This sound woke up the students around them, and they turned their heads one by one.
"This book can't be a spoof." Some classmates obviously don't believe that those things in the Ming Dynasty are very popular on campus, and this boy won't want to attract everyone's attention, so he deliberately used a photocopier to forge a cover of those things in the Ming Dynasty.
A considerable number of the students around nodded approvingly.
"Alas, this boy is so boring that he came up with a fake book to deceive everyone's feelings."
"I think so, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has been blocked, aren't you meager?"
"As soon as you say this, I also remembered that the editor-in-chief of Yi Lin said that the history section would be revoked, that is to say, from now on, there will be no more "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!"
"If it is not serialized in Yilin, won't this undefeated Dongfang take the publishing route? Nine times out of ten, I read this book is true! He didn't lie to everyone! ”
"Pull it down, all the historians are boycotting this book, what do you think any publisher would dare to release this book? If I were a publisher, I wouldn't publish this book. ”
"I won't, historians have belittled this book as a poisonous weed, if this book is published, maybe it will ruin the reputation of the publishing house, and who will dare to submit it at that time? At that point, the publishing house will be waiting to go out of business! ”
"I don't care what the experts say about this book, I just love to read it, but unfortunately, it's gone. Alas, I'd better read the history plate of Yi Lin in the previous issue again, this is already going to become a swan song. ”
Just when everyone was talking, a voice came from a corner of the classroom:
"This book is real, and I bought one from the bookstore too."
This business is very low, but it is like gunpowder, which directly makes the atmosphere in the class explode!
