261. Chapter 261: Threat

The popularity of the book "The Condor Heroes" can be said to be undoubted, and it has aroused such a fanatical fan pursuit on the Internet, and it can even be said that it has triggered a direct conflict between the old and new concepts in the literary world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, once "The Condor Heroes" is published, it will definitely trigger a frenzy of buying again in the area of publishing books.

This point, as long as it is a mixed literary world, it is conceivable. There is already so much fan base accumulated on the Internet in advance, how many people are looking forward to buying the full version as soon as possible, and even if it is really on the Internet, it has been serialized and watched, for such a classic, many people will inevitably want to buy a set to collect and reminisce.

It is precisely because of this that Qiu Ming, no matter what the purpose is, resolutely cannot let the book "The Condor Heroes" be published successfully.

One is not published, but is only serialized on the Internet, even if many people like it and many people watch it, so what? He hasn't even published a book, and the guy called "Volcano" is embarrassed to call himself a writer?

There are only a few domestic publishing houses, and there are only a handful of famous and powerful ones, and there are only a few that can have the ability to distribute and publish the volcano "The Condor Heroes" in the country.

It's just that Qiu Ming would never have thought that the Writers' Pioneer Publishing House is a subsidiary ******** under the direct jurisdiction and responsibility of the vice chairman of the Writers' Association. Even Hou Jianhua, the editor-in-chief, and Liu Qingyan, the deputy editor-in-chief, were appointed at their own suggestion.

And now, it is this publishing house that is his most confidant, and he actually wants to publish "The Condor Heroes" of the sworn enemy "Volcano", which simply makes Qiu Ming feel like he has been slapped in the face.

"Old Qiu, don't get excited. This matter was handled by Koyanagi. I questioned her, too, but what she said made sense. If such an excellent book like "The Condor Heroes" is so good, it will definitely leave a mark in the history of domestic literature, and even if we don't publish this kind of book, someone else will rush to publish it sooner or later.

Now, Koyanagi has finally obtained the authorization to publish from the author "Volcano", and it is conceivable that as long as it is published, the sales volume may be at least one million or more. Such a good opportunity, no matter what, our publishing house can't let it go! ”

Based on his responsibility for the publishing house's business, editor-in-chief Hou Jianhua will naturally put aside personal grievances first, not to mention that this is just the personal grievances of Qiu Ming and "Volcano".

You must know that in recent years, with the national downturn in the paper publishing business, the general sales of more than 50,000 are already very good bestsellers. If it can sell more than 100,000 copies, it will be a rare phenomenon of literature.

Moreover, every book, even if it is a masterpiece published by a famous artist like Qiu Ming, before it is officially launched to the market, no one really knows what the sales will be, which is not only related to the quality of the content, but also the writer's own popularity, packaging publicity and exposure, etc.

The publisher has a series of calculation formulas to make a preliminary sales forecast and calculation for each book. For example, Qiu Ming's last publication of "Country Road" was published by the Writers Pioneer Publishing House, and through their model calculations, it is estimated that the published sales will be about 70,000 copies.

As a result, almost a month later, the national sales of "Country Road" are in the early 70,000s and less than 80,000, which shows that such a calculation model is still relatively accurate in predicting the sales of book publishing.

According to such a formula model, Hou Jianhua made a calculation of the "Condor Heroes" of "Volcano" and found that the estimated sales data was as high as at least 200,000 units.

Note that it's 200,000 sets, not 200,000 copies. Because the number of words in "The Condor Heroes" is nearly one million words, it was divided into 5 volumes by Liu Qingyan, which means that a set of "The Condor Heroes" contains five copies of 1-5 volumes.

If 200,000 units are sold, it is equivalent to a total of 1 million copies sold in a single volume.

Crucially, this is the lowest estimate. Because almost all of the influence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is on the Internet, and the author "Volcano" himself has no previous reputation and publication and sales records for reference, so in terms of these parameters, Hou Jianhua is set to 0.

In other words, without adding any other parameters, based on the activity data on the online forum alone, it can be inferred that the total sales of a set of books "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will reach more than one million copies.

However, Qiu Ming doesn't care about these, how much the publishing house earns, how good the performance is, and he actually doesn't have much to do with him, and he, the vice chairman, does not need to rely on the performance of the subordinate publishing house to improve his status.

His most urgent task now is to prevent the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and stop and block it at all costs.

Because he had tried to block "The Condor Heroes" in the name of the official Writers' Association before, but failed, so this time Qiu Ming's approach was more simple and crisp, that is, one by one publishing houses blocked the publication of "The Condor Heroes", relying on the connections he had accumulated over the years, as well as many mastered handles, he didn't believe that any publishing house would dare to publish "The Condor Heroes"?

"Mr. Qiu, as you know, the performance of our Writers Pioneer Publishing House in the past two years has been really poor, and we urgently need such a powerful bestseller to enhance the brand image and business capabilities of the publishing house. So ......" Hou Jianhua said to Qiu Ming apologetically on the phone.

However, Qiu Ming interrupted him more simply: "So what? So you're going to be able to turn a deaf ear to my words? So you can ignore the kindness I gave you back then? ”

"That's not the case, Old Qiu, this ...... Isn't this a book for volcanoes? Do you need to go online like this? I remember all your kindness, but this code is one yard, this ......," Hou Jianhua said with great embarrassment.

"What is this? In short, Hou Jianhua, let me tell you, the book "The Condor Heroes" is not allowed to be published. Not only are you writers and pioneer publishing houses not allowed to come out, but I will also say hello to other publishing houses one by one, and if you insist on publishing them, tomorrow I will hand over the photos of your private meeting with your little lover to gossip news reporters......

Originally, Hou Jianhua wanted to fight for it again, but who knew that Qiu Ming directly sent a killer threat and firmly held his handle in his hands, and then Hou Jianhua had no room for negotiation at all, so he could only nod stupidly and said, "Old Qiu, I have something to say!" This kind of picture must not be spread out randomly, I ...... Can't I promise you? We, the Writers Pioneer Publishing House, no longer publish "The Condor Heroes". ”
