Chapter 148: Before the Signing
After a while, I arrived at Gao Lu's office, and I saw that Gao Lu Xianbao seemed to have to take out three sample books. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Du Fei saw it, he was overjoyed, took two steps quickly, and looked at it repeatedly in his hand, this is light paper?!
"Editor-in-Chief Gao, where did you get this kind of paper?!"
Unconsciously, Du Fei had already asked! In his previous life, Du Fei had seen this kind of paper, no wonder he was extremely excited!
Liu Zhiji and Xiao Wei, who followed closely, also picked up the sample book with some curiosity, and began to open it to look at it, and Meiyu also showed a trace of surprise!
"Huh! This is called light paper, which is more well-made, and the 50,000 books printed at this press conference are two inches smaller than usual, because this paper is very light, small, and more convenient to carry, like you can fit it in your pocket! Try it if you don't believe it. ”
The more Gao Lu talked, the more excited he became, and when he said this, he directly picked up a book, put it in the pocket of his trousers, and threw it in with great ease!
At this moment, Liu Zhiji and Xiao Wei were really a little surprised.
But Du Fei's heart is like a mirror, because in his previous life, this kind of paper was already very popular, and his favorite thing is to buy such books, and this kind of light paper also has the advantage of being relatively uneyed.
"Then when I publish "A Hero and a Willow", I will also use this kind of paper, Uncle Gao, you can't be partial!"
Liu Zhiji took the sample book and looked at it again and again in his hand, and at the end, he didn't forget to tell Editor-in-Chief Gao, but as he said this, Editor-in-Chief Gao's face darkened a little.
Everyone noticed the change in his expression, especially the trace of Liu who had just spoken, and when they saw him like this, they immediately became a little unhappy, you know, for writers, books are like their own children, and good paper is like children's clothes! Seeing other people's children wearing red and green, why can't you do it yourself!
Thinking of this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Gao, you really can't do this, you want a bowl of water to be flat!" ”
"Ugh! What nonsense! ”
Editor-in-chief Gao came back to his senses in an instant, knowing that Liu Zhiji was wrong, he raised his hand and slapped it towards his head, but fortunately, Liu Zhiji flexibly dodged it, and he put down his hand.
"Is this paper more expensive than budget?"
Du Fei said lightly, if he remembers correctly, the price of such a book in his previous life was more than twice that of a normal book!
As soon as Du Fei's words were finished, Editor-in-Chief Gao's eyes were full of surprise, and he asked him rhetorically, "How do you know?" This is the first batch in China, and it is more than four times the cost of normal books! And I'm thinking about whether to use it, and now I've only printed a hundred copies, and I'm about to take them to the company to discuss with you, and you're here! ”
As Gao Lu's words landed, Xiao Wei and Liu Zhiji gasped!
More than four times as ?!!
That is to say, after using this kind of paper, the cost will skyrocket, the profit will shrink seriously, and for businessmen, it will definitely not do a loss-making business.
The end result is definitely that as the cost rises, so does the price of the book.
And the price of the book, in today's market, almost has its own positioning, by no means that you can increase it at will, and then the reader will recognize it! The result of this kind of paper is obviously a thankless task
"How many books will be produced from now until tomorrow morning? If it is printed according to the current size of the editor-in-chief Gao. ”
Before they could react, Du Fei's words had already sounded abruptly.
Before Editor-in-Chief Gao's words were spoken, Xiao Wei couldn't help but take a step forward and stopped: "Du Fei, we have used the best paper for the book of the press conference, and we have maintained the previous price. ”
When Xiao Wei finished saying these words, his face had sunk a little, and in this way, Mr. Gao's words were swallowed alive, in fact, before they came, he was struggling with whether to use this kind of paper, after all, the cost was too high!
Du Fei, who was robbed of white by Xiao Wei for a while, his face also changed slightly at this time, looking at Xiao Wei standing in front of him and Editor-in-Chief Gao, his eyes moved, and finally opened his mouth to explain to Xiao Wei in a very rare way: "Brother Xiao, the price at the press conference is still according to your order, but my share of the profit is used for the cost of paper, I like such a small and delicate sample book very much." ”
"You've reached the limit of your novel, I know that. But you have to know that the price of a new book at tomorrow's signing will also mean the price at which the book will enter the website in the future, and if the price is not raised, the profit will not only be tens of thousands of copies tomorrow, but in the future, do you understand? ”
As a businessman, Xiao Wei didn't have as much emotional liking or surprise as Du Fei in his mind.
Although it was only for a few minutes, he realized almost immediately, what a fortune it was!
On the other hand, Du Fei's clouds are light and light, how can he not be angry!
"It's okay, Brother Xiao, I didn't publish books to make money, besides, I don't know if there is still some soup left, even if I'm hungry, I won't have you."
Du Fei didn't seem to care about the content analyzed in Xiao Wei's words at all, his eyes lit up and he glanced at the appearance that Liu Zhiji was still holding in his hand, he unconsciously crossed Xiao Wei, and directly faced Editor-in-Chief Gao waiting for his answer.
Knowing Xiao Wei's deep high road, after looking at the expressions of the two, he finally said to Du Fei: "If it is printed from now on, I can catch up all night today, and the books that will arrive at the venue before seven o'clock tomorrow morning will not be less than 50,000 copies." That's what I can guarantee! ”
"Well, it's troublesome Editor-in-Chief Gao, this set of books will be the biggest surprise for book friends! Thank you! ”
This sentence, Du Fei said it from the bottom of his heart, and the light paper reminded him of the countless days of oral novels in his previous life, and I believe that in this world, there will soon be readers like him!
"Say thank you and see you, in fact, when I got the new paper, I should have contacted you, but I was worried too much, so I let you"
Seeing that there seemed to be some gap between the two young people, Editor-in-Chief Gao was always a little uneasy in his heart, which was obviously a good thing, but he was made like this for no reason!
"It's okay, Brother Xiao's arrangement is the same, and I don't understand the new book launch, I just want to give a gift to readers, Brother Xiao, don't blame me for having too many things."
Du Fei said as he looked at Xiao Wei, and Xiao Wei, who had been silent, immediately reacted, and after laughing, he said to him: "Tomorrow you have to sign this little book, you don't bother, what do I have to say!" ”
"Haha! That's right, tomorrow I'm going to see with my own eyes how Du Fei signs this villain's book, and if it is signed properly, then I can use it in my next book! ”
Liu Zhiji finally finished studying the book, turned to the three people with different expressions and said, "Anyway, Mr. Gao's design is really small, teacher, how long have you been thinking about it or why did you take it out!" ”
As soon as Liu Zhiji's words came out, the other three people in the room looked at each other and smiled, today's turmoil is over, Du Fei and Liu Zhiji talked about writing again, and Xiao Wei followed Gao Lu to the workshop to arrange printing, and an afternoon was spent in such an unconscious chat.
During this period, Du Fei did nothing except make a phone call to Zhang Jun and ask him to pay attention to the updates on the Internet.
And what made him strange was that Zhang Jun's tone on the phone still made Du Fei feel a little unsure, it couldn't be that something happened to Feixun's outlets.
didn't wait for him to ask more, Zhang Jun hung up the phone for the first time, unprecedentedly, without waiting for himself to finish asking! He hung up on himself!
Du Fei faced the mobile phone that had already been cut off, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and now this kid is also fat!
It wasn't until Xiao Wei came back and reminded himself that it was time to go, Du Fei reined in his thoughts, got up to say goodbye to Liu Zhiji and Gao Lu, and after everyone met tomorrow, he drove away from the publishing house.
Because he was thinking about the phone call to Zhang Jun, Du Fei made another call to the kid on the way, but was unexpectedly told that the other party's mobile phone had been turned off, Du Fei was even more uneasy in his heart, and after returning to the hotel speechlessly, he said 'see you tomorrow' to Xiao Wei, who looked a little abnormal, and then went back to the hotel room directly.
He just wants to hurry back online now and see what the hell is going on!
However, the moment he opened the door, several figures suddenly popped out of the room, which shocked Du Fei's heart and almost fainted!
"Dude! I'm here too! I didn't expect it! ”
"Brother Du, but Xiaobai is coming, I'm just escorting him!"
"Boss, I heard that there is a happy event tomorrow, and I am here to help!"
"Du Fei! Are you alright?"
Du Fei stumbled and almost slipped to the ground, but fortunately, Xiaoxiao, who was standing by the door, took a handle in time, Du Fei took advantage of the situation to hold her hand with his backhand, and asked in a low voice: "These monkeys are here?" ”
"Hey! Feed! How do you speak, who are you talking about, I'm obviously a gorilla! ”
After Zhang Jun, who was closest to them, heard their words, he immediately shouted loudly, causing everyone to laugh for a while, Du Fei looked at the brother who was messing around in front of him, and his heart was also full of emotion.
Don't think about it, he also knows that these guys are worried that they won't be able to get busy at tomorrow's book launch, in fact, Du Fei is really worried about this, after all, it is the first time
"Sister-in-law, you have to talk about my brother Du, if you can't have a good thing, you won't call us, Xiaobai, isn't it?!" (To be continued.) )
