Zhao Yiming only saw the invitation email for "Fairy Tale Kingdom" in the evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Ping explained in detail in the email, which allowed Zhao Yiming to understand the reason for the great increase in demand for manuscripts of "Fairy Tale Kingdom". This undoubtedly made him happy - he seemed to be lucky.

In return, Zhao Yiming promised in the email that he would supply "Fairy Tale Kingdom" with quality and quantity, and as proof, he immediately sent four fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood".

In the next few days, Zhao Yiming's life was very leisurely. In addition to doing housework, making three meals, I go to my mother's small supermarket from time to time to help watch the store. The rest of his time is basically spent learning about the world and sorting out and revising fairy tales.

Of course, in addition to these things, all he can do is pretend to read the high school textbook in front of his mother to please his mother.

After going to report the good news to my mother that day, my mother was obviously very happy, especially a few neighbors happened to be shopping in the store, and my mother was very popular.

But after the person who bought the things left, Zhao Yiming proposed to buy a mobile phone and was directly confused by his mother: You are still young, can you use a mobile phone? What should I do if I bought you a mobile phone and affect my learning?

His face was full of depression, and he couldn't say: Mom, I don't have any other ideas, I just want to play Tetris. If you dare to say this, you are definitely looking for death.

Well, buying a mobile phone has to be done slowly. Zhao Yiming is not annoyed, my mother can't do this, and my father is that. If you don't earn money, it's another story, but if you do earn it, your dad will definitely support you. Only by not going down the wrong path, earning money for your own use, this is my father's consistent view.

Until June 30, Friday, this day Zhao Yiming marked very clearly on the calendar - the date of publication of "Fairy Tale Kingdom".

……

30 meters to the right of the east gate of the Trojan Horse Community, Dongcheng District, Jingxing City, convenient newspaper kiosk.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Aunt Sun, who runs this newsstand, came to her stall as usual, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she was a little dumbfounded: Is this still her own business, a newsstand that is not popular?

In front of her, the uncles and aunts in the community, dozens of people were waiting at the sales window of the newsstand, most of them were still carrying full vegetable baskets, and they were chatting enthusiastically.

"Lao Wang, what's going on?" Aunt Sun's face was full of doubts, and when she saw Uncle Wang next door to her, she immediately asked.

"Hey, good thing." Uncle Wang put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and open your business." Let's see what fairy tales the great 16-year-old writer wrote! ”

Fairy tale! Aunt Sun remembered. In the past few days, several major newspapers have published what a 16-year-old child wrote the best fairy tale.

Aunt Sun has also been a newspaper practitioner for many years, and she has already stopped this kind of hype.

"A 16-year-old can write anything." Aunt Sun looked unimpressed.

"That's it." Uncle Wang didn't refute, but just explained: "We naturally don't care about children in other places, but this child belongs to our community." Then we must not take a look. ”

"Our community." At this time, Aunt Wang was finally taken aback.

Seeing that she still didn't seem to believe it, Uncle Wang said ostentatiously: "I can still lie to you." It's our 12 buildings on the 3rd floor, Xiao Zhao's house. His daughter-in-law opened a supermarket not long ago, and I went shopping to hear about it. I heard that the manuscript fee was a few thousand. The average person has half a month's salary. ”

"Oh, that's going to take a good look. So did this big guy also know about this? ”

"That's not it, most of them are curious to read the newspaper and take a look. But to be able to wait like this, I listened to my mouth. ”

"Alas, Lao Wang, you can't rest with this mouth." Aunt Sun smiled and took out the key, opened the narrow green door of the newsstand and got in.

Uncle Wang followed behind and reminded: "The book of that child's fairy tale is called "Fairy Tale Kingdom", don't get confused." ”

"Fairy Tale Kingdom"? I have the impression that when this book was distributed to my newsstand last night, it was twice as many as usual, usually only 50 copies, but last night I came 100 copies.

Bringing two bundles of 50 magazines each to the window, Aunt Sun shouted: "The latest issue of "Fairy Tale Kingdom", 6 yuan a copy, there are articles by children in our community, everyone come and take a look." ”

Before the words fell, dozens of uncles and aunts hugged up, and they were tired of waiting for this long time. I saw that the uncles and aunts were able to surpass the young people, and you copied them one by one and looked at them.

Yes, they are all looking through it, and none of them are paying.

As I said before, Aunt Sun's business is average. And the main reason for the average business is that acquaintances in the community want to read magazines, just read them, and if they are satisfied, they will take the money away, and if they are not satisfied, they will leave the books and leave. In this way, even though people are embarrassed to read books for nothing, they will occasionally buy a few copies. But most magazines, only those who like it very much will be bought, so the sales of Aunt Sun's newsstand have not been good. The reason why her business can continue is that she sells more than 200 newspapers a day. Newspapers only cost one or two yuan, and no one is embarrassed to read them for nothing, and those who read books for nothing often buy a newspaper out of compensation.

The uncles and aunts took dozens of copies. Looking at the remaining dozens of copies, Aunt Sun shook her head, seeing that there was no business for the time being, she picked up one and read it.

The title of the first article in the magazine has already been seen on the cover - "The Ugly Duckling". What's the story? Tell the story of a very ugly duck? What's so good about this kind of story.

With this thought, Aunt Sun began to look at it......

Da, Da...... It is the sound of knocking on the glass of the newsstand sales window.

Who, Aunt Sun, who was still immersed in the story, raised her head a little unhappily, but her mind was still on the fairy tale - the ugly duckling was so pitiful, how could she bully it like this?

"Lao Wang, what's the matter!" A little angry, Aunt Sun said angrily.

"Get me a copy! 10 bucks for you! Uncle Wang was inexplicable, but when he looked at Aunt Sun's eyes always looking at the "Fairy Tale Kingdom" spread out on the side, he immediately understood.

Quietly waited for Aunt Sun to finish finding the change, and grabbed "Fairy Tale Kingdom" in her hand and held it steadily. Uncle Wang took a few steps back, and then said, "Big sister, that ugly duckling was just ugly when he was a child, and he will become a white swan when he grows up." ”

After speaking, the old king didn't know it, so he pulled his legs and left: "You are busy, I still have to go home and tell my little grandson a story!" ”

The ugly duckling later turned into a white swan, and Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment before she reacted and scolded: "You are a poor mouth of the king of a thousand knives, I want you to spoil!"

However, Aunt Sun soon stopped being annoyed, because a wave of uncles and aunts had already rushed up: Give me a copy, give me a copy too......

De, Lao Qian, Lao Wu, Lao Li, Lao Zhou...... None of the grandchildren in this family have been left behind.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Aunt Sun clicked, and 36 copies of the 100 copies of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" have been sold, which is only an hour.

Hiding to the side and carrying a big vegetable basket, Zhao Yiming nodded.

These old men and aunts are all shrewd people, and they can bargain with the vegetable vendors for a few cents every day. Being able to take out 6 yuan from these old people is very revealing.

However, Zhao Yiming did not let go of his heart.

In the evening, he slipped to the newsstand to inquire about the sales of "Fairy Tale Kingdom". Aunt Sun recommended it very warmly: "The two fairy tales "The Ugly Duckling" and "Xiao Ming's Flowers" written by this writer named Anger are so good, I cried when I saw it!" I have a dozen copies left, and if you don't buy them, they'll be gone. When it's sold out, you'll have to go to the bookstore, and my little newsstand doesn't usually have a lot of stock. ”

Zhao Yiming, who couldn't cry or laugh, under the enthusiasm of Aunt Sun, did not resist in the end, and only obediently paid for a copy.

And the editorial room of "Fairy Tale Kingdom".

Even though it was time to get off work, none of the editors went home from work. Everyone is waiting for the sales count at 8 p.m. tonight. In the past few days, everyone has been busy, and some brain cells have died.

Normally, about 100,000 copies of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" are sold on Friday, and 10,000-30,000 copies will be sold in the following week. By July and August of each year, the weekly sales of the magazine will drop to about 50,000 copies per week.

This time, because of publicity, some kindergartens will probably continue to subscribe. The company's sales department estimated that after spending 200,000 yuan on publicity, even if the quality of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" is normal, there will be about 80,000 copies of weekly sales.

Lu Zecheng waved his hand and asked the printing house to print 200,000 copies, which not only made the sales department grin, but also made the attention of the whole juvenile weekly focus on "Fairy Tale Kingdom".

Since most people haven't seen Zhao Yiming's fairy tales, they basically think that Lu Zecheng is too crazy. In short, there are too many people who are not optimistic. They didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that 200,000 copies were Lu Zecheng's maximum authority, Lu Zecheng would dare to print 300,000 copies.

Time passed by second, neither fast nor slow, but people became more and more anxious.

"It's already 8 o'clock, why haven't the sales statistics been passed on yet."

"Your watch is coming soon, I'm only 7:58!"

"Mine is 8 o'clock too!"

What makes people scold is that it wasn't until 8:06 that the fax of sales statistics came, and it was Lu Ping who guarded the fax machine, and she was the first to see the sales statistics.

"Xiao Lu, how much?" Lu Zecheng asked a little trembling.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, but as soon as this beginning is opened, everything will go smoothly. Now that the initial investment is so large, if it fails, Shonen Weekly may not let itself be in charge of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" again, so to a large extent, it depends on this time whether it is dead or alive.

"Editor-in-chief." Lu Ping, who had an incredible expression on her face after seeing the sales statistics, stabilized her mood a little: "The sales volume on the day of our publication was 128,000 copies. ”

128,000 copies!

Rumble......

"We succeeded......"

Hurray, cheers! Everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

The best sales record for Fairytale Kingdom was 102,000 copies on the day it was published, and the best weekly sales record was 130,000 copies.

128,000 copies!

This means that this issue of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" has broken the sales record on the day of publication, and with this momentum, breaking the weekly sales record is definitely not a problem. And it is worth mentioning that the release time of this issue is not a weekday, but an off-season.

"Great! We're not going home drunk tonight! Someone suggested.

"Definitely, no one will stop me tonight. I'm going to have to pour a few glasses. I've been tired this week......"

People are enthusiastically discussing ways to relax.

Everyone thought that "Fairy Tale Kingdom" had a miracle, but what they didn't expect was that the miracle was far from over.
