Chapter Seventy-Six: Determining the Signing Meeting (Asking for Collection Recommendation)
The next morning, after Han Yi's morning exercise, he walked to the school publishing house, and today he wanted to talk to a person in charge of the publishing house about his book signing.
When he arrived at the place, Han Yi called the other party, and soon saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit with a somewhat elegant atmosphere coming out of the "friend" tea house and looking around.
Han Yi greeted him and asked, "Is it Editor Zhao of Peking University Press?" ”
Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man looked at Han Yi, with a bit of curiosity, and said, "Yes, I think you are the famous Han Yi, let Mr. Han wait for a long time." Although he knew Han Yi's age in advance, when he saw the real person, Zhao Wenkui couldn't help but sigh at Han Yi's youth.
Hearing this, Han Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "It's a big name, I can't talk about it, and I've just arrived." ”
"Well, we're polite here, let's go in." Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhao Wenkui grabbed Han Yi's shoulders and said in a mouthful of Beijing films.
Han Yi saw the other party's actions and knew that this was a seemingly elegant but somewhat arrogant temperament, and couldn't help but feel a little more good about him.
Zhao Wenkui had already booked a private room, so at this moment, he led Han Yi to sit down in the private room, and his own waiter brought a teacup and made a cup of tea for Han Yi.
"Come, taste, this is the signature tea of the 'Friend' Tea House, only here, and you can't drink it anywhere else." After Han Yi sat down, Zhao Wenkui did not talk about books straight to the point, but invited Han Yi to tea.
Han Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently, only to feel a cool feeling slowly sink into his throat, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it before he opened his mouth and praised: "Good tea!" ”
Hearing Han Yi's admiration, Zhao Wenkui's eyes lit up, he looked at Lu Li and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Han is so good?" ”
Seeing Zhao Wenkui's appearance, Han Yi didn't know that the other party was a person who liked to drink tea, and said, "It's not true, but I know a little." ”
"Oh, I'm not afraid of Mr. Han's jokes, I'm not interested in tobacco and alcohol at all, so I'll just drink some tea." Zhao Wenkui showed a little disappointment on his face, and after finishing speaking, he also picked up the teacup in front of him, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it after taking a sip.
Seeing this, Han Yi didn't urge, and took another sip of tea.
After Zhao Wenkui opened his eyes again, he looked at Lu Li apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, when it comes to what I like, I digress for a while, come and see if this is our arrangement for the signing meeting." As he spoke, Zhao Wenkui handed over a copy of the text that had been prepared for a long time.
This time Han Yi published a total of three books, originally the publishing house was very opposed to Han Yi's approach, publishing three books at a time, which is very inconsistent with the requirements of maximizing profits, but there is no way who calls Han Yi a wayward guy, and in the end, Han Yi can only agree, it is better than letting go of such a genius writer.
The publishing house decided to print 500,000 sets at the beginning, and now due to the rise of online reading, traditional paper books have been greatly impacted, and few books dare to print 500,000 copies at the beginning, not to mention that Han Yi still has three copies together, so that it is 1.5 million copies.
"You are very confident, you dare to print so much at once, are you not afraid of losing money?" Han Yi said in a joking tone.
"It depends on whose book it is, and we have absolute confidence in Mr. Han's book." The previous three books have completely proved Han Yi's appeal, and if Han Yi hadn't insisted on preparing three copies to be sold together this time, the publishing house would have dared to double the printing volume.
"Then the date of the sale will be set on the 2nd, and the location will be at our school." Han Yi looked at the dates given above, and then calculated his itinerary for the next few days in his heart, and chose a more reliable time. From the 3rd, Han Yi will start to promote the running man.
It's not that Han Yi wants to run this publicity, but he can't do it, it has been written in the contract when he signed the contract before, and two times is already the least number of times Han Yi has won it, like Deng Chao and a few of them, the number of times is in double digits, and he may have to run two cities a day, compared to them Han Yi is already very happy.
"Okay, I'll call the people from the Propaganda Department right away and inform them to set the time." This editor-in-chief Zhao is indeed a person who does great things, he has the common characteristics of those people, that is, to do it immediately, people in the world who have the same idea at the same time are said to be able to get a thousand, but only those who do it immediately can succeed.
Just when Han Yi was thinking about it, Zhao Wenkui also finished calling, Zhao Wenkui remembered something again, and asked: "And we are going to hold a signing meeting online, Mr. Han, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Online? Can you still sign online? Han Yi really didn't know that this could be done on the Internet, so he asked with some curiosity.
"That's right, it's actually the first 1,000 people who placed an order to buy a book, and they can get a set of books with your autograph." Zhao Wenkui explained.
"That's right, that's no problem, I'll go with you and sign all the 1,000 books in a while, it should be on the 2nd, right?"
"Yes, it will be sold nationwide at that time." It is worthy of being the best university publishing house in China, and it has the strength to reach this coverage, and it has indeed not lost the face of Peking University.
"I'm kind of glad I have my name now!" Han Yi said suddenly.
However, Zhao Wenkui was a little puzzled, Han Yi would suddenly mention this like this, Zhao Wenkui looked at Han Yi in confusion, hoping that Han Yi could give an explanation.
Han Yi looked at Zhao Wenkui, who was a little puzzled, smiled and said: "My name only has two words, if it is three words, then the signature will be even harder, a thousand copies, thinking about it is also a terrifying amount." ”
"Well, Mr. Han is not a thousand, it should be three thousand, Mr. Han bought three copies together this time, so one set is three."
When Han Yi heard this number, he instantly felt why he wanted to sell three copies at a time, he suddenly regretted it, he knew that he would not hold this signing meeting, then he had to sign himself.
"I hope there won't be too many people on the 2nd."
"......" Zhao Wenkui was already speechless to Han Yi, how could there be such a person, everyone can't wait to come more when the time comes, Han Yi is fortunately praying for fewer people, this has to let those writers know, and Han Yi must not be swallowed alive, it turns out that I have heard that Han Yi has a lot of personality, and today Zhao Wenkui can be regarded as seeing it with his own eyes.
