Chapter 319: Who's Smart and Who Is Confused
>,!
ps: New week, ask for subscriptions, recommendations, all kinds of support, thank you. ※%,
Xiao Fei stayed in the Central Plains Book Building from more than nine o'clock to ten o'clock, almost eleven o'clock.
After he found "The Legend of Wukong", he also found the bookshelf where "The Diary of a Sand Monk" was placed, and the distance between the two books was not too far.
Xiao Fei fully carried forward the style of waiting for the rabbit, and stayed next to the two new books he launched, and he wanted to count how many people would come to find "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk" this morning.
The results were disappointing to him.
In the space of more than an hour, only a dozen or so people wandered around this area, and most of these dozen or so people were strolling around casually, not for a certain book.
Only one or two of them turned to Xiao Fei's two new books.
They picked it up and looked at it, flipped it through it twice, dropped the book again in Xiao Fei's expectant gaze, and turned away. One of them looked through Wukong's biography and muttered, "What kind of thing is this!" Messy! ”
This sentence hurt Xiao Fei very much.
Nima! Is it only three or four years away that the ideological generation gap between people at the end of the 90s and people after the new century is so huge that it is even insurmountable?
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei became a little irritable.
In fact, for many people, "The Legend of Wukong" is really a very difficult book to understand, and sometimes it seems slightly boring. Its sex is still very strong, and its story is also deconstructed, and the reader needs to dive into it in order to read through it to understand, a reader with a slightly poor impetuousness. It's hard to get him to like "The Legend of Wukong".
Xiao Fei took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Liu Zelai. Ask about other bookstores.
He knew that his move had exposed his inner turmoil.
He hesitated. This call should not be made.
But before he could dial, his phone rang.
It was Liu Ze who called.
Xiao Fei hurriedly walked to the door of the bookstore, and trotted to the gate, then picked up the phone and asked, "Brother Zelai, how is it, how is the situation in bookstores around the world now?" ”
Liu Ze said: "Xiao Fei, the situation is okay, the performance is relatively normal, and the bookstore has done a good job in terminal promotion." In the past two hours, twenty or thirty copies have been sold, but there are also bookstores that have not sold a single one, mainly because it is Monday, everyone is busy, and many potential readers have not had time to visit the bookstore. ”
Xiao Fei also agrees with the reason Liu Ze said.
He also believes that according to Liu Zelai, on the whole, the performance of "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" is relatively normal.
Maybe by the end of the week, the two books will have a sales explosion.
That's what he thought in his heart. But thinking back to the deserted scene I saw in the Central Plains Book Building just now, my heart still felt like a fire.
Xiao Fei felt that he had to find a way to solve the current embarrassing situation.
He knew that he was angry.
But he couldn't help but do it.
He told Liu Ze about the scene he saw in the Central Plains Book Building in the morning. Then, Xiao Fei said to Liu Ze: "Brother Zelai, it's better to be like this." Let's hire a hundred and eighty nurseries to come to the Central Plains Book Building to set off the popularity of the two books. ”
Xiao Fei thought so, hiring some college students from a certain school. Give them a brief training, and arrange for them to come to the Central Plains Book Building one after another to ask the service desk about "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk". And rushed to buy it, artificially creating a false impression that the two books were very sought-after and popular, and forced the management of the book building to face up to the two books and arrange a conspicuous position for the two books to recommend.
This kind of trick of cheating on your own childcare was not too widespread in the late 90s.
Occasionally, there are smart people who use it, and they often get miraculous results.
Liu Zelai listened to Xiao Fei's words, struggled for a while, and agreed, saying that he would ask someone to find someone immediately, but for a while, he may not be able to find a suitable one, and he may not be able to do it today.
Xiao Fei told Liu Zelai that if it doesn't work today, then it will be okay at noon tomorrow, and the most important thing is to take action and give the Central Plains Book Building a powerful counterattack!
After making this call, Xiao Fei felt a rumbling stomach and was a little hungry.
He went to a nearby restaurant and asked for a bowl of beef noodles to fill his stomach, and returned to the Central Plains Book Building again. At this time, the time was already past 12 o'clock.
Xiao Fei found that at noon, the flow of people in this book building was still not very small.
It was time for dinner, but many people walked into the book building in groups of three or five.
Xiao Fei followed a group of young men and women into the door, and he could hear these people talking, and the voice was quite loud.
They were talking about "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk", and of course, Xiao Fei was also involved in the words. This made Xiao Fei prick up his ears.
"I hope that "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" have not been sold out, if they are gone, it will be a real pity, I read the classic sentences and paragraphs in the book excerpted from the newspaper, it is so interesting."
"I also read it, and there is news about those two books in the Central Plains Evening News and Hexi Daily."
"There is even a serialization of "The Legend of Wukong" in Hexi Daily, tsk! The Monkey King Zhu Bajie Sha Monk and Tang Seng are all subversive characters, which is really good-looking, but unfortunately, only more than 1,000 words are serialized at a time, which is really not enjoyable. ”
"I've also watched the serial, so as soon as I heard that "The Legend of Wukong" was going to be on sale today, I decided to buy a copy anyway."
"I haven't read the serial, but I read the news that these two books are strongly recommended by Xiao Fei, and I think that if Xiao Fei can recommend them, it is equivalent to endorsing them, and the book must be very good! Xiao Fei cherishes his feathers very much, and he won't recommend some messy books. ”
The students were talking loudly.
Xiao Fei was a little hesitant in his heart, and said in his heart, could it be that Liu Zelai found a nursery so quickly and sent it over? So why don't you talk to yourself?
It took him more than half an hour to go to dinner as soon as he went to eat.
No matter how you think about it, Xiao Fei doesn't think it will be so fast.
Maybe these people are real readers, he thought? Did you come to buy books at noon?
Next, during noon, Xiao Fei watched as more people came to the Central Plains Book Building to inquire about "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk".
Dozens of people came looking for these two books.
The two books on the shelves, each with more than a dozen volumes, were quickly snatched up. Subsequently, the staff put out more than 20 copies, which were also taken out in the shortest possible time.
Some people buy two or three copies at a time, and they say they bring them to their friends.
In less than an hour, all the two books in the Central Plains Book Building were sold out.
They didn't buy much, so they made thirty copies each.
After "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" were sold out, people came in one after another to ask, and after learning that they were sold out, people were very disappointed.
The person in charge of the first floor of the book building saw this scene and hurriedly reported the situation to Li Yaojing, the manager of the book building.
Li Yaojing listened, but smiled indifferently, and told his subordinates on the phone: "It's not the work of a famous artist, how can these two books full of nonsense sell so well?" What if there is Xiao Fei's recommendation? Behold! This must be the book company called Hanmo to make trouble, it is estimated that these people who buy books are hired by them, so don't bother with them, let them perform by themselves! When they find it boring themselves, they'll be done. ”
After instructing his subordinates, Li Yaojing put down the phone, sneered, and said to himself: "It's a trick, when I can't see through it?" There were such stories at the story meeting two years ago, and it's not like I haven't seen it, and if you want to play me, there's no way! ”
Li Yaojing is a middle-aged man in his fifties, a bit conservative in his thinking, and the most unaccustomed thing is those unconventional people and things.
When Hanmo's people came to him with "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" to ask him for terminal support, he flipped through these two books casually.
After reading the book, he was very angry.
Furious on the spot and said, what kind of thing is this? Isn't that scribbling? Can something like this also publish a book? Isn't this a waste of paper?
If this book can be sold, that's weird!
In short, after Li Yaojing lost his temper, he categorically rejected the request of Hanmo Company, and deliberately put these two books into the cold palace.
Now, his subordinates actually said that "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" are very popular, and in less than half a day, the books in the Book Building have been sold out.
How can Lee Yiu-king be believed?
Xiao Fei naturally didn't know about the above things.
He is now immersed in excitement and excitement. After suppressing it for almost a morning, he didn't expect that the two books would be sold out in a very short time.
Xiao Fei called Liu Zelai, told him the good news, and told him that he should forget about finding a trust.
Liu Zelai told Xiao Fei that from the feedback from bookstores across the country, at noon, the sales of "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk" have increased significantly.
Liu Ze said that at the Xinhua Bookstore in Hexi Province at noon, more than 200 copies of the two books had been sold. The other two or three outlets in Zhongyuan City were also selling well, and by the time Xiao Fei called, a total of more than 300 books had been sold.
Liu Ze said that he would have people contact the Central Plains Book Building to see if they needed to buy again.
After seeing the situation at the bookstore, Xiao Fei was relieved, he took his car and drove back to the company.
When he walked to the door of the office, he heard Liu Zelai talking to someone with some anger: "The Central Plains Book Building is reluctant to enter "The Legend of Wukong" and "Sha Seng Diary", forget it, let's not force it, I won't eat even hairy pigs without Hu Butcher!"
