Chapter 318 On the first day of the shelves, observe on the spot
PS: Four more, for the sake of me working so hard, I hope that those who have the ability to watch the genuine version will subscribe to it, and support it with tickets, thank you.
When I arrived at the company, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiao Fei saw that there was no one in the office building, and it was deserted. Liu Zelai explained that "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" will be officially launched tomorrow, and two heavyweight books will be put on the shelves at the same time, and most of the people in the company will be sent to important regional markets to keep an eye on.
Come to the office and sit down.
Liu Ze said: "Xiao Fei, the situation is a little not good." ”
"Brother Zelai, the difficulties are only temporary, don't worry, I firmly believe that these two books will definitely open up the situation quickly!" Xiao Fei said in a sonorous tone.
"The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk" are not very pre-booked, the former is more than 90,000 copies, the latter is more than 80,000 copies, but Xiao Fei has determined the first printing of both books to 500,000 copies.
Today, a warehouse is crammed with the remaining books after delivery.
Liu Ze was a little congested when he looked at these stocks.
"However, although we have made great efforts to do public relations, many bookstore terminals have not arranged significant promotion positions and advertisements for our books, which shows that they do not attach much importance to these two books." Liu Zelai sighed and said.
"Brother Zelai, we have done enough, even if there is something wrong with the terminal promotion, it is nothing, and when readers begin to recognize the two books "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Diary of a Sand Monk", the sales of these two books will increase steadily, which will take a process." Xiao Fei said.
Liu Zelai nodded: "I also think these two books are good books, I hope they won't be buried for too long, if they are buried for too long, it is estimated that a large number of books in the warehouse will cause great trouble to the printing of new books." ”
Hanmo's printing factory also has only two warehouses, one large and one small, and now the inventory of the two books is almost full of both warehouses.
The new books that are being printed in the future will also be used in the warehouse, but now, there is no place to put them, so they can only be placed in the corner of the factory or even stacked outside in the open air.
At the moment, this situation has caused a certain amount of confusion.
Liu Zelai objected to Xiao Fei's insistence on a major increase in the first printing of the two books to 500,000 copies. He believes that if the sales situation is good, it is too late to print, and there is no need to store it in advance after printing.
"Trust me. Brother Zelai, it won't take more than a month at most, and the treasury will be completely vacated. Xiao Fei laughed.
"I hope so." Liu Ze said.
The next day was the day when "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk" were put on sale.
Xiao Fei decided to go to the Zhongyuan Book Building, which was newly opened not long after the Xinhua Bookstore, to take a look at the scene.
This time, Liu Zelai has other things to do. didn't go with Xiao Fei.
In March, the willow wind blows coldly.
Xiao Fei wore a peaked cap, a pair of flat glasses on his nose, and a sportswear, and came to the Central Plains Book Building at 9 o'clock in the morning.
It was Monday.
Students go to school, staff go to work.
There are still a lot of people who come to the Central Plains Book Building. This is because, the building attracts people from all over the province.
This book building has a total of 12 floors, and the first, second and third floors below are book stores, with a business area of more than 7,000 square meters, and it is the largest book store in Hexi Province.
Xiao Fei stood in the square and watched for a while.
He found. The outside of this book store is very clean, there are almost no messy advertising posters, but a big red banner hangs above the gate, which reads the news that a well-known domestic author is coming to the book city to sign and sell books.
Follow the flow of people into the building.
Literature books are on the first floor, facing the entrance, and there is a row of display shelves with many new or best-selling books.
Xiao Fei went over to take a look, most of them are famous works at home and abroad, and several books published by himself, "Fish Walking on Land" and "Bright Sword", "First Close Contact", and "The Old Time of the Sunshine is Old" are also placed on it.
There were quite a few people standing around the display shelf. They were all looking at the books on the shelves, and from time to time someone picked up the books and went to the cashier to pay the money.
While he was reading on the sidelines, he found that his books were still popular, and he sold several copies in succession.
But. Can anyone tell me where are "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk"? Why is it missing? Xiao Fei wandered around the book city.
This Central Plains Book Building is worthy of being the largest book building in Hexi, and the books in it are as vast as a sea of smoke, although the arrangement is quite orderly, Xiao Fei looked for a good conference, but still didn't find it.
No way. He had to go to the cashier to see if any readers would come to the checkout with the two books, or simply ask the service staff and ask them to point out the maze.
For the current situation, Xiao Fei actually has a psychological preparation.
He listened to Liu Ze last night, not long after the Central Plains Book Building was newly opened, the manager was very arrogant, it was not easy to deal with, and he failed to get down the public relations, the result was that although the two books of Hanmo were put on sale at the same time, in his own base camp in Hexi, he encountered discriminatory treatment: he was not able to carry out any publicity and promotion at the terminal of the Central Plains Book Building.
Liu Ze said that they originally wanted to hire a few people to hold small signs to guide readers who bought books, but this request was also categorically rejected by the book city.
Although he was mentally prepared, Xiao Fei was still very annoyed when he really saw the situation at the scene.
He came to the cash register.
Coincidentally, a girl came over with a copy of "The Legend of Wukong" to pay the bill.
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, and when the girl finished settling the bill, he asked her with a smile where she found this book.
The girl who bought the book was tall, with delicate facial features, fair skin, and a calm smile, and looked at Xiao Fei curiously for a while and said, "You also like Xiao Fei?" ”
Xiao Fei sighed, she didn't seem to answer the question, so she nodded and said vaguely: "Hmm." ”
"I also like Xiao Fei so much, hehe, I saw in the newspaper that Xiao Fei recommended two books, and I especially skipped class today to buy them, and finally found this "The Legend of Wukong", so I bought it." The girl said.
The two books are not together?
This was another accident for Xiao Fei.
"Oh, in which piece? I'll check it out too. Xiao Fei said to the girl.
"Whoa! I'll take you there. The girl said enthusiastically.
"Well, okay, thanks." Xiao Fei followed the girl over, and after turning around, Xiao Fei finally saw the poor "The Legend of Wukong" arranged on the bookshelf on an open bookshelf in a very remote corner.
"Thank you, classmate." Xiao Fei thanked the girl.
"Hehe, you're welcome, my name is quack, I'm a student at Hexi University, what's your name?" The girl smiled and asked Xiao Fei's name.
"Oh, nice to meet you, my name is Feifei." Xiao Fei scratched his head and jokingly said to her. She seems to be the kind of silly white sweet girl, quite simple and cute.
"Hee-hee, then, goodbye Feifei!" The girl reached out and shook Xiao Fei gently, then turned to walk away.
Watching the girl drift away, Xiao Fei was very stunned, he didn't expect that he already had such a fan, just because he had recommended a certain book, he came to buy it directly.
This is called true love, right?
He looked back at this remote corner, the deserted bookshelf, and felt depressed, today's start, at least the start of the Central Plains Book Building, is not very good. (To be continued.) )
