Chapter Seventy-Four: Bestsellers

Hao Youlai scratched his hair vigorously, unable to understand what the problem was.

The live archaeological program is hot enough, Qin Xueli's popularity is hot enough, the book is also very well written, and the publicity is also in place, why can't it be sold?

100 copies in 10 minutes, definitely not a bestseller.

Any first-line writer who has a new book that attracts a large number of fans when it hits the shelves, usually sells thousands of copies within ten minutes, and the current record is 30,000 copies in ten minutes. This record was created by Wang Daozong and the book is called "Feng Shui Miscellaneous", and the book eventually sold more than 80 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books at present.

Compared with these bestsellers, "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Doubtful Tomb" can almost be said to be on the stage, similar to the marriage of second-tier writers. If it's just to support a second-tier writer, can a publisher invest so much money in advertising?

Fail! A complete failure!

Hao Youlai hung his head down, if "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Doubtful Tomb" could only be the sales volume of second-tier writers, he would definitely be kicked out of the publishing house. And because of the failure of this book, the resume is overshadowed, and it will not be easy to find the same job again in the future.

There was a lot of sighing in the publishing house, everyone was expecting this book to sell well and get more bonuses at the end of the month, but now it seems that it is just thinking too much!

"Oops, overslept!"

Maybe it was because he was too excited last night to guide him to insomnia, Zhao Dagang got up at ten o'clock, and he didn't care about washing, so he quickly turned on the light brain, logged on to the interstellar reading website, clicked on "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Suspicious Tomb", and read it carefully word by word.

To be honest, the beginning is a bit bland, but it is a good foreshadowing of the whole story, starting from Qin Xueli's treatment of Liang Wenzhi, to Qin Xueli's reluctance to interfere, and finally seeing that Gu Ruohua was in danger, he hurried to the ancient tomb. As for Lao Zhuang's identity, it will naturally not be mentioned in the book, only the contemporary heirs of Lao Zhuang's hidden feng shui sect.

For the text in the book, Zhao Dagang likes it very much, delicate rather than sharp, and it depicts the strange environment of archaeology very well, as well as the psychological description of the archaeological team members, which perfectly presents the thrilling archaeological process.

Most importantly, there are a lot of things that you can't see in the book.

For example, the reason why Lao Zhuang's blood can scare off man-eating beetles is because Lao Zhuang has eaten a precious medicinal herb called "gentian", which makes the blood have the medicinal effect of "gentian". And this medicine happens to be the nemesis of the man-eating beetle, which can restrain many evil creatures.

Another example is the description of the feng shui array, although there is also a part of the introduction in the archaeological live broadcast, but it is not detailed, but it is well displayed in the book, which can make readers really feel the power of the feng shui array such as the lock dragon pool, the nine-star lock throat array, and the nine-star lock dragon array.

As for the appearance of the overlord salamander zombie beast and zombies, it is the climax of the whole book, it doesn't feel like reading an archaeological novel, it is more like a martial arts novel, the scene is described extremely thrilling, making people feel like they have walked into the depths of the ancient tomb at once and collided with zombies head-on.

When I finished reading the book, I felt very hungry and my mouth was very bitter, Zhao Dagang remembered that not only did he not eat breakfast, but he even forgot to brush his teeth, so he hurriedly ran to wash, and then contacted a friend, and wrote a review on **.

Same as Zhao Dagang, there are a lot of people!

"Hey, why did sales increase so quickly?" Hao Youlai's eyes widened suddenly.

From 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, the sales volume was only 3,000 copies, but after 10 o'clock, the sales climbed like a rocket, and in just ten minutes, tens of thousands of copies were sold, and the momentum was very good, and by 11 o'clock, 100,000 copies were sold.

"According to this momentum, it is the prelude to the fire!" Hao Youlai was inexplicably excited.

If this momentum can be maintained, it will sell a million copies by 12 p.m., which is already exceeding the bestseller standard. A bestseller is 200,000 copies, after all, there are too many people who write books, and readers have too many choices.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The publishing house swept away the gloomy atmosphere before, and all of them were active, talking about the sales trend of the book, and even the editor-in-chief had a smile on his face and stood up and said: "Everyone will come to the Kaisheng Hotel tonight to hold a celebration banquet." By the way, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao, offline sales should also be followed up, and the sales volume will be counted as much as possible, and it will be reported tomorrow. ”

Liang Qiwen, Zhang Defa, and Xiao Enrong sat together to make tea, and there were three copies of "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Suspicious Tomb" on the tea table, Liang Qiwen said: "Mr. Qin publishes a book, how can he have a personal field, I have already bought 2,000 copies, and it is good to give them to employees." ”

"Brother Liang, you are stingy this time, I bought 5,000 copies. What is more distressing is that there is no place to send it, so I can only collect it myself, and I plan to donate it to the museum after a while. Zhang Defa said with a smile, if you don't cheer at this time, you will be embarrassed to come to the door if you have something in the future.

"It's really hard to deliver, I bought 10,000 copies, and I'm worried to death." Xiao Enrong has invested a lot of money this time. Last time, Qin Xueli helped him point out that there was an ancient tomb under the homestead, and now he is preparing to buy another piece of land, so he is waiting for Qin Xueli to come back and help choose a place.

"The two brothers are ruthless!" Liang Qiwen gave a thumbs up.

"Mom and Dad, look, my brother's book is on fire, and online sales have exceeded one million." Qin Xueshan landed on the interstellar reading website in the evening, and the sales of "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Suspicious Tomb" just exceeded one million, which was more optimistic than Hao Youlai's estimate. During the day, many people don't have time to read, but the prime time at night is the time when the Internet traffic is the largest, and it is also the period when the sales are the highest.

"It's good if it's hot, I was worried that your dad and I wouldn't be able to sell it. Mail back the 100 copies we bought, let the neighbors collect them, and give them back to others. Yu Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again at the end: "By the way, how much can your brother earn?" ”

"It's a lot of money anyway!"

How much money does Qin Xueli make? At the beginning, the agreement signed with Interstellar Culture Publishing House was 60 points online and 20 points offline. When the number of first-day sales was counted the next day, Qin Xueli himself was also taken aback, selling 2.3 million copies online and 40,000 copies offline.

2.3 million copies online, 50 yuan per volume, Qin Xueli took 60%, a total of 69 million. 40,000 offline volumes, 100 yuan per volume, Qin Xueli can get two percent, a total of 800,000. The sum of online and offline is 69.8 million.

Qin Xueli's eyes widened, and he suddenly found that writing books made more money than reading feng shui. 69.8 million, this is only the first day of sales, as the sales continue to increase, the income will continue to hit the account, and even let the children and grandchildren inherit.

However, Qin Xueli understands one thing that the reason why "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Doubtful Tomb" can sell well is not because of how good the book is, nor because of how famous he is, but because of the archaeological live broadcast, and there are zombies and zombie beasts, so it is attractive. It is certain that when this wave of craze passes, the daily sales of "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Suspicious Tomb" will decline.

Qin Xueli's good mood did not last long, and at the exchange meeting that day, Long Menzi stepped forward to congratulate: "Qin Xiaoyou, congratulations!" I checked it just now, and the real-time sales of "Feng Shui Duel: Zhao and Wang Suspicious Tomb" have exceeded three million, and looking at this shape, breaking through 10 million is just around the corner. If you want to write a book, or Xiaoyou is amazing, who are we here, whose book has sold 10 million copies? ”

Wang Daozong's "Feng Shui Miscellaneous" has sold more than 80 million copies, Yao Wentai has several books that have sold tens of millions, and there are also Feng Shui masters who have sold more than 10 million books, but after all, they are only a few, and it is already very remarkable to be able to mail millions of copies.

As soon as Longmenzi's words came out, although there were constant congratulatory voices around, Qin Xueli could feel several jealous eyes shooting over, and hurriedly said: "Master Longmenzi has won the award, and the kid is also stained with Master Wang's light, if it weren't for Master Wang's participation in archaeology, how could he attract so many people." Besides, the credit for breaking the feng shui array is all on Master Wang. ”

"Cunning boy!" Long Menzi muttered to himself, and then said: "Master Wang's natural contribution is indispensable, but it has nothing to do with the sales of books. Being able to sell millions of copies in one day can only show that Xiaoyou is popular. In the eyes of the public, your reputation is much higher than ours old bones, so you don't need to be humble anymore. ”
