Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rhythm of Fire!

The first printing of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is 10,000 copies, which is already very high in the opinion of the Affiliated Press of the University of Finance and Economics. In Qian Minli's view, this is also a relatively high number for Zhao Xingchi, and it can also be said that the expectations of Caida Publishing House for him are still okay.

The average newcomer's new book, with a first printing of 5,000 copies, is considered excellent.

Stephen Zhao was able to print 10,000 for the first time, which is still for the sake of him as a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics.

Although Stephen Zhao didn't think so, he didn't do any publicity after all, and he himself was not a big name, so he recognized it.

On the first day of the listing of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", the reunification was only in Changnan City. At the same time, there is also such a book on the website of the University of Finance Press, but other than that, it is unremarkable.

The next day, the first-day sales data of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" came back: thirty copies.

Undoubtedly, this is a welcome sales, but at the same time it is not an impressive number, after all, the number of copies is so small.

Qian Minli told Stephen Zhao the news, which made Stephen Zhao feel very excited. Although it is not as popular as in YY's novels, the sales of 30 copies a day without any publicity are enough to show that his plan to turn up the earth culture has been successful.

Congratulations!

Zhao Xingchi told his father Zhao Weiguo and mother Lin Baoyi the news, and the two elders were happy for him, and even specially invited a large family to come over for a drink and dinner.

That night, Zhao Weiguo was so drunk that he said with his tongue wide open that he was too happy and relieved.

Zhao Xingchi couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart was very moved.

On the third day of its release, the next day's sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" came back: 100 copies!

Astound!

Qian Minli, who received this data, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and her right hand holding this data was even trembling, because she couldn't believe that the number she saw was real.

100 copies, more than three times the sales on the first day!

What does this mean?

Qian Minli thought with her toes.

As an editor working in a publishing house, she has been immersed in publishing work for many years, and Qian Minli deeply understands that this is a sign that a book is about to become popular!

Without any publicity, the sales on the first day reached 30 copies, which is already a very gratifying achievement for a newcomer. In Qian Minli's work, except for famous writers and online novel gods, she rarely sees a newcomer's book that can achieve this achievement.

It's just that the first-day sales are a bit mysterious, so she didn't care, and the publishing house didn't care, but she began to change from ignoring it before to starting to pay attention, because no one knew whether the book would be popular or hit the street.

However, the next day sales are different.

If the first day of listing is to test the waters, then the next day of the new book is really a day to test whether a book can become popular or will hit the streets.

On the first day of the market, the audience came into contact with the book, and some people wanted it fresh, so they bought it; Some people think it looks good, so they buy it; Some people feel that this book just touched them, so they bought ......, and the reasons for buying the book are strange, not necessarily because the book is good-looking.

However, on the second day of the release, if the audience has passed the freshness period and will buy it back, 80% or 90% of the people will buy it because the book is good.

In addition, if the person who buys it thinks it looks good, they will recommend it to others, or if someone else borrows it and looks good, they think it looks good, so they go to the bookstore to buy it.

Gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the common people!

If a book without any advertising wants to become popular, if it wants to achieve the next day's sales that are more than three times the first-day sales, it must rely on the people's word of mouth.

The results came out, and the next-day sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" were more than three times the sales on the first day, which means that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is really loved by ordinary people, and they are willing to pay for it.

Qian Minli was so excited that her blood was hot, her skin was hot, her heart began to beat wildly, and her cheeks were red: "This guy! This guy! I was really told by this guy, he really has the potential to become a great writer! ”

Qian Minli thought of the words that Zhao Xingchi said confidently when she asked for an autograph before: "What do you know, let me tell you, when I become a famous writer in the future, my signature is the trend and the level!" ”

She thought that Stephen Zhao was bragging, but now, I'm afraid this is no longer bragging, because this is about to become a reality!

Qian Minli took a few deep breaths, calmed down her excitement, took the data and went to the president.

"Yo, isn't this a little money, what's the matter, blushing? It can't be a cold and fever, do you want to go to the hospital? A middle-aged man happened to come out of an office on the right side of the corridor, and when he saw her, he immediately walked over and asked with concern, and his right hand also stretched out, towards her forehead.

Qian Minli dodged to the side, a look of disdain and disgust flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "The deputy editor-in-chief of the king of Bulao bothered, borrowed it!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't feel embarrassed at all, he took his hand back casually, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qian, I heard that the historical novel you signed in sold thirty copies on the first day, is it true?" Hey, when it comes to the operation of the new book, I still have some experience, if needed, Xiao Qian just ask me, I definitely know everything......

Qian Minli didn't listen to his nonsense at all, and took advantage of this kung fu to dodge away, and walked quickly towards the president's office.

Behind him, the middle-aged man's expression froze, and then a trace of anger flashed on his face, and he stared back at Qian Minli's pretty back fiercely, with a greedy and fiery look in his eyes: "Stinky bitch, get you into bed sooner or later, and kill you then!" ”

Qian Minli could feel the cold gaze behind her, which made her heart chill and creepy.

The middle-aged man's surname is Wang, his full name is Wang Gui, and he is the deputy editor-in-chief of the Finance University Publishing House, a veritable second-in-command, second only to Yu Decheng, the president and editor-in-chief.

Speaking of which, Wang Gui has knowledge and unique vision, but there is one thing that is contemptible, that is, he is lustful, and extremely lustful.

When Qian Minli was a counselor at school, she had heard that Wang Gui was an obscene embryo, and she had also heard how Wang Gui played with women and spoiled women. At the time, she didn't think about it, but after entering the publishing house, she finally realized that the reason why the rumors came out was because there must be a reason for the groundless.

Wang Gui is indeed a pervert in human skin, since she entered the publishing house, her beauty immediately aroused Wang Gui's coveting, and she came to get close to her several times.

Once, she even almost fell in love with Wang Gui, and was drugged by Wang Gui in the wine. Fortunately, one of her best friends passed by at that time, saw their group, saw her drunkenness, and then helped her back, making Wang Gui pounce.

Since that fight, Qian Minli has been wary of Wang Gui.

Rao is Wang Gui has been pestering her, and she didn't let Wang Gui take advantage of it, but the pain in her heart made her tired, otherwise she wouldn't have been moved to tears by something inadvertent after seeing Zhao Xingchi that time.

Qian Minli subconsciously grasped the sales data in her hand, whether she can turn over in the future, no longer look at Wang Gui's face, just look at this time.

"Qian Minli, you can do it, come on!" Qian Minli secretly cheered herself up, cleaned up her mood, and resolutely knocked on the office door of President Yu Decheng.
