Chapter 400: It's really a fight
400 really fought
The owner of the publishing house is like discovering a mountain of gold, and he can't put down the manuscript in his hand.
In addition, this is a relationship introduced by Ma Youwei, and he understands the deep connections of the author of this book better than many people, so he did not hesitate to make a promise: We will publish your book, and we don't need any conditions from you, in addition, the royalties will also give you the best.
After listening to the words of the publishing house boss, Chen Beiming nodded in a hurry: "Boss He, then you can print five million copies for me first, and then arrange for the distribution as soon as possible, I want to have this book in bookstores all over the country by Saturday next week, in addition, I also have requirements for publicity and marketing." โ
When the owner of the publishing house heard this, he was stupid!
What?
Print 5 million copies first?
He opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Beiming blankly.
At this moment, he really suspected that he was having auditory hallucinations.
"Chen Beiming is a guy who is extremely evil, how could he say such a thing without common sense at this moment?"
The owner of the publishing house couldn't figure it out.
First printing of 5 million copies?
This is what a fool can know, there are many problems here: first, it can't be sold at all! Xia Guo's book consumption power is very strong, but it is a bestseller specifically for popular literature and the like, but "How Far Is War from Us" is a very niche military book, and if it can sell one million, it will be the sky; Second, printing 5,000,000 copies in a week and ensuring that the nationwide distribution is completed by Saturday, this - you-mom - do you think Lao Tzu is a god?
So the owner of the publishing house didn't react for half the day.
But when he came back to his senses, Chen Beiming smiled and said, "Don't you think it's too difficult?" Don't want to agree to my terms? โ
"......" The owner of the publishing house opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Beiming said: "It's okay, Boss He, I drafted the second set of plans for you, you see, we signed a contract, you find a way to help me print five million copies, and complete the distribution of goods across the country as soon as possible, you don't have to shake your head, I know that with your ability you can do it, your connections or something, are the most extensive in the Xia Kingdom publishing industry, do you use cooperation or what, I don't care, I only have one request, complete the printing of five million within a week, And complete the national distribution task; Then there's marketing and publicity, and you've got to do exactly what I ask you to do; If we do that, we can set a time for the final sales, such as two months, and if the books don't sell within this time, I can buy them back at the original price, and of course, if they are all sold out, then your profits will have to be a little less. โ
Chen Beiming told his plan one by one.
The owner of the publishing house was very incredulous at first, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, how could he not figure out how Chen Beiming had such a strong confidence that he must believe that this kind of niche book could sell five million copies in two months?
However, this guy is also an amazing person, and when he was really sure that Chen Beiming was not joking, but really so firm in his ideas, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a big gamble: "Teacher Xiaoshan, you don't need to sign the agreement, I'll help you seal it, and all the requirements are done according to what you say, I have only one request, let's follow the procedure that Teacher Ma Youwei told us, how about it?" โ
The idea of the owner of the publishing house is this, after he takes over this task, he uses his own method to share the risk, he still has a lot of friends, if the book fails and five million copies are not sold, then he himself will lose one or two million at most, this money, he gritted his teeth and can afford to lose, if he earns, then naturally he does not have to worry about this, but whether he loses or earns, he has hooked up with Chen Beiming.
Ma Youwei's earnest advice is still in his ears: "Lao He, I will tell you for the last time, if you want to go further in this life, if you don't want to just become a book seller in this life, then you should hug Xiaoshan's thighs and hold them to death, even if you encounter strong winds and waves, you must hold them to death!" Let me tell you from my experience that your efforts will definitely pay off, and that reward will definitely be more than you can imagine! โ
That's why the owner of the publishing house decided to take a big gamble.
Hearing the words of the publishing house boss, Chen Beiming was a little surprised, he was stunned, and then patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't let you lose money, if you can't sell it, I will buy it back myself, this is my promise to you." โ
Time passed quickly, day after day, week after week passed imperceptibly.
On November 15, 1996, it was just an ordinary Saturday.
In the morning, eight o'clock.
People who had been busy for a week were still sleeping in their beds, and not many people were getting up.
At this time, an explosive news suddenly came out from CCTV's news channel: "The latest news of this station, at six o'clock in the morning on November 15, Xia time, the civil war in the United States Federation broke out in an all-round way, and there are many influences along the border of our country, and the sound of artillery fire can be heard in many areas, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched an emergency plan and is helping the people of Xia to withdraw from Namei in an orderly manner......"
Not many people saw this news.
Wang Aaron, a fourth-year student at Capital University, is one of them.
He was a good student who got up early every day and had to go to run exercises, even on Saturdays at seven o'clock, so at eight o'clock, he turned on the radio and listened to the news while reading in the morning in the small garden.
Suddenly, his eyes widened: "What, what, what?" Did that beauty really fight? โ
After a while, he rushed back to the dormitory like crazy, banging and banging, and with all his might, he woke up a few of his roommates who were sleeping soundly.
"Aaron Wang, where are you going to be in spring?"
"! You're itchy! โ
"Damn-forced Wang Aaron, Lao Tzu won't turn you today, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Yang!"
Everyone was annoyed and scolded.
"It's time to get up, Nami is fighting, Mr. Koyama's prophecy is successful, Nami is fighting!"
He shouted as he turned on the small black-and-white TV in the dormitory and tuned it to the CCTV news channel.
What the?
The roommates were completely sleepy.
Everyone jumped up from the bed together and looked at the black-and-white TV they had picked up from the second-hand market.
"Audience friends, hello everyone, where I am now is the southwest border of our Xia country, look, the opposite side is that beautiful, everyone listen, can you hear the sound of explosions? Lookโthat sideโthere's a big fireball going up into the air! โ
Seeing these news, not only the students exploded, but the researchers at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies also exclaimed: "Isn't it? Did Chen Beiming really say it? โ
When Zhang Chunyu heard the news, he snapped, and the cup in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered: "Impossible? So why did Mei start fighting? It shouldn't be hit! It really shouldn't be hit! โ
The owner of the publishing house woke up early in the morning, and when he heard the news, he was first shocked, and then couldn't help laughing: "The prophecy was successful, and the prophecy was really successful, okay, okay, now, our books are sold out." โ
