How can it not be excited?

He had never known Shen Xin...... No, Shen Zheng has been paying attention to him since the beginning, from "Chess Soul" to "Steel Forge", although he has not read all the content, but after watching the serialization of "Comic Future", he only has admiration in addition to envy.

The other half of envy is actually jealousy.

Whenever envy arises, it is inevitable that a trace of strange thoughts will arise in the heart.

Compared with Shen Zheng, what do you lack? Or to put it in vain again, how can he get his current results?

It is said that literati are light, and the circle of comics is not the same.

If he hadn't accidentally watched Shen Xin's speech on "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup", he might not have the age to create "Minecraft". If it weren't for Shen Xin's strong stand up for himself in the "being swiped" incident, he might not have been able to continue creating.

Thus, jealousy turns into gratitude and admiration.

If he was in Shen Zheng's position, it is estimated that his heart would have drifted far away.

He also took the time to watch "Steel", and he valued a concept in "Steel" more than the complete story.

Equivalent exchange!

That's right, as long as you work hard to create a work, you will definitely reap the rewards.

The book signing sessions held two days ago were a good example.

But...... Wait a while, how should I talk when I see Mr. Shen?

Hello, I'm your fan? Or do you say, hello, I'm Zuo Yuan?

Isn't it too straightforward? Will he recognize himself?

Probably not, after all, I don't have much intersection with him.

Thinking of the end, Zuo Yuan's heart was a little impetuous, excited, holding the hand of the single book, and sweat also oozed.

I'm really looking forward to it.

"It is worthy of Mr. Shen...... There are so many readers......," said a staff member who passed by pushing a cart down the aisle.

That's not it, this is Mr. Shen.

Zuo Yuan's mouth was slightly upturned.

"But...... Only Mr. Shen can be so popular, right? In the past two days, some single books have not been sold at all. Another employee sighed.

"Also, I can't figure out why. However, this line of work is getting harder and harder to do. ”

The voices of the two people were not too loud, but Zuo Yuan, who was standing in the outer position, still heard the conversation between the two people.

Can't sell!?

He chuckled in his heart, and quickly looked back at the two who were talking.

He'd worked here, but he hadn't seen them, and the two men were supposed to be new.

"That...... Two brothers, I want to ask one thing. Zuo Yuan hurriedly stopped the two people.

"Huh?"

One of them stopped to look at Zuo Yuan.

"I want to ask, how about the sales of "12 Years Again", which was released two days ago?"

This is what Zuo Yuan is most concerned about.

"12 Years Old?" The person who spoke looked up and thought back for a long time, "Sorry, I can't remember." However, the sales of single books have not been good these days. ”

"Yes...... Is it? Zuo Yuan's eyes widened, and his heart was half cold.

"Hey, you can't go, there's a vacancy ahead." The people behind Zuo Yuan were a little impatient.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Zuo Yuan gave up his position and quickly walked out of the Jiman Bookstore.

It's not very good...... what will be the result of "12 Years Old Again"? It should be about the same, right?

Let's give Mr. Yan a call first?

After telling Yan Fei about his inner worries, Zuo Yuan looked back at Ji Man, he was so distraught that he didn't have the heart to meet Shen Xin again, he looked around, and his eyes fell on an Internet café across the road.

Stay there for a while, right? I hope Mr. Yan can be faster.

Crossing the street, Zuo Yuan entered the Internet café.

"Mom...... Hurry up, you're coming in. ”

In less than ten minutes, a little girl, holding a woman's hand, entered the Jiman bookstore.

The sky at this time. There was a drizzle.

……

When Yan Fei received Zuo Yuan's call, she was in the "Qichuang Library" and the follow-up questions that other editors were dealing with.

Hanging up the phone, Yan Fei returned to the editorial office again.

"What's wrong?" An editor asked.

"It's nothing, the author's business ......" Yan Fei was a little absent-minded.

"Does it matter?" The editor asked.

"Okay, right? An author is asking about the sales of single books...... "Yan Fei frowned, crossed her arms to her chest, and looked at the screen, but she always thought about Zuo Yuan's affairs in her heart.

After struggling for a long time, Yan Fei said to another editor, "You ...... If you don't keep an eye on it first, I'll go to the sales department. ”

"Ah...... It's not over yet. ”

"Half an hour at most...... Come on. Yan Fei also ignored the reaction of another editor and left the editorial office.

The sales department usually has a heavy workload, and they have to deal with not only the magazine "Comic Future", but all the magazines of Yishu Culture, as well as the income from electronic editions and copyrights.

Unless it's a top cartoonist, or a new work that the focus on above, will be followed up in the first week of release.,Otherwise,It's impossible for the sales department to do daily statistics.,It's basically a weekly count.。

After Yan Fei informed the sales department of her intentions, the statisticians still had some prevarication, because "12 Years Old Again" had just been released for 4 days and had not yet been a week.

Statistics are not cumbersome, but finding data is quite cumbersome, and besides, limited manpower is limited, so it is impossible to do it at all.

Yan Fei rolled up her sleeves repeatedly, and the statistician who was almost pulling her went to find the manager Jiang Zhong, but the other party relented.

Check the data and add it up.

As soon as the results came out, the statistician rubbed his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yan Fei saw that the statistician's face changed slightly.

"I didn't ...... It seems that the statistics are wrong...... I'll do the math again. After the statistician checked the data again, after confirming that it was correct, his face changed drastically, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Zhong who was sitting inside, "Manager, something happened!" ”

"What's going on?" Jiang Zhong was confused and looked at the statistician in surprise.

"I'll give you the report, you can see it yourself-" The statistician sent the report to Jiang Zhong, and Yan Fei also walked around, looking at the statistician's laptop screen.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand...... 3842？ There's absolutely something wrong with that! Yan Fei was also anxious when she saw this number, "Are you missing a zero?" ”

If there is only a few thousand or even 10,000 copies short, it may be explained by the market.

This is clearly not the case now.

"Xiao Yan, don't worry...... It is not known what the problem is, and it is possible that the original data is wrong. Jiang Zhong also stood up, clapped his hands twice, and focused everyone's attention, "Now you put down your work and count all the data of the past few days - what is the data of "Ding Shi" in the past two days? Hurry up and figure it out......"

By the way, there is also "Ding Food"!

Yan Fei's brain was a little dazed, and her mind has been on it recently, forgetting the sales of "Ding Food".

The staff of the sales department immediately counted it.

"No, Manager Jiang, I only have one question." Yan Fei turned her head to look at Jiang Zhong, "The other data you have counted in the past few days, isn't there much difference?" ”

"Nope! However, the statistics we made are basically the signature comics of "Qichuang Library" and "Young Future", the sales of these works are not high, 50,000 first editions are very good, and the decline is limited, and the single books of "Comic Future" on the shelves in the last week are only "Steel Refining" and "12 Years Old Again". Jiang Zhong explained.

"What about the CF app?" Yan Fei asked again.

"It's not that you don't know what the state of the app is. The benefits themselves are not good, and they are mainly monthly, and the data will not change significantly within three or four days. Jiang Zhong explained.

Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, how could this happen?

"Mr. Jiang, the weekly sales of "Ding Food" have come out." An employee stood up.

"How much?" Yan Fei immediately asked.

"Sales from the 17th to yesterday were, 6,637 copies." The employee's face was ugly.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
