Chapter 297: Fire!
Xu Rui, the president of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, really put the possibility of the entire publishing house rising again this time on the newcomer's new work "Sword Breaking the Sky".
In fact, when she talked about this work on extremely favorable terms, many employees in the publishing house felt that their president was already sick and rushed to the doctor!
And when Xu Rui announced that she would print 200,000 copies of this work for the first time, the employees of the publishing house felt that their president had lost their hearts and gone crazy!
They don't have much objection to Xu Rui signing this "Sword Breaking the Sky", after all, this work is really good, and the old employees in the entire publishing house have also abdicated to make way for Xian, young employees who can quickly accept new things, of course, will not have any prejudice against the Internet.
However, even if they all approve of "Sword Breaking the Sky", they don't think that such a complete newcomer new work, or even a work without any newcomer award blessing, needs to be printed for the first time 200,000 copies!
This has almost put the last bit of vitality of the entire publishing house into this work, and if its sales die violently, then the entire publishing house will definitely be doomed!
There are several loyal employees who have a lot of feelings for this publishing house and want to work with Xu Rui, who inherited the publishing house, to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, and they can't help but persuade Xu Rui not to make such a desperate bet......
The first printing of 200,000 copies is really too big, the average rookie author, the first printing of 8,000 copies, is already worthy of him, in fact, a print of 8,000 copies, maybe it will not be sold out by then, and the works that cannot be sold, the loss of money, of course, has to be paid by the publishing house.
Why is the situation of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House so bad, it is because Xu Rui's father has also taken a very rash step......
What is the difference between Xu Rui's approach now and her father, who has passed away and left such a mess?
However, Xu Rui chose to go his own way this time, and this also ushered in another turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, and everyone felt that Xu Rui, the president, had broken the jar......
What's even more desperate is undoubtedly the opponent of "Sword Breaking the Sky", which is still the new work "Sword and Sword" by Zhang Jinghan, a popular martial arts author!
Although Zhang Jinghan is not a really top commercial writer, the sales of his works are indeed very stable, and the publishing house that can publish his works will definitely not lose, and cooperating with an author like him is much more reliable than betting on newcomers.
This is also the reason why the large publishing house Chang Qigong Publishing House did not choose to sign "Sword Breaking the Sky", but chose Zhang Jinghan's "Sword Hero".
All in all, all of this made the employees of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House feel that their publishing house was really going to end......
Xu Rui held a meeting in this situation, asking everyone to at least wait for the first week of sales of "Sword Breaking the Sky" to come out.
However, before the first week of sales came out, on the first day after the release of "Sword Breaking the Sky", the employees of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House had already changed their original more decadent mental state.
The reason is simple, some experienced employees only need to go to the bookstore to see it in person to know the popularity of "Sword Breaking the Sky......
What makes them incredible is that the popularity of "Sword Breaking the Sky" is definitely a bestseller!
It has accumulated a large number of fans on the Internet, and the readers who first bought it are all follow-up readers who can't wait to read the following plot, and they are really going crazy after waiting for half a month!
So the enthusiasm they have erupted in buying books is really not comparable to the kind of traditional paper book readers.
"Sword Breaking the Sky" has nearly 100,000 collections on the first website, not to mention the kind of readers who are too lazy to click on the collection and are only happy with the browser collection, and some readers do not read it on the website, but in the forum.
The Internet can be reproduced at will in this world, because it is posted on the Internet for free, and there is no contract with the website, so it can be reprinted in various ways.
The real collection of nearly 100,000 yuan, coupled with the readers who read this work in other forums, made Xu Rui make such a seemingly crazy decision, that is, to directly print 200,000 copies of "Sword Breaking the Sky"!
This kind of practice of treating new authors as the kind of best-selling authors is also a crazy move only made by the president of a publishing house like Xu Rui, who makes a big gamble.
However, it turned out to be very necessary!
Just because "Sword Breaks the Sky" on the fifth day of its release, the first printing of 200,000 copies has been sold out!
However, this still did not satisfy the thirst of readers, but more and more readers wanted to buy it because of the superb creativity and perfect reputation of this work!
Readers who have not bought the book for the time being have even gone to the Internet to find this work to read......
At this moment, even Xu Rui was stunned, she originally thought that the first printing of 200,000 copies would definitely overestimate the best-selling degree of "Sword Breaking the Sky" as much as possible, she felt that it was already the limit to sell 150,000 copies in the first week, who knew that it was not yet a week, and 200,000 copies were all sold out!
Then the major bookstores and bookstores also urged the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House to hurry up the supply, because they were also under pressure from readers!
As soon as many readers entered the bookstore, they went straight to the point, that is, to ask the staff if there was still "Sword Breaking the Sky......
The answer, of course, is no, because it has already sold out.
There are also some sensible readers who even put on the idea of a sample book for people to try to read, asking if it can be sold.
The answer, of course, is no, and as a result, this has led many readers to be cheeky to read the sample book, anyway, after the eyes first.
All of this has put a lot of pressure on bookstores, and they can only frantically urge the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House to buy goods.
And Xu Rui and the entire Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, of course, were in pain and happy, and she also arranged it for the first time, and hurriedly printed "Sword Breaking the Sky"!
And Xu Rui has completely become the authority of the entire publishing house with this big gamble, and many employees have already admired her!
What a perfect vision is this?
The selected book was an instant hit!
And "Sword and Sword", which was previously thought to be absolutely crushing "Sword Breaking the Sky" in sales, also sold out in its first week, and it was only less than 20,000 copies!
The first week sales of "Sword Breaking the Sky" were 200,000 copies, because its first printing was only 200,000 copies, and "Sword and Sword" sold according to this first week, I am afraid that its total sales will not reach 200,000 copies......
"Sword Breaking the Sky" is on fire!
"Sword and Sword" hits the streets!
