In fact, not only the major bookstall owners are confused, but even other publishing houses in Xiangjiang can't figure out the reason for this.

You must know that since the unique book "Wild Shenhailu" is like a group of dark horses, stirring up a mess in the Xiangjiang book circle, many publishing houses have been paying attention to this author's new work.

They even wrote a lot of letters to He Yun, but none of them received a reply from the author. target

Now, this author has a new edition, and they are naturally very concerned.

However, they only saw "thunder" and did not see "rain", which made them a little puzzled.

What the hell is Boyi Publishing House doing?

Advertisements are overwhelming, but new books do not appear in the major bookstalls, which is really puzzling.

However, just when everyone was puzzled, a piece of news quietly came out.

It turned out that just the next day, a tabloid in Xiangjiang reported that Boyi Publishing House had signed a gambling agreement with the author Man Jianghong!

The content of the agreement was published in a grand manner.

At this moment, the Xiangjiang book circle suddenly exploded!

200,000 copies!

What a concept!

Do you think that the total sales of this author's new works can reach more than 200,000 copies?

Obviously, many people don't believe it at all, in their eyes, although "Savage Shenhailu" has achieved good sales, it does not mean that the author's second new book can sell more than 200,000 copies.

After all, there are only a few million people in Xiangjiang, except for those who don't like to read, and some who don't have the money to buy, there are not many real readers.

200,000 copies, that's something that only famous writers can reach.

However, on the second day, Man Jianghong's new works appeared on the major bookstalls in Xiangjiang.

Perhaps because of the previous series of "hype", many readers quickly discovered this new book.

Ming Pao, Editorial Department.

At this time, Mr. Cha was reading a newspaper.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a man walked in.

"Boss, can you take a look at this?"

The visitor handed Mr. Cha a new book in his hand.

When Mr. Cha looked at the cover of the book, he was stunned.

"Man Jianghong? New? This is the book that made a fuss the other day? This Boyi Publishing House is really capable of tossing. ”

After muttering in a low voice, Mr. Cha looked at the title of the book again, but he sighed lightly, and immediately muttered: ""Archaeological Notes"? What is it? Is archaeology ......? ”

At this moment, Mr. Cha couldn't help but wonder.

Because as far as the title of the book is concerned, he thinks it is unremarkable, and the style is too much worse than the author's previous works.

"I'd like to see what it's written about?"

Just when Mr. Cha was looking at the book called "Archaeological Notes", on the other side, Ni Kuang was also looking at the book.

After he spent several hours reading the book, he fell silent instantly, his expression slightly serious, and he was silent for a long time.

After a while, he sighed heavily and said, "What an "Archaeological Notes", it seems that I underestimated this author. ”

…………

At this moment, Huang Yi also has the same sigh as Ni Kuang.

You must know that before this, he had not read this book, and Zhao Shanqi didn't even say anything about this "marketing".

Now it seems that Huang Yi feels that Zhao Shanqi's move is right.

Maybe he can really win!

In fact, Zhao Shanqi has already won.

Because just that night, he got the news that the 30,000 copies that had been put on the market in the early stage had been sold out.

The total number of pre-orders for each bookstall has also reached 30,000 copies, that is, in less than a day, 60,000 copies have been sold.

What makes Zhao Shanqi even happier is that compared with "Wild Shenhailu", everyone is obviously more interested in the book "Archaeological Notes".

Because the three ancient tombs involved in this book are all quite mysterious ancient tombs on the mainland.

Moreover, many Xiangjiang people are immigrants from the mainland, and many of them have only been in Xiangjiang for one or two decades, so they know many things about the mainland very well.

But for these mysterious tombs, they have only heard of their names, and have never seen real tombs.

Now, in this book, not only the origin of the three ancient tombs is detailed in detail, but also the plot in the book is full of ups and downs and mystery.

More importantly, books on this kind of theme are rarely seen in Xiangjiang, and only Ni Kuang's "Wesley" Tomb series is somewhat similar to this book.

In addition, there is also "Qin Warriors" created by Li Bihua, which has something to do with the theme of ancient tombs.

That's right, it is the original book of "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" starring Lao Mouzi and Gong Meinu.

Strictly speaking, it is the earliest "crossing", and the later "Mythology" is actually adapted from this one.

Of course, all of this is far from it, back to the moment.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the subject matter that this book not only attracted the favor of many "fans" of Man Jianghong, but also made many readers who like this kind of mysterious theme have a strong interest in this book.

In addition, Zhao Shanqi's series of "marketing" publicity in the early stage successfully made the book directly exceed the ultra-high sales of 150,000 copies in just one week.

At the same time, even in Southeast Asia and even Wanwan, publishers have approached the door and plan to co-publish the book.

Not only that, some radio stations in Xiangjiang have also begun to contact Zhao Shanqi, hoping to obtain the audio copyright of the book through him.

It is even said that TVB has shown a hint of interest in the film and television adaptation of this book.

Although I don't know if it's true or not, this is enough to show how popular this book is.

At this time, Man Jianghong, a mainland author, has completely gained a firm foothold in the Xiangjiang book circle.

For this reason, the senior management of the Boyi Publishing House asked Zhao Shanqi to send a telegram to He Yun, who was far away in the mainland, hoping that He Yun would come to Hong Kong in the near future to participate in the signing meeting held by the publishing house.

But for this request, Zhao Shanqi directly refused.

He soon handed in his resignation and left the Boyish Publishing House.

Soon after, he founded his own publishing house.

For these, He Yun, who was in the mainland at this time, naturally didn't know.

It wasn't until the end of August that Boyi Publishing House sent him a letter and HK$30,000 that he learned about the situation.

The moment he converted the money into a famous currency and deposited it in his passbook, he was much calmer.

Although there was nearly 50,000 yuan in the passbook, when he thought that he still had 70,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties, he couldn't help but mutter: "Doesn't this money seem to be difficult to earn?" ”

Well, at this moment, He Yun is indeed a little floating.

Of course, drifting back, but He Yun has not forgotten his main task in the second half of the year.

After he returned to school, he continued to write "Savage Shenhailu" while he began to think about a new direction for academic papers.

The latter, in particular, quickly established a new academic research direction after consulting Professor Ma.

This time, he intends to study the influence of ancient mythology on classical Chinese literature.
