The next day was August 29.

Tuesday.

When many people thought that the report on "participating in business" in the "Youth Daily" was enough to discuss for a few days, another newspaper in Central Plains Province, "Literature and Art Herald", once again published an article about a young writer: "Participating in business and talking about life, we should 'not waste it'".

Compared with the exaggeration of the "Youth Daily", which is almost 'shocking', this article, just looking at the headline, has a certain depth.

Zhong Changlin really gave it a go, and in order to promote a certain teenager, he basically used all the media contacts accumulated over the years.

In addition, the content of the article is an excerpt from the interview with Su and Hangzhou by Liu Yu, a reporter from Youth Daily, Zhong Changlin really feels that it is too wasteful to publish it at one time, and he wants to have materials, and plans to release it piecemeal after splitting.

Let's talk about "Literature and Art Herald", the name is quite biased, but the circulation is also 70,000.

In addition, because it focuses on literature and art, compared with Youth Daily, which has a wide readership, Literature and Art Herald is mainly aimed at readers who are interested in literature and art, so it is equally effective in helping to spread the influence of 'participating in business'.

Immediately after, it was still not over.

In the last two days of August, two other newspapers in Central Plains Province also appeared one after another articles related to 'participating in business,' one with the headline "Looking at the Young Writers from Small Towns from 'Lin Qing and Xu Bai'" and the other with the headline "On the Style of 'Participating in Business.'"

However, for four consecutive days and four articles, it is still just a foreshadowing.

And so on until September 1.

On the day of the release of the latest issue of "Qingxu", Zhong Changlin also dropped a more heavyweight public opinion bomb.

On this day, the circulation of "Zhongyuan Daily", which reached 530,000 copies, made the headline of the cultural section with an eye-catching black title: "Pay 100,000 in advance, dream boy - a collection of novels by juvenile writers participating in business is about to be published!" 》

Many things in this world, once associated with money, are inevitably cheesy.

However, if this number is large enough to a certain extent, for example, 100,000 yuan, according to the salary standard of many ordinary people in this era, a huge amount of money that can only be earned in 30 years, then things are not so cheesy, and only eye-catching remains.

It has been repeated in different newspapers and different pages for several days, and at the moment, as soon as the news of '100,000 yuan in advance' came out, the name of 'participating in business' quickly broke through the literary circle and began to spread to the whole society, becoming the talk of many people after dinner.

Who is a businessman?

Oh, a juvenile writer.

What did the other party do?

Wow, 9 articles published in a month.

What's going on with 100,000?

Tsk, a publishing house called Boyi, in order to be able to reach a cooperation with the young writer, actually paid a huge amount of 100,000 yuan in advance.

How many are 100,000?

With a salary of 300 a month, you have to work for 30 years to earn so much!

People are just prepaid!

So, the question arises again, why can the participants publish 9 articles a month, and why is Boyi willing to pay the other party a huge amount of 100,000 yuan in advance?

Obviously, the article is well written.

Last question, where do you write articles?

Answer......

"Qingxu"!

They have columns, several newspapers have reported on them, and it is said that this month, two novels will be published at once, as well as interviews.

In this case, let's not talk about the 100,000 prepaid novel collection, this "Qingxu", you must find it!

As a result, on September 1, in the cities of Central Plains Province, where public opinion coverage is the highest, countless bookstores and newsstand owners have an illusion, as if suddenly, the world has an additional mantra:

"Is there a "Qingxu"?"

"Is there a "Qingxu"?"

"Is there a "Qingxu"?"

“……”

At first, the bosses were happy.

Yes!

Absolutely.

Not only in September, but also in August.

No way.

It is said that it was forcibly spread.

Do you want?

I didn't expect it to be.

As a result, the bosses were soon not very happy.

Because it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Not only is there no "Qingxu" for two months, but even "Zhengmao", which was also found to have published an article on participating in the business, is gone.

Even, a small number of provincial magazines that were distributed to the Central Plains, with articles on participating in business, were swept away.

A magazine that no one paid attention to before.

Is it so unsold this time?

What's the situation?!

The situation is......

The amount of goods distributed is too small!

So, early, some people remembered the recent excitement, you one, I one, soon disappeared.

Lin Pu, a college student in Shangdu, was one of the late arrivals.

When school starts next week, I want to sleep a little more recently, and when I go to look for it at noon, both the newsstand on the street and the large book city are already sold out.

Just like Linpu failed to collect the nine newspapers and magazines listed in the "Youth Daily" in the end.

That's a good idea.

The problem is that the corresponding newspapers and magazines have long been swept away by more and more fans of 'participating in business' books.

After riding around the business capital for most of the day, Limpu, who had found nothing, even had some self-doubt.

What a bumpy road in love!

Qiliang's Xu Man and Zhang Chenxi were also not able to buy it.

In fact, it has been ordered through the post office.

The mail delivery is a bit slower than the newsstand, and I really wanted to see it, so I decided to buy another issue.

When I bookmarked.

As a junior in high school, the schedule is tight, and the two girls have to go to school early to participate in early self-study, so they can only try to buy it after school.

Then, it was not found at all.

Hamoto.

The situation is similar.

As soon as today's work ended, Lu Xiaomin and Yao Ran left in a hurry together, came to the mechanical road outside the hospital, the first newspaper kiosk, and rushed straight over.

However, the two girls did not have a chance to speak at all.

The thin boss with bald hair in the newsstand was talking to someone on the phone, and he looked very excited and loud.

“…… Lao Zhao, you can't do it on purpose, such a hot-selling magazine, I noticed it last month, and I told you, and that there is also a businessman, who has been in the newspaper in the past few days, but this time, you only gave me a total of 10 copies of the old and new issues, can I do this business...... How could it not be, other magazines can still hold on to it and not make money, you hurry up and think of a way for me, or I will call Mr. Qi directly...... So what the hell is going on...... Okay, you get in touch, but, by the way, what about "Masashige...... Okay, send it to me tomorrow, well, 30 copies, and a copy of "Jing Nian...... No, huh...... Then hurry up and get in touch...... In addition, if you check the businessman, don't you say that you publish nine articles a month, and see which other magazines are still in this month, and they will all send me 30 copies......

After making the phone in such an eager tone, the boss put down the microphone and saw two young girls standing outside the window, and suddenly raised his hand: "Don't speak, I'll guess first, girl, what are you two going to say...... Is there "Qingxu"? ”

Yao Ran didn't speak, but Lu Xiaomin rolled his eyes: "Boss, we are not deaf, you heard what you just said." ”

The thin boss who is not rich in hair spread his hands: "Then there is no need to talk nonsense, there is nothing related to participating in business." ”

Lu Xiaomin regretted that he didn't come to buy it immediately in the morning, but when he found that a certain teenager was so popular, he was a little happy for him, and continued to talk: "Boss, that ...... There are magazines that are 'participating in business', are they really so easy to sell? ”

"But it's not," the boss saw that there were no other guests for a while, lying on the table of the newspaper kiosk window, glanced at Yao Ran's beautiful petite face, and said: "It's gone in the morning, and besides, you two read the newspaper, in recent days, several newspapers have been reporting, na, today's "Central Plains Daily", said that there is a publishing house, pay 100,000 yuan in advance, and want to publish books for the participating businessmen......"

Lu Xiaomin really didn't know this, so he hurriedly searched: "Where is the newspaper you said?" ”

"There," the boss reached out and pointed to the right, and when he saw Lu Xiaomin rushing over, he was about to get started, so he hurriedly changed his businessman status: "Five cents a piece, don't flip around." ”

Lu Xiaomin took the newspaper, took out five cents and threw it over, and said while rummaging: "Boss, you are so stingy, I originally wanted to order a few magazines from you." ”

The boss took the money with a smile, shook his head and said, "Participating in business, if you don't make a reservation, I can sell it." ”

Lu Xiaomin couldn't stand the boss's face, and blurted out: "Do you know who the businessman is?" ”

The boss was also a little confused: "If you can make me money, he is my father." ”

"Bah, you want to recognize your father, people don't want your stumbling son yet."

Lu Xiaomin snorted, not wanting to continue to talk with the boss who always aimed at Yao Ran's face, took the newspaper, and pulled his friend to leave in a hurry.

The same situation is happening in too many places.

Moreover, the more you can't find it, the more you want it, and as a result, whether you want to buy it or sell it, you have a little more heart and mind about it unconsciously.

Whether it is lust or resentment, it eventually turns into demand.

Shangdu.

Zhong Changlin originally thought that the print run of 10,000 copies of the September issue of "Qingxu" would take at least two or three days to sell out before it could be sold out, and then the next marketing plan would be carried out.

Unexpectedly, the first day the magazine hit the shelves...... No, it's only half a day, and since noon, dealers around the country have been constantly contacting and asking for additional orders.

The phone of the editorial department, from noon to evening, seeing that the sky is going to be dark, is still ringing, in addition, some dealers who are closer to the door have come to the door in person.

Inside Tan Fengzhen's office.

Ending a phone call again, Tan Fengzhen wrote down a number in his notebook, glanced at his own president sitting opposite, and waited for a while, but the bell did not ring immediately, so he lowered his head and began to count.

And then......

Seeing that Tan Fengzhen was sluggish, Zhong Changlin knocked on the table: "Old Tan, how much?" ”

Tan Feng shook his head violently, letting himself come back to his senses, then looked at the other side, turned his head down and looked at the notebook, and so on twice, before he said, "If you are not mistaken, this ...... There are 62 dealers large and small in various places, and a total of ...... will be added"

Before he could finish speaking, the bell rang again.

Tan Fengzhen subconsciously answered, uh-huh, ahh

You mean!

Tan Fengzhen added another list, finally looked at the other side, and slowly gave a number: "63 dealers, a total of 43,600 copies will be added." ”

Zhong Changlin heard the number reported by Tan Fengzhen, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Did you hear that right?

After turning his mind, Zhong Changlin's first thought was "Business Sea", which was also under his own Boyi.

The fast-growing business magazine had already sold nearly 40,000 copies, but this year's overall goal was to exceed 50,000 copies.

Look at "Qingxu" again.

In July, less than 6,000 copies of the magazine were sold, and in August, not counting the recent reprints, it was only 10,000 copies at the beginning.

However, just two months later, on the first day of September, not only did the 10,000 magazines sold out quickly, but there were even more than 40,000 orders at once.

It broke 50,000 directly!

You must know that Zhong Changlin's private assumption that "Qingxu" can take advantage of this shareholder wind to achieve the same goal as "Shanghai" by the end of the year, even if the task is overfulfilled.

Right now......

How should this be calculated?

Moreover, is it the limit to chase these more than 40,000?

When Zhong Changlin's thoughts were flying, Tan Fengzhen answered the phone again, and then said to his editor-in-chief: "Old Zhong, should we immediately contact the printing house and start work overnight?" ”

Zhong Changlin heard Tan Fengzhen say this, came back to his senses, and subconsciously shook his head: "No, no, I have to be hungry again." ”

Still hungry?!

Tan Fengzhen was about to say something, Zhong Changlin had already interrupted, and got up suddenly: "You have to be hungry again, don't reply tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... The day after tomorrow, in addition, by the way, we have to issue an apology statement on the "Central Plains Daily", so that the media can stir up it again, and it will be hotter, Lao Tan, don't care about this, it's all a warm-up, it's all a warm-up for our "Countless Passing Years", think about it, your magazine, according to the retail price of 3 yuan, even if it reaches 100,000 copies, how many can it have? The price of our book is 15 yuan! ”

Tan Fengzhen actually thinks that you should be 'hungry' and 'hungry', and 'fried' when you should be 'fried', and you will quietly print the magazine in advance without delay.

However, since his own president has been stunned, he can only follow what 'hunger marketing' he insists on.

Looking at the notebook in front of him again, Tan Fengzhen was also in a trance.

Since he was transferred to "Qingxu" 12 years ago, Tan Fengzhen never thought that such a relatively marginal literary magazine could still have sales exceeding 50,000 today.

You must know that in the 80s, the highest sales of "Qingxu" were only in the early 30,000s.

After Zhong Changlin finished speaking, he sorted out his plan again, calmed down a little, showed a smile, and said to Tan Fengzhen: "Old Tan, let's go, have dinner tonight, call everyone outside, and be lively together." ”

Tan Fengzhen pointed to the phone.

Zhong Changlin waved his hand: "Let it ring, anyway, if you want a book, you have to call sooner or later." ”

The two said and walked out of Tan Fengzhen's office.

Zhong Changlin was just about to announce the dinner again, when he saw his secretary Li Qing coming in from the corridor outside, saw him, raised his hand and made a gesture.

Zhong Changlin said: "You say it directly." ”

"Zhang Qunli of Nanjun ......" Li Qing said: "...... You weren't in the office, he called me and said let me greet you and ask for 2,000 copies of Qingxu, and said that a manager would be sent to pick up the goods. ”

Thinking of a certain guy he met a few nights ago, Zhong Changlin's first reaction was not to offend.

However, it suddenly occurred to me the predetermined numbers I had just heard.

Such a good omen, why should you suffer this grievance again.

Zhong Changlin has a hunch that as long as a certain teenager is firmly tied to his banner, the glory of Boyi will be ...... As the other party described at the beginning, in the future, 'Boyi Media Group' will ...... In short, it's just the beginning.

Thinking about this, Zhong Changlin no longer hesitated, and said to Li Qing: "Don't give it, let him let the manager get out of Lao Tzu, how far and how far, even if he Zhang Qunli comes over in person, Lao Tzu won't give it, and he won't give it in the future!" ”
