Chapter 606: Surprise and Sales

How can you not be excited?

He has been paying attention to Shen Xin... no, Shen Zheng since he knew him. From "Soul of Chess" to "Steel Refining", although he hasn't read all the content, but he has watched the serialization of "ComicFuture". Apart from envy, he Besides, there is only admiration.

The other half of envy is actually jealousy.

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

Compared with Shen Zheng, what does he lack? Or to put it more bluntly again, why can he get the current results?

It is said that literati look down on each other, so it is not the case in the circle of comics.

If he hadn't accidentally watched Shen Xin's speech on "Soul of Chess: Beidou Cup", he might not have realized the age of creating "Minecraft". If Shen Xin hadn't stood up for himself in the incident of "being swiped out of votes", he might have been unable to continue to create.

Then, jealousy turned into gratitude and admiration.

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

He also took the time to watch "Smelting Steel". Compared with the complete story, he valued a concept in "Smelting Steel" more.

Equivalent exchange!

That's right, as long as you work hard to create works, you will definitely gain something.

The book signing two days ago is a good example.

But...wait a while, what should I say when I see Mr. Shen?

Hello, I am your fan? Or, hello, I'm Zuo Yuan?

Is it too direct? Will he recognize himself?

Probably not, after all, I didn't have much interaction with him.

Thinking of the end, Zuo Yuan actually felt a little impetuous and excited in his heart, and the hand holding the pamphlet was also sweating.

I really look forward to it.

"As expected of Mr. Shen...there are so many readers..." said a staff member pushing a cart from the aisle.

No, this is Teacher Shen.

Zuo Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

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

"Yes, I can't figure out the reason. However, this line of work is becoming more and more difficult."

The voices of the two were not too loud, but Zuo Yuan, who was standing outside, could still hear the conversation between the two.

Can't sell it! ?

With a thud in his heart, he quickly turned his head to look at the two people who were talking.

He had worked here before, but he had never seen them. These two people should be newcomers.

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

"Um?"

One of them stopped and looked at Zuo Yuan.

"I would like to ask, how is the sales of "Return to 12" which was released two days ago?"

This is what Zuo Yuan is most concerned about.

""Returning to 12 Years Old"?" The speaker raised his head and thought about it for a long time, "Sorry, I can't remember it. However, the sales of the booklet are not good these days."

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

"Hey, can you go or not? There is an empty seat in front." The people behind Zuo Yuan were a little impatient.

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

Not too good... What will be the result of "Back to 12"? Should be about the same?

Why don't you call Teacher Yan first?

After telling Yan Fei his inner worries, Zuo Yuan turned his head and looked at Ji Man, he was in such a mess now that he had no intention of meeting Shen Xin again, looking around, his eyes fell on an Internet cafe across the road.

Stay there for a while, shall we? I hope Teacher Yan can be faster.

Crossing the road, Zuo Yuan entered the Internet cafe.

"Mom... Hurry up, I'm coming in."

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

At this time the sky. There was a drizzle.

...

When Yan Fei received Zuo Yuan's call, she was working with other editors on the follow-up issue of the novel at "Qichuang Library".

After hanging up the phone, Yan Fei returned to the editorial department again.

"What's wrong?" asked an editor.

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

"Is it important?" the editor asked.

"Is it okay? An author is asking about the sales volume of the booklet..." Yan Fei frowned, folded her arms and looked at the screen, but her mind was always thinking about Zuo Yuan.

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

"Ah...it's not over yet."

"At most half an hour... Please." Yan Fei also ignored the reaction of another editor and left the editorial department.

The usual work of the sales department is also very heavy. What they have to face is not just the magazine "ComicFuture", but all magazines of Yishu Culture, as well as the income from electronic editions and copyrights.

Unless it is a top cartoonist, or a new work highlighted above, follow-up will be carried out in the first week of release, otherwise, it is impossible for the sales department to make daily statistics, basically once a week.

After Yan Fei informed the sales department of her intention, the statisticians still had some excuses, because "Returning to 12" has only been released for 4 days, less than a week.

The statistics are not cumbersome, but it is quite troublesome to find the data. Moreover, due to the limited manpower, it is impossible to do it at all.

Yan Fei rolled up her sleeves repeatedly, and almost dragged the statistician to find the manager Jiang Zhong, only to be relented.

Find the data and then add it up.

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

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

"No... it seems that the statistics are wrong... I'll do the calculation again." The statistician checked the data again, and after confirming that it was correct, his face changed drastically, and he turned to look at Jiang Zhong who was sitting on the 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, and 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? This is definitely wrong!" Yan Fei became anxious when she saw this number, "Did you miss a zero?"

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

The current situation is clearly not the case.

"Xiaoyan, don't worry... I don't know what the problem is now, and it may be that the original data is wrong." Jiang Zhong also stood up, clapped his hands twice, and focused everyone's attention. "Let's put down your work now, and count all the data of the past few days - what are the data of "Ding Shi" these two days? Hurry up and figure it out..."

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

Yan Fei's mind was a little dazed. Recently, her thoughts were all on the novel, and she forgot about the sales of "Ding Shi".

The staff in the sales department immediately counted up.

"No, Manager Jiang, I just have one question." Yan Fei turned to look at Jiang Zhong, "Is there not much difference in the other statistics you have collected in the past few days?"

"No! However, the statistics we made are basically the signature comics of "Qichuang Library" and "Youth Future". The sales volume of these works is not high. The only booklets released by ComicFuture in the last week are "Smelting Steel" and "Returning to 12 Years Old." Jiang Zhong explained.

"Where's the "CF" app?" Yan Fei asked again.

"It's not that you don't know what the status of the app is. Its benefits are not good. Moreover, it is still mainly based on monthly subscriptions. Within three or four days, the data will not change significantly." Jiang Zhong explained.

Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, how could such a thing happen?

"Mr. Jiang, the weekly sales of "Ding Shi" are out." An employee stood up.

"How much?" Yan Fei asked immediately.

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