Chapter 234 Big Sale
The owner of Yunmeng Bookstore, the largest bookstore in Changping City, is a typical martial arts fan. Since Xiao Yunhai's "Little Li Fei Dao" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" were published, he has completely fallen in love with these two martial arts novels.
I usually have nothing to do in the bookstore, so I can't stop reading.
He is a very generous person. When he learned that Xiao Yunhai's "Swordsman" was about to be released, he immediately ordered a full 50,000 copies from Sunshine Publishing House.
He felt that with Xiao Yunhai's fame and talent, 50,000 copies should be able to be sold.
On the first day on the shelves, Boss Zhang came to the bookstore early.
Before he could reach the door, he was immediately taken aback by the situation outside.
"A lot of people."
It was only seven o'clock now, and the weather was extremely cold, but there was already a line of dozens of meters long in front of his bookstore, with at least three or four hundred people.
Boss Zhang asked a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s next to him and said, "Brother, what are you doing here so early?"
The man glanced at Boss Zhang and said, "What else can I do? Of course I'm buying books. Xiao Yunhai's "Swordsman" is on the shelves today. In order to buy this book as soon as possible, I'll be there at 6:30. I thought I came early, but look, the person in front came earlier than me. Depressed."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Boss Zhang was overjoyed. His guess was correct. The attraction of Xiao Yunhai's "Swordsman" is definitely not over. Fifty thousand copies are sure to sell.
"Hey, aren't you Boss Zhang of the bookstore? Why are you lining up?" A regular customer of the bookstore said when he saw Boss Zhang.
The middle-aged man was taken aback and asked, "You are the boss? Then why haven't you opened the door yet."
The people around heard the words of the two and quickly looked at Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang spread his hands and said, "It's useless for me to open the door now. The publishing house will not deliver "Swordsman" until eight o'clock, and everyone will have to wait for a while."
"I said, Boss Zhang, I don't know how many copies of "Swordsman" you have entered? We have hundreds of people here, and some can even sell a dozen copies at once. If there are not enough, we will not waste time with you. already."
Boss Zhang laughed and said: "Don't worry, I have entered a total of 50,000 copies, and I guarantee that there will be no problem."
"oops,
Boss Zhang is very arrogant. If he dares to enter 50,000 copies at once, he is not afraid of not being able to sell it. "
"Can't sell it? What a joke. Who is Emperor Yun? There are more than 20 million book fans alone. If you add his movie fans and fans, it will be even more numerous. If I were Boss Zhang, I would also Dare to enter so much."
"That's right. I'm a fan of Yun Huang's books. Ever since I read "Little Li Feidao" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", the martial arts novels that I used to regard as classics can no longer be read. Great, I've read it no less than ten times, and I still can't put it down."
"Boss Zhang, can't you give them a call and ask them to deliver it in advance? It's so cold, it's not good for everyone to freeze here."
"that is."
Boss Zhang nodded and said, "My phone was left in the bookstore last night, should I go in and call them to ask?"
Five minutes later, Boss Zhang opened the door of the bookstore, held a loudspeaker, and shouted: "Tell everyone good news, in view of the collective requirements of the major bookstores in Changping City, "Swordsman" is estimated to be here in ten minutes. Please. Don't worry everyone."
Hearing the news, the team immediately burst into cheers.
Boss Zhang smiled, took out the audio equipment from the house, and put down "A Laugh in the Sea" written by Xiao Yunhai for "Swordsman".
"With a laugh from the sea, the tide is rolling on both sides of the strait..."
Accompanied by Xiao Yunhai's desolate and heroic singing, everyone unknowingly aroused a sense of pride, and they sang along with the song.
The chorus of hundreds of people made people passing by turn back frequently, wondering what they were doing.
Ten minutes later, the first batch of brand-new "Swordsman" was removed from the car one by one.
Boss Zhang had already moved two large tables on both sides of the door, and asked the bookstore staff to put the books directly on the table.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, you go to the table on the left. Xiao Zhang, you and I are on the table on the right, let's go hand in hand, it will be faster.
Half an hour later, the first batch of 3,000 copies of "Swordsman" was sold out, but the number of people in line did not decrease, but more than just now.
"Boss, where's the book? Where's my "Swordsman"?"
"Boss, didn't you say you got 50,000 copies? Why are they gone now? You're not lying to us, are you?"
The customers in front shouted when they saw that they were running out of books.
Boss Zhang accompanied him with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, the second batch will arrive soon. Look, the car is here. There are 5,000 copies in this batch, which should be able to meet everyone's needs."
An hour later, the second batch of five thousand copies sold out.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the third batch of 10,000 copies of "Swordsman" arrived, and all sold out at twelve o'clock.
From 7:30 to 12:00, Boss Zhang and his three staff worked for four and a half hours, let alone rest, there was no time to drink water.
Looking at the two large boxes full of Huaxia coins, Boss Zhang was in pain and joy.
Usually, his bookstore can sell 30,000 yuan a month, which is already very good.
But in just one morning today, the sales of 18,000 copies brought him a full profit of 60,000, which made Boss Zhang a little dizzy and his blood pressure was a little high.
And depending on the situation, it is estimated that the afternoon will be indispensable.
In Yanjing, Tianjin, Changsha, Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, situations like Boss Zhang are constantly being staged on this day.
Those bookstore owners who didn't enter or did not enter "Swordsman" are regretting to death.
It's all money.
At this time, the customer service room of Sunshine Publishing House was also very busy. From ten o'clock in the morning, six telephones were ringing non-stop all the time.
This bookstore has 5,000 copies, and that bookstore has 10,000 copies. Good guy, it’s not easy to give the six little girls who answer the phone. It was twelve o'clock, and the phone didn't stop.
Hua Ming came over early in the morning. Seeing this situation, he was happy and said to the six little girls, "You are working hard today, and your salary will be tripled this month."
The little girl who was already a little impatient heard the news, cheered, and instantly regained her spirits.
Hua Mingquan asked his secretary to buy lunch for the six people. The little girls answered the phone while eating. It was really a sleepless night.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Li from the Finance Department found Hua Mingquan and said happily: "Mr. Hua, so far, there have been 452 bookstores that have reserved "Swordsman", 830 20,000 copies are much better than our previous expectations. With such a large number, our own printing house is far from enough, and we need to ask other printing houses to help.”
Hua Mingquan took a deep breath and said: "It's so hot. In less than a day, there are so many bookstores asking for goods. Haha, Yun Huang is worthy of being Yun Huang, he is simply synonymous with miracles. Who else can be in China? Compared to him?"
"It's also thanks to Mr. Hua that you have discerning eyes and skills, and you are very resolute. If you didn't take action quickly and directly signed "Swordsman", we would not have achieved such a result."
"Okay, don't flatter me, kid. Hurry up and contact the printing factory. Remember, you must find a regular factory to ensure the printing quality of "Swordsman". This is the best time for our Sunshine Publishing House to make a name for itself. , there must be no quality problems."
Xiao Li said: "Don't worry, President Hua, I understand."
After Xiao Li went out, Hua Mingquan called Xiao Yunhai.
At this time, Xiao Yunhai was driving a big off-road, and was walking home with Zhao Wanqing.
The plane had already been booked, but Su Yingxue called and said that some media knew about his flight home, and he might be waiting for him at the airport tomorrow.
Xiao Yunhai didn't want to announce his relationship with Zhao Wanqing to the outside world so soon, but in desperation, Xiao Yunhai asked Su Yingxue to refund the plane ticket, and he drove a large off-road vehicle borrowed from the company and brought it with him. Zhao Wanqing, together, marched in the direction of southern Henan.
Fortunately, the two places are not far from each other, and it takes only four or five hours to drive on the expressway.
The two were chatting when Xiao Yunhai's phone rang.
Zhao Wanqing helped Xiao Yunhai put on the earphones and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, my name is Hua Mingquan."
"Mr. Hua called me at this time, not because he wanted to tell me that "Swordsman" is not selling well."
Hua Mingquan laughed and said: "On the contrary, I'm here to congratulate you. The 10 million copies of "Swordsman" first printed by our Sunshine Publishing House have all been divided up by major bookstores. It has reached more than six million. That is to say, on the first day, your "Swordsman" is not enough to sell. You said, this is good news. "
Xiao Yunhai said happily, "This is indeed good news."
Although he had expected that "Swordsman" would be a success, Xiao Yunhai was quite surprised that he could achieve such a good result on the first day.
The charm of Master Jin's martial arts novels is not guaranteed. Whether it is a past life or this life, it can be popular in the Chinese world.
The two chatted for a while about Xiaoao Jianghu before hanging up.
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "My "Swordsman" sold out on the first day, and all major bookstores were out of stock. You think I should be happy? It brought me."
Zhao Wanqing asked inexplicably, "Didn't your "Fairy Tale" album sell for 200 million?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I called the finance department of Mango Channel a long time ago. I planned and invested in a variety show called "The Voice of China", which is probably under intense recording now."
"Is that the show that Sister Na participated in?"
"you know?"
"Yeah. I talked to Sister Na, and she told me that she was a mentor in a variety show on Mango Channel, and there seemed to be teacher He Huan."
"That's right."
"I thought you were making money very fast, but I didn't expect you to spend money faster."
