Chapter 292, Her temptation, cultural hardship and hot journey (please subscribe!)(1/2)
After queuing for half an hour, it was finally a few people's turn.
Ye Ning glanced at the door and sold the new book sign, shouting: "Come to 5 books "Cultural Travel".
The staff took her five copies without saying a word.
Ye Ning started out, Sun Manning, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe followed suit, and each requested 5 books.
When it was Li Heng's turn, the staff thought he would also want 5 books, so they took the initiative to say, "There are still the last two books."
Li Heng was stunned, "Is the stock out of stock?"
The staff took off the new book sale sign from the wall, took out two books of "Cultural Journey", and asked him, "Do you want it?"
Before Li Heng could reply, the girl behind him was already anxious, so she pulled Li Heng's sleeve and said, "Li Heng, give me a copy of the same book. I am also from Fudan University. I have seen you play the erhu and play the ocarina."
Li Heng turned around and glanced at him, not knowing the other party, but he said so, how could he not let him go?
After all, it’s not because they are here to support themselves.
He asked for one, and the girl behind him also asked for one.
After the last two books were sold out, the staff picked up the small speaker and started shouting: "It's out of stock, "Cultural Travel" is out of stock. There's no need to queue up. You can go to Xinhua Bookstore elsewhere to check it out."
Hearing this, the team suddenly burst into noises, and someone asked at the top of his voice: "When will there be a book?"
The staff explained: "I have already gone to pick up the goods, but I have to wait at least 1 hour."
After all, they are all in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the distance is not far. Even if the stock is out of stock, you can buy the goods immediately with cash.
If you put it in other cities, then you can only wait until the next batch of books are allocated.
Neither of the two friends bought books, but they came, so they chose to continue waiting.
After chatting with the president of the Student Union, Li Heng followed the four girls back to Lushan Village.
On the way, the four girls were very grateful that if they went one step late this morning, they would have to wait another hour.
As soon as I got into the alley, before I could enter the house, I saw Teacher Yu open the gate of the courtyard and say to Li Heng: "You have a phone number."
Oh! He actually spoke today?
If I had put it before, my cold eyes would sweep him like lightning, and then I turned around and entered the house, the interval would never exceed one second without any stop.
Li Heng asked: "Teacher, who is looking for me?"
Yu Shuheng's words are Rujin: "Editor Liao."
Upon hearing this, Li Heng had basically guessed what it was like to call him.
He handed the book to Mai Xu, "You take them in first, I'll call."
The wheat ears said yes.
One in front and one behind, the two entered the house and went up to the second floor. Yu Shuheng asked, "Come to Xinhua Bookstore?"
Li Heng replied: "Yes."
Yu Shuheng turned around and looked at him, and asked again: "Coffee? Or tea?"
Li Heng was surprised. The teacher was in a good mood today. I have been here so many times. Is this the first time I took the initiative to ask myself what to drink?
He was indifferent for almost a semester and suddenly cared for him. While he was a little flattered, he was still a little unsure. He was not going to be making any more moths, right?
To be honest, he couldn't stand the teacher Yu who switched from time to time in front of him.
Thoughts passed quickly, and he said with a vain thought: "Coffee and sugar, thank you."
When he came to the sofa, he sat down. Li Heng ignored her and picked up the receiver and started dialing.
"Dingling..."
"Dingling..."
Not long after, the phone was heard, and Editor Liao's voice came from there.
"Is Li Heng?"
"Uncle Liao, it's me. Are you asking me for something?"
Editor-in-chief Liao said with joy, congratulations: "It's something, but a good thing. "Cultural Travel" sold 200,000 copies in two hours after it was launched. This is an unprecedented feat! Congratulations!"
Then the other party added: "By the way, Mr. Ba was very happy after hearing the first batch of new books sold out. He asked me to tell you something: You are amazing!"
Li Heng happily said thank you twice.
Yu Shuheng was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, standing behind him and looking at his side face. He listened to his pleasant conversation with Editor Liao, and felt inexplicably peaceful.
After a while, she put the coffee in front of him and put three candies in it for the first time.
There are no more or less, just three candies, which are exactly the amount Li Heng had when he drank coffee last time.
Then, she also made a cup of coffee for herself, sat upright across from him gracefully, staring at him quietly, and listening to him calling.
Editor-in-chief Liao said on the phone: "It sold very well today, and the market response was very warm, much better than what I and the magazine thought.
Just now, we received messages from all over the country and were sold out. Beijing and Yangcheng were even out of stock before 9 a.m. According to the feedback from Xinhua Bookstore there, many people were still waiting in line.
Li Heng, your fame is now at its peak, and TV stations everywhere are following up and interviewing this. This is a phenomenal event and a great feat! You have created a miracle!"
Editor-in-chief Liao, who said this, seemed to have returned to his youth, returned to his 30s, and was full of heroism! He was very excited!
What a miracle, a miracle!
Didn’t you say you were ready?
His mother was sold out of stock, and even the Xinhua Bookstore in the Shanghai Stock Exchange was out of stock, which was all money!
A lot of money!
If you make such a struggle, you will be robbed of the market by pirated books.
Li Heng was very anxious and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Liao, didn't he say that the reserves were sufficient? Why did he lose stock so quickly?"
Editor-in-chief Liao smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect it to be so popular!
But don't worry, we have printed 500,000 copies long ago, and have been distributed throughout the country. We can go to various bookstores at 12 noon at the latest."
Li Heng asked: "Just 500,000 copies? Is there any printing?"
Editor-in-chief Liao seemed to guess what he thought: "It's printing! It's printing! According to the new round of bookings for Xinhua Bookstores across the country, it is currently planned to add printing for the second time, and the number is still 500,000 copies.
Just now, just when you called, the 43,000 copies printed were already snatched away by major Xinhua stores in Shanghai in cash."
50 plus 500,000, plus 200,000 that have been sold, a total of 1.2 million copies will be 1.2 million copies!
Li Henggang's eagerness suddenly relieved a lot, but he still felt the ecstasy:
"I am such an angry writer. Uncle Liao, you must believe me. Show some courage and print 2 million copies directly, which will definitely be sold."
Editor-in-chief Liao covered the receiver and said to Mr. Ba: "Teacher, have you heard it? This kid has begun to swell."
Mr. Ba smiled and said, "He is feeling sorry for money."
Editor-in-chief Liao had had many dealings with Li Heng, and he agreed, "It's not just for money, otherwise he wouldn't even poke him with a stick."
Editor-in-chief Liao explained to him: "Li Heng, I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu. According to the current trend, maybe 2 million copies are not a dream.
But you may not understand this industry very well. Now the book distribution channels of major publishing houses are very single, and only Xinhua Bookstore. Before we make any printing decisions, we must determine according to the needs of all parts of the country, otherwise we will smash ourselves into our hands...."
Fearing that he would be resentful, Editor-in-Chief Liao patiently told him a lot about the sales operation logic behind the books. Li Heng didn't have a temper after hearing this.
There is no way, the current system is like this. All the rules and regulations are dead, and the power is concentrated in the hands of a single institution. It is impossible to bloom more and sell flexibly like in later generations.
After chatting on this phone for a long time, although Li Heng was a little helpless, he was generally quite comfortable.
After all, "Cultural Journey" is selling well!
Every minute and every second is making money for yourself! Make fame! Make reputation!
Can you feel uncomfortable?
Putting down the earpiece, Li Heng couldn't help but pick up the coffee and took a big sip like water. Well! The taste is good, it's slightly bitter in sweetness, and it feels quite layered in the mouth.
After looking at his coffee, Yu Shuheng took out two air tickets from his bag and handed them to him:
"We have to set off before dawn tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning. You and Shihe get up early."
"Okay, thank you teacher."
Li Heng took the air ticket, took a closer look, and asked, "How much is it?"
Yu Shuheng didn't ask him for money, pondered for a few seconds and said, "Leave one for your second bedroom, and there are some delicious foods. Remember to call me.
Li Heng was speechless. Why did he feel like he was in trouble? He could not even get rid of it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, she asked, "What? Don't you?"
Li Heng tried to say: "Teacher, it is not good for a lonely man and a widow to live in a house, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings in life. I am willing to pay.
After staring at him for a while, Yu Shuheng reached out and said, "I won't go back to me with the air ticket."
Li Heng's eyelids twitched, "Don't, don't! Do you do this damage your image in my mind?"
Yu Shuheng asked: "What is my image in your mind?"
