In fact, Yao Xue is right when he says "the thunder is louder and the raindrops are lighter".
Although many people on the Internet said that they would definitely support the book recommended by Zhang Zhong, they were put off when they heard that it was a philosophy book.
But even so, because Zhang Zhong's fan base is so large, these "little raindrops" are still very large in the eyes of others.
Yao Xue is very smart, and she has given full play to her nature of "not letting go of hawks when she sees rabbits". After Zhang Zhong recommended the book, she did not rush to ask the printing house to print more, but first held a pre-order event in the online bookstore.
Then he asked Cheng Yue to announce the news of the pre-order event on the official WeChat account.
After the wave of netizens watching last night, their official tweets are now much more popular than before.
Contrary to Yao Xue's expectation, in just one day, the number of pre-orders for "Silk Road" reached more than 18,000 copies.
In the book industry, selling 20,000 books a day is not a big deal.
However, it is different for "Silk Road", because this is a philosophy book, and the word "philosophy" is "daunting" to ordinary readers.
As for Zhang Zhong’s readership, there is no overlap with readers in the philosophy category, so Yao Xue was not very optimistic about it before.
But the current pre-order volume of 12,000 copies has greatly exceeded her expectations.
Zhang Zhong’s signature is still easy to use, and it’s easy to use in a mindless way. For those fans, it doesn’t matter whether the books recommended by Zhang Zhong are good or not. As long as they can read the books Zhang Zhong reads, they seem to be as good as Zhang Zhong.
The distance is a little closer.
But the matter is not over yet. In addition to online pre-orders, many booksellers have also called and said they want a book called "Thinking World". Although the purchase volume is not large, the scope is very wide.
There are many people.
Booksellers have no choice. Some bookstores heard several people want to buy this book today, but there are no bookstores.
Several people in a bookstore inquire about it, and then go to higher-level bookseller channels to request the goods.
The higher-level bookseller channel suddenly received requests for this book from many lower-level bookstores. Naturally, they thought it was a best-seller, so they contacted the publisher.
Bookstore purchasers are not like Yao Xue, who just hears several people asking about this book in one day and thinks it will be a best-seller, so even a small bookstore can
I will need dozens of copies.
All of a sudden, the order volume for "Thinking World" skyrocketed.
If you follow online pre-orders and order from various booksellers, then the publishing house will have to print at least hundreds of thousands more copies.
But Yao Xue was still cautious. She knew that those booksellers were stubborn. If they gave away too many books, they might return them in the end, so she made the decision to print another 100,000 copies.
Maybe one hundred thousand copies would be enough, Yao Xue had this idea.
After deciding on the number of copies to be printed, Yao Xue did not let go of the gimmick of Zhang Zhong recommending the book this time, and had another waistband made, with a line of large characters written on it: The literary master Zhang Zhong recommended the work.
…
On the morning of the 4th, Cao Ruixia came out of the bedroom with her mobile phone and said to Xu Wenxuan who was reading in the living room, "What's going on? The publishing house wants to print more copies of your book, and they want to print 100,000 more copies at once.
?”
Xu Wenxuan looked away from the book and looked up at Cao Ruixia, "Seal it? I don't know."
Cao Ruixia frowned, "It's a little strange."
"Perhaps the previous one has been sold out," Xu Wenxuan said.
"Even if it's sold out, it sold 10,000 copies in three years, and now it's printing an additional 100,000 copies, are you stupid or is the publisher stupid?" Cao Ruixia shook her head, still feeling that something was fishy.
"Then just reply to the message and ask what's going on." Xu Wenxuan turned his attention to the book in his hand again.
"You." Cao Ruixia gritted her teeth, "It's obviously your own business, but you don't worry about it at all."
"I'm quite concerned. Why don't you send me a message after I finish reading this paragraph? I want to get to know Mr. Zhang Zhong again. I've heard that he is a master of detective novels before, but I didn't expect him to be like this.
Traditional literature that cares about humanities. It is hard to imagine that he could write a book like "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" at such a young age, which is really impressive."
Xu Wenxuan usually doesn't pay much attention to the literary world. He may pay attention to mainstream literature sometimes, but he basically doesn't know how to read popular literature.
Zhang Zhong was very famous, but he only heard it from other people's mouths, and he heard from other people that Zhang Zhong was a detective novel writer. Xu Wenxuan had heard about the fact that he withdrew from the detective novel award before.
It was also during this period that he had close contact with Zhang Zhong twice. Xu Wenxuan became interested in Zhang Zhong's works, so he found a book online and read the reviews and introduction of "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood".
Bought it back.
This book greatly changed Xu Wenxuan's impression of Zhang Zhong.
Although he usually does not pay attention to mainstream literature and pays more attention to philosophical books, he obviously feels closer to traditional literature with humanistic care.
Seeing her husband's indifferent look, Cao Ruixia sighed, then turned and returned to the room.
She didn't send a message, but made a phone call directly.
Things soon became clear. It turned out that "Thoughts of the World" had been recommended by Zhang Zhong.
She ran out happily, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Wenxuan raised his head and said with a smile, "Why, let's ask clearly."
Seeing Xu Wenxuan's expression, Cao Ruixia suddenly had some bad taste and said, "I asked clearly, I said it was a mistake."
"Oh." Xu Wenxuan nodded and started reading the book again.
"Aren't you disappointed?"
"Disappointment? That's something you only get if you have hope." Xu Wenxuan said with a profound look, "Look at me, I don't even have hope, so how can I be disappointed."
Cao Ruixia curled her lips and said, "I just thought you were making fun of me. That's right, they want to print 100,000 more copies. Do you know why? Your book was recommended by Zhang Zhong, which is what you are reading now.
The author of "Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood" is the person you visited the day before yesterday."
"Is it him?" Xu Wenxuan became interested, "He recommended my book?"
"Yes." Cao Ruixia nodded, "But how did he know that you had written a book? You didn't mean to come in front of others and recommend yourself."
"Can I do that?"
"Indeed, you are very noble."
"This is not arrogance, this is keeping oneself clean."
"Don't they all mean the same thing? Then how did he know that you wrote a book?"
Xu Wenxuan gave an overview of the situation at that time. After hearing this, Cao Ruixia sighed with emotion, "Zhang Zhong is also a warm-hearted person."
