Although Fang Xingkai likes "Jieyou Grocery Store" very much, he doesn't think it can surpass "Flying Snow 2" in terms of sales. There is no way, its fan base is too big.
It's already a miracle that "Jieyou Grocery Store" can achieve its current results.
When Li Nan resolutely put "Jieyoujie Grocery Store" into a bunch of big guys' new books to compete with each other, Fang Xingkai was still worried, but later the situation turned out to be much better than he imagined.
Li Nan noticed the disbelief in Fang Xingkai's eyes. He smiled and said, "I firmly believe that it can be surpassed. It's just a matter of time. As a martial arts novel, "Flying Snow 2" will definitely not have a strong vitality. On the contrary, "Jie You"
, I think its potential has not yet been fully explored.”
Fang Xingkai didn't fully understand what Li Nan meant, "Editor Li, what do you mean?"
Li Nan leaned back and said, "Compared between the two, a book like "Flying Snow" is like a glass of ice-cold beer. It is naturally refreshing to drink it, but "Jieyou" is like water. It tastes nothing but not easy to drink.
It’s greasy, and you won’t get drunk after drinking it.”
"This metaphor..."
"Exaggerated? Let's see if my metaphor is appropriate. Time will tell. The main reason I asked you to come over is not to discuss "Jieyou" with you. How did "Ten Little Indian Boys" go?"
Fang Xingkai was a little confused. Why did the topic suddenly change?
"It's almost done. Once the book number comes down, it will be officially released early next month. The details will be decided by the editor-in-chief." Fang Xingkai said.
Li Nan smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"I think the release of new books should be postponed a little longer." Fang Xingkai said, pushing up his glasses.
"Oh? Tell me more specifically."
Fang Xingkai stood up straight and pretended to report on his work, "I have two considerations. The first is that one of Teacher Zhang's books has just been released, and the second one will come out immediately. It is a bit impatient, and it will affect
In terms of online income, the club has been developing online, and of course the electronic version has been the main focus recently. Secondly, there is more than one new book in our club recently. The competition in October was too fierce, and several books were sold to the tenth place.
If their book is released in January together with "Ten Little Indian Boys", all our previous postponements will be in vain."
Of the two points he mentioned, the most critical one is the last one.
Agitated Literature publishes more than just one book. There are also other relatively excellent books in the company. Previously, considering that the market competition in October was too fierce, in order to avoid the sharpness, I put all those books in November.
If "Ten Little Indian Boys" were released at this time, it would be like a tiger joining the flock of sheep, and other books in the society would definitely be smashed to pieces by Zhang Zhong's new book.
The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. If the other books in the club were crushed by "Ten Little Indian Boys", that's what they saw.
In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.
Li Nan nodded, "You are right. "Ten Little Indian Boys" does need to be postponed, but it doesn't need to be postponed for too long. Half a month is enough. First, arrange for other books in the club to boost sales, and then
If you release this book again, it may have unexpected effects."
"Okay, I understand."
…
After Zhang Zhong sent Pengpeng to school, he immersed himself in writing in the study room.
After writing for a while, he was about to go out to buy groceries when he suddenly received a call from Yu Jun.
Yu Jun was the first acquaintance he met after waking up, and the only old classmate he has met now.
"Hey, Zhang Zhong, how are you doing lately?"
The last time they met, Zhang Zhong was still using his cane, and Yu Jun was probably asking about his health.
Zhang Chong replied, "It's okay. I'm almost recovered. Why did you remember to call me?"
The two of them didn't know each other very well, and he hadn't contacted him since he changed his contact information last time. So Yu Jun's sudden call surprised Zhang Zhong.
Yu Jun laughed from the opposite side, "It's not possible without calling. Many classmates asked you to send messages on WeChat but you didn't reply. Why, WeChat was no longer used in the past?"
"Well, I haven't used it for a long time and haven't found it yet."
Zhang Zhong told a little lie. In fact, he had seen the news about his classmates, but he didn't really want to go back to them now. Mainly because he felt that there was a lack of opportunity, after all, he hadn't seen each other for so many years.
"Oh, that's it, let me tell you. I told them all about your discharge from the hospital, and the classmates were all happy for you. They meant that they would hold a welcome party for you in a few days to welcome you back. Our class remains
There are quite a few of them in Jiangyang, and there are other nearby cities that can also come here. I called here mainly to ask what you mean," Yu Jun said.
Welcome party? Welcome me back from Earth?
"I don't think it's necessary. Everyone is very busy. I'll wait until there is a chance for a class reunion in the future. It's not good to have a welcome party just for me."
"It's nothing bad. If you don't have any objections, I'll notify you and set the time. It's settled. I'll go to the class group to talk to them first. You should also hurry up and retrieve the previous WeChat messages.
If you can’t find it, apply for another one quickly. It’s hard to contact someone without WeChat.”
After saying that, Yu Jun hung up the phone.
Zhang Zhong switched to the WeChat page, and as expected, Yu Jun was already bubbling in the group.
Yu Jun: I just called Zhang Zhong and he agreed. Let’s discuss the time and place.
What does it mean: I’m in Jiangyang, so as long as it’s the weekend, I can do it anywhere.
Fang Cheng: I don’t have any problem, just let me know when it’s finalized.
Ji Qing: It’s okay for these two weeks, but it might not be okay after these two weeks, so try to hurry up.
…
Many people in the group have bubbled up, and since they have bubbled up, it means they want to come over.
In fact, when Zhang Zhong looked at the names of these classmates, some of them could no longer remember what their faces looked like.
He went to find his previous college graduation photos and looked at the names one by one. He had better do his homework, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing if he couldn't pronounce his names when they met.
Fortunately, he only had some vague memories, not amnesia. When he saw the photos and names, his old memories gradually came back to him.
He found Pengpeng's mother on WeChat again, but there was no reply to the messages he sent her before.
The two of them also had some friends in common, and Zhang Zhong searched for them one by one, but apart from being surprised that Zhang Zhong woke up, no one could provide any useful information.
It was as if this person had disappeared from the world.
In this era, it is not too difficult to find someone. If he were on Earth, Zhang Zhong would be confident that he would find her within a day, but Zhang Zhong does not have such connections now.
