Chapter 312

Li Qingxian rubbed his hands and said happily: "Okay, I won't eat more breakfast. I'll just wait for the delicious food you make for me, Sister Fei."

After making a few jokes, Li Qingxian put on his clothes, tidied himself up simply, and went out to prepare breakfast for himself.

There is a bookstore near the steamed bun shop.

Li Qingxian thought about it and decided that she was free anyway, so she ate breakfast while walking towards the bookstore.

Just wait and see.

Although it is the release date of his new book, he is not in a hurry.

After all, even if "The Fortress Besieged" is not the worst, it is definitely not too bad.

However, when he arrived at the bookstore, he was stunned.

Surprisingly, there weren't many people in the bookstore.

"Sir, is this copy of Fortress Besieged for sale?"

The shop owner looked up and pursed his lips at him: "You can choose from the bookshelf over there."

Li Qingxian walked closer and saw that the bookshelf of "Fortress Besieged" was full of books, but in the end only a few were sold out.

He took one and went to the counter to complete the formalities.

"Manager, what about the sales of Fortress Besieged?" Li Qingxian asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The shop owner looked at the barcode and said, "This magazine only has advertising. The slogan is good, but whether it can sell well depends on the content inside."

While paying, Li Qingxian asked, "Manager, what do you think of Fortress Besieged?"

"Haha." The shop owner looked at Li Qingxian paying the bill, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and the worries in his heart immediately disappeared:

"I've never been there. No one would like such a novel."

"You see, other bookstores are scrambling to buy books, but I ordered fifty copies."

"Those bookstore owners who were busy stockpiling goods are probably going to regret it now."

"Okay, I understand." Li Qingxian nodded and left.

He stared at the book in his hands, looking confused.

Why are the first-day sales of "The Fortress Besieged" so bad?

Or is this the only bookstore that has this situation?
What about other shops?
October 11th.

Sanjiang Literature Museum.

After receiving sales data from various bookstores.

Editor-in-chief Yin Pingqing and other editors all looked very unhappy.

Everyone gathered in a conference room and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Oh, I don't know. More than 40,000 people ordered a copy, but only a few bought it."

"This is simply cheating!"

"I had thought that we would sell more than 30,000 copies on the first day, but today we only sold less than 10,000."

Yes.

After the all-day sale on October 10th.

The sales volume of "The Fortress Besieged" on that day was 6,791 copies.

However, as a novice, it is quite good to have such performance.

However, this is still far from what they expected.

Yin Pingqing looked helpless, sighed, and said, "This time, I was wrong."

The other editors also shook their heads.

"It's no wonder, there are so many appointments available."

“Maybe our slogan is catchy, but not many people really noticed it.”

"I see. A rookie is a rookie. If you want to continue to cooperate with me, you must discuss the profit distribution."

“If sales aren’t good, should we stop printing?”

Yin Pingqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"But even if I tell you now, it's too late. There are only 10,000 copies, and they will all be sold out in two months."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

After all, there are only more than 10,000 copies, so it won’t have much impact on them.

……

Liu Yifei received a call from the newspaper at around four o'clock.

When Liu Yifei learned about the sales data of "The Fortress Besieged" yesterday, he was also a little surprised.

She is not a professional publisher.

When he heard that it was sold for 6000 yuan, he was excited.

However, when he heard what Yin Pingqing meant from her voice.

Only then did she realize that her sales were not very good.

During dinner in the evening, she talked about this with Li Qingxian.

Li Qingxian didn't seem to care. "6000 is 6000. I can only write honestly and calm myself down."

Liu Yifei felt relieved when she saw Li Qingxian was so calm.

“If we sell 6000 copies a day, we can sell at least 5 copies in a month.”

"Including our profits, it should be over 100,000."

Li Qingxian glanced at Liu Yifei and suddenly said, "Sister Fei, I stayed here for a while today just to fill my stomach."

"You're with me all day, and you don't have any work. Aren't you afraid of spending all your money?"

He was aware of how good Liu Yifei was to him.

However, he really didn't want Liu Yifei's future to be affected.

It would be great if Liu Yifei could come back and be her agent.

With her around, Cui Xin wouldn't cause trouble for her.

Liu Yifei said calmly: "I saved some money when I was working before, it should be enough for now."

Li Qingxian asked again: "What should we do next?"

"You'd better focus on yourself." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Even if you sleep on the street, I won't starve to death."

……

October 14th.

Fortune Building.

The horse merchant was a wealthy businessman. When he came back, he found his children studying in the hall.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

This guy, instead of playing games in his bedroom, is actually studying?
But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without a doubt, it was watching some anime.

Ma Shang had already made plans to teach his child a lesson.

Every day, apart from playing on the computer, I watch anime. I spend the whole day playing.

If he really became a useless person, how could he inherit the family business?

But this time, he decided to take a different approach.

He came up behind his son, rubbed his head and said, “What are you reading?
"Dad, you're home." Ma Xiaoshang raised his head.

"Yes." Ma Shang nodded kindly. "Xiao Shang, I'll tell you."

But the book he sold, Fortress Besieged, was pretty good.”

“Uh…” “Fortress Besieged?” Ma Shang was stunned.

"Yes." Nodding. Ma Xiaoshang raised the book in his hand and said, "This is a very popular novel. I was planning to save it, but once I opened it, I couldn't stop reading it."

Hearing this, Ma Shang showed a strange look on his face.

He has also seen "The Fortress Besieged" in some areas.

At the beginning, it was the advertising slogan of "Fortress Besieged" that left a deep impression on him.

However, when he found out that the author of the article was not someone he knew, he didn't think much about it.

He usually chooses works by his favorite writers.

"Then Fortress Besieged should be a purely literary novel, right?"

"Yes." Ma Xiaoshang nodded.

Ma Shang was stunned: "You also read pure literature? You haven't read the books I gave you before."

“Haha~” Ma Xiaoshang looked embarrassed, “Dad, this Fortress Besieged is not a good thing! If you don’t believe it, you can go and have a look.”

Ma Shang put the book away and said, "Okay, I'll go back and study it."

At this moment, Ma Xiaoshang suddenly said, "Hey! Dad, don't leave. How can I watch it if you take it away? I'll watch it with you!"

Watch it with me?
Ma Shang felt more and more that this naughty kid was weird.

In the past, this guy always felt uncomfortable whenever he was with him.

And this time, he was invited?

He thought that this was a good idea.

This is a good opportunity to bring the two closer together.

He took off his backpack and coat, then sat down on the couch next to him. "Okay, I'll read it with you, but since you've already finished it, I'll start from the beginning."

Ma Xiaoshang chuckled, "It's okay, I'll just check it again, there won't be any problem.

laugh!
Hearing this, Ma Shang let out a breath of cold air!
This guy actually wants to read the same book a second time!

You know, when Ma Xiaoshang was in school, he even forgot about comics.

Whether it is film and television works or animation works.

Normally, he wouldn't be interested.

However, he started reading "The Fortress Besieged" willingly!
The horse merchant's curiosity was immediately aroused.

The father and son didn't say much, they just opened the book and started reading.

……

More than five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Night comes quietly.

Ma Shang has been attracted by "The Fortress Besieged".

This time, he was really convinced!

To the point that he even had the urge to go to the bathroom.

Unfortunately, Ma Xiaoshang didn't allow him to sneak out of the bathroom.

So the father and son had to walk together, one waiting in line, one peeing, and the other reading a book.

This was something the horse dealer had never thought of.

Most relationships fail, either because of boredom with their partners or because of the pain of not getting married.

Late at night.

The horse dealer sat there without raising his head, his head resting on his hands.

These are the only words in my mind.

After a while, he sighed:
“How on earth did this writer come up with this?”

He is a wealthy businessman.

Since his successful career, he has read many books.

He has read all these books.

However, none of them would keep him awake at night.

The next morning.

The horse seller asked his secretary to bring back a copy of "The Fortress Besieged" for him.

You can't always peek in on it.

More importantly, you can only feel that feeling when you are alone.

Before that, Ye Zichen opened the chat group of a wealthy man.

"Ah."

"Fortress Besieged is quite popular now. You can go and read it. I highly recommend it."

He himself doesn't know.

Because of his simple promotion, the popularity of "The Fortress Besieged" suddenly increased.

……

In a luxurious villa.

Yang Lei, the Chinese billionaire ranked 8th, saw the message at a glance.

In their circle, many people like to read.

However, not many people love reading like him.

Therefore, any book recommended by Mr. Ma is worth the money.

So Yang Lei made a prompt decision and asked his assistant to help him shoot "Fortress Besieged".

But when I took a look, I was stunned.

Then he entered a state of ecstasy.

It was not until dinner time that Angelet slowly came to his senses.

"Marriage doesn't require great affection, as long as you like each other, that's enough."

Yang Lei laughed and shook his head.

In fact, not all marriages are based on passionate love.

Sometimes, an ordinary life is the most perfect marriage.

Even Yang Lei, who is worth tens of billions, found it hard to believe.

This book mentions exactly this point.

In addition, there are many sharp words in it that make people shake their heads.

At this moment, his curiosity was aroused.

Who exactly is Elder Qian?

……

The top floor of the building.

By the huge floor-to-ceiling window, businessman Shen Wen was reading a book.

At this time, the assistant walked into his office.

Seeing Shen Wen reading a book, she silently put her hand down.

He waited silently.

Shen Wen put away the book in his hand, stretched his muscles, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Shen, the book you are looking for is here."

"Hey! Okay, just put it here."

"If you have nothing else to do, I won't bother you anymore."

"it is good."

After he leaves.

Shen Wen picked up a volume of "Fortress Besieged" from the table.

He smiled and said, "Since it was recommended by Lao Ma, I would like to know what this book is all about."

The next second, Shen Wen leaned back on the chair and flipped through the book slowly.

But soon, he was hooked.

"If you don't look closely at an ugly person, it's cruel. If you want to punish him, it would be too cruel."

"A truly smart woman never strives to be a genius girl, she just tries to be smart. Well said."

“A person wants to know his own secrets, but cannot let others know, and can only wait for others to guess. This is human vanity.”

The further Shen Wen went, the more he felt something was wrong.

It’s indeed not an ordinary thing!

So, he decided to log in to his social account and add it to his book list.

There’s even a brief introduction.

"The Fortress Besieged": A classic of romance novels. If you don't read it, it will be a lifelong regret.

……

Beijing Poetry Society.

Liao Tingzuo was unaware of the news that Li Qingxian had just released a new work.

They would also not have thought that Mr. Qian was the author of "Fortress Besieged", that is, He Yi.

During this period, Mr. Shen, whom he often paid attention to, suddenly posted a new list of books on his Weibo.

"Fortress Besieged: A classic among pure romance novels. It would be a shame not to read it. How could Old Shen praise this novel so highly?"

Liao Tingzuo was slightly stunned.

Of course he had heard of "The Fortress Besieged".

“Marriage is like a fortress. Those who live outside must come in, and those who live inside must leave.”

Therefore, he had a deep impression of Tang Wulin.

But most of the scholars look down on each other.

Unless a book is published by someone familiar, most people will not buy it immediately.

But since Lao Shen said it, it must be true.

It would be arrogant of him not to go and have a look.

So, he decided to buy the book first.

But when he got the book and saw the news, the WeChat group of the Beijing Poetry Association was immediately in an uproar!
Liao Tingzuo tagged everyone: "I strongly recommend Fortress Besieged. If I don't buy this book, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Seeing this scene, the whole group was in an uproar.

"What's going on? Isn't this a recommendation?"

"I saw it once in that book. It had a good ad."

"I wanted to buy a copy, but I found that not many people bought it, so I gave up."

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

"Is it that magical?"

There are still people chatting.

Some people actually went out to see it.

Several hours passed.

At this time, everyone in the group appeared.

"Oh my god! The novel "Fortress Besieged" is so amazing!"

"This Elder Qian should be a literary master, right?"

"That's so funny, I almost forgot to eat."

"I bought two copies before and gave one to my child, but the child has stopped playing games recently and has been playing with books all day."

Done.

This made those students who had not read books even more curious.

Is it that beautiful?

Then, some students started buying books.

So, within two days, the members of the Beijing Poetry Society were completely attracted by the mysterious Elder Qian.

Zou Jiafeng is naturally no exception.

……

He is a member of the Beijing Poetry Society.

Li Qingxian is of course also aware of this issue.

I saw a large number of people praising "The Fortress Besieged".

He is the greatest writer of our time, the greatest literary figure, the greatest Luda, and so on.

He felt a little proud.

"It's not bad, it's not as good as you say."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

He suddenly remembered something.

not good!

He actually forgot that his group friends haven't discovered the novel he wrote yet!
Without knowing the truth, this sounds a bit arrogant.

indeed.

When Zou Jiafeng saw this scene, he stepped forward first.

Zou Jiafeng: "You think this is something you like? Have you never read a book? Do you have any education at all?"

He is talking about one thing, do you know it?

Li Qingxian burst out laughing.

Originally, he didn't like Zou Jiafeng, but now it seems that there are some troubles.

But this time, he stepped forward to protect him.

He couldn't help but find that this Zou Jiafeng was quite cute.

After a brief thought, he decided to send a message.

But Zou Jiafeng got there before him and took a screenshot of the photo.

Zou Jiafeng: "Young people nowadays should not be so reckless. You know, don't you like to write poetry? My suggestion is that you should learn from this photo."

Li Qingxian clicked on it and saw a strange expression on his face.

This photo was posted by Zou Jiafeng on his Weibo.

This Weibo post is a very popular discussion about a generation recently.

Li Qingxian also saw it by accident while browsing his Weibo.

But at that time, he didn't take it to heart.

It turns out that Zoujiafeng is that big mountain!

Isn't this incredible?

How could it be such a coincidence?

He smiled and said, "Well, sorry, I'm the author of "A Generation", my name is Gu Cheng."

"No matter what, I have to thank Mr. Zou for having such high expectations of me."

“……”Li Zhengwen was speechless.

“……”Lu Qiugui was speechless.

“……” Zhong Xiaolun was speechless.

“……”Lu Ling.

“…” Zou Jiafeng was speechless.

A moment.

Zou Jiafeng took back a message that read:

Zou Jiafeng took back a message that read:

Zou Jiafeng took back a message that read:

opposite.

Zou Jiafeng’s face was about to explode with anger.

This is so damn embarrassing!
I have been advising Li Qingxian to learn the poems written by others.

After all the twists and turns, it turns out that he was the one who did it?
If he said it to his face, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.

He immediately sent a private message to Chairman Liao.

Upon asking around, I found out that it was indeed the case.

Zou Jiafeng didn't speak for a long time.

He said again in the chat box: "One poem cannot explain the problem. You said that Fortress Besieged is very ordinary, so can you make something like Fortress Besieged?"

"Boy, don't be so arrogant as to think you are a frog in a well." He didn't mean to make things difficult for Li Qingxian.

It’s just that last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was humiliated.

As an elder, he must save face.

Simply put, it's just finding an excuse.

But at this moment.

Li Qingxian: "Well, I'm sorry, I'm the author of Fortress Besieged."

“……”Li Zhengwen was speechless.

“???” Lu Qiugui was stunned.

“……” Zhong Xiaolun was speechless.

"What the hell?"

Zou Jiafeng: "..." "Are you kidding me, @#...ap;"

For a moment, everyone was excited.

Even Liao Tingzuo was stunned when he heard the news.

Liao Tingzuo: "Is this your work? Your name is Elder Qian? [@李清贤]: ??

Li Qingxian responded: "Yes, yes, it's me!"

Liao Tingzuo: "Aren't you also an artist? Are celebrities just bored? How can you have time to write a novel?"

Li Qingxian: "What else can I do? I was banned by the company and forced to write to make money."

Suddenly, everyone was sighing.

In order to make a living, I have to write novels.

Can we still make "Fortress Besieged"?

Have a look.

what are you talking about?!

Fortunately, these people are not professionals.

Otherwise, he might have a heart attack.

Zhong Hua: "Haha, no wonder such a great writer suddenly appeared. I didn't expect that he was from our poetry society."

Li Zhengwen: "Great, great."

Lu Ling: "He's not a big shot, he's a rich man!"

Zou Jiafeng felt unwell.

He really couldn't understand.

What exactly does Li Qingxian want to do?
If you created "A Generation", that would be fine.

When did Fortress Besieged become your work?

At least, you did these two things.

But can you use your own pen name?
Ok?
May I? !

One is Gu Cheng and the other is Elder Qian.

But now, he has figured it out.

He really can't afford to offend.

Not only can he sing, but he can also write poetry.

I can write even now.

He is a man who knows everything!
"Ah, it's true that the Yangtze River is replaced by the new generation, the old generation by the new generation..."

……

The original author of "Fortress Besieged" has been discovered by people from the Beijing Poetry Society.

A lot of people are advertising this thing.

Being able to join the Beijing Poetry Association is also a great thing.

He must have a wide network of contacts.

The entire literary world is almost occupied by the two big words "Fortress Besieged".

The same reason.

The entire wealthy circle was in an uproar over "The Fortress Besieged".

Anyone with a little money will share their thoughts on "The Fortress Besieged" with everyone.

then
"Oh, have you seen Fortress Besieged?"

"Haha, that's for sure. Is there anyone who doesn't know "Fortress Besieged"?"

"That's a terrible review. I bet you've only seen it once. I've seen it three times."

"Watched it three times? I've watched it five times."

Although some people are rich, they don’t know "The Fortress Besieged".

Then he would quietly leave and go get "The Fortress Besieged" to read.

……

October 18th.

Nine days after the release of "The Fortress Besieged".

Sanjiang Literature and Art Society.

Zhao Zhongwen, who was in charge of the issuance department, hurried to the director's office, his face full of anxiety.

"President! What's going on?!"

"Huh?" He was slightly startled.

"What's wrong?" Yin Pingqing was stunned.

The head of the distribution department came here so early today. Is there something wrong with the distribution?

Zhao Zhongwen looked anxious. "Something went wrong. We just started working, and all the big publishing houses in Beijing came to us to get supplies!"

"Purchase goods?" Yin Pingqing frowned. "Is it because one of our books is out of stock?"

At that time, the printing department will have a great responsibility.

Zhao Zhongwen nodded: "It's Fortress Besieged. They want to buy Fortress Besieged."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Yin Pingqing was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Fortress Besieged?"

"Yeah." After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Zhao Zhongwen also echoed.

Yin Pingqing looked puzzled: "Fortress Besieged has sold out? I have asked the printing department to print 10,000 more copies."

Zhao Zhongwen smiled bitterly and said, "These 10,000 books were sold out yesterday.

A look of surprise appeared on Yin Pingqing's face.

Was this sold out yesterday?

Doesn’t that mean that “Fortress Besieged” sold 60,000 copies in just eight days after its release?
But it’s only been on the market for one day, and there are only about 6,000 people who bought it?

But now, he has no time to think about these things.

He only knew one thing, that is, the book "Fortress Besieged" has been a huge success!
Still very popular!
"Tell the printing department to speed up the printing process."

"I told them, but the printing department wants you to provide an exact print quantity."

"No, it's 100,000 copies! 100,000 more!"

Zhao Zhongwen hurried to the printing department and told him about this matter.

The other editors also arrived.

"Boss, I heard that you plan to increase the volume of Fortress Besieged by 10 copies?"

"How can this be possible, President! Don't act on impulse."

"The reason why Fortress Besieged became popular so quickly is probably because everyone was imitating it."

"Once the hype is over, I'll lose all my money on this book!"

The instant success of Fortress Besieged made the editors-in-chief both surprised and happy.

However, this situation may not last long.

it is necessary.

However, increasing the number by 10,000 copies still carries great risks.

However, Yin Pingqing's face darkened: "When Fortress Besieged had 44,000 pages, I asked everyone to add another edition, but you blocked it."

"Fortress Besieged has become a hit, and I wanted to reprint it, but you stopped me."

"what?
When these words came out, all the editors panicked.

"We didn't mean that, President."

"Aren't we thinking about the newspaper?"

"The problem is that this Li Qingxian has only been here for a short time. I'm afraid I'll be tricked by him."

"Newcomer?" Liu Zhao asked after taking a look. Yin Ping said coldly, "Can you tell me who among your subordinates can do this?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Not to mention these newcomers.

Even worse than Li Qingxian.

Yin Pingqing sneered and said, "If I hadn't forced them to print an extra 100,000 copies, have you ever thought about the situation today?"

"Do you think you can prove everything with your own mind?"

"Now the sales data is right in front of us, and you still say that they are newbies."

"Do you want me to give you the position of president?"

The editors' faces flushed.

Yin Pingqing scolded him for half an hour before he angrily drove him away.

Yin Pingqing was really angry this time.

Such talents are not easy to find.

This time, she was really tricked by this group of editors.

He had already thought this through clearly.

If we only print 10,000 copies, we may not be able to sell all of them.

But would he care about the tens of thousands of books that couldn't be sold?

not at all.

What he cares most about now is his future relationship with Li Qingxian.

Now, what he has to do is to show 100% sincerity and take down Li Qingxian.

What is there to worry about in the future?
Are you still worried about not being able to publish a best-selling novel?

He glanced at it and saw that it was an editor on the publishing house's job vacancies list.

There was fatigue in his eyes.

"Well, there should be new members joining now."

……

No one expected that "The Fortress Besieged" would become such an instant hit.

Aren’t the sales very good these two days?

It became popular in just one week.

Now, all the bookstores in Beijing are out of stock.

More and more people are spending a lot of money to buy things online.

At the beginning, the price was 50 yuan per copy, and gradually increased to 5000 yuan per copy.

Even Li Qingxian was stunned when he saw this number.

A book costs 5000 yuan.

Isn’t this too rich?
But not long after, Sanjiang Literature and Art Publishing House issued an announcement.

The book "Fortress Besieged" is being reprinted at a rapid pace.

If you want to buy it, you can go to major bookstores in Beijing to make a reservation.

This quickly brought down the high price of "The Fortress Besieged" online.

However, some people have reacted.

"Why is it only BJ's?"

"It's not easy. We have to go back to the capital." Wang Yao said.

"Yes, I highly recommend that you can buy it in Qing City as well."

"He City +1..." (To be continued)

“Sichuan Province +10086…” A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yin Pingqing, who received this information, issued the order immediately.

Therefore, the Central Propaganda Department reprinted 200,000 copies of Fortress Besieged and sold them simultaneously in bookstores across the country.

After learning about this situation.

There was a chorus of applause online.

Only the editors of the magazine were not happy at all.

"Hey, is the president crazy?"

"Newbies like this are just a flash in the pan. Once the limelight is over, that's it... Alas."

"No need. The president was angry last time. Let's just wait for the result."

"We just don't want this company to lose money and our salaries to be affected."

……

It is learned that the number of additional copies of "The Fortress Besieged" has increased by 30 copies.

Liu Yifei opened her mouth wide, her face full of shock.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Li Qingxian chuckled when he heard this.

It seems that the applicability of "The Besieged City" here is far greater than that of the Blue Planet in the previous life.

Even "The Fortress Besieged" only sold 15 copies when it was released worldwide.

But he believes that 30 copies is entirely possible.

You know, in his world, there are tens of millions of copies of the book "Fortress Besieged"!
Even though it’s an electronic version, it has millions of hits!
However, I’m afraid no one has discovered it on the blue planet yet.

The real influence of "The Fortress Besieged" is obvious.

"If all these 30 copies are sold, your dividend will be almost , right?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

This 900,000 yuan is after tax.

In the end, all they could get was 800,000.

But the most important thing is.

It took less than three days for Li Qingxian to complete this work!

……

Three days passed.

The secondary sale of "The Fortress Besieged" has begun.

What surprised everyone the most was the number of pre-orders this time.

It is several times more than the first batch of people who made reservations!
As high as 580,000!

This time, Yin Pingqing was also stunned!

Even the best-selling authors at Sanjiang Bookstore are no exception.

Even before, not so many people made reservations!

According to common sense, printing 300,000 copies of the pre-ordered quantity of 580,000 would definitely not be enough.

However, it would be too dangerous to continue moving forward.

But he hesitated for only a moment before gritting his teeth and uttering two words:

"I want to print 500,000 more copies!"

The other editors looked at each other and said nothing more.

……

Another week has passed.

The second sale period of "The Fortress Besieged" has also arrived.

Not the same as the first release date.

This time, all the major bookstores in Beijing were lined with people early in the morning.

At most times, the queue was more than a hundred meters long.

Even some passers-by who don't know the truth will involuntarily stop and watch when passing by here.

"Hey, man, what are you doing in line here?"

"Hey! Fortress Besieged."

Zhang Ye: "Fortress Besieged? The one that was a big hit last time?"

"Yeah, it's very beautiful. I've seen it three times. You can go and see it too."

"Huh, you saw it so quickly? Why did you do that?"

"You know nothing. There are three kinds of good books: one is for reading, one is for collecting, and one is for preaching."

"..."

Everyone passing by was stunned.

Does this work too?
Also at this moment.

The door opened.

The second release of "The Besieged City" is finally coming!

start working.

The waitress pushed open the door, but was stunned by the darkness outside.

The next second, a large group of people rushed in.

The salesgirl was completely stunned!

How is this going?

Why do these people act like hungry wolves hunting as soon as the door is opened?
A bunch of people were pushing in noisily!

"Boss, where is the book Fortress Besieged?"

“Give me a Fortress Besieged packaging!

"And me, I want ten!"

"Hey, don't fight with me, I got it first!"

"You said you were the first, and I am the second."

"Don't argue, just do it one by one!"

The salesgirl was maintaining the situation in the backstage while feeling both angry and amused.

But the people around her seemed to be crazy, and no one obeyed her orders.

Just as she walked to the bookshelf.

I saw that all the bookshelves containing "Fortress Besieged" had been cleared out!
"What the hell? Sold out so quickly?"

"You must be kidding! I've been waiting in line for over two hours!"

"Fuck!"

"My wife said she wouldn't let me in. Is there someone who doesn't like me and wants a share?"

Seeing this scene, the store owner immediately stood up and began to control the situation.

"Please be patient! In ten minutes at most, we will have the people in the warehouse replenish the stock. Please be patient!"

Henan Province, the capital.

Xinhai Bookstore.

"Boss, I want Fortress Besieged, five volumes!

"Damn, there are only two spots per person, and there is a limit?"

"I brought my sister here, can you give me four?"

"I'm in a hurry here. How about this, I'll settle the bill and you can keep it for me."

……

Qing City.
Hongya Bookstore.

“I’m two minutes late.

"When will this long dragon, which is dozens of feet long, stop?"

"I heard that the book has been sold out."

"I'm sorry, we don't have any stock in our store. You can ask at a big store next door."

"Nonsense, I just came out of Longtou Bookstore."

……

early morning.

Bookstores everywhere are also busy scrambling to buy books!

Those who can get "The Fortress Besieged" are lucky.

Each of them was issued a license plate and posted on the social media platform.

Those who didn't get tickets for "The Fortress Besieged" were full of curses.

Some people are accusing publishers of "hunger marketing".

Some people are still cursing, why not stock up in advance?

The reporters who were originally watching the fun were now stunned.

It's just a novel, why does it have such a big reaction?

If it was more than ten years ago, maybe it could be done.

But in this high-tech age, why do so many people visit bookstores?

One copy costs 21 yuan.

But because it sold out so quickly at the beginning, these bookstores doubled the price.

But even so, there are still a large number of people buying it.

Just give it to me without even looking at it!
It's exactly eight o'clock.

This is too crazy!
This is too outrageous!
Yin Pingqing from Sanjiang Art Company was both anxious and happy!
"Come on! Hurry up and print! Print 500,000 more copies!"

He waved his hand,

At this time, the editors-in-chief who had just been persuading Yin Pingqing also fell silent.

Five hundred thousand books were sold out in two hours.

If the president really obeys their orders.

I'm afraid he even wants to kill him!

Yin Pingqing was sitting in his seat, feeling a little restless.

"Okay, that's it, all of you, follow me to the factory and help with the work!"
