Chapter 549: With an Apple
"Xiaoman, how can you forget such a big thing? It's not on sale, it's been on sale for a week, and now the week's sales have come out, do you know? You're the sales champion! ”
William's voice was raised on the other end of the phone.
And after getting acquainted with it, there was still a hint of unhappiness in his tone, how could Xiao Man not be as excited as him?
Jiang Yi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't get excited, don't get excited, I've been a little busy lately, and now I know that I'm the sales champion, but William, in fact, this number is not a lot, right?" ”
Jiang Yi's calmness also affected William.
What's more, it is obviously not unsightly for him to be able to sit in a high position, and he is so excited that he only foresees that this book will become more and more popular.
Hearing this, William nodded hurriedly and said: "Xiaoman, you are right, although it is sold out this time, it is actually not a large number, because it is said to be 150,000 copies, but in fact, for risk assessment, this is the total number of printed copies of the first three volumes, that is to say, only 50,000 copies of one volume have been printed, and then scattered to major bookstores, it is certain that it will be sold short." ”
"But Xiaoman, you believe me, just now the company has notified the printing of 250,000 copies per volume, which may sound a little too much now, but it will be Christmas soon, and there will be a long holiday for all schools here on Hong Kong Island for Christmas, and the same will be true for the next Lunar New Year."
"So Xiaoman, we have scheduled the release of books 4 to 6 for Christmas, can you write the follow-up earlier?"
Don't look at William as a foreigner, but he even knows about the Lunar New Year.
He even plans to go to the mainland for the Chinese New Year this year to experience it, and it is said that the traditional New Year is very festive, which is what Secretary Li told him.
Of course, he is mainly here to urge Jiang Yi to hurry up and deliver the manuscript.
Jiang Yi also understood the reason why William was anxious, so he muttered and calculated: "You have 400,000 words in your hand now, even if you publish it according to 60,000 words, there will be no manuscript saved by Christmas." ”
"But now it's not long before Christmas, I want to think about it, in this way, three days at the latest, I will hand you another 140,000 manuscripts, plus the remaining 40,000 in your hand, it should be enough to produce three volumes, and I will finish writing it as soon as possible, and I will send it to the provincial capital as soon as the manuscript is finished, and Editor-in-Chief Lin will find a way to hand it over to you, right?"
William was very happy when he heard that Jiang Yi would deliver the manuscript quickly.
Just about how to get the manuscript over, William hesitated and said, "Xiaoman, can you come over in person and hold a signing party on Hong Kong Island?" ”
"Signing sessions?" Jiang Yi was a little surprised.
"Yes, according to the data we have collected now, after the hot sale, it has now caused a wide range of discussions, one is the theme of crossing Miss Chenghoufu, and the other is the sentence on the title page, now everyone is speculating, who said that sentence to Xiaoman, that is, who said it to you, because the author's signature is Xiaoman."
"One of the most interesting statistics in particular is that the readers who are now urging you to hold a book signing have begun to organize themselves and say that they should bring books and apples with them on the day of the signing meeting, and they must ask you that sentence in person."
Jiang Yi was really surprised this time: "You said they, they want to bring apples to the signing party?" ”
Jiang Yi was in a complicated mood for a while.
At that time, I wrote that sentence really to get the reader's attention, thinking that maybe I could help her get some clues.
