In the capital, at the headquarters of the Web company.
"What's going on?"
In the president's office, a middle-aged man angrily pounded the table and questioned several people standing in the office, "Is this the strength of our company? How could our company's website be shut down because of a book? What the hell is going on? Tell me clearly! "
In an instant, the whole conference room was silent.
Everyone had a wry smile on their faces.
Who would have thought that Fang Qiu's appeal was so strong!
The person in charge of the project stood up with a wry smile and said, "It's true. Because there are too many people pouring into the reservation page. Of course, not all the people who enter the reservation page are here to buy books. There must be a lot of curious people who click into the page to watch. After all, Fang Qiu has been too popular this year. He has made three big news in the past two days. Naturally, there are more people who are interested in his book. This is our serious underestimation. It's our mistake! "
"Humph."
Hearing this explanation, the president snorted and said angrily, "Hurry up and fix it. This is too shameful!"
"Sure. Now it's under emergency repair. It will be ready soon."
The person in charge quickly promised.
After that, the meeting was dismissed.
Not long after.
The web page was repaired.
For this reservation, the person in charge of the project even set up two servers for the reservation page to stabilize.
After the repair was completed.
Naturally, the reservation page was restored to its original state.
All the people who were waiting began to make reservations.
Over there.
The young man, who was both a fan of Fang Qiu and a Chinese Medicine lover, refreshed the page and found that it was loaded. He immediately clicked to place an order.
The order was completed.
“100001？”
Seeing his order number, the young man couldn't help but be surprised. He said, "It's really popular. It has just been refreshed and it has exceeded 100,000. It deserves to be my idol's book."
A Chinese Medicine school.
Receiving the notice that the page was repaired, the student immediately refreshed the page. When he was about to make a reservation, he found that there was no button for reservation on the website. Instead, there were two big words: Sold out.
He took a closer look.
It was clearly written on the page: The first batch of 500,000 books were all sold out!
Seeing this line of big words.
The student was immediately angry.
"Damn it. I could have grabbed it. What kind of Web is this? It can't even grab a reservation. It's so rubbish."
Not only this student.
On the Internet, many people who didn't manage to make a reservation began to complain.
"Of course it's online. Didn't you tell us in advance that it was limited? You even caused such a huge problem. We couldn't even get what we could have gotten. It's simply too disgusting! "
"How did five hundred thousand books disappear in the blink of an eye? Did you swallow it yourselves? "
"Are all your hands so fast?"
Other than ridicule, there were also people who were doubtful.
"Did anyone buy it? It can't be fake sales, right? Hunger marketing? "
In the end, they were soon slapped in the face.
The fans who got Fang Qiu's tickets began to recover one by one. Although they couldn't get all the reserved numbers one by one, there were almost all the numbers from 10,000 to 490,000.
The person who doubted him immediately fell silent.
This told them not to doubt anything about Fang Qiu.
Because it was very easy to be slapped in the face!
Looking at those people who were drying their sheets, everyone was especially envious.
At the same time,
Some people in the publishing industry who were paying attention to this matter also participated in the order as soon as possible. In the end, they found that they didn't have a reservation.
The buyer took a screenshot of the picture in shock and sent it to the WeChat group to share with everyone.
Looking at this picture.
Everyone was silent.
Before, if they guessed the presale results, it was on this screenshot. Now compared with it, it seemed a bit ironic!
After a long while.
"Miracle, who won?"
As soon as this sentence was sent.
Everyone was silent again.
Because none of them won, including the one who guessed 500,000 books and bet 20 yuan on the red envelope. Because this time the booking was carried out in less than three minutes, 500,000 books were sold out. There were still many people crying on the Internet who didn't buy it.
Obviously.
500,000 was not right.
Looking at this situation, if there were enough copies, it was obviously aiming for 600,000 or even 700,000!
In the whole group.
Everyone knew.
This time, they were severely slapped in the face.
And they were slapped in the face by a writer who was not a professional writer.
"This guy … is going to create a miracle!"
A big shot in the publishing industry said in the group.
Everyone continued to be silent.
In the capital.
Fan Culture Publishing House.
"Great, great!!!"
Seeing the words "sold out" on the booking page, Zhang Xingjie immediately jumped up from his desk in surprise. He clenched his right fist hard and shook it a few times. He was in great ecstasy and excitement.
This time, he won!
He really won. He won fair and square!
His publishing house was resurrected!
His beloved business was resurrected!
Outside.
The staff were also very excited.
They were also paying attention to the number of bookings. They didn't expect that in just three minutes, the 500,000 bookings were completely sold out.
This speed was simply unparalleled!
This was definitely a miracle in the publishing industry, and they created a miracle!
Just when Zhang Xingjie was in a state of extreme excitement.
"Du du du …"
The landline phone on the desk suddenly rang.
The phone rang.
It immediately pulled Zhang Xingjie back from his excitement.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Hello?"
Zhang Xingjie ran to the desk and picked up the phone.
"Boss Zhang."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "I'm Huang Yingnan, of course. You should also be paying attention to our pre-orders. This time, the pre-orders are really too hot. 500,000 books have been sold out in the blink of an eye. This first round of pre-sales has achieved unprecedented success!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Xingjie immediately said with a smile, "I'm also very surprised. I thought Fang Qiu's book would be popular, but I didn't expect it to be so popular!"
You didn't expect it?
I didn't expect it either!
Our website was paralyzed by him!
Huang Yingnan criticized for a while and then came back to the point.
"I'm calling you to ask if there's a second round of pre-sales?"
"Well …"
Zhang Xingjie suddenly said with a wry smile, "Boss Huang, the first batch of the first printing has been pre-sold. Now I can't even sell the physical bookstore in five days."
"Then print more. You'd be a bastard not to make money!"
Huang Yingnan immediately persuaded.
"Er …"
Zhang Xingjie frowned. He was very tempted.
He immediately began to calculate carefully.
Because this was Fang Qiu's first book and because it was a new book, the printing requirements were very high. The printing house that printed the previous six books could not complete a large number of them. Printing 500,000 books in five days was already the limit.
However.
Huang Yingnan was right.
You'd be a bastard not to make money when there was legitimate money!
Isn't it just a book?
At the worst, I'll contact a few more printing houses and spend money to print at the same time!
Thinking of this.
Zhang Xingjie no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! The second wave of pre-sales can be carried out at eight o 'clock tomorrow night. 700,000 copies. I'll have you deliver the goods on time in five days! "
"Good! Happy cooperation! "
Huang Yingnan laughed with satisfaction and said, "I'll arrange it right away!"
After that, she hung up the phone.
Here.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xingjie was not as excited as before. Instead, his face showed a dignified look. He did not dare to delay any time and immediately called everyone to a meeting.
After the meeting.
Everyone did not dare to hesitate. They immediately packed their luggage and prepared to go on a business trip to the printing houses all over the country to talk about cooperation!
…
Here.
After Fang Qiu chose the place to see patients this month, it was already 8: 10 in the evening.
Thinking that his book would start to be pre-ordered today.
Immediately, he logged into the reservation page, ready to try to pre-order to see how many people would buy it.
But the result.
As soon as he entered the reservation page, he saw the two big gray words: Sold out!
Seeing these two words.
Fang Qiu was stunned at first.
Sold out so soon?
Didn't they say that physical books were not easy to sell?
Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I seem to have done something big again!"
With a wry smile, Fang Qiu gave up the idea of pre-ordering and began to call the local Chinese Medicine Hospital where he was going to see patients.
And here.
Of course, the announcement on the website was also officially released. Weibo was also updated at the same time.
Everyone saw.
"# Fang Qiu's new book pre-sale # The first batch of 500,000 copies was sold out in three minutes. The popularity is really hot. But because the first batch of printing only has 500,000 copies, the first pre-sale is over. However, the second wave of pre-sales will officially start at eight o 'clock tomorrow night. The second batch of pre-sales will be 700,000 copies. There are less than 24 hours left. Please look forward to it! "
Seeing this announcement.
At first, everyone's reaction was not shock.
But calculation.
Calculating what?
Of course, calculating the downtime of the website!
"500,000 copies in three minutes. It sounds awesome, but what's even more awesome is that of course, the website was down for two minutes. In fact, the 500,000 books were sold out in one minute!"
"Of course, the website is really shameless. It even counted the downtime. Shameless!"
"How can an ordinary writer compare to the appeal of Fang Qiu, the guru?"
"The guru is awesome!"
"I hope that in the second round of pre-sales, the website will be more powerful and not have the problem of downtime again!"
Gradually.
Everyone also changed from scolding the website to being shocked by the speed of pre-sales.
Among them.
The most shocked.
Undoubtedly, it was the people in the publishing industry.
"500,000 copies in one minute?"
"Am I back to the publishing industry ten years ago?"
"No, even the publishing industry ten years ago, even the most popular writer at that time, can't do this!"
"It's so scary. It's like an earthquake!"
"How is it possible? In this era, how can anyone make such a result?"
"The wolf of our publishing industry is coming!"
"No, I think the catfish of the publishing industry is coming."
Of course.
Some people were shocked. Naturally, some people were pessimistic.
"Although the first round of pre-sales was really amazing, isn't it a little too arrogant to take out 700,000 copies in the second round of pre-sales when they have already sold 500,000 copies in the first round of pre-sales?"
"Yes, the pre-sales of the publishing industry are getting less and less. The first round is 500,000 copies, and the second round is 300,000 copies at most. This Complex Culture Publishing House and Dangran Network are blinded, aren't they?"
"Based on the current situation of the publishing industry, the pre-sale of 500,000 copies on the first day is purely due to everyone's curiosity about Fang Qiu's book. After the excitement is over, it will be difficult to sell another 200,000 copies. In addition to the offline physical stores, the total sales volume can reach 800,000 copies."
"Even if it sells 800,000 copies, it will still be the annual sales champion. Amazing!"
Obviously.
People in the publishing industry were not optimistic about the second round of pre-sales.
After all, they were people in this industry and were more familiar with this industry than others. Naturally, they had their own ideas and the right to speak.
