After busying himself with Xi Xi's birthday, Yang Yi finally had some free time and could start preparing his new book.
Qiangzi, who received an affirmative response, was so excited that tears flowed down his face. He could not wait to apply to his bosses.
Since Yang Yi had changed the subject matter and they did not know what the content would be, the editorial department decided to carry out a small-scale publicity campaign first. For example, they would hang advertisements on the pages of Soldiers' Assault and Drawing Sword.
"On July 20th, Yang Yi will return with his new book, Yu Zui. He'll accompany you through this hot summer vacation!"
Yang Yi's new book was coming?
The fans of the two books had been looking forward to it for a long time. After the end of Drawing Sword, they had been asking for news about the new book, but they were disappointed again and again. A week later, the book review section had gradually quieted down. There was no longer the heated discussion from before.
However, loyal fans like Mu Yucheng were still unwilling to leave. They came back every day to sign in and see if Yang Yi had started a new book.
Finally, they received the news!
Suddenly, the book review section of Drawing Sword and Soldiers' Assault became lively again. After some fans spread the news, many fans gathered to discuss Yang Yi's new book.
"Yu Zui? The title of the book sounded strange. There's not even a brief introduction. Is Master Yang still writing military literature? "
"I think so! If Yang Yi doesn't write military literature, what else can he write? "
"But the name doesn't seem like the title of a military literature book. Yu Zui means the remaining crimes, the sins left behind. It sounds very dark."
"Come on, Drawing Sword doesn't seem like military literature. I thought it was a martial arts novel at first, haha!"
"That's true. It's hard for ordinary people to understand Master Yang's brain circuit."
"I'm looking forward to it anyway!"
"Looking forward to it + 1!"
"Looking forward to it + 10076!"
Mu Yucheng secretly saw the news when he was bored at work. He immediately ran to the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and made a long comment.
"Yang Dada, I don't care what you say, but can you please treat the protagonist kindly?
Xu Sanduo fell off the bridge at the beginning of the movie. We all thought he was going to die. Thankfully, he was still alive in the ending even though he broke his leg.
But when it came to Drawing Sword, Li Yunlong was such a good person! In the end, you actually let him die? Our readers' hearts were broken when we read this! Did it have to be so heart-wrenching?
Please, Yang Dada, no matter what kind of novel you write, I will support you. But really, please be kind to your main character, and please be kind to your readers! "
Mu Yucheng's book reviews were always on point, and he was quite famous in the circle of book fans. His post was immediately pushed up by many people.
"Give Old Mu a compliment and beg Yang Da not to abuse the protagonist, the heroine, and even the supporting roles, okay? Drawing Sword really made my tears run dry. "
“+1！”
“+10076！”
…
In fact, the copyright department had been in contact with Sahara Publishing all this time. They had already received the release date and news of the two physical books, Soldiers Assault and Drawing Sword. Taking advantage of the rising popularity, they also arranged for publicity.
The copyright department's power was no less than that of the editorial department. They directly posted an announcement at the top of the homepage: "Pre-sales of physical books for Soldiers Assault and Drawing Sword."
The editors of Sahara Publishing worked overtime to typeset and review the two books had been delivered to the printing plant for printing. They were expected to be officially released on August 1st!
However, it was a little difficult to distribute the goods through offline channels. After all, Sahara Publishing's influence was small, and it was impossible to break the alliances of some large publishing houses. That was also the reason why Deputy Manager Huang asked Yang Yi to consider it carefully!
At present, Sahara Publishing only obtained the sales channels of state-run bookstores and some small bookstores. Chain bookstores with wider distribution and more sales, such as Love Reading, Book Bar, Book Pavilion, and other channels, were not interested in books from a small publishing house like Sahara Publishing, let alone online novels!
Of course, Sahara Publishing's efforts were not in vain. After all, state-run bookstores were the largest chain bookstores in the country. They were available in every city and had the largest distribution channel! However, the problem was that because state-run bookstores were state-run, the price of the books they sold was often 10% more expensive than other channels. That also led many readers to choose chain bookstores such as Love Reading, Book Bar, and Book Pavilion, which were more cost-effective.
However, the advertisement Qi Yu posted was refreshing to the readers.
"Pre-sales? What does that mean? "
"Didn't they say that the offline bookstores would be open on August 1st? Why is there such a thing as pre-sales? "
After clicking on the advertisement, Qi Yu announced the two sales channels provided by Sahara Publishing. The first was, of course, on August 1st. One could go to the state-run bookstores or the bookstores on the list below to buy the books.
The second was the so-called pre-sales!
Book fans who had been looking forward to buying two physical books had already decided to grit their teeth and go to the state-run bookstores to buy the books, even if it was a little more expensive!
However, the pre-sales channel now gave them new hope!
They could buy it online, and the price was so much cheaper?
Moreover, the online pre-sales delivery time was two days earlier?
Was that for real?
If it were not for the official advertisement, the book fans would have thought that they had been cheated!
However, the Sahara Online Bookstore had a label certified by the Copyright Association, so it would not lie! The book fans began to study it curiously.
After Yang Yi's suggestion, Fu Jun got someone to beautify the Sahara Online Bookstore's web interface to make it more user-friendly. At the same time, it also simplified the registration and book purchase process for customers.
In the past, it was troublesome to buy books. They had to send money to the online bookstore through registered mail, and then tell the bookstore which books they wanted to buy by phone. They had to confirm it again and again …
After Mu Yucheng saw the advertisement, he excitedly decided to be the first batch of customers!
Anyway, the official advertisement was unlikely to lie. Even if it did, Mu Yucheng felt that his loss would not be too great. Moreover, if the operation was successful, Mu Yucheng might receive the book earlier than the book fans who went to the offline bookstore to buy it!
Mu Yucheng excitedly clicked in. He found that he could browse and choose without registration when he entered the website in the early stages. He could even use the identity of a customer to add the books he wanted to the shopping cart.
Only when he placed an order did he need to register or use an existing account to log in. Then, he filled in his personal information, delivery address, and payment account information.
However, Mu Yucheng noticed that these information could be used again after filling in once. It reduced the tedious process of repeated registration!
"Amazing!" Mu Yucheng was in the IT industry, so he quickly realized the convenience of this website.
Of course, the payment was still a little troublesome. Mu Yucheng specially made a trip to the bank.
Online payment in this world had not been developed yet, and there was no logistical support for payment on delivery. The Sahara Online Bookstore was still receiving payments through bank transfers. After the order was placed, the Sahara Online Bookstore would match the amount received and confirm the payment.
Mu Yucheng took a screenshot of the entire process, covered his personal information, and posted a post in the book review section of the two books.
"I strongly recommend buying online. I'm already waiting at home for the two books to be delivered to my doorstep! The estimated delivery time is July 31st. It's really fast in Yang Cheng, hehe! "
Mu Yucheng was condemned by many book fans for his arrogance. However, under his call, more people flooded the Sahara Online Bookstore.
There were even more people eating crabs!
…
However, it was not that there was no other movement on the Internet!
Tie Jun Net, who had been paying attention to the situation, immediately took action. Almost the next day, Tie Jun Net posted an announcement, announcing that one of their great authors, "Bullet Scar," would upload a new book on July 20th. Furthermore, starting from August 1st, there would be signing events in bookstores in eight major cities across the country. He would be competing with Yang Yi's "Yu Zui" and the two published physical books!
"Bullet Scar" was a veteran military writer, and he was also the founder of the Soldier King genre. His three completed novels had achieved good results, and even his physical books had good sales. It was said that his third completed novel had sold close to ten million physical books, and this was the sales record for a military literature published on the Tiejun Web!
Obviously, "Bullet Scar" was a strong opponent that could not be underestimated. Yang Yi's fans were also worried about Yang Yi.
However, after seeing Tie Jun Net's provocation, Qi Yue did not react at all. No, it should be said that the editorial department was secretly laughing, "This is interesting!"
