Chapter 214 The idea of sealing the pen

Jiang Xiancheng already had a deep understanding of Zhang Duo's young age, so he didn't say anything more. However, the sales of Emperor Yongzheng are indeed not ideal for Wansheng Books.

The people who came to the ordering meeting were all domestic book wholesale companies. After they entered the book here, they went back and approved it to the local private bookstore. However, several novels published by Zhang Duo are basically through the channels of Xinhua Bookstore. The quantity at the order meeting is not much, and the booksellers' analysis of potential buyers of the book believe that the sales in private bookstores will not be very good, so so far, only more than 60,000 copies have been sold.

If it is for ordinary writers, this is already a very successful sales. But for Zhang Duo, this is simply a failure that can't be defeated, especially the high sales of Zhou Yuemin's new book Searching for the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely humiliating.

"Hey, Lao Li, Meng Nanxing's books, won't you go and get some?" A fat book merchant like a jar said.

"Take it, I'm going to get 200 copies of Emperor Yongzheng. How much will you get? "Old man," said another thin man.

"I'm going to take 500 copies first. Why do you take so little?"

"Hey, if it's a martial arts novel, I also want to play 8,000 copies of "Emperor Yongzheng". I heard that people who like this book are either from government agencies or from enterprises and institutions. When people buy books, they have to go to the Xinhua Bookstore that can open * and go to our small store of books, hey!"

"Ordinary people should also be willing to see it!"

"Yes, that's why I went back and have a look. If it's good, I'll replenish it!"

Jiang Xiancheng heard the conversation between two booksellers not far away and knew the reason for the sluggish sales of Emperor Yongzheng. But he also sighed a little. These booksellers are really shrewd. He didn't think about this. Those booksellers even calculated * things.

"Zhang Shao, I'm afraid the sales volume of Wansheng Books will be very unsatisfactory at the order meeting this time!" Jiang Xiancheng said quietly to Zhang Duo.

"What can that do! How much is it? We came to participate in the exhibition, just to give face to the city. In fact, as for the book Emperor Yongzheng, we have two channels: Online Bookstore and Xinhua Bookstore. Wholesale is just a number of private bookstore systems. Are you still afraid that the sales of all channels will not work? Zhang Duo asked back.

"Well, that's true. I believe that the sales of "Yongzheng Emperor" will be considerable after the unified listing the day after tomorrow! It's just that Zhou Yuemin is so rampant..." Jiang Xiancheng wants to ask, boss, aren't you angry?"

"Do you think he can be compared with me?" Zhang Duo asked with a smile.

Jiang Xiancheng really wants to say something. In his opinion, Zhang Duo created a new martial arts novel, while Zhou Yuemin created an "overhead historical martial arts novel" on the basis of Zhang Duo, all of which are amazing characters.

"Although he can't be compared with me, he is also a great person! What I just said, if I can be emperor, I will definitely make him prince, not to make fun of him, but really optimistic about him!" Zhang Duo said earnestly.

Jiang Xiancheng said sincerely, you just scold him as your son, okay? I want to laugh in my heart, but my face is not easy to show, so that the expression on my face is strange.

"The martial arts novels have been almost written by me. After writing Emperor Yongzheng, I will open two more martial arts novels, and then I will seal the pen!" Zhang Duo said with emotion.

"Oh, seal the pen!" Jiang Xiancheng unconsciously repeated a sentence, and then shouted, "Shing the pen?" Seeing that everyone around him looked at him with surprised eyes, he finally lowered his voice and said in a trembling tone, "Zhang Shao, don't joke. Are you going to write two more martial arts novels to seal the pen?"

"Yes, when there is nothing to write, it will naturally be sealed!" Zhang Duo thought to himself, I can't tell you that martial arts novels are about to go out of date. Are you going to change your vest and mix online articles?

"Zhang Shao, you are so young and have a lot of time for you to create. The early sealing of the pen is simply an immeasurable loss in the literary world!" Jiang Xiancheng said sadly.

"Uncle Jiang, as you can see that these enterprises under my name have developed well, but no matter which one, I am not in charge of it myself. When I'm older, I'll learn to cross the sea of commerce instead of burying myself in a pile of books!" Zhang Duo said proudly.

Jiang Xiancheng listened and couldn't laugh or cry. He said to himself, "Okay? In your case, these companies are all products of your tickets! However, when Zhang Duo wants to take charge of his "business empire" in the future, Jiang Xiancheng can no longer persuade him, otherwise this motive is not easy to explain.

In the exhibition hall, in addition to the employees of Wansheng Books, booksellers who came to see the goods, there are also casual employees sent by Songjiang People's Publishing House, in order to find out the sales of Wansheng books in time.

"What, Zhang Duo said that he would write two more martial arts novels and then seal the pen?" Zhu Guo stood up happily and said, looking extremely surprised.

Zhou Yuemin listened and jumped up directly from the chair, "Really? Does he actually plan to seal the pen?

"Really, when he said this to Jiang Xiancheng, I just walked around. Jiang Xiancheng was also shocked and repeated it loudly. What I heard was true." The staff of the publishing house affirmed.

"It's a good thing, Yue Min. Wang Cheng now has signs of changing his job in film and television. If Zhang Duo seals his writing again, you are a well-deserved king in the field of martial arts novels!" Zhu Guoxing said excitedly.

Zhou Yuemin is much more excited than Zhu Guoxing. He is only 19 years old this year. Becoming a best-selling author has made him a little unable to find him. Thinking that he can become the first person in martial arts novels one day, he is so excited that he almost forgets his surname.

"No, I have to fight against Zhang Duo again. If he felt that his style was outdated and withdrew from the world earlier, wouldn't I have become the king of martial arts novels one day earlier?" Zhou Yuemin thought of it in her heart.

I have to say that Yue Min's simple thinking and simple idea, he never thought that if he provoked Zhang Duo and caused the two fans to attack each other, he could bear it.

Zhou Yuemin wanted to do it, stood up and walked to the exhibition area of Wansheng Books. When Zhu Guoxing saw this, he naturally had to follow.

The exhibition area of Wansheng Books is not large, just more than 50 square meters, which can't be compared with the exhibition area of hundreds of square meters on the side of Songjiang People's Publishing. On Wansheng's side, Zhang Duo is not the only author, but the number of books published is much less than that of Songjiang People's Publishing House.

Zhou Yuemin and Zhu Guoxing passed through Wansheng's book exhibition area, came to the resting place of Zhang Duo and Jiang Xiancheng, pulled a chair and sat down and said, "Zhang Duo, why did I hear that you want to seal the pen?"

Jiang Xiancheng's face suddenly turned red. He knew that it was because he had just lost his temper and was heard by the other party's people.

Zhang Duo is a little tired. Is Zhou Yuemin a little ignorant?

"I haven't thought about anything. I don't know where you heard it. Don't you want to dominate martial arts novels?" Zhang Duo said with a sarcastic face.

Zhou Yuemin's face was instantly redder than Jiang Xiancheng's. He really thought so. It's one thing to think about, but it's another thing to be broken by Zhang Duo.

"Then I advise you to seal the pen as soon as possible and keep the name of a martial arts novel master. If you can't raise your head by my novel one day, you won't be guaranteed!" Zhou Yuemin sneered and sarcasticly.

"Are you confident? I don't know where you come from this kind of self-confidence. I don't know whether you are fearless or ignorant, or ignorant people are fearless? Zhang Duo said with a smile.

"You? Humph, the eyes of the masses are bright. Whether a book is good or not will ultimately depend on the market to test it. Now my book has sold 240,000 copies? What about yours? Not even 100,000, right? Zhou Yuemin said angrily.

Zhang Duo laughed and said, "Do you know that my books are generally sold simultaneously in Wansheng Online Mall and Xinhua Bookstore? As for the order, it will be approved to the bookseller, which is only a small part?"

"My book will also be launched in Xinhua Bookstore to see who will sell high in the first week, hum!" Zhou Yuemin was angry and turned around and walked out. She didn't want to move too fast and almost hit a young man.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Although Zhou Yuemin is arrogant and rude in front of Zhang Duo, she is still very polite when dealing with others.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I just didn't notice!" The young man opposite spoke a lame Mandarin.

"Are you?" Zhou Yuemin felt that the other party's Mandarin accent was very strange.

"Oh, I'm from Taiwan! Do you know where Mr. Zhang Duo is? I came here to find him on a special part!" The young man asked sincerely.

In front of Zhang Duo, Zhou Yuemin can't tell lies no matter how thick-skinned he is. He pointed to his back angrily and said, "Well, the boy behind me is very obscene!"

"Well, Mr. Zhang Duo is very handsome. The girls over there like Yang Kang he plays so much!" The young man said solemnly, then walked to Zhang Duo, took out a business card and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang Duo, I am Gao Xiren, the manager of the Taiwan Federation of Literary and Art Circles Book Wholesale Company. This time, I came specially to participate in the book ordering meeting in Bincheng, and I want to buy some books from Wansheng!"

Zhou Yuemin is about to walk out of the exhibition area of Wansheng Books, but when he heard Gao Xiren say this, he can't move. What he says, he wants to listen to how many books this damn Gao Xiren wants to buy!

What Zhang Duo and Gao Xiren said are all polite words. Jiang Xiancheng still needs to talk about specific business matters.

Zhou Yuemin and Zhu Guoxing stood in front of the door of the Wansheng Book Exhibition Area, trying to hear how many books Gao Xiren could buy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Duo chatted with Gao Xiren for a long time and didn't mention buying books. It's not right for Zhou Yuemin and Zhu Guoxing to leave or stay. It seemed so embarrassing to stand there in a beze!
