Chapter 284 Situation Comparison
In the office of the general manager of Canghai Book Distribution Company in Qionghai Province, Chen Shanming smiled very politely on the phone. Brother Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely be there that day. Yes, yes, please give me a few more pieces. OK, I'll arrange it for you when you arrive in the capital.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shanming sighed. In fact, he prefers to go to Wansheng Books, but Huaxia People's Publishing Group accounts for half of the publishing market share. No matter how well the books published by Wansheng Books are, they are not compared with the Huaxia People's Publishing Group in terms of type and quantity.
At this time, a young girl walked behind Chen Shanming and pressed his shoulder. He said softly, "What, are you worried about the new book launch?"
Chen Shanming closed his eyes and said with a very enjoyable look, "Yes, on the one hand, it is the popular Oriental Monk, and on the other hand, it is the fairy and chivalrous masterpiece of Zhang Duo, the master of martial arts novels. However, you can only choose one of the two. It's really difficult! You said that they are the same, businessmen. The picture is to make money with harmony. If you have money, you can make money.
The girl giggled behind Chen Shanming and said, "People are either by name or for profit! Zhang Duo and Zhou Yuemin are both cultural people. How vulgar it is to talk about money! What they are fighting for now is the title of the king of popular novels. Fame and fortune, with fame, it will naturally be beneficial!"
What the girl said was true, just like the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Hong Kong in his previous life, who was told a golden letter and was inexhaustible for half his life. Although countless "fifth kings" and "little kings" appeared later, they could not be replaced.
Chen Shanming opened his eyes and smiled bitterly, "It's hard for our business people! Thinking that I can't make money, I'm angry!"
"Why don't I get rid of the fire for you!" The girl smiled softly, her charming eyes, and her hands began to swim down.
Chen Shanming opened his eyes and said with a ferocious smile, "You little prodigal hoof, pretending to be a saint in school, but you can let go when you come to me!"
The girl smiled and said, "It's not Mr. Chen that you are rich. If this person is rich, he must be rich. If the breath is thick, even under the waist is thick!"
"Damn it, I have to do it here!" Chen Shanming gasped and pulled the girl in his arms.
After that, Chen Shanming waved the girl out of the office. This girl's name is Xiaojia. She is raised by him and is still in college. She has a pure appearance and countless people. Even he can't stand the waves.
Chen Shanming has been hollowed out by wine over the years. After a war, he felt that his back waist was crisp and numb. Damn, I won't be squeezed dry by her, this little goblin is really powerful!"
Chen Shanming recalled the girl's body and thought about what she said. Rich and rich, Chen Shanming is black and fat, and his appearance is not good. If it weren't for the rich, how could so many beautiful women call him handsome? In this world, men always like to stare at beautiful women, but beautiful women stare at rich men. If men have no money, life is really much less fun.
"Damn, go to Songjiang People's Publishing House, just make a little money, not enough to fill Xiaojia's mouth! It's better to fight and have a look at Wansheng Company. If I can be a general agent, my assets will at least double!" Thinking of this, Chen Shanming was cruel and called his nephew Chen Wenyang in.
"Wen Yang, please go to the new book press conference at Songjiang People's Publishing House for me. If Zhu Guoxing asks, he will say that I had a car accident and I really can't make it." Chen Shanming is also really cruel. There are no taboos in making up lies.
Chen Wenyang is in his 20s and has never studied in college. He has been doing business with his uncle, but he has also seen the world and nodded and responded.
In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday, August 16. On the bus, a man in his thirties muttered, "Why is it so congested today? It shouldn't be on Saturday!"
"It seems that someone is going to hold a concert. My boy ran out early in the morning!" A middle-aged woman said.
"It's not a concert, but Zhang Duo's new book launch conference, which is in front of Xinhua Book City. Oh, it's about to start. I'm really late this time. I don't know if I can grab his autograph!" A student-like girl said with some regret.
"Zhang Duo, is it the descendant of Shanghai Beach? Oh, the Xu Wenqiang he played is really beautiful!" The middle-aged woman looked very excited, but the people next to her couldn't help laughing.
The girl couldn't help saying, "Auntie, Shanghai Beach is directed by Zhang Duo, and Xu Wenqiang's name is Dou Yuanli."
"Oh, there's no difference. Anyway, Zhang Duo is so powerful, right?"
"Well, that's true! Driver, please open the back door!" The girl shouted loudly.
The girl walked all the way, the closer she was to Xinhua Bookstore, the more crowded the traffic became, and both sides of the bookstore were full of vehicles from various media units. On both sides of the bookstore, banners are hanging high and colorful balls are fluttering. It is written in the middle: "2003, the world is full of immortals!"
In the bookstore, in the lobby on the first floor, there are hundreds of media personnel, holding cameras and cameras one by one, waiting for the start of the press conference. Judging from the scene alone, it can be said that it is not lively.
But in a lounge on the second floor, Jiang Xiancheng looked anxious. Zhang Shao, the situation is a little bad. There are many students and media friends outside, but the private bookseller has not come.
Zhang Duo said hatefully, "Don't ask, it's Zhao Dekang, an old man, right?"
"Yes. In terms of performance, our Wansheng Books are much better than Songjiang People's Publishing House in the past two years, but in terms of background and influence, it is not at the same level as people. After all, Jiang Xiancheng came from Songjiang People's Publishing House, but he read it thoroughly.
Zhang Duo walked around with his hands behind his back and suddenly asked, "Does private bookstores have a large share now?"
Jiang Xiancheng said with an embarrassed look, "It accounts for about 40%."
"So much?" Zhang Duo exclaimed. His main focus is on the movie. After copying the book, he doesn't know anything about it at all.
"Because of the quality and price of service, the share of state-owned bookstores led by Xinhua Bookstore in the market has declined rapidly in the past two years, and now it still accounts for about 50%. Although our Wansheng online bookstore has been popular for a while, it still accounts for less than ten points because computers have been popularized in most families!" Jiang Xiancheng introduced the market share of various channels to Zhang Duo.
"That is to say, this time we have channels that can only account for 60% at most, while the other party accounts for 90%?" Zhang Duo exclaimed.
"From the current situation, it is like this!" Under Zhang Duo's eyes, Jiang Xiancheng's heart was actually a little worried.
Zhang Duo is in a very unhappy mood now. There was a saying in his previous life, "Channel is king, terminal wins!" It is said that if you seize the most opportunities to contact with consumers, you are more likely to occupy the largest market share. The era when the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley has long passed.
The first volume of "Oriental Friars" is famous, and readers are looking forward to the second volume. But "Zhu Xian" is different. Readers don't know what it is written at all, that is, the sales volume in the first week basically rely on Zhang Duo's popularity.
But the problem is that you can't lose this time. The sales of Deer Tripod is not as much as that of Oriental Friars, and real book reviewers won't say anything. Because there is no comparison between the two. Anyone who knows a little about Zhang Duo's books knows that Zhang Duo's martial arts novels are more and more wonderful. At the beginning, it was really just for appetizing.
But this time's "Zhu Xian" is different. Everyone knows that Zhang Duo is here to meet Zhou Yuemin's challenge, just to compete with "Oriental Monk". If Zhu Xian loses, the title of the king of popular novels will be handed over to people.
Even if Zhang Duo can laugh to the end, he doesn't want to lose the data in the first week. But now Jiang Xiancheng tells him that private booksellers can account for 40% of the publishing market, but so far no private bookseller has been present. Zhang Duo really has an impulse to curse people.
At this moment, in front of the main store of Xinhua Bookstore in the capital, countless fairy and chivalrous fans gathered here, waiting for the upcoming new book launch. In the venue, media reporters from all walks of life came one after another, and private book wholesalers across the country also arrived.
Looking at this moment. Zhao Dekang couldn't hide his pride, "Guoxing and Yue Min, it seems that this time, they can teach Zhang Duo and Jiang Xiancheng a lesson!"
Zhu Guoxing quickly laughed and said, "Yes, I heard that although there are many people on Zhang Duo's side, there are only reporters, students, and book wholesalers."
"Good, good, well done! In terms of novels, Jade Dynasty is not as famous as Oriental Monks; in terms of channels, he is 30% less than us; in terms of popularity, Yue Min is not inferior. I'd like to see how they fight with us!" Zhao Dekang said in an air. After all, after Jiang Xiancheng left, he never had a breath in his heart.
Zhou Yuemin also said proudly, "Mr. Zhao said less, that is, in terms of quality, my Oriental Friar will definitely beat his Zhu Xian!"
After Zhou Yuemin finished speaking, Zhao Dekang and Zhu Guoxing did not agree, because they knew that a considerable part of Zhou Yuemin's book was popular. In terms of quality, the two of them really don't have confidence!
However, at this time, he could not grow other people's ambition to destroy his prestige and hesitated for a moment. Zhao Dekang still patted Zhou Yuemin on the shoulder and said, "Yes, in terms of quality, the Oriental Friar is really good. It may not be worse than Zhu Xian. He will definitely win this time."
Zhou Yuemin himself plays with words. How can he not hear the language sickness in Zhao Dekang's words and say in his heart, "Not necessarily? Shit, in the old guy's heart, I still think Zhang Duo is better than me. If I don't step on Zhang Duo, I will never climb up!" Zhou Yuemin was slandered, but she didn't dare to show anything on her face.
Zhao Dekang looked at the crowd downstairs and said, "Yes, Guoxing, have all the book wholesalers who sent the invitations arrived?"
"It's all here, Mr. Zhao!" Zhu Guoxing quickly replied, thought for a moment and said, "Among them, Lao Chen, who publishes Canghai Books, had a car accident. It was his nephew who came for him."
"Oh, as long as someone comes! Let's go down to the new book conference. Yue Min, the moment you dream of has arrived!" Zhao Dekang put his hand on Zhou Yuemin's back and said with a smile.
Don't mention Zhou Yuemin's excitement. He has been looking forward to such a day to completely defeat Zhang Duo in the spotlight of the media to achieve his life. Nowadays, the right time, place and people are all on his side, which is absolutely foolproof.
