The last night of June.
When 700,000 copies of "Zhu Xian" were moved into the major warehouses of Jing'an Bookstore and the shelves of bookstores, the company went wild!
"Peidu, are you crazy?"
"You ordered 700,000 copies of Zhu Xian?"
"Don't you know how much other bookstores in Qinzhou have ordered?"
"There are less than 100,000 copies at most!"
"Others avoid it, but you treat it like a treasure?"
"You didn't get the difference in price from the Silver Blue Library, did you?"
Pei received calls from several senior executives in succession, some scolding, some questioning, and some worrying. He gave the same answer to every call: "I will be responsible if there is any problem."
Do you regret it
Still a little bit.
The reaction from the top management was more intense than Pei Du had imagined. Even his subordinates looked worried, thinking that Pei Du had been fooled by the Silver and Blue Library.
"This is a difficult time for the general manager."
"The Silver and Blue Library must have been unable to sell its books, so they packaged them and sold them to us."
“I can only pray that readers will buy more tomorrow.”
"We have 700,000 in inventory, so let's sell as many as we can."
“The more that’s left, the greater the manager’s responsibility.”
"… "
Pei Du gritted his teeth.
Now that things have come to this, there is no use regretting.
He gritted his teeth and gave three orders in a row.
The first order is that the headline of the company's official website tomorrow must be "Zhu Xian".
The second order is that starting tonight, all promotional banners of major bookstores under Jing'an Bookstore must be replaced with "Zhu Xian".
The third order was that only Zhu Xian could be placed on the front shelves of all bookstores under Jing’an Bookstore, and all other books must be placed in the second-level summer vacation positions!
Pei wants everyone who steps into Jing'an Bookstore to see "Zhu Xian" at first sight!
"good."
All you have to do is follow the instructions.
The general manager has gone crazy.
Such a big commotion at Jing'an Bookstore naturally could not be hidden from those who are more well-informed in the industry. Everyone's reaction to this shocking news was the same:
Pei is crazy!
No one knows what kind of hallucinogenic drug the Silver Blue Library gave Pei Du that allowed him to do such a big thing, simply making a joke of his position as general manager.
“Too hard.”
"Is Pei Du a fan of Chu Kuang?"
"Apart from Chu Kuang's fans, I can't think of anyone else who would have such high confidence in Zhu Xian."
"Maybe he will be fired."
"Everyone is so conservative, but he is the only one who is risking his life."
"… "
There is competition among publishing houses, and naturally there is competition among the major booksellers in Qinzhou. Seeing Jing'an Bookstore making such a big deal, many people laughed.
Even if the books cannot be sold, Jing'an Bookstore will naturally be able to survive.
It would be okay even if all the sales of 700,000 copies were lost. As one of the top chain bookstores in the country, Jing'an Bookstore would not be unable to bear even this much.
But it is still a considerable loss.
If "Zhu Xian" fails, the reputation of Jing'an Bookstore will be hit as one side gains while the other loses.
This is the scene that everyone is most happy to see.
Just wait until tomorrow!
That night, countless people were eagerly waiting for dawn.
As for Pei Du himself, he couldn't sleep the whole night and felt very nervous, but he managed to stay awake until dawn.
“It’s so uncomfortable.”
Older people are not very capable of staying up late. Pei Du is 40 years old this year. After staying up all night, he just felt a splitting headache.
After drinking a glass of water, his condition eased a little.
Should I continue sleeping
Pei Du shook his head and decided to go to the bookstore, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
…
Jing'an Bookstore is the fifth largest bookstore in Qinzhou. It has several branches in Sucheng alone. Pei Du arrived at the largest branch.
This branch has three floors.
After Pei Du arrived, he asked someone to open the door and went in to take a look around.
As expected, the people below followed his request and left all the banners to "Zhu Xian".
The bookshelves in the first row are usually recommended by bookstores, and they also contain the book "Zhu Xian".
The whole city of Sioux...
No, it should be said that in the entire Qinzhou, only Jing'an Bookstore gave "Zhu Xian" such high treatment.
"Manager, we haven't opened yet."
The staff in the bookstore gave a cautious reminder, obviously knowing what Pei would face today.
"It's all right."
Pei Du waved his hand, found a seat in a corner, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.
The people below didn't dare to say anything more and each prepared to face today's work.
An hour later.
The bookstore is officially open.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd woke Pei, who was almost asleep. He rubbed his eyes and saw that many customers had already entered.
Huh
Many customers were surprised when they walked in.
Because the entire Jing'an Bookstore, from banners to walls and even bookshelves, is all filled with "Zhu Xian", it's hard not to notice it.
Few books receive such a strong promotion.
So, a curious customer picked up "Zhu Xian" and started reading it.
Pei Du's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He stared at the customers who picked up Zhu Xian with red eyes, and there were only two words in his mind:
Buy it!
Buy it!
Buy it!
Pei Du even wanted to walk up to sell the goods, but this was not a clothing store, and if he walked up rashly, he would only scare the customers—
He did scare the customers.
A customer picked up "Zhu Xian" and started reading, and suddenly noticed a man in the corner staring at him with bloodshot eyes. He was so scared that he almost threw the book away.
"Feel sorry."
Pei Du coughed, waved his hands repeatedly to express his apology, and then looked away, but his eyes were still on these customers, and the villain in his heart never stopped roaring:
Buy it!
Buy it!
Buy it!
It's really a bit metaphysical. After the villain in Pei Du's heart roared for a while, the first customer who picked up "Zhu Xian" actually went to the front desk to pay.
Immediately following.
More and more customers picked up "Zhu Xian" to read. The bookstore's grand recommendation had quite an effect on customers.
The second one…
The third one…
The fourth one…
The fifth one…
More and more customers took Zhu Xian to the front desk to buy it, so that the sales staff at the front desk looked at each other in bewilderment:
Seems to be selling well
Is it the effect of publicity
The answer to this question came half an hour later, because two-thirds of the bookshelf where "Zhu Xian" was located had been sold, so that the upper shelves of the bookshelf were empty. This sales speed was so fast that it was almost scary!
"So hot?"
The girls at the front desk had their eyes widened. Their experience working at a bookstore front desk told them that this was definitely not just the effect of publicity!
The quality of the work determines the sales volume!
Publicity is just the icing on the cake!
Not long after, another customer appeared at the front desk. He looked a little surprised and said, holding a copy of Zhu Xian:
"Bill, please."
"Is this book interesting?" A girl at the front desk couldn't help but ask, and then the girl realized that it was inappropriate to ask such a question given her identity.
"hehe."
The customer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Is this a question?"
"Affirmative, of course."
Pei Du appeared at the front desk at some point without anyone noticing.
He smiled at the customer, then turned around and lowered his voice, roaring in a nasal voice:
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you ask someone to restock the stock?"
The girls at the front desk were stunned for a moment, then they noticed that the shelf that was originally filled with "Zhu Xian" was almost empty.
