This is just the beginning.
When the front row of shelves in the bookstore were filled with books again, less than two hours later, "Zhu Xian" was sold out again!
“Restock!”
Pei Du almost roared!
The bookstore employees were stunned.
No one expected that "Zhu Xian", which was not expected to be well received by the market, was sold out right after its release today!
"It's only been less than three hours, right?"
The employee in charge of restocking had a strange expression on his face.
It was restocked twice in less than three hours. This is the treatment only best-selling books get. Didn’t many people say that "Zhu Xian" was not good before
Is this not allowed
Then can you show me one
Just as the bookshelf was once again filled with copies of Zhu Xian, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door, almost running to Pei Du's side, and said in an urgent tone: "Manager, why don't you answer the phone?"
This person is Pei Du's secretary.
Pei Du was so focused on Zhu Xian that he didn't care whether his phone rang or not. "I didn't notice it. What's the matter?"
“It’s a hit!”
The assistant said excitedly: "Zhu Xian has become a big hit. So far, all the other branches in Su City are booming. Fortunately, you ordered 700,000 copies in one go, otherwise these branches would be out of stock now!"
"Other branches also..."
Pei Du's voice was trembling. In fact, he had roughly guessed the situation in other branches through everything that happened here, but he couldn't help but feel excited when he heard what his assistant said.
He won this bet!
The secretary keenly noticed the word "also" in Pei Du's words. He turned his head slightly and saw several customers checking out at the front desk not far away. The book in their hands was "Zhu Xian".
All the major branches are booming!
This is even more popular than "Prince of Tennis"!
He suddenly shuddered and gave Pei Du a thumbs up. A series of flattery began to sound: "Manager, you are indeed far-sighted. It turns out that you have seen through everything. No one in this world understands Zhu Xian better than you!"
"That's not what you said yesterday."
The secretary paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "So I can only be a small secretary. You are the general manager of Jing'an. Our entire company owes you an apology. It is because we are blind and cannot see the manager's far-sighted vision and grand plan!"
Pei Du subconsciously straightened his chest.
He felt as if he had eaten a piece of seedless chilled watermelon in the dog days of summer. He felt refreshed and happy all over his body. He felt that all the fatigue brought by staying up late was swept away. It seemed that he could have a good sleep tonight.
The company is losing money
Seven hundred thousand in stock
Want to bury yourself
I'm sorry, but these 700,000 copies of "Zhu Xian" are my ladder to success. Next year, no one will be able to shake my position as general manager. Don't blame me for getting mad if my year-end bonus doesn't double!
Thinking of this.
Pei Du suddenly remembered Lu Bei's classic line during the previous call: "Whoever believes in the Silver and Blue Library will win the world, and whoever believes in Chu Kuang will gain eternal life!"
This is a good sentence.
But it's mine now.
He patted the secretary's shoulder earnestly and said calmly: "Those who believe in Chu Kuang will win the world, and those who believe in me, Pei Du, will have eternal life!"
"High, really high!"
The young secretary immediately looked up to him.
Pei ignored the secretary's flattery. He suddenly became very curious and wondered what other booksellers in Qinzhou thought. It seemed that they only bought a small amount of goods. Would it be enough to sell
…
These few days at the beginning of the month are when bookstores do the best business, so all major bookstores attach great importance to it, and those big-name booksellers are gearing up to make a big splash on this day!
But they soon discovered...
Something is wrong.
Something is wrong.
It seems that more than 50% of the customers, after scanning the new books of this month when they entered the store, all chose "Zhu Xian".
"Why?"
Upon discovering this phenomenon, major booksellers all felt a little confused.
Isn’t it said that fantasy-themed works like “Zhu Xian” are hard to sell? Isn’t it said that Chu Kuang’s new book is going to flop
A book that sells so well is also called a flop
Of course, it is a good thing that books sell well. The purpose of opening a business is to make money. What books customers buy is the same for all major booksellers.
But the thing is…
There is not much stock of "Zhu Xian" in the warehouse!
What if the customer still has money in his pocket but can’t buy the book
Crash!
I don’t know which bookstore it started from, or if they all started at the same time, but all major bookstores were in an uproar!
"This book cannot be sold."
"We have sold out our copy of Zhu Xian!"
“We restocked the stock three times and it was all sold out!”
"Boss, we don't have enough copies of Zhu Xian to sell!"
"How come Zhu Xian has only sold 10,000 copies?"
"Forty thousand of the fifty thousand copies have already been sold, and it's only been the morning. What are we going to do in the afternoon?"
"Holy crap, can anyone tell me why this thing is selling so fast!"
"… "
When the stocks of Zhu Xian in major bookstores ran out, all booksellers except Jing'an Bookstore were stunned.
A good cook cannot cook without rice!
For these booksellers, the cruelest thing in the world is that they have too many books and cannot sell them all.
What is even more cruel is the scene before our eyes.
The customer still has money in his pocket, but the book is gone!
"It's okay. Other stores are out of stock too."
Some leaders tried to comfort the heads of major branches in this way.
This is how we usually comfort ourselves. Booksellers always misjudge the sales of a book, and then they just compete to see who can get the stock faster.
To this.
The head of a branch bookstore had to remind his boss: "The Jing'an Bookstore next door has received 700,000 copies of Zhu Xian. We are really out of stock here, but their supply is still sufficient."
lead:"… "
This is equivalent to reminding the decision-makers of major booksellers that the problem is not that "Zhu Xian" is selling well, but that we purchased too little stock in the first place!
But brother, do I need you to remind me
Who the hell doesn’t know that Jing’an Bookstore seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and ordered 700,000 copies of “Zhu Xian” in one go
We just laughed at their manager last night!
At this moment, the Qinzhou book community is in mourning!
A major bookseller angrily criticized him: "Whoever said before that Zhu Xian was a fairy-tale novel and would fail, please stand up now and I promise I will beat him to death!"
“I only got 50,000 copies!”
"I only got 30,000 copies."
"So if I get 10,000 copies, do I have to kill myself by hitting myself with a piece of tofu?"
"Well, I bought 5,000 copies."
“Hahahahahahahaha… you’re so miserable… I’m really getting old… how come I started crying while laughing…”
"… "
A group of peers in the book circle.
Major booksellers have started a competition to see who is more miserable.
At this time, Pei Du suddenly appeared in the group chat with the avatar of Jing'an Bookstore: "We at Jing'an have only ordered 700,000 copies, and I don't think it will be enough to sell."
That’s right, just showing off!
Pei Du stared at the phone screen expectantly, and then he saw this system prompt:
You have been removed from the group chat.
