1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 667 A Little Irrational
Cheng Zaochun was taken aback by his words, what kind of joke are you doing?How much will that cost?
"Is our Guowen Society short of money now?" Lin Weimin asked straight to the soul.

Cheng Zaochun was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "It's been a good few years, you can't be extravagant when you spend money."

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. I'm talking about you." Lin Weimin accused.

When I participated in the signing ceremony of the first batch of writers of Buhuo Books yesterday, I was so grinning, but when it came time to pay, I immediately retracted.

Cheng Zaochun was not angry either, "Just think of a way from one aspect."

"Old Cheng, you have to look at things from the perspective of development. Buhuo Books is going to make a big effort this year. At least six or seven books will be published this year. We have made such a big battle. The sales volume of 300 million copies is always the same. have to.

"Spirited Away" has been published for two months now, and it will soon sell 300 million copies. This is not my own book. I am boasting. After a year, 800 million copies will definitely be sold, right?
The development momentum of Tongwen News Agency is just right, and they are going to create another "Red Bean".

The printing capacity we lack is not at 01:30. Just expanding the production capacity in Huangcun or acquiring a small printing factory is a drop in the bucket. "

It's wrong to fool people, to scare people, well, Mr. Lin is very professional in persuading leaders.

Cheng Zaochun really hesitated, "Is it really as serious as you said?"

"Ask Lao Mou if you don't believe me, the situation is not optimistic!"

Mou Chunzhi was watching a play on the sidelines, but he didn't expect to have his own part in the play, seeing Cheng Zaochun's eyes looking at him.

"Ah... this... I think... it's true... it should... maybe..."

He faltered for a long time without saying anything, but Lin Weimin said: "Look, Lao Mou also agrees with my point of view."

Mou Chunzhi: Are you really the president deaf?

The way he looked at Lin Weimin was like looking at the traitor next to the emperor.

Cheng Zaochun didn't know about Lin Weimin's flamboyance, but he didn't dare to bet that Guowen Society's upward momentum was too appalling. If it could maintain it for another two years, it might become the publishing house with the largest book circulation in the country.

If this upward momentum is interrupted because the printing capacity cannot keep up, then he, the president, is simply a sinner of the Guowen Society.

"Well, let's discuss it later in the meeting. Expanding production capacity and acquiring a printing factory are not small sums of money."

Lin Weimin said nonchalantly, "It's only two or three months of profit, so it's not a big problem."

"You're not in charge, I don't know..." Cheng Zaochun instinctively rambled.

Lin Weimin instinctively listened with his left ear and blew his right ear.

The plan belongs to the plan, and the future production capacity does not represent the current production capacity. The current difficulties still need to be overcome by Mou Chunzhi.

After coming out of Cheng Zaochun's office, Lin Weimin grabbed Mou Chunzhi and said solemnly, "Old Mou, within half a month, you must find me a printing factory that can provide us with a production capacity of 1 million sheets within half a year."

Mou Chunzhi was shocked when he heard the words, and there was only one sentence in his eyes: Do you know what you are talking about?
If 1 million printed sheets are converted into books, it is basically 1000 million volumes, and ordinary printing factories simply cannot handle such a job.

Even if someone's property is adequate, it may not be reserved for the Guowen Society!
Mou Chunzhi opened his mouth to explain to Lin Weimin, but Lin Weimin continued: "I'm not kidding you. There may be a huge shortage of printing capacity in the company this year. Whether it is expanding the production capacity of its own printing factory or purchasing a printing factory, short-term Such a huge demand cannot be met within a short period of time.”

Why didn't you tell the president just now?
Mou Chunzhi complained.

He also understands that the leaders have already agreed to expand production capacity and acquire a printing factory, and the leaders can no longer worry about the remaining emergency matters.

Otherwise, what would he do as the vice president?
Although Lin Weimin's words were exaggerated, it was true that there was a gap in the company's printing production capacity, and it seemed that it was not small.

Forget it, just think of it as a rainy day.

"Prepare a few more sets of printing plates for "Abandoned Capital" and "Spirited Away." Lin Weimin warned again.

Mou Chunzhi thought to himself, "Spirited Away" sold 200 million copies in one and a half months, so it is appropriate to prepare several sets of printing plates. In the future, the production capacity cannot keep up, and several printing factories must be printed together.

But "Abandoned City"...

Mou Chunzhi was a little uncertain. Now that the pure literary style is weak, Lin Weimin said that he is optimistic that Jia Pingwa's book will be a hit.

He has never read the novel "Abandoned City", but it is pure literature after all, and Jia Pingwa has no precedent for her works to sell well, so it should... not be so?
In the outside world, the news about the signing ceremony of the first batch of writers of the Buhuo series is still spreading like a raging fire. The first batch of media reports have already been reprinted, and many media followed up with reports and commented on the matter, further fueling the popularity of the news , Let the names of cloth tiger series and several signed writers spread all over the country.

Under the enthusiasm of this kind of news that is almost concerned by the whole people, the first batch of three novels of the Buhuo series officially landed on the shelves of major domestic bookstores.

Five days later, Wei Fengjun hung up the phone of the distribution office of Xinhua Bookstore again, his eyes were empty, and he muttered to himself.

"Selling crazy!"

"Crazy sell!"

The young man in the publishing department was very worried about the mental state of the leader, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only ask cautiously: "Leader, what does Xinhua Bookstore say?"

Wei Fengjun looked at the young man, his eyes gradually focused, and then he said word by word: "Another 60 copies of "Abandoned City", 20 copies of "Bitter Realm", and 30 copies of "Flower Season and Rainy Season".

Xiaonian nodded, that's okay, the total of the three books is only 110 million volumes.

110 million copies.

Hey, that's not right, isn't it only five days since it went on sale?

The young man looked at Wei Fengjun, recalling what the leader said to himself just now.

Selling crazy!
"Leader, are you sure there are 60 volumes of "Abandoned Capital", 20 volumes of "Bitter Realm", and 30 volumes of "Flower Season and Rainy Season"?"

Wei Fengjun smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't reached the level of dementia yet, have I?"

The young man was puzzled and said, "But haven't these three books just been released?"

"Spirited Away sold 50 copies in a week."

The young man felt disdainful, how could these books be compared with "Spirited Away"?

"Spirited Away" began to be serialized in "Children's Age" in June last year, and it took eight issues to increase the sales of "Children's Age" from 6 copies per issue to nearly 40 million copies in the last issue.

Using a novel to create a 10-fold increase in sales, the starting point is not 1000 copies, not 1 copies, not 10 copies, but a full 40 copies. Looking at the century-old periodical history of China, this situation is unheard of.

The sales volume of 400 million copies represents at least 400 million readers, and because of the characteristics of children's literature, there are parents and classmates behind every young reader. It is not an exaggeration to double the number of readers.

After the single edition of "Spirited Away" was released, it has continuously broken the sales record of domestic books. It will take two and a half months to publish, and the sales volume has infinitely approached 300 million copies.

In this case, compare the novels "Abandoned City" with "Childhood".

Leader, you are somewhat irrational.

"Spirited Away" caused an unprecedented sensation in the domestic children's literature circle. The sales volume approached 300 million in two months, not to mention in the children's literature circle, even in the history of modern Chinese literature, it was the first time in history.

This is due to the credit of the novel itself, and it is also related to the form of the novel being serialized first and then published. In more than half a year, "Spirited Away" has developed enough readers and potential readers.

With the help of this huge readership, and their viral spread, "Spirited Away" has achieved unprecedented sales miracles.

Now not only the Guowen Society, but even many people in the domestic publishing and literary circles are discussing a question, how long will it take for "Spirited Away" to break through the 1000 million copies.

Although the sales volume of "Spirited Away" has not yet exceeded 300 million copies, everyone understands that the end point of this novel cannot be in the seven figures, and even the eight figures are only a matter of time.

要知道光是连载《千与千寻》第八期的93年《儿童时代》1月号的销量就突破了400万份，这400万份的销量跟《九州英雄志》的400万份的含金量截然不同。

The sales of "Heroes of Kyushu" have increased little by little in two years. Readers may like a certain work published on it, but they must love the magazine itself more than the work.

But "Children's Age" is different. From the original sales volume of 40 copies per issue to the current sales volume of 400 million copies, there is only one thing it has done, and that is to serialize "Spirited Away".

Readers love "Spirited Away" much more than magazines. This can be clearly seen from the drop in sales of "Childhood" after the serialization of "Spirited Away".

After the February issue of this year's "Children's Era" was released last month, it has only sold 220 million copies in more than a month, which is close to half.

The March issue has been on the market for half a month, and the sales volume is only half of that of the February issue, which can be called a cliff-like decline.

This roller coaster-like sales volume naturally made the Childhood community feel anxious, but they also knew that the high sales volume was not their fault, so the slump in sales volume was naturally not their fault.

The reason for all this is that Lin Weimin wanted to write a fairy tale for his newborn daughter.

As the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Qiu Shilong was terrified when he saw the sales of the last two issues.

But reason told him, don't be greedy, let alone think about those unrealistic things. As long as the sales volume of "Children's Age" can maintain at the level of 60 million copies per issue after the first half of the year, then for the magazine, it will be a big deal. The great success is also an indelible achievement of his editor-in-chief.

After all, in the past few years, apart from the rising sales of popular literature, the sales of other literary works and publications have been falling. It is already a blessing to have a sales increase of 20 million points in a year.

What's more, during this year, they have created an unprecedented history of "Children's Era".

The creation history of "Childhood" was brought to them by "Spirited Away", but at the same time, "Spirited Away" is constantly creating its own new history.

Everyone was pretty sure of that until late March.

But no one thought that when "Spirited Away" was killing all directions in the domestic book market, another dark horse would fall from the sky.
