Chapter 988 Achieving Small Goals

For the special signatures in the same language, take the English version as an example. Judging from the photos posted by netizens, there are a total of three special signatures.

These three special signs have one thing in common, they are all Chinese and English, the speech is in English, and the signature is in Chinese.

The difference is the speech.

"Congratulations, lucky one" "You have been chosen by me" "Nice to meet you".

These speeches are very simple, but it seems that Zhang Zhong is setting a standard, a standard that has the atmosphere of this collector's edition.

This means that even in the future, even if someone comes to Zhang Zhong for signature with a collector's edition book, it can be distinguished from the signed book in this lucky prize.

This distinction makes this signature special.

……

There are not enough books to sell, and of course it is not the single volume of "The Speaker of the Dead", because for this record, Xu Yang has prepared very well, basically there will be no out of stock situation.

Not enough to sell is the Collector's Edition.

A total of 200 million sets are prepared for the collector's edition, which was decided in advance and has not been changed since then.

These 200 million sets include more than 30 languages, and the average number of sets for each language is tens of thousands.

Of course, it is impossible for each language to have an average score. Naturally, a large language such as Huaxia and English will have more points, and Koryo will naturally have less points.

And considering the sales volume, only [-] sets were distributed in the entire Neon Country.

For a country with a population of more than 1 million, [-] sets are indeed a little less.

The two big markets like China and the United States have divided 80 sets and 30 sets respectively, taking more than half of the shares.

In this way, other countries will naturally have to share even less.

In fact, there are nearly a hundred language versions of Zhang Zhong's works, but some languages ​​are too niche, and it would be a bit of a loss to publish a collector's edition, so I will not consider it this time.

You should know that this new book "Speaker of the Dead" is released simultaneously in more than 60 languages ​​around the world. to the Collector's Edition set.

The 200 million copies, Xu Yang thought at first, should not be sold, and he reserved a lot of these 200 million copies as a buffer.

But what I didn't expect was that all 200 million sets were sold out within one day.

The first thing that sold out was the official website.

Most of the books are handed over to the distributors for processing, and only a small part is reserved on the official website, only about 20 sets.

These 20 sets were sold out within a few hours of the launch on the day, and they were out of stock for the rest of the time.

Then channel dealers from all over the country called to ask for the book, and in the end, channel dealers in almost every place called, asking for the collector's edition for no other reason.

Moreover, most of the distributors "open their mouths open", and there are hundreds of thousands of copies...

If you are simply doing business, the best way at this time is of course to immediately release the purchase link on the official website. Anyway, the official website does not need spot goods, let readers pay for it first, and then slowly print it out and send it over.

Physical bookstores, considering that there are only points activities today, can also open pre-sales, and you can enjoy the same activities as long as you pay.

This is the best solution.

But this is not simply doing business. Yang Fan knows that printing more can indeed make a lot of money, but it may affect Zhang Zhong's image.

After much deliberation, Yang Fan still called Zhang Zhong.

When Zhang Zhong received the call, he was playing a game with Peng Peng.

Pengpeng has recently become obsessed with who is undercover, and today happened to be with her family, so she took them to play the game together.

Zhang Zhong had just drawn a "Lemon" card, and he was the first to speak, but Xu Yang's phone call came just in time, and he said to Peng Peng and the others, "I'll answer the call, you guys speak first, I'll listen."

"Hey, what's the matter, Xu Yang?" Zhang Zhong asked after answering the phone.

Xu Yang said: "Now all regions have reported that the collector's edition is out of stock. I just want to ask you if you need to continue printing. If you want to print more, how much should you print?"

Hearing Xu Yang say that the collector's edition is out of stock, Zhang Zhong was a little surprised, "Is it out of stock now? Did you print 200 million sets before?"

"Yes, more or less." Xu Yang replied.

Zhang Zhong calculated in his mind that there are more than 40 books in one set, and more than 200 million sets are close to or even more than 8000 million.

In other words, today's sales volume has reached at least 8000 million copies.

This sales volume has far exceeded his expectations.

In his mind, it is not easy to sell 200 million of these 100 million sets today. After all, it is more than 2000 yuan, and most people are rarely willing to pay this money.

And this is only the price on China's side, and it is more expensive in Europe and the United States.

But now it seems that he still underestimated the market, and also underestimated the appeal of the collector's edition and points activities to readers.

"Boss?" Xu Yang didn't hear Zhang Zhong's reply on the other end of the phone for a long time, so he tried to ask again.

Zhang Zhong withdrew his thoughts and said, "Since it is a collector's edition, don't print it again. Let's leave everyone in suspense. After all, these things are just fried rice. Let's not let readers waste money."

Xu Yang knew that Zhang Zhong would make such a decision, so he was not surprised at all, "I know, boss. Besides, it seems that the goal I set before should be achievable."

Zhang Zhong smiled, "Yes, I have achieved it, and I will give you a bonus later."

Xu Yang set a goal of 8000 million before, but now it seems that it must have been exceeded. After all, the collector's edition alone has sold 2000 million. Couldn't "Speaker for the Dead", "Cat City Tale" and other books combined sell [-] million?

The issue of the bonus was not something that Zhang Zhong just said casually. Recently, the colleagues in the company have been working very hard. Today's sales are at least 70 billion. It is definitely unreasonable not to pay some bonuses.

After hanging up Xu Yang's call, Zhang Zhong returned to the game. Peng Peng and the others had already spoken just now, and Zhang Zhong heard Xu Yang's double-edged call.

But judging from their speeches, what they got should be oranges or oranges.

Zhang Zhong looked at the "lemon" he got, and said with a smile, "This thing of mine is sometimes round, sometimes petal, sometimes green, and sometimes yellow. "

When Pengpeng heard Zhang Zhong say this, she nodded repeatedly, her expression was probably saying: Well, my father's is the same as mine.

Later in this round of the game Zhang Zhong won as an undercover agent, Peng Peng still couldn't believe it.
