What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

"What if the system forces me to copy books( to find the latest chapter!

"Hey~ me, Lao Lai from the university town."

"Yes, yes! The reason why I called you was that I wanted to ask you for help."

"No, no, it's not as serious as you said, and it's still in the fire. The relationship between the two of our brothers is not to be fooled!"

"Isn't that "Dragon Race" going on sale today? I ordered 50,000 copies from Man Jinghua before and it was sold out at once. I remember in the group you said that you ordered a total of 80,000 copies. Yes, what I mean is, can you buy a little 10,000 or 20,000 copies for my brother, and I can help you first?"

"What!? You don't have that either!? No way!"

"Looking for Lao Zhang from Chaoyang? He ordered a full 100,000 copies at that time? Okay, I'll call and try."

"..."

"Hey~ is that Lao Zhang? I'm an old lady in the university town."

"That's it, @!#~￥%"

"No? No way. Didn't you get 100,000 copies at that time? I'm just going to use it for emergencies. I'll make up for it tomorrow... Dudu Dudu."

When the manager Lai made three or four calls in a row, he came back in vain. If the relationship was good, he might even have a few chats. The one who was close to the relationship just opened his mouth and proposed that Jianghu should rescue a batch of "Dragon Race", and the voice just fell. It didn't take a minute for the other party to hang up the phone directly.

To put it simply, it is a sentence: if you want other books, you can, but "Dragon" is not!

He didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at first, and he didn't even know that even his own Xinhua Bookstore in the university district could sell out 50,000 copies of "Dragon Race" in such a short period of time. The situation is definitely worse than it is, let alone 50,000 volumes. If it is later, it is estimated that 80,000 volumes will not be able to hold, and then the 100,000 volumes should start to worry if the situation is not good. .

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy! Sorry..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy! Sorry..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy! Sorry..."

Since it is impossible to find a peer to dismantle this way, store manager Lai can only turn to the publisher, namely Manjinghua Publishing Company, if he has no other better way. Unfortunately, what he can think of is the bookstore owners all over the country How could it be unexpected? Although the number of 50,000 copies is not a lot in Yanjing, the capital of China, there are still some other cities who are not brave enough to order 10,000 or 20,000 copies.

The retail price of a paperback version of "Dragon Race" is 30 yuan, and the purchase price of bookstore owners from the publisher is basically in the range of 22-24. After deducting the miscellaneous expenses such as freight and electricity, the income will be at least in Between 15%-18%. A very simple math problem, for example, if the profit of a paperback version of Dragon Race is 6 yuan, then the 50,000 copies sold by Boss Lai is a full 300,000 yuan.

At a time when e-books are becoming more and more popular, brick-and-mortar bookstores are not as profitable as they were in the 1990s. On weekdays, if you can earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan after deducting various costs and expenses in a month, it is already a high price. In the end, the books in the warehouse had to lose money when they were packaged and sold at a net loss. It is not bad to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout the year!

Comparing the two, almost three years of profits were made in one day!

Saying "Dragon" is a cash cow, I believe that bookstore owners all over the country will not have the slightest objection.

In such a situation where time is money, when faced with the dismantling request of a peer, no one will hesitate to refuse it. Lending out 10,000 or 20,000 copies is equivalent to saying that you have made a loss of 108,000. Who wants to?

Purely published novels such as "Dragon Race" are better. If it is an online novel, the real money is actually made when the first batch of fans and readers buy it, and the subsequent sales will drop rapidly. Books are not a necessities of life, nor are they consumables. Many people buy one book, and some people who are shy even buy a book together to borrow each other. Therefore, the more time passes, the more people will buy it. few.

"Manager Lai, you've been on the phone for a long time, can you tell us if this book is still available?"

"Yes, yes, I have to rush back to the company for work in the afternoon."

"For every minute you waste, you are wasting more than 100 minutes of more than 100 people present!"

"Procrastination can't solve the problem. Manager, you have to give us an explanation for those of us who have been queuing for a long time."

"..."

Watching Store Manager Lai holding the phone against his ear, he didn't put it down, and his lips quickly closed up and down. Although he couldn't hear the specific content, and he wasn't so high-end to understand lip language, the big guy was not stupid. It's been a long time since I came back, and with the passage of time, the more and more ugly face can be roughly judged one or two, this time, everyone who was full of joy and thought that they could turn around and bought "Dragon" suddenly became resentful and couldn't help but make trouble. stand up.

People's mentality is sometimes affected by the environment.

Manager Lai's mentality inevitably became extremely impatient at this time. He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and called the sales manager of Manjinghua Publishing Company seventeen times, but every time he got no response. The emotional line replied, "The number you dialed is busy, please call again later!"

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Thank goodness, at the moment of dialing out for the nineteenth time, it was finally connected!

"Hello, is this Manager Ouyang from Manjinghua? I'm Lai, the manager of Xinhua Bookstore in Yanjing University District. I want to order a batch of "Dragon Race" books with you, 30,000... No! Give me more I'm here for 50,000 copies~www.readwn.com~ I'll call you all the money right now."

"Mister Lai, wait a moment, wait a moment first~ Listen to me first: We have already sent all the books that were first printed in "Dragon Race" to all parts of the country, and now our warehouse is really full of books. No, even the books that were originally intended to be used for book exhibitions and signings have been sent out more than an hour ago. Now it's not just your store that urgently asks for money, but contact me now. Not fifty or sixty, at least thirty or forty."

"How can I do it? There are a lot of readers in my store who have lined up and haven't bought the book. They won't leave if they don't buy the book. Manager Ouyang, how can you help my brother through this difficulty this time?"

"Brother Lai, it's not that I don't help you, but I really can't do anything. I'm not afraid to tell you that this time it was indeed a mistake in our estimation of the number of first printed copies. The printing factory is already working overtime to rush printing. Now, almost a batch was printed, and the bosses around couldn't wait to pick up the goods on the spot and pulled them away!"

"Manager Ouyang, wait a moment..."

The store manager Lai didn't understand where he heard this. It wasn't the old-fashioned way of not throwing eagles if you didn't see the rabbit, and not biting the hook if you didn't see the bait. In line with the principle of not letting small money, not big money, not entering, he gritted his teeth and entered the other party's mobile phone number from Alipay to transfer money. Ten thousand dollars passed. .

"Alipay has received 10,000 yuan!"

Hearing the content automatically broadcast by his mobile phone, Manager Ouyang showed a satisfied smile: "I also know your difficulties, brother, so you can go to the Huamei Printing Factory in the west of the city to find their supervisor, and I will say hello there. Yes, the 20,000 copies that have been printed are for you to pick up first."

"Okay! Thank you very much, Manager Ouyang."

"Whatever, this is what I should do!"
