Chapter 347: All Bookstores Want to Swear
It was ridiculous to make such a thing happen, just because Wei Xiaopang revealed some information about the new book, which resulted in a super big mistake.
I don’t know how many publishing houses are laughing at home. Ganbao’s “Soushen Ji” is already a public resource, and any publishing institution can print, publish and sell it.
In just one night, the inventory of various online bookstores has been exhausted. Whoever made it possible that such books could not be sold for half a year? They did not prepare too much in the bookstore.
It just so happens that it is the New Year period again, and it has become a luxury to find a dealer, printing factory, and publishing house to replenish goods. Most online bookstore orders have not yet been processed. After all, the express delivery has been suspended!
This is just the sales of physical books. The work on the e-book with the same name as Zhang Chu's new book has already performed super strongly. It seems that netizens have nothing to do in the New Year.
"Soushen Ji" is a work that stands out among the strange novels of the Jin Dynasty, which is a public resource, and is free to download on Amazon kindle e-books!
The download volume of e-books that don’t have money immediately increased by leaps and bounds. The title of the book that few people had heard of has now appeared on the eighth place in the free ranking list!
The first place is "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ranks second, and "Three Hundred Songs of Tang Poems, Song Poems, Yuan Songs, and Yuan Songs" is third. Any book on this ranking is a famous classic.
The influence brought by Zhang Chu is absolutely extraordinary. "Soushen Ji" directly crushed "Shan Hai Jing" behind him, and many comments looked at Zhang Chu's works.
Not only are there original classical Chinese versions, but also translated into vernacular Chinese, and various versions dazzle readers!
In the kindle e-book Chinese studies category, it ranks in the top three as popular Chinese studies books and ranks second in the Chinese studies collection department. In the sub-category of e-book novels, it also stubbornly reached the top five.
This is just an unofficial revelation. If Zhang Chu himself announced the title of the book, his readers would not have given the book to the championship position?
Zhang Chu was a little overwhelmed, "It's nothing to read free books, but it would be awful if those people went to spend money to buy books. Why don't they look at the author's name when buying books!"
Even if you are your own readers, you still have to make the same complaints.
Although the names are the same, the author's name is so far apart, and I know the difference by reading the introduction, but a small group of people fell in.
Of course, some readers also saw the words "Gan Bao" by the author, but they couldn't resist the thoughts they had discussed before. They thought this book was the source of inspiration for Zhang Chu's new book, so they bought it to take a look.
The media will not have a holiday during the Spring Festival and are worried that they will not find any better news. It is a waste not to report such a big mistake now!
So the editor on duty on Phoenix.com released the news early in the morning, which instantly made many netizens at home laugh.
[Zhang Chu's new book revealed its title, and his literary classics of the same name were bought all over the hot topics]
The news title alone makes people want to smile. I am very happy to see this kind of news during the Chinese New Year.
"Phoenix.com reported on February 13 that a classic Chinese literary book suddenly showed a sales boom after being released many years. Thanks to Zhang Chu.
The work "Soushen Ji" by the historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "The Legend of the Gods", has been passed down for thousands of years and has become a representative work in classic strange literature, but yesterday it has received an unprecedented best-selling.
This book mainly tells the mythological stories of various gods, ghosts and demons, and this name was also chosen for the new book written by Zhang Chu, a famous young writer in China.
It is speculated that many customers may have planned to order Zhang Chu's book "Soushen Ji", but by chance, they ordered enough other works of the same name.
Currently, on several major book purchase platforms, the physical books of Ganbao version of "Soushen Ji" have been sold out, and no accurate numbers have been exposed in physical bookstores."
It was obviously just a brief message, but the number of comments under this news was beyond imagination. The first stupid thing in the New Year seemed to be particularly early!
"I'm so laughing. Are these people really stupid and have a lot of money?"
"It seems that it's better to pay attention when buying books. Just reading the title of the book is not enough, you have to look at the author and content."
"This kind of obedience is too inappropriate!"
"Hahaha, those bookstores probably will be bleak. The unsold books that I feel like I can't sell for a year have been sold out all at once. They have to thank Zhang Chu collectively."
"A reader who feels a little sorry for Zhang Chu has spent so much money in vain."
...
Just like these netizens’ thoughts, Zhang Chu is very sorry for his readers now. Although a book costs more than 20 yuan, if some students are involved, the more than 20 yuan is their meal money for one or two days.
It will definitely be very depressed to buy a work that you don’t need very much. In addition, there are so many ridicule on the Internet, these readers will definitely feel very uncomfortable.
So Zhang Chu was thinking about what he could do to reduce their losses and depression, and finally found that there was nothing else but to update a micro blog.
"Happy New Year, dear readers. I'm happy to share with you the new book "Soushen Ji" I am creating. This work is inspired by "Shan Hai Jing" instead of the work of the same name that everyone speculates. Now that this new book has just begun to be created, it will not appear immediately on the Internet. Readers who have purchased the Ganbao version of "Soushen Ji" in an online bookstore can choose to cancel the order. If you are really interested in this work, all major e-book stores can provide free versions, please forgive me!"
It’s the Spring Festival now, the second day of the Lunar New Year!
Even if the online bookstore is ordered, it will not be delivered. Cancelling the order is a very suitable operation method, and Zhang Chu also gave solutions.
If you buy books in a physical bookstore, as long as the packaging is complete and there is no destruction, you can return the goods smoothly.
After the news came out, readers who were a little wrong with how to operate it. Now after seeing Zhang Chu's serious reminder, they mustered up the courage to take out their phones and chose the option to cancel the order.
Today, the head of the bookstore and publishing house was like a roller coaster ride that was extremely exciting. Before, I thought I could finally clear the inventory.
However, by Zhang Chu's disturbance, the biggest trend of book promotion in history was born!
The publisher just planned to add prints temporarily, but now it seems that it's not a big deal. The bookstore owner also has the same idea, and there is a saying in his mind that MMP should not be said or not!
There are so many returns since the beginning of the New Year, and they are slightly superstitious about the whole year ahead.
It is said that opening the door is a good time, but this should be considered a bad start, right?
