Chapter 68 Opportunities for Newcomers

"You kid, you promised to help me with sheep, why did you leave?"

Old Mrs. Lin held Zhang Chu's hand and said reluctantly, unable to let go.

Zhang Chu retorted innocently: "Grandma, I didn't say that I came to help you with sheep. I'm here to play. You must have remembered it wrong!"

After accidentally speaking out his heart, Old Lady Lin was sophisticated. She patted Zhang Chu's back of her hand and said earnestly: "I remember to bring your book after I go back. I'll show it to the neighbors. Our good grandson has published books and become a writer."

"I remember that when the time comes, you can get there in a day at most."

Zhang Chu didn't want to come back to herd sheep. The flower world in the city was more suitable for him. There was nothing here, and there was also an orange cat who was staring at him all day long.

He took the bus with his backpack on his backpack and waved to Old Lady Lin outside the window. He felt very happy. A small part of it was because of the publication of his works, and most of them were relieved.

He took out his cell phone and sent a message in his WeChat gay friend group, "Brothers, I, Hu Hansan, are you back! Is there anyone who wants a signature book?"

"I!"

"I want it too!"

"Give me one."

The friends in the group raised their hands quickly and answered. Although they didn't like reading novels, it didn't have much trouble collecting a book at home.

However, Zhang Chu said arrogantly: "If you want it, come to me with the book tomorrow."

"Bah! I thought you were going to give me one, but I don't want it." Wei Wenlin said angrily, "Even if you come to the door, I won't forgive you."

Anyway, sitting on the bus was boring, so Zhang Chu started to play with his friends.

Now, Nanhai Publishing Company takes advantage of the media reports and quickly spreads its works to major bookstores across the country, and also puts them on its official website and official stores of several major shopping websites.

As for how many copies of "Detective Sherlock" can be sold, it depends on the readers.

...

The bus swayed for more than two hours and almost broke Zhang Chu apart. When he pushed open the door of Hanlinxuan Bookstore, he found that his bookstore had become a sea of ​​Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock's stills poster, enlarged cover version of "Detective Sherlock", and piles of books piled up in several stacks. Zhang Bowen even put out various British hats, pipes and crutches that he had treasured for a long time.

Those who don’t know think that a Sherlock theme party is going to be held here, which seems to be full of confidence in Zhang Chu’s works.

"Dad, do you need to be so exaggerated?"

Zhang Chu was a little ashamed. If only one or two books were sold in the entire bookstore at that time, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Zhang Bowen patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder and said confidently: "It's okay, your mother is still planning to print some flyers for you to send! There are already many uncles and aunts on this street who come to buy books and support me, and I'm waiting for you to come back to sign."

As he said, he pushed Zhang Chu to the cashier and handed the signing pen to Zhang Chu.

Fortunately, I was able to win the primary calligraphy proficiency in the system, which is equivalent to the primary level of the top calligrapher. Now I can kill a large number of movies in seconds.

After Long Feifengwu signed his name, Zhang Chu felt that it would be great if his bookstore could be expanded. At that time, he could write books by himself and sell them in his bookstore, and he could make money from both upstream and downstream.

However, physical bookstores are expensive these days, and they are not something that a writer can bring. They need various factors.

"As a newcomer, don't be too ambitious. You can sell as much as you can." Zhang Bowen was very knowledgeable about educating, as if he was the one who published the book.

Zhang Chu had a black thread, "Dad, it seems like you have published a book."

"I can't recognize the current situation in the publishing industry without publishing books? You forgot that this bookstore has been open for more than ten years. You are earning the tuition fees for elementary school and middle school from it."

Although Hanlinxuan's business is not as popular as Xinhua Bookstore, it has always been lukewarm, so it is still fine to make some money to support the family, otherwise Zhang Bowen would have switched to the rest.

"Although our country has protected copyrights in place and there are many people reading books, look at the data we report every year. Which year is not a classic work at the forefront? It would be good if someone buys newcomers like you, don't be too ambitious."

However, Zhang Chu disagrees with Zhang Bowen's point of view, which is the generation gap between the different views of the two generations.

"Dad, why do you keep reading classic old books? It's not because the quality of new books is generally poor. If the new books are as exciting as classic works, there will be no shortage of purchases. This is actually a business opportunity!"

The new book lost to the old book in terms of sales because of its content, quality and popularity. Zhang Chu felt that his book "Sherlock" had the potential to be a dark horse.

Since you can counterattack the Holmes essay championship, why can't you perform well in the sales of physical books?

Zhang Bowen was speechless by these refutations, so he had to turn around and pretend to go and serve.

This is indeed what Zhang Chu said in his heart. What a god can see is an extraordinary opportunity. Just like a salesman selling a comb to a monk, he is good at thinking about problems from different perspectives.

Back at his second floor home, Zhang Chu threw his backpack directly on the ground and quickly took out his mobile phone. At this time, the sales of physical books had not been reported at all, so he had no way to check it. He could only get some clues from the e-books on the Internet.

Currently, all regular bookstores in China must install the unified sales system of the National Copyright Administration to facilitate the verification of authenticity and the latest sales data can also be found.

It’s just that professionals must be able to view real-time data, otherwise the data will be updated only through the official website of the National Copyright Administration at 7:00 p.m. every night.

Zhang Chu doesn't have that much face to let insiders reveal the data, so he can only check it out at Amazon, the largest e-book purchase and download address in China.

In Amazon's kindle bookstore, there are many recommended positions and rankings, among which the special price area and the new book area have a high number of clicks. In addition, novels are also sold well in the e-book category.

“There is no best-selling rankings, no soaring rankings…”

Zhang Chu was a little worried. It seemed that his book performed very mediocrely online. Didn’t anyone know that “Detective Sherlock” was released in advance?

After reading it for a long time, he finally found his work on the latest place on the shelves. This is a small recommendation position. The e-book is priced at 9.99 yuan, and there are only 3 reviews at present, which seems to be a bit of money.

Considering that this book has only been on the shelves for a few hours, Zhang Chu was also calm. Six people have read their own books for three reviews, and many people are used to reading only books and not commenting.

"Come on, rush up, don't be polite to me."

………

I have something to do at home until now, so I quickly took the time to update.

There are so few recommendation votes. Call for recommendation votes, find time to break out again and again!
Chapter completed!
