Entertainment: Opening confession to all the female students in the class

Chapter 158

Inside the main store of Chang'an Bookstore in Shanghai.

"Is "Zhu Xian" already sold out?"

A boy about fifteen or sixteen years old pointed to an empty bookcase at the back of the bookstore and looked at the male salesperson.

"Yes, it is gone for the time being!"

The male salesperson said very apologetically.

"Then when will it be available?" The boy asked with hope.

"The exact time cannot be determined, but it will be three days at the earliest!" The male salesperson explained.

"All right!"

The boy sighed in great disappointment, and walked out of the bookstore.

The male salesperson saw the scene in front of him with his own eyes, and then turned his eyes to the middle-aged vice president: "Vice President Zhou, this is already the tenth batch of people who came to ask questions today, and all the major branches are also urging this "Zhu Xian" ", when will it be available?"

The tone of the male salesperson was a little annoyed.

As the manager of the head office of Chang'an Bookstore, his income is not only the basic salary, but also the sales commission of books.

Usually it's okay, you can rely on the patronage of the students around you and buy some miscellaneous things to fill up your performance.

But now I see that the students are only a few days away from the winter vacation.

If you can't take advantage of this time period to sell more, then this year will not be easy.

At this juncture, the sudden emergence of the online novel "Zhu Xian" brought him hope, but within two days of its appearance, the hope was shattered.

Because this book is out of stock.

The surrounding branches called three or five times a day to urge orders, but he just couldn't get the goods out.

He watched helplessly as the performance was lost in front of his eyes.

He felt heartache.

"I'm asking, who knew that online novels could sell so well!"

The middle-aged vice president also responded with a big headache. Looking at the busy phone number of Modu Publishing House on his mobile phone, he probably guessed that there would definitely be a lot of people calling to order at this moment.

After all, no one would have guessed that the online novel "Zhu Xian" would have such a big sales volume.

Those online novels that have been published before are almost all money-losing products at the bottom of the box.

This time, the major bookstores are also based on past experience, basically ordering about [-] volumes.

According to the sales volume of online novels in the past, the [-] copies would have to be sold for at least two months.

Unfortunately, "Zhu Xian" became popular all of a sudden.

[-] volumes of books were distributed in dozens of branches, but they were all sold out in less than two days.

After a while, his call finally got through.

"Hi, this is editor-in-chief Li from Modu Publishing House. I'm Zhou Han from Chang'an Bookstore. I want to order another [-] copies of "Zhu Xian"..."

The middle-aged vice president spoke anxiously, but he didn't wait for his words to finish.

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Zhou, "Zhu Xian" is temporarily out of stock. If you want to order it, you have to wait at least five days for it to be available!"

"Five days?"

The middle-aged vice president was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Old Li, these five days are a bit too long, and the students will be on winter vacation soon, can we see how many times we have cooperated before?" For your sake, send me a batch of goods in advance?"

Li Mingchuan snorted coldly, and said: "I remember I asked you two days ago, asking you to order more "Zhu Xian". Didn't you say that it couldn't be sold, and you didn't order a single volume?"

The order quantity of "Zhu Xian" was less than [-] two days ago.

At that time, he personally called Mr. Zhou of Chang'an Bookstore, but his answer was not humane at all.

That being the case, now he naturally won't give any kindness.

"This... Didn't I know that online novels could sell so well at the time... Lao Li, look at our friendship for so many years, can we get some goods first?" The middle-aged vice president replied with a little embarrassment.

He naturally remembered what happened two days ago.

At that time, it was indeed a bit straightforward to refuse, but now I can't open my mouth if I want to intercede.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't even get it right. K Goose sold 90 copies in three days, and I've sent over 20 of the inventory here. In addition, hundreds of booksellers, large and small, called today. Come here to place an order, I said I can give it to you in five days, which is considered fast!"

Li Mingchuan said slowly.

Although I don't want to give face to the other party, but after all, I have asked for this, so I still need to explain.

"K goose?!"

The middle-aged vice president was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled.

"It's that K-goose reader who engages in online literature, and they sell books online!" Li Mingchuan explained lightly.

"Oh~"

The vice president of Zhongnan came back to his senses.

I was a little surprised in my heart, but I still felt a little relieved, as long as the goods were not for other booksellers.

"Okay, then hurry up and hurry up!"

Listen to the phone and hang up.

The middle-aged vice president sighed deeply, looked at the male salesperson beside him and said, "It won't be available until five days later, you can watch the arrangement for these five days!"

"Five days!"

The male salesperson opened his eyes wide and said, "I don't know where this book is sold for five days. Will there be so many people who don't even know?"

The middle-aged vice president got up, stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the male camper, and said with relief: "Don't worry, all the books stored by Modu Publishing House this time are given to K Goose, not with our competitors. Our Chang'an Bookstore If you can't get the goods, other booksellers will not be much better, everyone is the same!"

After hearing this, the male salesperson's face softened a little.

But a few seconds later, he thought of something again and said: "Then Magic City Publishing House also has a bookstore directly operated by itself, and they must supply their own store first when they have stock!"

"Hey, there's no way!"

The middle-aged vice president sighed: "However, they should not do too much, after all, they will cooperate in the future, and there are only a dozen bookstores in the entire magic city directly operated by them, which is still far behind our Chang'an Bookstore! "

After hearing this, the male salesperson did not speak, but picked up his mobile phone to contact several old friends in the industry.

After a while, he handed the mobile phone to the middle-aged vice president, and said with a full face of complaint: "Vice President Qi, the deadline given by Modu Publishing House to Mingchang Library is four days, which is one day less than ours!"

The middle-aged vice president was stunned for a moment: "This shouldn't be, the scale of Mingchang Library is not bigger than ours?"

"I asked people, and they said that the editor-in-chief Li of Magic Capital Publishing House asked them to add an additional order of "Zhu Xian", and their boss ordered an additional [-] copies, so they sold them a favor and delivered it one day earlier!"

The male salesperson was full of resentment.

The middle-aged vice president also lost his face: "..."

Although it was only delivered one day in advance.

However, the size of Mingchang Library is similar to that of Chang'an Bookstore, and one day is enough to sell an unknown number of books.

This ebb and flow may also affect the reputation of the bookstore.

If he had known this earlier, when Li Mingchuan called him before, he would sell him a favor and order an additional [-] to [-] copies. Now if he can get the goods one day earlier.

The money earned is not known how many times more than the additional books.

What a miscalculation!

The middle-aged vice president felt so regretful that his intestines were green.

However, no matter how regretful he was, he could only watch at this moment.

After all, the book is in the hands of the Devil's Publishing House, and they can give it to whoever they want, and he can't grab it.

"I really saw a ghost!"

The middle-aged vice president gritted his teeth with a sullen expression.

He couldn't figure out how the online novels, which had always been money-losing, would have such a good sale one day.

This market is really getting more and more unpredictable!

Similar to the situation in Chang'an Bookstore, it is staged in the head offices of dozens of booksellers around Shanghai.

They were all afraid that if Modu Publishing gave the goods to others, they would lose a step.

However, no matter how anxious they are, the ending is already doomed.

Those booksellers who had previously ordered "Zhu Xian" all got Li Mingchuan's promise to supply the goods one day in advance.

The rest are five days away.

As soon as the news came out, those booksellers who had sold Li Mingchuan's face almost smirked.

Really a surprise.

As for those conservative booksellers, they are no different from Vice President Zhou of Chang'an Bookstore at the moment. Not only are they remorseful, but they will also be complained by the bookstore operators below.
