(This chapter is a reward for the book friend "Guardian of Truth" and is also updated. Please support everyone with monthly tickets!)
The sun is shining in the morning with clear sky, and the atmosphere of summer spreads in Yanjing City. The beauties put on short skirts and shorts, and their white long legs are dazzling.
But before nine o'clock, there were thunder sounds coming from the sky, and a large cloud rolled over, pressing the entire sky very low.
The pedestrians on the street couldn't help but speed up, especially those who didn't bring umbrellas, for fear of the raindrops falling.
It was stuffy and uneasy, and huge lightning flashed through the sky, followed by dull and loud thunder sounds echoed through the sky, and raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the sky.
The heavy rain washed the dust in the air, and the streets quickly gathered into small rivers. People who had no time to hold umbrellas had to find a place to hide from the rain.
Outside the newspaper booth, Chen Dongwei, wearing a white shirt, was wiping the water droplets on his forehead with a tissue. His clothes were also a lot wet. Now he can only use his mobile phone to explain the situation to the boss, and he may be much late.
After sending the text message for leave, he had time to carefully look at the small newspaper booth. The room was filled with various drinks, mineral water, cigarettes, snacks, etc., and the stall was neatly placed with the newly published newspapers and magazines.
Since you are hiding from the rain here, you have to at least consume it, otherwise you will appear a little shameless.
So Chen Dongwei scanned the newspapers and magazines above with his eyes, "Yanjing Daily", "Yanjing Morning News", "Beijing Times", "China Youth Daily", "People's Daily", and "Guangming Daily" all of which were newspapers with relatively large local circulation.
But he couldn't raise his interest at all, so he casually flipped through the overlapping magazines.
At this time, a young man rushed over panting and said to the boss: "Boss, do you have "Fantasy Age" here? I asked two places, and they all said there was no purchase."
"Fantasy Age? I'm looking for it. I remember getting three copies back, and it probably didn't sell them. I remember that it was discontinued and it was resurrected."
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Chen Dongwei did not expect that all the magazines he read during his school days had been discontinued. He was busy working and living every day, and he had almost no extra time to read books.
"Fantasy Age" once accompanied his college years, and now he feels an inexplicable sense of intimacy as if he hasn't seen an old friend for many years.
"Boss, give me a copy of "Fantasy Age" too!"
"Okay, 6 yuan."
After the young man took the magazine, he carefully placed it in the mezzanine of his backpack, and then rushed out quickly, full of youthful vitality.
Chen Dongwei looked at the lonely back on the cover with some emotion, which completely attracted his sight. On the red wasteland, the back in the space suit was always walking alone.
The rain had no intention of calming down at all. Chen Dongwei couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the directory. An author actually posted two novels in a magazine, which was really surprising.
"Martian Rescue"? Although he hasn't read novels for a long time, he has also paid attention to the news and updates on the Internet. Isn't this the victim of the Douban Water Army that was buzzing in the past?
He didn't help the novel to get the ratings back, but he was also one of the glorious onlookers and had a good impression of this book.
Now that there are tens of thousands of words in the magazine, he will take a look carefully. If it is good, buy physical books. However, what attracts him more is "Jurassic Park" in the catalog.
Chen Dongwei knew that the Jurassic period was an ancient dinosaur era, but what happened to Jurassic Park? Do you regard that era as a park for people to visit?
Until the rain stopped, Chen Dongwei did not react. He stood under the awning in the newspaper booth and read for a long time. It was only when another stranger came to buy water that woke him up.
"When will the rain stop? I'm so fainted, I'll pass quickly."
While running, I didn't forget to put the magazine in my briefcase, for fear of being splashed by the water on the ground.
The boss only took the last book "Fantasy Age" in his hand and flipped it out, wanting to see what magic it actually fascinated the person just now.
However, the owners of newspaper booths who read countless books were unable to withstand the charm of "Martian Rescue" and "Jurassic Park". This was out of control and he didn't even want to do business.
"Boss, get a bottle of Nongfu Spring that is not frozen. Boss? Boss!"
The boss who was disturbed to read the book looked at the person in front of him with displeasure, "The water is there, go get it yourself, it's 2 yuan."
He didn't even see how much the customer had paid just now, and he grabbed it and threw it into the box aside, making his eyes difficult to move.
"The science fiction novels in this book are actually better than those in "Science Fiction World". Why do I only bought three books? I should call to purchase more books."
...
At this time, the editorial department of "Fantasy Age" was busy making a bunch of things. When their phone calls were almost gone, they kept thinking about it since the morning, and many people couldn't call in at all.
"Hello, welcome to call Fantasy Times Magazine. Is there anything I can help you?"
The editor who was temporarily guest-starring the customer service staff was holding the phone and starting to record it. There were already a series of numbers waiting beside her.
"Hey, are your magazines still in stock now? I need 5,000 copies now. Can you come here to get the goods right away?"
"Sorry, it's out of stock at the moment, but we are urgently printing and stocking. If possible, please leave your phone number and title. We will notify you after we have the stock?"
"Then as soon as possible, it's selling very well now, and many people are asking!"
"We will do our best to provide it. If there is nothing else, please see you. I wish you a happy life."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaoxiao filled out another form, raised her hand and said, "Editor-in-Chief, there are five thousand more copies."
At this time, Editor-in-Chief Tan was already smiling from ear to ear. He originally asked the magazine to print 50,000 copies for the first time, for the current hunger marketing situation. He instilled a thought in readers that most of the things that cannot be bought are best-selling.
The country is so big, and 50,000 magazines are probably not evenly distributed to all newspapers and magazines or bookstores. In many places, there is actually no such thing as this.
Seeing so many people coming to ask, but there weren't here. The owners of these retail stores could only urge regional dealers to ask the dealers to come and sell goods quickly.
But the problem is that there is no goods on the dealer, so they can only call the magazine to urge them. At first, they did not pay attention to the re-issue magazine. Now, the momentum is really strong.
"Now we have printed 50,000 copies of the printing factory, and I don't know how long this craze will last."
"Editor-in-chief, we just calculated that the request for calling is almost 40,000. It is definitely not enough for us to print 50,000, and we have to print it again."
Tan Lin thought for a while and said, "I will place an order for the printing factory and ask them to continue printing 50,000 copies. I can't imagine selling 150,000 copies in the first issue."
