I really don't want to be red

Chapter 839 Exaggerated Quantity

As soon as the awards show ended, An Ran was chased and intercepted by various publishers as soon as she left the house.

Even the craziest fans can't do what these publishers do.

Li Xinying, who originally wanted to chat with An Ran, saw it with a wry smile and left alone in the car.

These publishers took the attitude that it would be dark tomorrow, persuaded and educated An Ran, and promised various benefits, hoping to impress An Ran's heart.

In fact, before coming here, An Ran had already expected this situation.

"Fortress Besieged" is Qian Zhongshu's masterpiece, and its status in the literary world on the land of China is self-evident.

And before that, this book has already set off a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet.

Therefore, An Ran had expected to be surrounded by publishers, and had already chosen a publishing house in her mind.

It's just that he didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so high.

Not even willing to wait a little longer, abruptly crowding out all the judges and authors.

Bai An was helpless, leaving a look that you could do it yourself, and beckoned everyone to leave.

An Ran showed up at the office on time the next day.

After a short meeting, Yang Cheng wandered in again, opened the door and saw An Ran was inside, and was surprised, "I thought you wouldn't come today!"

An Ran said: "What?"

"Being hunted down by publishers!" Yang Chengdao: "Every year, the champion will face the siege and interception of major publishers. Basically, the talks can be concluded that night. I thought you were an exception. I didn't expect you to be immune..."

An Ran smiled wryly, stretched out two fingers and said, "I was busy working until two o'clock in the evening, the publisher made an agreement, and other details were negotiated before letting me back. I almost thought I would never come back."

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Which one did you choose?"

"Qingfeng Publishing House!"

Yang Cheng nodded, "Then the publicity will start in a few days!"

"By the way, how many copies did you print for the first time?"

Generally speaking, for the more promising books, the first printing is [-] copies.

For example, there will be more books for the champion of the "Young Shoot Award", because it has been tested by professionals, and the "Young Shoot Award" is equivalent to a big advertisement. The champion's book will not worry about selling, and generally the first printing is 20 copies.

As for the books of other rankings, the printing volume is also quite a lot, all around 15 copies.

If the first purchase is good, then the second printing will be done later.

Generally speaking, there is no problem with the sales of award-winning works.

Sometimes even if you can't sell them all, there won't be much left.

Enron's book is the most popular over the years, and it is also the book most recognized by the judges and netizens. It is estimated that the first print of 30 copies is not a problem.

An Ran stretched out her finger and shook it.

Yang Cheng couldn't help being disappointed and said: "One hundred thousand volumes? This is...too little!"

Mad, this is not the treatment of a champion.

An Ran shook her head and said, "That's... 100 million copies!"

"puff!"

Yang Cheng felt like he was going to vomit blood, 100 million copies?How much confidence does Qingfeng Publishing House have in An Ran?This number is too exaggerated.

He felt that even if his guess was a bit conservative, it should not be far behind.

Between 30 and 40 is an acceptable range.

If it's 50 copies... that's awesome.

In the past ten years, 50 copies have been printed without the first edition of the book.

Then I know that I still underestimate Enron because of this, and they will sell millions of copies at once.

How could Qingfeng Publishing House be so cruel?How can you be so bold.

Yang Chengcheng was stupid there.

Just as dumbfounded as him is Shang Xing, the owner of Qingfeng Publishing House.

"How many did you say?"

"One million copies!" On the other end of the phone, the deputy editor-in-chief Lu Kai said: "This is Teacher An's request. At least one million copies must be printed, and I think this is also an opportunity!"

Chance?Chances of knocking down a publishing house?

Shang Xing was facing the phone without saying a word for a long time.

"Mr. Shang, this book is very popular!"

Of course I know it's very popular, even if you have 50 copies, he can accept it, 100 million copies?Very hot, are you trying to cremate me?

It took a long time for Shang Xing to ask: "Lu Kai, do you know the concept of 100 million copies? In the past ten years, due to the impact of the Internet, have any books sold more than 50 million copies? Not even [-] copies, please tell me The whole million volumes...you tell me what you think?"

Lu Kai pondered for a moment before saying, "This time the book is different. I think it can reach a million sales. Moreover, the literary value of this book is as high as its entertainment value. I don't think a million is not a problem."

"Is it a problem? Are you the one who has the final say?" Shang Xing suppressed his anger and said, "Do you know how much risk the company has to take?"

Lu Kai pondered for a moment, "If the sales volume is not reached, I will bear all the losses personally, and I will resign from the position of vice president at the same time."

Shang Xing was choked.

As the deputy editor-in-chief, Lu Kai released several popular novels.

According to the share, it can be regarded as a broken asset. If he can't sell it, he can afford to pay for it himself.

Shang Xing said: "It's a question of whether you will be allowed to pay or not. If you really can't sell it, the company still has some capital. If you discount it and find a relationship, it can bear the loss."

"I just want to know, why are you so confident!"

Lu Kai said calmly: "Because he is An Ran, this is also his only requirement for choosing a publishing house. Other publishing houses dare not agree, but I agree. I believe that Teacher An has the ability!"

No, I don't know whether An Ran has this ability.

But I know you have a hard head!

"Although there are 100 million copies, I want to use this cooperation to build a good relationship with An Ran. We will be his first choice for any works he has in the future!"

Shang Xing pondered for a long time before saying: "Since you have agreed, follow the steps. Anyway, the printing volume has been set so much, invest more in publicity, and spread the publicity as much as possible..."

The two said a few words and hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Lu Kai's hands were already full of sweat.

Last Stand.

In fact, he himself didn't have much confidence. The reason why he dared to agree to this condition was because he wanted to win.

The editor-in-chief Han Song didn't deal with him, and the competition between the two became fierce.

He urgently needs a performance to stabilize his position, and it is best to replace it.

But recently, I have read all over the market and there are no novels that I can mention.

Until Enron appeared.

He has also analyzed it himself. This book is the best novel of the "Young Shoots Award" in the past ten years. At the same time, An Ran itself is very popular. With the blessing of the "Young Shoots Award" champion, the sales of this book will not be bad.

Even if it is less than a million, it will not be too far away. He estimates it to be around 80.

As long as he can achieve this result, not only will his position be stable, but because of his good relationship with An Ran, it will not be a problem to try his best to get Han Song out of office.

But analysis is analysis!

But when things came to an end, he was still uneasy!
What if the expected sales volume is not met?Then I have no choice but to fulfill the promise on the phone and resign to compensate for the loss!
