The king of all people

Chapter 183 Twenty thousand copies sold out

Jia Ke was the first person besides the statistical agency and his own secretary to know that the sales of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" skyrocketed the next day.However, due to the flat and sluggish sales on the first day, Jia Ke's nemesis Luo Baiyue withdrew the informants he arranged in major bookstores, so he was not able to know the latest sales of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" in the first place.

When the female secretary was panting to inform Jia Ke, Luo Baiyue broke into Jia Ke's office with a group of company employees.As soon as he saw Jia Ke's stunned expression, he was happy.

"I said, Manager Jia, don't be too sad. The statistic of 1300 copies is actually barely enough. It's also a bestseller." Luo Baiyue raised his head proudly, looked around and spoke with thorns Said: "It's a pity... Compared with your signing price of 60 yuan per thousand characters, the sales volume on the first day is far from enough. Besides, you must know that "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has occupied the golden bookstore in the past two days. The recommended position, if it is replaced, the sales will definitely plummet."

Luo Baiyue thought for a whole night, and he imagined dozens of ways to slander and humiliate Jia Ke, with the purpose of completely losing his prestige and status in front of his colleagues.Only 1300 copies were sold in the entire province. I'm afraid I can't even afford to pay for the copyright!
Hailan Publishing House is not a large company, and they cannot afford this burden.

At this time, some nearby employees also approached here one after another, wanting to have fun.To be honest, watching the dispute between the two managers of the publishing house is indeed much more interesting than the boring work process.

"Do you know? When I passed by Editor-in-Chief Zhao's office in the morning, I heard the sound of a cup being thrown inside. I'm afraid I was completely disappointed with Manager Jia's actions this time..."

"Manager Jia is indeed too reckless. It costs 60 yuan per thousand words, and it took tens of thousands of yuan to buy the publishing copyright. After counting the printing and transportation costs, there are only 1300 copies in the entire province on the first day. The sales volume is really a loss-making business. Hey, our Hailan Publishing House seems to be hopeless!"

"That is to say! Originally, although the company's situation was a bit crisis, at least the liquidity was enough to support it for a while, but now he squandered it all at once, and he had to pay back even if he didn't make a penny. He was blind! Or Vice President Luo is more sensible, and he is down-to-earth for the sake of the company."

Almost all the staff who came to watch overwhelmingly supported Luo Baiyue and condemned Jia Ke's actions.Except for some Luo Baiyue bought in advance, the rest of the employees are resentful towards Jia Ke because they are about to lose their jobs.

Surprisingly, Jia Ke, who was surrounded by questioning eyes and swearing, did not get angry, but smiled mysteriously, and then said to Luo Baiyue with great interest: "Vice President Luo, you are too I'm a little anxious. "Gu Jian Qi Tan" just came out yesterday, and many readers don't know this novel. Besides, the author of this book is Li Xian. Everyone knows that he is a very popular in China recently. Artists, I believe that after the transition period of these few days, there will be another substantial increase in sales."

Jia Ke's unhurried tone made many people feel very strange. They wondered why Hailan Publishing House was going to close down, and Jia Ke's position as general manager could not be kept. How could he be so calm.

As for Luo Baiyue, he took Jia Ke's reaction as a pre-death disguise, and continued to say with great disdain: "It's not your first day in the publishing business, and the sales of books are basically not long after they go on sale. The results of this first day can basically represent the trend of this book... Besides, if you are so confident in this book, Manager Jia, how can you have such dark circles under your eyes and such a bad complexion? Doesn’t it mean that even yourself Don't you have any confidence in it? So what about popular artist's books, if readers don't pay for it, it's a fart!"

"You'd better not talk too much!" Jia Ke finally frowned. He didn't expect Luo Baiyue to be so arrogant that even Li Xian began to insult him. "No matter what the result is, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is the last straw for our Hailan Publishing House, and I, Jia Ke, have a clear conscience."

Compared with the calm tone before, Jia Ke said this sentence loudly and skillfully.However, in Luo Baiyue's eyes, his expression looked like a poor wretch who had nowhere to go.

Some other staff muttered again. The mediocre sales of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" on the first day is already a well-known fact within the publishing house. Jiahe suffers from insomnia because of uncertainty about his future.

Luo Baiyue and Jia Ke had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and this time he was finally about to catch Jia Ke. He was always hoping to kick Jia Ke away and take the position of general manager himself.

"Haha, since Manager Jia is so confident, we naturally don't have much to say. However, the recommended bookshelves will be replaced by major bookstores the day after tomorrow. Or, can it still have a fraction of the sales volume on the first day..."

The more he talked about it, Luo Baiyue became more merciless.He felt that Jia Ke was now a defeated soldier without a weapon, waiting for his final fatal blow.

The staff who came to watch listened to all the conversations between the two. Apart from lamenting the excitement of the battle between experiences, they were more worried about their own future.After all, if "Gu Jian Qi Tan" does not sell well, Hailan Publishing House will go bankrupt, so all of them will lose their jobs without exception...

"You...! You are not welcome here, you should go back to your office!" To everyone's surprise, Jia Ke's female secretary seemed to be unable to take it any longer, she stood up and pointed at Luo Baiyue's nose angrily. road.

She has been with Jia Ke for a long time, and it was because of him that she was able to secure this position.This morning, when she knew that the sales of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" had reversed, she rushed to Jia Ke's office immediately, wanting to help him relieve his worries.But the two of them were only halfway through the conversation when a group of snobs like Luo Baiyue barged in!

The female secretary was so annoyed by Luo Baiyue's arrogance that her entire body trembled slightly.

"Yo... I never thought Mr. Jia could still win the hearts of beauties despite his poor career! This is good, so he won't go home and drink the northwest wind alone, hahahahahaha~!" Luo Baiyue didn't even laugh, the joy in his heart was here Reached the highest point in an instant.

After saying a word that made the female secretary want to rush up and slap him, Luo Baiyue turned around, ready to leave Jia Ke's office in a swaggering manner.Of course, this office will soon become Luo Baiyue's exclusive property.

At this moment, a series of banging footsteps approached from a distance, and a curly-haired man in a black leather jacket trotted in.Many people present knew him. He was the communication person responsible for the sales of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" between Hailan Publishing House and major bookstores in the province this time. He has been going back and forth for the past two days to count the sales of this book. Condition.

"Why are you running? There was a lot of noise during working hours. If it spreads out, it won't be laughed at by others!" Luo Baiyue was annoyed by the noise of footsteps. Before he became the general manager, he began to reprimand the general manager with the air of a superior. staff.

Jia Ke behind him has long been unable to remain calm, this Luo Baiyue has become lawless to such an extent!Didn't this clearly declare to himself that he is the general manager of this publishing house!

But Jia Ke also felt slightly worried in his heart.After all, the female secretary just told me that the sales volume of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has turned around today, and it can even be described as crazy.But now that Luo Baiyue said that, he was a little worried that the secretary deliberately said that to deceive himself in order to make himself happier...

If that's the case, he can only watch helplessly as Luo Baiyue, a villain, takes over...

While being suffocated by Luo Baiyue, Jia Ke was also worried about the future of himself and Hailan Publishing House, his whole heart was twisted into a ball like a twist.

Jia Ke sometimes doubts whether he really has a problem with his eyesight... Is it true that "Gu Jian Qi Tan" does not have the ability to be a hit and save Hailan Publishing House?However, although he is not a master of prophecy, at least he has been the general manager of the publishing house for several years, and he can basically understand the prospects of books. The current situation is not going according to his expectations.

If it is true as the female secretary said, the sales of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is undergoing a shocking reversal, it is the best.But if the decline continues as Luo Baiyue said, he will have no choice but to pack up and leave. Even if Editor Zhao doesn't drive him away, he won't have the face to stay here...Of course, he won't blame Li Xian for blaming that Xiao Yun, the sexy female agent, insisted on buying the copyright of this book from beginning to end and he was the only one.

"I'm sorry, Vice President Luo. I'm really in a hurry... I just got the first-line news that the first batch of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" shipped out from dozens of bookstores in the urban area are all sold out! Not only that, Contacts from other bookstores across the province also called to say stock was tight and asked us to restock as soon as possible."

Everyone knows that the first batch of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" printed 2 copies, and now he said that, isn't it declaring...

Luo Baiyue's incomparably rampant expression sank in an instant.Resisting the bad thoughts in my heart, I said, "What did you say?! Which book is sold out? Tell me clearly!"

The curly-haired man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, let out a sigh of relief and continued: "You heard me right... the "Gu Jian Qi Tan", which was released yesterday, has sold out of stock in all major bookstores, and the stores are urging us to increase the stock. What! We, our Hailan Publishing House are saved!"

He couldn't hide his excited tone, as if he had given Luo Baiyue, who was still domineering a few minutes ago, a blow to the head.He touched his face, only to feel the burning pain... In an instant, his eyes turned black, and the world spun.
