Chapter 79 was sold out in one day! (Seeking for reading)
Books all have sales cycles, and different sales channels have different sales cycles.
The worse the sales volume of a book, the shorter the sales cycle, while the better-selling book, the longer the sales cycle. For example, the four major classics have been sold for hundreds of years and are still on the best-selling book list. Woolen cloth!
About 16% of books have a sales cycle of only one month. These types of books are basically self-published for fun or to judge professional titles.
General books have a sales cycle of three to six months, and up to 60% of books will not continue to sell after six months of sales.
In other words, 60% of books only have a sales life of six months. After six months, it will be difficult to buy them.
Of course, we are talking about offline channels. In the future, when the Internet develops, all kinds of rare books can be found online.
Only 40% of books can still be found on the market six months after they go on the market, and only about 5% of books can be reprinted many times and sold for a long time.
Only about 1% can always be on the bookshelf for sale.
Profits in the book market are also supported by leading works. The top 1% of books sold contribute about 60% of profits, the top 5% of books sold contribute more than 80% of profits, and the remaining 95% % of the books, share 20% of the profits.
As far as the publishing industry is concerned, the vast majority of book publishing actually makes no money or even loses money. The publisher is betting on the 5%, or even the 1%. A 1% best-selling book is enough to sustain a publishing house for several years.
Zhang Wei's book "The Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp: The Ancient City" is self-published. Under normal circumstances, it only has a one-month sales cycle. After one month, it will be taken off the shelves regardless of how many copies it sells.
However, Editor Wang felt that there should be a market for this book, so he gave it a three-month sales cycle. If you can sell 3,000 copies in three months, that is, if you sell 1,000 copies in a month, you can extend it for another three months.
The channels in the 21st century are indeed very powerful. The next day, Zhang Wei found his book in the small bookstore in Zhongguancun, but the location was not very conspicuous and it was not placed in the bestseller list. area, but placed in the new book area.
My own books must be supported, so Zhang Wei bought three books at once. Except for keeping one for himself, the other two were given to Concubine Ye and the autistic person.
...
Zhang Wei returned to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the autistic man putting all the beer on his table, and then sitting there, staring at the beer.
“Chen Ming, no one stole your beer, so you don’t have to keep an eye on it!”
“You don’t know yet, but the box of beer you gave to Chen Ming was almost stolen by Fang. The professor confiscated it!" Ye Haotian explained.
“Why? Hasn’t Chen Ming always been the favorite of the physics department?”
"He wanted to drink ice cold beer, so he took the beer to the superconducting laboratory! There is liquid nitrogen there."
"Using the liquid nitrogen from the superconducting laboratory to cool the beer? You really dare to do anything. Do it! It seems that Professor Fang has a really good temper and didn’t beat you to death!" Zhang Wei glared at the autistic man in surprise.
Professor Fang does have a good temper, and Mr. Zhang, who is 78 years old and paints traditional Chinese paintings, can tolerate it.
"Didn't you lead him astray? It was you who took him secretly to the laboratory! If you had called me, I could have stopped you!" Ye Haotian said.
"Okay! I'm still upset because I didn't take you to do the experiment!" Zhang Wei shook his head helplessly, and then threw a copy of "Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" to Ye Haotian.
"I'm giving you a book to make amends!"
"What book? A ghost blowing out a lamp? A ghost story? When did you become interested in ghost stories?" Ye Haotian asked.
Hearing the words "ghost story", the autistic man immediately turned his head, his eyes full of expectation.
"Isn't this autistic person really a psychopath?" Zhang Wei thought to himself, and at the same time handed another book to the autistic person, and said by the way: "This is not a ghost story, this is It’s a tomb robbing novel.”
“Tomb robbing? It’s illegal!” Ye Haotian said.
"The novel is purely fictional!" Zhang Wei replied.
Ye Haotian turned to look at the book in the hand of the autistic person and found that the two books were the same. He asked with a puzzled face: "You can just buy one. We pass it around. Why do we need to buy two?" This book?”
“What’s the author’s name?”
“The author, Zhang Wei, has the same name as you! Isn’t it because the author has the same name as you? A few copies, please support me!"
Ye Haotian said, turning to the title page and saw that there was a signature of "Zhang Wei" on it.
"There is also the author's signature! Did you meet the author himself to sign a book and sell it? Why don't you ask the author to write a few more sentences, such as blessings like the East Sea and longevity without borders."
"Okay, you Bring it over and I'll fill in a sentence for you, wishing Ye Haotian immortality!" Zhang Wei said.
After Zhang Wei reminded him, Ye Haotian discovered that the signature belonged to Zhang Wei.
"The author's name is Zhang Wei, how dare you sign it! If your name is Yu Hua, do I have to get you a copy of "Alive" for you to sign?" Ye Haotian said.
"He means that this book was written by him." The autistic man suddenly spoke.
"Did you write it?" Only then did Ye Haotian react.
"I have been home for two days and have nothing to do. I wrote a book. Please give me your advice." Zhang Wei said shyly.
“Is it related to graphene?” Ye Haotian asked immediately.
"Didn't I tell you? This is a tomb robbing novel! Do you know what tomb robbing is? It's just digging up people's ancestral graves! What does it have to do with graphene!"
"Oh, I also I thought you would write a book about graphene!" Ye Haotian said, opened the first page and started reading. After a few chapters, Ye Haotian was attracted by the story and completely immersed in it.
On the other hand, the autistic person only turned a few pages, then put the book aside and continued to stare at his beer.
It’s not a ghost story, it’s not scary, it’s not perverted, it’s not interesting!
Zhang Wei is a little worried whether autistic people will trade this book "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp" for beer.
Zhang Wei turned on the computer and played a few games of Warcraft to practice the operation. After all, he was going to audition at an Internet cafe tomorrow.
"Zhang Wei, is Professor Sun okay in the end?" Ye Haotian's voice suddenly came.
"Professor Sun? Which department?" Zhang Wei asked subconsciously.
"Professor Sun in the book I'm talking about! You didn't write it here." Ye Haotian pointed to "Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" in his hand.
"You've finished reading it? You read it quite quickly! What do you think?"
"It's beautiful! I still have more to say!" Ye Haotian then asked: "But you dug a hole here. Quite a few! What happened to Shirley Yang after they escaped from the desert?"
"Want to know? If you want to know what happened next time, let's listen to the explanation next time!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Just give me the spoilers first!" Concubine Ye said with a pleading expression.
Looking at Concubine Ye's pitiful little eyes, Zhang Wei sighed helplessly: "Just wait until tomorrow. I'll type out the manuscript for the next part and let you read it first! That's all right!" "
......
Early the next morning, Zhang Wei went to the Internet cafe for the WCG Beijing Division auditions.
What Zhang Wei didn't expect was that there were so many people at the scene. There was a sea of people inside and outside the Internet cafe, and police officers from nearby police stations were sent to maintain order.
“As expected of a big city, the popularity of e-sports is so high!” Zhang Wei sighed in his heart.
In his previous life, he studied at a local university in Qinhai. The e-sports atmosphere in prefecture-level cities is definitely incomparable to that in first-tier cities. Naturally, Zhang Wei had never been exposed to offline e-sports competitions at that time.
With the participation certificate given by Feidian Internet Cafe, Zhang Wei walked to the registration office and looked around. They were all private experts from all walks of life holding Internet cafe competition certificates.
“I feel like this Internet cafe entry certificate is not very valuable!” Zhang Wei thought to himself.
The staff at the registration office took one look at the participation card and gave Zhang Wei a form to fill out.
In addition to name, youth, place of origin, contact information and other information, the form must also fill in an ID used in the game.
Zhang Wei thought about it and filled in "ZW" with the initials of his name.
The Internet cafe audition competition system is very cruel. Because there are too many registered players, the BO1 single sweep competition system is adopted. If you lose one game, you will be eliminated and go home.
Zhang Wei didn’t feel any pressure. Anyway, the focus was on participation, mainly to feel the atmosphere of the offline competition.
Life is originally a journey. When you reach the end, you will leave with nothing. In this case, let’s experience more different customs and customs during your travels!
Zhang Wei also had good luck. He got a bye in the first round; in the second round, he met an Orc, and he easily took away his opponent with a wave of SKY; in the third round, he met a Madaha, and he didn’t know where he was going. If you eat and miss the game, it will be counted as a forfeit.
In the fourth round, it was another beast tribe, and they still won easily. The opponent in the fifth round was still an orc, but Zhang Wei still used a wave of tactics and won the game in ten minutes.
After five rounds, Zhang Wei actually advanced to the main round of the WCG Beijing Division!
This is not because of Zhang Wei’s level, but because of his tactics.
According to the game understanding of that era, if SKY beat the Orcs in one wave, they would have won without even having to fight!
There are already many Orc players in Beijing, and 2004 happened to be a period when the Orcs were relatively strong. By the third round of the auditions, half of the players were Orcs, and by the fifth round, two-thirds were Orcs.
This actually gave Zhang Wei an advantage. You must know that in the next three years, Orc players will be completely rubbed on the floor by SKY's waves, without even a chance to fight back. In the end, Blizzard was forced to modify the game. , so that the orcs could resist a little.
So many top Orc players in the world are unable to withstand the wave of SKY, how can a few Internet cafe masters possibly be able to stop it!
The next main competition of the Beijing Division will be held at the end of June. If you can win the top three in the Beijing Division, you can directly enter the WCG China competition.
...
On the way back to Qingdao University, Zhang Wei passed by the small bookstore in Zhongguancun again.
“Go in and see how my books are selling!”
When I came to the bookshelf where new books were placed, I didn’t see “Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp” where he was yesterday. , and then looked around, there was none either.
“Didn’t you say there was a three-month sales cycle? It was taken off the shelves in just one day?”
Zhang Wei frowned, walked to the counter, and asked: "I saw a book called "Dead Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" yesterday, and I planned to buy it today. Why has it been taken off the shelf?"
"You're looking for "Dead Man Blows Out the Lamp"!" The lady at the counter immediately replied: "It's not that it's been taken off the shelves, the last one has just been sold. After all, it's a new book, and only a few copies have been purchased.
Our store manager has told the warehouse that ten more copies will be sent over tomorrow. If you want them, they should be here at noon tomorrow!"
"Sold out in one day?" Zhang Wei let out a sigh of relief. , according to this sales rate, the 10,000 copies printed will not be able to sell at all!
Thank you all for your monthly votes. This chapter has more than 3,000 words, and it is another chapter full of sincerity! I just heard something. Because next week is the Spring Festival, not only the fourth round, but also Sanjiang may be released this week, so the follow-up data for this week is related to two recommendations. After passing the customs, I still hope to go to Sanjiang, and if I go to Sanjiang, there will be an extra two weeks of free period, and you can spend less money. However, this section also contains the plot of fighting World of Warcraft. Young readers have no sense of involvement. I am really afraid of stopping reading. I sincerely ask all Wu Yan ancestors not to read the book. Even if you don’t like this plot, please do me a favor and click on a new chapter, scroll to the end, and support reading to pass the level. Thank you all!
