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

Even the most ardent fans can't do what these publishers do.

Li Xinying, who originally wanted to chat with An Ran, had no choice but to give up with a wry smile and leave alone in the car.

These publishers adopted a no-morrow attitude, persuading and educating Enron, and promised various benefits, hoping to impress Enron.

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

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

And before that, this book had already caused a wave of popularity on the Internet.

Therefore, Enron had already anticipated being surrounded by publishers and had already chosen a publisher in his mind.

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

Not even willing to wait a moment longer, he forced all the judges and authors who had gathered around to squeeze outside.

Bai An had no choice but to leave a look that said you have to figure it out, and asked everyone to leave.

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

Not long after the meeting, Yang Cheng wandered in again. When he opened the door and saw An Ran inside, he was surprised, "I thought you wouldn't come today!"

An Ran said: "What?"

"Being chased by publishers!" Yang Cheng said: "Every year, the champion faces the pursuit and interception of major publishers. Basically, we can negotiate it that night. I thought you were an exception, but I didn't expect that you are not immune..."

An Ran smiled bitterly, stretched out two fingers and said: "I was busy until two o'clock in the evening. The publisher made an appointment 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 Book Club!"

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

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

Generally speaking, the first printing of a relatively promising book is 100,000 copies.

For example, there will be more books written by the winner of the "Young Crops Award" because they have been tested by professionals, and the "Young Crops Award" is equivalent to a big advertisement. The winner's book has no worries about selling, and usually has a first printing of 200,000 copies.

.

As for the books in other rankings, the printing volume is also quite large, all around 150,000 copies.

If the first purchase is good, then it will be printed a second time.

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

Sometimes even if it can't be sold out, there won't be much left.

Enron's book is the most popular book in history and the most recognized by judges and netizens. It is estimated that the first printing of 300,000 copies will not be a problem.

An Ran stretched out her finger and shook it.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but said in disappointment: "One hundred thousand copies? This is... too few!"

Mudd, this is not the treatment of a champion.

An Ran shook his head and said: "Well...one million copies!"

"Poof!"

Yang Cheng felt like he was going to vomit blood. One million copies? How much confidence does Qingfeng Book Club 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 off.

Between 300,000 and 400,000 is an acceptable range.

If there are half a million copies...that would be awesome.

In the past ten years, no book has printed more than 500,000 copies of its first edition.

Who knew that this was enough to underestimate Enron? He could buy millions of copies in one go.

How could Qingfeng Book Club be so cruel? How could it be so courageous?

Yang Chengdu was so stupid.

Just as dumbfounded as him was Shang Xing, the owner of Qingfeng Bookstore.

"How much did you say?"

"One million copies!" On the other end of the phone, 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!"

Opportunity? Opportunity to bring down the publishing house?

Shang Xing looked at the phone and didn't say a word for a long time.

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

Of course I know it's very popular. He can accept even half a million copies. One million copies? It's very popular. Do you want to cremate me?

Shang Xing took a long time to say: "Lu Kai, do you know what a million copies are? In the past ten years, due to the impact of the Internet, have there been any books that have sold more than one million copies? Not even 500,000 copies. You give me

Let me read the entire million copies... Tell me what you think?"

Lu Kai pondered for a moment before saying: "This book is different. I think it can reach one million sales. Moreover, the literary value and entertainment value of this book are both high. I think one million is not a problem."

"Do you have the final say whether it's a problem or not?" 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 cannot be reached, I will bear all the losses personally, and I will resign from the position of vice president."

Shang Xing was choked.

As deputy editor-in-chief, Lu Kai has launched several popular novels.

According to the profit sharing, it can be regarded as a broken asset. If it cannot be sold, he can afford to pay for it himself.

Shang Xing said: "It's a question of whether you should be compensated or not. If it really can't be sold, the company will still have some capital. If we offer discounts and find connections, we can still bear the loss."

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

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

No, I don’t know whether Enron has this ability.

But I know you are tough!

"Although it's one million copies, I want to build a good relationship with An Ran through this cooperation. We will be his first choice for any works he publishes in the future!"

Shang Xing pondered for a long time before saying: "Since you have agreed, let's 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.

A last-ditch battle.

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

Editor-in-chief Han Song couldn't deal with him, and the competition between the two became fierce.

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

But I haven’t seen any novels on the market recently that I can mention.

Until Enron appeared.

He himself has also analyzed that this book is the best novel awarded by the "Young Crops Award" in the past ten years. At the same time, Enron itself is very popular. With the aura of blessing from the winner of the "Green Crops Award", the sales of this book will not be bad.

Even if it's less than one million, it won't be too far off. He estimates it to be around 800,000.

As long as he can achieve this result, not only will his position be secure, but also because of his good relationship with An Ran, it will not be a problem to work hard to unseat Han Song.

But analysis is analysis!

But when things came to a close, he was still feeling uneasy!
