Chapter 846 Hug the thigh
The phone number belongs to the boss Shang Xing. He knows what to do without even asking.
"Boss..."
Lu Kai's tone was relaxed, and his address became casual.
As expected, Shang Xing didn't care about his title, but laughed loudly, "Well done, Lao Lu... When you come back, the position of editor-in-chief is waiting for you!"
Lu Kai was silent for a moment, "Mr. Shang, forget about the editor-in-chief, Han Song is more suitable than me!"
"Oh?"
Shang Xing was stunned for a moment. The two of them were fighting to the death for the position of editor-in-chief. They were smiling on the outside, but behind your back, they were just fucking each other with a knife. Why did Lu Kai suddenly become more open-minded at this time?
"What do you mean?" He was a little unsure of what Lu Kai meant.
"I'd better be the deputy editor-in-chief!" Lu Kai said with a smile: "It's very good here, so don't worry, Lao Han, I won't continue to compete with him!"
Damn it, the sun comes out from the west?
Lu Kai has worked under him for more than ten years. How can he not know what kind of character he has?
How can you be so easy to talk to?
How can this person suddenly change his gender when he reaches middle age?
"Lao Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"It's nothing, I just think it's boring to argue and argue. I learned this from Teacher An! Teacher An was indifferent when he heard that it has sold millions of copies!"
Lu Kai lamented: "People don't even take a million sales. Life is easy. I will have to study more in the future!"
Is that so?
Shang Xing always feels that something is wrong.
I believe you.
Of course Lu Kai doesn't have this idea. As deputy editor-in-chief, he doesn't have to go back to the head office and can stay in Shanghai for a long time.
If you stay here, you can have more contact with Enron.
Mudd, can a chief editor compare with Enron? As long as he has more contact with Enron, depending on his talent, he may be able to write some masterpieces in the future. The benefits are simply not comparable to that of a chief editor.
Why do you want to be editor-in-chief? One is just for money, the other is for higher status.
But as long as I hug Teacher An's lap, will I be short of money? And let alone the editor-in-chief, your boss Shang will have to smile when he sees me in the future.
After all, there are not many writers like Enron who can write million-selling books.
Not to mention anything else, if this book is reprinted from time to time in the future, it will not be less than 50,000 to 100,000 copies.
These are all achievements, why should I compete with you for the position of editor-in-chief? I’m full of food.
Shang Xing couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but it would be a good thing for one of them to quit.
In this case, Shang Xing cannot be treated badly.
"Okay, you'll be solely responsible for the Magic City from now on!"
This was what Lu Kai wanted, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Shang!"
Shang Xing said: "By the way, the first edition sold out too fast. Many booksellers called me. Please increase the printing volume for the second edition..."
"I have already contacted the factory to print two million copies!"
"Poof!"
Shang Xing almost vomited blood again.
What he calls multiple printing points means printing 700,000 to 800,000 copies. After all, it has already been published once.
There is a high probability that it will not sell one million copies the second time, but who knew this guy could sell two million copies!
Before Shang Xing could speak, Lu Kai explained his plan.
Shang Xing listened without saying anything for a while. This operation... is no problem.
If this is the case, maybe the sales volume will be higher than the first time.
This guy's mind has always been very clear!
"Okay, you can figure it out..."
Shang Xing didn't expect Lu Kai to dare to play such a big role, but it was a good strategy. This guy... it was really a bit humiliating to let him be the deputy editor-in-chief.
What a pity... This guy somehow figured it out.
Is Teacher An so charming?
After thinking about it like this, Shang Xing felt that it was not a big deal for Shang Xing to do this kind of thing of killing it first and telling it later. Moreover, he had a definite method, and two million copies did not seem to be a problem.
In fact, as long as he can sell more than a million copies, he can make a profit.
This kind of book is reprinted every year. What's the big deal?
The two chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone.
Lu Kai sat for a few minutes and then stood up to greet his assistant.
Go out and go to the factory!
He has to keep an eye on it and print it out as quickly as possible.
At five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the first edition of "Fortress Besieged" was sold out in all bookstores across the country.
Major bookstores in online shopping malls also show that they are out of stock.
This made everyone in an uproar.
Bai An, Chen Dan and others did not expect that "Fortress Besieged" would have such momentum, with sales exceeding one million copies in just two days.
Is this even a human being?
Over the years, everyone has been saying that physical books have been impacted by online e-books and their sales are not good. Except for textbooks, the sales of books in bookstores are not good.
What’s the result?
The sales of "Fortress Besieged" exceeded one million in two days. This is the first time in ten years that another novel has sold one million.
It is also the fastest novel in Xiazhou history to reach one million sales.
This craze has swept across, making many people who had not planned to read this book become curious.
I want to buy a copy and read it.
As a result...it was actually sold out?
Can you believe it’s sold out?
The harder it is to buy it, the more curious people become, and they want to read the whole book to see what’s so surprising about it.
Some people can find their friends’ books to read, but those who can’t find them are even more itchy.
At the same time, those who have read the book admire Enron.
If nothing else, this book is already the number one classic in many people’s minds.
In the entire Xiazhou, even if Chen Wenjun started writing again, he would not be able to write such a classic.
The number of followers on An Ran's Weibo increased by more than one million.
By this time, Enron's fans had reached 10.5 million, which is quite satisfactory among the Little Heavenly Kings, neither too many nor too few.
But his Weibo is definitely the liveliest.
No way, you may get bored after listening to a song a few times.
Watching a movie a few times is enough.
But "Fortress Besieged" is different. When readers read it, they read it slowly and chew it carefully, for fear of reading it too quickly and finishing it in one go.
Many netizens left messages under Anron Weibo.
"Teacher An, you have hurt me. After reading "Fortress Besieged", how do you want me to read other novels?"
"With all due respect, other novels are now garbage in my eyes!"
"Almost the entire article is a classic, and every sentence is full of witty words. Teacher An, please accept my respect."
"What should I do? What should I do? Where can I find such good-looking novels in the future? Teacher An, please tell me what to do..."
Countless people were wailing under Weibo.
Among them, there are many scholars and writers who have given this book extremely high praise.
Some people even say that this is Xiazhou's most exciting novel in the past twenty years.
It's said to be twenty years old, but it's actually Xia Zhou's best novel in modern times.
I said in Chaoyuanli that I have no respect for my seniors.
An Ran's popularity reached its peak at this moment, becoming the most popular writer in Xiazhou.
