Chapter 81 Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms(1/3)
the next day.
Xingcheng Publishing House's stock price opened five points lower.
This time, the emotions of investors have really broken down.
Xingcheng Publishing House.
Everyone's faces looked ugly.
As the first stock in three years, Xingcheng Publishing House has broken its issue price on the first day of listing.
It is a shame to open lower again today.
The employees who came to work early were already chatting in a low voice in the office.
"Yesterday's company's stock was really like a roller coaster ride! It's scary!"
"I don't understand why I didn't cooperate with Qi Yuan anyway? It's been so pleasant all the time! It's like a brainless person!"
"The main reason is Qi Yuan's value. For our publishing house, it is not that high, right? We are now the largest publishing house in the country. Basically, all writers, whether in our own country or abroad, are the first choice for publishing books. Our Xingcheng Publishing House is already here."
"You don't understand at all! Our publishing house is actually just a shell, and the Star City Group behind it is the key! Our parent company has always wanted to go public, but over the years, due to many policy restrictions, it has not been successful. So..."
"So, you seem to be listing in our publishing house, but in fact it is our parent company behind us, which is listing through backdoors. Put your heart in mind. The company's market value in the future will definitely exceed 100 billion!"
Morning meeting.
Liao Yuan looked at everyone and clapped his hands and said, "Actually, the company's stock price has nothing to do with us. Don't forget our duty. We are just a publishing house. Hurry up and count the sales of our new book listing."
Liao Yuan's light words comforted everyone.
He actually heard about many employees' private discussions about why they didn't cooperate with Qi Yuan.
As the future successor of the largest unicorn Star City Group in China, his vision is not limited to this small Star City Publishing House.
It's noon.
The first-day sales of works by more than 100 foreign writers from Xingcheng Publishing House have come out.
The total amount has exceeded 15 million copies.
Just looking at this number, it seems to be very good.
but.
This is the cumulative sales of works by more than 100 famous foreign writers on the first day.
If it is average, each book will actually be sold by more than 100,000 yuan.
This number is very wide!
At the first glance of seeing this number, Liao Yuan's brows frowned tightly.
He couldn't believe it.
I even asked my secretary three times, and all I got was this answer.
He looked at the data in his hand and said word by word: "It's unreasonable. We have a market share of 70%. We have cooperated with more than 5,000 bookstores on the market. So many books have sold this little?"
Everyone in the conference room dared not speak.
The next day.
The cumulative sales of new books by Xingcheng Publishing House exceeded 20 million.
In other words, yesterday's daily addition was only 5 million copies.
This can no longer be described as insufficient stamina.
This is simply a failure!
night.
Star City Group Headquarters.
Liao Yuanli stood in front of the shareholders with a blue face.
"Liao Yuan, you are President Liao's son, and you should have obtained the true teachings of President Liao! But look at the homework you handed over? The stock price broke the issue price on the first day, and I bought so many books with a lot of money, and that's the final sales?"
"It's not me that I'm talking about it. Xiaoyuan's nephew is still a little young. Our situation shouldn't have developed into this way."
"Actually, we don't care about the value of Xingcheng Publishing House, but in the future, our group will need to do a lot of things through our listed subsidiary. So its stock price, as well as investors' confidence in its growth, and are very important."
The shareholders of Xingcheng Group said nothing to give Liao Yuan face.
But what can he do?
Still can only bear it silently.
On Weibo.
Under the official microblog of Xingcheng Publishing House.
After announcing the news of its listing in a high-profile manner, it has not released any more news.
In the past, every time a new book was released, it would update sales in real time.
But this time, this official Weibo account is like dead.
Netizens, especially Qi Yuan's fans, ran to the official Weibo and became sarcastic.
"What's going on? It's been a few days since then? Why haven't the sales of the new book been announced yet? Could it be that none of them were sold?"
"Haha! I just said you are trying to die, right? Qi Yuan is comparable to those foreign writers? What about the brain? Foreign writers, you can say that they are very popular in their own country, but how can they be so highly accepted in our China?"
"I heard that in order to go public, President Liao sent his son to Xingcheng Publishing House to gilt? Now I want to ask, what do President Liao's son, who saw the sales volume and the stock price at this moment, feel?"
"What do you think? What else can I think? Of course, I hope Qi Yuan's new book sales will fail! Otherwise, where will I put my face?"
"Hahaha, oh, I'm so laughing! I just like watching netizens whip the corpse!"
...
Galaxy Publishing House.
Previously, because Qi Yuan released "Journey to the West", this publisher actually secretly competed with Xingcheng Publishing House on the Internet.
They came to the conclusion at that time.
It’s not that they are worse than Xingcheng Publishing House itself.
Even the Galaxy is much stronger than Star City.
But why has Galaxy Publishing House been getting farther and farther in recent years?
It is because of Xingcheng Publishing House that there is a man named Qi Yuan.
When the news of Qi Yuan and Xingcheng Publishing House termination reached Galaxy Publishing House, the first reaction of the senior executives of the entire publishing house was that they could not believe it.
After repeatedly confirming the truth of the matter, their reaction was ecstasy.
Then, they contacted the weekend as fast as possible.
With the best sincerity - 30% royalty, he signed a publication agreement with Qi Yuan for the 5,000-year series "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and Two Songs".
At present, with the release of Xingcheng Publishing House, the sales of new books are not good.
The entire Galaxy Publishing House seemed a little expectant and nervous.
"Tomorrow is the first day of Qi Yuan's new book launch. Everyone confirms again. Are you ready for what you should make?" Zhang Hao from the editorial department and Galaxy Publishing House said as he looked at everyone.
"Editor-in-chief, don't worry. The major bookstores we have cooperated with now, Qi Yuanxin's products are all full."
"We don't have to worry about sales at all. Major bookstores, and even many bookstores that have not cooperated with us before, have come to order Qi Yuan's new books!"
"Qi Yuan is really awesome!"
"At present, our order volume has exceeded 50 million copies!"
"I don't know how many copies you can sell tomorrow, the first day!"
"On the Xingcheng Publishing House, more than 100 foreign writers sold 15 million copies of the works on the first day. This number is very powerful!"
"Don't compare Qi Yuan with so many writers alone!" Liao Yuan said happily, "It would be great to have a sales of five million tomorrow!"
The whole Galaxy Publishing House was in a happy mood.
For the first time, they felt the happiness that only Xingcheng Publishing House could feel before.
Although the new book is not available yet.
However, judging from the orders from major bookstores, the sales volume of this book exceeded 50 million, which seems to be just a matter of time.
the next day.
Qi Yuan's new book is on the market as scheduled.
...
The long-awaited new book of Qi Yuan has finally been launched!
Shi Tou sat at home and got the physical book as soon as possible.
Shi Tou doesn't care about the so-called grudges between Qi Yuan and Xingcheng Publishing House.
