Chapter 205 The physical book is on sale
Since having dinner with Wang Youcai that day, Chen Shi has been working hard to continue his business and typing life.
As the end of the month approaches, universities have started one after another, and some freshmen in colleges have begun to register.
Because the summer vacation is relatively late, the University of Science and Technology will not report to the 5th from September 3rd to the 5th, and will officially start school on the 6th.
At the end of August, Chen Shi spent a day, and Chen Shi took his lawyer and flew to the Shanghai Qihang Chinese Network Company, handed over the copyright of the two books, and signed a formal contract.
To avoid possible disputes in the future.
When we arrived at the Shihang, we met the editor-in-chief Xiaomi and the editor-in-chief Wushuang, as well as several senior executives and others.
Chen Shi's arrival is the legendary handsome guy in the starting lineup, and he is at the level of a star. It is really worthy of his name. Many editors took photos with him.
After Chen Shi finished his work, he returned to Rongcheng and had no time to visit Shanghai. The weather was too hot, so it was better to stay in the office.
Moreover, there are not many days before the planned physical book is released, so there are quite a few things to do.
Shenshi Culture Media commissioned five printing factories to print 50 million copies, and the work was carried out relatively smoothly.
Printing a book is not difficult. As long as you type it well, you can make it in one day.
Quietly, a few more days passed.
Several printing manufacturers have printed 6.3 million books as of the evening of August 31, and most of them have been shipped to designated warehouses, and most of them are either on the way or on the shipment.
Chen Shi Culture Media Company’s two flagship stores are named “Jiangnan Snow Night Book Store” after Chen Shi’s pen name, which is convenient for netizens to search.
On the tcat platform, Doupo is a billboard, and the Material Empire is another billboard.
If it is a competitive relationship, such as on a T-cat, two billboards of the same type cannot be hung.
For example, the Doupo billboard on the T-mao platform says "The most popular fantasy Doupo 1-10 undelete version, self-operated by the great god, the only genuine version is free shipping."
The home page of the online store billboard is marked with "official authenticity" and "self-operated by Jiangnan Snow Night Writer".
The original price of Doupo Ten Books is 250 yuan, a discount of 220 yuan, and free shipping.
The original price of the Ten Materials Empire Books is 250 yuan, a discount of 220 yuan, and free shipping. The original price of 20 volumes is 500 yuan, a discount of 435 yuan, and free shipping.
The purchase office has started the countdown to purchase: "It is officially sold in the early morning of September 1st!"
Pull down the billboard, and there are other books recommended in the store.
On the details of the treasure, the note stated "The top writer of the Starship master, the supreme master, the fantasy classic that must be read, and the passionate legend of the Doudi Xiao Yan"
"Please identify the Jiangnan Snow Night Book Store, and the rest appearing are illegally sold unofficially."
In this world, the supervision of cultural copyright is very strict and the punishment is too severe. Although there is no piracy, Chen Shi still asked the technician to indicate it on the advertising content.
I am most afraid of selling hot goods, so some merchants print and sell it themselves.
Chen Shi also announced the IP addresses and contents of the two flagship stores in Weibo and Doupo single chapters.
Shenshi Company, a computer room of about 100 square meters, only two high-end servers are placed specifically to operate two stores to facilitate the acquisition of backend data.
Today is Thursday, and the sale will be officially launched in the early morning of tomorrow Friday. It is already past 11 o'clock in the evening. Chen Shi, the deputy general manager of Culture Media Company, technicians, and customer service on night shifts are all there.
The first time I sold physical books online, not only was Vice President Yang Hanwen nervous, but Chen Shi was also nervous, and he was not sure.
Chen Shi still asked Yang Hanwen more: "Are you ready?"
Yang Hanwen said very seriously: "I have checked it several times, but the technology is fine. The customer service is already busy. Fortunately, there is a robot for help.
Boss, your fans are so fanatic that before the sale is officially launched, many people have started consulting.”
When talking about this, Yang Hanwen admired and smiled very much.
"Um."
Chen Shi nodded, smiled, and accepted happily.
These are the tens of thousands of loyal fans. If you open up the popularity of the shop, I wonder if the customer service is busy.
Seeing that there were more than ten minutes left, Chen Shi returned to the office to make a cup of coffee.
I came to the customer service office with a cup of coffee and saw five customer service staff working night shifts, occasionally typing on the keyboard to reply to customer questions.
Time flies quickly. As soon as Chen Shi arrived at the computer room, he heard a technician shouting.
"It's early morning, it's officially on sale!"
Sure enough, I saw that the background data did not change.
After waiting for a minute, I saw Doupo sold 25 sets, and Material Empire sold 13 sets, of which 8 sets were 20 volumes.
Chen Shi did not use gold fingers at this time, and most of the people who buy books now are fans.
Currently, Chen Shi has a total of 46,800 loyal fans!
Doupo collection has reached 1.6 million, and the total number of updated words has reached 1.42 million.
Chen Shi updated 20,000 words a day, and his daily sales have reached 760,000 yuan.
Due to the terrifying sales on the first and second day, the sales in August reached 30 million yuan. Chen Shi was able to get 21 million yuan in royalties from Doupo's book.
The material empire's manuscript fee is also 2.5 million yuan, and the old book porter's manuscript fee is 480,000 yuan.
Of course, the royalties have to wait for the third day before they come out. This is just a rough estimate of Chen Shi’s new subscriptions.
A total of 24 million yuan in royalties, excluding 11.2% tax, is also 21.31 million yuan.
When the manuscript fee is released the day after tomorrow, even if Chen Shi does not reveal the manuscript fee, Qi Hang will help him take it out and show it as a promotion.
From the sales of physical books in Doupo and Material Empire, we can guess the number of loyal fans purchased.
Generally, fans rarely buy physical books of the book "Empire". Among the 13 sets, Chen Shi estimated that one or two loyal fans could buy it, and the rest should be purchased by loyal fans.
After ten minutes, the background data will be refreshed.
Doupo sold 200 sets, and Material Empire sold 125 sets, of which 78 sets were 20 volumes.
At this rate, it is estimated that 2,000 sets of books can be sold in one hour, about 25,000 copies.
Yang Hanwen congratulated Chen Shi and said, "Boss, this is a very good result."
"Yeah, that's OK!" Chen Shi nodded, not a surprise or a bad one.
But he knew in his heart that he started selling faster, and that loyal fans accounted for a large proportion of them. In the later stage, loyal fans almost bought them, and the sales speed dropped significantly.
But even if the shop does not use gold fingers to cheat, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of books can be sold a day today.
I am very proud of this achievement.
But if you don’t sell the books, you will probably not be sold for 50 million books in a year.
Although you can sell hundreds of thousands of books without using gold fingers today, except for your loyal fans, it will be difficult to sell later.
Chen Shi thought for a while and decided to try the effect of opening a cheat and selling. Goldfinger soon had a subtitle prompt.
