Chapter 905 - Even Fang Qiu’s Fans Can’t Stand This Advertisement Anymore!
Chapter 905 Even Fang Qiu’s Fans Can’t Stand This Advertisement Anymore!
At noon the next day, Zhang Xingjie was finally relieved.
He finally made cooperation with all the printing factories after he and his staff spent the whole night visiting those factories.
On the way, he also carefully calculated that he would get 1.5 million copies printed in five days. 1.2 million copies of them would be sold online, while the remaining 300,000 copies would be sold in offline bookstores.
This time, with so many copies to be sold, he had really struck it rich.
After negotiating with all the printing factories and confirming that they would print 1.5 million copies in five days, Zhang Xingjie immediately transferred nine million yuan to Fang Qiu’s account without thinking.
The nine million yuan was the copyright royalty that Fang Qiu deserved, completely according to the contract.
After they paid for the copyright royalty and the printing fees, all the liquid capital of their publishing company was used, and they couldn’t even take out an extra penny.
This time, he wanted to make a big bet!
Although he had made a lot of money from the 500,000 copies that had been sold, he might not have such a good opportunity again in 10 years. In addition, the pre-order was such a success that he made up his mind to bet all his assets on the book.
Everything depended on whether the 700,000 copies would be sold out during the pre-order tonight.
Success or failure would all depend on this!
Fang Qiu saw the text message from the bank.
Finding that someone had transferred him nine million yuan, he was immediately stunned.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Zhang Xingjie.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
As soon as he got through, Zhang Xingjie said, “Mr. Fang, congratulations in advance. Your book will be the top seller of this year.”
“Thank you,” said Fang Qiu with a smile.
“By the way,” Zhang Xingjie added with a smile, “I transferred nine million yuan to your bank account just now. Your book is such a hit that I contacted several printing factories and prepared to print another 1.5 million copies first. The nine million yuan is the copyright royalty.”
“Got it.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I was wondering why I got nine million yuan. I didn’t expect that it was easy to make money by writing books. Plus the previous copyright royalty, I have got 13.5 million yuan from this book.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xingjie was suddenly speechless.
He thought to himself, “Easy to make money? Do you know the sales volume and royalty of the other writers?
“It’s okay if you think so.
“If you don’t make money, how can I make money?”
Zhang Xingjie changed the topic to tonight’s pre-order and said, “Now, the second round of pre-order is ready. I promised that it’s limited to 700,000 copies. Since 500,000 copies have been pre-ordered in the first round, to be honest, I don’t have much confidence in the second round. So, can you help me make an advertisement on your Weibo account?”
“You don’t have to worry about the advertisement. Some people will help us,” hearing Zhang Xingjie’s request, Fang Qiu said with a smile.
“Hmm?” Zhang Xingjie was stunned.
“Some people would help us?”
He thought about it carefully.
“Fang Qiu seemed to have built good relationships with many people in the entertainment industry, and now most of the buyers were his fans. Although using his Weibo account to advertise might have a good effect, the effect will be limited.
“If those who have a large number of fans in the entertainment industry are going to advertise, the effect would be completely different.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Xingjie was slightly relieved.
Xu Miaolin came to the gate of Holy Doctor Chu’s house in the northeast.
Before he entered the door, he glanced at the book in his hand and then walked in proudly. When he saw Holy Doctor Chu, he even snorted at him and went straight over.
“What are you doing here?” Holy Doctor Chu asked without raising his head.
“One of my students wrote a book recently. I came here especially to show it to you,” Xu Miaolin said with pride and then handed the book to Holy Doctor Chu.
Hearing this, Holy Doctor Chu glanced at Xu Miaolin and then reached out to take Fang Qiu’s book from Xu Miaolin’s hand. He opened it and read the first page, then the second page, and then… he was fascinated.
Standing in the room, Holy Doctor Chu held the book motionlessly and read it carefully page by page. He was totally immersed in reading the book and even forgot to sit down.
Seeing this, Xu Miaolin grinned silently, found a chair to sit down, and waited quietly for a few hours.
“Phew…”
A few hours later, Holy Doctor Chu let out a long breath and carefully made a mark on the page. Then he looked up at Xu Miaolin and asked, “Have you found the way?”
“Yes,” Xu Miaolin nodded with certainty and said. “Becoming a Holy Doctor is possible for me now!”
“Then why don’t you piss off?”
Holy Doctor Chu glared at him and immediately shouted, “Why are you still here?”
“Hee hee…”
Xu Miaolin was not afraid of Holy Doctor Chu’s pretended anger at all. Instead, he chuckled and said to him, “How is the book? Are you amazed?”
“Is my student awesome? As his teacher, am I awesome?” he asked.
“Ha-ha…”
He asked four questions in a row, tossed his head back, and laughed very happily.
Holy Doctor Chu was speechless.
He glared at Xu Miaolin fiercely and said, “Your talent is ordinary, but you found a good student.”
Then Holy Doctor Chu directly raised his hand and said, “Get out of here!”
Seeing that his father-in-law was going to make a move, Xu Miaolin immediately turned around and ran away, laughing triumphantly.
After Xu Miaolin left, Holy Doctor Chu then focused his attention on the book in his hand and said, “It’s… the blessing of Chinese Medicine!”
He quickly walked to the desk, sat down, opened the book, and continued to read it with relish.
From 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the evening, Liu Qingshi was the first one to write a post on his Weibo.
“Am I the first one to get Fang Qiu’s book? I’ve read it. If I have to appraise this book, I can only say one word: amazing!”
This post included a photo of the book sent to him by Fang Qiu.
It was obvious that he was showing off.
Then, Ying’er also wrote a post, “Master Fang’s new book is very interesting. Let’s support it!”
Gu Jianguo wrote a post, too. “I didn’t expect that Master Fang had another identity as a writer and that his literature accomplishment was so amazing. What’s more, the quality of this book is completely beyond my expectations. It’s a good book worth reading!”
A post from Zheng Weilian said, “New book from my good friend Fang Qiu. If you don’t buy it, you’ll suffer a loss. If you buy one, you can read it yourself and let your children read it! You can also pass it to your grandson or even your great-grandson…”
“This is a magical book. I was fascinated even if I don’t like reading books,” Zhang Junhe wrote in his post.
“It’s undeniable that this book has completely changed my view on Chinese Medicine. It’s a very good book. I declare that from today on, I am a huge Chinese Medicine fan.” Huang Huachao wrote in his post.
With those posts, even the official Weibo account of Run Wild&Survive had uploaded a photo to advertise Fang Qiu’s book!
At the same time, Song Yaqi wrote on her Weibo, “Thank you, Fang Qiu. When I needed help the most, you gave me this book. Then I miraculously cured my cold according to the prescription in this book!”
People started to comment when they saw this post.
“It’s so amazing?”
“That is to say, is Fang Qiu’s book a codex?”
“If that’s the case, it’s great. I also want to buy one. When I’m sick, I can buy medicine for myself without seeing a doctor.”
In less than half an hour, all the fans of those celebrities began to repost one after another, helping their idols advertise for Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu’s fans also left comments and thanks on these posts.
“Thank you for advertising for our idol, but you seem to have gone a little too far by saying that you cured your illness with the help of this book.”
As soon as this comment appeared, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.
“Haha… Even Fang Qiu’s fans can’t stand this advertisement anymore!”
“Haha…”
People left amusing comments one after another.
Fang Qiu was praised so much that even his fans felt embarrassed.
“What the f*ck!”
In Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company in the capital, Zhang Xingjie didn’t go home after work. He had been sitting in his office. When he saw the advertisements released by those big stars on Weibo, he was immediately shocked.
“The total number of these people’s fans is more than 100 million. It will produce a fantastic advertising effect.”
“Fang Qiu really helped a lot!”
Zhang Xingjie couldn’t help getting excited.
With so many stars advertising the book, he didn’t need to worry about the sales volume.
Even if half of those 700,000 copies were sold out during the second round of pre-order, it would be good. The rest would be sold out someday in the offline bookstore.
After checking out on Weibo, Zhang Xingjie immediately began to check the pre-order webpage of Dangran, waiting to see the result of the second round of pre-order.
At the same time, the major publishers in the publishing industry were also paying attention to the second round of pre-order on Dangran’s website.
Everyone was waiting to see if the pre-order would be as successful as the previous one and if Fang Qiu could stand out from other writers or not.
Everything depended on the pre-order tonight.
Soon, it was eight o’clock in the evening.
The second round of pre-order began!
In the office of Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company, Zhang Xingjie refreshed the pre-order webpage at once.
This time, Dangran was fully prepared and there was no problem with their website at all.
As soon as it was refreshed, the pre-order webpage appeared immediately.
Zhang Xingjie saw that above the pre-order button, there was a countdown timer of 700,000 copies.
The number began to jump rapidly as soon as the pre-order started.
Seeing this, Zhang Xingjie was excited at once.
“Oh my god… It is simply too fast!”
Zhang Xingjie found that tens of thousands of copies were ordered per second judging by the jumping number.
In the blink of an eye, there was only half of the 700,000 copies left.
Soon there were even fewer.
It lasted for three good minutes.
Zhang Xingjie was deeply immersed in excitement and agitation.
