Chapter 78: Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters
There has been no snow in Chengdu this year, but the weather is already cold enough.
Tan Kai walked out of his office, retracted his hands into his sleeves, leaving only two fingers holding a document, and walked quickly to Yang Xiao's office.
The president's office, which was usually open, had its door closed today. Tan Kai didn't want to knock on the door, so he shouted inside at the top of his lungs: "President Yang, are you there?"
"Here, come in."
Tan Kai looked at the door again, but had no choice but to reach out and touch the door handle, and was suddenly shocked by the stainless steel handle.
As soon as the others entered, Yang Xiao hurriedly shouted: "Close the door quickly, don't let the cool breeze come in."
Hearing this, Tan Kai quickly closed the door again, then looked up in the direction of the air conditioner, but it was not turned on.
The president's office is equipped with an air conditioner and an electric heater, but Yang Xiao is used to saving money and doesn't turn it on much. Even if it's too cold to affect her work, she will turn on an electric heater.
"Old Tan, what's the matter?" Yang Xiao put down his pen, rubbed his hands and asked.
Tan Kai smiled and handed the document in his hand to her, "Two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"Good news."
Tan Kai looked as if he had expected it. He had done this many times, and every time Yang Xiao chose the good news first, without exception.
"The good news is that we have received a lot of letters from readers in the past few days, and the volume of letters in the same period has far exceeded before."
"Where's the bad news?"
"The bad news is, most of these letters are coming to scold us."
"You're scolding us?" Yang Xiao looked at Tan Kai suspiciously, "Why do you think your expression doesn't sound like this?"
Tan Kai laughed and said: "Listen to me, these readers are indeed writing to criticize, but they are all criticizing the serialization of "Second World". While scolding, they also asked how many other issues of this novel can be
Serialization completed."
Yang Xiao also laughed, "Let me tell you, Lao Tan, you have such a smile on your face, there must be no bad news. Readers' reaction like this is obviously a sign that "Second World" has a good reputation. You should hurry up and get Yu Dong's
Once the special topic is made, strike while the iron is hot. In addition, we must always pay attention to the market conditions to ensure that we can continue to supply from this issue on."
Tan Kai nodded, he had also thought of what Yang Xiao said.
Serialization is a bit "bad", but it has many benefits. As long as the story is exciting enough, it can encourage readers to keep buying.
And it will not only affect the sales volume of subsequent periods, but also affect it backwards.
For example, if a reader buys the next issue first and sees the second part of "Second World", he or she may be tempted to move on to the first part.
In addition, if a bound volume is published in the future, it will be considered a starting point.
"Also." Yang Xiao seemed to have thought of something again, "Save more interactive pages in the next issue and select some gentle comments about "The Second World" to put in so that everyone can interact more around this novel.
.Readers also have a herd mentality, and seeing so many people reading this novel, they won’t want to miss it.”
"In addition, a lottery section will be added to the last page of the next issue. As long as you write a letter to comment on "Second World", you will have a chance to win a March issue of the magazine, a total of 100 copies."
"Is a hundred copies a bit too much?" Tan Kai asked.
Yang Xiao shook his head, "It's not much. If you give away these hundred copies, you will definitely gain more. Let's go long and catch big fish. Since we have already risked our lives, what else can we not let go? Besides, there is only one in each of these two issues.
Jinling should sell more than a hundred copies."
"Well, I conservatively estimate that one issue will sell an extra hundred copies. Yu Dong's appeal in their school is quite strong, which is a bit beyond my expectation."
Although there is no evidence that the extra sales were supported by Jinyi students, both Yang Xiao and Tan Kai believed so.
"I remember something else..." Yang Xiao scratched his chin and thought for a long time, and finally remembered: "Oh, by the way, the screenwriter from the United States you mentioned last time, is he in contact with Yu Dong?
,what's the result?"
Speaking of this, Tan Kai felt a little ashamed and said, "I didn't ask Yu Dong about this in my last letter."
"Hey, Lao Tan, how should I say good things to you? Why don't you care about this matter at all?" Yang Xiao sighed, "It's a pity that I wasn't here when he came last time, otherwise I would definitely follow him.
Chat with him. This is a rare opportunity. If "One Day" can really be made into a movie by a company in the United States, the impact will not be very small."
"This is indeed my fault. Mainly because I was thinking that the film and television adaptation rights of "One Day" were not in our hands, so I didn't have the nerve to talk more."
"Forget it, forget it, it's all over." Yang Xiao waved his hand, "Old Tan, please send a letter to Yu Dong in the next two days and ask how it turned out."
…
When Yu Dong read about the stock subscription certificate in the newspaper, there was only more than a week left before the official issuance. He counted the days and it happened to be after their school vacation, so he patiently handed over his work to the school first.
Finish it.
On January 19, after returning to Shanghai, he first went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on Hengfeng Road and bought 300 stock subscription warrants.
The purchasing process was easier than he imagined, because no one bought it at all. Instead, the bank staff had been selling it to customers who went to the bank to do other business.
The more they promote it, the less people dare to buy it.
After all, if you pay thirty yuan for a certificate, you may not win the lottery if you buy it. If you don’t win, the thirty yuan will be wasted.
Nowadays, most people's monthly salary is only one or two hundred yuan, and thirty yuan is already a considerable expenditure for an ordinary family.
So when Yu Dong asked to buy three hundred copies, the bank staff looked overjoyed and wished he could just let him take the certificate away without reading any information.
Yu Dong then bought a total of more than 8,000 subscription certificates at various other sales points.
Father Yu Hansheng saw his son running out as soon as he came home. He didn't take it seriously at first. After a few days, he couldn't help but asked Yu Dong: "Son, you go out every day. When you come back, go into the cupboard."
What are you doing tinkering with things?"
Yu Dong said to his father solemnly: "Your son's wife is already here, so you have to keep an eye on her for me."
When he heard that it was his son's wife's book, Yu Hansheng suddenly became very nervous, "What the hell, why is his wife's book involved?"
"The time has not come yet, so I can't say it yet. Anyway, Dad, please watch it for me and don't tell anyone else."
"Okay, I won't even tell your mother."
"That's not the case..."
"Why not? Your mother has a big mouth. If she knew about it, something bad would happen. Your cabinet is not safe and it is easy to see inside. I will get some books and put them on the outside to block them. It will be safe.
."
"I still think I shouldn't hide this from my mother..."
Yu Hansheng said categorically, "Listen to my son, he who achieves great things will not stick to trivial matters."
"..."
Yu Dong scratched his head and said hello to his mother who was standing at the door of the hall.
