Li Fan came to United Bookstore accompanied by the editor-in-chief of Jisen Publishing House.

At this time, the entire floor of the 7th floor was closed, and a sign "Not staff are allowed to enter" was placed at the entrance of the stairs.

Everyone walked up the stairs to the 7th floor, but saw that most of the entire floor had been cleared.

The stage has been built, some staff are moving chairs, some are debugging microphones, and some are posting posters... The employees on the entire floor are busy and orderly. When everyone saw Li Fan appear, they said:

"Teacher Li, I wish you a great success in your new book!"

"Teacher Li, you are so awesome. For the first time, I heard that the new book has not yet started selling, and the pre-sale has reached more than 80,000 copies!"

"That's right, it will be on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow. You will be one of the top 10 physical books of this year!"

Indeed, after two months of pre-sales, major bookstores across the country, online bookstores, and Giesen Press, the cumulative pre-sale of "New Textual Study Works Collection" has reached 890,000 copies.

What is the concept of 890,000 books?

Today, when paper books are gradually declining or even gradually becoming marginalized in history, if many physical book writers have a cumulative sales of 20,000 books in a single book within a year, the sales of this book will be very phenomenal. If they can reach 30,000 books, it will be a very awesome existence.

The world was so fast that we went back for more than 10 years. At that time, physical books were still very popular, and even the Internet was stolen into books at that time. Then many students hid in the corner of the classroom holding the "big books" with the same thickness as the Xinhua Dictionary.

It was an era when paper books were used as the carrier.

In the blink of an eye, 2o18 years have arrived. In just a few years, the world has completely changed!

All kinds of genius idol writers who called the wind and rain back then have now gone to make movies and some have invested, but no one has written books and they have no mood to sell their feelings.

In the Chinese Book Market, "People's Literature Publishing House" conducts an ultimate statistics on the sales of physical books every year. On the official website, only four books currently have sales of over one million this year.

The best-selling book this year is called "Falling into Ashes", a very awesome science fiction work and a divine book that foreign presidents "urge to update". Of course, this is not an online work, but a purely work of literary masterpieces.

This book met with the public at the end of 2o17, and won an international award in 2o18, with numerous reputations.

What is worthy of the sales of this book? 1.88 million domestically. (The English version sells 1.15 million internationally.)

The second place is "Our Family", with an annual sales of 120,000 copies.

Third place: "Rainbow", a popular foreign work with an annual sales of 110,000 copies. Once it was released, it has received numerous praises.

Fourth place: "Golden Age", with annual sales of 103,000 copies.

The fifth place has only 350,000 copies sold annually, and the sixth place has 30,000 copies sold annually...

(Note: Some special books such as textbooks are not included in the statistics.)

The cliff-like phenomenon of book sales shows many problems and shows the desolation of the publishing industry.

Li Fan's book "New Collection of Textual Studies Works" has not yet been sold, and he has already booked the fifth place in the top 1o book sales this year in advance, and there is no one else.

The editor-in-chief said: "Now, basically all media have arrived in our Chuncheng. We will start selling in our Chuncheng tomorrow and will definitely make a good start!"

"How much do we have in stock now?" Li Fan asked.

The female assistant said: "We have printed 150,000 copies, and there are 60,000 copies in addition to pre-sales. Please rest assured that the whole country has sufficient supply!"

After understanding the detailed process and talking about some details, Li Fan and others came with a big shot, Wang Han, a famous host in China.

Wang Han had already flew to Chuncheng. After landing, he called Li Fan and said he was rushing to the city.

The place where the two met was downstairs of United Book City.

Through the window, Li Fan saw a middle-aged man wearing retro gold-wire glasses wearing a long down jacket. He shrank his neck and walked quickly into the United Book City.

"Brother Han, go upstairs."

Wang Han trembled and said, "This Northeast is too cold, dry and cold!"

"Brother Han quickly go upstairs to warm up and come with me."

Wang Han followed Li Fan to the 7th floor of United Bookstore. After he exchanged greetings with the leaders of Giesen Publishing House and United Bookstore, he looked at the entire floor and exclaimed: "What a large scale!"

The media seats alone leave a huge space, and posters posted around the walls are written with various eye-catching slogans, such as "A total of 890,000 copies are pre-sold, who else?" "Idols who can't write articles are not called real idols" and so on.

This slogan is a bit out of place and is very inconsistent with the content of the book.

Li Fan was also a little embarrassed when he saw these posters. He said, "I laughed, everyone is so proud of me."

"No! From the perspective of historical exhibitions, it is normal to have a few times larger scale."

After chatting for a while, Wang Han said he wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, and he was a little tired.

How could Li Fan let him go to a hotel? He is the host!

"Brother Han, come home with me, just don't think that my family is too small and shabby."

"Is there a place at home that allows me to stay?"

"Yes, let's go home!"

There are three bedrooms and one living room, and you can get it by squeezing it. Wang Han has a room, Xiao Fei, a jelly room, and a parents have a room, and you can sleep in the sand by yourself. Isn’t that right?

When the two of them returned home, they found another wave of people coming from the living room.

This time, they were not the leader, they were all Li Fan's classmates. After everyone knew that Li Fan had returned home, they came to cheer him in groups, but when the students saw that Wang Han was coming, they were inconvenient to disturb him, so they chatted with Li Fan for a while and then said goodbye.

"Li Fan, the new book is selling well!"

"If you don't sell the Top 1, you have to wear us women's clothing, do you hear it?"

"Come on, the reputation of our entire No. 19 Middle School depends on you to support us!"

...

After seeing off his classmate, Li Fan took him to the door, and he found that Wang Han was sweating.

"Oh, your room is too hot."

"That's Brother Han, you wear a lot. If you take off your cotton pants, just wear single pants. For otaku, winter in Chuncheng is more comfortable than summer. If you don't go out anyway, there is just no fresh air!"

Wang Han took off his thick cotton pants and walked back into the living room, he said in confusion: "Where is your sister?"

Li Fan also asked: "Yes, where did my sister go to play?"

"I went to the teacher's house, your father sent it."

Li Fan was helpless, "You forced her to study again."

"It was she who wanted to go by herself, she took the initiative!"

Li Fan said: "Don't tease me, mom, don't force jelly to learn this and that, it's not what she should bear at her age."

"Other children learn, can our children do it if they don't learn? Are they not behind? Aren't they losing at the starting line?"

Li Fan shook his head: "Starting line? Where is there any starting line in life? Who stipulates the starting line, which is hyped up by educational institutions. Our Chinese education is too deformed. Brother Han, are you right?"

Wang Han said: "Everyone knows that education is abnormal, but this is the national condition, there is no way."

...

My family was chatting, and all parts of China were already busy.

890,000 new books were booked. When major online stores received the goods in the past two days, they packed them and prepared to deliver them.

When each bookstore was just closed, it immediately placed the books in the most visible position and placed the prepared billboard outside the door, preparing to open on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Especially Chuncheng United Bookstore, as soon as the bookstore closed at night, the electronic billboard was continuously played on the detailed information and precautions of the new bookmarking and sales meeting tomorrow morning.

United Book City is located in the heart of the city center and is the largest book city in Giesen Province.

Citizens shopping in the commercial area will stop and watch and discuss with each other.

It’s strange that there are basically no well-known writers in Giesen Province, and there have been no such thing in recent decades. Not to mention physical writers, even online authors, Giesen Province is not common.

So it can be imagined that Chuncheng City has a writer who ranked in the top 10 sales volume by just pre-sales. The popularity of this topic is not only a local, but also Li Fan.

"I really don't dare to think that our Chuncheng can produce great writers!"

"City Light, absolute city light!"

"I heard that Tianjisen TV, Urban Channel, Chuncheng 1, 2, etc. will come to report on the spot."

...

"Li Fan's bunker is here! Who did you pre-order it?"

"I didn't pre-order, and I couldn't understand it, so I bought it."

"Can she understand?"

"Bad! If she wants to understand, she can choose me as her boyfriend? She is purely supporting Li Fan!"

...

"Will you buy it tomorrow?"

"Buy it, I won't read it, buy it for my son! Put the book on that and tell him that this is his life goal. If you don't study, you'll cut him down!"

...

The night is getting deeper.

Outside the Gate of United Book City, pedestrians gradually became rare. When the shops closed, the lights had already fallen, and good night in the Spring City.

Outside the gate of Lianhe Book City, four students suddenly came, all around 15 years old, three women and one man.
