Just after 8 o'clock on Christmas morning, Li Fan easily broke the sales record of the first day of the new book.

This does not require statistics, because the pre-sale of 890,000 yuan alone is enough to defeat the historical record of this book, not to mention that many people go to bookstores to buy it.

Of course, the reason for this is that compared with a few years ago, there are many more pre-sale channels for books now than before, and national online shopping has been completely cultivated in recent years. This is an objective condition that writers were far from having when publishing books.

In addition, Li Fan's pre-sales and publicity in the early stage of the release of the new book were extremely well done, so it is easy to understand that the sales volume on the first day far exceeded all the predecessors.

In a society with a very high degree of modernization, in the context of a lack of power in the book market and making it more self-reliant, Li Fan took advantage of the huge east wind.

On the first day of the new book sale, readers from large bookstores across the country went to buy it.

Nanjing Bookstore, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, just opened in the morning, and the 100 new books in the new book area were instantly sold out by readers in line. After replacing 100 books, they were sold out again within 20 minutes...

When hundreds of readers and friends lined up to buy the purchase, the sales speed of the new book slowed down, but before 11 a.m., all 500 books were sold out.

The main store of Xinhua Bookstore in Zhejiang Province, just after noon, the warehouse manager stared blankly at the inventory, and all 600 books were sold out!

Zhonglian City Book Building, 500 books, sold out!

Shanghai City 901 Bookstore, sold out!

All three major bookstores in Beijing have been sold out.

...

When the sun sets in the west and night falls, all major bookstores in the primary market across the country are sold out!

In addition to pre-sale of 890,000 copies, the "New Textual Research Works Collection" which was sold out in nearly 300 bookstores across the country's market for a total of 150,000 copies, was sold out in one day.

A drop in the bucket, the number of 150,000 books is a drop in the bucket!

That night, orders from all over the country fell into Giesen Press like snowflakes, and the staff in the office had to work for a long time tonight.

In the office, QQs with various avatars kept flashing, the phones on the desk kept ringing, and the huge space was noisy and enthusiastic:

"Are you sure you purchase another 2,000 copies? Uh, but at present we may only be able to send 1,000 copies first. OK, I'll register the information for you."

"Don't worry, we will arrange your order as soon as possible!"

...

The president, editor-in-chief, secretary and others stood at the door of the office and looked at the busy staff, and they whispered:

"We are currently only preparing stocks in big bookstores. If we don't count the pre-sale, we will sell 150,000 copies today, and we sold them out of stock early. We still underestimated Li Fan's market."

"We still have 450,000 books in stock. According to the normal market trend, book sales will continue to decline within a week. Our inventory will be fine before New Year's Day."

"Then how many more copies should we print?"

"Print another 1 million copies, and we will hold a meeting to study it later."

"Li Fan is so amazing. An academic work actually sold such an amazing brilliant achievement."

...

The marketing manager suddenly came over and said, "President, we have ordered 150,000 copies again, and there are still 300,000 copies in stock, so we can always move?"

"Don't worry, send 150,000 copies first!"

That night, the warehouse urgently transferred goods to various bookstores. Some bookstores received the goods the next morning, but the hundreds of books in each bookstore were sold out again that day.

...

Just after the early morning of Christmas evening, many netizens opened the official website of "People's Literature Publishing House" and stared at the list of [2018 Book Sales List], preparing to witness Li Fan's sales miracle. However, the name of Li Fan's works has not yet appeared on the list, and netizens left messages:

"What's the situation? Haven't the count yet?"

"This is a good statistics. All major bookstores across the country have sold out. Isn't it all over the shipment count just by counting the shipment volume?"

"Don't worry, everyone, the work efficiency of the official institutions has always been low. They may be on the list after ten days or half a month."

...

Netizens chatted in the comment section for about half an hour, and suddenly someone said: "Please note, Li Fan is on the list!"

After everyone refreshed the web page, they indeed saw Li Fan's book title on the ranking list.

[2018 Book Sales List]:

No. 1: "Falling into Ashes" (science fiction novel), with sales of 1.88 million copies.

No. 2: "Our Family" (Jinchuan novel), with sales of 1.2 million copies.

No. 3: "Rainbow" (prose), with sales of 1.1 million copies.

No. 4: "Golden Age" (Educated Youth Novel), with 1.03 million copies sold.

No. 5: "New Textual Research Works Collection" (Academic Works), to be counted.

...

Seeing this, everyone said:

"What is 'to be counted'?"

"Is it so difficult to count data? Can it be more efficient?"

"But Shuai Li is also amazing. He ranked fifth in just 'to wait for statistics'!"

...

The three words "to be counted" make some netizens unable to sleep, and they always feel excited and uneasy when they see the exact numbers appear.

Some netizens didn't sleep all night this night. After playing games, they refreshed the web page, or watched movies and browsed the web page. The anxious mood was similar to waiting for the game you like.

Until 3 a.m., the data on the [2018 Book Sales List] finally refreshed.

"New Textual Research Works Collection" sales volume: 1.04 million 6,824 books.

In a certain Internet cafe, a certain Internet bug slapped the table with a "snap" and said, "Awesome!"

Everyone who was playing the game turned around and dared not speak out.

...

In the bedroom of a certain family, the young woman who had just had a strong fight slapped her red knee excitedly, "You are so awesome!"

My husband leisurely spitted smoke rings: "My beloved concubine, I am a king!"

The young woman glanced at him: "You used to be a king."

...

Inside a dormitory in a middle school:

"Our seniors sold 1.04 million copies of their new books on the first day!"

"This is our role model and motivation!"

"My father is also a well-known writer. He only sold 100,000 books in two years."

"Then you should call now to comfort your uncle. Maybe he is squatting in the corner and crying."

...

The sense of smell of news media is always beyond the agility of ordinary people. As soon as the sales volume was released, several media followed suit. Various eye-catching news titles are flying around, which are extremely exaggerated.

"The whole country is shocked, and the sales of the new book set a record on the first day";

"Miracle, starting from the age of 18!"

"Treading all writers under your feet is Li Fan's era";

"Nothing can stop me, my yearning for Li Fan";

...

There are too many news editors nowadays, with different styles and uneven levels. There are many news that make people laugh and cry.

Some editors found that they were crazily praising Li Fan. They would definitely not have much traffic when writing like this, and then they embarked on the road of turning black or pouring cold water.

Then he was scolded by Li Fan's fans, but his leader patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Young man, your performance has been good recently, come on!"

...

The next morning, Li Fanhe's "New Collection of Textual Studies Works" completely occupied the number one hot searches on Baidu, the number one topic on Baidu, Weibo headlines, UG client headlines... and other major media, and the whole country of China was completely caught in hot discussion.

After all, more than 1 million copies were sold on the day of sales, which has never appeared in the history of China. Li Fan set a new record in the Chinese book market!

To be fair, among the 1 million sales volume, 890,000 copies were pre-sold in the first two months, and there was certainly unreasonableness to include this pre-selling sales volume in the total sales volume on the first day.

But, this is the most convenient place in this information age.

When Li Fan was signing for sale in Harbin City, many media had already blocked the door of Xinhua Bookstore. Li Fan was thinking about signing for sale and thinking about how to get out quickly.

He was in no mood to waste time with the media, sleepy, tired and exhausted. Now he just wanted to sign the sale and end soon, and then he would have a big sleep in the hotel and sleep in a dark and ignorant way!

When he returned to the hotel, he slept until 9 a.m. before getting up. He was still woken up by Zhang Xiaofei calling.

"Xiao Fei, is the reporter downstairs?"

"Brother Fan, aren't we secretly changing hotels!"

"I'm completely confused when I sleep!" Li Fan opened his eyes and said, "When I just spoke, I actually thought I was dreaming!"
