Chapter 121
Yang Rou thought she had a pretty good hand speed, the best proof of this was that she always managed to grab the limited edition items in a large-scale online dating game. She had seen her idol’s Weibo post saying that the pre-sale of this magazine was limited to 10,000 copies and would come with a large poster. When she clicked on the large picture attached to the Weibo post, she was immediately attracted to him. I was going to buy the magazine anyway, and now that I have this poster, I’m even more eager to buy it. But when she saw the limited edition number, she felt something was wrong. Ten thousand may sound like a lot, but it is nothing compared to the huge fan base.
But she is still quite confident in herself.
We have made all the necessary preparations and are just waiting for 3pm on January 15th.
Then……
It's all tears. I watched helplessly as ten thousand books were sold out in two seconds, and she was not one of the ten thousand.
She was so angry that she rolled around on the bed for a few times and felt a little dizzy. She closed her eyes and shook them a few times, then picked up her phone and called the magazine company, asking for a restock!
God helps those who work hard. Thanks to the efforts of her and her allies whose names and genders are unknown, the magazine company agreed to restock and ship another 10,000 copies. For some reason, Yang Rou suddenly felt a little scared of the number ten thousand.
Going through the previous preparations again, I felt like I was doing it with ease. Everything is ready, just waiting for six o'clock in the afternoon.
She counted the seconds clock, three, two, one, refreshing the page before the numbers changed and clicking the buy button.
"Please please please!" she kept muttering.
After a two-second pause, she successfully jumped to the purchase page, which proved that she was successful.
“Hahahahahahahaha!” A string of horrible laughter came out from the crack of the door, startling Mother Yang who was watching TV in the living room. Her hand trembled and the remote control fell. After two seconds, she came to her senses and didn’t even pick it up. She stood up angrily and ran straight to her daughter’s room, banging on the door, “Yang Xiaorou, what are you doing crazy again!”
"...I'm just a little too happy." Yang Rou shrank her neck, and after completing the payment, she threw herself on the bed, rolling around with joy this time.
And there are many people like her at this moment.
Victor Magazine.
Xiao Yang leaned back in his chair, looking paralyzed. He patted his chest with one hand and stared at Xiao Huang. "Huang Qing, if you do this two more times, my life might be in your hands!"
Huang Qing knew he was in the wrong and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm wrong, Brother Yang, how about I treat you to a meal later?"
"I accept your apology!"
"Okay, let's focus on this now!" Huang Qing pointed at the computer screen, "Almost two minutes have passed, let's take a look at the sales volume!" This is what she really cares about.
Xiao Yang sat up straight, using one hand on the mouse and the other hand on the keyboard to refresh the page. He glanced at the number and saw that the second digit of the number starting with six was five. "Not bad, almost three thousand five hundred sold. I think they will be sold out by tonight." He paused and continued, "I really didn't expect it. When Ann asked him to sell it at the beginning of the year + anniversary, many people opposed it."
Huang Qing looked at the page and sighed, "I'm fine, not too surprised. How should I put it, when I first saw his debut work, I had a hunch that this person would definitely become popular, not only because of that foul face, but also because of his temperament. Those eyes are so spiritual, as if they can speak! The feeling between a teenager and a young man is so attractive! I'm not exaggerating. If I met a boy like this when I was in school, I would definitely fall into his trap and couldn't get out! It's the same now!"
"Speaking of sales, the first pre-sale sold ten thousand in two seconds. The second pre-sale was a bit rushed, and it sold three thousand five hundred in two minutes, which broke the record... Wait!" Huang Qing felt something was wrong as he spoke, and squinted his eyes to look carefully at the screen.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yang turned his head to look at her, only to see her pointing at the sales figures with her slender index finger, her nails carefully painted with patterns, "Tens, hundreds, millions, tens of millions... a hundred thousand? Holy shit! Brother Yang, this is going to go to heaven!"
Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard that, and then he quickly reacted, "One hundred thousand?" He even stuttered a little, and quickly moved closer to take a look, and sure enough, there were five zeros after the number instead of four. This means that the pre-sale price of the magazine for two minutes is not 3,500 but 35,000...
This is not about breaking the record, it's clearly about going to the sky as Huang Qing said!
"Editor-in-chief, something terrible has happened!" Xiao Yang howled towards the office, his voice echoing in the empty space.
The editor-in-chief in the office was leisurely making tea. He was frightened by the sound and his hands shook so much that he almost dropped the tea set he had bought at great expense. He carefully put down the things in his hand, took a deep breath, then stood up suddenly, pulled out the chair, walked around the desk and went outside, shouting as he walked, "I'm fine! But I don't know if you are fine!"
The editor-in-chief is neither fat nor thin, but when he walks, he looks like a 200-pound fat man whose ground shakes when he stomps his feet. He walked all the way to Xiao Yang's desk, put his hands on his hips, and looked ferocious. "I'll give you two seconds to explain your mistake!"
By this time, Xiao Yang had figured out why there was an extra zero. It was because Huang Qing scared her just now that she accidentally touched the keyboard a few more times and accidentally added a number. However, he was a man of integrity and did not betray Huang Qing. "I just accidentally added an extra zero to the end of the overnight restock, making it 100,000 copies!"
"Is this a big deal... What did you say just now?! I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?!" The editor-in-chief's eyes widened.
Xiao Yang repeated it again.
The editor-in-chief looked like he wanted to eat him alive, "I think I should ask HR to add an extra zero when they deduct your salary, what do you think?!"
"Editor-in-chief, listen to me. I have parents and children who depend on my meager salary to make a living! And even though I added an extra zero, I sold a lot. Thirty-five thousand in two minutes, editor-in-chief!"
The editor was almost convinced by him, but then he thought, "This is a pre-sale! Did you know that they will give away big posters?! Don't posters cost money? Thirty-five thousand copies!"
Xiao Yang looked like he was ready to die bravely. "Then you can deduct the normal amount. Don't add an extra zero, otherwise I will lose control and hang myself at the door of the company..."
"If you don't transfer it back to me quickly, I will really deduct your money!"
"receive!"
In fact, fans quickly realized that the restocking data was wrong because the products were selling too slowly. Ten thousand turning into one hundred thousand is like pie in the sky. Some fans clicked to buy again without hesitation. So when Xiao Yang started to remedy the situation, sales increased by another 8,000, bringing the total to 43,000. The editor-in-chief made the decision and rounded the number up to forty-five thousand.
The remaining two thousand were quickly swept away.
Not everyone has the time to wait and grab the products, and those who are unlucky enough to arrive late will wail in the comment section and beg for restocking three times.
"Dream on!" the editor gritted his teeth.
"Ding-ling-ling~~~" the office phone rang. Huang Qing subconsciously wanted to answer the call, but was stopped by the editor-in-chief, "Why answer the call after work? We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's go!"
Huang Qing and Xiao Yang stared at each other, and after a moment of silence, they shrugged and spread their hands, "Since the boss has said so, let's go home. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Eat you till you're broke!"
Jing Ling’s first cover, the magazine was opened for pre-sale for less than half a day, and it was restocked twice. The first time, 10,000 copies were sold out in two seconds. The second time, due to an operational error by the magazine, the number increased tenfold. Although an emergency remedy was taken in the end to reduce the number, 45,000 copies were sold, for a total of 55,000. When this number came out, the industry was shocked. Those who had been trying to stir up trouble and criticize black people in the forum seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and the special thread was rarely harmonious.
I searched for magazines and resold them. The original price was twenty-five per copy, but I raised the price to one hundred per copy, but there was still no demand.
Everyone had a new understanding of the purchasing power of Jing Ling's fans.
But later in the conversation, the topic changed. From marveling at the strong purchasing power of fans, to speculating on the ratings of "Jiang Shan Fu". This is Jing Ling's first TV series to be broadcast on satellite TV. It is definitely a drama with a male lead. Except for him, it can be said that all the other characters are transparent, so of course he has to carry the ratings.
Yes, his fans have strong purchasing power and are willing to spend money, so what? The ratings have a very large base, and fans can't make much of a splash; the key still depends on passers-by.
However, the TV series is still being filmed and there is still some time before it is completed, not to mention when it will be broadcast. It is too early to say anything about it now.
January 30th is New Year’s Eve, and January 31st is the New Year.
Shuangshan Town where Yunshu is located will not have a holiday until the 29th. However, on the 29th, there were not many people who really stayed at their posts. If you walked around the offices, you would find that at least half of the people had left.
Early that morning, Yunshu suddenly received a strange phone call. There was a slightly old voice on the other end of the phone, as if the voice was afraid of something. It pinched its throat and whispered to her that it had something important to tell her, but it refused to say it over the phone, saying that it couldn't be explained over the phone and that they had to talk in person. Finally, it left an address and asked her to go there.
After hanging up the phone, Yunshu stared at the screen for a while, finally gritted his teeth, put on his coat, picked up his bag, and went out.
