Strengthening and Upgrading the Opening God-level Options

Chapter 573 The Editor-in-Chief Was Surprised

Ye Xuan clearly remembered that "Douluo" on Earth in his previous life sold tens of millions of copies a year.

And "Douluo: Wuhun Continent" has been intensively refined, so it is far superior to the previous version in terms of plot, character design, language, etc. Therefore, Ye Xuan has reason to believe that the first volume of "Douluo: Wuhun Continent" will definitely sell Tens of millions of copies.

But for Chen Xiaofeng, five million copies is not a small amount. After all, the physical book market is slowly sluggish now. It is very impressive to sell one or two million copies of a published novel.

Now Ye Xuan actually suggested that they print five million copies, which shocked Chen Xiaofeng beyond belief.

"Ye Xuan, I think your suggestion is too risky, five million copies, you have to know that the physical book market is sluggish now, even if a super popular god publishes a book, it would be great to sell one or two million copies .”

"Starting with five million copies, I think the risk is too great." Chen Xiaofeng said in a deep voice.

Chen Xiaofeng has been the editor-in-chief of Jiangcheng People's Publishing House for so long, so of course she knows what the current publishing market is like. In addition, this time the publication is a novel, and it is a very straightforward novel, so the risk is too great.

"Editor Chen, what is your price this time?" Ye Xuan asked.

"According to our research and discussion, since there are only luxury editions this time, the price is 50 yuan per volume." Chen Xiaofeng said.

"Price directly at 100 yuan per volume." Ye Xuan suggested.

Just kidding, this "Douluo: Wuhun Continent" has been systematically refined, and the content inside is very exciting, plus the blessing of the super popular pen name Shikouxuan, and it is also a luxury package, 50 yuan a volume The pricing is really cheap.

"Eh." Chen Xiaofeng was shocked by Ye Xuan's words again.

"Ye Xuan, your pricing is simply too crazy. It is impossible for readers to spend 100 yuan to buy a novel. Usually, a novel is priced at 20 yuan per volume. Now we price 50 yuan per volume, which is very high. risk."

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, please convey my opinion to Editor-in-Chief Huang, and say that "Douluo: Wuhun Continent" will be priced at 100 yuan a copy, and another 5 million copies will be printed directly."

"If the sales of "Douluo: Wuhun Continent" are not satisfactory, I will pay for the remaining stock and buy it directly. I will definitely not let Jiangcheng People's Publishing House lose money." Ye Xuan said very domineeringly.

"But I also have a request, that is, Jiangcheng People's Publishing House must use all resources to distribute and publicize."

"Ye Xuan, are you joking?" Chen Xiaofeng exclaimed immediately after hearing this.

For example, if the novel sells 1 million copies, the remaining 4 million copies would be tens of millions even if calculated at the cost price.

"Editor Chen, I'm not joking. We can sign a contract. Once the sales of "Douluo: Wuhun Dalu" are not satisfactory, I will pay for the remaining inventory." Ye Xuan said.

"Okay, I need to discuss this matter with Editor-in-Chief Huang before I can give you an answer." Chen Xiaofeng said after being silent for a while.

"OK."

Soon the two ended the call. Chen Xiaofeng looked at the mobile phone in her hand with a serious expression on her face. To be honest, she was really shocked by Ye Xuan's words. It was because of how confident she was in her novel that she dared to do so. Do.

Chen Xiaofeng has worked in this industry for so long, she has never seen a novel that sold more than five million copies a year.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, go talk to Editor-in-Chief Huang about it tomorrow morning." Chen Xiaofeng said, and then walked into her room.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chen Xiaofeng went directly to the company. Once at the company, Chen Xiaofeng knocked on the door and walked into Huang Qiang's office.

"Editor Huang, are you busy?" Chen Xiaofeng said.

"Not busy, Xiaofeng, what's the matter with you?" Huang Qiang said with a smile.

"Well, I came to you to discuss about Ye Xuan's new book. He requested that the name of the novel be changed to "Douluo Zhiwuhun Continent". The second is the price of this novel and the number of prints." Chen Xiaofeng said.

"It's not a problem to change the name, but haven't we discussed the pricing and printing quantity of this novel before?"

"Fifty yuan a copy, and try printing 500,000 copies first." Huang Qiang looked at Chen Xiaofeng and said.

"Last night, I communicated with Ye Xuan about this matter, and he said that our price is too low, and he said that we will set a price of 100 yuan per copy." Chen Xiaofeng said.

"What? One hundred yuan a book, did I hear you right?" Huang Qiang was startled when he heard that, and stared at Chen Xiaofeng blankly, "One hundred yuan a book is really too high."

"Most novels are published at 20 yuan a volume, 50 yuan a volume is based on the fan base, but 100 yuan a volume, to be honest, I haven't seen anyone who dares to do that of."

"This Ye Xuan is really too idealistic. I guess he doesn't understand the situation of the novel publishing market at all, otherwise he definitely wouldn't say that."

"Editor Huang, and Ye Xuan also said that this novel will start printing at 5 million copies, and he said that the 500,000 copies are just a joke." Chen Xiaofeng said.

"Well!"

When Huang Qiang heard this, his eyes widened immediately, his face and eyes were full of shock, and he was greatly shocked in his heart.

"My God, is this Ye Xuan crazy? Starting with five million copies, the risk is too great, it is too great."

"I've been in this industry for so long, and I don't have a single novel that sells more than 5 million copies a year, and the best one is 2 million copies. This is already insane."

"Now Ye Xuan actually asks us to print 5 million copies directly, and the price is still 100 yuan a copy. This is really crazy and terrifying."

Five million copies are based on one hundred yuan per copy, which directly equals sales of 500 million. This is a very scary concept.

The annual sales performance of the entire Jiangcheng People's Publishing House is less than 500 million, so after Huang Qiang heard what Chen Xiaofeng said, he was really shocked.

"Xiaofeng, this Ye Xuan is not a person in this industry. It is normal for him to be unprofessional. We can understand it, but as professionals in this industry, we must not be stupid. The risk is too great."

"If the sales performance is not satisfactory, the remaining inventory will be a terrifying amount even if calculated at the cost price. Maybe our Jiangcheng People's Publishing House will go bankrupt because of this." Huang Qiang said with a heavy tone.

As the editor-in-chief of Jiangcheng People's Publishing House, Huang Qiang must consider the interests of the publishing house. He would not agree to such a risky move.

"Xiaofeng, you can communicate with Ye Xuan later and tell him the actual situation, and if this novel sells well, we will definitely print more." Huang Qiang said.
