Unknowingly, it was already the 26th. Today was the first day that the simplified version of " Chu Liuxiang " was released nationwide.
On this day, the staff and boss of Tianya Publishing Firm were nervously waiting for today's sales record. If the simplified version of Chu Liuxiang's novel was successful, it would be of great significance to Tianyang Publishing Firm, which had just opened for business.
Compared to Tianya Press, there were two other people who were more concerned about the release of Chu Liuxiang than Tianya Press.
These two people were Zhao Huan, the chief editor of the Singularity website, and He Zhijie from Xuanhua Press.
During this period of time, due to Tianya Publishing Firm's deliberate actions, the specific reason for the closure of Chu Liuxiang had long been exposed on the Internet.
The huge pressure from the fishing vessel had severely affected the reputation of the Singularity website and Xuanhua Press. Both Zhao Huan and He Zhijie received a warning from the higher-ups.
However, both of them knew that this matter was not over.
The two of them had caused a huge impact on their respective companies. The reason why they had only given a warning and not punished them was that the higher-ups were also waiting for the results of the release of Chu Liuxiang's novel.
If the final sales of the novel were a mess or mediocre, the punishment that fell on the two of them in the end would not matter.
However, if Chu Liuxiang's sales were outstanding, then both Zhao Huan and He Zhijie would face great anger. It was even possible that the two of them would lose their jobs because of this.
Time continued to pass. In the office, the number of cigarette butts in front of Zhao Huan and He Zhijie continued to increase. A solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire office, making it difficult for the two of them to breathe.
In fact, both Zhao Huan and He Zhijie knew that Yang Ye's Chu Liuxiang was of the highest quality in terms of character and plot description. No other wuxia novel could compare to it.
Moreover, in Chu Liuxiang, there was no cliché cliché of the past, monotonous fighting and killing. All kinds of fighting scenes were described extremely vividly and dazzlingly.
In this book, it also combined martial arts and detective into one, instantly raising the charm of the entire novel by several levels. Yang Ye said that the style of martial arts and detective in Chu Liuxiang could be considered the first work of all martial arts novels.
With all these advantages, Chu Liuxiang's popularity was destined. Otherwise, He Zhijie would not have used all his methods to snatch it from Yang Ye.
Now, the two of them still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts because Yang Ye was a newcomer after all. He was not very famous in the market. Even if Chu Liuxiang was a divine book, it was possible that it would not be discovered by everyone in a very short period of time, and its sales would be average.
This way, the two of them could temporarily avoid the anger of the higher-ups and think of a way to resolve it.
It was five in the afternoon. Zhao Huan and He Zhijie's phones finally rang.
Looking at the phone in front of them that kept ringing, the two of them suddenly did not dare to answer the call.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhao Huan steeled his heart and placed the phone to his ear. He asked in a hoarse voice,"How were your results?"
Very soon, an excited voice came from the receiver." Department Head Zhao, the sales results of all the major bookstores in the country have just been calculated. Oh my god!" The sales of Chu Liuxiang published by Tianya Press had reached 130,000 yuan on the first day!，This wasn't something a newbie author could achieve!”
Unlike the joy of the person on the other end of the phone, Zhao Huan felt like he was dead after hearing the data. Just this sentence alone shattered all the hope in Zhao Huan's heart.
Similarly, He Zhijie, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, was also disappointed and lost.
About three minutes later, Zhao Huan's eyes moved as he looked at He Zhijie, who was stunned. A strong sense of regret suddenly rose in Zhao Huan's heart.
If He Zhijie hadn't banned Yang Ye's book, Zhao Huan would have been rewarded for having Yang Ye's book on the website instead of facing the threat of losing his job.
All of this was because of what He Zhijie said.
At the thought of this, Zhao Huan suddenly flew into a rage. He grabbed the ashtray on the table that was filled with cigarette butts and threw it at He Zhijie." Bastard, it's all because I helped you. Now, I can't keep the position that I've been angry for 20 years. I'm finished!"
The opposite of Zhao Huan and He Zhijie was Tianya Press. From the boss to the employees, everyone was excited because of Chu Liuxiang's shocking sales on the first day.
Generally, after a novel was published, it would be considered good if it could sell 5,000 copies on the first day. If it could sell more than 10,000 copies on the first day, it would become popular. However, selling more than 100,000 copies on the first day was definitely a result that only an A-list author who had been famous for many years could achieve.
One had to know that in a place like Beijing, where there were more than ten publishing firms of various sizes, it would take at least five years for Tianya to make a name for themselves. But now, just because of Chu Liuxiang, Tianya's name had been imprinted in the eyes of countless people.
"Quick, tell Yang Ye this news. His book is really popular.”After announcing that his employees 'bonuses would be doubled this month, Sun Feibai quickly said to his nephew Sun Hao, who was also Xiaomi, who used to be at the Oddity.
The latter quickly took out his phone and dialed Yang Ye's number excitedly.
