Ever since the Oriental Daily apologized, everyone knew that this matter could come to an end. Xia Qiu's life had also returned to a peaceful life of writing. The arson incident of the Oriental Daily also sounded an alarm for the newspapers in Gang City. Xia Qiu had said that if another newspaper company tried to use his master to gain attention, he would shut him down. Everyone had thought that it was just a young man's words, but now everyone knew that Xia Qiu had the ability to do so. Therefore, there were very few reports about Xia Qiu in the newspapers nowadays. Even if there were, they would only pick up some harmless good things to report. It seemed that overnight, the entire newspaper industry had changed their view of Xia Qiu.
The debate between Cheng Bao and the other newspapers also slowly calmed down. Although scolding wars could increase sales, scolding people on the streets every day would make them look like shrews. This would easily make others feel disgusted, so everyone had to control themselves and not go too far to hype up a matter.
Xia Qiu was very happy about the changes in the newspapers. In the future, no one would point at her and scold her. Although she didn't have to pay attention to it, it was annoying to have too many people scolding her.
What made Xia Qiu the happiest was that the novel, Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince, had sold like hotcakes. After some hype, the sales figures for Hui Ming were finally out. Just in Gangcheng and Wancheng, it had sold more than 700,000 copies. Wancheng was Boss Fu's base camp, and the sales in Wancheng alone had reached more than 400,000 copies, and the figures were still rising.
Gang City had also sold more than 300,000 sets. Although there were no exact figures for other places, there should be 200,000 sets. Together, they could reach a million sets. This was only the sales for this month. Boss Fu had gotten a big bargain just like the Sing Tao Daily.
The war of words between the scholars in Gang City directly affected the sales. Although some of the self-proclaimed noble moral gentlemen were lost, they attracted more savory people, especially teenagers. They were the main reader group. This was how society was. The more you didn't allow people to read it, the more people would secretly touch and read it. However, after reading it, they would scold Mi Ming for being a bad thing. Such a good book was not a erotic novel. In fact, Mi Ming was talking about the Quest for Qin, but he was attacking Xia Qiu herself. People mistakenly thought that returning to the Ming Dynasty to be a prince was also a erotic novel.
The owner of the Black Bamboo Bookstore was laughing in his dreams. Ever since Xia Qiu appeared, his business had never been so good. In the past, a salesperson came to promote the book 'Return to the Ming Dynasty and Become a Wangye.' Due to caution, he did not buy many copies, only 100 copies. He did not expect that the book would sell so well. He was about to buy more, but in the end, they did not sell it anymore. They said that the distribution rights had been sold to the publishing company. At that time, he really regretted it to death.
A few days ago, another person came over and said that he had returned to the Ming Dynasty to become a publishing company for a prince. He asked if he wanted to buy more copies. He made up his mind and bought 500 copies. However, just as he finished buying, the newspaper criticized the author of this book. At that time, he really wanted to burn down those newspapers. How could such a good book be a erotic novel? They were really blind.
The noise outside was so fierce that he really regretted it at that time. He shouldn't have bought so many goods at once. However, the goods had already been bought, so it was useless to regret it. He could only slowly sell them. However, the result was beyond his expectations. The 500 sets were almost sold out in just ten days. Then, he looked at the nearby bookstores. The owners despised them. They called you timid and asked you to buy less. Now, they are dumbfounded because it is very difficult to get any goods now.
Wan City's initial estimate was 300,000 sets in Gang City, but they did not expect that these 300,000 sets would be sold out in just ten days, so they were now rushing to transfer goods from Wan City.
"Boss, what are you thinking about? Look at your smiling face.”Suddenly, a voice reached the boss's ears.
When the boss saw this, he immediately chuckled and said,"Ah Liang, how's work? Didn't you follow Xia Qiu pretty well in the past? Why did they all leave?”The boss kept talking.
Ah Liang was the old Chen Liang. When he heard his boss mention Xia Qiu, he felt a little regretful. When he left, Xia Qiu had repeatedly asked him to stay and told him that if anyone stayed, he would buy a newspaper and arrange for those who stayed to work in the newspaper office. However, in the end, everyone left, including himself." I'm doing alright now. My life is not good, but it's not too bad. Boss, how did the book Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince sell? Was it good?" I think the other shops are out of stock."
Hearing this, the boss's eyes lit up. This was something worth bragging about." You're talking about this? Just thinking about it makes me laugh. This book is really selling well. It's only been ten days, and there are still ten sets left. Tomorrow, another five hundred sets will be sent over. The other stores are out of stock because they're out of stock now. It's their fault for not buying enough. Hmph, let them be jealous. They can't even buy more now. That's because the Wancheng company only had 300,000 sets in stock in Gangcheng. Now, they probably have to transfer the goods from Wancheng. When they buy them, my next batch of 500 sets will be sold out.”After saying that, he chuckled.
Chen Liang was stunned to see that it was selling so well." Didn't many newspapers say that this novel was a erotic novel and that they wanted to boycott it? Why is it selling so well now?"
When he heard that, the newspaper owner was even more furious." What do those newspapers know? They don't even read the book, yet they say it's a erotic novel. And that Mi Ming, his eyes are so small, and he likes to wear sunglasses. Is he blind? How can such a good book become a erotic novel in his eyes? Those people from the novel association are even more infuriating. Their own novels can't sell, but they don't allow others to write good novels. Look over there, those piles of novels are written by people from that association. You made me pay a lot of money."
The boss cursed, but he didn't expect someone in the corner of the bookstore to be embarrassed. It was Mikuang, who was wearing sunglasses. He was holding a novel about returning to the Ming Dynasty and becoming a prince. He lowered his head and looked like he was reading seriously. He had come out to look for inspiration. When he saw Xia Qiu's novels, he casually flipped through them. He didn't expect to be so engrossed in them. Hearing the boss's scolding, he wondered if the boss had recognized him. He wanted to leave just like that, but he couldn't bear to part with the books in his hands. He gritted his teeth, took the set of novels, ran to the front desk, threw down 45 Jiang coins, and left in a hurry. The boss looked suspicious. Why did this person in sunglasses look so much like Mi Ming?
Chen Liang looked at the man as well. He had never seen Mi Ming before, so he couldn't tell what was going on. He just said to the boss,"Boss, Xia Qiu's next book is almost done. I helped him organize some manuscripts when I worked with him before. The quality of that book is definitely not worse than this one.”
The boss was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the next book would be almost finished as soon as this book was published." He's writing so fast. How many words can he write in a day? The next book won't be hundreds of thousands of words, right?”
Chen Liang sighed and said," Don't worry about that. He can write tens of thousands of words a day. I once heard him say that his next book will be more than three million words. He's a genius. Writing a book is like copying a book. The entire novel seems to be imprinted in his mind. I've never heard of such an author before.”
