Hiroto Akihara nodded, he actually had some questions in his heart that he wanted to ask the other party.

……

After 5 minutes, there were only the two of them left in the office. Anju Tsu Goichi opened the drawer again, handed a document to Hiroto Akihara, and said in a calm tone: "According to the channel statistics, Tokyo's The sales volume is 900 copies, while the sales volume around Tokyo is 300 copies, and most of the buyers are young and middle-aged men."

At this moment, An Jujin just couldn't hold back his excitement, lost his poise in front of his subordinates, and said joyfully, "Teacher Qiuyuan, we have succeeded."

No matter how you look at it, according to the current sales trend, the 3 copies of the first edition can be sold out smoothly. For Anjiu Bookstore, the rest is pure profit!

Hiroto Akihara nodded. Although he was a little happy, he was not as excited as Goichi Akutsu.

After all, when he was in "New Novel", the weekly sales volume was 10,000+.

What are these numbers now?

Hiroto Akihara glanced at the information and asked a question: "President Yasuhisa, what is the expected weekly sales?"

An Jujin just thought about it, and replied: "There are probably about 3500 volumes."

Hiroto Akihara thought about it. According to the experience he learned in "New Novel", generally speaking, the first day and first week sales volume of a single book is undoubtedly the highest, but in the next few weeks, the novelty of readers will undoubtedly pass. This will gradually reduce the sales volume of booklets to a stable level.

If this is the case, the sales volume in the first month may be only 7000 copies...and it will gradually decline...

This sales volume is actually not low. According to the trend, the 3 copies of the first edition may be sold out in about half a year and then reprinted. However, if this is the case, it may take 10 or 1 years to sell 2 copies.

No matter how I think about this number, I feel sorry for the work "The Devotion of Suspect X". After all, the previous life sold out very quickly.

Therefore, I still need to find other channels to do some publicity. I can’t just rely on mutual recommendations between readers. No matter how I look at it, I think this speed is too slow...

However, he didn't tell An Jiujin what he was thinking. After all, the other party is still happy now, and it's not good to pour cold water on him.

In a few days, wait until you make a plan or something before giving your opinion.

……

It was noon soon, and Akihara Hiroto left the Yasuhiro Bookstore after eating the bento that Satake Maki brought him.

He took the tram to the Internet cafe near his home, paid the bill at the front desk, and sat down in a cubicle.

Hiroto Akihara turned on his computer and was about to log in to the forum he had seen before, but found that he forgot his account.After thinking about it, he registered another account called "Secretary Fujiwara" before logging in.

Let's take a look at the online feedback of "Suspect X", shall we?

He made a decision and quickly entered keywords in the forum's search box.

After waiting for more than 10 seconds, the web page loaded the results he wanted, and there were only 5 results in total.

It seems a bit bleak...

However, the book has only been released for a day, so it is normal to have this result, let's wait...

Hiroto Akihara put his mind down, and then opened the first search result and looked it up.

The title of this post is "A Murderer Who Makes People Pity", and there are thousands of words in it, which roughly tells the outline of the story. At the end, I strongly recommend all netizens to buy a copy of "Suspect X". It's unimaginable to say that the content is wonderful.

Hiroto Akihara nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, some readers would recommend it. In this case, it should also drive a batch of sales.

He dragged the mouse, and then continued to look down, and found that there were more than a dozen replies, most of which were "it looks quite interesting", "planning to buy a copy later", "hope the owner of the question is not exaggerating" and so on. .

He closed this post, and then called another post, but the content of this post surprised him quite a bit.

[For the protagonist Ishigami in "Suspect X", I express my disgust from the bottom of my heart.The reason is very simple, because what he wants is not to protect the mother and daughter at all, but to bind them by his side.

After killing their ex-husband, the mother and daughter could have turned themselves in immediately. Because of the ex-husband's extortion, the two should only be sentenced to self-defense, which would not last many years.

On the other hand, Stone God, who killed people and hid corpses, plunged the lives of the mother and daughter into the abyss.

Is this what he thinks he loves? 】

Hiroto Akihara was a little speechless after reading it, he didn't expect Kuroko to come out so soon.But he thought about it, if he didn't explain it, it might affect the book sales, so he tapped the keyboard.

[The ex-husband had two wounds on his body, one was hit on the back of the head with a blunt object (so loud that the Stone God next door could hear it), and the other was a strangle mark on his neck.In addition, no one can prove that the ex-husband came to extort money.

Therefore, even if the mother and daughter surrender themselves, there is a high probability that they will be convicted of premeditated murder rather than self-defense. 】

After finishing the reply, Hiroto Akihara closed the webpage. After all, there are trolls every year, so there is no need to spend too much energy.

But having said that, do we need to find an assistant in the future to be responsible for the management of online public opinion.

Akihara Hiroto thought about it, and decided to go back and think about it slowly.

He checked the time and found that it was still early, so he entered another keyword "new novel" in the search box.

The relevant results that came out immediately surprised him...

[New conditions in Chapter 106.1 Zero Six]

Hiroto Akihara dragged the mouse and continued to browse. He found that the search results of "new novel" were significantly higher than those of "suspect x", or in other words, dozens of times more.

But there is a problem in it, that is, most of these search results were published from July to mid-September, that is, when the "ZOO" series was still serialized.

After mid-September, the number and frequency of new posts began to decline sharply, and began to decrease sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hiroto Akihara thought about it for a while, and found that it is not surprising, after all, if there are no topical works, "New Novel" will indeed be cold.

Judging from this trend, sales should have dropped a lot.It is estimated that the editorial department will have a headache...

He thought for a while, swiped the mouse, found a post with the most replies recently, clicked to read it.

The title of the post is "What's wrong with the recent new novel", and the content is dissatisfaction with the content of "New Novel".

In the replies below, many people said that after Mr. Akihara stopped serializing, "New Novel" became very boring and lacked novel stories.

However, some people also put forward different opinions, saying that according to the insert announcement of "New Novel", Mr. Akihara will release new works after a while.

Hiroto Akihara was a little surprised, more speechless, when did I say that a new work was going to be released?

He pondered for a while, then used his new account to reply: "According to a friend of mine who works internally, the cooperation between Mr. Qiu Yuan and the editorial department of "New Novels" has come to an end."

After finishing the reply, he waited for a while and found that no one responded, so he closed this post and opened another post with the title "Very disappointed, about the work "Looking for Youzhen" by Menxie Youzhen".

Out of curiosity, Hiroto Akihara read it carefully, and found that there were a thousand words written in this post, and he analyzed the protagonist of "The Footsteps of Search" and several methods to solve the case.

At the end, the person who posted the post also emphasized that most of these contents are just the wisdom of others, which makes people feel boring. It is better to buy a "Hokkaido Sightseeing Guide" than to read this book.

In the reply below, there are two distinct factions. One faction supports the subject’s point of view and finds it boring, while the other faction emphasizes that this is based on a real police case.

In terms of numbers, the former faction has a relatively large number of people, accounting for the vast majority.

Akihara Yuto laughed, and he was still a little unconvinced that the sect association Yu really robbed him of the gold reward.And from his professional point of view, he does find the work boring.
