tokyo writer

Takayuki Fuji moved his eyes down, and saw the number "500" clearly written on the order form!

This made him subconsciously open his eyes wide.

What the hell, Yamazaki, does he want to buy a batch of goods and sell them for a whole year? !

Buying so much, not to mention the flow of funds, even the inventory in the warehouse is too much.

Takayuki Fuji decided to ask clearly. He turned his head and said in a low voice to the man in casual clothes, "Yamazaki, are you going to open a branch or expand the scale recently?"

Hearing Fuji Takayuki's question, the man in casual clothes was a little puzzled for a moment, but he stopped his hands and replied, "No, why do you think so?"

"Then why did you order 500 copies? As far as I know, you can only put 20 of the same books on your bookshelf with a display stand at the same time, right?"

The man in casual clothes shrugged, and said with an indifferent expression: "I like this book, that's all."

Takashi Fujitaka continued to say with disbelief, "Don't fool me, tell the truth, if you are really optimistic, you can order more later."

"Okay, okay, I admit, I am purely because of the author of this work, Hiroto Akihara."

"Who is he, why haven't I heard of it." One of Fujitaka showed a suspicious expression.

The man in casual clothes replied: "The other party is a signed writer of "New Novel", and has serialized a series of works on it before."

After hearing this explanation, Takayuki Fuji became even more puzzled.

Isn't "New Novel" owned by Mantansha?It seems that the sales volume broke out some time ago, which has attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

That being the case, why didn't this writer named Akihara Yuto not publish a booklet directly through Mantansha, but cooperated with Anjiu Bookstore instead?Isn't this a small loss that outweighs the gain! ?

Takayuki Fuji thought for a while and decided to persuade his friend.

"Yamazaki, even if this Akihara-sensei is a writer who has already debuted and has been serialized in "New Novel", it's not worth it..."

"No, it's worth it." The man in casual clothes shook his head, seeing that Fuji Takayuki was still puzzled, he explained carefully.

After Takayuki Fuji heard it, he found that the writer named Hiroto Akihara had more exaggerated experiences than he thought.

After the debut of "New Novel", the other party successfully released a series of works, helping the sales of "New Novel" from 3 copies to 20 copies; its works were announced to be filmed by related film and television companies, and even approved by TV stations. reports.

Because of his works, he has a certain reputation in the literary world, and was even evaluated as a "thriller genius" by some book critics.

Fuji Takayuki is even more confused?

How much did Anjiu Bookstore pay to find such a writer, or is there any conflict between Mandanshe and Akihara Yuto?

When he was puzzled, the man in casual clothes raised his hand and motioned for the staff to come and take the order form.Takayuki Fuji could only put down his thinking, picked up a pen, struggled for a while, and then wrote a number on the order form-500 volumes.

Forget it, let's buy more first, in case this work sells out, it may be too late to restock...

……

After Fuji Takayuki submitted the order form, other bookstore operators also submitted order forms, and the trial reading session officially came to an end.

As soon as An Jiujin led Satake Maki and others, he thanked and said goodbye to everyone on the field while bowing.All the participants also left the venue one after another.

When only the employees of Anjiu Bookstore were left on the field, Satake Maki held a stack of receipts and said, "President, do you want to count the specific number of books sold now?"

She was a little happy. When she collected the order forms, she found that the specific numbers of many order forms were higher than she expected, which meant that the effect of this trial reading meeting might be very good.

As soon as An Jiujin didn't know what he was thinking, he was still a little worried, but after thinking about it, he decided to count all the purchase orders on the spot first.

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, then nodded, and signaled Satake Maki to start counting.

After receiving the order, Satake Maki went to the lobby and sat down, took out a piece of paper, copied the data of the purchase order on the paper one by one, and then counted them up.

"Vine Books, 500 volumes."

"Ji Xia Bookstore, 450 volumes."

"Nanqiu Bookstore, 200 volumes..."

After about 10 minutes, she copied all the order numbers and added them up.

"President, I have already counted." Satake Maki said.

"How much?" An Jiujin Gangyi was still a little nervous. After all, the amount of orders was related to the future business direction of An Jiu Bookstore, so it was hard for him to relax.

"Only..." Satake Maki slowed down his speech.

Hearing this word, An Jiujin had a bad feeling in his heart. Just when he was about to receive the bad news, he heard Maki Satake say: "6700 volumes."

An Jiujin Gangyi was worried, but he didn't expect to hear this number.He glanced at Satake Maki, and found that the latter laughed out loud, and immediately understood that he had been tricked.

But he didn't criticize her much. After all, Anjiu Bookstore only has 5 employees, and everyone's relationship is relatively harmonious, and it's normal to joke occasionally.

Moreover, he is not thinking about it now.

To be honest, his mood is even a little excited now!

6700 volumes, this number is much higher than the best figure he guessed, which means that the 3 volumes of the first edition can be eliminated by about one-fifth through this trial reading session.

It's just unbelievable!Or rather, it's amazing!

Thinking of this, An Jiujin just made a decision in his heart.

Mr. Akihara, let us work together to make this work a hit!

[102.1 Chapter [-] release and diary]

7 p.m., Chiyoda Ward.

Akihara Hiroto opened the door of the house, walked into the entrance, and suddenly heard a phone call.

Who is calling me at this time?

He was a little confused, but he quickly put on his indoor shoes, and then answered the phone: "I'm Yuto Akihara, may I ask who you are?"

"Ms. Akihara, it's me." A familiar voice came from the microphone, and Akihara Yuto quickly recognized that it was Goichi Akutsu's voice.

"President Anjiu, what's the matter?"

On the other side of the phone, An Jiujin said excitedly: "Mr. Akihara, Tokyo Sales has contacted me. Because the trial reading session is very effective, they plan to increase the order quantity from 12000 copies to 18000 copies!"

"This is really good news!" Akihara Yuto couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Of the 3 volumes of the first edition, 6700 volumes were sold to more than 30 cooperative bookstores through trial reading sessions, and 18000 volumes were sold to the distributor in Tokyo.As for the rest, there are only 5300 volumes left!

Immediately afterwards, Ajiujin Goichi continued: "Mr. Akihara, for the remaining 5000 books, I plan to keep 1000 books as a reserve, and the other 4300 books will be directly entrusted to bookstores to sell through direct sales."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Hiroto Akihara nodded. After all, although he knew a lot about publishing, his understanding of publishing was still superficial.
