College Construction: My Principal System - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: The Beijing Book Fair and Rush Orders

Amazon was the number one book e-commerce website in the world.

Director Jeremy’s judgment of market trends was very accurate, almost to the extent of predicting the future.

The day after Amazon’s e-book sales list was released on the 30th day.

The phone calls in the Yun Ding High School press building never stopped.

A hundred calls, a hundred operators.

They received orders from the traditional public chain bookstores, such as Xinhua Bookstore, Central Bookstore, Yu Cai Bookstore, and a series of other bookstores.

They wanted to buy 3,000 copies.

3,000 copies!

What kind of concept was that?

Many bookstores had less than 10,000 copies of all the books in stock.

In other words, they wanted Yun Ding High School Publishing House to take up a third of their entire store.

It was easy to imagine.

The works produced by the Publishing House were very popular with the readers.

Not to mention private chain bookstores like Zhongshuge bookstore, Fangsuo bookstore, Sisyphus Bookstore, Jianzhu Bookstore, Yanjiyou Bookstore, Banshan bookstore, 1200 bookshop, and other such bookstores also wanted several copies because their market sense was good as well.

From the sales volume of the normal inventory, it could be seen that the books of Yun Ding High School Press sold quickly and well, and the reviews from the readers were so good that they exploded.

Naturally, they had more books than usual, but even so, it was still not enough.

The ones who were at a disadvantage were the competing companies of Amazon e-book City. Because the online bookstore’s channel was to order directly from the publisher, in the case of limited inventory, you ordered a little more, the other online bookstore could only take a little less.

But who would have thought that under Jeremy’s instructions, Amazon’s Channel Department and Marketing Department directly took down the entire network’s existing inventory?

So, they could only take countermeasures.

Find someone to directly buy on Amazon, keep their own channel stocked, and at the same time, increase the price of sales.

However, there wasn’t much point in fighting a price war in the market for things that were already in short supply.

The most important thing was to return to the source. Getting Yun Ding High School’s Publishing House to print these works was the most important thing.

“Jingcheng City printing house? I, Xu Zhiyu, will print another 50,000 copies of ‘Minus One Degree.”

“‘How many flowers fall in my dreams?’ will be printed another 30,000 copies.”

“100,000 extra copies of ‘Coiling Dragon’.”

“40,000 of ‘The Girls We Fell in Love with All Those Years Ago’”

“‘A Ghost Blows Out the Light’, 60000.”

“100,000 for ‘Three Bodies: The Earth’s Past’. What, you said ‘Three Bodies: The Earth’s Past ‘ has been added? I mean added. The channel was booked on the same day!”

Because the Yun Ding High School press print run demand was too large, it caused the prices of paper and printing ink in Jingcheng to go up a few times.

However, that was something to talk about for another time.

…

The Searchlight Book Reading Conference was held as scheduled.

The awards for all kinds of books were undoubtedly given to the young authors of Yun Ding High School.

The Best Publisher Award was given to Principal Fang Yuan.

At this time, Fang Yuan was invited by the Cultural Bureau of Jingcheng City to attend the Beijing Book Fair and was unable to attend the award ceremony.

Xu Zhiyu received the award on his behalf.

The Beijing Book Fair was the largest book fair in the country, and it gathered publishers from all over the country.

At the same time, Fang Yuan was invited by the general administration of press and publication to participate in the fair, and there were many well-known old Publishing Houses.

For example, Education Publishing House, Xinhua Publishing House, Humanities Publishing House, Yilin Publishing House, Ancient Books Publishing House, Foreign Language Publishing House, and so on.

Although Yun Ding High School Publishing House was only a new Publishing House that had been established less than three months ago, it had already become a hot commodity at the exhibition.

The first person to come over was the secretary of the Education Bureau, Wei Wen.

Secretary Wei was an old man with gray hair. He was one of the top figures in the domestic education circle and the President of the education Publishing House.

He had read a lot of news about Yun Ding High School and was very interested in Principal Fang Yuan.

This time, when they met at the book exhibition, he took the initiative to go over and greet him. “Whether it’s Yun Ding High School or the affiliated Publishing House, they have been in the limelight recently. Principal Fang, I have seen many of your interviews, and I very much approve of your educational philosophy. I hope that your society will continue to work hard and keep forging ahead, balancing economic and social benefits, and working hard to cultivate outstanding writing talents on campus, so as to enrich the people’s spiritual and civilized lives.”

Wei Wen, who had lived in officialdom for a long time, could not help but have a somewhat bureaucratic style in his usual speech.

However, from his gaze, it could be seen that his blessings for Principal Fang Yuan, Yun Ding High School, and the Publishing House were all sincere.

After President Wei. A few of the presidents of the old-style large-scale Publishing Houses also came over to chat.

There was surprise and envy in their words.

From today onwards, Yun Ding High School Publishing House would stand among the large-scale Publishing Houses and become an existence that could not be ignored.

Humanities Publishing House declared, “Principal Fang is young and Talented. He does indeed have the appearance of a great talent.”

Xinhua Publishing House stated, “If your Publishing House continues to develop at this rate this year, it will soon become one of the top ten Publishing Houses in the domestic market.”

Yilin Publishing House added, “Have you considered granting us the translation rights for the ten major languages in the world?”

Foreign language Publishing House objected, “What about us? What about us?”

Ancient books Publishing House: “Sigh, we old geezers really didn’t expect that our competitors in the publishing industry wouldn’t be from the publishing industry. Instead, they’re from the High School education industry!”!

This month, Yun Ding High School Publishing House appeared out of nowhere. It was really eye-opening. “What do you call it now? This is a cross-border attack!”

Before Fang Yuan could answer them one by one.

In front of the booth of Yun Ding High School’s Publishing House, there was already a crowd of buyers who had come to snap up their orders.

All of them were dressed in suits and suits. They had decent looks and were calm in handling matters. They looked like mature businessmen.

However, when they came in front of Fang Yuan, they were no longer calm.

They scrambled to hand their business cards to Fang Yuan, almost breaking their heads.

“Mr. Fang, I’m Lin Feng, the general distributor of the North China region. I have four works, a total of ten thousand copies!”

“Ye Qiu, the general distributor of the South China region. A total of twenty thousand copies!”

“Xu Le from East China, thirty thousand copies, cash on hand!”

“The distributor of the central China region, a total of ten thousand copies, sent to the Central Plains Warehouse!”

Seeing this crazy scene, Fang Yuan nodded to the presidents and said, “I’m sorry, but I have some errands to run. Please excuse me.”

“Go ahead and do your work, Fang. We’ll talk later.”

Fang Yuan’s orders flew over like snowflakes, and he looked at his empty booth. One of the presidents said with a wry smile, “Who would have thought that the piece that broke the sales record of the publishing world for so many years was only a high school student’s essay?”
