Medical Master

Chapter 903 - The New Book on Sale!

A book launch?

Fang Qiu shook his head directly. “No.”

Zhang Xingjie was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, “I had forgotten that you are busy preparing for the New Year’s Gala now, aren’t you?”

But after thinking about it, Zhang Xingjie wouldn’t be disappointed even if Fang Qiu didn’t want to hold a book launch. After all, the publicity effect of Fang Qiu at the New Year’s Gala was obviously much better than that of holding a book launch.

“Everyone in the world knows about it, right?” Hearing Zhang Xingjie’s question, Fang Qiu was speechless.

There was no other way.

After all, this was an era of information transmission.

“Does that mean the signing session cannot be held either?” Zhang Xingjie asked again.

Fang Qiu nodded.

He really didn’t want to show up and be regarded as someone “not doing the right things” to earn money.

Zhang Xingjie thought for a moment with a wry smile. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then it can only be directly sold. Without any propaganda, the sales might be a little low before the end of the year. But I believe that as long as you show up in the New Year’s Gala, the sales will definitely rise quickly after the end of the year.”

“Sell directly?”

Fang Qiu was confused and didn’t know how to sell it directly. After all, he had never published a book before.

“Yes!” Zhang Xingjie nodded and added, “I’m going to presell books online first, and then I’ll put them on sale at major bookstores in five days. At the same time, I’ll start selling the electronic edition of the book. What do you think?”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “If you need some help without my presence, you can call me at any time. In addition, when the books have been released, please leave me dozens of books so that I can give them to others as gifts.”

“Okay, no problem!” Zhang Xingjie immediately nodded in agreement.

After the talk, Fang Qiu left directly.

As soon as Fang Qiu left, the news of the new book immediately broke out on the Internet.

“Fang Qiu’s new book will be officially released in five days!”

As soon as the news came out, netizens burst into an uproar on the Internet again.

“Dear God. Is the new book going to be on sale?”

“Really? Too many good things have happened in the past two days. They just came one after another. Three pieces of great news have come in just two days.”

“First attend the New Year’s Gala, then act in a movie, and now publish a new book. Fang Qiu is going to occupy the first three hot topics in the New Year!”

“I am waiting for it for so long. It’s finally on sale.”

“Five days! Only in five days can I buy Master Fang’s book. I’m so excited.”

“Don’t just mention the date. Where can I buy Master Fang Qiu’s book?”

“Oh yes, where can we buy it?”

For a time, everyone asked the same question.

Soon, Dangran, a very famous bookstore in the country, which was in cooperation with Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company answered the netizens’ most concerned question on Weibo.

“Dangran will officially start online booking at 8 o’clock tonight. Everyone can book Fang Qiu’s new book at Dangran!”

The first ones to pay attention to this news were not the netizens and Fang Qiu’s fans who were looking forward to his first book, but the major publishing companies and selling companies.

For a moment, the WeChat group of the publishing industry suddenly became active.

“The book seems to be very popular on Weibo.”

“Although Fang Qiu’s book seems to be quite good from the introduction published before, the content of the book is quite different from the introduction. Maybe Fang Qiu is just trying to make the money of his fans.”

“It can be judged when the book comes out.”

“Guess, how many books can be booked in an hour?”

“Based on Fang Qiu’s current reputation, I think it should be 100,000 books. I bet a red envelope of 100 yuan!”

“100,000? That’s a small number. I think it should be 150,000.”

“No way. Fang Qiu is now a big hit. He has more than 55 million fans on Weibo. It is estimated that he will obtain more than 60 million fans after the New Year. With such a huge fan base, it’s not too much for me to bet 500,000 books, isn’t it?”

Then everyone in the group was shocked.

“!!!”

The WeChat group was flooded with a series of exclamation marks instantly.

“500,000 books? Do you think our publishing industry is still what it was ten years ago?”

“If it were ten years ago, I would believe it even if it were 600,000 or 700,000 books, let alone 500,000 books. But now, it’s quite satisfying that the total sales of a book can reach 500,000. How can the book volume be so high in an hour? Booking costs money!”

“500,000 books? Are you kidding me?”

Everyone began to question this.

Seeing that his words had caused a heated discussion in the group, the person who made that guess immediately sent an embarrassed emoji and said, “I bet a red envelope of 20 yuan!”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Although he spoke confidently, it seemed that he couldn’t guarantee it!

Meanwhile, various advertisements such as banners, communication tools, and various comments had been placed on the Dangran website.

Obviously, they had spent a lot of money on it.

After all, this was Fang Qiu’s book. And it was the first time that Fang Qiu had published a book. Not to mention the popularity of Fang Qiu this year, the topics about him were exploded in the past two days.

Therefore, they felt that Fang Qiu’s book could be a hit!

However, Dangran, as the most popular online bookstore present, had a piece of clear knowledge of book sales. They also knew that if hundreds of thousands of books were to be sold online and offline together, the book could be recognized as a very popular one.

But this time, the hero was Fang Qiu, a person who was so well-known!

Therefore, Dangran had also estimated in advance that 300,000 books of Fang Qiu should be reserved in an hour and about 500,000 in 24 hours.

It was also because they had estimated in advance that they paid a lot of money for advertisements.

Seeing the heat on the Internet, Dangran and Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company were full of confidence. But they still had some concerns. After all, physical books were really hard to sell these days!

On the other side, Fang Qiu didn’t care about these.

He waited in the capital for an hour before Zhang Xingjie had asked someone to send the dozens of books he needed to the hotel.

After receiving them, he immediately began to pack and mail them out.

The recipients were Liu Qingshi and the other five hosts of Run Wild&Survive, as well as Jiang Mengjie, Jiang Miaoyu, his parents, and so on. He sent a book to almost everyone he knew.

After that, he took the rest of the books and boarded the plane to return to Jiangjing.

When arriving at school, he first went to the dormitory to place the rest of the books. Then he took one and walked to the library to find Xu Miaolin.

He remembered that only Xu Miaolin had his first draft.

It was not a good thing to keep reading the draft. Now that the finished book was out, he had to send one to the teacher in person.

He came to the reading room of the library.

“Mr. Xu,” Fang Qiu shouted. Without waiting for Xu Miaolin to raise his head, he walked up and handed the book to Xu Miaolin.

“Huh?” Xu Miaolin glanced at it, and then immediately took it and asked, “Is the finished product out?”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded.

Xu Miaolin looked through it for a while, then stood up suddenly, and walked out holding the book.

“Hey, Mr. Xu, what are you going to do?” asked Fang Qiu with a puzzled face.

“I have to take your book to see my father-in-law and show it off,” Xu Miaolin said with a grin.

Hearing this, Fang Qiu was speechless.

To his surprise, Xu Miaolin actually went there.

Dangran did an update at 7 p.m.

The booking web page was officially opened.

When entering the website, people could find that the web page was gorgeous and attractive.

But there was still no reservation button on the page.

There were only two sentences: On sale at 8 p.m.! Please look forward to it!

By the side of the words, there was a countdown in progress.

The moment the web page was opened, a link was immediately published on Dangran’s Weibo.

For a moment, countless people surged in and began to wait.

They managed to wait for an hour.

Finally, it was time.

In addition to the people who were waiting on the reservation page, countless people rushed in.

As a result, they found that the page was white and there was nothing. They had no access to it at all.

Meanwhile, the people who had entered the page in advance to prepare for booking found that after the time was up, the countdown had stopped, but there was still no button for the reservation.

If they refreshed the page, it turned white!

Now everyone understood.

Because there were too many people who wanted to book Fang Qiu’s new book, the page stopped working the moment the reservation began.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the white page.

“Start working. Be quick!”

On the other side, a fan of Fang Qiu who was also a young man interested in traditional Chinese Medicine had been paying attention to the news of the book. As soon as it was the time, he immediately clicked on the reservation page, only to find that it was unavailable.

Though he felt frustrated, he kept refreshing it.

But after clicking through the page with difficulty, he found that there was a line of big words on the page: Because of the excessive traffic, the page collapsed. The staff is working on it. Please wait patiently!

“Shit!”

Seeing this line of words, the fan was suddenly speechless.

“What the fuck! Can it work?”

In a traditional Chinese Medicine school, a student couldn’t help swearing when he saw this line of words after managing to enter the page.

The same thing happened all over the world.

Everyone couldn’t stand it at once.

They all rushed into Weibo to complain about it.

As a result, these people found that not only themselves but all the people could not enter the page. The reservation page had been completely collapsed.

This situation immediately caused huge public discussion online.

“What the hell is Dangran doing?”

“As the largest online bookstore in the country, it’s collapsed at the beginning of the sale. Isn’t it too weak?”

“Damn, can I buy it or not?”

“You can’t even make a web page well. You are lousy.”

“What a rotten online bookstore!”

For a moment, netizens began to complain about Dangran together.

On the other hand, Fang Qiu’s fans were very happy.

“Haha, Master Fang Qiu is so awesome!”

“He deserves to be the master of ours. He can cause the website to collapse even if he just sells a book. No one is more popular than him.”

“See? This is the real master!”

“It seems that we don’t have to worry about the sales at all. The popularity is amazing.”

“Do we need to worry about that? Master Fang has so many fans. If each of us buys one, it will be 55 million which can be able to strive for the first place in the world!”
