Chapter 220 "Taste of the Three Kingdoms" is selling like hot cakes!
Until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the last reader got the signed book.

Chen Dongcai put down his pen, pinched his sore shoulders, he was almost exhausted, picked up the mineral water on the table, took a sip, and sighed, "Dinghai is an amazing city with rich culture, I love Dinghai , I love Dinghai people."

Unexpectedly, Chen Dong's inadvertent exclamation was recorded by a reporter next to him. The next day, this sentence appeared in Dinghai Entertainment News.

Changjiang Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief Office.

Ma Ziqiang quickly walked into Du Wenhai's office with a copy of yesterday's sales statistics report of "Three Kingdoms" in his hand.

He knew that Editor-in-Chief Du was waiting impatiently for this sales statistics report, so he waited in the office of the sales department, urging the staff of the sales department to quickly collect the sales statistics of yesterday's major bookstores collected from various places.

As soon as the sales statistics were finished, Ma Ziqiang took the sales statistics report and rushed to the editor-in-chief's office to report.

"Editor Du, the sales statistics report of "Three Kingdoms" came out yesterday." Xiao Ma handed the sales statistics report in his hand to Du Wenhai, and said excitedly.

Of course, he has a reason to be excited. He just glanced at the sales statistics report. Yesterday, "Pin Three Kingdoms" sold more than 4 copies, and the sales were booming.

It stands to reason that if the book is selling like crazy, it still hits the street. It has nothing to do with him as a small employee who earns thousands of dollars a month.

However, thinking about last year, because of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of a Great Power" two books were sold very well, which brought a huge profit to the publishing house. Last year, he got more than 4 awards. This year, there are the last three parts of "The Rise of Great Powers", and now "Pin Three Kingdoms" is also a big hit. It is conceivable that this year's annual bonus is about the same amount, and it may be more, because "Pin Three Kingdoms" is more expensive than "Ming Dynasty" "Those Things About North Korea" is still popular.

When he thought of last year's class reunion, Huang Lei, a college classmate who worked at the Yellow River Publishing House, complained to him that the year-end bonus was only a few thousand yuan, and envied his year-end bonus of more than 4 yuan. Ma Ziqiang felt an indescribable sense of refreshment in his heart.

"Xiao Ma, looking at your excitement, it seems that the book is selling well, how many copies?" Du Wenhai asked with a smile after receiving the sales statistics report handed over by Ma Ziqiang.

"Mr. Du, the book is really selling well, even higher than the first-day sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of Great Powers", 41500 copies." Xiao Ma said.

Hearing this, Du Wenhai smiled like a chrysanthemum. He picked up the sales statistics report in his hand and took a look at it. This sales statistics report listed the sales of "Three Kingdoms" in major bookstores across the country.

Among them, Dinghai City sold the most, and more than 4000 books were signed at the book signing event alone. Secondly, it was in the Jiangjian area where the literary style was at its peak and life was affluent.

Du Wenhai glanced directly at the total sales data at the end. 41500.

It is marked in bold red font, which is very conspicuous, making him pleasing to the eye and full of joy.

Seeing this number, he had an idea of ​​how many copies of The Three Kingdoms could be sold.

The top, middle, and bottom three volumes can sell at least 200 million to 300 million copies.

Based on this data, we can roughly estimate the profit brought by "Pin Three Kingdoms" to the publishing house.

If the author is given 18% of the author's remuneration, it is almost the same. If the book has to be distributed to 40 copies, the publishing house can protect its capital.

200 million to 300 million copies, it seems that there is no doubt that it will make a profit, and it can make a lot of money.

Controversy over these two views has filled the Internet and newspapers with a lot of gunpowder.

It breaks out of the box of respecting Liu and suppressing Cao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and analyzes the characters and stories of the Three Kingdoms from a more objective perspective." Netizen Xiaozhu Daxia commented said.

""Pin the Three Kingdoms" is a very interesting book. Most people in China know the stories of the Three Kingdoms from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". However, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not official history after all. The influence of the author Luo Guanzhong's personal feelings. Luo Guanzhong himself is a down-and-out intellectual, depressed and unwilling. Therefore, he gave the necessary sympathy and beautification to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and other half-intellectuals. Cao Cao, who has become a hero, has disdain, and is very jealous and dissatisfied. Therefore, in his works, he saw a perfect Liu Bei, a half-monster Zhuge Liang, and a Cao Cao who would call a villain even a child. The Cao Cao described by Luo Guanzhong is too narrow, suspicious, lustful, but, is the real Cao Cao really like this? This "Pin Three Kingdoms" will let readers see a different Cao Cao, a real Cao Cao." Domestic Gao Quan, a famous historian, commented.
