Chapter 223: Out of stock

"Go, let's go in line too!"

Lu Xue happily took her husband to stand behind the team, and as soon as she walked over, she heard the discussion of the two people in front.

"It's such a coincidence, you also came here to buy "Weekly Youth"?"

"It's you, haha, I heard that this issue of the magazine is about to become a column for Teacher He Xi. And it is the first time to be sold in Nanhu City. Other bookstores will only have it in the afternoon. I can't miss the opportunity!"

"That's true, the scene is really spectacular, this time it's not in vain!"

"It's a pity that Huamei opened the door too late. It would be fine to open it earlier. I will have to go to work later."

Hearing the chat between these two readers, Lu Xue sighed in her heart that the sales volume of "Weekly Boutique" magazine in mid-summer last week broke the historical record, and many media did not take "Weekly Youth" seriously.

But looking at this situation now, "Weekly Youth" may not be worse than "Weekly Boutique".

"Crack..."

When Lu Xue heard the sound of taking pictures, she turned her head and found that her husband was holding the phone to take pictures.

"What are you doing?" she asked curiously.

"Taking pictures, this kind of scene is rare." The husband replied, and then pointed to the team in front: "Look, there are still many people taking pictures!"

Lu Xue looked up, and sure enough, many young people were taking photos with their mobile phones. Nowadays, people are very trendy, and taking photos and sharing them online is one of them.

share it? Lu Xue seemed to be thinking of something, but before she grasped the inspiration, the team suddenly cheered: "Open the door, open the door!"

The aluminum alloy rolling shutter door of Huamei Bookstore slowly opened a gap, and then suddenly stopped. The clerk inside heard the cheers outside and looked through the gap curiously. Countless eyes stared over. She was taken aback.

"so many people!?"

This clerk has worked in Huamei Bookstore for several years. I have never seen a scene where so many people gather outside the door. What happened? These people are all here to buy "Weekly Youth"?

The female clerk was a little nervous. She closed the shutter door decisively and hurriedly ran into the bookstore and shouted, "The shop manager, the shop manager, there are so many people buying books outside. We don't have enough manpower!"

At the headquarters of the Huamei Chain Bookstore, the telephone ringing non-stop.

"Yes, there is no manpower? This is because you are not fully prepared in advance, we..."

"Approximately how many readers are in front of the bookstore? Is it open for business..."

The operators continued to call busy. While answering the phone, they also need to record matters on paper. The two men who bought Huamei Bookstore are different from the previous chairman. Their requirements are very strict, especially for data and response speed.

These operators have to record the situation of bookstores in various parts of China in real time, and then special personnel will submit statistics. When others are still asleep, they will be so busy and sweaty.

However, even so, the two managers were still not satisfied.

"Slow, too slow! What an era, they are still so procrastinating!" The young man with glasses was particularly dissatisfied, although the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa next to him frowned. But the performance is more sensible: "Forget it, we can't put the previous standard here. This is an ordinary company, and the current efficiency is fair."

"Let them quickly calculate the future sales expectations. I think there is something wrong with the situation. It would be ridiculous if the stock is out of stock."

Out of stock, this situation will make these two men shameless to face the elderly, then the Huamei Bookstore will be taken care of by two other better people.

They didn't want to give it to others in this task.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a quarrel broke out in the editorial department of the "Weekly Youth" and Phoenix Company.

"You want me to say a few times that the magazines in Zhaoyang District are not enough to sell, and the bookstore there is calling to urge you! Professor Yang, you should promptly inform the publisher and ask them to send the stock in the warehouse!"

"No, absolutely no! The magazines in the warehouse will be shipped to other cities in two hours, and there is no extra quantity for Zhaoyang District!"

The editors were arguing about the lack of magazines. This week was the first week that Phoenix and Huamei were jointly selling. Phoenix had distributed half of the magazines to Huamei.

However, the current situation is unexpected. The channel of "Weekly Youth" has appeared out of stock. Even in Ninghai City, where preparations are quite adequate, many bookstores' magazines have been sold out in just one hour.

"Sun Yang, notify the publisher to reprint it immediately! The warehouse takes the lead in meeting the needs of the nearby areas, and the publisher’s additional magazines are sent to various places.

Ye Xiong, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, calmly gave orders. His calm appearance was very trustworthy, but his heart was turbulent.

This issue of "Weekly Youth" is the one with the most works of He Xi, and the editorial department expects that its sales will be hot. Coupled with the joining of Huamei Bookstore, the number of magazines prepared in advance has more than doubled in the past!

In other words, although Huamei and Phoenix have conflicts and overlaps in channels in some cities, Phoenix does not have the slightest discount when calculating its channel sales. Even in Ninghai City, they have prepared a magazine sales forecast of one million.

However, it seems that the editors still underestimated the effect of He Xi's three words, and the company's inventory seems to be insufficient.

"I made a mistake and gave too many magazines to Huamei Bookstore." Ye Xiong frowned and thought. He may have overestimated the sales of Huamei Bookstore. He knew that one-third of the magazines should be given to Huamei Bookstore, and a third Second, it is sold by itself.

"Zhou Quan, you call Huamei Bookstore and ask if they have any extra magazines to return to us."

Ye Xiong told an editor, but as soon as he finished speaking, another editor suddenly exclaimed: "Editor-in-chief, Huamei is calling!"

The young editor covered the microphone with his hand and said to Ye Xiong back: "Huamei said that the magazine's popularity has exceeded expectations. If we want to provide another 400,000 copies, what should we do?"

There was an inhalation sound from the entire editorial department, and then there was dead silence.

"Do you want to reprint?" Sun Yang, who was in charge of negotiating with the publishing house, jumped up first: "No way, the publishing house is already at full capacity, and there is no way to reprint it!"

Ye Xiong stood up slowly, he was a little dizzy. what's going on? Not only does the Phoenix Company need to print, but even Huamei Bookstore also needs it. Both of their companies are facing the possibility of out of stock?

This week’s "Weekly Youth" has doubled its previous shipments. The quick report has not yet come out, but the gorgeous orders alone have surpassed the previous total sales!

Why is it so?

Is it true that He Xi's three stories are so outstanding? This is not right. It takes several hours for the comics to show their effects. However, it has only been on sale for less than an hour. Almost all readers who bought the magazine have not read this issue of the comics!

"Alice." Ye Xiong shouted, and the blonde female editor stood up: "Editor-in-chief, don't ask me, I'm also confused."

Alice frowned slightly, she was surprised and happy, although she didn't know why the initial sales were so hot. However, when readers read this issue of "Weekly Youth", the popularity will increase further. She is confident in the three-part plot of "Detective Conan".

"Don't you know?"

Ye Xiong was surprised ~lightnovelpub.net~ There is no reason for this, but he thought about it again, the popularity of Huamei Bookstore may be because of their good advertising outside. As for the sales of Phoenix, if the influence of Huamei Bookstore is removed, the current situation will not be too exaggerated...

Although there are still a lot of doubts, these answers can be investigated after the fact. What is more important now is -

"You first reply to Huamei Bookstore, we will provide 400,000 copies right away!" Ye Xiong patted the table, and the editor who answered the phone turned around and shouted, "Sun Yang, you contact other publishing houses and ask them to print them for help. "

The editors divide the work and start to work, and Alice is also sorting the packages, and she is going to the warehouse to supervise the distribution of the magazine.

"Alice, this issue of "Weekly Youth" may not be as good as "Weekly Boutique", but it should exceed half of its sales." Ye Xiong said to Alice: "The gap will be narrowed in the future, you can tell Teacher He Xi this good news!"

"I'll notify him, but I'll wait two days later..." Alice nodded, and then smiled: "The kid is taking an exam today." (To be continued...)
