Chapter 26 Willows are dark and flowers are bright

April 22, 2004 After going to work in the afternoon, Lao Yun rushed to the director's office and handed a copy of "Amidst Rain and Rain in the Mountain Village" to Director Chai: "This is a book published the year before last. It was cleared in the morning, and there are still more than 50,000 copies piled up there, which cannot be sold." "What about discounting?" Director Chai asked. Old Yun shook his head: "It's 50% off at the beginning of the year, but no one wants it." Director Chai flipped through the book: "The content is ok. How about this, you go to the editorial office and find Xiao Ke, and we will study it."

After research, it was decided: send more than 50,000 volumes of the book back to the printing factory, and tear off the cover; Xiao Ke redesigned the cover; changed the title of the book, from "Mountain Village Misty Rain" to "Twilight, A Young Woman Breaks into the Village of Bachelors"; the book price increased double. The next day, Xiao Ke sent a newly designed cover art.Director Chai inspected it and said, "It's not trendy enough. The key parts of the body should be highlighted to impress people." In the evening, Xiao Ke handed over the revised cover art to Director Chai.After seeing it, Director Chai signed it immediately: "Immediately send it to the printing factory for plate making, and then bind it after printing. In addition, you ask Lao Yun to make a brief introduction and send it out together with the order."

Three thousand solicitation orders were sent to all parts of the country.A month later, orders were sent back one after another. As of statistics, nearly 150,000 copies have been ordered. On this day, old Yun happily came to the director's office and spread an urgent telegram in front of Director Chai—— Another 3,000 copies of Bachelor Village have been ordered, and the payment has been transferred. Chen Wuzhou Bookstore Old Yun said: "Unexpectedly, it has broken through 150,000." Director Chai said: "Then print as many as you want." Old Yun said: "It's a pity that the version has been dismantled long ago."

Director Chai said: "Pick up the characters again, typesetting and reprinting. In any case, we must meet the needs of the readers!" June 19, 1989
