It was not until 3 o'clock in the afternoon that the last reader got a signed book. Chen Dongcai put down his pen and pinched his sore shoulders. He was almost exhausted. He picked up the mineral water on the table, took a sip and sighed, "Dinghai is an amazing city with rich cultural heritage. I love Dinghai." , I love Dinghai people.¡± Unexpectedly, Chen Dong¡¯s inadvertent exclamation was recorded by a reporter next to him, and this sentence appeared in the Dinghai Entertainment News the next day. ? ? ? ? ? ? Changjiang Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief¡¯s Office. Ma Ziqiang held a copy of yesterday's sales statistics report of "Three Kingdoms" in his hand and walked quickly into Du Wenhai's office. He knew that Editor-in-Chief Du was impatiently waiting for this sales statistics report, so he had been waiting in the sales department office, urging the sales department staff to quickly compile yesterday's sales data from major bookstores collected from various places. Once the sales data were collected, Ma Ziqiang took the sales statistics report and hurried to the editor-in-chief¡¯s office to report. "Editor-in-chief Du, the all-day sales statistics report of "Three Kingdoms" came out yesterday." Xiao Ma handed the sales statistics report to Du Wenhai and said excitedly. Of course, he has reason to be excited. He just took a look at this sales statistics report. Yesterday, "Three Kingdoms" sold more than 40,000 copies, and the sales were booming. Logically speaking, whether the book is selling like hotcakes or selling out on the street, it has nothing to do with him as a small employee who earns several thousand yuan a month. However, when I think about last year, due to the huge sales of the two books "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of the Great Powers", the publishing house brought a huge profit. Last year, he received more than 40,000 yuan in year-end awards. This year. There are also the last three parts of "The Rise of the Great Powers", plus the current sales of "Three Kingdoms". It can be imagined that this year's annual bonus will be similar to this amount, and may be even more. Because "Three Kingdoms" is more popular than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". Ma Ziqiang felt an indescribable feeling of pleasure when he thought that at last year's class reunion, his college classmate Huang Lei, who worked at Huanghe Publishing House, complained to him that his year-end bonus was only a few thousand yuan, and envied him that his year-end bonus was more than 40,000 yuan. "Xiao Ma, I see how excited you are. It seems that the book is selling well, how many copies?" Du Wenhai took the sales statistics report handed over by Ma Ziqiang and asked with a smile. "Mr. Du, the book sales are indeed good. It is higher than the first-day sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of Great Powers", with 41,500 copies." Xiao Ma said. Hear the words. 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 books, with more than 4,000 copies signed at the book signing event alone. Secondly, it was in the Jiangjian area where the literary style was flourishing and life was affluent. Du Wenhai glanced directly at the total sales data at the end. 41500. Marked in bold red font. It was very conspicuous, making him happy and happy. Seeing this number, he had an idea of ??how many copies of The Three Kingdoms could be sold. The upper, middle and lower copies can sell at least 2 million to 3 million copies. Based on this calculation, we can roughly estimate the profit that "Three Kingdoms" brought to the publishing house. Give the author 18% of the royalties, which is about the same. If the book reaches 400,000 copies, the publisher can maintain its capital. With 2 million to 3 million copies, it seems like a sure profit. You can also make a lot of money. ¡ª¡ª "Appreciating the Three Kingdoms" has become popular.

Luo Guanzhong himself was a down-and-out intellectual, depressed and frustrated, so he gave necessary sympathy and beautification to semi-intellectuals such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Cao Cao, who became a hero, was disdainful and very jealous and dissatisfied. Therefore, in his works, we saw a perfect Liu Bei, a semi-demon-like Zhuge Liang, and a Cao Cao who even children would call a bad guy. . The Cao Cao described by Luo Guanzhong is too narrow-minded, suspicious, lustful, but is this really the case? This book "Taste of the Three Kingdoms" will allow readers to see a different Cao Cao, a real Cao Cao in China. The famous historian Gao Daquan commented.
