Chapter 340: Just one of the good friends?
He Xu remembered that today was the day when Su Xing's album was released.
He took some time out in the morning to log into Weibo and saw the Weibo post forwarded by Su Xing. He clicked on the book purchase link and placed an order for 100 books.
He decided to send them to everyone he had a good relationship with, and keep the rest for himself.
My girlfriend’s first picture album is still very memorable.
The day before, Su Xing had told her parents in the family of three’s group chat that her photo album would be on the 6th.
Su Shaohui and Zhou Liyun started checking Weibo early in the morning.
When they saw the album launch announcement and the link to purchase the book sent out by the official WeChat account of China Pictorial Publishing House, they quickly clicked on it.
The kid's father: "Yun, please order a few more copies!"
The child's mother: "Are ten books enough?"
The kid's father: "Give me ten more. I want to give a few to Lao Liu and the others."
The child’s mother: “Okay.”
Neither the couple planned to publicize their daughter's picture album to relatives, friends and colleagues.
One reason is that they are not the kind of people who show off, and they never do things in a high-profile manner.
Second, they felt that their daughter was not someone who liked to be the center of too much attention, and they were afraid that too many people would know her ID and cause her trouble.
So they bought these picture albums, not only to keep them for themselves, but also to give them to close relatives and friends.
At this moment, the comment section of Su Xing's Weibo is also very lively.
"Wow! The album is finally out! I've been waiting for it for so long!"
"Great! I can finally buy a physical album! Place the order!"
"I've never been so eager for a charity album, and now it's finally here! Without further ado, let's buy it!"
"My daughter is a huge fan of the artist, I have to buy her a copy!"
"I am an old fan who has watched the artist grow step by step. I am so happy to see that her art book is finally on the market! I will place an order for ten copies!"
“Holy crap! Wasn’t it just released today? And already the sales are almost over 3,000 copies??”
Many local official Vs are following Su Xing and have been paying attention to her Weibo updates.
Seeing that her album was on the market, some official Weibo accounts that were sure that the album contained environmental protection stories from their hometowns also began to place orders, and the number of orders was not small.
What a great opportunity this is to promote my hometown.
You can give these to investors when attracting investment. Not only does it give you face, it also helps to visually show the changes in their hometown over the years.
In addition to the comments expressing support and people who quietly placed orders, there were of course also quite a few haters.
"Yo! You're finally making money!"
"Still want more support? Support what? Just intuitively say you want money!"
"You're asking for money so confidently! Haha!"
"What's so worth buying about a crappy environmental protection picture book? I won't buy it anyway."
Many fans were originally very happy to see the news that the album was on the market, but when they saw the haters in the comment section, their mood was instantly affected.
Some fans couldn't help but start to criticize.
"Does it matter to you whether the money is made or not? The painter won't take your money from your pocket, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Making money with your own ability, earning income through labor, and trading voluntarily, aren't these all natural things? How come some people say it's "asking for money"?]
"I just saw that you guys are so confident in getting something for free, haha!"
"As long as we, the buyers, feel it's worth it, do we need you to feel the same way?"
"If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. From your tone, it seems that the illustrator will be left with nothing without your sales! (Expression: Laughing and crying)"
……
When Su Xing was taking a lunch break, she saw her parents discussing the issue in the group.
Xiao Xing: "Oh! Dad, Mom! Why are you guys ordering picture albums? Don't buy too much!"
The child's mother: "I didn't buy too many, just twenty."
The child's father: "Don't worry, we won't just send it away."
Xiao Xing: "Okay..."
Su Xing returned to the dormitory after lunch.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard Pei Shiqi's voice, "Let me order a hundred copies first."
Su Xing quickly shouted: "Stop!!"
When she walked in, she saw several roommates checking their phones.
She asked Pei Shiqi, "What did you order? It's not my album, is it?"
Pei Shiqi said: "Yes, your album is on the market today, we have to support it."
Su Xing said, "Don't place the order! Where are you going to put 100 copies? You can't just give them out to everyone you meet, right? I appreciate your kindness, but please don't do this!"
Gao Yang also said: "I said that Lao Si would definitely not agree if he knew about it, so just buy a few copies to show your support. Buying too many will take up space and be a waste."
Pei Shiqi thought about it and said, "Okay, then I'll buy ten copies and give them to my friends."
Gao Yang said: "I will also give a few copies to my friends."
Zhang Caifeng said: "I will buy a few copies for my brother and sister."
The roommates must contribute a few sales, and Su Xing will not stop them as long as the number is not too exaggerated.
She quickly sent messages to Zhang Xueyan, Huang Wenwen and others, forbidding them to buy too many picture albums.
After Su Xing received ten finished picture albums from the publishing house, he gave one copy each to several roommates, Zhang Xueyan, and Huang Wenwen.
We also mailed picture albums and some cultural and creative products from the Luoyang Museum to Tang Wu, Tian Cheng, Zheng Fei, and Li Yanyan.
Of course, I also left one copy for He Xu.
She originally wanted to place an order to have some shipped home, but when she saw her parents bought some, she gave up.
Su Xing clicked on Weibo and saw overwhelming comments, likes, reposts and private messages.
When she saw the Weibo post forwarded by Tang Wu, she quickly went to chat with Tang Wu privately.
Can't I wake up? "Sister Tang, I mailed you a picture album, don't place an order to buy it yourself. I also mailed you some cultural and creative products sent by the Luoyang Museum, you can keep them for fun."
Tang Wu: "Are you afraid that I will place an order to boost sales?"
Can I not wake up? "I just feel that buying too much is useless."
Tang Wu: "Don't worry, I didn't buy a lot. I just bought a few to donate to some students."
Can I not wake up? "Okay, thank you Sister Tang..."
Tang Wu: "Why are you being so polite to me?"
……
In the evening, Su Xing received a call from Tian Cheng.
As soon as the call was connected, Tian Cheng's tone was lemony, "Su Xing, am I still your friend?"
Su Xing said: "Of course! You are one of my best friends!"
"Really? Then you didn't tell me such a big thing as the release of your album, and I had to see it on Weibo myself!"
"Don't be angry, I was wrong..." Su Xing admitted his mistake first, and then said: "However, after I got the picture album sent by the publishing house, I mailed it to you and Zheng Fei, as well as some cultural and creative products. You should receive them soon."
When Tian Cheng heard Su Xing say that he had mailed her a picture album, she didn't have time to be happy before she heard that she was not the only one, Zheng Fei and the others also got one!
She said sourly: "Sure enough, I am just one of your good friends..."
