Three minutes later, 700,000 books of the second round were all sold out.
Seeing this, Zhang Xingjie was overwhelmed by a strong sense of happiness.
When Zhang Xingjie saw the words “sold out” appearing on the pre-order page again, he was so ecstatic that his mind went blank.
He was so exhilarated that he had so many things to say, but he failed to utter a word for a long while!
There was only one simplest word to express his excitement in his mind—alive!
Not only Zhang Xingjie, but all the people in the publishing house who were paying attention to this round of preordering were also nonplussed!
No one could expect this.
While the publishing business remained extremely slack these days, there were still so many people who were so enthusiastic about buying books.
For a moment, all the people in the publishing industry were thinking, “Does this mean that Fang Qiu’s book still has a lot of potentials that hasn’t been fully achieved?”
The second round of pre-order came after the first round.
Was there a third round after the second round of pre-order ended?
Could this book complete the third round of pre-order?
However, these big shots were fully aware that there would never be the third round of pre-order of Fang Qiu’s book.
Because the current publishing industry was too stagnant, the printing industry was not as popular as expected. They could only start the pre-order based on the number of new books that the printing company could finish printing at a certain time. According to the news released by Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company and Dangran, there were only five days left before the new book was released.
That was to say, in these five days, Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company had expedited the printing of 1.2 million books. Even if there were still some extra books left, they must sell them in physical stores. Otherwise, the announcement of the release date would be completely meaningless.
Therefore, the third round of pre-order would never happen.
However, even though there was no pre-order, people could still buy the book in brick and mortar bookstores.
Soon, everyone in the publishing industry thought of the business of brick and mortar stores.
Without the third round of pre-order, people couldn’t buy it online. The only place where they could buy it could only be brick and mortar stores.
At that time, those bookstores…
At the thought of this, everyone was shocked.
“If that’s the case, Fang Qiu… is going to make history!”
The second round of pre-order ended.
700,000 books sold out in 3 minutes.
Even though the books were sold out so quickly, there were still many people who couldn’t buy Fang Qiu’s book, which made everyone go to complain on Dangran’s website.
“When will the third round of pre-order come?”
“Can’t it be supplied unlimitedly? Why are you doing hunger marketing?”
“Isn’t that too few? There are only 1.2 million books in two rounds. It’s not enough at all!”
“Start the third round quickly.”
“Please launch the third round of pre-order!”
As the company couldn’t stand the crazy bombardment of requests from netizens, Dangran hurriedly made a statement on its official website and official Weibo.
“#Fang Qiu’s new book# The second round of pre-order is over. 700,000 new books have sold out in 3 minutes! Thank you for your support. Also, we’re sorry to tell you that there will not be a third round of pre-order. If you like the book, please buy it from physical bookstores 4 days later. Thank you for your support again!”
Seeing the statement, everyone felt helpless.
If they couldn’t order it online, they could only wait until tomorrow to reserve it in the nearest bookstores.
Just when the netizens were having a heated discussion about Fang Qiu’s new book, in the house of Holy Doctor Chu’s house in the northeast, since Xu Miaolin left, Holy Doctor Chu, who had been sitting and reading the book for several hours, suddenly stood up, took the book, and ran out.
At this moment, a young man, who came from the field of medicinal plants outside, just took back the herbs that had been dried in the sun for a day.
This person was Luo Jie, the apprentice of Holy Doctor Chu, who took part in the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor with Fang Qiu and won second place in the end.
“Eh?” Seeing Holy Doctor Chu running out crazily, Luo Jie was stunned at first. Watching that Holy Doctor Chu had no intention of stopping, he immediately shouted at his back, “Master, what are you going to do?”
“I’ll let the other two old men read this book!” Holy Doctor Chu raised the book in his hand and replied loudly without looking back.
“Master, you have to book a flight ticket. You can’t get there by running!” Luo Jie was speechless.
He naturally knew who the two old fellows his master mentioned were.
They were the other two remaining holy doctors.
But how could he reach them by running like this?
Holy Doctor Chu stopped at once after hearing that.
He turned around and said to Luo Jie, “Book me a flight ticket right now. I’m going to the airport first!”
After that, he turned around and continued to run wildly.
Watching his master leave in excitement, Luo Jie was speechless and amazed.
What made him speechless was that his master was so exhilarated because of a book.
What amazed him was that a book could actually make his master behave like this.
“What kind of book is this?”
Fang Qiu didn’t focus on the sales performance of the book. Instead, he focused on everything he should do.
Because he had contacted the Chinese Medicine hospital that he would go to see patients this month, Fang Qiu posted a notice on his Weibo in advance.
Seeing this post, everyone began to complain.
“Billion Fang, you don’t promote your book, but only know where to see patients. Aren’t you too irresponsible for your career?”
“You’re still in the mood to see patients. Hurry up and go to print more new books. We can’t buy it!”
“Master Fang, you’re really a newsmaker. Big things happened one after another in the past few days. Don’t you need to take a rest?”
While complaining, there were also many people who envied the selected city and felt that the people in that city were so blessed.
Just like before, the local patients immediately began to prepare to register to see him as soon as Fang Qiu posted the news on Weibo.
That night, a large number of patients arrived at the local Chinese Medicine hospital. In order to get in line ahead of time, some people even especially went to stay in hospital. Their purpose was to occupy the position. After all, the hospital would only allow people to register at 7:30 a.m. the next day. At about 7:00 a.m., the medical hall of the hospital would be open. Only when the hall was open could people enter and line up. Therefore, patients who were hospitalized could line up as soon as the hall was open.
Of course, many people also gathered in the emergency clinic hall, ready to rest there and wait for the hall to open.
Fortunately, no patient with an emergency showed up all night.
At six o’clock the next morning, a large group of people gathered in front of the clinic hall of the local Chinese Medicine hospital, waiting for the hall to open.
At seven o’clock, the open space in front of the Chinese Medicine hospital was completely occupied by patients.
With the opening of the clinic hall, a dense stream of people poured in.
The security department of the Chinese Medicine hospital immediately came to maintain order.
Soon, there were several long lines in the clinic hall.
This scene wasn’t inferior to that of the other cities in the slightest.
Of course, there were also a lot of patients flying over from other cities. They all came to find Fang Qiu.
At 7:30 in the morning, led by the doctors of the Chinese Medicine hospital, Fang Qiu came to the consulting room prepared for him by the hospital, ready to see patients.
Such a popular scene was once again posted on the Internet.
However, everyone got used to this kind of scene.
After all, that was Fang Qiu.
It would be strange if Fang Qiu was not popular during his consultation.
At eight o’clock, the consultation began!
Fang Qiu didn’t dare to slack off at all, making every effort to treat his patients.
It seemed that because Fang Qiu had caused so much news recently, many patients liked to chat with him. Most of the time, they talked about Fang Qiu’s new book, Chinese Medicine in Human Body, which made Fang Qiu feel quite helpless.
Fortunately, this did not affect the speed of Fang Qiu seeing patients.
One day passed.
Fang Qiu also saw hundreds of patients.
The next morning, after seeing all the patients, Fang Qiu didn’t even have time to rest. After saying goodbye to the Director of the Chinese Medicine hospital, he immediately took a plane to Beijiang.
According to the time, it was about time for the Tianshan Snow Lotus to mature.
This was the first time that the Tianshan Snow Lotus was cultivated, so Fang Qiu had to go back and see what was going on. He had to see if the efficacy of the Snow Lotus was as good as he had imagined.
However, just as Fang Qiu was flying to Beijiang, something caused a sensation in the entire Chinese Medicine industry.
The three holy doctors who hadn’t shown up for a long time actually spoke at the same time, promoting Fang Qiu’s new book, Chinese Medicine in Human Body. They also said that a highly-skilled doctor must read this book because it contained the knowledge of becoming a holy doctor!
As this news spread, it caused a sensation in the entire Chinese Medicine industry.
All the people in the Chinese Medicine industry were deeply astonished!
Xu Miaolin, who had just arrived in Jiangjing, was also completely dumbfounded when he heard the news.
“What the f*ck. My father-in-law is going to make a fuss.”
Countless people went crazy!
Those who had constantly failed to become highly-skilled doctors for a long time were crazy, so were the people who failed to break through to become holy doctors. And those who had studied hard in the Chinese Medicine industry also went wild!
The holy doctors spoke at the same time to promote a book together.
“Is Fang Qiu’s book so awesome?”
“How could the three holy doctors promote the same book and claim that there is a path which shows how to become a holy doctor in the book?”
“Oh my God. The three holy doctors think too highly of Fang Qiu’s Chinese Medicine in Human Body, don’t they?”
“Are you kidding? Fang Qiu is still in college. He is not a highly-skilled doctor himself. How can he write a book containing the method of becoming a holy doctor?”
“What the hell is this book about?”
“Does anyone know the content of Chinese Medicine in Human Body?”
For a moment, countless people asked in shock.
However, Chinese Medicine in Human Body had just finished preordering and had not been officially sold yet, so no one knew what the content was.
Although some people had received the books in advance, those people were all celebrities and big shots in the entertainment circle. How could ordinary people contact them?
Those celebrities were not fools. When Fang Qiu sent books to them, they could also gain popularity, in addition to helping Fang Qiu promote it, which was beneficial to their popularity. Therefore, before Chinese Medicine in Human Body officially started being sold, they would never reveal the contents because it would affect the sales of the book. They did not dare to act recklessly.
Even when they helped Fang Qiu promote the new book, there was only a cover on the photos they took. There were no extra words, not even the name of the book.
As people couldn’t get any information after asking countless people online, they had to search online on their own.
But when they searched, they found that tomorrow was the day of the formal sale of the book. It was almost impossible to see the contents now.
Ultimately, countless Chinese Medicine doctors raced to the nearest physical bookstores to reserve the book.
