Chapter 908 A Wondrous Book of Chinese Medicine Anatomy
The next day, the sale began all over the country.
At 8:30 in the morning, when the bookstores opened, there were already long lines of people outside their doors.
The bookstores’ clerks were all stunned.
“What’s going on? Haven’t all the copies been ordered? Why are there so many people here?”
With the question in mind, the clerks began to work.
The moment they opened the door, those people swarmed in.
“Where is Chinese Medicine in Human Body?”
“I want to buy Chinese Medicine in Human Body!”
The people who rushed into the stores asked.
“Well, only 20 copies arrived today, so I could only give them to the buyers according to the scheduled order, sorry.”
The clerk was embarra.s.sed but he apologized politely and then made phone calls according to the buyer list. Unexpectedly, the first 20 people who ordered the book were all present.
They were extremely excited to get the copies. Those who didn’t get the copies all gathered around them, wanting to see the content.
However, the 20 people who got the books didn’t allow others to read them at all, afraid that the books would be robbed or torn apart. They took the books and ran away.
Helplessly, others could only continue to wait, and those who had not ordered the book before also rushed over to order it, even though they were ranked at the end of the pre-order list.
There were also many people who offered high prices to buy the books from the first 20 people, but they were refused.
Everyone could only urge the bookstores in unison to stock up as soon as possible. So many people were still waiting to buy the book.
They were so eager that the clerk could only report the situation in the bookstore to his superior.
Similar scenes happened in bookstores of major cities all over the country.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of book it was as soon as possible.
Soon, there was another uproar on Weibo.
Countless people complained that they failed to get Fang Qiu’s book. Although they had pre-ordered it, it’s unknown when they would receive it.
Of course, most of the Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioners with high expectations for the book failed to buy it either, because when they went to make an order, there was already a long line of people before them. They failed to buy it even if they offered a high price, so they could only continue to wait to get the book.
300,000 copies were distributed to bookstores all over the country and each store’s portion was few.
In just a few minutes, the 300,000 copies were all sold out!
At the same time, the data about Chinese Medicine in Human Body also spread on the internet.
“The total online pre-order volume of Chinese Medicine in Human Body was 1.2 million copies.”
“And it’s about one million copies offline.”
The data once again shocked everyone in the publis.h.i.+ng industry!
Someone uploaded the data into the WeChat group of people from the publis.h.i.+ng industry.
They all remained silent when they see it.
It was not that they had nothing to say, but that they were too shocked to speak.
What did this data mean?
It was simply a miracle that all the people in the industry thought impossible to achieve.
However, a guy named Fang Qiu made it.
All the publishers across the country were shocked and quickly made a decision to follow the trend!
No matter what, they must know the content of Fang Qiu’s book ahead of others and then find a suitable person to write a similar book as soon as possible!
That was because Fang Qiu’s book was so popular that they were jealous.
2.2 million copies were pre-ordered and this was just pre-order. There would be a long period of selling in the future. According to the trend, the total sales volume might even exceed three million!
They didn’t even dare to think about that they could sell so many copies.
Therefore, they wanted to follow the trend. Even if they couldn’t sell three million copies, they could make a killing by selling three hundred thousand copies.
Of course, in the publis.h.i.+ng industry, they all felt very shameless about the idea of following the trend when they came up with it.
This was how the movie industry in Xiangjiang went down and how the physical book industry was ruined.
But most importantly, they could make money!
Anyway, they would do it!
After making the decision, the major publishers began to take action. On the one hand, they sent someone to contact the writers who could follow the trend and write a similar book, and on the other hand, they sent someone to hurry to order Fang Qiu’s book at the bookstores. At the same time, they offered a high price online to purchase the book. If they could get the book before other publishers, they could seize the initiative.
400,000 new copies were delivered the next day.
Although it sounded much more than 300,000, the 400,000 copies were all taken away in just a few minutes by the customers who had ordered them.
Among them, many Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioners got the book.
However, most of them were students who regarded Fang Qiu as their idol, and a small number of them were skeptical about Fang Qiu’s book. The rest were lucky ones.
In addition to these people, of course, a small number of scalpers also got the ordered books.
Scalpers were at any places where there was money to earn.
When they heard that Fang Qiu had written a book and 500,000 copies were pre-ordered in just one minute, they aimed at this profitable business.
But they were still too late, and they could only pre-order it in the offline bookstores.
Now, the scalpers got the copies and immediately sold them at a high price on the internet.
Because someone had raised the price to several times higher than the actual price on the internet before, as soon as the scalpers got the copies, they immediately sold them at the price ten times higher than the actual price.
Some people really bought the copies from scalpers.
Many people thus were able to get a copy through this method. Especially those highly-skilled doctors who had been looking forward to the book for a long time got some copies through the scalpers and acquaintances.
After getting the copies, the highly-skilled doctors began to read it in a hurry.
As soon as they read it, these highly-skilled doctors were all shocked!
In the Chinese Medicine industry, they could be regarded as experts and professors, even talents who were more outstanding. But after reading this book, they found that it was difficult for them to evaluate it.
The book made them feel that the human body was very magical, and so was Chinese Medicine!
It was so magical that they couldn’t help asking, “Is this true?”
Everyone who read this book was excited.
“Oh my G.o.d, this book is amazing. It actually contains the changes of a hundred prescriptions in the human body?”
“Awesome. This is the only book I have read that records the changes of viscera in the human body in twenty-four hours!”
“It’s amazing. In this book, there are manifestations of 12 meridians flowing in the human body, opening and closing changes of acupuncture points at a certain time, and even pictures attached to them! How did Fang Qiu do it?”
The whole Chinese Medicine industry was filled with exclamations.
No one dared to believe that Fang Qiu had explained all the abstract and incomprehensible things of Chinese Medicine in this book and displayed them in front of everyone.
This was like doing a surgery in Western medicine, which would dissect everything thoroughly!
With this book, people got to understand traditional Chinese Medicine, which used to be hard to understand for most people. They used to think that Chinese Medicine was fantasy and superst.i.tion, but they found the most reasonable and truthful answers in this book.
How could they not be shocked?
There was no doubt that Chinese Medicine in Human Body could be a book about dissecting Chinese Medicine.
It dissected human body from the perspective of Chinese Medicine.
Only then did everyone understand why Fang Qiu chose Chinese Medicine in Human Body as the name of this book.
Even those doctors of Chinese Medicine themselves were confused. They didn’t know whether what Fang Qiu said in the book was true or not because they didn’t know those things before. For example, they did not know what kind of changes of medicine would take place in body.
But they believed that Fang Qiu knew it.
That was because Fang Qiu had already shown it on an international stage. He could use Insight for others and it would be much easier for him to use it himself.
Of course, there were also many people who doubted that Fang Qiu was lying about what no one knew.
However, since this book was recommended by the three holy doctors, these people no longer dared to question him.
The recommendation of the three holy doctors endorsed this book.
The path of becoming a holy doctor was in the book!
Since the three holy doctors said so, it must be true!
There were also many people from the school of empiricism who compared their medical experience with the content in the book. They were surprised to find that the two really matched!
Some people even found the illnesses they could not cure in this book. Because they failed to cure them, they had been puzzled for a long time.
But after reading the changes of human body written in the book, they were suddenly enlightened!
“So that’s how it is!” they thought happily.
The book had only been on sale for two days and was like a treasure for Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioners.
This was a marvelous book!
With the help of the book, not only could they clear their doubts, but they could also clearly see many things that they could not see before.
The most important thing was that the more they read it, the more they felt that this book was profound, the more clearly they understood Chinese Medicine, and the more they felt that Chinese Medicine was alive, just like a living person standing in front of them!
Many people who didn’t know much about Chinese Medicine began to feel that learning Chinese Medicine was no longer so hard. Instead, they had a clear understanding of the basic knowledge about Chinese Medicine, including the usage, purpose, and effect of the medicines and what would happen after a part of body experienced something, and so on.
It seemed that this book was a textbook that could let people understand Chinese Medicine!
Of course, among all the readers, those highly-skilled doctors had gained the most.
Because they had more experience and knowledge, they would have more exchanges through the book. At the same time, they would have a clearer understanding of the book than ordinary people and have their own a.n.a.lysis of the content of the book. So, they gained several times more than them.
Learning so much from the book made them so excited that they even used their meal time to read the book, thinking hard about what they needed to think about.
Meanwhile, those young Chinese Medicine doctors who partic.i.p.ated in Young Chinese Medicine Doctor with Fang Qiu also got the book.
They were defeated by Fang Qiu in Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, but they were not convinced!
Therefore, after getting off the stage of the show, they began to study desperately, trying to prove that they were not worse than Fang Qiu. But when they got Fang Qiu’s book and read the content, they, especially the top ten partic.i.p.ants of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, were all shocked!
