Chapter 849: It Must Be Pretty Good, Right?

Major publishing houses are envious and jealous, and some publishing houses may even have a little hatred, such as Qiuyu Publishing House. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Han Feng and Huang Zhaoyang couldn't believe it at first.

380,000 copies, this Nima data is wrong, right?

If it had been yesterday's first day of sales of 380,000 copies, they wouldn't have been as surprised as they are now.

100,000 copies on the first day, 380,000 copies on the second day, this Nima is missing a decimal point, it should be 38,000 copies, right?

They were still saying yesterday that the total sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be difficult to exceed 400,000 copies, and this Nima has only reached 480,000 copies in the second day, which is too fast.

Huang Zhaoyang scolded secretly, "Ma, what's going on? Are we really looking away? Then Li Fan is obviously the first time to write this kind of work, how can there be such a high sales?"

Han Feng said: "Lao Huang, what I'm worried about now is its sales tomorrow, if it continues to rise, I'm afraid the magazine will have opinions on us!"

"Ma Dan!" Huang Zhaoyang scolded again, he naturally had the same worry.

If the sales of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone continue to rise, they will really have some trouble.

Although they are also the heads of the magazine, Qiuyu Publishing House is a first-class large-scale publishing house in China, and there are several shareholders alone, and the shareholders are not very happy with each other.

If there are shareholders who are not close to them, and they can make some articles about their decision-making mistakes this time, and deal with the shareholder who is close to them, it will be a bit difficult to do.

After thinking about it, Huang Zhaoyang continued: "Don't worry, Lao Han, it is impossible to continue to rise, the market is so big, today is the peak period of purchase, and tomorrow will return to yesterday's sales, and then every day will continue to decrease, this is the law of the market." It is already inconceivable that it destroys the law of the market once, and it is impossible to destroy it again and again, again and again. ā€

Han Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, the laws of the market cannot be destroyed all the time. In addition, the entries of Jim, Chuttle, Laitony, Antar and others this time also sold well in the past two days. Among them, Jim's "Dream Country", the cumulative sales in the past two days have reached 160,000 copies, 90,000 copies on the first day, and 70,000 copies today. Such data can also add some leverage to us. ā€

Huang Zhaoyang also nodded and said, "That's right, we don't need to worry too much. ā€

After speaking, the two glanced at each other and suddenly smiled easily.

......

Lan Guo.

Jim's entry "Dream Country" this time has been selling well in many countries for two consecutive days, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 1 million copies, which is very happy.

However, the news from China that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold 380,000 copies the next day made Jim's good mood dissipate a lot.

On the first day, the sales of 100,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were slightly higher than the sales of 90,000 copies of his "Dream Country", which was completely expected by Jim.

After all, Li Fan is the first person in Chinese children's literature, and he has a variety of identities, and his works can sell a lot just by virtue of his name.

But the next day's sales, 380,000 copies to 70,000 copies, this is a complete crushing.

And the reason for this is most likely because the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is really well written.

Otherwise, this would not have been the case.

Jim frowned slightly, really good writing? Fortunately, the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that he ordered had arrived, and it had been sent to Jared's Sander Publishing House, and the translator was asked to help translate it.

Presumably, it won't take long to be able to see it.

Jim didn't have to wait long, and that night, Jerry arrived at Jim's house with two books.

As soon as Jim beckoned Jerred to sit down, Jerred handed him a book and said, "Jim, this is the Lanish version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that you wanted." I knew you needed it urgently, so I asked the workers to hurry up and print two copies, you take one and I will take the rest with me. ā€

Jim took the book that Jerry handed him, and instead of reading it immediately, he put it aside and said, "Sorry for you, Jerry." I heard that the book sold 380,000 copies the next day, what do you think? ā€

"It's really surprising, and I think I need to go back and read the book." ā€

Jim nodded, "Jerry, you're right, we really should have a good read." ā€

Jerry said, "Okay, Jim, goodbye for now, I have to go." ā€

Jim said, "Okay, Jerry, goodbye." ā€

After Jerry left with another book, Jim picked up the blue version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that had just been placed aside with a solemn expression.

The book has no cover, the printing is not elaborate, and it is clear that it was rushed out, but Jim doesn't care about that.

He opened the text and began to read.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, who live at No. 4 Privet Road, always proudly say that they are very well-behaved people, please, please. They have never been involved in strange things, because they don't believe in those evil ways at all......"

This first paragraph shocked Jim's heart, this work is set in their Western world, how do you feel now, the habits and methods of this text narrative are also similar to their Western writers?

If he hadn't known that this was the work of Li Fan, Jim would have thought that it was the work of some Western writer.

Is this the case with Li Fan's original text? Or did the translators of Sand Press deliberately change the narrative habits of their Western writers in the process of translation?

Jim thought he needed to go to the translator tomorrow to make sure.

Putting his thoughts aside for a moment, Jim continued to look down.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became, and the more I looked at it, the more incredible I felt.

He also gradually understood the reason why "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was able to sell 380,000 copies the next day.

......

After Jerry came out of Jim's house, he went straight back to his home.

As soon as he entered the door, his 12-year-old daughter Lucy ran over, hugged Jerry's leg and said, "Dad, you're back, did you buy the book in your hand just for me?"

Hearing his children say this, Jerry had to secretly scream that he had promised to buy a copy of his daughter's children's fantasy literature today.

However, on the way back, he kept thinking about the fact that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold 380,000 copies the next day, and he forgot about buying books for his daughter.

My daughter likes to read books very much, fairy tales, fantasy literature, children's poetry, children's prose, and other books that can be understood.

Jerry is also very proud that he has such a daughter who loves to read.

It's just that Jerry is often a little distressed now.

Because, my daughter is 12 years old, this age is not big, it is not small, there are few books suitable for this age, plus my daughter has read too many books, and she is becoming more and more picky about books.

Even fewer want to find a book for your daughter.

Jerry recently bought a book for his daughter, and few of the books his daughter said she liked it, and they all said that they could only barely read it, which made Jerry nerve-wracking.

Today, when Jerry went out, he promised his daughter that he would definitely buy a book today to satisfy her daughter.

However, let alone buying a book that satisfies his daughter, he simply forgot about it.

Jerry coughed lightly, and was about to tell his daughter that he had forgotten about buying the book today and that he would buy it back tomorrow.

But when I looked down, I saw my daughter's eyes full of hope, and I just wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.

Jerry couldn't help but be a little anxious, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in his hand.

My heart suddenly moved, and I thought, "Isn't this Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone fantasy literature? Although my daughter will probably not like it and will be disappointed, it is better than the disappointment that I forgot to buy her a book." ā€

Thinking about it, Jerry laughed and said, "Of course, Lucy, this is the book I bought for you." ā€

Lucy cheered, took the book from Jerry's hand, and ran away happily.

But she didn't take two steps before Lucy turned around, looked at Jerry suspiciously, and said, "But, Dad, why doesn't it have a cover?" ā€

"This... Ahem!" Jerry coughed lightly and said, "That's right, Lucy, this is a new sample book from Daddy's Press, which has not yet been released, and Daddy specially brought it back for Lucy to see." ā€

Lucy's eyes lit up when she heard Jerry say this, and she said, "Really, Daddy, it must be very pretty, right?"

Jerry coughed lightly again and said, "Hmm... Yes!"
