Chapter 1376: A Thorn That Can't Be Removed
Kesford Press.
Hearing his assistant's words, Aihua nodded unexpectedly.
He knew that "Sherlock Holmes" would definitely be a big seller.
Later, the assistant said, "Mr. Evado, our first printing is 300,000 copies, and according to the current trend, it is very likely that all of them will be sold out today." So, how many copies will be printed in the second batch?"
Evado said: "1 million copies." ”
"A million copies?" said the assistant, a little surprised, "Mr. Evado, could it be too much?"
Iovaldo shook his head and said: "No, not only will it not, but it is not enough, the influence of Sherlock Holmes will be greater and greater." Because, his story is far from over. ”
The assistant was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and said, "What does Mr. Evado mean is that Mr. Li Fan will continue to write the story of Sherlock Holmes?"
Aiguo nodded and smiled: "That's true, and there are quite a few of them." ”
Hearing Iodo's confirmation, the assistant was excited and excited.
One is because he is also a fan of Sherlock Holmes, so he naturally wants to see more stories about Sherlock Holmes.
Second, with the increasing fame of Sherlock Holmes, the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" are destined to get higher and higher.
......
Langdun City, in a private room of a hotel.
Tris, the first detective in the Lan Kingdom, was inviting a group of detectives to drink and eat.
In celebration of Tris's "Scarlet Sun", today's sales are likely to exceed 200,000 copies, and they finally removed the thorn that Li Fan brought to them that was stuck in their throats.
"Tris, congratulations, congratulations, come, I toast you. ”
"Tris, this time we were able to remove that thorn, mainly thanks to you. At the scene that day, it was you who used a trick to get Li Fan's house to agree to release a new book on the same day as you, and it was also your "Scarlet Sun" that defeated Li Fan's house. Tris, I'll toast you too. ”
“......”
Listening to the various compliments of the detective writers, Tris was very proud, and then said modestly: "Actually, Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" this time is not a threat at all, and today's sales are only expected to exceed 10,000 copies, even if it is your new book released today, you can easily win him." ”
"Tris, while you're right, and we can easily win him, we certainly won't be able to sell 200,000 copies. The effect will inevitably be much worse. ”
"That's right, 10,000 copies and 200,000 copies, only this powerful comparison can make people feel more comfortable. ”
“......”
The compliments of the writers once again made Triss proud, and then he pretended to be modest.
At this time, Triss's assistant walked into the private room, looked at the writers who were drinking and eating, and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't seem to know how to speak, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
Tris saw it and said, "Dyce, what do you want to say?"
An assistant named Days walked up to Triss and whispered a few words.
Tris's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "Dyce, are you sure?"
Days shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Triss, the news is indeed true, and there will be no mistake." ”
Tris's face changed again, and he muttered in disbelief, "How is this possible?
The rest of the writers were all puzzled when they saw Triss like this, and one of them asked, "Tris, what happened?"
Tris didn't answer, the look on his face was a little lost, and after a moment, he suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, this is the end of our celebration for today, and there is one thing I must confirm for myself." ”
After speaking, Tris turned around and walked out of the private room door directly, looking very anxious.
The rest of the writers looked at each other, and one writer stopped Dyce, who was about to go out, and asked, "Dyce, what happened?"
Days hesitated for a moment, but then said: "According to the news I just got, the sales of Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" have surpassed Tris's "Scarlet Sun". ”
"How is that possible? Dyce, are you sure you're not mistaken?" said one writer, shocked.
The rest of the writers also looked incredulous.
How can "Sherlock Holmes", which they expect to sell more than 10,000 copies, surpass "Scarlet Sun"?
Days sighed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, the news can't be wrong. And... Moreover, according to the current sales growth trend, the final sales of "Sherlock Holmes" today are likely to exceed that of "Scarlet Sun". ”
"It's... How is that possible?" the faces of the writers changed.
If it is really as Deiss said, on the surface, it is only Tris who lost to Li Fan, but in fact, it is Li Fan who won again, and all the detective writers in their Lan country.
The thorn stuck in their throat not only couldn't be removed, but it would get deeper and deeper, which would only make them more uncomfortable.
What's even more terrifying is that this time such a good opportunity can't remove that thorn, and if you want to remove it in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Unless their mentality can change, they can completely accept and recognize Li Fan's status in the detective world of Languo from their hearts.
That thorn may be able to get rid of itself without taking it.
Only, is this really possible? In that case, where should they put their face?
All of a sudden, all of the writers turned pale, and where did they have any intention of continuing to drink and eat?
They got up one after another, said goodbye, and left the private room.
They are still very unwilling, and they are very unconvinced, and they want to go through their own channels to understand the real-time sales situation.
However, no matter how lucky they were, it didn't work, and the answer they got was the same.
As of 8 p.m., according to incomplete statistics, the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" have reached 290,000 copies.
And the sales of "Scarlet Sun" are also very high, reaching 180,000 copies.
It's just that this data, which could have made all the detective writers in Languo ecstatic, seems quite ironic at this time.
The difference between the two is exactly 110,000 copies.
A group of detective writers sighed, and then struggled strongly in their hearts, should they buy a copy of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" and come back to read it?
At this time, they have seen the voices about Sherlock Holmes on the Internet, and they can be regarded as knowing the reason for the sudden increase in sales of "Sherlock Holmes".
They struggled intensely, and the time was getting later and later, until it was 12 o'clock in the evening, and the day officially ended on January 27.
And real-time sales data shows that "Sherlock Holmes" sold 300,000 copies, and "Scarlet Sun" still sold 180,000 copies.
