Chapter 224: The Rise of Fiction Websites

On November 1st, "Resident Evil" was officially published.

At this time, people in the industry expressed great concern about this, because "Resident Evil" can be used as a reference, whether the physical publication of online novels can sell well, and this is closely related to their own vital interests!!

Resident Evil was already on the shelves of bookstores across the United States, and as soon as the doors opened, many people gathered at the doors of some bookstores!

"Boss, is there a book called Resident Evil? It's the latest book written by Henry Williams!"

"There are !!," the boss heard this, and he was very happy with a smile on his face. A group of boys and girls at the door, buy a copy every day, he can make a lot of money!

The bookstore owner led everyone into the bookstore, and then pointed to the location of the book "Resident Evil" and said: "$5 a copy, if you want to buy it as soon as possible, there is not much stock!" In fact, there are more than 200 copies stored in the bookstore owner's warehouse, and Henry Williams's books are generally bestsellers.

As soon as the bookstore owner's words fell, a group of people immediately rushed to buy them.

Made, the bookstore owner is really brainless, he didn't even stock up on Henry Williams' new books, hurry up and grab it, it's fast, it's slow!!

When the bookstore owner saw them looking like wolves, he immediately cried and laughed: "Don't rob, don't rob! I still have a lot of stock in my warehouse......

……

West German Publishing House.

Edward paced around the office, a little worried about Resident Evil sales. He wasn't sure that the book was already circulating on the Internet and would be a big seller in reality!

Henry sat on the sofa next to him and sipped his tea.

"Hehe, Edward, this guy actually got a pack of the best Longjing......"

Henry was not in a hurry at all, and said to Edward with a smile: "Come and drink tea, you are always walking around, don't you feel dizzy?"

"Oh," Edward replied, and sat down across from Henry, picking up another cup of tea on the table. He opened his mouth and drank it.

Henry couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.

"It's useless to be in a hurry, you see, I'm very calm!"

Edward looked at Henry. A look of helplessness.

"Oh, chairman, why don't you care about your new book sales?"

"I care, why don't I care?" said Henry, smiling, putting the teacup down. "But it's useless for me to care, all we should do has been done, now we just need to wait for the results! Edward, you have to put your mind in order, isn't it just a physical book, it's not a big deal......"

When Edward heard this, his face immediately turned black, the foundation of the West German publishing house is to publish physical books......

Edward sat for a moment, feeling uncomfortable.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. A young female secretary walked in!

The female secretary first greeted Henry and Edward, and then said excitedly: "This morning, bookstores all over the United States have queued up to buy books, and the new book "Resident Evil" is selling well!!."

When Edward heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, a happy look appeared on his face, and he said in his mouth: "Great, great......"

Henry chuckled and shook his head, picking up the teacup and savoring it slowly, though he didn't taste anything special. But the fragrance of the tea made him have an endless aftertaste, a very familiar Chinese taste, and he didn't feel that he remembered all kinds of things in his previous life!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the sales count was completed. "Resident Evil" sold 500,000 copies on the same day, and when the West German publishing house announced the news, many people were shocked.

The reporters interviewed the people who bought the book today, and found that 40% of these people are Henry Williams readers and fans, and 25% like to watch "Resident Evil". 35% of people are curious about this book, and millions of people on the Internet read "Resident Evil", which means that this book is well written, and this book is written by Henry Williams, the richest man in the world and a genius writer, and the curiosity can't help but be even heavier...... So, I bought a copy too!

The success of the publication of "Resident Evil" has undoubtedly injected strong self-confidence into the majority of ireader writers!

In the following week, the sales of the "Resident Evil" novel soared, selling a total of 3 million copies, and it topped the best-selling list of American novels this week!!

Now, the other publishing houses were silent all of a sudden!

Subsequently, the major publishing companies immediately held a meeting to discuss future developments.

"Let's also set up a station!! "At the beginning of the meeting, someone suggested that "the publicity on the Internet is much better than the reality, because it is cheaper to read books on the Internet, and if you watch pirated copies, it is still free!" Therefore, a book is easier to be read by other people, so that the popularity of the book is high, and we can also get more benefits by taking the full copyright of the novel like the ireader station!!

"That's right! I've heard that when they sign a contract for a work, they usually sign a full copyright contract, and the ireader station can obtain the right to operate all copyrights such as film and television adaptation rights, or game adaptation rights, and the profits will be shared with the writer!!

"Well, it seems feasible, although the physical book publication will be affected, but from the analysis of the book "Resident Evil", the impact does not seem to be too great!"

"Well, it seems that it is very feasible to build a station!"

"Since everyone thinks it's okay, let's build a !! as well."

"Good !!"

“……”

Not long after, many publishing houses in the United States decided to set up websites. After a few weeks of planning, the imitator ireader station has also launched its own website! These publishing houses are ambitious, and they feel that the future is bright, imagining that after the novels under the website become famous, they have received film and television adaptations, game adaptations, etc., which can be said to be a dream of making money every day!!

What can Henry say?

Not all stations can be as successful as the ireader station, which stands in the background of the Internet is ICQ, it is Henry!!

Even if the largest publishing house in the United States has established a website, it can't do the ireader station! The traffic of icq can make the ireader station far ahead of other websites, not to mention, because of the first-mover advantage, the ireader station has become bigger and stronger, and in the minds of netizens, it is the largest and best station.

In addition, the ireader station is closer to the development of the people, and everyone can be a writer. Readers have read all the novels written by traditional writers, naturally, their tastes will also change, but reading those novels written by ordinary people, they feel funny, refreshing, and more interesting!

Many publishers do not realize this, and shout slogans while holding hundreds of works from the company's list, and the slogan of the American publishing giant McGraw Hill Company is as follows:

"To build the best station, our novels are all works of well-known authors, and there are no bad !!!"

The last sentence "no bad work" obviously means something!
