The nine-hour flight was exhausting, and even though Zhang Chu slept in first class for most of the time, he was still very sleepy.

What's even more terrifying is that after returning to China, it encountered the rush of returning to the city, and the entire airport was almost full of people, and all kinds of transportation were jammed.

Zhang Chu's own car was parked at the airport for almost a week, the windows were covered with dust, and after paying the expensive parking fee, he slowly drove onto the road.

Now the time in Yanjing is past nine o'clock in the morning, but the entire highway has become a large parking lot, and it is obvious that they have already gone to the second highway of the airport to detour, but they still have not escaped the traffic jam.

The driving is extremely slow, it may have advanced dozens of meters in more than ten minutes, and there are still vehicles merging in front of him, Zhang Chu now wants to take a helicopter home!

The traffic flow in the direction of Beijing is very large, and many vehicles have rolled down their windows and stretched out their heads to look ahead.

"Alas, I knew that I would have taken the subway back, even if I had to change a few times, it was better than being stuck in a traffic jam. ”

Zhang Chu put his hand on the steering wheel and complained weakly.

When the driver is stuck in traffic, it is easy to get angry, so he simply turns on the traffic radio and listens to what has happened in the country recently.

However, at this time, the highway incarnated as a parking lot began to move at a rapid pace, and Zhang Chu started the car to follow after saying in his heart.

It turned out that there was an accident between a small car and a medium-sized truck in front of it, and it was estimated that it wanted to change lanes to overtake, but it collided, directly occupying a half lane.

Now the traffic police are directing on the spot, allowing the vehicles behind to pass in an orderly manner.

It usually takes an hour to get home, but now Zhang Chu hurried to finally return to the Bishui Yuntian Community before twelve o'clock, and he now has one idea in his mind, that is, to lie on the sofa and rest.

But when he opened the door, he was stunned!

Why does matcha appear on the carpet at the door, and why does the room smell of food?

"You're finally back, we're worried that you've eaten out, so put your things down and wash your hands and eat. Chu Lan, who was wearing an apron, began to give orders.

Zhang Chu's head was a little confused, he brought the box in, and then picked up the matcha and rubbed it wildly, I haven't seen this guy for a month, it looks like he has lost some weight, I hope it's just an illusion.

"Why did you come to Yanjing?"

Zhang Bowen took the book from the study and walked out, "Your mother saw that you earned 100 million, and she was afraid that you would learn badly, so she came over to knock and knock, and sent the cat to you by the way." Now your mom is taking a sixth-grader, and I have to prepare for the site selection and decoration of the new store, so I don't have time to raise a cat. ”

"You're going to open a new store so soon, and you're expanding fast!"

Hanlinxuan Bookstore now has three stores in Jiangcheng, and now it is really beyond imagination to open a new one.

"Not to mention that there are more and more people buying books now, and our Hanlinxuan is still quite famous in Jiangcheng, and has become an Internet celebrity bookstore, so I just have some money in hand. Zhang Bowen was very proud as soon as he talked about his small business, "But now there are signs of saturation, this is the last branch in Jiangcheng, and it will have to expand to other cities in the future." ”

Chu Lan glared at the father and son, "Eat first, talk while eating, and then it will be cold in a while!"

Zhang Bowen patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder and said, "You are the signboard of our bookstore, as long as you continue to write books, I have the confidence to open the bookstore in the United States." ”

"Old man, it's okay to be appropriate, beware of the cowhide blowing through the sky!" Zhang Chu only saw the news two days ago that the second largest bookstore chain in the United States was on the verge of bankruptcy, and now there is too much chance of losing money if he goes to the United States to open a bookstore.

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the matcha in his arms, and then used it to send Weibo, but the content of the picture and text was seriously inconsistent.

["The Da Vinci Code" has been pre-sold in various online bookstores, there are three different editions for everyone to choose from, and the illustrated version has just found pictures, and it is estimated that it will be available in November. The advertising fee is to show everyone the cat film, the real cat film ( ̄) ̄)]

It's been a long time since I've seen matcha, it's rare to share its beauty with netizens, and the promotion of pre-sale is a political task given to him by Gu Xinxue, which must be completed!

……

After eating, Zhang Chu went to take a bath, and then fell on the bed to take a nap.

In fact, he doesn't need jet lag very much, it's just that he is too tired to fly and drive!

The familiar way of waking him up once again woke him from his sleep, and the matcha ran to the side of Zhang Chu's pillow and shrunk into a ball, the hair that made him sneeze several times.

There were still some tsunderes before, but now it's not obediently sent to the door?

After Zhang Chu yawned, he used the curtain remote control to open the curtain, allowing the autumn breeze to blow into the room, blowing his slightly cloudy head sober.

It's just that I don't want to get up at all now, and I just want to lie in bed and enjoy the last tail of the vacation.

So I just leaned on the pillow and played with my mobile phone, and I played a game of exciting battlefield but felt that it was not interesting, so I opened Weibo.

As expected, the client's message prompt number is no longer visible, and it is all red dots anyway.

In the face of matcha, which has been missing for more than a month, these fans have an old mother mentality after seeing it again, how did our baby lose weight?

"I have placed an order to buy a Chinese-English version, it is said that in addition to the fact that the protagonist of this book is Chinese, the story mainly takes place in Europe, and I believe that Zhang Chuda translated it. ”

"The pre-sale looks pretty good, buy the paperback version first, and then buy it back for the collection when the illustrated version is on the market. In addition, please don't spoiler it, don't spoil it!"

"After October 10th, if anyone publishes the Da Vinci password on the Internet, don't blame me for being ruthless, and report it all then!"

"Looks like I'm going to have to be off for a while to prevent spoilers. ”

"If you really like "The Da Vinci Code", remember to recommend it to friends around you~~ Now the pre-sale volume has come to 420,000, which has exceeded the pre-sale of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City", and we are constantly refreshing Zhang Chuda's pre-sale record!"

"If you haven't made a reservation yet, you can participate in the reservation now, and you can also give away posters when you order books at the official store of Hanlin Culture Media. ”

Zhang Chu doesn't know whether these fans behind him are tap water or the company's water army, but those who can call on others to buy books to support must be good fans!

The current booking speed surprised him a little, and the 400,000 pre-sales of the ghost blowing the lamp were exceeded so easily?

With two days to go until the official launch, can we sprint to the number of millions or more?

If the data is true, then The Da Vinci Code will be a big record!

Regarding the hot book "The Da Vinci Code", not only fans are paying attention to its sales, but even people in the industry are also concerned.

What kind of trend can be set off in China by works that have received 100 million prepaid manuscript fees, and works that have just topped the Twitter discussion trend list not long ago?

"Open Book Books" is a professional website for tracking book sales in China, and they will release some information about the book industry based on real-time data.

Now this account can't wait to announce the data: "As of 3:30 p.m. on October 7th, the pre-sales of the three versions of the Da Vinci Code book exceeded 400,000 on the whole network, officially surpassing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City", becoming Zhang Chu's personal and domestic writer's most pre-sold work! According to experts' predictions, this work is expected to become the first Chinese work to exceed one million pre-sales, creating new market incentives!"

In fact, it is normal to have this data, before the physical book of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" was released, Zhang Chu's popularity was not comparable to now.

At that time, although he wrote several books, he was still a lot away from the front line!

The pre-sale of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was completely driven by serialization, and it was stuck halfway through the serialization, and those readers who wanted to read it had to buy the book.

It is precisely because of a series of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and a series of other people that have brought up his popularity, and now there is the glory of "The Da Vinci Code"!

The previous work planted trees, and the new work can enjoy the shade!

The Chinese population is very large, but there are not many people who often buy books, so they will be so inferior to the United States in book sales.

The large number of pre-sales is enough to see the readers' love for this book, and the reason why readers are willing to spend money now is mainly based on Zhang Chu's fame and quality assurance.

Of course, more passers-by need to spend money on books after word of mouth comes out, and only after the name of "The Da Vinci Code" spreads can it attract more people!

"Matcha, now I can make money for you to buy a big villa, and in a few days I will go and see where the house is more suitable." ”

After the publishing rights in more than 20 countries were sold, Zhang Chu received different prepaid fees from these publishing companies according to the number of prints.

Although no publishing company gave a large figure of 12 million pounds, they still surpassed Random House together, which is equivalent to almost 18 million dollars!

Zhang Chuguang earned so much prepaid manuscript fees for "The Da Vinci Code", and the publishing rights of the rest of the books were also sold one after another, so the author with the largest turnover at the Frankfurt Book Fair should be himself.

Thanks to China's good regulations of no double taxation, Hanlin Culture Media can take the tax voucher back to China to offset part of the tax after paying the tax in a foreign country, and does not have to pay the tax twice like writers in other countries!

When the monthly income of the individual is about 80,000 yuan, the personal income tax rate is 45%, which means that almost half of it has to be paid.

But the manuscript fee tax on the writer's side is different, no matter what the income is, the tax rate is about 12%, which may be a little cost-effective when the income is small, but it is much more comfortable than personal income tax after the income is more!

When a writer sets up a company, the amount of tax paid will even drop further, which falls under the category of legal tax avoidance.

Zhang Chu can now buy a villa for himself in the name of Hanlin Culture Media, so that matcha does not have to go to the park to play by herself, and it was too dangerous to jump back and forth on the air conditioner before.
