E-commerce is so developed, express delivery is so convenient, that is, it can only be seen in China, although people in other countries also have shopping websites, but it is by no means so convenient and fast.

Chinese fans are holding back their energy, everyone is promoting each other in the forums and QQ groups, and everyone tries to buy a pre-sale copy.

And the readers who are more generous in their hands are even more pre-ordered for ten books, which is as powerful as fans buying singers' records.

If you make a fan purchase chart like the QQ Music Digital Album Sales Chart, it is estimated that the big guy in the first place will appear with an astonishing number of more than 100 copies.

There is no place to stack so many books bought, and I don't know whether to give them to relatives and friends, or draw in Weibo or other places, I definitely can't see them.

At present, the book sales market is constantly recovering, among which the growth of online bookstores has contributed very much, while the sales growth of physical bookstores has fallen into a state of weakness.

Since 2010, online book sales have maintained a rapid growth rate of more than 20% per year. With cheap prices, rich variety, convenient delivery and various promotions, it is estimated that the proportion of online book purchases will continue to increase in the future!

Bestsellers are definitely selling better and better, because readers' consumption behavior will be affected by the book sales charts, and as long as they can appear on the lists, books that are not particularly bad quality can stand firmly.

People who like to buy books online will not miss Dangdang.com, which is obviously a comprehensive shopping website, but most people just buy books or stationery on it.

Dangdang.com directly used a large banner on the homepage of the website and mobile client to announce the official start of the pre-sale of "The Silence of the Lambs"!

This big banner ad is not just a place to go, it is usually a place for various promotions, such as "300,000 books for the new semester are all you can choose, full of 100-40" and so on.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is a very important new book, except for the complete collection of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" finalized by Zhang Chu himself in the second half of the year, no book can surpass it.

I don't recommend this book, which one do I recommend?

The big banner on the homepage, the first place in the pre-sale area of the new book on the homepage, and the editor's recommended work! The sales of "The Silence of the Lambs" are fully worthy of such a big recommendation.

Only half an hour after the pre-sale items were put on the shelves, they topped the new book best-selling list, leaving the rest of the works far behind!

It's the same in the rest of the place, Amazon, Tmall Books and Suning Tesco are all on top without suspense, and in some online bookstores, the cover of this one also firmly occupies the C position.

As the world continues to spin and the Western Hemisphere begins to usher in the wee hours of the morning, Random House is also launching it in various online bookstores, so that people around the world who read in English can be the first to buy the book!

……

"I heard that your book is on pre-sale all over the world today, is it really the whole world? Will it be like those singers, adding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to call it a world tour?"

Anmi wanted to know the inside story of these things, so he asked Zhang Chu on the way to the cafeteria for lunch.

Zhang Chu shook his head and explained: "Of course not, it is estimated that it is not all countries, because now there are two versions of "The Silence of the Lambs", which should be issued in countries that speak Chinese and English, and there will be no other German, French, Italian and Japanese countries." ”

It's one thing to understand a book, it's another thing to tell a story in your own language, and not every translator can be as efficient as Zhang Chu.

Anyway, Random House is only the No. 1 in the English-language publishing industry, and Hallym Culture Media cooperates with other publishing companies in other language countries.

Yang Ling was a little puzzled: "Then if it is a Briton studying in Germany, can he participate in the pre-sale?"

This question completely stumped Zhang Chuche, and he thought about it seriously before answering: "It depends on whether their local shopping website is open or not, I don't think so." After all, Germany is still dominated by German, and English is only a little or less. ”

The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore and even India have already opened pre-sales, and some countries in Africa and South America are also listed, which can definitely be called globalization.

Whether it's the Eastern or Western Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere or the Northern Hemisphere, fans on several continents can pre-order his work.

"Although I have read the book, I decided to order it later, hoping to have it delivered to our school early in the morning of October 8th. ”

"It's hard to get started early in the morning, right? Not every website can be so fast. Zhang Chu helped analyze: "You can choose Jingdong, it took 200,000 books from Nanhai Publishing Company in one go, and there must be a warehouse in Yanjing, which can basically be delivered every other day." ”

Zhang Chu did not tell these friends that the 200,000 books were not included in the pre-sale sales. Books that participate in pre-sale will be delivered to their bookstores during the National Day holiday, so as not to crowd out the already small inventory.

The group talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the cafeteria.

The cafeteria at noon was full of people, and even if it was to get food, you had to queue up.

The school is so big, it only takes an hour, and there is no time to go to a restaurant outside the school to eat.

"Seriously, the sales of "The Silence of the Lambs" seem to be a bit low, I just found a product delivered by themselves in Jingdong Book City, and more than ten hours have passed, and more than 70,000 copies have been sold. "Anmi still thinks that he is wrong, why is there only more than 70,000?

"Are you stupid...... Fortunately, when I came to study Chinese, I was too insensitive to numbers. Selling more than 70,000 in more than ten hours is already very good, and no one can reach it except him. That's not as good as the millions of hits on the Internet. ”

Zhang Chu said with a smile: "The pre-sale time is almost more than a week, and it is only the end of September now, and the statistics will not end until October 6, and the global simultaneous listing on October 8 will take so long in the middle." The most important thing is that you only see this one channel, and there are many channels that are doing pre-sales, maybe it will break the pre-sale record!"

The current pre-sale record was also created by Zhang Chu himself, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" became popular because it was serialized on the Internet first, and then got the pre-sale figure of more than 1.3 million copies when the physical book was released, which directly increased the record from hundreds of thousands of copies to more than one million.

Now "The Silence of the Lambs" may not be as attractive to domestic readers as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but the number of fans has improved greatly from that time.

During the serialization of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Zhang Chu's popularity has developed by leaps and bounds, and several consecutive works have become popular, helping him become the top best-selling author in the Chinese world.

With a larger readership, the sales of new books will certainly increase a lot!

It is impossible to break one million on the first day of pre-sale, but Zhang Chu is curious about what this number will be.
