In the middle of the night, the whole campus seems to be unusually quiet, the teaching buildings and dormitories have been silent, only the orange street lamps stick to their posts, and occasionally a school police officer with flashing red and blue lights patrols by motorcycle.

But the four young men in the 508 dormitory of the Meditation Garden were still not sleepy, and they were struggling with their mobile phones and computers one by one.

Although the school will cut off the power supply to the dormitory at 11 p.m., the electricity in the toilet is separated, and it is impossible for their group of science students not to simply change the wiring.

It's too obvious to turn on the lights, but by closing the curtains, you can light up the small table lamp.

Xiong Hongwen was still playing games with headphones, while the other three were half-lying on the bed playing with their mobile phones.

It's close to October, the weather in Yangcheng is still very hot, of course, the air conditioner is constantly cooling, and people have a short sleep time in summer.

"The biggest disadvantage in the dormitory is that there are too many people, and the mobile phone signal is always poor, but it is even slower to use the wifi provided by the school, what if you can't grab Zhang Chuxin's book?"

Fan Yumao said worriedly, seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, he wished that all the people in this dormitory building and even the campus were asleep.

But it's definitely unrealistic.,None of them slept in the bedroom.,It's estimated that the rest of the bedrooms are similar.,Everyone is just turned off the lights.,At least the phone has to play until it needs to be charged.。

"Don't worry, I said that the pre-sale this time is unlimited, so you can buy it as you like. You can get up tomorrow and place another order!"

The other roommate is obviously wearing headphones, but he can still chat with everyone, and he can do two things.

Fan Yumao doesn't like to watch movies and television, and he is not very interested in comics and animation, he only plays games occasionally, and his favorite thing is to read books.

When I was in elementary school, I liked to read 100,000 whys, the world's top ten unsolved mysteries, etc., what stories will, readers, Yilin buy every issue, martial arts, romance, and classic masterpieces.

After going to college, I fell in love with the Internet, although there are a lot of networks, but I can't stand him reading day and night, and I go to finish reading the serialized books every day, even if I meet Zhang Chu, I still have a shortage of books!

No matter how fast a writer writes, he can't compare to the speed at which a reader reads a book.

While chasing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", I was looking forward to the new book "The Silence of the Lambs", which haunted Fan Yumao's dreams, although it was only a pre-sale.

"Even if it's unlimited, we still have to give Mr. Zhang the first day, this data can't be too ugly, save the time when someone takes the data to the connotation, what to say that it's too angry and hits the street!"

Su Xin smiled: "I don't understand more and more, why do you buy a book, why do you look a bit like a star chaser?

Fan Yumao Zhenzhen explained: "I like this book anyway, and I can rest assured if I place an order early." There are idle little on the Internet who are always black. "The Silence of the Lambs" is going to be pre-sold worldwide, and as our hometown and with so many people, it's really embarrassing to lose to others. ”

This is no longer about buying books for himself or pre-selling for Zhang Chuchong, but more like an honor.

Although "The Silence of the Lambs" is set in the United States, Chinese fans are holding their breath and are not willing to sell less than American readers.

In the past, this kind of competition was between two different works, such as voting for monthly votes and recommendation votes to help it occupy a good position on the top of the rankings.

But this time it's a competition within the fans, it's about national honor, and you won't lose if you lose!

"Rest assured, maybe that book will sell more in China than the population of many small countries combined. ”

This is obviously something that will happen, such as Costa Rica, Croatia, Panama, Uruguay, Iceland, and other countries that have shined at the World Cup, with a population of less than 5 million, not to mention Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican, and other small countries with only a few tens of thousands of people.

Fan Yumao's confidence is a little bursting: "This time the main release is the Chinese version and the English version, such as France and Germany, which are directly ignored, and the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada are also rare." Only in the United States, they occupy the right time and place, and the only advantage is that their online shopping habits are not as strong as ours!"

Thrillers and suspense are a big hobby of Americans, not to mention the FBI and serial killer elements in it.

He has already made plans to buy a physical book at the pre-sale first, and then buy an e-book to support it when it is officially released, and if he has money to spare, he may buy a hardcover collection.

Although he spends some money, he is willing to spend it on his favorite works!

At 0:00, Fan Yumao had already added the book to the shopping cart at Jingdong Book City, because Jingdong's logistics is the fastest, and there is also a campus store in the school.

Place an order and pay in one go, just wait for the delivery.

"What, it's not stuck at all, it should paralyze the payment system of these shopping software!"

Su Xin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Do you know how many people have to pay together to paralyze the server during Double 11? ”

Originally, Nanhai Publishing Company planned to pre-sell only in its flagship store on Tmall, so that millions of physical books could be shipped directly from the warehouse to all parts of the country, and enjoy the joy of eating alone!

In the real sense, there is no middleman to make the difference, and the profit will be very, very rich.

But the rest of the bookstores didn't want this kind of thing to happen, and they all set up pre-sale signs, each of them to attract people, and not let Nanhai Publishing Company take away the sales business.

It was already subject to its constraints, and if there were even sales channels, what else would these bookstores do?

The pre-sales that bloomed everywhere did distract Zhang Chu's readers, so that they didn't know which one to concentrate on to buy, and they could only find their own familiar ways as they wanted.

Fan Yumao looked at the data on the side of Jingdong Book City, "In three minutes, more than 20,000 copies were sold on Jingdong, this should be the top level, right? I'll go and see how many Dangdang and Tmall, Amazon, the rest of the small places can't be counted, and then look at the official data." ”

If "The Silence of the Lambs" had been released today instead of being pre-sold today, that number would have multiplied several times.

Except for Zhang Chu, it is estimated that the entire book market will not be able to find a pre-sale that can contribute nearly 100,000 in just a few minutes!

"Hahaha, even if we only sell one copy now, then we are better than the Yankees, hahahaha"

Su Xin reminded: "Be quiet, you are bullying the United States and staying yesterday." ”

"So what, you have the ability to blame the earth!"
