At half past seven in the morning, Xu Qing, who was sleeping, was woken up by a quick knock on the door, and Xu Qing said in a daze: "Come in." ”

Carlyle pushed open the door and whispered, "Xu, there are a lot of reporters outside the villa who want to interview you about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"The reporter came to interview me so early!?" Xu Qing was a little surprised, put on slippers and came to the first floor and walked towards the gate of the villa.

Carlyle hurriedly ran to Xu Qing's side and said, "Xu, there are a lot of reporters outside, you'd better not go out now, I can't stop those reporters alone." ”

Xu Qing gave up the idea of opening the door of the villa, and through the small hole in the door of the villa, he saw that there were many reporters outside, and counted them, there were at least 11 reporters.

After watching for a while, Xu Qing returned to the living room, it was now 8 o'clock, grandpa and parents had already gotten up, and Xu Qing called to tell them about the first day of sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

After talking to his relatives on the phone, Xu Qing ate breakfast and told Carlyle to buy all the newspapers that covered "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Xu Qing wanted to know how much impact "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" had in the United States, and it attracted so many reporters.

Carlyle drove out of the villa through another passage in the underground garage, which was an emergency passage, at the back of the villa.

Dozens of minutes later, Carlyle returned to the villa with a large pile of newspapers.

"Carlyle, why are there so many newspapers?" Xu Qing looked at the dozens of newspapers on the table, his eyes widened, there were too many newspapers!

"I saw that the newspapers on the newsstand all reported on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and I asked the owner to pack a copy of all the newspapers. Carlyle explained.

"There are so many newspapers!" Xu Qing cut the rope tied to the newspaper with a knife, and picked up the newspaper on top, which was the New York Times.

Xu Qing saw the report of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on the front page of the New York Times, which was unexpected by Xu Qing.

The front page of any newspaper is a top priority, and the content published has to be screened multiple times before the content that has a significant impact can appear on the front page.

Not to mention the top newspapers like the New York Times, where the front page is overwhelmingly devoted to international and American events.

The front page of this issue of the New York Times actually gave a place to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", although the content is very small, only a few hundred words, and a more detailed content is written Please see the A3 version of the prompt.

The news that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold more than 400,000 copies on the first day should not be on the front page of the New York Times, which is too strange.

Xu Qing looked at the report of the "New York Times" and praised it:

"On June 1st, there was an interesting event at the 100 Barnes & Noble bookstores in the United States at the same time, and the doors of these Barnes & Noble bookstores were filled with book buyers.

Our reporter interviewed book buyers and got the same answer: they all came to buy a novel called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

……

We learned from Mr. Smith, the business manager at Barnes & Noble, that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold 430,000 copies on its first day!

The first-day sales of 430,000 copies are a very impressive number, and the first-day sales of a book without any famous author are higher than the first-day sales of America's top best-selling authors.

Mr. Smith also told us a very shocking piece of information, the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is called Xu Qing, a Chinese teenager who has just turned 18 years old.

……

Now we can call "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" a phenomenal book, and Xu Qing is a genius writer.

Then we learned that Xu Qing came from the Xu family, a wealthy Chinese family in the United States, and was the only heir of the Xu family.

……

The Carney Group currently has assets of more than $400 million, and its founder, Xu Kunping, came to the United States with his wife and son more than 30 years ago.

Starting as a chef in a small restaurant, it has developed into a comprehensive group with food, restaurants, media, and farms.

……

The Xu family is the embodiment of the American immigration policy, and Xu Qing is the representative of the American dream.

President Clinton ......"

Xu Qing read the front page and A3 page of the New York Times word for word, and finally found out why they published the report "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on the front page.

They used the Xu family and Xu Qing as examples to endorse Clinton's immigration policy.

Xu Qingbai was happy, and thought that the influence of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" could make the front page of the "New York Times".

On second thought, although it is an endorsement of Clinton's immigration policy, it also shows that the influence of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is very high, otherwise the "New York Times" would not be on the front page.

Thinking of the influence of The New York Times on the book industry, the depression in Xu Qing's heart quickly dissipated.

Xu Qing picked up the second newspaper, which is also a top newspaper, and the Los Angeles Times ranks among the top five in the United States in terms of sales.

The Los Angeles Times published a report on "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on the A2 page.

The A2 edition is also a very important page, and the A2 edition of the Los Angeles Times can be said to truly reflect the influence of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The content of the report is also full of praise:

"Some time ago, the Los Angeles Times serialized a novel called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and when it was first serialized, many readers called to complain and said that they would unsubscribe from the serialization of this novel.

The reaction of the readers caused controversy within our newspaper, with some editors believing that the novel should be stopped immediately, others believing that it should be continued, and finally the editor-in-chief, Mr. Bledsoe, decided to continue serializing the novel.

After nearly a month of serialization, the newspaper received a lot of feedback from readers, but fortunately, most of the feedback was praising Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the newspaper.

Our telephone operator, Miss Telephone, said to our editorial office, thank you for serializing this novel, so that I have heard a lot of compliments this month, although these words are not compliments on me, but after all, they are pleasant-sounding good words.

Yesterday, June 1, the novel went on sale at 100 Barnes & Noble bookstores in the United States, and our colleagues stationed across the country saw shocking images.

The doors of the 100 Barnes & Noble bookstores are lined up with countless book buyers, men and women, young and old, people of all ages, most of them teenagers.

(I would like to ask you, Dear Teacher, if there were many students who did not go to class yesterday.)

If you have a situation where students don't show up in your class, don't blame them because they're buying a novel called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

We recommend that you take a look at this novel to see why it has so much charm. ）

Then we learned from Barnes & Noble that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone had sold 430,000 copies on its first day!

We don't need to say anything more about this sales figure, and the readers who are reading this report are well aware of its significance.

We will continue to follow up on the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and have already sent someone to interview the author, Mr. Xu Qing, so stay tuned. ”

Xu Qing continued to read other newspapers, many of which were headlines:

"A once-in-a-decade bestseller!"

"With 430,000 copies sold on the first day, a phenomenal bestseller was born!"

"Genius writer Xu Qing is popular all over the United States in one day!"

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the book that can make people crazy!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people lined up just to buy a book!"

……

PS: This book is being recommended, I hope readers and friends can collect it, vote for it, this is very important for a new book!

In addition, Xu Qing's first pot of gold has been completed, and he is about to enter a more exciting game and Internet industry, and some well-known companies will also appear, and the story is very exciting!
