At 10 a.m. on January 1, Glory Company, Xu Qing and Danning, and Yang Jin were in the general manager's office.

Today is the New Year, and according to the laws of the United States, today should be a day off, but the employees of Honor have taken the initiative to ask for overtime.

There are also good reasons to work overtime, and the pay for overtime on holidays is more.

In fact, the purpose of their real overtime work is because the sales momentum of electronic pets is too hot, as the first game they made by themselves, it has become a world trend in just a few days.

Many people are still in a bit of a trance and can't believe it.

Although the idea of the electronic pet came from Xu Qing, although they are just a part-time worker, they are still very happy to see the popularity of the electronic pet.

This happiness also includes the reaction of those around you.

Many people know that they are the team that makes the animatronic pets and will be amazed by them.

Some of the employees of Honor Company have also improved their family and friend relationships as a result.

It's not surprising that when you work for a big company, or make something famous, the way people around you look at you changes, and the relationship changes.

What's even happier for them is that with the popularity of electronic pets, their bonuses will not be less, and their salaries are likely to increase.

And they are now in the sight of many game companies, and even if they leave Honor, it is easier to find a good job.

It is not only the employees of Glory Company who are happy, but also Xu Qing, Danning, and Yang Jin who are sitting in the general manager's office.

The three of them were smiling and drinking coffee and chatting.

Denning put down the coffee cup and sighed, "I still don't believe that animatronic pets can be so popular, it's amazing!

It's only been a few days since you said at the press conference that electronic pets would become a world trend, and what you said became a reality. ”

"I don't know magic, cyber pets are so good. Xu Qing said with a smile.

A few people chatted for a while, and Yang Jin took out a document and gave it to Xu Qing: "Boss, this is the sales data of the first week of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". ”

Xu Qing took it over and looked at it, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" sold more than 22 million copies in the first week, which is a very terrifying sales figure.

Although it can't compare with the first-week sales figures of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the Harry Potter series.

And there is no promotion of movies, only the fame accumulated by the previous book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" can sell more than 22 million copies in the first week, which is very terrifying and incredible.

"Yang Jin, have you investigated why the first week of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets sold so high? Originally, we expected that the first week sales should be around 16 million copies.

Now more than 6 million copies of our projections, our estimates are based on rigorous testing and a large amount of data from industry authorities.

In the past, the conclusions reached by these industry authorities were not much different from the final results, why is it so big this time?" Xu Qing asked Yang Jin.

Yang Jin was obviously prepared and immediately replied:

"We at Sunlight Publishing House also held a meeting to discuss it, and we think that there are several reasons, one is that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is of higher quality, and under the spread of word of mouth, it not only retains the original book fans, but also attracts new book fans.

The second is that this publicity is very sufficient, and hundreds of media around the world have reported the book launch of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which has made many people who are not fans of the book also pay attention to the information of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

The third is the impact of electronic pets, according to our survey, many people will buy "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" when they buy electronic pets in various bookstore channels.

All three of these reasons are highly probable, and combined, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets sold more than 22 million copies in its first week. ”

Xu Qing pondered for a while and said: "These three reasons are indeed very likely, I originally thought that the sales of electronic pets should be driven by "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

I didn't expect that the electronic pet would drive the sales of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and it seems that the sales strategy of the electronic pet will be adjusted.

You discussed with various bookstore channels, can you extend the sales time of electronic pets in bookstores?"

"Those bookstores would agree that, after all, digital pets drive sales of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and they'd love to see that. Yang Jin said.

Xu Qing then watched the sales of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in various countries, and it was no surprise that the United States had the most sales, followed by Europe, and then Japan.

After reading the sales data of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", Xu Qing took a sip of coffee, and Denning handed Xu Qing a document in due course.

"Boss, this is the first week of sales data for electronic pets. ”

Xu Qing now only knows the sales data of the first few days of the electronic pet, and does not know the sales data of the first week, but it should be a very terrifying sales data.

Xu Qing flipped through the file and first saw a very conspicuous number, 6732957, the sales data of electronic pets in the first week was 6732957.

The sales data of electronic pets in the first week also surprised Xu Qing, which was too terrifying.

Electronic pets are on the shelves of more than 400 supermarkets and more than 700 bookstores around the world, with a total of more than 1,100 points of sale, with an average of more than 800 sales per point of sale per day.

What needs to be known is that the sales volume of electronic pets in the previous life in the first year was tens of millions, and Xu Qing didn't remember how much, but it would not exceed 50 million.

Of course, this is the sales of the original, and the pirated ones sell more than the originals.

But according to the current sales momentum of electronic pets, it will not take half a year to exceed the sales of the previous life.

"With first-week sales of more than 6.7 million, Honor has done a great job. Xu Qing put down the document and praised.

"It's mainly your boss, the first week of sales of electronic pets is so good, and the most important thing is the creativity of electronic pets. Dan Ning didn't dare to take credit, and hurriedly said sincerely.

"Without your serious work, the e-pet wouldn't be selling as much as it is now. Xu Qing said: "After a while, I will hold the company's annual meeting, including the Sunlight Group.

There will be a lot of great prizes and food at the annual meeting, and I will ask Eben to send you the information of the annual meeting later, and you can talk to the staff. ”

"Okay. ”

Danning and Yang Jin are very excited, the performance of Xu Qing's companies in 1993 is very good, and the annual meeting will definitely be grand.
