Xu Qing looked at the newspaper happily, and most of the newspaper reports were praising "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and Xu Qing.

There are also newspapers that say something derogatory, such as the Miami Herald, which sold more than 500,000 copies, and said something like this:

On June 1, a novel called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" quickly became popular in the United States, and it is understood that the novel sold 430,000 copies on the first day, which is undoubtedly a super bestseller.

Any book that can sell well has reasons why it attracts readers to buy, novelty, fun, practicality, surprise, etc., these are the factors that attract readers to buy books.

These factors are positive, and we hope that more books containing these factors will be published to bring readers a pleasant and healthy reading experience.

But Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which sold 430,000 copies on the first day, we didn't see any positive factors to attract purchases, but relied on a so-called magic to lure readers into buying.

The book promotes rebellion and disrespect for those in power, and promotes witchcraft and superstition.

We understand that many of the readers who buy this book are teenagers who are in the process of shaping their values.

If they are addicted to the book and believe its contents, it will distort their minds and cause unpredictable consequences.

Teenagers are the hope of America's future, and we must not allow such a harmful book to harm their minds.

We hereby call on the government to ban the sale of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the United States, and call on readers to see the book as it is, not to buy it, and for parents to take care of their children and prevent them from reading this book. ”

After reading this report from the Miami Herald, Xu Qing was very skeptical that he had their ** family.

The whole article is belittling "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and also calling for this, calling for that ban.

It's normal for someone not to like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, because Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is not money and it is impossible for everyone to like it.

But it is still very rare for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to be disparaged like "Miami Herald", as if Xu Qing has a grudge against them.

Xu Qing suddenly remembered a report he saw in his previous life, saying that some parents in the United States complained about the Harry Potter series of books, and the content of the complaint was similar to this report.

As a result, Harry Potter has been repeatedly banned by schools, libraries, and courts, and has become the top of the list of banned books in the United States.

However, Xu Qing is not worried about Harry Potter being banned, because it is impossible for the United States to completely ban the sale of Harry Potter, and Harry Potter will have many supporters.

And it's better to ban books, this is to advertise Harry Potter for free, and every time Harry Potter in the previous life is on the list of banned books, the sales will be better.

Xu Qing read all the newspapers and had a rough judgment on the influence of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

has a great influence, Xu Qing no longer needs to promote "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the future, and the sales can also reach a very high level, and it is expected to sell more than 6 million copies in the first month.

However, in order to complete the plan to earn $300 million in one year, 6 million copies sold are far from enough.

Xu Qing's one-year, $300 million plan is divided into two parts, the first part of the plan is to sell 30 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" within half a year.

With the current momentum of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this sales target is very likely to be achieved.

After the first part of the plan is completed, the second part of the plan begins.

The second part of the plan is to invest at least $60 million in the early stage, which is why Xu Qing wants to make "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sell 30 million copies within half a year.

Only in this way will Xu Qing have enough funds for the second part of the plan, and then successfully complete the one-year plan of 300 million US dollars.

The phone on the table rang, and Xu Qing answered it.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Carter, editor-in-chief of The New York Times, and we want to interview you.

Our reporter is already outside your villa, you can see if you can let our reporter enter the villa, or you can make an appointment for a place, you can have a time. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, but it's not convenient for me to interview right now, but after a while. ”

……

Xu Qing said a few words to Carter, hung up the phone decisively, and before he could put the phone on the table, another call came.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Bledsoe, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, I'm sorry to bother you, our reporter is outside your villa, and we want to interview you about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

……”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bledsoe, but I'm not in a position to interview right now, but after a while. ”

……

Next, Xu Qing's calls did not stop, and the calls came one after another, all of which were calls from the editors-in-chief of major newspapers in person, and Xu Qing could only refuse them one by one.

Now that so many newspapers want to interview him, it is impossible for Xu Qing to accept interviews from all newspapers, and he does not have the energy.

Xu Qing needs to hire a media expert to develop a set of strategies for dealing with the media, and he is particular about what to say, what not to say, and how to say it.

Especially Xu Qing is a Chinese, and there are many invisible rules in the United States that cannot be touched, and with Xu Qing's current strength, he cannot break these rules.

Well, Johansen, the editor-in-chief of Carney Newspaper, used to be a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, so he should know very well how to deal with reporters, Xu Qing immediately called Johansen.

"Johansen, there are a lot of journalists outside my villa who want to interview me about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, you are a media expert, I want to ask you how to deal with these journalists?"

"General Manager, I suggest that you do not give interviews to reporters now, with the momentum of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it is likely that the sales will exceed 6 million copies in the first month, and it is more appropriate to be interviewed at that time.

A Chinese-American teenager who has never written a book suddenly writes a super-bestseller that sells more than 6 million copies in the first month, which is more than the book of America's top best-selling authors.

Until then, you had not been interviewed and kept it secretive, the more people wanted to know about you and how you suddenly wrote such a high-selling book.

And then at the point when you sell 6 million copies, you are interviewed by several top newspapers, which will definitely detonate public opinion in the United States, and the interview effect will be at its best. ”

"This strategy is very good, you write me a specific plan, thank you. ”

Xu Qing and Johansen chatted about some other things before hanging up the phone.

"Carlyle, are the reporters outside gone?" asked Carlyle, who had been paying attention to the situation of the reporters.

"There are also some reporters out there. Carlyle replied.

"There are also reporters on the company side, and we go to the school to avoid these annoying reporters. Xu Qing said.

Johansen told him that Carney Media also had a lot of reporters, and Xu Qing decided to stay at the school to avoid reporters in the past few days, and by the way, prepare for the exam.

Stanford's exams are approaching, and he has been busy with company affairs in the past few months, rarely going to school, and his exam results must be miserable.

Xu Qing looked at the class schedule, classes started at 10 o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing was going to go to the dormitory to meet his roommates first, and then make his bed, he will live in the school in the next few days.
