Chapter 13: New Books Are Hot (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Bloomsbury Press, Severn and Rosamund sat together, quietly sipping coffee.
"You're not in a hurry at all." Rosamund chuckled at the calm Severn, she had never seen a rookie writer in the mood for coffee when a new book was published, but it was relieved to think about Severn's identity.
Severn put down the coffee in his hand, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have confidence in my book, besides, the book has already been written, what's the use of being in a hurry, it depends on whether the reader buys it or not." ”
"Hehe, there's a little truth to what you said." Rosamund shrugged.
Honk~
Just then, Rosamond's phone rang, and Rosamund glanced at Severn and picked it up.
"What?!"
I didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but I saw Rosamund's pupils shrink suddenly, and then he said excitedly: "Printing, call the printing house immediately to inform the printing house to add printing!" ”
"How much?"
"Five hundred thousand, no, a million copies, and another million copies will be printed immediately!" Rosamund commanded at once, her chest rising and falling with the ups and downs of her mood.
Rosamund hung up the phone, looked at Severn who was sitting next to him and said excitedly: "Young Master Severn, do you know how much your books have sold?" ”
Seeing this, Severn said calmly: "I don't know how much it sold, but I see your reaction, and most of my book's results are good." ”
"It's not bad! It's just against the sky! In less than an hour, all the 100,000 copies of the first printing were sold out! Rosamund couldn't help himself with excitement.
Bloomsbury Publishing House has no more books to support the scene except for a series of Harry Potter books, and now, the popularity of Severn's new books has undoubtedly given her hope, and the hope of Bloomsbury Publishing House to transform from a second-rate publishing house to a first-class publishing house!
"Oh? Not bad. ”
Severn was also relieved in his heart, don't look at him calm on the surface, but he was still a little nervous in his heart, "The Da Vinci Code" was a bestseller in the previous life, but Severn was also afraid of any accidents, but obviously, the result is not bad now.
The first printing of 100,000 copies sold out within an hour is something that only the kind of best-selling author can do.
"Master Severn, forgive me for not being able to accompany you here, many bookstores are urging for books, I have to go down and keep an eye on it." Rosamund confessed.
"Hmm."
Severn also got up and went back to his small apartment, waiting for news of the new book sale.
On the first day, 100,000 copies were sold out.
The next day, a million copies were sold out!
On the third day, three million copies were sold out!
...........
It was a hit, and "The Da Vinci Code" became a complete explosion in the United Kingdom, and this popularity quickly spread to Europe and the United States.
In just three days, Severn's The Da Vinci Code sold tens of millions of copies in Europe and more than seven million copies in the United States!
Now at the door of various bookstores in the UK, you can see countless people lining up to buy "The Da Vinci Code", and in three days, the sales of Severn's "The Da Vinci Code" not only did not show any decline, but continued to rise!
The Times:

........
British newspapers completely regarded Severn as a star, and tirelessly reported Severn and Severn's "The Da Vinci Code", which made the sales of "The Da Vinci Code" increase again!
At this time, those British literary critics couldn't sit still, and stood up and commented:
"Mr. Spencer's brilliant writing, the plot settings are interlocking, the suspense foreshadowing is endless, and the mechanism settings are exhausted, which makes people can't bear to let go!"
"Severn Spencer's unbridled imagination and real brushstrokes make people unconsciously fall into it, and it can be said that "The Da Vinci Code" officially opens the door to a suspenseful new century!"
There is basically a voice of praise within the UK, because it was written by their own British people, and they are also the son of the Earl of Spencer, which is incredible! Naturally, it was praised to the sky, but in Rome, The Da Vinci Code was heavily criticized.
"The Da Vinci Code completely distorts the facts, it's just nonsense."
"This is a challenge to Christianity!"
"Cultist self-delusions!"
Countless Christians have attacked Severn's "The Da Vinci Code", especially Severn's description of Christianity and Catholicism in the book, which has been specially criticized by a large number of Romans!
There are even Roman government officials who burned this novel in public, which shows what kind of craze this novel has set off in Europe, but no matter how much Rome and those religious people resist the Sceven "Da Vinci Code", it is still unstoppable from its popularity.
In just one week, The Da Vinci Code sold 65 million copies worldwide, making it one of the world's bestsellers, and Severn became one of the top British authors!
Countless newspapers and TV wanted to interview Severn, but Severn refused, and the consequence of the refusal was that Severn's previous materials, especially the singing video that was posted on the Internet some time ago, were turned over, and Severn became popular again!
Superior family background, excellent appearance, and unmatched talent make Severn the prince charming in the hearts of British girls!
And Severn finally realized the troubles after becoming famous, as soon as Severn went out, there were countless cameras shooting at Severn, and it was completely inseparable, so that Severn had to stay at home during this time.
At the same time, Severn also got his own manuscript fee, 65 million copies sold, he accounted for 15% of the profit share, and the price of each book was 6.5 pounds, Severn income, after deducting the tax rate, there are more than 33 million pounds left!
Severn became the youngest multimillionaire in the UK!
I don't know who leaked the news, and now the newspapers are all about Severn becoming a multimillionaire, and the British newspapers are all kinds of touting, and there is a rhythm of wanting to put Severn on the altar.
Severn didn't think much of it after getting the money, he took out 10 million pounds and smashed it into his Facebook studio, and before he could figure out what to do with the rest of the money, his mother Catherine called.
"Son, I heard that you made money?"
"Well, I made a little money, what's wrong, Mom?" Severn asked.
"A little money?! Son, what do you mean, you look down on your mother, don't you, my mother, I have worked hard for most of my life to earn a little more money than you, and you are embarrassed to tell me that you only made a little money?! Catherine's voice raised.
"Uh....... Mom, just tell me what you're going to do. Severn smiled bitterly, a little? He didn't believe that his mother's money was only a little more than his own, and with Catherine's shrewdness, he didn't know how many invisible assets there were.
"How do you know I'm looking for you?" Hearing Severn's answer, Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"Mom, with your character, do you still need me to guess?" Severn was speechless.
"Okay, okay, sure enough, I can't hide anything from my clever son! At the end of this month, we have a party, you must come, do you hear me? Catherine commanded.
"Don't tell me it's those ladies again!"
"Sure enough, it's smart, just guess it! When you come, I'll have to humiliate them severely, hum~" Catherine snorted angrily over there.
British upper-class people want to save face, last time Catherine lost face in front of them, this time she has to take her son to get the field back, this kind of thing Severn has experienced too much.
"Well, Mom, I have something to do." Severn excused.
Who knows, Catherine cried directly: "Woo~, son, did you forget your mother when you were rich, I thought I worked hard to bring you up and give you ......."
"Alas~"
Severn sighed, it was the same trick again.
Since she was a child, Catherine has abducted Severn to attend those parties in this way, and every time Severn can't help but agree, and this time is no exception, Severn agreed if he could!
But Severn regretted it as soon as he spoke, but it was too late, and Catherine hung up happily and told him that he must go home first, and then he was gone, and did not let Severn say much at all.
Severn shook his head with a wry smile, now that he has made a name for himself, he can go home and be confident, he doesn't have as many scruples as before, but before that, he has to get his album right.
