Chapter 102: Selling Crazy [Asking for Recommendation Votes]

The Sun newspaper news completely portrayed Lin Han as an image of a Chinese writer who had no one in his eyes, but they didn't expect that this would be an advertisement for "I, Robot". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Before they saw the report, readers of The Sun had no idea that this science fiction novel was on the market, and now many people are silently muttering in their hearts, and they don't know who Brian Barker is.

Although "The Sun" has the intention to provoke, this strength is really limited, and readers are not familiar with either person, and the focus is directly on the work.

The media's assistance is powerful, in addition to the "Sun", the "Daily Mirror" treats Lin Han better, after all, it is half of his own family.

not only put the lively situation and vignettes at the signing site, but also put the article "Artificial Beauty" under the news, which directly occupied half of the page.

Several of the most influential newspapers in the UK have also reported on it, such as The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, and the Daily Mail, all of which published the story of Lin Hanfeng's marriage to the Penguin Publishing Group, which contributed to the hot distribution of the novel.

Not only that, under the strong public relations of Penguin Publishing Group, the German Bild, the French newspaper Le Figaro, the New York Times, the Chicago Sun, etc., are all reporting on the launch of the English version of the novel "I, Robot".

Since the English version of "I, Robot" has gathered considerable popularity on Amazon, Penguin Publishing Group has been distributing goods all over the world, and there is not much to worry about at all.

Paper newspapers, social media, professional forums, as long as science fiction is involved, you can see the advertisements and promotions of "I, Robot", which directly bombards the eyes of netizens.

Originally, many people were not ready to read this book, but everyone was talking about buying a copy in order not to fall behind.

……

Early in the morning, London is as busy as ever, well-dressed gentlemen and ladies have to go to work, and tourists from all over the world can't wait to raise their cameras and take pictures around.

A light rain fell from the sky, and people without umbrellas walked forward quickly, some raised their collars, some buttoned up their hoodies, and some took umbrellas out of their bags, and mushrooms poured up from the streets.

Sitting in a café, Lin Han looked at this small shop seriously, although the area is not large, but the decoration is very tasteful, most of the people who are dining around are uncles and old people, and occasionally passing young people enter the store and order a cup of coffee to take.

Lin Han ordered a cup of hot tea and an omelette and sat by the window, directly opposite him was a bookstore, and this location was naturally chosen to better observe the sales of his novels.

The belated bookstore owner opened the door, and the clerks were busy later, and a familiar poster appeared in Lin Han's sight.

After yesterday's fermentation, 100 book signings simply cannot meet the needs of readers, and readers on the Internet basically know today's release time.

After a middle-aged man with an umbrella walked in, it didn't take long for him to take a copy of "I, Robot" out, but he didn't have time to flip through it.

Two teenagers without umbrellas, whose hair was already soaked, put their hands on top of their heads to try to block some raindrops, and they came to the door of the bookstore to hide from the rain.

Those who intend to come to buy, those who unintentionally see advertisements, all kinds of characters.

Just when Lin Han was eating breakfast, he saw about a dozen people buying books and coming out, which seemed to be very good.

You must know that this is an ordinary street bookstore, not a special book building, and it is quite good to be able to sell more than ten copies.

Walking leisurely through the streets of London with an umbrella, Lin Han set off for Paris in the afternoon, and the reassurance in his heart had been eaten, and it was up to him to see how far the physical sales of the novel could go.

Due to the time difference, Europe was the first to hit the shelves, and it was not until noon in Rome that people in the United States woke up from their sleep.

Escorted by two large publishers, the publicity of "I, Robot" is so intensive, it is impossible to keep a low profile in sales.

When Lin Han returned to the Four Seasons Hotel at noon, he walked into the bookstore he saw before, a dazzling array of books were densely placed on the shelves, some editions were even very old, and Taobao should be a more interesting thing here.

"Sir, may I be able to help you?"

The staff in the shirt asked politely, and there was no tendency to be impatient.

Lin Han looked at the bookshelf next to him, and he replied, "I just saw the book "I, Robot" at the door, is there anything else?" ”

"We just put it on the shelves for sale today, and the current sales are very good, only 30 copies, and 21 copies have been sold so far, if the gentleman wants to buy it, it is recommended as soon as possible, it may take two to three days for us to restock."

"Give me a copy, is it £15?"

"That's right. There is no discount on the new book sale for the time being, and the cashier is over there, so I wish you a nice day. ”

With the book in hand, Lynham boarded the Eurostar high-speed train from London to Paris, crossing the English Channel and enjoying the scenery along the way.

……

When the author is immersed in the endless scenery outside the window, science fiction lovers around the world have gone crazy, and when you open the book, you can see the famous "Three Laws of Robots", and watch a Chinese writer depict the history of the development of robots.

New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Munich, Rome, Madrid, Sydney, and Melbourne are all part of the world.

Penguin Publishing Group has placed a large number of orders in most countries, with the United Kingdom and the United States printing 500,000 copies each, and the rest of the countries adding up to hundreds of thousands.

San Martin is not weak, either, and although the Spanish version of "I, Robot" has a slightly lower audience than the English version, it has far outsold the English version in many specific countries.

The two companies have privately discussed their respective scopes, and instead of fighting each other, they complement each other, and some people in the UK also watch the Spanish version, and some people in Spain also watch the English version.

"40,000 copies sold on the first day in France, 50,000 copies on the first day in Italy, 40,000 copies in Germany, 70,000 copies in the United Kingdom, and 90,000 copies in the United States......"

"50,000 copies in Spain, 10,000 in Argentina, 5,000 in Chile, 8,010 in Mexico......"

Lin Han patted his face, there are still some countries that have not been counted due to time problems, but almost all of these countries and regions that have been counted are crazy!

The English version sold 310,000 copies on its first day in the world, while the Spanish version was inferior to 80,000 copies.

You must know that Lin Han's Chinese version only sold so many copies in a month, but the English version and the Spanish version only took one day!

This immediately broke the sales record for overseas publications by Chinese authors, and the previous best-selling book sold only 50,000 copies on the first day, and it did not achieve global synchronization at all.
