The next day.

Faulkner (one of the largest publishing houses in the UK).

Office of the Editor-in-Chief.

"How did that Chinese man's book sell on the first day?" Editor-in-Chief Mars? Picol asked, leaning back in the boss's chair, looking at his editor in front of him.

Today is the second day of the publication of "Trial" and "Sherlock Holmes", and he will pay attention to it while he has time.

"'Trial' sold more than 98,000 copies yesterday, and 'Sherlock Holmes' sold more than 16,000 copies."

Hearing such a report, the corners of Mars's mouth slightly hooked up a smile, revealing an unsurprising expression, and nodded: "With the queen's compliment, even if that copy of "The Trial" is written in an ordinary way, it is expected that more than 98,000 copies will be sold on the first day. As for "Sherlock Holmes", it can sell more than 16,000 copies, I am afraid that it is stained with the light of "Trial". However, we British people are not idiots, how can it be so easy to circle our money? Presumably, its sales will continue to decrease in the next few days. ”

He is very busy with work, so naturally he doesn't have time to read such a little-known novel, not to mention that this novel is still written by a Chinese person.

Oriental books want to sell well in the West?

Just thinking about it made him feel a little funny.

This possibility is not impossible, but it is absolutely impossible for it to happen to a 19-year-old teenager!

As a result, although he had not read Sherlock Holmes, he was confident in his judgment, and in his opinion, the book's dismal first-day sales compared to "The Trial" also confirmed his opinion.

"Hmm...... It's okay, you go down. Mars thought for a moment, then waved his hand to let his men down.

And he continued to devote himself to his work.

……

At the same time, in many bookstores across the UK, a scene is completely opposite to his judgment is being staged at this moment!

"Fack! What the hell is going on?! "William? Thompson pointed to the bookshelf where Sherlock Holmes was placed, and to his friend Lance? Gunther said, looking a little shocked and a little angry.

He's a big detective fan.

Last night, he saw some people recommending Sherlock Holmes on the forum. Several of them were even celebrities in the forum, and this situation naturally made him overturn the previous idea that "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" was Ye taking the opportunity to come to the UK to make money". Gunther discussed it and went to the bookstore the next afternoon to buy a book. As a result, we actually encountered the current situation!

Is the Sherlock Holmes Detective Book in the bookstore sold out?

No, there is!

But there was a large group of people watching from the side, and there was not a single one on the shelf!

How the hell can I buy this?!

Lance smiled bitterly and said, "This situation can only show that this is indeed a very classic detective novel." So much so that none of them let go and went back. ”

Hearing this, William felt even more itchy, stepped forward, patted a young man on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, brother! Do you buy it or not? Can I put it down if I don't buy it? I'm going to buy it. ”

After saying that, he pointed to the bookshelf again and explained, "There is no one on the shelf. ”

The young man was seeing the fascination, but he was interrupted and felt uncomfortable. said angrily: "Of course I buy it, what a quarrel!" I'll pay now! ”

After saying that, he took the book in his hand and went to the cash register, leaving only William, who was a little embarrassed behind him.

Lance patted William on the shoulder and said, "Don't give up, there are still a lot of people here!" Come on! ”

William turned around and said angrily, "Don't be lazy! You ask the same questions as I do! ”

Hearing this, Lance shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.

After some rolling eyes, the two finally bought the book, and it was also because of their urging that the bookstore. "Sherlock Holmes" was announced in advance in the afternoon - sold out!

Sherlock Holmes, when it shows its charm in the UK, will be unimaginably powerful!

……

Early in the morning of the third day.

Faulkner Press.

Office of the Editor-in-Chief.

Mars? After reading some of the manuscripts, Picole put down his pen. Stretching, he stood up and walked to the window, looking into the distance.

"That Huaxia man who doesn't know the height of the sky should be on the street today!" Somehow, Mars, who was relaxing, thought of such a question.

With this in mind, he sat back down after a moment of deliberation and opened his usual news site.

Compared to traditional newspapers. He prefers to watch the news on the Internet, because when he watches the news online, there will be much more reports.

However, before he could retrieve the relevant information, a big headline jumped into his eyes - "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book sold more than 50,000 copies the next day!" ”

What the?! Sales exceeded 50,000 ?!! the next day

Mars couldn't help but shake his hands!

This...... Could it be that this website has been bought to report fake news?

Thinking of this, he opened other news websites, but to his shock - they were all similar reports!

"Sherlock Holmes Detective Books" has a high reputation among detective fans, resulting in a surge in sales the next day, exceeding 50,000!"

"More than 16,000 on the first day, more than 53,000 on the second day, more than three times, I wonder if the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" can continue to grow today?"

"Many detective fans call Sherlock Holmes a classic not to be missed!"

"Evan, a famous detective novelist in my country? Lo: I'm fascinated by Sherlock Holmes's interpretation! ”

……

This dazzling news made him look stupid!

"Tuk tuk tuk ......" knocked on the door.

"Come in." Mars commanded subconsciously.

Pushing the door in, it was an editor under him who saw him holding a copy of the information in his hand, and after a moment of wanting to speak, he said: "Editor-in-chief, there is a new situation today regarding the sales of "Sherlock Holmes......"

Mars came back to his senses, sighed, and said, "I already know the situation, you go down." ”

Suddenly, the editor breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to go out, only to hear the editor-in-chief behind him: "Wait a minute." ”

"Editor-in-chief, what's the matter?" The editor hurriedly turned around and asked.

Mars frowned slightly, hesitated, and said, "You go to the bookstore now to help me buy a copy of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" and come back, hurry!" I need to take a closer look. ”

……

Time passed day by day, but the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" were like a wild horse that had taken off the leash, and it couldn't be stopped!

"The sales of "Sherlock Holmes" exceeded 100,000 on the third day!"

"Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" sold more than 150,000 on the fourth day! All major bookstores across the country are sold out!! ”

"The British subsidiary of Leaf responded that it will step up printing, please don't be anxious!"

"Chris, the master of detective fiction in our country? According to Moulton, Sherlock Holmes's deduction and Ye's layout when writing are well worth learning! ”

"Since Sherlock Holmes set off a sales frenzy in our country, deer hunting hats and pipes seem to have become the standard for detective fans."

……

In just a few days, the British were shocked, Britain was shocked!

However, the shock of Sherlock Holmes goes far beyond that.

When some of the information hidden in the book is discovered, that's the real shock, surprise!!
