Yang Huan doesn't understand romance, so naturally he can't do it. Fortunately, the girl is still young and has just fallen in love, so naturally she doesn't think about it so much, but prefers to be tired of being together.

Yang Huan could see that he was naturally happy. The things that were originally prepared were also postponed by him, and he accompanied Rachel wholeheartedly.

So after the first day of travel, the second day was simply tired of being in the hotel.

After lunch, I played a friendly match with Rachel, rinsed up, and left the hotel.

I have to say that the physique of Westerners is not as strong as imagined, and Rachel was completely unable to withstand his attack, and was defeated in a light way. This made Yang Huan a little unhappy, and he always felt that he was not happy enough. Unlike in Xiangjiang, if you are not happy, you can leave halfway and find someone else to satisfy.

I got out of the elevator and came to the hotel café with some depression, asked for a latte, and drank it while boringly flipping through the newspaper of the day.

Yesterday's general strike of black absenteeism in South Africa was described in the newspapers in great detail, as if it had been a real experience. However, it can be seen that some details are all made up, and I think it is just a reprint or add some of my own polish.

However, the impact of the Mecca tragedy is still there, and there is still a lot of space written about it.

Yang Huan looked at it casually, and he was not interested at all anyway.

Before he was reborn, he didn't know what the Mecca tragedy was or the general strike. Now flip through it, it's nothing more than a freshness. The foreigner lives and dies, and he has a hairy relationship. It's not that he's cold-blooded, but that he was stimulated miserably in later generations, and he wished that all those pigs were dead.

But obviously, this is impossible, and even if he has a butterfly effect, he won't have a birth crisis, so it's better to wash and sleep, and the most important thing is to make money with peace of mind.

If you have time, you will work hard to create a zào family, which is the top priority.

At this moment, he felt two eyes on him, raised his head in surprise, and quickly put down the newspaper and stood up with a smile.

"Mr. Monroe, long time no see."

As he stood up, two middle-aged men also came to his side. One of them is none other than Toms Monroe, editor of Penguin.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, I haven't seen you for a few months, but your demeanor is still the same." Thomas Monroe greeted him warmly, and quickly introduced to the person next to him, "This is Stephen Allen, the general manager of Penguin Publishing. ”

"Mr. Aaron, I didn't expect you to come in person, it's really rude."

Stephen Allen held Yang Huan's hand and said with a smile: "It is we who should apologize, Mr. Yang Huan came to London, and we knew that this was a serious dereliction of duty in our work." ”

This person is in his forties, a typical Westerner, if it were before, Yang Huan would definitely not have much of an impression.

Several people sat down separately, and Stephen Allen looked at Yang Huan and said with emotion: "Mr. Yang, "Jurassic Park" is selling very well, and the first batch of 25 million copies of the English version is almost bottoming out, which is really surprising." ”

Novels that sell tens of millions of copies are really nothing, and many novels have this kind of achievement.

But "Jurassic Park" is different, this is a foreign novel, and it is even more dazzling to get such a result.

"Oh? I remember that the English version was 22 million copies, which is a very good number. ”

The remaining three million copies seem like a lot, but they're actually about to sell out. This is normal, after all, the territory is too wide, and the sales of novels are always a long process. What's more, the present is not as good as the future, the Internet has not yet emerged, and the publishing industry is still very interesting.

Toms on the side looked at Stephen, took a report, and put it on the table: "Mr. Yang, this is the sales number of the novel, I believe you will have a more intuitive impression." ”

Yang Huan took it with a smile and swept it slightly, suddenly surprised.

At the beginning, "Jurassic Park" did not have much sales, which is normal, after all, it is a new book for newcomers, and it is naturally difficult to open sales without fame.

But the quality of the novel is a bargain, even if Yang Huan has already made great revisions.

Coupled with Penguin Publishing's perfect sales channels and hard publicity in the early stage, "Jurassic Park" quickly exploded into its potential after the initial depression.

Especially in the past month, word-of-mouth and publicity have been released, and the global number of 13 million copies has made many authors and publishers jaw-dropping.

Yang Huan was very excited to see such a number, but he understood that this should be the greatest potential of this book. After that, even if the sales were still large, they would never exceed this number.

Even the French, German, Japanese, Latin and many other language copyrights may have reached their limits.

Only the English version has potential, but it is also extremely limited, at most about 20 million copies.

In the previous life, "Jurassic Park" was a big hit, and the sales of over 100 million seemed to be very strong, but in fact, there was an influence of movies in the middle.

The two complement each other, otherwise the novel, even if it could reach such a number, would have taken decades to slowly accumulate.

"That's a pretty good number, and it's really proud."

Seeing that Yang Huan was just smiling faintly, Stephen chuckled in his heart, but a brighter smile appeared on his face: "Yes, the sales of the novel are excellent now, and it can be seen that there will be a long period of high sales in the future." Now that the publisher only has 3 million copies in stock, why don't we sign the second batch of contracts immediately? ”

Yang Huan listened and said with a smile: "Of course, no problem, I also have plans in this regard when I come to London this time." However, the amount of the second batch of publications may not be as cheap as before. ”

The price of the second batch must not be the same as before, and the previous 25 million copies seemed to cost only 6 million pounds from Penguin, which is too little, and even less than the average author in other countries. At least, no matter how good the German, French, and Japanese versions are, the number is limited.

In the world, the most widely spoken language, in addition to Chinese, is English. The English version of the novel can sell well all over the world.

But Yang Huan understood that at that time, his fame was too small, and Penguin Publishing was unwilling to pay a high price. Six million pounds is already a very good price. The same is true, and it has been made a lot of money by the publishing house. This batch of more than 20 million sales is enough for them to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits.

And although these are also the efforts of the publishing house, Yang Huan thinks that he has lost too much.

If it weren't for the lack of fame and the need for publishers to contact film distributors, it would have been impossible to sign like this.

The number of copyrights in other languages is not as large as that of the English version, but the price is higher, which can be seen.

Of course, this also requires the quality of the novel to be good enough, otherwise no matter how much you back down, no one will care.

Stephen hesitated a little and said: "The price of six million pounds is really not low, you must know that Mr. Yang, you are still a newcomer, and now the sales are up, but our publishing house has contributed a lot." ”

Yang Huan shrugged: "Of course, I know very well that it is precisely because of this that I choose to continue to cooperate." "The Matrix" is one of the sincerity, I believe the two can understand. ”

The two looked at each other and sighed, and Stephen was now extremely regretful in his heart.
