Chapter 219: Under Praise

The popularity of "Twilight" is extremely exciting, even if it is not related to the publishing industry, it is also infected by the crazy followers of "Twilight" around them.

What's more, he even touted "The Twilight Zone" as "the only national reading book that has aroused crazy pursuit from all walks of life since the founding of the United States." ’

It may be too early to call it a 'national read,' as Twilight's total sales are only 3.5 million copies.

Judging from the data, "Twilight" can be regarded as a small fire at best. Because there are so many books that have sold more than 3 million copies, it is impossible to see how dazzling it is.

However, when you take a closer look at the cumulative sales of "Twilight", you will be surprised to find that its sales were less than 80,000 copies in the first three days, but on the fourth day it soared to 1.5 million copies, and it was only half a day.

What's even more terrifying is that after a few days, the two million copies of "Twilight", which were urgently reprinted, were sold out wildly within a few hours.

Someone once used a figurative metaphor to say: "The Twilight Stroe makes people crazy more terrifying than seeing bread in a state of hunger." ”

When this sentence still spread, someone immediately sighed: ""The Twilight Zone" is the spiritual bread that everyone reminisces about or enjoys the flowering season." Link used it to make people who missed that golden age feel from the heart. Let those who are going through the golden age cherish their teenage time. Because. It's going to be gone. And we can only reminisce from "Twilight" in the future. It's a good feeling. ”

A novel that sold only three and a half million copies. It has sparked heated discussions among citizens of all ages in the United States, and some people have even strongly called for the next Nobel Prize to be awarded to Link.

And Link almost shuddered when he heard this rumor.

"If the Nobel Prize is really awarded to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it myself."

He thinks he can't reach the heights of winning a Nobel Prize with just one copy of "The Twilight Saga." If this were the case, then "Harry Potter" would have won several Nobel Prizes a long time ago. Apparently. This is not the case.

However, whether he can win the Nobel Prize or not, Link actually doesn't care. What he really values is the next step that Twilight will give him. What kind of readership to build.

Writing novels is not his purpose, but a series of follow-up plans are what he values the most.

It's just that. The printing speed of Twilight. Apparently not meeting Link's expectations. And when little Tom, who was in charge of this work, rushed to plead guilty in person, Link smiled very deeply.

"Employing people without suspicion is the most basic principle of my selection. Not because I don't doubt, but because I already know everything. ”

When Link said this, little Tom almost fainted in front of him, sweating profusely, and hurriedly promised that the printing speed of "Twilight" would increase to 2.5 million copies a day, and a week later it would reach more than 3 million copies a day.

When little Tom was almost in a state of running. That's when he left Link's office. It turned out that he had just gone around in the hands of death not long ago.

He also understands that this may be an ultimatum for the small boss. If he hadn't decisively distributed the list of "Twilight" to several large printing companies, I am afraid he would have been swept away by now.

But Link looked at Little Tom's back and shook his head: "This guy's ability is actually not bad, otherwise how could I let a guy who has not achieved enough things to stay under my nose?" ”

In fact, Link has already checked the information of Tom Jr. and even all the employees in key positions.

At the helm of a vast media empire, Link has already started to privately acquire a number of media companies after CAA Media Group unveiled its 'All Entertainment' plan.

Even the "Thinking Daily", which suddenly broke the news some time ago, is actually a bargaining chip in Link's hands. Not only these, but in Link's acquisition list, there are also industries such as package gossip magazines.

Although these things may seem inconspicuous, Link is confident that they will burst out with the most amazing energy at the critical moment.

"I really want to see what happens to my opponents when I play all my hole cards. Well, who will be the first unlucky ghost? ”

Link couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smirked.

A real person in power does not need to control every trace of power, it will only make him unable to move forward. Only a person who cares nothing about everything, and sees everything through all the time, is a true master of the empire.

Maybe Link is still very immature a lot of the time, but when he really has his eyes on a target, even the president of the United States will not feel good.

After thinking for a while, Link first called home and asked Mira and Jessica to get ready to 'sleep', and then snickered and opened a mysterious login and began to contact Julianne. Assange.

With his fingers twitching lightly on the keyboard, Link sent a message: "How's the website going?" ”

Right off, Julianne. Assange replied: "Hello Mr. Link, according to your instructions, the WikiLeaks website has begun to be built, and it will be able to log in normally in a few months." ”

"Well, good, it's better to get everything done before next year's election, and I'll let you know what's going on when the next part happens."

Once the message was sent, Link turned off his computer and began to inform Andrew in the Network Department that he should start recruiting a few designated people into the company.

When Andrew saw the list, he frowned slightly in surprise. Because, there are even teenage boys on it, and he can't figure out what the little boss is crazy again. But there was no way, he had to do it.

On the other hand, Julianne. Assange was also staring blankly at the computer screen. Although the $10 million that Link gave him relieved his urgent need. But. He couldn't see through the big boy in his twenties.

The other party gave him funds for free and helped him build his own website. On the other hand, he kept reminding him that the other party was just a 'stranger' who couldn't even talk about a cooperative relationship with him. It's not even a subordinate relationship, which makes Julianne. Assange was deeply confused.

But how did he know that Link didn't want to get involved with him, but he didn't dare.

Like Julianne. A 'dangerous person' like Assange is definitely someone that many countries want to kill. Although Link continued to help him, and even gave him advice, he never made it clear what kind of relationship the two parties were.

And what about Link. Preparations have already begun for a large-scale replacement of network equipment for the company. Without exception, all of them are not produced in the United States, and even require that every employee in a key position in the company is not allowed to use email to deliver the company's core documents.

Although everyone didn't understand the purpose of the little boss in doing this. But people are bosses, and as employees, they have to obey their arrangements, who asked Link to pay their salaries? And this salary is very good in the whole industry.

After all this, Link's debut novel, The Twilight Zone, is finally available again.

This time. People who are anxious to buy books are even more ferocious. Some people are crazy enough to buy a copy of "The Twilight Zone". And waited in line in front of the book supermarket all night.

Something similar is happening in many places almost all over the United States, and when the media learned about it, they rushed to follow up on it and began to prepare for tomorrow's headlines.

Everyone knows that tomorrow will be another terrible day. Even without having to look at any data, people in the media know exactly what to do with tomorrow's headlines.

When the next morning came, the major book supermarkets opened their doors, and each of them placed the book "Twilight" in the most prominent place.

Several employees are on standby. The expression was extremely serious, as if it was about to be a tough battle.

The workers in charge of delivery had already received orders to load the goods at any time. A whole box of goods had already been stacked, the forklift had been in a starting state since early in the morning, and everyone who delivered the goods knew very well that they had no time to rest until this copy of "Twilight" was sold out.

From the moment book supermarkets across the United States opened, the spectacular rush to buy was upon us once again.

The salesperson was so busy that his voice was almost hoarse, perhaps he was already hoarse.

The delivery workers were running back and forth with boxes of "Twilight", already tired and sweating.

At the same time, the major print media no longer have to wait for tomorrow's sales data to come out, and directly publish the headline content that was discussed all night last night.

The headline in The New York Times read: "For the first time, American writers stand up and no longer have to fear the 'British cold snap.'" Because, when Link began to write the first word, it was the moment when the American native novel counterattacked the British giants! ”

The Washington Post has its own 'bestseller edition', so the attention paid to Link and Twilight is definitely the most enthusiastic in the entire print industry.

Its headline also read: "'Twilight' is not just the pride of Link alone, but the pride of the entire American writers' circle, and the pride of the whole United States!" Because Link not only created a generation of classic images, but also reshaped the confidence of the United States! ”

The bloody Los Angeles Times even wrote its own headline in a 'prophetic' manner: "Warmly celebrate the sale of 'Twilight' breaking the 5 million mark, and the 2.5 million copies of the second emergency print sold out again in a few hours." What the? You say the sales statistics haven't been released yet? Well, tomorrow's sales statistics are completely out of the question, they just need to copy a copy of the headline from the Los Angeles Times. (To be continued......)

ps: I just got home, there are more things, and I still have two shifts these days. I will find a time to break out in one or two outbreaks, and I will fulfill my promise before the end of the month, and resume three changes in one day.
