Building a road is to accumulate virtue, building a road and paving a bridge is to do good deeds, then building a road and paving a bridge by yourself or the whole county counts, I don't know if it is immeasurable.

Zhang Zhenyi smiled slightly, and then buried his head in calculating, what is needed to build roads, in addition to people is money, this is the main reason for how many years of trapping the political axe of southern Anhui County, he drew out a huge sum of money that will not be less than 50 million when he carried out a big expansion in Carrefour, this is not only an adventure but also a test, if it succeeds, then the future Carrefour will appear more calm and confident.

Fortunately, in the spring of '92, when his funds were at its worst, good news came from the publishing houses of London and Shanghai Jiaotong University again.

After just over a month of nationwide distribution after the year, the first episode of "Ha" was all emptied of the first edition in the first week after it was listed in major cities across the country, and it was not enough to print three times later, so I had to contact the printing house of the publishing house non-stop to start the machine overnight, but before that, the teenager repeatedly emphasized that no matter whether it was in time or not, the quality must be guaranteed, and there can be no inferior quality.

The Chinese version of the book actually took a lot of time and energy, not only to change the language, but also to add and delete some details of the English version in the storyline, and the content is exactly the same, which is more suitable for the domestic market.

In five weeks, this book has sold nearly one million copies in the country, which is simply a miracle in the domestic book publishing market, Zhang Zhenyi knows the power of the domestic piracy market, so the book has introduced some corresponding anti-counterfeiting measures from abroad in advance, and the price is extremely low, although the price of fifteen yuan a copy is still not low, but it has reduced the profits of pirates to the lowest point, and people who buy this book will not buy pirated goods for the sake of a few yuan difference.

In fact, there are so many pirated books in later generations, not only because of the rampant piracy of booksellers, but also because pirated books are cheaper, and genuine books are forty or fifty yuan at every turn, which is a kind of spiritual consumables, which should be very cheap but are priced extremely high, and many books have been shelved because of this, making people look forward to genuine and sigh, electronic audio-visual products are even more so, the price of genuine books can really be consumed by a few people, and the price of an album and a movie abroad is several times higher in China.

The book can sell such amazing results in such a short period of time, not only because the story in the book just satisfies the barren reader's psychology, but also because of Zhang Zhenyi's name and the storm that was set off in England before.

According to the original sharing contract, after deducting the cost of printing, transportation and sales, he can get almost 10 million after-tax profits, and he does not plan to continue to invest in the expansion of Carrefour, but all of them are used to support the construction of southern Anhui, and the first step is to build eight roads large and small in the county.

After the last profit of the book in the UK in August last year, Zhang Zhenyi has not received a penny from that side for six months, and in the last period of time, Chen Lirong has been negotiating with the publishing house in the UK to discuss the issue of distribution rights in Europe, because Zhang Zhenyi really did not have time to rush to the UK in person, so he had to hand it over to Chen Lirong to deal with it all.

At the end of '91, when Zhang Zhenyi was accompanying the old man in Shanghai, the two sides had reached a final agreement, Zhang Zhenyi handed over the distribution rights of the whole of Europe to Newton's company, and agreed that they would distribute the English version all over the world, and the other language versions would also be distributed by them and other publishers.

But no matter who executes the final work, he, as the first author and the owner of the copyright, retains the final copyright of the book and the right to adapt it into any other form of work, that is to say, what he is selling now is only the distribution right, and once he is not satisfied one day, he will not let you release it, but this is also a premise, and the contract cannot be torn up at will, otherwise he will have to bear a huge amount of compensation, which is a constraint on both parties.

As the price of getting the final distribution rights, Newton had to make a huge concession, and after tax, the author could get 40% of the profit in his own name, which was an increase of 5% on the previous basis, which made Zhang Zhenyi extremely satisfied, and directly informed Newton that he was already working on the second book.

The writing of the new book takes a year, because this time the first writing is the Chinese version, the English version has to wait for him to finish writing and translate, for the final translation of the book, Zhang Zhenyi has a brilliant idea, that is, to find the original author of the story, I heard that he has learned Chinese (here is apocryphal, do not spray!) ）。

For Newton, the news not only did not make him excited, but on the contrary, fell into greater distress, because he had already tasted the huge profits and fame brought by this book, and now Zhang Zhenyi is about to finish the second book, but the copyright of the distribution has not yet been obtained in his own hands, which is an extremely unstable factor.

In the glorious time of '92, "Harry Potter" was like a whirlwind, which quickly blew to every corner of the world in a very short time, and when the country was still immersed in the appalling achievements created by teenagers, Newton was already overwhelmed with joy.

"Ben, let them hurry up the time supplement, [***]! and the French and German editions, and let them ship them to Paris and Berlin at once."

"Mr. Newton, Ms. Chen has something to do with you!"

"No, [***], [***], don't you know that I'm busy and don't have time to meet customers. Wait, Sandy, who are you talking about? ”

"Mr. Newton, it's Ms. Lirongchen."

"Oh, MyGod, hurry up and ask her in."

Chen Lirong looked at the busy Sbury Publishing Company, and felt a little strange joy in her heart, that twelve-year-old boy was really amazing.

The members of the company who came and went saw an Oriental female surname walking into the corridor, and they all smiled and nodded, they had known this beautiful Oriental girl for a long time, and it was she who made their bonuses continue to rise.

"Hello, Miss Chen, the president is waiting for you in the office."

Newton's beautiful female secretary saw Chen Lirong standing in the corridor from afar, and immediately took her to the office, in fact, she was also very envious of this oriental girl, who was about her own age, but had a boss who made the whole of Britain and even the European continent fall in love with her.

"Oh, Miss Chen, you see I'm too busy here, it's a little messy, this time I came to the company Mr. Zhenyi Mr. Zhang has something to discuss with us?"

Newton put down the phone in his hand and looked at the Oriental girl in front of him with a cautious expression, he was a young girl in his twenties, not only a top student who graduated from the University of Nottingham, a famous British university, but also the plenipotentiary representative of that amazing boy, which made him have to be cautious.

"Mr. Newton, my boss doesn't have anything special to explain, but he entrusted you this time to tell you that he entrusted you to convert the profits from this sale in Europe into dollars, and then put them into the account from last time, this time."

"Dollars? Why not the pound? Well, the dollar is fine, it's not that hard, but we need some time, you know, we've been really busy lately. ”

Chen Lirong smiled and nodded casually, and after the two talked a few minutes about some of the teenager's opinions, Chen Lirong left the office building in Sbury.

At this time, on the real European continent, France, Germany, Spain and other countries outside the United Kingdom, various versions of "Harry Potter" have begun to be released publicly, and in just a few weeks, Newton has sold crazy numbers.

Millions of copies!

In the first week alone, the total sales of the various editions had already exceeded a terrifying number of millions, and that number continued to increase rapidly as time went on and by the time it became available, until Labor Day, the book had sold a staggering nearly five million copies in Europe throughout the month of April.

The mainstream media throughout Europe is reporting on this frantically, and although I have seen the crazy results of this book in the UK before, it is not worth mentioning compared to the current achievements of the whole of Europe, because this is only Europe, not counting the whole of the Americas, Asia and Australia.

"The magical Oriental boy has conquered Europe again!"

"Are all our teenagers asleep?"

"The magic Zhang of the Red Country!"

"Newton Carney's Eyes on Fortune!"

"Did you buy it today?"

With the big sale of "Ha", not only Zhang Zhenyi was known to the whole of Europe, but Chen Lirong, who attended various sales meetings on behalf of Zhang Zhenyi, was gradually known, and the slightly thin Oriental girl immediately attracted the attention of the whole Europe.

"Miss Chen, how much did you get paid from zhenyi-zhang?"

"Beautiful lady, will you fall in love with Zhang?"

"Ms. Chen, do you know when Mr. Zhang's next book will be released?"

"Ms. Chen—"

"Chen-"

Chen Lirong almost doesn't dare to go out now, except for sleeping in the apartment, she doesn't dare to go out all day, and those media who see the stitches are really annoying, almost pervasive, even on the street can be blocked in the clothing store.

Zhang Zhenyi actually notified her of a salary increase as early as last year, as Zhang Zhenyi's assistant, Chen Lirong should be said to be holding the highest salary in the industry, and she now feels more and more that she sold herself to Zhang Zhenyi at a price of 10,000 pounds last year It was too much of a loss, that kid was too cunning, and he thought he had taken a big advantage and saved him money everywhere, but he didn't expect that the wealth handled from his hands in just one year reached hundreds of millions.

An annual salary of £200,000!

This is the salary that Zhang Zhenyi promised to Chen Lirong a few years ago, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation can be reimbursed, within 100,000 pounds.

In this era, the annual salary of two million, which can actually be called three million yuan, was enough to startle Chen Lirong.

At this time, the young man was distressed by Liu Yunqing's phone call.
