Chapter 313 Sales Miracle
In ten days of pre-sale, it reached 3.5 million copies.
A large part of this was purchased by Chen Shi's loyal fans, while the rest were ordinary fans.
Before it was officially released, the book became popular just because it was pre-sale.
You should know that the English version is not very popular in the country.
Moreover, in this era, paper books were not prosperous. Even if there were fewer pirated copies, some popular writers sold well only two or three million copies.
But Chen Shi's is still not very popular in English, and it has not been made into a movie yet. However, with his gold finger, he has broken through the rules. The pre-sale is directly relied on millions of loyal fans and his extraordinary popularity. He became popular before it was sold, and he pre-sales of three million copies at once. Those traditional writers could only sigh that the gap between people is really a world of difference.
Chen Shi understood that he had so many pre-sales. If it were normal, it would be a big hit to be able to pre-sale 100,000 copies. In one or two years, it would be a huge success to be able to sell 20,000 copies.
The company actively places advertisements, coupled with the promotion of millions of loyal fans and the support of tens of millions of fans, both mainstream media and low-profile media in China have advertisements from Harry Potter, most of which are spontaneous fans.
This effect is difficult to achieve even if you spend hundreds of millions of cash on advertising.
It will be officially released on February 20th.
Readers who got the physical book, seeing Chen Shi's introduction, were indeed a great hero.
English version, writer profile: a billionaire with a billionaire, a member of the China Writers Association, a top master writer of Qihang Chinese website, a best-selling writer, and best-selling books such as Doupo and Chen Shi's collection. A total of more than 200 million copies are sold. The most popular best-selling writer in contemporary times, and the TOEFL IELTS test full marks.
Coupled with Chen Shi’s handsome photos, the title page of a book looks like this.
Compared to Chen Shi's title pages, the other writers feel quite shabby.
Looking at the sales trends of Harry in the English version, it is not a problem to sell 20 million copies in China this year.
The cost of a book is extremely low, and coupled with the lack of channel fees, Shenshi Company's net income can reach 75% of a book.
If 20 million copies can be sold, the net profit after tax can reach 600 million yuan. This is only an estimate of domestic sales within a year, and foreign sales are even more important, but there is no effort yet.
In the next few days, the downward trend was quite obvious. Within five days, the official sales and pre-sales were sold in total with 6.5 million copies.
According to media reports, most readers who buy English have poor English skills and cannot even understand them. They simply buy them for collection or support their idols.
In addition, Chen Shi scored all IELTS and TOEFL in English, and readers would hold him to write the best, even if the plot is not very good. But how can a best-selling writer have a trash plot?
With this mentality, Harry English became popular, and there are some of the reasons.
Foreign people worship strong people and rich people, while Chen Shi is a business genius. His wealth has increased by nearly 2 billion US dollars a year. He is not playing the Internet or other high-tech listings, but standing out from the traditional strength with very bad competition. It is all miracles that others cannot imitate, and it is more convincing to others.
Foreigners living in China have quite a few readers who are fans of Chen Shi, who like to read Chen Shi's Chinese, which seems a bit difficult. Originally, they thought that it would be even better if Chen Shi could publish an English copy.
As a result, Chen Shi's first volume was really released, and it was more in line with the appetite of foreigners. Then it was quickly spread abroad and gradually became popular abroad. It was just a book that was hard to find. It was not sold abroad yet, so I could only entrust friends from China to mail it.
Chen Shi started to write Chinese and English in Doupo. He planned to pause the English and start writing Harry's second part.
Doupo is expected to be completed in June. If the gold finger can be upgraded, there will be more cities that can cheat. In a short period of time, funds will be urgently needed, and the business will be on a super big step. Moreover, the comprehensive mall currently being launched urgently needs funds. If it really develops, it will require 20 to 30 billion yuan.
With its current monthly net profit of just over 2 billion, it is still not enough.
The construction of the animation department is urgently needed; the development of opening a city store is urgently needed; a mall requires 20 to 30 billion yuan, and another mall will be far from enough funds.
After all, Chen Shi is very short of money.
So, you have to find money quickly. In the past, I couldn’t make much money by writing books, but now that the number of fans has accumulated, the size of the money can be solved.
Doupo comics must also be carried out. After writing Harry's series, a new volume can be released in three or four months to ensure the sales of the previous volume. The savings of expectation are enough. You can publish the next volume. In addition, Doupo's edge value must also be explored.
It has been a few days since the University of Science and Technology officially started. When students saw Chen Shi, they felt that others were getting more and more handsome. Now they saw his bodyguard driving a Rolls-Royce to pick up people. The students didn’t think he was high-profile, but they could speak.
"Chen Shi earned tens of thousands of dollars every minute. When he drove home, he didn't know how much less he earned. Someone helped him drive, and he could handle affairs in the car. At present, only Rolls-Royce is competent. Other cars are too bumpy and it is not convenient for them to do things in the car."
"Yes, Chen Shi's academic performance is amazing, he still has to write books, and there is still such a large company to manage. He strives for every minute and a second every day, but we are wasting time in class, and we are ashamed!"
"When it comes to the results of Master Chen Shi, I heard that this semester is more abnormal than last semester, and it has widened the second place."
Last semester, Chen Shi's grades were really abnormal. He scored a lot of grades in many subjects, and his credit score reached 491, which was equivalent to 99 points in each subject.
The second place in the college, with a credit score of 443, is an average score of about 94 points. Although it is only a few points different, the second place student feels that it is too difficult to achieve. Chen Shi's deducted score may have some minor flaws in the answer sheet.
He can get 100 points, 99 points, and it has reached the extreme, because the paper score is only 100. If it is countless questions, 10,000 points, maybe Chen Shi can still get 9999 points, and the second place feels that he can only get 1,000 points.
The score of the CET-6 English test has also come out, with an abnormal score of 705. The 3 points are actually 04 or 05 points, which is probably deducted from the composition score. If you encounter a boss who does not strictly evaluate the composition score, maybe Chen Shi's CET-6 score will be a terrifying full score of 710 points.
On that morning, after class, Chen Shi left the classroom with his book. The students passing by knew the super celebrities in the school and would take the initiative to say hello to him happily.
Yu Ran also had a lot of things, so Chen Shi left after finishing his work. When he came to the roadside outside the teaching building, the bodyguard had already parked the Rolls-Royce car. When he saw Chen Shi, he immediately took his car and opened the car door and let the boss get in.
"Go home first and go to the company in the afternoon." After Chen Shi got on the car, he leaned on the seat to read the company report. This was his secretary who helped him organize it and placed it in the car according to his requirements.
"Okay, boss. Uncle Fang has prepared lunch. Do you want to eat something particularly today?" Bodyguard Cai Quan looked back at the boss. Li Anmin, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, was driving. The boss's time is precious every minute.
The bodyguards have calculated the calculations. The boss spent about 60 hours writing Harry English, but his income may not be less than 600 million yuan, and his profit per hour is 10 million yuan, and he is 1.66 million yuan per minute.
Therefore, they themselves are more demanding and delaying their boss for one minute of work, which means they lose more than 100,000 yuan, which is enough for their annual salary.
Their salary has not changed, but during the Chinese New Year, the boss gave each of them a red envelope of 100,000 yuan. At least the benefits are not enough to be said with the boss. The real value is more than 200,000 yuan a year.
They are very satisfied with having such a generous boss.
When the boss is doing things, their bodyguards will be motivated. Only when the boss is relaxing and entertaining can everyone relax together and play.
Rolls-Royce drove steadily into the villa community. The security guard saw the most iconic car in the villa area. He only took a look, quickly opened the telescopic door, and then saluted the car to pass.
The security guards here can remember the car and the face of each household.
Chen Shi waited at home for a while, and Yu Ran also drove back. After lunch together, the nanny poured them a cup of after-meal tea, and they rested for a while.
Having had enough rest, Chen Shi was going to the company for a meeting.
