Little Farmer Big Star

The major publishing houses are envious and jealous, and some publishers may even hate it, such as Autumn Rain Publishing House.

Han Feng and Huang Zhaoyang couldn't believe it at first.

380,000 copies, are these statistics wrong?

If it had sold 380,000 copies on the first day yesterday, they wouldn't be as surprised as they are now.

100,000 copies on the first day and 380,000 copies on the second day. There is a decimal point missing. It should be 380,000 copies.

They were still saying yesterday that the total sales volume of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone would be difficult to exceed 400,000 copies. It's only the second day that the total sales volume has reached 480,000 copies. This is such a slap in the face. It's a bit too fast.

Huang Zhaoyang cursed secretly, "Damn it, what the hell is going on? Did we really make a mistake? Then Li Fan is obviously writing this kind of work for the first time, how can he have such high sales?"

Han Feng said: "Old Huang, what I'm worried about now is its sales volume tomorrow. If it continues to rise, the magazine will have some objections to us!"

"Magic!" Huang Zhaoyang cursed again. Naturally, he had the same worry.

If sales of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone continue to rise, they could really be in some trouble.

Although they are also the persons in charge of the magazine, Qiu Yu Publishing House is a first-class large-scale publishing house in the country. It has several shareholders, and the shareholders are not very happy with each other.

If there are shareholders who are not close to them, and they take advantage of their decision-making mistakes this time to make some articles against the shareholders who are close to them, it will be a bit difficult to handle.

After thinking about it, Huang Zhaoyang continued: "Don't worry, Old Han, it can't continue to rise. The market is so big. Today is the peak period of buying. Tomorrow, sales will return to yesterday's sales, and they will continue to decrease every day after that. This is the law of the market. It is inconceivable that it breaks the law of the market once, and it cannot be broken again, again, and again."

Han Zhong nodded and said: "Yes, the market rules cannot always be broken. In addition, the sales of the entries of Jim, Chutel, Laytoni, Antal and others this time are also good in the past two days. Among them, The cumulative sales of Jim's Dream Country in the past two days have reached 160,000 copies, 90,000 copies on the first day, and 70,000 copies today. Such data can also add some chips for us."

Huang Zhaoyang also nodded and said, "Yes, we actually don't need to worry too much."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and suddenly smiled relaxedly.

…

Lan country.

Jim's entry this time, "Dream Country," has been selling well in many countries for two consecutive days, with cumulative sales exceeding 1 million copies. He was in a very happy mood.

However, the news came from China that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold 380,000 copies the next day, which immediately dissipated Jim's good mood.

On the first day, the sales volume of 100,000 copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was slightly higher than the 90,000 copies of Kingdom of Dreams. This was completely within Jim's expectation.

After all, Li Fan is the first person in Chinese children's literature, and he also has many identities. His works can sell a lot just by relying on his name.

But the sales volume the next day was 380,000 copies versus 70,000 copies, which was a complete crush.

The reason for this situation is most likely because the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is really well written.

Otherwise, such a situation would be impossible.

Jim frowned slightly, was he really good at writing? Fortunately, the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that he ordered through a good relationship has arrived, and has been sent to Sander Publishing House in Jared, asking translators to help translate it.

Presumably, you won’t have to wait too long to see it.

Jim did not wait long. That night, Jerry came to Jim's home with two books.

As soon as Jim asked Jerry to sit down, Jerry handed Jim a book and said, "Jim, this is the Spanish version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone you asked for. I know you need it urgently, so The workers were asked to hurry up and print two copies.

You take one, and I'll take the remaining one back. "

Jim took the book from Jerry and did not read it immediately. Instead, he put it aside and said, "Thank you, Jerry. I heard that this book sold 380,000 copies the next day. , what do you think? Jerry."

Jerry said: "This is indeed very surprising. I think I need to go back and read this book."

Jim nodded and said: "Jerry, you are right. We should really read it carefully."

Jerry said: "Okay, Jim, goodbye for now, I have to go."

Jim said, "Okay, Jerry, bye."

After Jerry left with another book, Jim picked up the Lanvin version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that he had just put aside with a somewhat solemn expression.

The book had no cover and the printing was not exquisite. It was obviously rushed out, but Jim didn't care about this.

He opened the text directly and started reading.

"The Dursleys, who live at No. 4 Privet Drive, always say proudly that they are a very well-behaved family, please, please. They have never been involved in mysterious and weird things, because they don't believe in those evil ways at all... "

This first paragraph shocked Jim. This work is just based on their Western world. How do you feel now that the narrative habits and methods of this work are similar to their Western writers?

If he hadn't known that this was a work by Li Fan from China, Jim would have thought that it was a work by some Western writer.

Is this the case with Li Fan’s original text? Or did the translators of Sander Publishing House deliberately change the narrative habits of their Western writers during the translation process?

Jim thought it was necessary for him to go to the translator tomorrow to confirm.

Putting the thought aside for the moment, Jim continued to look down.

The more I look at it, the more surprised I am, and the more I look at it, the more incredible it becomes.

He also gradually understood the reason why Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was able to sell 380,000 copies the next day.

…

After Jerry came out of Jim's house, he returned directly to his own home.

As soon as he entered the door, his 12-year-old daughter Lucy ran over, hugged Jerry's leg and said, "Dad, you are back. Is the book you are holding in your hand specially bought for me?"

Hearing what his son and daughter said, Jerry had to scream inwardly. He had originally promised to buy his daughter a children's fantasy literature book today.

However, on the way back, he had been thinking about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone selling 380,000 copies the next day, and he even forgot about buying books for his daughter.

My daughter likes to read books, including fairy tales, fantasy literature, children's poetry, children's prose and other books that she can understand.

Jerry was also very proud that he had such a daughter who loved reading.

However, Jerry is often a little troubled now.

Because my daughter is 12 years old, which is neither too old nor too young at this age. There are very few books suitable for this age. In addition, my daughter has read too many books and is becoming more and more picky about books.

When it comes to finding books suitable for my daughter, there are even fewer.

Of the books Jerry bought for his daughter recently, very few of them said they liked them, and they all said they could only read them reluctantly, which was a lot of trouble for Jerry.

Today, when Jerry went out, he promised his daughter that he would definitely buy a book that would satisfy her daughter.

However, let alone buying a book that satisfied his daughter, he simply forgot about it.

Jerry coughed lightly and was about to tell his daughter that he forgot to buy the book today and would definitely buy it back tomorrow.

But when he lowered his head, he saw his daughter's eyes full of hope. What she wanted to say just now, she couldn't say.

Jerry couldn't help but be a little anxious, and his eyes accidentally fell on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

Suddenly, I thought: "Isn't Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone just fantasy literature? Although my daughter probably won't like it and will be disappointed, it's better than the disappointment I brought her if I forgot to buy her a book. Bar."

After thinking about it, Jerry smiled and said: "Of course, Lucy, this is the book I bought for you."

Lucy cheered, took the book from Jerry's hand, and ran away happily.

Before taking two steps, Lucy turned around again, looked at Jerry suspiciously and said, "But, Dad, why doesn't it have a cover? Besides, it feels pretty rough."

"Ahem!" Jerry coughed slightly and said, "That's right, Lucy, this is a sample copy of a new book from Dad's publishing house. It's not yet on the market. Dad brought it back specially for Lucy to see."

When Lucy heard what Jerry said, her eyes lit up and she said, "Really? Dad, then it must be very beautiful, right?"

Jerry coughed again and said, "Yes!"
