Exploring the Secret: Dig the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 20 The Miracle of Publishing History

Does Qin Chen have the ability to foretell?

Ugh!
She couldn't help but sighed!
Maybe it's because my knowledge is too shallow.

She compared the book "Daoshi Wang and His Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" with the information left by Daoshi Wang.

Among them, he will be among the foreigners when they go out for inspection.

He secretly packed those precious scriptures, ancient scrolls, magical instruments and scrolls into big boxes and moved them into a cave that only he knew.

……

The Dean's Office.

Qin Chen handed over the book he wrote to Dean Wei.

The purpose is very simple, to rectify the name of Taoist Wang.

After careful consideration, Dean Wei made a bold decision - to erect a monument and biography for Taoist Wang.

The statue stands in front of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes!
"Qin Chen, on behalf of all the staff of the Dunhuang Research Institute and those who care about Dunhuang, thank you!"

"There is a lot of Buddha's fate, why bother to talk about thanking words!"

"You boy! It's such a sentence that choked me up."

"After reading this book, if you find it valuable, you can publish it. I will donate all the royalties to fund the restoration of the Mogao Grottoes."

"In addition, I hope to face up to that period of history, evaluate Wang Daoist fairly, and comfort his spirit in heaven!"

Dean Wei finished reading Qin Chen's book overnight.

Every time I see something wonderful, I'm almost shocked.

He also lamented that although Taoist Wang caused the loss of some precious cultural relics, it can be described as the pain of the country and the nation.

But without him, it is estimated that the loss would be even more serious.

Day two.

Dean Wei printed and distributed the book internally, and first published it for reading in the Dunhuang Academy.

At the same time, a sentence was added: the soul of Dunhuang, who has been guarding the Mogao Grottoes for more than 30 years, has dedicated his life to this holy place.

Dean Wei told him the news of the immediate publication.

He kindly invited Dean Wei to write a preface for this book.

Dean Wei communicated directly with the president of Dunhuang Research Press, and the draft was finalized in less than two or three days.

Qin Chen was unwilling to publish books under his real name, so he gave himself a pen name called Wuwo.

Without me, this kid Qin Chen is interesting!
Dean Wei who is familiar with scriptures.

Naturally, he knew that the origin of Qin Chen's pseudonym was taken from a sentence in the "Diamond Sutra".

With no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no life span, if you practice all good Dharma, you will achieve Anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

At this time, one news after another came one after another.

News organizations at home and abroad are publishing articles one after another, always paying attention to the new discoveries of cultural relics in Dunhuang.

Most of them are headline parties!

"It turns out that the real Dunhuang cultural relics are still in Dunhuang!"

"Dunhuang discovers rare Buddhist scriptures in the world!"

"It turns out that Taoist Wang is the guardian of Dunhuang, not a traitor!"

……

The president of Dunhuang Research Publishing House has a keen sense of the market.

After obtaining the consent of Dean Wei, the pre-sale will be launched online immediately.

"The director of the Dunhuang Academy personally wrote the preface, and the writer Wuwu has devoted himself to years of research and the masterpiece "Wang Daoshi and His Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" is finally published!"

"The only book highly recommended by Wei Jianhua, director of the Dunhuang Academy!"

"Uncover the century-old Dunhuang mystery!"

"Recommended by hundreds of Dunhuang research scholars and professors in China!"

……

Just one day.

The number of orders is close to one million copies.

Except for the mysterious story of Wang Taoist.

There are also ancient scriptures and scrolls newly discovered by the Dunhuang Academy that attract the world.

The president of Dunhuang Research Publishing House looked at this data for a long time and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

at this time.

Qin Chen had already turned a deaf ear.

Concentrate on hiding in Cave 158 to restore the reclining Buddha statue.

Dean Wei finally got excited and agreed to Qin Chen.

There is only one request, that is, let him stop showing off and stop immediately if he cannot repair it.

At this time, the pre-sale data also ushered in a terrifying growth.

There are nearly 3000 colleges and universities in China, and some colleges and universities order hundreds of copies.

There are also major libraries, and the number of orders from major academic research institutions is also extremely terrifying.

There are also universities and institutions from all over the world.

Individuals who love Dunhuang cultural relics, etc., have ordered books.

Waiting to have a look at this book to understand the real history in that historical vortex.

In just one week, the pre-sale data reached more than 500 million copies!

During the period, the website for pre-sale books.

Because there were too many visitors, it experienced many downtimes and the system crashed.

The book website had to ask a leading domestic Internet company to send additional technical personnel.

Responsible for normal access to the book pre-sale page of the website.

This data is unprecedented!

Even if the single book is priced at 48 yuan!
A week's sales have reached a terrifying 8 million yuan.

Royalties are generally eight percent.

But Dunhuang Research Publishing House wanted to take care of Dean Wei's face.

In addition, I learned that all royalties from this book will be donated to the Dunhuang Academy for restoration.

After several internal meetings and discussions, the author's royalties were finally increased to 13.00%.

Calculated in this way, Qin Chen actually donated nearly [-] million yuan!

But only three people knew about this matter, one was Li Chunxi and the other was Dean Wei.

Even if the president of the publishing house wanted to meet with "WuSe" to thank him in person, he was rejected by Dean Wei.

And in the heart of the publisher president.

The author of this book has long been thought to be Dean Wei.

Dunhuang Research Publishing House has already suspended other publications.

Everyone revolves around the book "Wang Daoshi and His Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes".

When had they published a book that sold so much!

They are setting a record every moment.

A new record in publishing history!
They don't need to create buzz.

Because Dunhuang is the biggest topic!

Rumors from the outside world arose on a whim, and it was speculated that the writer Wuwo was the director of the Dunhuang Academy.

Dean Wei wanted Qin Chen to come forward to clarify, but he refused.

There are three reasons: those who clean up clean up themselves!
Second: Mystique increases sales.

The most important point is the third point. He doesn't want to be in so much trouble. It's just a false name.

The other two are just excuses!

But the third one didn't tell Dean Wei, probably the other party would vomit blood in shock.

Li Chunxi is also paying attention to this matter!
Sitting in front of the computer, the mood is difficult to calm down!
She didn't know why she was excited.

This book has indeed climbed to an unattainable sales level with the release of Dunhuang antiquities.

What surprised her even more was that Qin Chen proposed to donate all the royalties he earned!
Naturally, her curiosity about Qin Chen became more and more intense.

But she knew that it was time for her to leave.

The next day, I left a letter on the table and left Dunhuang!
