The richest man starts from a street stall

Chapter 314 Sales Miracle

Pre-sales reached 350 million copies in ten days.

Most of them were bought by Chen Shi's diehard fans, and the rest were ordinary fans.

Before it was officially released, the pre-sale made the book a hit.

You must know that the English version of the novel does not have a very wide audience in China.

Moreover, in this era, paper books are not booming. Even if there are much fewer pirated copies, some popular authors only sell 300 to [-] million copies.

But Chen Shi's English novel is not very popular, and it hasn't been made into a movie yet, but he has broken through the rules with his golden finger, and the pre-sale directly depends on millions of die-hard fans and his popularity. , it became popular before it was sold, and 300 million copies were pre-sold all at once. Those traditional writers can only sigh, the gap between people is really a world of difference.

When Chen Shi saw so many pre-sales, he also understood it. According to normal conditions, it would be a big hit to be able to pre-sell 300 copies. After a year or two, it would be a huge success to sell [-] million copies.

The company took the initiative to place advertisements, coupled with the promotion of millions of die-hard fans and the support of tens of millions of fans, there are Harry Potter advertisements in domestic mainstream media or non-streaming media, most of which are fan spontaneous .

This kind of effect is difficult to achieve by spending hundreds of millions of cash on advertisements.

It will be officially launched on February 2th.

Readers who got the physical book saw Chen Shi's profile, and they were sure to be Dahao.

English version of the novel, author profile: a billionaire, a member of the Huaguo Writers Association, a top writer on Qihang Chinese.com, a best-selling author, with best-selling books such as Dou Po and Chen Shi Anthology, with a total sales of over [-] million copies, the most popular contemporary The best-selling author of TOEFL and IELTS.

Coupled with Chen Shi's handsome photo, the title page of a book looks like this.

Compared with Chen Shi's title pages, the title pages of other writers feel quite shabby.

Looking at the sales trend of the English version of Harry, it is not a problem to sell 2000 million copies in China this year.

The cost of a book is extremely low, plus there is no distribution of channel expenses, Shenshi's net income can reach 75% of a book.

If 2000 million copies can be sold, the net profit after tax can reach 6 million yuan. This is only an estimate of domestic sales within one year, and overseas sales account for the majority, but it has not yet been launched.

In the next few days, the downward trend in sales was obvious. Within five days of official sales and pre-sales, a total of 650 million copies were sold.

According to media reports, most of the readers who buy English novels do not have a good command of English or even can’t read them. They buy them purely for collection or to support idols.

Coupled with Chen Shi's full score in the IELTS and TOEFL English test, readers will hold that his novels must be excellent, even if the plot is not very good.But for a writer of best-selling novels, how can the plot be rubbish?

With this mentality, this is part of the reason why Harry English became so popular.

Foreign countries worship the strong and the rich, but Chen Shi is a business wizard. His wealth has exploded by nearly 20 billion US dollars in a year, and he is not playing with the Internet or other high-tech listings, but standing out from the traditional strength with very harsh competition, and They are all miracles that cannot be imitated by others, and are more convincing to others.

Among foreigners living in China, there are quite a few readers who are fans of Chen Shi. They like to read Chen Shi’s Chinese novels, which seems to be a bit difficult. Originally, they thought it would be better if Chen Shi could publish an English novel. .

As a result, Chen Shi's first volume of novels really came out, and it was more in line with the appetite of foreigners, and then quickly spread abroad, where it gradually became popular, but it was hard to find one book, and it has not been sold abroad yet. Only friends in Huaguo can be entrusted to mail.

On Chen Shi's side, he was busy writing Dou Po's Chinese and English novels. He planned to stop writing the English novels and start writing Harry's second novel.

Doupo is estimated to be over in June. If the golden finger can be upgraded, there will be more cities that can cheat and develop. Funds will be urgently needed in a short time, and the business will reach a super level. Moreover, the comprehensive mall currently being developed is in urgent need of funds. It is really It needs 300 billion yuan for its development.

The current monthly net profit of just over 20 billion is not enough.

There is an urgent need for money for the construction of the animation department; money is also urgently needed for the development of city stores; one mall needs 300 billion, and one more mall will be far from enough.

After all, Chen Shi was very short of money.

Therefore, I have to find money quickly. I couldn't make much money by writing books before, but now I have accumulated a lot of fans, and the accumulation of small things can make a lot of money, but it can solve the problem of funds at hand.

Doupo comics will also be developed. After finishing Harry’s series, a new volume will be released in three or four months, which will ensure the sales of the previous volume. The savings of anticipation are enough, and the next volume can be released. In addition, Dou Po The added value of the broken edge also starts digging.

The Polytechnic University has officially started for a few days. When the students see Chen Shi, they feel that he is getting more and more handsome. Now when they see his bodyguard driving a Rolls Royce to pick him up, the students don't think he is high-profile, but they can talk.

"Chen Shi earns tens of thousands of dollars every minute. When he drove home, he didn't know how many thousands of dollars he lost. Someone helped him drive, and he could still handle affairs in the car. At present, only Rolls-Royce can do it. Other cars are too expensive. The bumps make it inconvenient to do things in the car.”

"That's right, Chen Shi's academic performance is against the sky, and he still has to write a book, and he still has such a big company to manage. We are fighting for every minute and every second, but we are wasting time sleeping in class, ashamed!"

"Speaking of Master Chen Shi's grades, I've heard that this semester is more perverted than last semester, which has widened the gap between No.2 and No. [-]."

Last semester, Chen Shi's grades were really abnormal. He scored full marks in many subjects, and his grade point reached 4.91, which is equivalent to 99 points in each subject.

The No. 2 student in the college has a grade point of 4.43, which means the average score is about 94. Although the difference is only a few points, the No. 2 student feels that it is too difficult to achieve. The points deducted by Chen Shi may be a little small. flaw.

He can score 99 points, 9999 points, which has reached the extreme. That's because the test score is only 2. If there are countless questions, [-] points, maybe Chen Shi can still get [-] points, while No.[-] feels like only I can get eight or nine thousand points in the test.

The results of the CET-705 test have also come out. The abnormal score is 3, and the 0.4 points are actually 0.5 or 710 points on the paper, which is probably deducted from the composition score.If he met a boss who was not strict in evaluating composition scores, maybe Chen Shi's grade [-] score would be a terrifying full score of [-].

This morning, after Chen Shi finished his class, he left the classroom with his books in hand. The students who passed by all knew the super celebrities in the school, and they all took the initiative to say hello to him cheerfully.

Yuran also had a lot of things to do, so Chen Shi left after finishing his own affairs.When they came to the side of the road outside the teaching building, the bodyguards had already parked the Rolls-Royce. When they saw Chen Shi, they immediately took his car and opened the door for the boss to get in.

"Go home first, and go to the company in the afternoon." After Chen Shi got into the car, he leaned on the seat and read the company report. This was organized for him by his secretary and placed in the car according to his request.

"Okay, boss. Uncle Fang has already prepared lunch. Is there anything you want to eat today?" Cai Quan, the bodyguard, looked back at the boss. Li Anmin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was driving. Every second is precious.

These bodyguards calculated an account, the boss spent about 60 hours writing Harry English, but the income may not be less than 6 million yuan, the profit per hour is 1000 million, and 1 per minute.

Therefore, they are more demanding on themselves, delaying the boss to do things for 1 minute, that is a loss of 10,000+, which is enough for their salary for a year.

Their wages remained the same, but during the Chinese New Year, the boss gave each of them a red envelope of 10 yuan.At least the benefits, together with the boss, is nothing to say, the real value is more than 20 a year.

They are very satisfied with such a generous boss.

When the boss is doing something, these bodyguards keep their spirits high.Only when the boss is having fun, can everyone relax and have fun together.

The Rolls-Royce drove steadily into the villa complex. When the security guard saw the most iconic car in the villa complex, he only glanced at it, quickly opened the telescopic door, and then saluted and let the car pass.

The security guards here can remember every resident's car and the face of the head of the household.

Chen Shi waited at home for a while, Yu Ran also drove back, had lunch together, the nanny poured them a cup of after-dinner tea, and they rested for a while.

Enough rest, Chen Shi is going to the company for a meeting.

In the first meeting of this year, there is a lot of work to be arranged for the group, which is related to the development of the group in the coming year.
