On November 1st, Zhang Fan’s fans around the world are basically buying "Harry Potter" on this day.
There are also different versions for different groups of people. There is a classic illustration version, an ordinary text version, and a children's version with pinyin annotations that is very suitable for children.
Different versions have different prices, and for die-hard fans, most of them buy the classic illustrated version, because this version is more worthy of collection.
Of course, for some friends who do not have sufficient funds, the ordinary text version is also a better choice.
After all, they all have the same content. The classic illustration version sells for 288 yuan in China, while the ordinary text version only sells for 38 yuan.
In terms of current consumption power, 38 yuan is not a lot of money for anyone. So even if many people don’t like reading, they are curious to buy a book and go back to read it. Even if it is just to show off in the circle of friends, it is worth it.
Sales are constantly increasing, and the owners of major bookstores are smiling. In addition to physical bookstores, e-commerce platforms are also on sale. The e-commerce platforms start sales in advance and can be delivered to your home today.
When it comes to publishers, Longteng Publishers takes the initiative, and the current price offered by major bookstore owners is 30% off.
And you have to pay first and then get the goods, but even so, the bosses are very happy. After all, Zhang Fan's books are gold-lettered, including Zhang Fan's martial arts novels, even if there is a promotion, they will only be discounted at most 20%.
Now that the new book has just been launched, naturally there is no discount at all. Taking 30% of the price, this profit point is already quite considerable.
The remaining 70% belongs to Longteng Publishing House. Although the publishing house is Zhang Fan's property, the publishing house still has to give Zhang Fan a share.
The company has its own set of procedures, but in order to reasonably pay less taxes, the royalties Zhang Fan received were not large. The full copyright of "Harry Potter" was sold to Longteng Publishing House, and Zhang Fan only needed 10 million yuan.
This price is very low, but it is legal. Zhang Fan’s previous novels were also not very expensive.
This is the so-called legal tax avoidance, and no one can find fault with it. Longteng Publishing House is owned by Zhang Fan and is 100% controlled.
At present, Longteng Publishing House's profits are quite high. It not only publishes Zhang Fan's novels, but also publishes other novels. However, most of the profits are generated by Zhang Fan's novels.
Early in the morning on October 2, various data were compiled. The data for Asia was 24-hour data, while the data for Europe and the United States was 12 hours.
However, generally no one buys books at night, so this data is also the first-day sales data in the world.
The data is very detailed, including how many copies of each edition were sold. What is the sales amount, how much money Longteng Publishing House received, and what is the net profit.
This data is easy to summarize, and in today's Internet age, this data can be summarized very quickly.
As various data came back, the person in charge of Longteng Publishing House had a happy face. Judging from the current data, every country's data has broken Zhang Fan's record.
There is no doubt about the quality of this book. Within a day, word of mouth has begun to spread. Therefore, in many countries, sales peak in the evening.
"The data is out..."
At nine o'clock, all the data were summarized. When the total data was summarized, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Breaking the record, this really broke the record. Not only did it break Zhang Fan's record, it also broke the world record.
On the first day of sales, 123,652,136 copies were sold worldwide. This is a terrifying figure, 123.65 million copies.
This data is so outrageous. You must know that Longteng Publishing House’s statistics are based on volumes. Each volume is one.
For example, the classic illustrated edition has a set of twelve books. However, when counting, only one volume can be counted. If viewed separately, the data will be even more scary.
Even so, this data has broken the global record. No other novel writer in the world has such a record.
The biggest contributor to such a violent record is the Asian market. In particular, the two markets of China and Japan have contributed the most.
The Chinese market alone contributed 52 million copies yesterday, which is an extremely terrifying amount.
But if you think about it, you can understand that China has too many people. And Zhang Fan’s fan base is even more terrifying.
Zhang Fan’s fans include all ages. Old people like Zhang Fan’s Farewell My Concubine, and middle-aged people like Zhang Fan’s movies and martial arts novels.
Not to mention young people, they worship Zhang Fan to a fanatical level. Children also have many fans of Zhang Fan.
After all, children like the animations planned by Zhang Fan very much. Coupled with the publicity from countless celebrities, the sales in China this time are almost all-round.
The huge fan capacity exploded with terrifying consumption potential. Therefore, 52 million copies were sold in China on the first day, not counting Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Although Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have a small population, the sales volume is also very good, and it also contributed to the sales volume of 8 million copies on the first day.
In other words, China as a whole contributed 60 million sales on the first day, accounting for half of global sales.
However, this does not mean that all 60 million copies have been sold. You must know that dealers have stocked up a lot of goods, and these goods are also included in the first-day sales volume.
But even so, this is still a terrifying sales volume. Dealers who stock up on goods must be confident in selling them, otherwise who would be stupid enough to stock up on so many goods.
Compared with China, the purchasing power of the Japanese market is also shocking. In Japan as a whole, the sales volume on the first day reached 22 million copies.
You must know that the entire population of Japan is only 120 million. Now with such sales, almost one out of six people buys it.
This shows Zhang Fan's influence in Japan. And among the more than 20 million copies, more than % are exquisitely illustrated versions.
After all, it is a developed country, and the purchasing power of the Japanese is still stronger than that of the Chinese. A set of beautiful illustrations of the Japanese version costs 328 yuan when converted into RMB.
But compared to wages in Japan, this amount of money is nothing. It’s not even a day’s salary.
Although the incredible first-day results were an advance of future sales potential, this result is still a figure that no one can surpass.
There is no way, in this world, no matter how great a writer is, there is no way to compare with Zhang Fan's influence.
On the first day, 120 million copies were sold, with sales reaching 24.3 billion yuan.
After excluding taxes and shares, the net profit on the first day alone was as high as more than 14 billion yuan.
Seeing this data, everyone took a breath. This is simply a money grab. No one thought that the income of a best-selling book would be so high. Although Zhang Fan's martial arts novels are popular, they have never been so popular.
