In the Chinese version of "Zero Zero One", "Harry Potter" has been updated for more than two years. In fact, the second volume has been updated, and the third volume has started to be updated.
The English version is a little slower, but the first volume is almost the same.
Therefore, the release of a single volume of "Harry Potter" this time will not have much impact on those readers of "Zero and One", unless some people want to buy a copy as a souvenir, and they have read all the stories in it.
But for non-English speaking people and people who don’t usually read magazines, they have been waiting for this day for a long time.
There are some people who have always heard that "Harry Potter" is very interesting, but they are not willing to wait for updates issue after issue, and they are not in the habit of reading magazines, so they have never read this book.
Readers in non-English speaking areas are even worse. They want to read it, but the key is that they can’t, unless they learn Chinese or English. But even if they are willing to learn a language for this book, they may not be able to read it.
Before they could learn it well, the translation came out.
No, after they have been clamoring for it, the first part of "Harry Potter" is finally out.
Due to sufficient preparation time, "Harry Potter" is also Zhang Zhong's work with the most simultaneous language versions released worldwide. This time, a total of 52 language versions were released simultaneously.
That is to say, a writer of Zhang Zhong's level dares to do this. Some of the languages for sale this time have only a little over 10 million users.
Only 10 million people speak this language, and among these 10 million people, how many are literate and how many can read? After all, there may not be many left.
It's basically impossible to get high sales in a place like this. Selling tens of thousands of copies is already very scary.
Therefore, the release of so many languages is not just for sales, but also for Zhang Zhong’s influence to penetrate all over the world.
However, the simultaneous release of so many languages has an impact on sales. "Harry Potter" finally lived up to expectations and set a new record for Zhang Zhong, with sales of 33 million copies on the first day, breaking the previous "Sophie's"
"The World" set a first-day sales record of 31 million copies, becoming a new world record.
At the same time, these 33 million copies also added fuel to another new record of Zhang Zhong. The single-day sales of all Zhang Zhong’s books reached 667 million, breaking his previous record of 64 million.
this record.
This record was broken partly because of the help of "Harry Potter", but also because "Clockwork Girl" was released not long ago and the lingering warmth is still there.
Previously, the main reason why Zhang Zhong was able to sell 64 million books a day was because of the bundled sales of volumes one and two of "The Three-Body Problem". At that time, because of the bundled sales, the sales of "The Three-Body Problem 1" also reached 1,700
Ten thousand copies, and during that time Zhang Zhong published books relatively quickly, and many books were published within a short period of time, so sales did not drop too much.
However, now compared with then, Zhang Zhong has more books under his name, and with the addition of movies, the overall sales growth is expected.
As for the other record - the total sales volume of his personal works, there is no need to mention it, because this record originally belonged to Zhang Zhong. As long as no one exceeds this record for a day, then every time Zhang Zhong sells one more book, it will be equivalent to refreshing the record.
.
According to statistics, Zhang Zhong's total sales volume has exceeded 2 billion, and it may not be long before it will reach twice that of the second place.
Currently, Linde's total book sales are 1.32 billion. As long as Zhang Zhong's sales reach 2.64 billion, a trap can be completed for Linde.
As for Zhang Zhong's book sales reaching 2.64 billion, no one doubts this.
Even if Zhang Zhong closes the book now, the sales of the books he wrote before will still reach this figure. This year, Zhang Zhong's publishing speed has obviously slowed down a lot, but the growth rate of his total book sales has not slowed down at all.
.
Not only because there are more and more books, but also because Zhang Zhong’s works have begun to become film and television in the past two years. Almost every film and television work is released, and the sales of the corresponding works will skyrocket.
…
"Dean, do you have time?"
As soon as Zhang Zhong took Pengpeng home, he received a call from Vice Dean Wen Han.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Zhong covered the phone and said to Pengpeng, "Go back to your room first."
Pengpeng saw her father talking on the phone, nodded silently, and then went to the room.
"People from the Wells Group in the United States just had a phone call with me and said they are interested in sponsoring our college," Wen Han said.
"Wells Group? What's the origin?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"The Wells Group started as a toy dealer, and later got involved in the cable, car auction and newspaper industries. It is one of the top twenty private companies in the United States." Wen Han briefly introduced the Wells Group to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong had no impression of this company. He thought for a while and asked, "Did you tell me why you want to sponsor our college?"
"I didn't say anything specific. I made an appointment with the other party to meet this weekend, in the college."
Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there on the weekend to see what the other party means."
"Well, okay."
After hanging up Wen Han's call, Zhang Zhong checked the information about Wells Group online.
After looking around, I didn't find anything special, nor did I find any connection between the other party and myself or Shizhong College.
But when he was about to close the web page, a name came into his sight - Literary Newspaper.
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Literary News" was actually a property of Wells Group.
He suddenly remembered what Yang Xiao said before. Yang Xiao said that "Literary News" was his family's property. So, the Wells Group belonged to Yang Xiao's family?
In this way, the connection came out. It seems that the Wells Group's sponsorship of Shizhong College must be because of Yang Xiao.
When this guy visited the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall before, he asked Zhang Zhong whether the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall would accept sponsorship. At that time, Zhang Zhong told him that the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall was a private property and would not accept sponsorship. Unexpectedly, he found another way and actually wanted to sponsor.
High school.
Zhang Zhong also couldn't understand why this guy had to send money out. In fact, Shizhong College is not short of funds now. After all, it had a wave of large sponsorships from the Reed Group. Now, although the college is small, it has all the necessary organs.
There are only so many people in the college now, and the existing facilities and buildings are completely sufficient.
However, Zhang Zhong would not refuse the sponsorship directly. He decided to talk to the other party first and see the specific situation before making a decision.
