Kane sat on the sofa, listened to the mayor and deputy mayor, and began to think about it.
In fact, he felt that what the two mayors said was quite reasonable. Although pz did not say it clearly, judging from various signs, this event was obviously carried out to create a new personal single-day book sales volume.
He has no doubt that this goal can be achieved.
Celebration is imperative.
But what role do they want to play in Cupertino, and what role does he, Kane, want to play? This is the question he is thinking about while sitting on the sofa in the mayor's office at this moment.
"What do I need to do?" Kane asked directly.
He and Cameron are no longer strangers.
Small cities have their advantages. As mayor, Cameron often appears in front of the people and mingle with them.
Cameron smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kane, I just want to borrow your place for a while. Since your bookstore was expanded, it has become a place that can accommodate many people."
"Isn't it going to be held in the square? Compared to the square, my bookstore is very small." Kane said.
"Of course the square will be used, but this year we also want to add some other activities to the regular activities. And the weather in Cupertino is sometimes unstable. Remember last year? It rained heavily, so the activities were postponed.
I had to stop halfway through.”
Thinking of last year's event, Kane laughed, "Although the event was stopped, many young people did not leave at that time and were still partying in the rain, which aroused heated discussions."
"That was an unexpected surprise, but it can't be like this every time, so we need to arrange a place as an alternative."
Kane nodded, "I understand, I don't have any objections to this."
Seeing Kane agreeing so readily, Mayor Cameron laughed and said, "Thank you, Kane. The citizens of Cupertino will remember your generosity."
"When will this be scheduled?" Kane asked.
"The sooner the better, we will start notifying the arrangements soon and try to set the date as quickly as possible," Cameron said.
"So urgent?"
"Of course, we should celebrate pz first."
Kane understood what Cameron meant and nodded, "I understand. Now I will go back and prepare and ask the clerks to pack up the bookstore quickly so that you can use it at any time."
"Thank you very much."
…
Cameron and Jones were busy arranging the celebrations. Just in the middle of the night, the world's largest data website, ABA Data Network, suddenly released a piece of data.
In the twenty-four hours since the release of "Speaker of the Dead" and the collector's edition book set, the global sales of Zhang Zhong's personal books reached 146.51 million (incomplete statistics).
There is no doubt that it broke the previous record held by Zhang Zhong himself, and more than doubled it!
146.51 million books were sold in one day, which means that on average, one in fifty people bought Zhang Zhong's book on that day.
Someone calculated an account and found that there are 24 hours in a day, a total of 86,400 seconds.
Calculated, on average, Zhang Zhong sold nearly 1,700 books every second.
It takes about 0.1 seconds to blink once, which means that Zhang Zhong can sell more than a hundred books in the blink of an eye.
This is really a blink of an eye, not an exaggeration.
If people were just a little surprised when Zhang Zhong set a record of 60 million copies before, then this time of 146 million is enough to make most people look for their eyes in fear.
[Am I reading that right? One, ten, hundreds, thousands...more than a hundred million copies? 】
[Sao Nian, you read that right, within twenty-four hours, Zhang Zhong sold more than 140 million copies of his books.]
[Besides awesome, I can’t find any other adjective.]
【I also participated in this record.】
[Actually, I think if the collector’s edition wasn’t limited, this number would have been much higher, maybe 200 million?]
[Two hundred million is a bit high, but it must be much higher.]
[How many people can’t sell so many books in their lifetime, but Zhang Zhong can do it in one day.]
[In fact, there are only 98 people who have sold more than 140 million books worldwide, and this includes all writers, many of whom have passed away.]
[Haha, let alone one-day sales, Zhang Zhong’s one-hour sales today are something that many writers will never be able to achieve in their lifetime. 】
[Nonsense, more than six million copies an hour. The only writers who can sell so much are famous ones.]
[If I publish a book, it will be great if I can sell as many copies as Zhang Zhong in one minute.]
[More than one million a minute, that’s a platinum writer. I think you’re thinking shit.]
[A platinum writer becomes a platinum writer every minute, what should I say?]
[In fact, one million per minute is just an average, and the sales volume 24 hours a day must also be in a wave shape. If it is a peak, it should be able to sell several million copies in a minute. 】
[Did you see an announcement posted by the aba data website? It said that this day is a day of great importance, and people all over the world should remember this day.]
[I’ve seen it too, I think we might as well just designate this day as Zhang Chong’s day.]
【Zhang Chongri, you are so good.】
[Zhang Chongri had it before, Cupertino, have you forgotten? 】
[Of course I remember, but Cupertino’s pzday only belongs to their city. This time, the whole world should remember this day—it belongs to Zhang Zhong.]
[No matter what, no matter what, no matter what others think, anyway, for me, today is Zhang Chongri. 】
【Second proposal.】
[Support +1]
…
I don’t know since when, there have been more and more statements about Zhang Chongri on the Internet.
At first, it was just a spontaneous initiative by netizens. Later, Cupertino, a loyal fan of Zhang Zhong, jumped out and expressed his full support for designating yesterday as Zhang Zhong Day.
The mayor of Cupertino posted on his Instagram that he very much hopes that the people of Cupertino can celebrate two pzdays a year, one for their city of Cupertino and one for the whole world.
With Cupertino taking the lead, other official organizations are getting involved.
Jiangyang’s Writers Association helped support Light of Hometown and launched a vote online.
Subsequently, other local writers associations and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles responded one after another.
Of course these organizations in China are willing to help. After all, Zhang Zhong belongs to China. If this thing can really come true, not only will Zhang Zhong have a presence, but they will have a presence in the entire Chinese literary circle.
The so-called Zhang Chongri certainly did not have an authoritative world organization to set the tone, but as long as most people agree, it will be considered a success. This kind of thing is that the minority obeys the majority.
