I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 410 I Got The Encouragement Money
"Ding dong..."

Today is the second day after the release of "Shadow Empire",

As a matter of course, before noon, Ji Zhuo was woken up by various notifications from his mobile phone.

Wrapped in the quilt, he tossed and turned back and forth on the bed for a while, but Ji Zhuo still grabbed his phone and got up.

"Carol: Mr. A, have you seen the news?

Carol: Yesterday, the total sales volume of the language versions of "Shadow Empire" exceeded 500 million copies on the first day!
carol: To be precise, 530 million copies were sold! "

The phone screen turned on again, and the first thing I saw was a message from Carol.

Seeing Carol's news, Ji Zhuo is probably a little happy, but not very excited.
At least there is no excitement that Carol can see across the screen.

"Ah~ha..."

Ji Zhuo yawned, got up and went to the sink,

Still a little dazed from waking up, he stared at the mirror of the washstand in a daze for a while.

On the mobile phone, Carol's messages have not stopped, one after another,

"Carol: About 400 million copies were mainly sold online, including the pre-sales of the previous week.

carol: The remaining one million copies were sold through offline channels in various countries.

Carol: Among the total sales volume, the Chinese version sold the most, with a total of more than two million copies sold, followed by the English version, which sold more than one million copies.

Carol: Mr. A, "Empire of Shadows" has begun to move towards his throne, and I believe that in the future, we will achieve even greater achievements!

Carol: And the great work "Shadow Empire" is worthy of any remarkable achievements!Thank you Mr. A for bringing such a work to readers! "

Picking up the phone again, seeing Carol's excited and even fanatical words, Ji Zhuo paused,
"Clumsy and Uncommon: Thanks also to Burt Publishing for their efforts.

Clumsy and uncommon: But the sales volume in a single day in the next period of time should not be so high. "

After all, the sales on the first day include pre-sales. Most readers who are eager to read ABC's new book will definitely buy it yesterday if they can buy it.

Sales in the next single day will definitely drop a lot.

"carol: Well, except for the sales of the pre-sale part, compared with the sales on the first day, the sales in the next single day should drop a bit.

Carol: However, judging from the enthusiasm of readers and the excellent reputation of Mr. A's work "Shadow Empire", it will not drop much.

Carol: Burt Publishing House will continue to make efforts to achieve better results for Mr. A's works.

Carol: In addition, Burt Publishing needs to apologize to you.

Carol: Due to financial and other problems, only 300 million copies of your work were stocked before the official release, which greatly affected the first-day sales of your work.

Carol: Even so far, many "Shadow Empire" sold online are still out of stock.

carol: Your work "Shadow Empire" should have achieved a more brilliant first-day result.

Clumsy and extraordinary: nothing.No need to apologize to me. "

Ji Zhuo didn't feel much about it, and Carol or Bert Publishing House had already stocked up enough,
It's just that readers are always more enthusiastic than expected.

Now Ji Zhuo can only be thankful that he did not use the new book under the name of ABC as the work for the current task of the system.

Otherwise, the goal of the system will be over on the first day.

"Carol: It is time to apologize to Mr. A. This is the responsibility of the publisher.

Carol: We are already in contact with the printing factory to continue to speed up printing and try our best to supply various channels.Make up for the current shortage of various channels.

Clumsy and Uncommon: Hmm... Carol is the editor-in-chief, thank you for your hard work. "

Ji Zhuo didn't continue to be polite, because he was really afraid that Carol, who is an avid reader of ABC, would have to continue to struggle with the question of whether to apologize.

So ended the exchange with Carol, editor-in-chief,
Ji Zhuo looked at the chat records with Carol, the editor-in-chief, and sighed.

Not because of the chat with Carol,

It's purely because "Shadow Empire" is so popular, but it still doesn't suppress "Ordinary and Great",

It didn't even stop the growth trend of "The Ordinary and the Great" single-day sales.

Ji Zhuo scrolled down on Penguin Chat, and saw the message from Editor-in-Chief Al.

"al: Mr. I, yesterday's sales have been counted.

al: The single-day sales growth is not bad. Yesterday's sales reached more than [-] copies.

al: I believe that in the next period of time, the single-day sales will continue to soar. "

Al's news was less exciting than Carol's,
It didn't even mention "Shadow Empire", a big opponent that "The Ordinary and the Great" might encounter yesterday,
Just like usual, talking about the single-day sales increase of "The Ordinary and the Great".

But this made Ji Zhuo uncomfortable enough,

There is an inexplicable sense of frustration,

"Hey……"

Ji Zhuo sighed again, then pointed his hands weakly, and replied a message.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Well, I see."

the other side,
Regarding Mr. I's calm reply,
Al just felt that it was all within Mr. I's expectation,
Mr. I has enough confidence in his works, so isn't the increase in daily sales a matter of course?

Um!I should also have more confidence in "Ordinary and Great".

There is nothing invincible about such a work.

With firm eyes, Al sent another message to Mr. I,
"al: Al Press previously printed 30 copies in advance and the stock is almost sold out, but don't worry, Mr. I, Al Press has notified the printing house to continue printing.

al: The sale of "The Ordinary and the Great" will not be delayed.

al: In addition, Mr. I, the popularity of your works is still increasing on the Internet. I believe that tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the sales volume in a single day will exceed [-] copies. "

Ji Zhuo looked at the message from Al again, the corners of his mouth twitched twice,
Seeing this news, I really don't want to reply.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Well, thanks to Ayer Press and Ayer Editor-in-Chief.

al: It is my honor and the honor of Al Press to work hard for this great work to shine! "

Al, who was not excited before, became excited under the thanks of "I".

Ji Zhuo really didn't want to chat anymore, so he replied vaguely and ended the chat.

"Hey……"

"Ding dong..."

While sighing, the phone thought again.

It's a text message from the bank.

The bank card shows that the account has reached 3000 million,

"The Ordinary and the Great" has been released for a full month.
The incentive money of the system is always issued in a timely manner.

It's just that this month is over, what about the next month?
Just watching the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" go wild?

Ji Zhuo looked at the phone screen, lost in thought.

……

And this time on the other side.

Delwin Press, editor Lou sitting in his office,

There are two books on the table in front of him, "Shadow Empire" and "Ordinary and Great".

Holding an English version of the soon-to-be-published "Star Dream" in his hand, he was also thinking about it.

"Star Dream" will be published overseas in two days.

Needless to say, "Shadow Empire", ABC is Mr. Ji's old rival.

And the book "The Ordinary and the Great" has become quite popular recently...

Is Delwin Publishing going to do something?
Just looking at Mr. Ji's work has another opponent? ...Although there is a high probability that readers will buy "The Ordinary and the Great",
I will still buy "Star Dream", just like the works of ABC and the works of the dog author.

But we should find a way to seize the popularity of Mr. Ji's works, and we still have to do it!
Editor-in-Chief Lou turned his gaze, and then looked at the Internet. His eyes were firm on the relevant news at the moment.
