Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

3pm.

Zhang Xuan, who was talking business with Qiu Boren and Chen Min, suddenly received a call from Tao Ge.

Tao Ge asked, "Sister, I've returned to Yangcheng. Where are you?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at the sky outside and said, "I'm here in the mall. When did you come to Yangcheng?"

Tao Ge said: "At noon, you wait there and I will drive to pick you up."

After speaking, Tao Ge hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.

Zhang Xuan looked at the black Nokia for a few seconds, put the phone away, said hello to Chen Min's design team, and went to the roadside to wait.

In the middle, I met Wan Jun and the proprietress of Baise.

These two people had just driven over from the school in a van, and shouted from thousands of miles away: "Brother Xuan, are you going back to school? Do you want me to take you off?"

Zhang Xuan walked over and said, "No, someone will pick me up later. Didn't you just finish class? Why don't you take a break today?"

Wan Jun took out two cigarettes, lit one for Zhang Xuan and said, "It's not just to make a little more money, but now I want to save some money to buy a house, so I'll come here as soon as I have time."

Zhang Xuan glanced at the Baise landlady next to him and knew exactly why he wanted to buy a house. He asked casually: "How much money is left? Do you want to pay it off from me first?"

Wan Jun said happily: "No, no, it's just a few thousand yuan difference. It will be done quickly. I want to rely entirely on the fruits of my own labor for my first house, so that I can have a sense of accomplishment."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan did not force himself and stood on the roadside and chatted with the two of them casually.

Not long after, a Mercedes-Benz came from the road on the right and stopped in front of the three people.

Seeing Tao Ge in the car, Wan Jun was very discerning and took the Baise landlady away.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the back of the Baise landlady and shook his head secretly. He never understood what was so good about this landlady?

I want to be in shape but not in shape, I want to have good looks but not good looks.

And she is a married woman, so why would Wan Jun get involved with her?

What a strange pairing.

Tao Ge looked at the boss's wife's butt in the car and asked, "This woman's butt is not round, not curvy, and not fat. Why are you looking at her butt?"

Zhang Xuan laughed at this: "Please, can you talk over your head?"

Tao Ge glanced at the leaving Baise landlady again and said thoughtfully, "That's right, you don't even want to touch Luo Lin. You shouldn't be able to catch this kind of thing."

Then she asked seriously: "Then why are you staring at other people's butts?"

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and explained the matter briefly.

After listening, Tao Ge glanced at him, then started the car and said, "You're still a man with three women. You can't figure out this little thing?"

Zhang Xuan looked at her and said, "Tell me what you think."

Tao Ge analyzed: "There are no less than three reasons. One is that after Wan Jun was rejected by a girl named Liu Lin, his self-confidence was hit and he needed a woman to comfort him.

Second, you were in pairs in the dormitory, which irritated him.

Third, it may have a lot to do with the scars on his face and the severed fingers. He has a tendency to commit suicide.

The fourth and most important reason is that if the boss lady you mentioned doesn’t have looks or figure, she must have a skill, either she is a considerate and considerate cook, or she is good at coaxing men, but I think she may be good at bed. have to. "

Zhang Xuan looked strange: "Do you really have no scruples in front of me?"

Tao Ge sighed and said very frankly: "I don't have many true friends. I don't want to live with a mask all the time. It's so tiring. I think it's good to be unscrupulous. It relieves stress."

Zhang Xuan asked: "Because I am a celebrity, so it relieves stress?"

"Yeah, because you're a celebrity."

Tao Ge was unceremonious: "If you were a mediocre person, would my sister be willing to share my heart and soul with you?"

Zhang Xuan was speechless: "If you want to be so realistic, tell me."

Tao Ge smiled and said: "People of the same kind flock together, and things are divided into groups. If you are an ordinary person, then we are ordinary friends at most, but now you are the person that even my sister needs to look up to, so I am very willing to share my heart with you." .”

Zhang Xuan glanced at her thighs. She was wearing casual trousers instead of black stockings.

Feeling his gaze, Tao Ge asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Xuan said: "I'm not looking at anything, just look at your legs."

Tao Ge asked: "My sister didn't wear black stockings. Did it disappoint you?"

Zhang Xuan lowered his seat and crossed his legs while lying down: "I will be really disappointed if you wear black stockings."

Tao Ge glanced at him sideways, "Actually, sister has always been curious and wanted to ask you."

Zhang Xuan closed his eyes: "What?"

Tao Ge asked: "Comparing sister or Lilith, which one has better conditions?"

Zhang Xuan asked, "What is the purpose of asking this question?"

Tao Ge said: "Sister, I'm just curious. Although you often look at my black stockings, you obviously don't have that idea about me."

Zhang Xuan half-closed an eye: "How do you know I have no idea about you?"

Tao Ge looked forward and turned the steering wheel: "If you had thoughts about me, I would not take you to my house in the capital. I have lived for so many years, and I still have this confidence."

Zhang Xuan closed half of his eyes: "Hey, it's best not to trust men too much. Men are often thinking animals with their lower body."

Tao Ge asked: "So the union between you and Lilith was caused by the lower body?"

Zhang Xuan nodded and shook his head: "Not exactly."

Tao Ge asked: "So this is what I am curious about. Although my appearance is not comparable to Mi Jian next to you, it is also not comparable to Wen Hui.

But it's still better than Lilith, but your eyes are clear every time you look at me. Why did you end up in Lilith's bed? "

Zhang Xuan was speechless: "Why are you so curious?"

Tao Ge replied: "Because my sister has lived a privileged life since she was a child and has broad knowledge, there are not many things that make me curious."

Zhang Xuan joked: "Books say curiosity is the beginning of heartbeat, so be careful if you fall in love with me."

Tao Ge thought about it seriously: "If you were 7 or 8 years older, I would really consider it. But you are too young. I don't even have feelings for you..."

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes: "Do you like Nian Shang?"

Tao Ge nodded: "I like people older than me."

Zhang Xuan was delighted: "Then you are in trouble at your age, so you have to hurry up."

Tao Ge didn't take it seriously, "Don't think about it. Let's talk about it. What's going on between you and Lilith? Logically speaking, there are so many women around you, why can't Lilith get her turn?"

Zhang Xuan asked back: "In your eyes, Lilith's condition is very poor?"

Tao Ge said truthfully: "To be fair, she's pretty good, especially her figure is very good, her temperament is great, she's a good girl.

But people are afraid of comparison. After I met Mi Jian and Wen Hui, I felt that you should not attack Lilith. "

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, then spoke half truthfully: "I said I had a dream, in which I owed Lilith a lifetime of love. Do you believe it?"

Tao Ge twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time: "Although I think it's ridiculous, I also think it makes sense.

Maybe this is the inexplicable feeling that others say? Are you right? "

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Well, Lilith is very special to me."

Tao Ge looked sideways at him: "How special is it?"

Zhang Xuan said: "How should I put it, that feeling cannot be described in words.

For example: If God tells me one day, I can choose any woman in the world.

But if the number is limited to 3, Lilith would be the third one I would choose. "

Tao Ge understood a little bit and asked jokingly: "What if God only lets you choose one?

Who to choose? Mi Jian or Du Shuangling? "

Faced with this problem, Zhang Xuan didn't even have to think about it: "I want both. If one is missing, my life will be meaningless to me."

Tao Ge laughed when he heard this: "Hey, sister suddenly feels that life is fun. I'm waiting to see how you end up in the future."

Zhang Xuan glanced at her: "Don't tell me that you have little knowledge. Have you never seen such a thing?"

Tao Ge said: "Sister, what's weird that I haven't seen before? It's just that you are different.

It can be seen from your eyes that you are sincere towards both Mi Jian and Du Shuangling. Although you are a scumbag, I still admire you for this. "

Zhang Xuan looked outside and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. The two of them, plus my mother, are women more important than my life."

Tao Ge asked: "Aren't your two sisters?"

Zhang Xuan said: "Some of them are in pain, and they don't need me to dig out my heart and lungs."

Tao Ge laughed: "If I were your mother, I would definitely beat you to death. I have worked hard to raise you for decades, and in the end you will have the same status as two girls I have known for several years."

Zhang Xuan said sincerely: "There are some loves that you don't understand, so you are still single now."

After hearing "single work", Tao Ge obviously stopped talking about this topic and turned to business:

"Guess how many copies of "Harry Potter" were sold in Europe in the past 20 days?"

Last month it sold 3.55 million copies in Europe.

At the same time, 1.7 million copies were sold in more than 20 other countries in the world within half a month.

And once again think of the horrifying data of the "Harry Potter" series in later generations, with cumulative sales of more than 500 million copies.

Zhang Xuan pondered: "Are there 4 million copies in total in the world?"

Tao Ge said: "Guess again."

Zhang Xuan tilted his head and asked, "More or less?"

Tao Ge spit out one word: "Too many!"

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said again: "Do you have 4.5 million?"

Tao Ge smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes: "5 million?"

Tao Ge still didn't speak.

Zhang Xuan was stunned: "It won't be more than 6 million, right?"

Tao Ge stopped being pretentious this time: "6.01 million. Just exceeded 6 million, reaching 6.01 million."

Zhang Xuan lost his composure and exclaimed: "Sold so well?"

There was a turning road ahead, and Tao Ge slowed down: "When I first saw the data, I was also surprised, more surprised than you.

But the reports in newspapers are just like that, and the list data provided by publishers is also so large. "

At this point, Tao Ge recalled: "You know, when we got the exact news yesterday morning, I was crazy with joy.

Xie Qi went crazy!

Rowling cried, cried loudly!

This is completely beyond our imagination. Your name now often appears in major newspapers in Europe as Rowling's "teacher". I can see it every day. "

As he spoke, Tao Ge parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and said seriously: "Sister, congratulations, you are now a truly world-famous writer."

After hearing this string of data, Zhang Xuan was a little confused now.

No, I’m not a little confused!

Very confused!

It’s no longer unexpected to sell so much in just 20 days.

Even though I knew Harry Potter would explode, I never thought it would be so violent!

This is faster than the previous life! Still fierce!

Is it because of your own reasons?

Because you improved the depth and breadth of the story of "Harry Potter" and increased the readability, did it lead to early sales?

After thinking for a long time, the old man felt that this might be the reason.

Only this reason can be explained.

Just 6.01 million!

6.01 million!

Earn yourself £1.72 after tax per copy.

600 copies is £1032.

The exchange rate converted into RMB is 12. How much will you earn in these 20 days?

Earned 123 million!

Oops! Zhang Xuan did a mental calculation and was almost scared to death!

This is faster than grabbing money!

Faster than robbing money!

I'm dizzy, I'm going to feel dizzy.

For a long, long time, Zhang Xuan slowly calmed down when he thought that the Harry Potter series and its peripheral products had sold a total of more than 8 billion US dollars in his previous life.

Slowly, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, still in disbelief: "Why are they selling so hard?"

Tao Ge explained: "There are three reasons. One is that the huge profits have prompted the publishing house to promote wildly and expand sales channels regardless of costs.

The second reason is that in the past 20 days, six more countries have introduced "Harry Potter".

The third reason is word of mouth.

After nearly 4 months of fermentation, Harry Potter has aroused widespread heated discussion around the world. The topic remains high and the reputation is overwhelming.

Spontaneous word-of-mouth spread among consumers is quite common, which is why Harry Potter became a hit again and again. "

Zhang Xuan thought it was reasonable and asked: "When will our country introduce "Harry Potter"?"

Tao Ge said with a smile: "People's Literature is already in negotiation, and it will be launched in our country within three months at the latest."

Zhang Xuan asked: "Is it because of the translation that it takes so long?"

Tao Ge was right: “Since Western magic books are relatively rare in China, the People’s Literature Society will put more effort into translation.

By the way, you are also the original author. Mr. Hong asked me to tell you that I may need to ask you for advice in some places, and you will be paid according to the rules. "

Publishing means making money, so Zhang Xuan did not delay: "It should be done, it is obligatory, just let me know when the time comes.

As for the reward, it doesn’t matter whether I give it or not, as long as you provide me with three meals a day. "

Tao Ge corrected him: "Public is public, private is private, they cannot be confused.

Don't look at my sister's face when you get what you deserve. Don't lose even a penny. "

Zhang Xuan said: "Okay, if you give it to me, I will definitely take it. If you don't give it to me, I won't ask."

After saying that, he became concerned about the Clockwork Girl and asked: "When will my "Clockwork Girl" be published? Has the date been set?"

Tao Ge said: “The date has been set and it will be officially released on July 20.

Based on your current fame and the high quality of "Clockwork Girl", Penguin Press has given you enough respect. They decided to strike while the iron is hot this time and take advantage of the success of "Harry Potter" to publish it globally.

At the same time, it landed in some countries in Europe, America, Asia and Africa. "

Zhang Xuan asked excitedly: "Have you figured out how many countries there are?"

Tao Ge stretched out his hands: "41 countries and regions released it simultaneously."

Zhang Xuan's eyes widened and he really wanted to say "F*ck!"

Penguin Press is indeed the largest publishing house in the English-speaking world!

It is worthy of being one of the top ten media in the world.

This distribution channel! Such influence! Damn it’s not covered!

So scary!
