The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 440, Strange tune, who can compare this?

   Three in the afternoon.

   Zhang Xuan, who was talking to Qiu Boren and Chen Min and his wife, suddenly received a call from Tao Ge.

   Tao Ge asked: "Sister has returned to Yangcheng, where are you?"

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the sky outside, "I'm at the mall, when did you come to Yangcheng?"

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

After   , Tao Ge hung up the phone before he could reply.

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

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

   The two of them had just come from the school in the van, and they shouted across the distance, "Brother Xuan, are you going back to school, do you want me to take you?"

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

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

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the lady boss of Baise next to him. He knew exactly why he wanted to buy a house, so he asked, "How much money is there? Would you like to share it with me first?"

  Wan Jun said happily: "No, no, it's only ten thousand dollars away, and it will be completed soon. I want to rely entirely on my own labor for the first house, so that I can have a sense of accomplishment."

   Hearing this, Zhang Xuan didn't force it, he stood on the side of the road and chatted with the two of them without restraint.

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

   Seeing Tao Ge in the car, Wan Jun led the lady boss of Baise with great insight.

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the back of the lady boss of Baise, shook his head secretly, never understood what was good about the lady boss?

   It is necessary to have a figure without a figure, and to have a look that is not yet good-looking.

   And she was married, so why did Wan Jun get involved with her?

   What a strange combination.

  Tao Ge looked at the proprietress's **** in the car and asked, "This woman's **** is not round, not up, nor fat, why are you looking at her butt?"

   Zhang Xuan laughed: "Please, can you speak beyond your head?"

  Tao Ge took another look at the departed lady boss Baise, thoughtfully: "Yes, you don't even want to touch Rowling, it shouldn't catch your eyes."

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

   Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and briefly explained the matter.

   After listening, Tao Ge's eyes swept over him, and when he started the car, he said, "You're still a man with three women, you can't figure out such a trivial matter?"

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

   Tao Ge's analysis: "No less than three reasons. One is that after Wan Jun was rejected by the girl Liu Lin, his self-confidence was hit and he needed a woman to comfort him.

  The second is that your dormitories are all in pairs, which stimulated him.

  The third is that it may also have a lot to do with the scars and broken fingers on his face, and he has a tendency to abuse himself.

The fourth and most important reason is that the proprietress you say doesn’t look or has a figure, so she must have some skills, either because she is good at cooking, or she is very good at coaxing men, but I think it may be because of her bedtime skills. have to. "

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

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

   Zhang Xuan asked: "Because I'm a celebrity, I'm very relieved?"

   "Yes, because you're a celebrity."

  Tao Ge is unceremonious: "If you are a mediocre person, will my sister take care of you?"

   Zhang Xuan was speechless: "Would you like to be so realistic? Tell me about it."

Tao Ge smiled and said: "People gather together by like, and things are divided by groups. If you are an ordinary person, then we are at most ordinary friends, and now you are the person that my sister needs to look up to, so I am very willing to give you my heart and my lungs. ."

   Zhang Xuan glanced at her thigh, wearing casual trousers instead of black silk.

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

   Zhang Xuan said: "I didn't see anything, just look at your legs."

   Tao Ge asked: "Sister didn't wear black silk, did it disappoint you?"

  Zhang Xuan lowered the seat, half-lying with Erlang's legs raised: "If you wear black silk, I will be really disappointed."

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

   Zhang Xuan closed his eyes: "What?"

   Tao Ge asked, "Sister and Lilith, which condition is better."

   Zhang Xuan asked back, "What is your purpose in asking this question?"

  Tao Ge said: "Sister is just curious. Although you often look at my black silk, you obviously don't have that kind of thought for me."

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

  Tao Ge looked ahead and turned the steering wheel: "If you have thoughts about me, I won't take you to my house in the capital. Sister has lived for so many years, so 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 animals with lower body thinking."

   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'm curious about, although my sister's appearance is not comparable to Mi Jian next to you, it is also not comparable to Wen Hui.

   But Lilith is still stronger, but every time you look at me, your eyes are very clear, why did you get into Lilith's bed? "

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

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

   Zhang Xuan joked: "The book says that curiosity is the beginning of the heart, be careful to like me."

  Tao Ge thought about it seriously: "If you were 7 or 8 years older, my sister would really think about it. But you are too young, I don't think I can feel good about you."

   Zhang Xuan opened his eyes: "Do you like the new year?"

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

   Zhang Xuan was happy: "Then you're too old, so hurry up."

  Tao Ge didn't care, "Don't think about it, let's talk about it, what happened to you and Lilith? Logically, with so many women around you, why can't it be Lilith's turn?"

   Zhang Xuan asked: "In your eyes, Lilith is in poor condition?"

  Tao Ge said truthfully: "In all fairness, it's not bad, especially the figure is very good, the temperament is also strong, and she is a very 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, and said half-truth, "I said I had a dream, in which I owed Lilith a lifetime of love, do you believe it?"

  Tao Ge frowned and thought for a while: "Although I think it's absurd, I also think it makes sense.

  Maybe this is the inexplicable feeling in the mouth of others? See the right eye? "

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

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

   Zhang Xuan said: "How to say, that feeling cannot be described in words.

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

   But if the number is limited to 3, Lilith is my third choice. "

   Tao Ge understood a little, and asked jokingly, "What if God only asked you to choose one?

  Who to choose? Mi Jian or Du Shuangling? "

   Faced with this problem, Zhang Xuan doesn't have to think about it: "Have both, and one less means life to me is meaningless."

  Tao Ge laughed: "Oh, sister suddenly feels that life is fun, I'll wait to see how you end up in the future."

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

  Tao Ge said: "Sister, what kind of weird thing have you seen? It's just that you are different.

   It can be seen from your eyes that you are sincere towards Mi Jian and Du Shuangling. Although they are scumbags, 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 who are 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 devote all my heart and lungs."

  Tao Ge laughed: "If I were your mother, I would kill you. After working hard for decades, in the end, it is the same as two girls who have known each other for a few years."

  The old **** Zhang Xuan said in the tunnel: "You don't understand some love, so you are still single now."

   Hearing "Single", Tao Ge obviously stopped talking about this topic and started talking about business:

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

   last month sold 3.55 million copies in Europe.

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

   And once again think of the horror data of the later "Harry Potter" series cumulative sales of more than 500 million copies.

   Zhang Xuan pondered: "Is there a total of 4 million copies in the world?"

   Tao Ge said: "Guess again."

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

   Tao Ge spit out a word: "More!"

   Zhang Xuan thought for a while, and said again: "Is there any 4.5 million?"

  Tao Ge smiled and did not speak.

   Zhang Xuan squinted: "5 million?"

  Tao Ge still didn't speak.

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

  Tao Ge is no longer selling off this time: "6.01 million. It just broke through 6 million and reached 6.01 million."

   Zhang Xuan was restless and exclaimed, "Selling so well?"

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

   But the reports in the newspapers are like this, and the list data given by the publishing house is also so much. "

   Having said this, Tao Ge recalled: "You know what, when we got this exact news yesterday morning, I was crazy with joy.

  Xie Qi went crazy!

  Rowling cried, cried!

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

   Talking, Tao Ge parked the car directly on the side of the road, turned his head and said seriously: "Sister congratulations, you are now a veritable world-renowned writer."

   Hearing this string of data, Zhang Xuan is a little confused now.

  No, not a little embarrassed!

   is very confused!

   It's not unexpected that he sold so many in his mother's 20 days.

   Even if I knew that 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 I improved the depth and breadth of the story of "Harry Potter" and increased the readability, it led to a big sale in advance?

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

   Only this reason makes sense.

   is only 6.01 million!

  6.01 million!

   Earns himself £1.72 after tax per book.

  600 is £1032.

The exchange rate of    converted into RMB is 12, so how much did you earn in these 20 days?

  Incoming 123 million!

  ! Zhang Xuan did the math, he was almost scared to death!

   This is faster than stealing money!

   Faster than stealing money!

  Dizzy, my head is going to be dizzy.

   For a long time, Zhang Xuan slowly calmed down when he thought of the previous Harry Potter series and the surrounding sales totaling more than 8 billion US dollars.

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

  Tao Ge explained: "There are three reasons. One is that the huge profits have prompted the publishing house to madly publicize it regardless of the cost, and madly expand its sales channels.

   The second reason is that in the past 20 days, 6 countries have introduced "Harry Potter".

   The third reason is word of mouth.

   After nearly 4 months of fermentation, Harry Potter has caused a lot of heated discussions around the world, the topic remains high, and the word of mouth is directly overwhelming.

  Spontaneous word of mouth from consumers is quite common, which is why Harry Potter has exploded again and again. "

   Zhang Xuan felt reasonable and asked: "When will our country introduce "Harry Potter"?"

   Tao Ge said with a smile: "People's Literature is already under negotiation, and it will land in my country in three months at the latest."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "It takes so long, is it because of translation?"

   Tao Ge said: "Because Western magic books are relatively rare in China, the People's Literature Association will put more effort into translation.

   By the way, you are also the original author. Mr. Hong asked me to tell you something. At that time, I may ask you for some advice, and I will pay you according to the rules. "

   Publishing means having money to enter, Zhang Xuan did not delay: "It should be, it is my duty, just let me know when the time comes.

   As for the reward, it doesn't matter if you give it or not, you can just provide me with three meals. "

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

   Don't look at sister's face, you should take it, you can't lose a point. "

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

After   , he cared about the Clockwork Girl and asked, "When will my "Clockwork Girl" be published? Is the date set?"

   Tao Ge said: "The day is set, and it will be officially released on July 20.

   Based on your current reputation and the high quality of "Clockwork Girl", Penguin Publishing will give you enough face. This time they decided to strike while the iron is hot and choose a global release based on the east wind of "Harry Potter".

   Landed in some countries in Europe, America, Asia and Africa at the same time. "

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

  Tao Ge stretched out his hands: "41 countries and regions released at the same time."

   Zhang Xuan's eyes widened, and he really wanted to say a damn!

  Penguin Press is worthy of being the largest publishing house in the English-speaking world!

   is indeed one of the top ten media in the world.

   This distribution channel! This influence! It's not **** covered!

   Too scary!
