Chapter 518: Unfortunate defeat and terrible record (two in one)(2/2)
[I doubt that what is written in the book is true, especially the Red Bank Project. China is not really engaged in these. 】
…
At 10:30 in the morning, Chen Qing called. Zhang Zhong was writing at that time, because Xu Yuhan's studio would have a calligraphy class in a while, and he had to write a few words to support her.
"Boss, I'm a little sorry that I still couldn't break the first-day sales record of "Dead Soul 8" this time," Chen Qing said.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Your voice sounds a little hoarse. It's not because you stayed up all night last night."
Chen Qing cleared her throat, "No, it's just that it's been a little cold at night recently and I wasn't prepared, so I caught a cold."
"Pay attention to your health and don't worry too much about recording. What are the specific sales data?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"The Three-Body Problem sold a total of 26 million copies within 24 hours, which is still three million copies behind "The Dead 8"."
Chen Qing said with some regret that the gap was already very small.
He read the data all night last night, and originally had the idea of paying money from the company to buy millions more copies to upload the data. He calculated that "The Three-Body Problem 2" only sold 50 copies in China.
For one copy with more Huaxia coins, three million copies will only cost a total of more than 100 million, and part of the money will eventually be recovered.
Spending 100 million to buy a global first-day sales record is a good deal no matter how you look at it, and he believes that with this data, the money can be earned back quickly.
In addition, the books I bought are not useless. The company has many activities and usually gives away books. The three million copies will be given away slowly and sooner or later, all of them will be given away.
Or they could do it more thoroughly and send the books back to Lin Lin so that they could be sold. What they lost was the money given to the bookseller and part of the tax.
Writers' taxes are already low, and many people also use this method to launder money.
But he finally gave up the idea because he knew that his boss would be unhappy if he knew about it.
"But there is still good news." Chen Qing cheered up, "Although the sales volume of "Three-Body Problem 2" has not reached the top, because one or two volumes of "Three-Body Problem" are sold in a bundle, the sales volume of "Three-Body Problem 1" this time
Sales have reached 17 million copies."
Zhang Chong said with a smile: "So, the first-day sales volume of "The Three-Body Problem" in China was about eight million copies?"
"How did you..." Chen Qinggang wanted to ask Zhang Zhong how he knew, but then he realized that except for China, other countries sold two volumes together. The sales volume of "Three-Body Problem 2" was subtracted from the sales volume of "Three-Body Problem 1".
A rough figure that can be drawn from the sales volume is the first-day sales volume of "The Three-Body Problem" in China.
"Well, that's right. The first-day sales of "The Three-Body Problem" in China were 6.97 million copies, breaking the previous record of 5.8 million copies of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". In addition,
Within twenty-four hours, boss, all your books sold a total of 64 million copies, breaking your previous record of 41 million copies."
The last time Zhang Zhong set a record of 41 million copies, many people were still thinking about how long it would take for Zhang Zhong to break the record again, but they did not expect that it would only be more than two months later.
It was refreshed again, and the number of copies increased to 23 million in one fell swoop, leaving others with no hope at all.
Of course, the record this time is also a bit tricky. After all, "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Three-Body Problem" are sold in a bundle, and the sales volume is calculated as two books.
However, even excluding the sales of "The Three-Body Problem", it still broke the record, but it was not so exaggerated.
And as soon as this record came out, Zhang Zhong himself felt that he would never break it again, at least not in a short period of time.
