Chapter 297 Dark Forest Pre-sale and Trial Reading

The sewage that was spilled on Lin Han was quickly cleaned up. Most people knew that the books he was donating to colleges and universities. With such a group of loyal readers, why worry about becoming a great god?

"Have you ever thought about expanding this college plan, such as diversifying book types and expanding school scope?"

"So I don't understand what you mean." Lin Han looked at his girlfriend in confusion, and she was holding a few statistics to keep reading.

It is rare that Chen Jiaxuan didn’t go to work early today. She sat on the sofa and said, “Do you want to pass on your story to more people, or do you want to expand the reserve power of science fiction readers, or can I help you combine the two into one.”

After this incident, Chen Jiaxuan thought that Lin Han's small-scale fight actually played an important role. If it were their studio to publish a manuscript to clarify it, it would definitely take a long time and be slow to take effect.

Students are the main consumer forces and potential stocks now. It is better to grasp the student group firmly than anything else. The rest of them have more or less seen the ability of this group. However, as the first person to take the lead, Lin Han has particularly obvious advantages.

Lin Han took a sip with a coffee cup, and he asked in confusion: "What do you want to do?"

"How about setting up a Linhan Reading Foundation? Don't donate money, just donate books, magazines, etc., so that you can meet your identity. At that time, we can provide more books from writers to readers, so that they can have more choices and can eliminate other writers, and of course, your books will be the main focus."

Chen Jiaxuan became more and more excited as she spoke. She uncovered the small blanket covering her knees, stood up and walked to Lin Han and continued: "In addition, it is to promote this project globally so that school science fiction associations in other countries can also successfully apply. Then, I will give them books in the corresponding language."

This plan is very feasible, and Lin Han's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it. He is indeed a professional. He is not afraid of spending money. He earns so much every year anyway. He can use money to promote these science fiction novels on earth, which is a great success for him!

Let the novels on Earth bloom everywhere in this world, Lin Han's wish seems to be fulfilled soon.

"I just have a small request, that is, don't make this foundation commercial. I hope it can be a little low-key and purer."

The reason why there are so many school student unions, science fiction associations, libraries and official microblogs to help Lin Han is because he never thought about any rewards, just simply giving the book to his readers, that's all, without any additional conditions.

"Of course, this is a must. Will this foundation do things with great fanfare? I want to create a foundation management department for you alone."

"Just make a decision. I'll call Mosquito, Wang Hao and others. Yesterday they were under pressure to speak for me, which made them scolded by boring netizens."

After Lin Han kissed Chen Jiaxuan on the lips, he walked into the study with his cell phone and coffee cup. He called these friends who helped him speak one by one. The cold words in the chat box did not fully express his gratitude.

Li Wenyuan said carelessly: "What's the point of thanking for this? It's just a few words. Besides, I didn't help with anything, and in the end you'll rely on yourself."

"You can't say that. You are a timely helper. It's much better than those guys who are taking advantage of the situation." Lin Han said comfortingly. He also knew that his friends were limited, but he didn't expect that more irrelevant people would hate him.

"Since you sincerely want to thank me, then read the document "Death Eternal Life" to me in advance. I can't stand it. I finally finished reading "Dark Forest" and wanted to see how you write it later." Li Wenyuan's requirements are really not high.

Lin Han thought about it in his mind, and he said, "No problem. Today I will send you the full set of the hardcover commemorative version of "Three-Body Problem". It just so happened that the printing factory will print out the sample of "Death Eternal Life" to see the effect."

When Li Wenyuan heard this, his eyes almost popped out, "The whole set will be released so soon? What are you waiting for? I'll drive to find you now!"

He was actually unwilling to wait for a moment, and he wanted to open a random door and rush over!

"Don't worry, I will definitely send it to you in the morning, so you can wait with peace of mind." Lin Han couldn't help laughing at the beautifully packaged books on the table.

The charm of the novel is huge, and no one can resist the temptation of "The Three-Body Problem"!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han took the set of books to the coffee table in the living room. He and Chen Jiaxuan got off the elevator together, then separated in the garage and headed towards their destinations.

...

"Dingdong"

The doorbell rang happily. Lin Han visited Li Wenyuan's home for the first time. Unexpectedly, this was a garden villa-style building, which was particularly rare against the backdrop of the surrounding high-rise buildings.

A few seconds later, Li Wenyuan's excited face appeared in front of Lin Han, and the first sentence was: "Have the book been brought?"

These days, books are more important than people.

"Take it, right."

After Li Wenyuan couldn't put it down and held the full set of "Three-Body Problem" in his hand, he remembered that Lin Han was still here, "Come in and sit around casually. Xiao Grao went to learn piano with her mother, and there was no one at home."

"No, I'm here to be a courier. Next, I made an appointment with Mr. Zhao from Renmin University Press. I met at 11 o'clock to discuss the listing of these two books. If I don't leave, I will be late. You can read it slowly by yourself. Remember to write a professional book review!"

"You go and do your business, I'll read the book peacefully for a while." Li Wenyuan did not try to keep it anymore. Only "The Three-Body Problem" is the largest in this time!

Lin Han looked at the closed door in front of him with laughter and cry. This man loves books so much that he loves them. Only true friends will not care about so many things.

When he rushed to the teahouse outside the publishing house, it was already two o'clock.

Too many cars will not only cause traffic jams, but also cause parking spaces to be found. Lin Han moved around for a while before he successfully parked the car.

The temperature in Yanjing in winter is very low, and the people walking on the sidewalk are fully armed and wrapped themselves tightly.

As the cold wind blew, the withered ginkgo leaves on the roadside fell to the ground. The color was so bright yellow. When I stepped on it, I rustled. Lin Han pulled up his scarf and protected his face.

As soon as he entered the teahouse, the familiar temperature reactivated his almost frozen facial muscles, and the heated room could fully enjoy the winter scenery outside.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm late for a few minutes, so I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Han hung his scarf and coat on the hanger on the side, and then he sat on the wooden chair.

"It's okay, I'm just a few minutes earlier. Let's take a little tea to warm my body."

The rising water vapor steeped in front of Lin Han. After drinking a cup of hot tea, the way to drink it like a cow chews peony dispels the cold all over his body.

Lin Han didn't understand what kind of tea this is. The faint tea fragrance was very easy to taste, which was much better than Master Kong's green tea, jasmine tea.

"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with me coming here today? Didn't you agree that this novel will be released nationwide on New Year's Day?"

Since something has been decided, what else can be discussed?

However, Zhao Han smiled and said, "Now the news about your last two books has made many people feel itchy. Many of them use their connections to find our publishing house and printing factory to ask for novel content. Some people are really hard to refuse, especially those Internet tycoons, who are willing to spend money, and we also need to look at the pre-sale data to make the final printing basis."

"So what do you want to do?"

Lin Han asked concisely and clearly. He didn't want to attend any event recently, and he was unwilling to do sales on the first day of his release. Moreover, his celebration banquet with a global sales of over 10 million was not held. Other writers had to smash the Ice Dragon even for 5 million copies. Lin Han was so lazy.

"Our plan is to start pre-sales in advance and then give them a sneak peek."

The so-called trial reading book is a booklet made by the publisher who extracts about two or three chapters of the new book, story summary, author introduction and other content, and distributes it to the distribution channel for free by ordinary readers. The readers have some understanding of the content of the book, which in turn arouses interest in reading and attracts readers to purchase.

In Europe and the United States, trial reading books have become one of the most popular advanced marketing methods to operate best-selling books.

Simply put, book trial books are like trailers for movies. This is a value-added service for bookstores and publishers, reflecting respect for readers and attracting readers to stimulate consumption.

The trial reading book is definitely free, but this kind of publicity method is mixed in China. Industry insiders believe that this is a risky publicity method, while readers are worried that the publisher will pass the cost of the trial reading book onto the book.

"The popularity of "Dark Forest" and "Death Eternal Life" no longer requires the release of limited edition trial versions, right?" Lin Han felt that this was completely unnecessary and there was no need to do such a thing.

Originally, "The Three-Body Problem" was very popular, and this time it was crazy and reversal, the news reports were all full of this news. Ordinary people know that there is this novel, let alone the other readers.

The release of the trial book is not for Lin Han's own fans, and it seems that there is no need to do so at all.

Zhao Han did not relax. He said, "After all, it is still quite long before New Year's Day. You must use something to attract the attention of readers and leave them with expectations. You don't need to do any publicity. The editor of our publishing house can get the trial reading book out and deduct it from the special marketing expenses."

Lin Han's eyes rolled, and he spoke, "Why not do that? It is said that it is to draw lucky pre-sale readers to publish the trial book, but in fact it is to send them the complete novel. This is definitely a surprise!"

"What if they reveal the content of the novel? Wouldn't it cause spoilers across the Internet? That wouldn't be fun."

"Attach a small note on the book, telling them not to spoil it. In addition, even if they spoil it, it will not have much impact unless they photocopy every page."

"You really should be engaged in business, just listen to yours and give your readers surprises!"

...

Three days later, the official Weibo account of Renmin University Press officially released the news: "In addition to the nickname, Lin Han's "Three-Body Body" series, the last two "Three-Body Body 2: Dark Forest" and "Three-Body Body 3: Eternal Life of Death" have entered the printing and distribution stage. Friends who like Teacher Lin's novels can pre-order through the following links, and can also pre-order the complete collection of "Three-Body Body". Readers currently participating in the pre-order will have the opportunity to draw free trial books for the latter two novels to master the exciting content of the novel in advance! The number of trial books is limited, and we will meet you in the near future. Please ensure that the pre-order address can be received. Maybe luck will come to you!"

Life is like years, and Lin Han’s readers have only one idea. They have always listened to the progress of the novel. From Lin Han’s keynote to writing on the keyboard to reporting the progress halfway through the report, and then the manuscript was delivered to the publishing house. Now the publishing house has finally printed and bounded and distributed the goods. It has only been more than a month, but it feels like several years have passed, and it is so anxious that it is waiting.

Now that the novel has finally been launched, pre-sales have begun, and those who pay the deposit to pre-order can also get the trial book, which is a big step ahead of others. So on several websites, the number of pre-orders for the complete collection of "Three-Body Problem" and "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" has begun to soar.

The customer service of the official store is so busy that it can’t reply so many questions. No one knows how to get the trial book. Everything is randomly screened through big data. Only those who have been selected may be obtained. The list will not be published on the Internet.

In one hour, the pre-sale of the complete collection of "Three-Body Problem" which costs up to 81 yuan has reached 40,000 copies, while the pre-sale of the separate "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" is even more terrifying, reaching 85,000 copies, and "Three-Body Problem 3: Death Eternal Life" also terrifyingly came to 60,000 copies!

After only this time, the pre-sale data began to rush towards something that people couldn't understand. It was simply shocking the industry's people to lose countless chins. The staff of Renmin University Press predicted that the 24-hour number was only 150,000 copies, and now half of it was completed in one hour!

Buy, buy, start first, and then suffer. I finally finished the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", but this story seems to have just begun, and they can't wait to see the content behind it.

Those who had wronged Lin Han, who had a hint of shame in their hearts, those who were passers-by and fans, and the most loyal readers, these different groups were working together to sprint this pre-sale number to a higher point.

In 4 hours, the pre-sale volume reached 150,000 copies, completing the publisher's prediction target.

In 7 hours, "Dark Forest" pre-sale reached 200,000 copies, setting a record for the highest pre-sale of science fiction novels!

In 15 hours, the new "Three-Body Problem" full collection was launched for more than 100,000 copies!

Can the record be broken in twenty-four hours?
Chapter completed!
