Chapter 211: "Harry Potter" Part 1 Released

  Bano Bookstore.

   It has a history of 115 years. It is the largest physical bookstore chain and the second largest online bookstore in the United States.

As of mid-1998, there were only 352 bookstores owned by major universities in the United States; there were as many as 450 community bookstores; as for the number of commercial bookstores in major cities, the number was as high as thousands, which is a veritable present day America's largest bookstore chain.

   On August 3, when its major stores opened, a large number of customers came to buy books.

   "Are there any books on Harry Potter?"

   A young man in his 20s asked a bookstore guide.

   "Yes, right there."

   The shopping guide responded and pointed to the large recommendation column bookshelf in the most conspicuous position at the entrance of the bookstore.

   good fellow!

   Thousands of books of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are neatly placed on the large recommendation column bookshelf.

   "Wow~ That's a lot." The 20-year-old young man exclaimed.

   Many of the customers who entered the bookstore in turn came for the books of Harry Potter.

   have paid for it.

   "This placement is really conspicuous, you can see it as soon as you enter the hall." A middle-aged man exclaimed.

"Of course."

   An old woman around 50 years old echoed: "Don't forget, this is a book that Dylan wrote and recommended himself."

   Another girl smiled and said: "It can be placed on the large recommended bookshelf. Not much else, Jin Shuguang Publishing must have spent a lot of money."

   In fact, it is true.

  Barnes & Noble Bookstore, as the largest physical bookstore in the United States, recommends bookshelves by the owners of its major bookstores, and countless publishers compete for it every day. Jin Shuguang Publishing House was able to win this main recommendation position, of course, at a price.

   "Bring me a copy of Harry Potter."

   "I heard that Dylan loves it, so I will also buy one and have a look."

   "Well, I just watched it for a while and thought it was really good."

   Many people around the customers who bought books started talking. Of course, as time goes by bit by bit, the number of people who come to buy "Harry Potter" is also increasing.

   In just one hour, only 370 Harry Potter books were sold at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in the Highland Shopping Plaza in Los Angeles.

   This sales figure is definitely not low!

   You should know that after the movie "Jurassic Park" was released in 1993, the novel of the same name was also released for the second time. Of course, it was also the main recommendation of Barnes & Noble Bookstore. At the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Los Angeles Heights Shopping Plaza, its one-hour sales volume is only 420.

   Yes, the current sales volume of the first Harry Potter is lower than that of Jurassic Park.

   But, don't forget, this is the sales volume when the "Harry Potter" movie was not released.

  ...

   The capital of Oregon, Poland.

   At the entrance of the famous bookstore Powell's Book City, there are dozens of people lining up at this moment, including customers who came to buy "Harry Potter".

   Many people started to complain constantly!

   "Damn Powell's Book City, they didn't even have enough "Harry Potter"?!"

   "Yes, I never thought that as the largest bookstore in Oregon, Powell's bookstore could ignore Dylan's influence."

   "Man, I just learned that Demi Moore, the owner of Powell's City of Books, is Dylan's enemy. How could he prepare for Harry Potter?"

   "It turned out to be so, but I believe that no capitalist will have trouble with money."

   Actually, they guessed it right!

   Powell’s Powell’s Powell’s branch manager is calling his boss at the moment.

   "Boss, we are not fully prepared for "Harry Potter" books. The 500 books we prepared were sold out in less than 2 hours. Now there are more than 70 people waiting in line outside the bookstore."

   The manager is sweating all over.

   My boss and Dylan are rivals, so I didn't prepare so many Harry Potter books in advance.

  Of course, there is no shortage of people who want to please their boss.

   "You fool!"

On the phone, Demi Moore, the owner of Powell’s City of Books, cursed more and more: "Dylan and I are rivals, but we don’t hate money. Why don’t you prepare more? Why are you calling me now? , Call the publisher cleanly!"

   "Yes, yes~" The manager replied repeatedly.

   "What are you still doing? Hurry up and solve it. If you can't solve it, you will resign and leave for me, idiot!" There was a roar on the phone again.

  ...

   Jin Shuguang Publishing Group.

   At this moment, everyone in the operation department of the publishing group is very busy, constantly answering calls from all over the United States.

   "Barnes & Noble Bookstore has 3 branches in Auckland. Need 2,000 copies of Harry Potter, don’t you? But I’m sorry, we don’t have so many stocks now. Today’s 1,500 copies are already the limit."

   "You need 1,200 copies of Sparrow Bookstore, no, no, not so many. I can only give you 800 copies. Yes, we are old friends, but it is difficult for me to do it now. You have to be considerate of me, man."

   "White Diamond Bookstore, 900 copies."

   "Looking for a bookstore, 2000 books."

   "Snow White and Prince's House, 1,400 copies, coming soon!"

  ...

   In just one day, the first 500,000 books of "Harry Potter" were sold.

   When Zhuke saw the report, he immediately ordered: "Alexander, tell Ms. Hassan, the publisher, to publish "Harry Potter" with all his strength. Within a week, I will be able to start work hard and take out at least 2 million copies."

   "Uh... boss, will it be too much?" Alexander hesitated.

   It is reasonable for him to hesitate. The reason why he was able to sell 500,000 books on the first day was due to Dylan’s influence rather than the quality of Harry Potter itself.

   As far as Alexander got the news, Jobs alone bought 5000 copies of Harry Potter at once.

   Don’t ask the reason!

   Because Jobs is Dylan’s loyal little brother!

   If Dylan hadn't made a preface for "Harry Potter" and personally recommended it, Jobs would never buy a Harry Potter book.

   "Boss, our "Harry Potter" hasn't started to be filmed after all. Tomorrow's sales will definitely decline. 200 copies are a bit too much~www.novelmtl.com~Alexander said in a deep voice.

   At what he said, the tenant smiled indifferently.

   Subordinates questioned Zhuke's decision. This is the privilege Zhuke gave to Alexander, because Zhuke himself has some shortcomings and needs others to make up for it.

   Of course, if Zhuke decides, then there is only one way to go.

   "Go. Don't underestimate our "Harry Potter", let alone 2 million copies, believe it or not, after the movie is released, it can sell tens of millions of copies!" Zhu Kelang laughed.

  "..."

   Alexander naturally didn't believe it, but he was still shocked.

   "Harry Potter" can sell tens of millions of copies?

real or fake? !

   In fact, as of 2020, the "Harry Potter" series of books have sold 390 million copies of genuine books worldwide, second only to "Maoyu" and "The Bible."

   Of course, mainly because of the result of film and television and Time Warner's operation!

  In the history of the original time and space, a small British publishing house was responsible for the first publication of "Harry Potter", and the effect was not very good.

   Within 3 months, only less than 1,000 copies were sold.

   However, with the inclusion of Time China, it only took less than 40 days to sell 3.9 million copies in the United States around the world.

   The advantages of the Media Group are unmistakable!

   Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, even if it is far inferior to Time Warner Group, but with Zhu Ke’s hard work, other places dare not say, only the book publishing market in the United States, Zhu Ke dared to fight with Time Warner.
