Yu Dong's autograph session lasted until past eight o'clock, and Yu Hua and the others waited for him until past eight o'clock.
The woman and the children stayed in the bookstore for a while, and then they went shopping under the arrangement of the people from deep space.
"They should have eaten by now." Yu Hua covered her stomach, "I'm so hungry waiting for you."
Yu Dong laughed: "Come on, I'll treat you to a big dinner."
But Wang Xiaobo said: "I think, if you want to invite me, you should also invite Yu Hua."
"Why do you want me to invite you?"
Bi Feiyu nodded in agreement with Wang Xiaobo's proposal, "You should invite me. I saw today that in this bookstore, you have sold thousands of copies of "Alive". Isn't this sales volume because of "Old Books"? You
Tell me whether you should treat Yu Yu to a meal outside, and let us accompany you."
Yu Hua chuckled, "Isn't it just over a thousand copies? The books Yu Yuanwai sold in one day are probably worth ours for several years."
Wang Xiaobo nodded, rubbed his chin and estimated, "It will be released globally simultaneously. The situation in other countries is not clear yet, but judging from the popularity in the United States, it should be able to sell a few million on the first day. If it is better, maybe it can
Sold for three to four million."
Three to four million a day, this number is quite scary just hearing it.
"So many." Yu Hua said in surprise: "You can't compare with others. "To Live" has been selling for so long, so this is the sales volume."
"More than that." Yu Dong smiled, "The global sales of "Alive" should be four to five million now."
Mo Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, the sales volume of "Alive" is already very impressive in my opinion, but when put together with the sales volume of Yu Yuanwai's works, it can't be compared."
"Well, Yu Yuanwai's worst-selling volume should be more than four to five million copies." Bi Feiyu said.
Yu Hua shook his head, "Isn't there another copy of "Collection of Essays on the Cucumber Garden"? The sales volume of this book is not four to five million."
Bi Feiyu rolled his eyes, "What you said makes it even more obvious that we are holding him back."
"That's for sure. If it weren't for the fact that there are a few of us in "Cucumber Garden Essays", the sales would have doubled."
Yu Dong glanced at them sideways, waved his hands angrily and said, "Stop being so shy. Jimmy will come over later and let him arrange dinner."
…
Qin Fen only slept for a few hours last night.
This time "Old Books" is being sold globally, Deep Space has been tracking the whole process and has been live broadcasting the sales of new books in various places.
Qin Fen started chasing after dinner yesterday and didn't go to bed until late at night.
There was no way around it. There was a time difference between the East and the West. When he had dinner, it was a hot time in Europe and the United States had just started.
Later, he stayed up until about two o'clock in the middle of the night, when his wife came over and pulled him to bed.
After sleeping for a few hours, he hurriedly got up again and continued to pay attention to the sales of new books.
At this time, new book sales in various places have basically ended, but the data is still being compiled, and the Deep Space Live Post is constantly posting data uploaded by bookstores in various places.
[New York Bear Bookstore, 110,000 volumes sold that day.]
[Waterstones London 1, 5,000 copies sold that day.]
[Berlin Bailey Bookstore, 6,000 volumes sold that day.]
[London Waterstones Bookstore 2, 3,500 copies sold that day.]
…
The live broadcast in deep space is very simple, just an ordinary data broadcast, but Qin Fen enjoys watching it and can't stop.
This feeling is like sowing a seed in the ground, and then watching the seed slowly take root, sprout, break out of the ground, and then slowly grow into a towering tree.
When Qin Fen saw that Little Bear Bookstore had sold 110,000 copies of "Old Books" that day, he rubbed his eyes and read it carefully several times in front of the computer screen.
Finally, it was confirmed that it was correct, it was 110,000, not 11,000.
Scroll further down, and sure enough everyone is discussing the sales of these 110,000 copies.
[Shen Zhou: Shouldn’t the official write an extra zero? A bookstore sold 110,000 copies? 】
[Chen Mobai: It’s definitely not an extra zero. I know this Little Bear Bookstore. Teacher Yu’s previous book signings were basically at his house. 】
[Toronto boy: It can’t be 110,000, it’s too exaggerated. On average, each person buys three books, and it takes 30,000 to 40,000 people. A bookstore visits 30 to 40,000 people in one day to buy one person’s books.
?]
[Ronald: The data should not be falsified, there is no need.]
[Toronto Teenager: I’m not saying the data is falsified, I’m saying there could be an operational error. 】
[Xiaoyao Sanren: Why are you anxious? The specific data will definitely be announced, let’s just watch.]
[The fourth person in Taoyuan Betrayal: Can the official count the sales of books such as "Border Town" and "Alive"? 】
[Liu Jinfa: Yes, I am very curious. The small bookstore in front of our house can no longer buy "Border Town". 】
[Lin Dongdong: Haha, I have collected these ten books. 】
[Jin Kefan: I gathered it all early and watched "Border Town" again last night. It was great!]
[Turn-based: The first-day sales volume of "Old Book" should have exceeded 2 million this time, right? 】
[Chen Mobai: I kept it conservative, the data sent out now has exceeded two million. 】
[Fox fakes tiger power: How many volumes were printed for the first time this time?]
[Tianxia No. 789: I only know that the Chinese version has a first printing of two million copies, but I don’t know about other languages. 】
[Turn-based: two million copies... scary.]
[Master Ronald: Two million is nothing, even if 100 million copies are printed, I think they can be sold. 】
…
Jimmy was sitting in the office, looking at the data that was constantly coming in, and he was in a good mood.
The data he saw was of course newer and more than what Deep Space announced. According to the current situation, the sales volume of "Old Book" within 24 hours is likely to exceed 8 million copies.
If they can reach this figure, their publicity this time will be in vain.
The record on the first day was basically achieved, and the subsequent results will definitely not be bad, because the quality of this book is indeed high, it has the characteristics of a best-seller, and it is also evocative. The sales volume will definitely be very long-lasting.
I have to say that the Amazon website is very powerful this time. Before yesterday, the number of pre-orders for "Old Books" on the website exceeded one million.
In addition to sales, Jimmy has been receiving calls from various directors since yesterday afternoon. They called for no other reason than to get the rights to adapt "Old Book".
There are some well-known directors among them, such as Peter Weir, director of "Dead Poets Society", and Tim Burton, director of "Edward Scissorhands".
