Also in August, in California, USA, two novels began to slowly become popular. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The current state of California, without the explosion of Silicon Valley, naturally has not reached the point of sixth in the world's gross domestic product in the future -- this is the sixth after the United States, China, Japan, and so on.

However, California has always been a great place to live.

It's sunny, has a long coastline and a variety of natural beauty, from Canada to Mexico at the bottom, spanning the whole of North America.

In terms of the comfort of life alone, California is ten times more than New York, so it is no wonder that many Chinese female stars have come here to give birth.

Americans are one of the most readful people, and although they are not as perverted as Israel, they are in the top 10 of all countries, and there is no problem at all.

In addition, the United States has a population of more than 300 million, which is a large country with a large population, so it can naturally support a large number of book publications.

In California, where the environment is suitable, it is summer, and many people like to go to the beach to bask in the sun and rest, and also take a book or two to read leisurely, and they can spend an afternoon.

Coincidentally, after the word-of-mouth circulation of many people, the last two new books published by a small publishing house have aroused the love of countless white-collar workers.

The first book was called Jurassic Park.

At first glance, this cover is a book about a huge and ferocious dinosaur, and I thought it was a book about those extinct dinosaurs, but when I picked it up, I realized that it was an adventure book about a life discussion.

There is not only a wonderful storyline in it, but also a variety of knowledge, including physics, nature, genes, mechanics, mechanics...... And so on, all mixed in this book, it doesn't seem to be stiff at all, but very interesting.

It's just that when you look at such a wonderful and tense novel, it's easy to fall into that kind of atmosphere, which makes people want to read it in one sitting.

This has happened more than once in bookstores before, and many readers have picked up Jurassic Park and can't put it down until they are hungry, or even when the bookstore is closed, they come to remind them that time has passed.

As a result, "Jurassic Park" also had a strong reputation, and a week after it began going public on July 10, it hit the Wall Street Journal's bestseller list.

It's no surprise that the Wall Street Journal has 3,000 copies on its bestseller list.

But what is surprising is that once it hit the bestseller list, "Jurassic Park" began to start its own journey to the list in a straight line.

In just two weeks, "Jurassic Park" ranked 28th on the Wall Street Journal's monthly bestseller list, and thus directly climbed the New York Times bestseller list of the world's most famous and authoritative bestsellers.

The New York Times bestseller list requires 11,000 copies to make it to the top of the list.

There aren't many middlemen who swipe the list, so the New York Times list is very trustworthy.

Well, you read that right, in the United States, there are such middlemen who brush the charts, as long as you give money, they are responsible for buying books all over the country, and then increasing the sales of your books to get you on the list.

It's just that such a large-scale behavior of swiping the rankings will only appear on a large scale after the development of the Internet era and the fact that the part-time workers under them are easy to contact and organize.

Now, no matter how much they cheat, under the discernment of the full-time staff of the New York Times, they still can't appear in the top 50 of the best-selling list.

And now, after entering August, "Jurassic Park" has also ranked 69th on the New York Times bestseller list, which is a good momentum.

Another book written by Yin Jun called "The Da Vinci Code" is not as thrilling as "Jurassic Park", and it belongs to the category of detectives that need to be thought about with the brain, so at first its sales were not as good as "Jurassic Park".

At the same time, "The Da Vinci Code" only ranked 58th on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list and 88th on the New York Times bestseller list, barely making the list.

So far, Henry Press's shipments of "Jurassic Park" are 33,231 copies, and "The Da Vinci Code" is 17,489 copies.

Kant-Henry was very excited.

He had long seen that "The Da Vinci Code" and "Jurassic Park" were two good books, so he gave Yin Jun a contract for the first printing of 6,000 and 10,000 copies.

I thought that it might be sold out in about a year and a half, and then the cumulative sales would exceed at least 20,000 or 30,000 copies.

I didn't expect that it would be sold so much in less than a month before it was officially published.

In fact, if it weren't for Kant's slow reaction speed and the late reprinting, "Jurassic Park" would not have sold so much at all.

As things stand, many California book lovers can't buy books, let alone those outside the state.

Right now, the printing house is still working overtime, printing the second 50,000 copies.

Kant had already planned that if the first 50,000 copies were sold out in August, he would not wait for the second 50,000 copies to be sold out, but would print another 100,000 copies.

"The Da Vinci Code" is not as popular as "Jurassic Park", but Kant has heard book friends talk about this very brain-burning and very interesting book in his bookstore and on some occasions when book friends are discussing.

So Kant was also preparing to start printing 50,000 copies of the second "Da Vinci Code".

In fact, when Kant called Yin Jun, he excitedly proposed that Yin Jun and himself contribute 50,000 US dollars each, and Yin Jun would pay this part in advance, and deduct it from the manuscript fee in the future, and do a promotion and publicity of the two books together.

You must know that before, Kant made a very detailed recommendation in his Henry's bookstore, and then outside, he just posted some advertising pictures, and there was no large-scale comprehensive recommendation, including inviting book reviewers and reviewers to write articles, including more bookstores in major cities, and so on.

Kant optimistically estimates that if the $100,000 is spent, Yin Jun's two books are likely to have a big breakthrough in the total sales of these two books in the final three years.

"Jurassic Park" should reach 500,000 copies, and "The Da Vinci Code" should also have 300,000 copies.

In this way, Yin Jun's royalties will exceed $1.2 million before taxes, which is a remarkable amount!

Today's American writers can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars with a single book, and there are definitely no more than 100 people.

Many famous writers also have to accumulate over time in order to slowly become famous and sell more.

But Yin Jun directly rejected Kant's proposal, and let him continue to print it, without too much publicity.

Kant was confused, he thought that Yin Jun didn't know the difference between $1.2 million and $50,000, but Yin Jun didn't listen to his explanation, and insisted on doing so, he could only give up the plan.

What the?

You asked Kant to pay for the pitch?

No kidding!

How could a businessman do such a great thing?

These two books were not written by Stephen King and Michael Clayton, so how could Kant work hard to promote them?

So, Kant could only put the dumplings in the pot and make them while watching.

Yin Jun actually doesn't really care much about the money for the novel.

I think of "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code" as bestsellers who have sold millions of copies, but they are nothing compared to the profits they make on peripheral products such as movies.

Now Yin Jun doesn't wait for twenty or thirty million Hong Kong dollars to eat, and he has to wait for several years to make a movie, today's computer technology is not mature at all, or not at all, how can Yin Jun let these two novels, especially "Jurassic Park", be wronged?

He is determined to make Jurassic Park even more classic than his previous life.

And if you want to reach this point, although there is actually not much computer technology in "Jurassic Park", more model manufacturing technology, but this is not a project that has no accumulation and is rashly done.

Just look at the special effects in Lucas's "Star Wars" to know how bad the special effects technology is in this era.

In the future, the four major special effects companies in Hollywood, now only Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic have just been established, and there will be at least more than ten years before the special effects technology will bloom!

Yin Jun wants to do better than "Jurassic Park" in his previous life, in addition to letting a group of people start with other special effects movies and accumulate experience, it is more important to influence the development of the computer industry.

Microsoft has only been established for 4 years now, and the prototypes of the Windows system have not yet been bought by them, let alone any windows 95 and windows 98.

If Yin Jun wants to influence Microsoft, it will only be after next year, 1980, when IBM will start to use and implement Microsoft's operating system, that it will be necessary to join and influence them.

Speaking of which, this is not an easy thing to do.

Although Bill children's shoes look harmless to humans and animals, they are definitely much more gloomy and vicious than the arrogant Zuckerberg, and it is really difficult to deal with him without any background and nothing to suppress them!

But Yin Jun has no choice, the Windows system is the most important platform for almost all software, and if it is not developed earlier, how can it give birth to those companies and elite engineers who specialize in developing software on Windows?

Only after a hundred flowers are released, the computer stunt technology that Yin Jun needs can come out of the minds of these technical nerds and become a reality!
