Chapter 975: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

On the second day of Jobs' tenure, another thing happened, that is, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" began to be sold on the shelves in the country, exactly one year after the release of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In the past year, Harry Potter has gone from selling only 12,000 copies in the first month to being released in 23 countries around the world, translated into 4 different languages, and finally achieving global sales of 12 million copies.

At this moment, publishing houses in 72 countries are negotiating or have completed negotiations with Daqian Entertainment, and more than 30 translators are working intensively to translate Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone into 12 different languages.

For example, the translation work of Huaxia has basically ended, and it is expected that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be available for sale in Huaxia in May this year.

And with the continued popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the sales of the second work in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", naturally attracted the curious eyes of all readers, fans, and practitioners.

In the end, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was scheduled to be released simultaneously in the United States and the United States, and people were surprised to find that there were rare long queues at the entrances of all mainstream bookstores in the United States and the United States, and the longest was the bookstore in New York, which was 300 meters long, which scared people to death.

However, if you don't want to queue up, there are also ways to buy Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

For example, Amazon officially announced that it had reached a cooperation agreement with Daqian Entertainment and Mi Daqian Publishing House to sell 100,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" on Amazon.

And if you buy "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" on Amazon, you can enjoy a limited-time discount of $5 on postage, and then you can wait for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" at home for only $5 postage.

Although Boss Jia and Daqian Entertainment have fully considered the hot sales that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" may bring, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was first released in the country of 500,000 copies, and the first release in the United States reached an astonishing 1.5 million copies.

Daqian Entertainment optimistically estimates that this total of 2 million copies should be able to sell for about two weeks, waiting for the second batch of "Harry Potter and the Secretary" to arrive.

But it turned out that Daqian Entertainment was still too optimistic, and in just three days, 2 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" were sold out in both countries, and then all of them were out of stock.

This made Daqian Entertainment extremely incomprehensible, they calculated many times, and felt that 2 million copies were enough for two countries to support at least 1 week, how could it be sold out in three days, this is too unscientific.

Later, after investigation, Daqian Entertainment learned that it turned out that this time it was not only readers from the United States and the United States, but also readers from other English-speaking countries.

Although book dealers in various countries are not allowed to directly buy and sell foreign books due to restrictions imposed by laws and regulations, illegal dealers do not have this restriction.

Crazy fans of the Harry Potter series around the world, in order to be able to read "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" a few months in advance, some people actually choose to go to the United States or the country to buy a copy of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and then make a plane home after selling out.

There are also some smart people who go to the country of Hao and the United States to buy hundreds of copies of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and then mail them back to their home countries by mail, and then sell them quietly in their home countries.

Of course, the cost of each book will increase by about twenty or thirty dollars, but it doesn't matter, those crazy Harry Potter lovers in various countries don't mind spending an extra $50, or even $100, to see the story of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in advance.

Non-English-speaking countries are not so lucky, they can't read it even if they want to!

"What to do, I really want to see it!" In an Australian home, a little girl is walking around the house in a frustrated manner.

She is a loyal Harry Potter reader, and after hearing that Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is about to be released, the girl took out all her pocket money and planned to buy and read new stories as soon as possible.

But what I didn't expect was that Australia was not in the starting country, which made the little girl depressed and at the same time, she had the idea of wanting to go to the country.

Of course, this is absolutely impossible to get support from the family, although the little girl's family is very wealthy, not only has a computer, but is also the first batch of families in Australia to install the Internet, but the problem is that her parents have no time to accompany her to the country, and it is naturally impossible to let her go alone.

Later, the little girl knew that one of her classmates would travel to the country, so she asked her to help her bring a copy of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" back, but her friend called her in the country and said that it was too late when she went, and the whole of the UK had been sold out, and if she wanted to buy it again, she could only wait for another month for the second batch of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" to be sold.

"Oh my God!" The little girl looked up to the sky and sighed, then walked around the house irritably, and finally had no choice but to walk to the computer and log on to the "Harry Potter" fan forum, hoping to find some "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" news or information from it.

It's a pity that the forum is very strict and resolutely does not allow any spoiler posts, otherwise the little girl would not be so anxious.

"The Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets I bought on Amazon has finally arrived, let's see if it's the same as what I bought in the bookstore?!" A person posts a picture in a post.

The fan site of "Harry Potter" is still very good, and there is a function that can illustrate, just such an illustration function, and it is also the illustration function of the forum, I am afraid that it will cost millions of dollars more.

Of course, the picture of this check is very vague, only about a few dozen kb or so of a picture, it can be said that it is a mess, but there are still many people who express their envy under this post, they deliberately flew to the United States, and they did not buy "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

"This guy is here to show off!" The little girl's mouth pursed angrily, but she quickly thought of something, and immediately opened the 51 search engine, then entered Amazon, entered Amazon's official website, and finally found the store of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" on the homepage of Amazon.

"There are still 40,000 copies!" The little girl let out a cheer and immediately made a purchase. When I bought it, the little girl was still a little worried, afraid that it could not be sold across borders, and she couldn't think of the function of foreign mailing, and she could also choose whether it was air express or cheaper ordinary express delivery, but she needed to pay to the designated bank account first.

In the end, when the little girl begged her parents, her parents helped her complete the remittance, but this was already a day later, and there were less than 2,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" left, and the little girl almost couldn't buy them.

But fortunately, after waiting for half a month, the little girl finally received "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" sent by air express from distant United States

"This site isn't bad!" The little girl finally muttered.

With the 100,000 copies on Amazon also sold out, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" all over the world has been sold out, which shows the great charm of "Harry Potter".
