Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 371
Zhang Zhong's book has also started pre-sale, which makes readers feel quite novel.

Pre-sale is not a bad thing. Many authors also engage in pre-sale when they publish books. On the one hand, it is to measure the market and facilitate subsequent determination of the approximate printing volume. On the other hand, it is also a way to increase exposure.

It's just that Zhang Zhong's book has never been pre-sold, because his book does not need to measure the market, nor does it need to increase exposure. At least this kind of pre-sale mode that is only one week in advance cannot increase too much exposure. It is even more impossible to measure the role of the market.

After all, there is still one week until the official release time, and the publisher should have already determined the first print run, but now that the market has been tested, it is not very useful.

But now the pre-sale is out.

The readers didn't go into the details of the reason, since there is a pre-sale, then go to pre-order.

By pre-ordering, you can get the book as soon as possible, and you can also get some small gifts that you can’t get when you buy books in the bookstore. This time, you may even get Zhang Zhong’s autograph. Anyway, the money spent is the same.

On the night when the news of the pre-sale came out, Zero Zero One's official website hadn't listed the pre-sale of "The Last Starfish", so Zhang Zhong also posted a tweet.

""The Last Starfish" is about to be pre-sold on Zero Zero One's official website. Readers who book in advance can not only get an additional collector's edition belt presented by the publishing house, but also have the possibility to get my autograph. In addition, the income from this book I will donate all the manuscript fees to build the Hope Primary School.”

After Zhang Zhong's post was sent out, one stone caused a thousand waves, and netizens were all blown up.

[Can someone tell me how much the manuscript fee for this book will be? 】

[It's hard to calculate. After all, I don't know any news now, even the length and price of this book. 】

[I can only make a rough guess. If Zhang Zhong earns three yuan in manuscript fees for each book, and eventually sells 2000 million copies, then he donated 6000 million in manuscript fees. 】

[Upstairs is a bit conservative. If it is a novel, you will definitely earn more than three yuan per book.And if the quality does not decline, the final sales volume should be more than 2000 million. 】

[Well, based on this calculation, the money he donated should be hundreds of millions in the end. 】

[Who can tell me how much it costs to build a Hope Primary School? 】

[You can refer to Huaxia’s Hope Primary School Project, the donation standard for the new school building is 50 yuan. 】

[So, if you donate hundreds of millions, you can build [-] primary schools? 】

[Ahem, the math upstairs is taught by the physical education teacher? 】

[Haha, it’s two hundred schools, but that’s a lot. 】

[If the distribution is wide, basically one prefecture-level city has one Zhangzhong Hope Primary School. 】

【It can be done. 】

[Zhang Zhong probably wouldn't name it after himself. 】

[If you don't use your own name, isn't that money wasted? 】

[Think narrow-minded, is it for fame? 】

[I'm thinking about a question, does it mean that if I buy a book, I will also participate in a big project of [-] million? 】

[Yes, yes, we are all shareholders, haha. 】

[Then don’t buy it yet. 】

[Hasn't the pre-sale started yet? 】

[It started 2 minutes ago, punks. 】

[I wipe, I'm going to buy a book. 】

……

Lin Lin looked at the constantly beating numbers in the background, and his eyelids jumped too.

The sales volume of Zhang Zhong's books was also very high before, but every time a sales report was presented in front of him, it was not as shocking as it is constantly beating like now.

When the pre-sale channel just opened at seven o'clock, the pre-sale number jumped from zero to 1 in just one minute, and this was because the reservation required payment time.

Looking at the back, basically every beat has dozens or hundreds of changes.

It's only been an hour, and the number of pre-sales has reached [-].

And after an hour, the speed didn't drop, and it was still rising steadily.

Many physical books are pre-sold. Just this year, the famous detective novelist Han Xun did a pre-sale. At that time, the pre-sale time was one month earlier, and the results were not bad. The number of pre-sales was 35.

The pre-sale period of "The Last Starfish" is only one week. According to the current situation, it should be able to surpass Han Xun's 35 copies, but it is not known how many copies will be sold.

Zhang Zhong's contribution to the manuscript caused quite a stir, and it will definitely have an impact on the pre-sale.

Speaking of it, it is a good marketing, but this marketing method is too expensive.

After Zhang Zhong said this, not only would he not be able to earn a dime from this book, but he would also have to spend all his time on the affairs of Hope Primary School.

Lin Lin knows a little about donating to Hope Primary School.

His father had donated two Hope Primary Schools before and spent 100 million.

Donating to Hope Primary School does not mean that you just send the money to others. As a donor, you have to negotiate with the foundation, sign an agreement, and check and accept a series of things.

Hundreds of Hope Primary Schools will take a lot of time.

Moreover, Zhang Zhong, as a public figure, donated to the Hope Primary School, so he certainly couldn't let it go. He might have to go to the school to express condolences, and it would take time.

Regarding the contribution fee, Zhang Zhong never discussed with Lin Lin.Of course, there is no need to discuss it, although "The Last Starfish" was published by Zero Zero One Company, and they settled the manuscript fee with Zhang Zhong, but the money is all Zhang Zhong's, and how he wants to spend it is his business.

Lin Lin just sighed, how long has passed, Zhang Zhong is already richer than himself, maybe even richer than his father now.

I am a rich second generation, but my family is a serious rich generation.

[-] million, just donate if you say donate.

To describe it in four words, it is rich and powerful.

……

Zhang Chong was never worried about the sales of "The Last Starfish". Even if the pre-sales were not satisfactory, they would increase in the future, because he was very confident in this book.

As for why he donated the manuscript fee, he didn't make a name for it. He mainly wanted to give these Hope Primary Schools as gifts to Pengpeng. When the Hope Primary School was completed, he would let Pengpeng name it.

As the hands-off shopkeeper, Zhang Zhong donated money as soon as he said it, but as his manager, Chen Qing couldn't be free now.

Just after Zhang Zhong announced that he was going to donate his manuscript fee, Chen Qing received calls from no less than ten foundations within an hour.

The purposes of these foundations are all unified, and they hope that Zhang Zhong can teach them how to manage the money.

And their rhetoric is the same. They told Chen Qing that if you simply hand over the money to the relevant departments of Project Hope, the charitable effect will be very limited. It is better to teach them how to operate the money. The same money may have several times the effect .
