Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 380 Know, Know, Know
Seeing Hu Huifang's face full of joy, Zhang Zhong didn't speak. In fact, it was just a Nebula Award, and it would not rise to the point of winning glory for the country.

If it wasn't for Zhang Zhong, maybe Hu Huifang wouldn't have paid attention to the Nebula Award.

The average reading volume of Chinese people is still very low. According to Link Aipu big data, the average reading volume of Chinese people is less than six paper books.

The Jews who read the most books have nearly [-] books, and the Neon Country next door has [-] books.

In comparison, Chinese people read very little.

Speaking of which, the annual sales volume of books in China is no lower than that of any other country, but this is based on the large population of China.

This leads to a phenomenon.

In China, there are many people who pay attention to physical books, but more people don't.

For example, 5000 million people usually pay more attention to physical books. This is already a huge number. If it is placed in Neon, it is half of others, and in Korea, it is the population of the whole country.

But in Huaxia, it means that only one out of thirty people pays attention to physical books.

Like Hu Huifang and the others, they usually read a lot, but most of them read famous classics, or occasionally go to bookstores, and it is impossible to pay attention to the Nebula Awards.

Now that Zhang Zhong has been nominated, not only has Hu Huifang become concerned, but also many people in Huaxia who hadn't paid attention to him have become concerned.

Among other things, this wave of assists from CCTV alone can attract the attention of many people.

This must be a good thing for Zhang Zhong, and it is very intuitive from the sales volume of new books.

Since the list of Nebula Awards was announced, the sales of the new book "The Last Starfish" suddenly increased again.

Not only on China's side, but also on North America's side, sales are rising faster.

According to statistics, in just one week, the global sales of "The Last Starfish" reached 900 million copies.

Some enthusiastic netizens also listed a calculation formula for Zhang Zhong to calculate the manuscript fee he could earn for this book this week. The final figure was 6000 million, which has exceeded the expectations of previous netizens.

In fact, the remuneration for the physical version is too much for this netizen. After all, Zhang Zhong also has to pay taxes.

However, the overall remuneration has already exceeded 6000 million, because in addition to the physical version, there is also the income from the electronic version, which is also a part that cannot be underestimated.

If this book is turned into a film and television in the future, the income from copyright will definitely be added to it.

It's only been a week now, and the sales will definitely increase in the future. If Zhang Zhong really wins the Nebula Award, or even wins the Hugo Award, then the sales of this book will usher in two waves of dramatic growth.

Zhang Zhong guessed that the final profit of this book may exceed 5 million Huaxia coins.

At that time, netizens made a fuss about participating in a large project of [-] million yuan, but they did not know that they still underestimated this book. It is very likely that this large project will double several times in the end. Anyway, it has exceeded their expectations now.

Now that the sales for a week have already come out, and the netizens have also kindly helped Zhang Chong calculate his income, then the matter of donating money will also be put on the agenda. Zhang Zhong also knows that many people are staring at this matter now. .

But there is no need to rush, this matter can be taken slowly, and even if he wants to rush, he can't rush it. Even if he sells the money now, it is impossible for hundreds of schools to pop up suddenly.

This matter has to be handed over to the company, and he doesn't have that much time. Donation needs to confirm the intention, confirm the qualifications, and discuss the address. If he goes all by himself, he doesn't have to do other things in the past few years, just go to school The process is over.

The company has already set up a team to deal with these matters, and the people from the team will represent the company to contact the local management agencies.

The first Hope Primary School is already in the process, and Chen Qing called yesterday.

The first Hope Primary School was selected in Nanhuai Province, and they had already contacted the Provincial Youth Foundation. The other party provided several alternative addresses. The purpose of Chen Qing's call was to let Zhang Chong choose a location.

Zhang Chong asked Chen Qing to decide for himself. In fact, it doesn't matter which one he chooses. Anyway, there will be a second, a third after a while... If you don't choose now, you will choose soon.

The first Hope Primary School was named by Zhang Chong after Peng Peng.

Speaking of which, the word "Pengpeng" is quite suitable for the school name of Hope Primary School.

The word Pengpeng is taken from the phrase "I walk in the wild, and Pengpeng takes the wheat" in "The Book of Songs · Fengfeng · Zaichi", while Pengpeng describes the lush vegetation and represents the meaning of thriving.

The words "hope" and "pengpeng" are appropriate no matter how you look at them.

However, this is only the name of the first school, and it can be named whatever you want later on, and it doesn't have to be a person's name.

Most people who donate to Hope Primary School will name it after themselves. Most of these people want to ask for a name. Of course, Zhang Zhong also met a person who said, "Name it after me, and come to me if something happens."

Zhang Zhong can't get involved in these two things, he doesn't want to seek fame.I never thought that something would happen and let someone else come to him.

He donated money, if there is a problem, to be honest, he still has to contact the Youth Foundation.

Zhang Zhong pressed a rivet on the map on the study wall, and at that location, a "Pengpeng Hope Primary School" will be established.

He believes that in the near future, more and more rivets will be nailed to this picture.

After reading it, he sat back behind the desk, ready to draw a prize with [-] points.

A few days ago, he thought about holding back until next year to draw a lottery, but today there are [-] more points, and he felt a little itchy in his heart.

But before he started the lottery draw, he received a call from Liu Hong, the president of Jiangyang University.

This is a late call. Since Xu Wenxuan told Zhang Zhong about the joint school, it is the first time Liu Hong has contacted him.

"Hello, Principal Liu." Zhang Zhong answered the phone and greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, have you had dinner yet?"

"Excuse me, I have already eaten. I don't know if Principal Liu called me at this time. Does he have any instructions? My class is over, and the school is going to be on holiday." Zhang Zhong pretended to be confused , Play Tai Chi with Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was straightforward, straight to the point, "I called because I wanted to discuss something with Mr. Zhang. Two days ago, President Qi Lin of Jinling University called me. They intend to establish a college with Jiangyang University. .”

"Joint school?" Zhang Zhong asked in surprise, "That's a good thing."

The corner of Liu Hong's mouth twitched on the other end of the phone. He actually knew that Zhang Chong already knew about the joint school, and he also knew that Zhang Chong knew that he knew that Zhang Chong knew about it.

It sounds a bit of a mouthful, but the fact is that both of them understand it in their hearts, but they are both pretending to be confused.

"Yeah, I also think it's a good thing, but it happened suddenly, so I called to discuss it with you."
