Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 702 Discussion by the Lake (Fourth Change)
The sales volume of "A Clockwork Girl" is not satisfactory. In the past half a month, the global sales volume was 900 million copies.

This kind of sales volume is not bad for any other writer, but for Zhang Zhong, it has declined a bit.

Previously, it took less than two days for "Sophie's World" to reach this sales volume, and "The Da Vinci Code" was a little bit worse, and it only took five or six days.

However, it took 20 days for "A Clockwork Girl" to reach this sales volume.

This sales figure includes those books that were exchanged for free.

Logically speaking, since it can be exchanged for free, the sales figure should be higher than other works, and Zhang Zhong also wrote two short stories to pave the way for this book, so the sales volume should not be so low.

But after reading the investigation report submitted by Chen Qing, Zhang Zhong probably understood.

It turns out that many readers are still waiting for their points to accumulate enough in order to be able to exchange books for free.

Of course, this is not the only reason. The fundamental reason is that this book is too uncomfortable to read, which has caused many readers to complain that the reading experience is not smooth.

The combination of these reasons has led to the unsatisfactory sales of this book.

The sales volume was not satisfactory, and many people exchanged it for free, so the money Zhang Zhong could make from "A Clockwork Girl" was very little.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Zhong lost money in this wave. In fact, with this wave of sacrifices in "A Clockwork Girl", the sales of Zhang Zhong's other books have increased during this period.

The increased sales of those books combined could make more money than The Clockwork Girls could have made by itself.

Just like a shopping mall doing promotional activities, customers may make money, but businesses never lose money.

In addition to the unsatisfactory sales of "A Clockwork Girl", Zhang Zhong also heard good news that the sales of "The Last Starfish" exceeded [-] million, becoming Zhang Zhong's third novel with sales exceeding [-] million. The two books that have exceeded [-] million are "Dune" and "Sophie's World".

Of course, because of Zhang Zhong's previous promise, all the remuneration for "The Last Starfish" will be donated, which means that Zhang Zhong will probably need to donate [-] million Huaxia coins.

The sales volume of "The Last Starfish" can exceed [-] million. The role of the movie is very large, and according to the current momentum, it may even surpass "Dune" to become Zhang Chong's highest-selling novel.

The sales volume exceeded [-] million, which also reminded many people of Zhang Zhong's previous promise. Many netizens brought up the old story again and talked about the donation.

[If I remember correctly, Zhang Zhong said that he would donate all the sales of "The Last Starfish". 】

[Not just donate, as he said at the time, all should be donated to build Hope Primary School. 】

[I also remember that at the time we all said that we had also participated in a big project worth over [-] million yuan. 】

[Well, but there are still people who estimate that the manuscript fee for this book is 6000 million, haha, it is more than [-] million now. 】

[The problem is that I haven't seen many Zhangzhong Hope Primary Schools yet. 】

[Yeah, I haven't seen a few, has any of you seen it? 】

[I didn't see it. 】

【Isn't he regretting it? 】

[Isn't this deceiving readers' feelings? 】

[It's Heizi upstairs, the administrator will deal with it. 】

[Don't be fooled, we have a Hope Primary School donated by Zhang Zhong here, but it's not called Mr. Zhang Hope Primary School. 】

[Yes, people don't have to name it after themselves. 】

[Do you have a bad memory? Didn’t Zhang Zhong’s company post it before? They sent 3000 million to the Youth Foundation, and other large and small donations add up to [-] million.This is still a thing before, and it must be more now. 】

……

Perhaps it was because there were many discussions about this matter on the Internet, so the Youth Foundation also came out the next day to announce all of Zhang Zhong's donation projects.

The accounts show that the Youth Development Foundation has successively received a total of 1000 million donations from Zhang Zhong, 150 Hope Primary Schools have been completed, and [-] more are under construction.

Not only that, the CYDF also listed the addresses and names of these 190 Hope Primary Schools, some of which Zhang Zhong donated in addition to the school buildings, and some additional materials, all of which were listed by the CYDF listed out.

The company's official website also released a statement titled "I hope everyone will forget about the contribution of the "The Last Starfish".

The title is quite catchy.

Does Zhang Zhong really want to go back on his word?Don't want to donate all the money?
But after reading the text, the readers suddenly realized that what the original statement said was to make everyone forget about the contribution of "The Last Starfish", because their donation would not be limited to the manuscript fee of "The Last Starfish". In other words, the money they donated will definitely exceed the income from the royalties of "The Last Starfish".

……

Zhang Chong didn't care about those trivial matters. He was sitting by the lake with Lin De and the others to enjoy the sunset.

"I have a lot of memories here."

It was Affleck who was talking. This guy came yesterday, and he called Zhang Zhong after arriving in Huaxia. At that time, Zhang Zhong and Linde had already arrived at Huxin Island, so he was asked to come over directly.

"The Last Starfish" was once filmed here on Huxin Island, so Affleck has this emotion.

Since the fires of "Ten Little Indian Boys" and "The Last Starfish", the tourism industry of Huxin Island has also improved to a higher level. The Jiangyang government also intends to plan the planning of Huxin Island to these two movies. .

In particular, the villa built for the filming of "Ten Little Indian Boys" has now become a must-see attraction for tourists.

Looking at the calm lake, Zhang Zhong was thinking about the "Lord of the Flies" he was writing recently, because it was not drawn from the system lottery, so he needed to combine his previous memories to write it out by himself, so the speed should be slow. At least, a few days have passed, and he has written less than a third of it.

"You say, what will happen if there are only people on this island left in the world, and the lake is full of fierce underwater creatures?"

Zhang Zhong's sudden question aroused the interest of the others.

Llorente said first, "If it's really what you said, then none of us can escape and can only live on the island's resources, but according to the current situation, the island's resources are There is no way for us people to survive."

Now there are many people on the island, but there are not many resources on the island, and the resources in the water are not available, so the first thing people face is the problem of food and water.

"People will immediately carry out internal elimination, leaving a small number of people." Llorente expressed his conjecture.

Linde shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be so fast, because everyone is a member of a civilized society. The stage you mentioned will take some time."
