Chapter 12
"By the way, it's been half a month since you negotiated a contract with that guy Cook. How is the sales of the novel?"

"It's okay. It's just that the performance in the new books of the same period is not bad, and it is still incomparable with some famous old authors."

"Just be content, kid! What do you want to achieve after just writing your first book? Are you really comparing yourself to those old authors who have been famous for many years?"

"Of course! Anyway, I am also a junior of Sheriff Marcus. If I can't compare with them, I will be ashamed of you, old man."

"You stinky boy..."

On the co-pilot of the police car, Li Congxin was talking and laughing with Sheriff Marcus of the Manhattan Police Department.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to handle, even in the United States in the Marvel world.

Coincidentally, it was the team led by Marcus who dispatched the police today.When he found out that the client was Li Congxin's, his focus immediately changed from the street fight case to whether Li Congxin's injuries were serious or not.

And those gangsters who obviously had a lot of criminal records ran away when they heard the siren sound.

As the only party involved, Li Congxin is still an acquaintance of Sheriff Marcus, so the truth of the matter is not up to him?
In this way, Li Congxin became a victim of poor law and order in New York City and a good citizen who bravely fought gangsters.After a simple bandage by specialized medical staff in the police station, Sergeant Marcus drove him home in person, as if he was treated like a princeling.

If those gangsters saw this scene, wouldn't they be tempted to call 911?

"I suggest you buy a car yourself. At the very least, don't try to save trouble by taking those remote alleys, New York's law and order..." When he came downstairs to Li Congxin's house, Marcus couldn't help but remind him, but his identity is really serious. He is not qualified to complain about public security issues, so he can only cough dryly when the words come to his mouth: "You have to think about safety."

"Thank you Uncle Marcus for reminding me, I will." Li Congxin readily agreed, but he didn't say what would happen.

Will you buy a car, will you pay attention to safety, or will you continue to walk in remote alleys?
When going upstairs after bidding farewell to Marcus, Li Congxin took a look at the hundreds of impression points that had skyrocketed on the system interface, and Li Congxin already had his own decision in mind.

………………

Driven by interests, the efficiency of the Americans can still be guaranteed.

After signing the contract for "Fights Break Sphere", it only took a week for the publishing house to complete a series of preparatory work such as cover design, advertising, typesetting and printing. The big bookstore has officially started to put it on sale.

However, due to the hasty publicity work in the early stage, and Li Congxin is an out-and-out newcomer, the sales in the first two days of the store can only be regarded as passable, and did not show the strength that Doupa should have.

However, from the third day onwards, the sales of "Fights Break Sphere" suddenly began to soar all the way. After the sales statistics of the first week were calculated, its record had already crushed a large portion of other newcomers' works, and it even had the respect of old authors. The momentum of sales parity.

In the second week, the momentum turned into reality. "Fights Break Sphere" has a cumulative sales volume of 10 copies, ranking in the middle of the best-seller list.This achievement can be said to have already occupied a place in the American literary circle. You must know that all the books released at the same time as "Fights Break Sphere", including but not limited to novels, participated in this competition.

To give a simple example, the "Playboy" series of magazines published in the same issue are also within the scope of this evaluation!

If only the sales of fiction works are counted, "Fights Break Sphere" is already one of the best.

As for why the sales volume is so coincidental, it just reached the integer of 10 copies, no more and no less?

In fact, this is not because of a coincidence, but because the publishing house printed 10 copies!

The 10-volume first volume of "Fights Break the Sphere" was sold out on Friday of the second week.Therefore, the prime time of the weekend was missed, which affected its sales a lot.And if it is in China, for the sake of performance, the publishing house will definitely organize workers to work overtime to reprint to meet market demand.

But this is the United States, a country that emphasizes "freedom and democracy" officially, and the workers' awareness of rights protection is also terribly strong.

work overtime?

Ha ha!

nonexistent!

But in this way, it happens to fit the concept of hunger marketing.

For a while, watching "Fights Break Sphere" became a fashion, especially among teenagers, this trend became more and more irresistible.Just in time for the school season, owning a copy of "Fights Break Sphere" has become a capital to show off in front of classmates.

The topics discussed by the students during the break were all closely centered on "Fights Break the Sphere", such as "Don't bully the young and poor", "Fen Jue", "Ye Huo Hong Lian", "Terrible like this" became their mantras, Those who have seen it can boast, while those who have not seen it can only listen to thunder.

The students of Duck Tinglei are of course not reconciled, but the books on the market have been sold out, so they can only save enough money, and secretly swear in their hearts that after the new book is introduced, they will buy a hardcover deluxe edition as soon as possible. Let you stand in front of me!

………………

In a bar in Manhattan, two teenagers who looked like Kuaiyin and a fat man were chatting about the topic of "Fights Break Sphere".

One of the black-haired youths who looked exactly like Kuaiyin suddenly said, "You two, have you ever thought about becoming a superhero yourself?"

Another young man with blond hair who looks like Kuaiyin immediately shook his head and said: "Wow! Dave, you are crazy, you can think of such a thing? "Fights Break Sphere" is just a story after all, don't take it too seriously, let alone 'Shaw' is not a superhero in the traditional sense either."

The "black-haired Quicksilver" called Dave seriously shook his head and said, "I know, but I saw a brave and persistent heart from him, and I believe that's what it takes to be a superhero." conditions."

At this time, the little fat man sitting on the side couldn't help but said: "Oh, Dave. I advise you to give up your unrealistic ideas as soon as possible. The society we live in is completely different from what is described in the book!"

Hearing the unanimous objections of the two companions, Dave shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that Clark is not here, otherwise, he would definitely stand by my side."

The blond Kuaiyin couldn't help but nodded at this time and said: "That guy is working out recently and learning oriental martial arts. He really looks like he is trying to become a superhero. But as far as I know, his fitness is a summer vacation. It has already started, and learning kung fu is also before the release of "Fights Break Sphere."

The black-haired Kuaiyin didn't say anything more, but there was a firm gleam in his eyes.

……

"Peter!" At the same time, in a private house in Queens, Ben Parker opened the door and entered the house, while shouting the name of his lovely nephew.

Soon, a boy who looked only seven or eight years old ran out of the room and said, "Uncle Ben, you're back."

"Peter, see what gift I brought back for you?" While speaking, Ben took out a hardcover version of "Fights Break Sphere" from his backpack and shook it in front of Peter.

The young Peter's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he jumped up excitedly. After taking the book from Ben, he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "This is so cool, Uncle Ben, do you know that our class A few classmates who own this book, how proud they are at school!"

"30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"

"I, Peter Parker, will become an upright man like 'Xiao' in the future!"

………………

On a bench in an unknown small town, a middle-aged man in a black dress and holding a civilized stick put down "Fights Break Sphere" in his hand, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that." The subjective initiative of human beings actually contains such a huge potential that it can even change fate against the sky?"

Shaking his head, he obviously disagrees with the saying of "changing fate against the sky".

But after taking another look at the "Fights Break Sphere" that he had put together, he shook his head and said to himself: "Although it can't change fate against the sky, it can improve work efficiency. From this point of view, the one called Johnny's boy is not the best choice..."

While speaking, the middle-aged man stood up and walked towards New York City.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow very long, but if someone looked closely, he would definitely find that his shadow was not the same as his gentleman's appearance, it looked more like a hunched devil!
………………

Situations like Dave and Peter are happening in various places in New York City, but more people just watch the fun, and there are very few stunned young people who really inspire themselves to become superheroes because of a novel .

From the third week onwards, the publishing house began to operate immediately, stopped all other work that could be suspended, and devoted all resources to the printing of "Fights Break the Sphere".Looking at this week's sales data, the boss of the publishing house felt very relieved, so he directly added a bonus to Cook and asked him to continue to keep in touch with Li Congxin. If the publishing rights of "Fights Break Sphere" can be fully negotiated , Let him be promoted to editor-in-chief directly!
At the same time, the owner of the publishing house lost no time in signing contracts with other publishing houses and began to borrow resources from other publishing houses to expand the printing volume.

Since the early morning of Monday, the second batch of printed "Fights Break Sphere" has just begun to be sold, and major bookstores have been overcrowded.

And when the sales statistics for the third week came out, the results shocked everyone's attention. With a sales volume of more than 340 million copies, "Fights Break Sphere" became the second best-selling book in New York City in the same period. Beneath the Playboy impurities.
