Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 535 is too short

The dream of North American readers is not coming true, but after nearly a year of waiting, a few hours of waiting seems to be acceptable.

Liang Han was sitting in the office with a cup of herbal tea, looking at the news on the Internet with a relaxed expression.

Some time ago, the magazine office was very busy. In addition to the overseas edition, it also had to organize activities for the first anniversary.

He was already busy enough, and the readers were booing for the [-]th issue commemorative event, and he agreed with a quick brain.

The result of agreeing is that not only himself has been running around these days, but even his colleagues in the agency have experienced a wave of 007.

Finally, after a stage of work was over, he finally had time to make himself a cup of tea and wait for it to cool to his favorite temperature.

Liang Han has a habit. He doesn't like hot tea, but he doesn't drink pure cold tea. He likes to drink that kind of tea—probably the kind of tea that is about to cool down in summer but has not yet cooled down.

He guessed it was about 30 degrees.

Sometimes he also thought about using a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water that is most suitable for him, but he didn't do it every time because he never had a thermometer at hand.

It is because there is no thermometer, so the article he had planned before called "Love at XX Degree Clear Water" has not been written.

It's not easy to drink such a cup of tea with a temperature suitable for him, and he can't mix it with cold water, so he can only wait for the tea to cool down slowly by itself, but if the time passes by accidentally, the water temperature will be wrong.

So he can only have a drink when he has free time here.

While drinking, assistant Hao Re knocked on the door and came in.

"Editor-in-chief, netizens have launched another appeal."

"Oh, is that so?" Liang Han put down his glass. He pays more attention to readers' feedback, so he has always told his subordinates to always pay attention to netizens' comments, and when they encounter hot topics, they should bring them to him.

"Well, many netizens asked why the overseas version can't be bought in China." Hao Re said.

"Ah?" Liang Han asked in surprise, "You said many netizens asked why the overseas version can't be bought in China?"

He bites the word "domestic" very hard, and it is obvious that his doubts lie in these two words.

"Yes." Hao Re said.

"Why is that? The overseas version is of course for foreigners. Why do we buy it in China?" Liang Han asked strangely.

Hao Re was not too clear, he guessed, "Is it because they are curious and want to buy it?"

"You just said that many netizens asked?"

"Well, there are more than 2000 people involved in this topic."

"It's normal for readers to be curious, but it's not normal for more than 2000 people to participate in this topic."

The online section of their magazine is directly grafted to the Zero Zero website. There is a topic discussion mode in this section. A certain netizen raises a topic, and other netizens can participate in the topic discussion.

The Zero Zero One website is not a social networking site, so generally not many people participate in topic discussions.

In the past, netizens called for a 5000-episode topic, and only more than [-] netizens participated.

This is really strange, are domestic netizens too idle?You must watch the overseas version.

Let alone how many people can read the overseas version, let’s just say that the content of the overseas version is basically the same as that of the domestic version, readers like them should have read it.

It is also impossible for the magazine to deliberately sell overseas editions in China, because it is not cost-effective at all.

"Ignore this in advance, let's take a look again, I always feel that this is a bit unusual."

Hao hot point nodded, "Well, I see, then I won't reply for the time being."

"Well, don't reply yet."

……

"Has Zero Zero One Magazine still not responded?" LeBlanc stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the not-so-magnificent city in front of her, and asked the female secretary next to her.

The female secretary shook her head, "No, general manager, I don't think this matter will succeed at all, and the magazine cannot make a decision to lose money."

"Then we should also work hard, otherwise what about the readers in these English-speaking areas in China, not everyone of them can learn complex Chinese characters, should they go to the UK or the US to buy magazines? ?” LeBlanc said righteously.

The female secretary rolled her eyes and looked at the ceiling, "General manager, in fact, if these people don't know Chinese characters, they can also buy them through online shopping. It won't take long, and there is no need to run back."

"Isn't this a joke? Even though I'm in the original location of the magazine, I have to buy the magazine online and from abroad, and if that's the case, I'll be able to read it later than others."

Obviously you want to see it for yourself, but if you insist on saying it is for the overseas students in the English-speaking area, the female secretary is completely speechless to her boss.

In fact, there is an electronic version of "Zero Zero One", but in order not to affect the physical sales, their electronic version usually goes online a week later than the physical version.

But this week, LeBlanc couldn't wait.

So she also frantically bought online trolls to stir up topics, trying to put pressure on the magazine to sell overseas editions in China.

"If I had known earlier, I would not have come to Huaxia, otherwise I should have seen the magazine by now." LeBlanc looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon on Huaxia's side, and the bookstores on the London side were already open.

But if you don't come to Huaxia, you won't have the chance to meet Zhang Zhong.

It's a pity that I didn't have a good relationship with Zhang Zhong, otherwise it should be easy to ask him directly for an English version.

……

When Affleck heard the news that the overseas version was on sale, he wanted to see it too, so he called Zhang Zhong cheekily.

After receiving a call from Affleck, and hearing that it was about the magazine, Zhang Zhong generously asked him to send someone to the company to get it.

Although there is no overseas version sold in China, Chen Qing also has many copies in his hand, all of which are circulated internally. It is not a problem at all to give Affleck one copy.

If LeBlanc knew about this, she would probably be able to understand that people are really different.

……

A day later, the sales data of the overseas version came out soon.

The daily sales of 80 in North America and 20 in the UK may not be a big deal to Zhang Zhong, after all, his books can reach several million in daily sales.

But for an overseas magazine, it is already a record.

There has never been an overseas edition of a domestic magazine that can sell 100 million copies in one day. Even if "Surging Literature" was launched in several languages ​​and released simultaneously in China, it still has not reached this figure.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this sales volume is not because of this magazine, but because of Zhang Zhong, because of the "Harry Potter" that foreigners have not read.

But the first issue of "Harry Potter" disappointed foreign netizens because it was too short.
