The nine-hour flight time is exhausting. Even though Zhang Chu has slept in first class for most of the time, he is still extremely sleepy.

What’s even more terrifying is that after returning to China, I encountered the peak of returning to the city. The entire airport was almost full of people, and all kinds of transportation were blocked.

Zhang Chu's car was parked at the airport for almost a week, and the windows and glasses were covered with dust. After paying the expensive parking fee, he slowly drove onto the highway.

It is now nine o'clock in the morning in Yanjing time, but the entire highway has become a large parking lot. It has obviously gone to the airport No. 2 Expressway, but it still has not escaped the traffic jam.

The driving was extremely slow. It might have been dozens of meters in more than ten minutes. There were still vehicles coming in front of him. Zhang Chu now wants to take a helicopter home!

The traffic flow in Beijing was very large, and many vehicles rolled down the window and looked forward. The distance above the map navigation was simply red and black.

"Oh, I'd taken the subway back if I had known it. Even if I had to transfer a few times, it would be better than being blocked on the road."

Zhang Chu put his hand on the steering wheel and complained weakly.

The driver is prone to getting angry when traffic jams are stuck, so he simply turns on the traffic radio to hear what has happened in China recently.

However, at this time, the expressway, which turned into a parking lot, began to move at a speed. Zhang Chu said in his heart and started the car and followed.

It turned out that there was an accident between a car and a medium-sized truck in front of me. I guess I wanted to change lanes and overtake but I ran into it, and directly occupied one and a half lanes.

The traffic police are now directing the scene, allowing the vehicles behind to pass through in an orderly manner.

He used to be home in an hour, but now Zhang Chu hastily returned to Bishui Yuntian Community before twelve o'clock. He now has a thought, which is to lie on the sofa and have a good rest.

But when he opened the door, he was stunned!

Why does matcha appear on the carpet at the door, and why does the room have the aroma of food?

"You are finally back. We are still worried that you have eaten outside. Put down your things and wash your hands to eat." Chu Lan, wearing an apron, began to give orders unswervingly.

Zhang Chu was a little confused. He lifted the box in, then picked up the matcha and rubbed it wildly. He hadn't seen this guy for a month and looked a little thinner. I hope it was just an illusion.

"Why are you here in Yanjing?"

Zhang Bowen took the book out of the study and walked out, "Your mother saw that you earned 100 million yuan and was afraid that you would learn bad things. She came here to knock and knock, and then sent the cat to you. Now your mother is taking the sixth grade students. I want to prepare the location and decoration of the new store, and I don't have time to raise a cat."

"I'm going to open a new store so soon? The expansion is quite fast!"

Hanlinxuan Bookstore now has three stores in Jiangcheng, and now it is going to open another one, which is really beyond imagination.

"Not to mention that more and more people are buying books now, and our Hanlinxuan is quite famous in Jiangcheng. He has become an internet celebrity bookstore and he still has some extra money in his hands." Zhang Bowen was very proud of his small career, "But there are signs of saturation now. This is the last branch in Jiangcheng, and he will have to expand to other cities in the future."

Chu Lan glared at the father and son, "Eat first, chat while eating, and it will be cold in a while!"

Zhang Bowen patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder and said, "You are the signboard of our bookstore. As long as you continue to write books, I will have the confidence to open the bookstore to the United States."

"Old man, just be appropriate. Be careful to brag about the sky!" Zhang Chu saw the news two days ago that the second largest bookstore in the United States is on the verge of bankruptcy. Now he has a high chance of losing money when opening a bookstore in the United States.

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the matcha in his arms, and then used it to post on Weibo, but the text and content was seriously inconsistent.

["Da Vinci Password" has been pre-sale in various online bookstores. There are three different versions for everyone to choose from. The illustration version just found the pictures and is estimated to be launched in November. The advertising fee is to show you cat movies, real cat movies (￣︶￣)]

I haven't seen Matcha for a long time. It's rare to share its beauty with netizens. Promoting pre-sales is a political task assigned to him by Gu Xinxue, and it must be completed!

...

After dinner, Zhang Chu went to take a shower, then fell on the bed and took a nap.

In fact, he doesn’t need to make a jet lag, it’s just because he’s too tired to fly and drive!

The familiar wake-up method once again woke him up from his sleep. Matcha ran to Zhang Chu's pillow and shrank into a ball. The hair made him sneeze several times.

I was a little arrogant before, but now I am here to my door obediently?

After Zhang Chu yawned, he opened the curtains with the curtain remote control, let Qiufeng blow into the room, and blew his slightly cloudy head to wake up.

But now I don’t want to get up at all, I just want to stay in bed and enjoy the last tail of the holiday.

So I simply leaned on the pillow to play with my phone. I played a game of exciting battlefield but found it boring, so I opened Weibo.

As expected, the client's message prompts that the number is no longer visible, but it is all red dots anyway.

Faced with Matcha, which has been missing for more than a month, these fans have an old mother mentality after seeing it. Why did our baby lose weight?

"I have placed an order to buy the Chinese-English comparison version. It is said that in addition to the protagonist of this book, the story mainly takes place in Europe. I believe Zhang Chuda's translation."

"The pre-sale looks pretty good. Buy the paperback version first, and buy it back and collect it after the illustration version is launched. Another thing is to say, please do not spoil, don't spoil it!"

"After October 10, if anyone announces the Da Vinci password online, don't blame me for turning against me, and you will report it all at that time!"

"It seems that in order to prevent spoilers, I have to be out of the internet for a while."

"If you really like "The Da Vinci Code", remember to recommend it to friends around you~~The pre-sale volume of novels has reached 420,000, which has exceeded the pre-sale of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue". We are constantly breaking Zhang Chu's pre-sale record!"

"If the little cuties have not made reservations yet, you can participate in the reservation now. You can also give a poster when ordering books at the official Hanlin Culture Media store."

Zhang Chu didn’t know whether the fans behind him were tap water or the company’s water army, but those who could call on others to buy books to support him must be good fans!

The current booking speed surprised him a bit. The pre-sale of 400,000 yuan for Ghost Blowing Light was so easily exceeded?

There are two days left before the official release, can we sprint to a million or even more numbers?

If the data is true, then "Da Vinci Password" will significantly break the record!

Regarding the hot book "The Da Vinci Code", not only fans are paying attention to its sales, but even industry insiders are concerned.

What kind of trend can a work that has received a prepayment fee of over 100 million yuan, and the works that have just topped the Twitter discussion trend list not long ago.

"Kaojuan Books" is a website that is more professional in tracking book sales in China. They will publish some information about the book industry based on real-time data.

Now this account cannot wait to release the data: "As of 3:30 pm on October 7, the three versions of "Da Vinci Code" have exceeded 400,000 on the Internet, officially surpassing "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Jingjue Ancient City", becoming Zhang Chu personally, and also the work with the largest number of pre-sales by domestic writers! According to experts' predictions, this work is expected to become the first work of Chinese novels with pre-sales of over one million, creating new market incentives!"

In fact, it is normal to have this data. Before the physical book "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was released, Zhang Chu's popularity was incomparable to now.

Although he wrote several books at that time, he was still far from the front line!

The pre-sale of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is entirely driven by the novel serialization. The novel is stuck halfway through the serialization. If readers want to read it, they can only buy books.

It is precisely because a series of novels such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light" brought his popularity to the point that the glory of "The Da Vinci Code" is now available!

Plant trees in the previous work, and enjoy the coolness in the new work!

China has a large population, but not many people often buy books, so it is so much inferior to the United States in book sales.

The large-scale pre-sale surpassing is enough to show readers' love for this book. The reason why readers are willing to spend money now is mainly due to Zhang Chu's fame and quality assurance.

Of course, more passers-by need to spend money to buy books after their reputation comes out. At that time, the name of "Da Vinci Code" was spread before it could attract more people!

"Matcha, now I've bought you a big villa. In a few days, I'll see which house is more suitable."

After the copyright of novels in more than 20 countries was sold, Zhang Chu charged different prepaid fees from these publishing companies according to the number of printings.

Although no publishing company gave a big figure of 12 million pounds, they still surpassed Random House together, which looked almost 18 million US dollars!

Zhang Chul earned so much prepaid manuscript fees with "The Da Vinci Code", and the copyrights of the other books have been sold one after another, so he should be the author with the largest transaction volume at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Thanks to China's good rule that no double taxes are collected, Hanlin Culture Media can take the tax certificate back to China to pay part of the tax, and there is no need to pay twice as much as writers in other countries!

When an individual's monthly income is around 80,000, the personal income tax rate is 45%, which means that almost half of it must be paid.

But the manuscript taxes for writers are different. No matter how much they are, the tax rate is around 12%. It may be a bit unprofitable when the income is small, but after the income is too high, it is much more comfortable than personal income tax!

When a writer sets up a company, the amount of tax paid will even be further reduced, which falls within the scope of legal tax avoidance.
Chapter completed!
