Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: I am a world tycoon

A week after the launch of the English magazine on Hong Kong Island and Singapore and Malaysia, sales basically dropped to dispensable, and finally the total sales were close to 500,000 copies, which may not seem like much, but in fact the data is already very good, and the total number of English readers in these three places is only three or four million.

The success here has also given the British agent a lot of confidence, the first printing of 500,000 copies, this year's British population has reached more than 56 million, 500,000 copies may not seem much, but the agent is also very bold.

In fact, there are not many fiction books that sell more than 1 million copies a year in the UK, but magazines are not the same as novels, magazines are cheaper, and they are generally several times cheaper, so when novels and magazines are combined, and only one novel is published in a magazine, it is very likely that even if the sales are very good.

On August 7, the British version of "Creation Monthly" was officially launched in the United Kingdom, and with the operation of agents, "Creation Monthly" was placed in the most conspicuous position in major bookstores.

There was no special event on the first day of the release, after all, Huang Xiaoyi's pen name is also very well-known on Hong Kong Island, Treasure Island and other places, in the UK, not many people know it, only a few British people know this magazine in advance through friends on Hong Kong Island, Singapore Kapo and Malaysia.

This morning was just an ordinary day for Blackwell's bookstore on Central Street in Oxford, England.

Before opening in the morning, according to the above requirements, the clerk Larena put the new "Creation Monthly" in the most obvious place in the bookstore, and heard the store manager say that the bookstore has entered 800 copies of this Hong Kong Island magazine, and Lariana secretly took it to see it when she got off work last night, but she was fascinated by it, and after reading it, she shed tears and wet the magazines in her hands.

It wasn't until I finished reading the novel that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but fortunately the residence was close to the bookstore, otherwise Larina wouldn't know how to get back from work.

Early in the morning, the clerks in the store were already at work as normal, and a few customers entered the bookstore.

"Hey, any new book recommendations today?" a young girl in her twenties walked in and asked casually when she saw Larina.

Chrissy, a young girl who was a student at Oxford, rented a room next to Blackwell's bookshop, had a habit of going to the bookstore every morning before going to school, buying a good new book and leaving if it didn't.

"I recommend this "Creation Monthly", I think it is very good, you can try to read it. Larina recommended.

"Oh? Magazine, what a strange name. Chrissy picked it up, looked at it roughly, and since she still had to go to school, she hurriedly bought it and rushed to school.

"Genesis Monthly" magazine is priced at £1 a copy in the UK, which is not a high price, so Chrissy bought it directly, and she has also asked Larina to recommend books before, which are very good.

1 pound is converted into Hong Kong dollars, which is about 10 yuan, in fact, with a 30% commission, Chen Zhixue also has a profit of 3 yuan, which is no different from being on Hong Kong Island.

Until noon, due to the small number of customers at Blackwell's bookstore this morning, the "Creation Monthly" only sold more than 50 copies, and the customers were mainly students or young people.

When Chrissy returned to school, she took out her magazine and read it before the teacher came to class.

Looking at it, Chrissy gradually became fascinated, until the teacher came to class, she didn't pay attention at all, and only during the recess did she finish reading the entire magazine novel, at this time her eyes were already red, and tears fell down uncontrollably, which also alarmed the surrounding classmates.

"Why are you crying, is Jack bullying you?" asked Maria, who was at the table, worriedly, and some people next to her came over to comfort Chrissy.

"No, I was moved by reading the novel, this magazine novel is so good, but the ending is a bit sadistic, so I can't help but shed tears. Chrissy wiped away her tears and said she was fine.

"Is it really that pretty, show me. Maria, who was at the same table, took the magazine with some curiosity.

When Maria finished reading it, she was also moved to tears, which attracted the attention of the whole class, and many of them decided to go to the bookstore after class to buy a copy and read it.

Something similar is happening across the UK.

In the evening, the major bookstores miraculously discovered something, more and more customers inquired about the "Creation Monthly", and some bookstores that did not have many stocks were quickly sold out, so they placed orders with the agents.

The agent who received the data feedback was both surprised and annoyed, because he did not have the stock and did not continue printing after the printing house had printed 50 copies, because he thought that 500,000 copies would be sold for at least a few days.

More and more calls came to him, and he realized the seriousness of the matter, the magazine was really a big seller, and he quickly ordered the printing house to print, but printing magazines is not as simple as newspapers, where can they be printed so quickly, so the next day, the major bookstores and newsstands in Britain, almost all of them are out of stock, except for a small part of the business itself is very average, and some of them are not sold out.

The readership of "The First Close Contact" is very clear, students and young people in society, this group is very large, after the publicity of readers who have read the novel, this novel has become popular in major campuses and society, from the upper grades of primary school to college, from young people in factories to white-collar workers in the workplace, there is no doubt that "First Close Contact" is on fire.

The agent regretted and was excited, regretting why he didn't print more, and he was excited that this cooperation with Yan Sibo was too right, and this magazine would definitely bring him a lot of money.

On the third day, the "Creation Monthly" continued to be supplied normally, and this time the agents did not dare to stop the printing plant again, but worked overtime 24 hours a day to print; judging from the market reaction, this is all money, and more than 10 million students in Britain are potential buyers!

No one thought that a Hong Kong Island magazine would actually become popular in Britain, and this phenomenal performance directly appeared in the headlines of the British media, and the major news media reported it one after another, leading to the knowledge of the "Creation Monthly" The number of people is also increasing.

In this way, after a week of continuous sales of Genesis Monthly, the British National Council announced the latest round of book sales rankings, and the Genesis Monthly on the list topped the list with a whopping 3.8 million copies sold.

It became popular, and there was a trend of reading "The First Close Contact" throughout the United Kingdom, and even after reading it, readers still like to discuss the plot of the novel with their friends.

As one of the most important birthplaces of modern Western culture, Britain will naturally attract the attention of national media such as France, Germany, and the United States, and they have begun to pay attention to the magazine "Creation Monthly" and have obtained a British version of "Creation Monthly" through their own channels to study it.
