Chapter 30
This time, he could no longer miss it!
Soon, Machine Industry Press operated up and down.
Proofreading, typesetting, and other work were all carried out in an orderly manner. Not long after, the floral-shirt editor-in-chief released the cover in advance on the official channel.

As soon as the news came out, countless netizens swarmed in.
"Just waiting for you, hurry up and release it!"
"Already ordered 100 copies, friends and family are all waiting for me!"
"I plan to pass it on to my descendants, and in the future, I will pat the child's head and announce that Grandpa once witnessed history..."
"Uh, sorry, I clicked on the avatar upstairs, you are a single person?! Where did the descendants come from?!"
"Front row, are you polite? How ruthless... don't say much, order 100 copies!"
…
When the floral-shirt editor-in-chief started to count the pre-sale order quantity of netizens, he simply couldn't believe his eyes.
Within just one month, the pre-sale volume of 'The Old Man and the Sea' actually reached 1.1 million!
And the pre-sale volume of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' was not inferior, reaching 1.08 million!
You know, the difference between books is greater than the difference between humans and dogs!
For ordinary bestsellers, it's not bad to sell 50,000 copies a year.
After all, everyone loves reading e-books now, who is willing to spend money to buy a paper version?
Isn't free stuff great?!
Secondly, it's intermediate bestsellers, selling 200,000 copies a year, which is also a quite good achievement.
And the most popular is the super bestseller, with annual sales exceeding 1 million copies, which is an achievement that one doesn't even dare to dream of!
But the problem is that super bestsellers are hard to come by, and you might not be able to encounter a few in ten years.
Nowadays, the pre-sale volume of 'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' has already exceeded 1 million each in just one month?!
Then how many records will the annual sales break?!
The floral-shirt editor-in-chief's eyes lit up completely.
An idea popped up uncontrollably.
Buying the copyright of these two books might be the wisest decision he has ever made in his life!
And on the other side, the final selection of the long-awaited Nobel Prize in Literature judging committee began.
"My most optimistic choice this time is 'Criminal Pervert' from the United States."
"Dear judges, I think 'Brain Disease' from the Neon country is good..."
Watching one judge after another choose the masterpiece in their hearts, Jackson also stood up.
"Everyone, why not consider these two books from China?" ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
