"Is there any more bad news? Just lay it all out." Sir Brown looked at Hellefi, who seemed hesitant, and spoke slowly.
"Hmm... does sales data count?"
Hellefi opened the cover page of The Little Prince and pulled out a note: "I just called a friend in the publishing industry and got its first-week sales data."
"How many books are expected to be sold, 20,000 copies? 30,000 copies?"
The chairperson already had an uneasy feeling and unfolded the note in his hand.
"Hard to say, because the first week isn't over yet, but I think it should be more than that."
Sir Brown stared at the data on the note and fell silent.
[Day 1: 12,296 copies]
[Day 2: 7,531 copies]
[Day 3: 6,212 copies]
[Day 4: 6,197 copies]
[Day 5: 5,621 copies]
[Total: 37,857 copies]
"Nearly 40,000 books sold in the first five days, which should already set a new record for the best-selling fairy tale book in history. And this is only the sales performance in the United Kingdom."
