Chapter 302, Southwest Bookstore

It was almost dark before returning to Rongcheng, and several people hurriedly made an appointment for a hot pot, and the spicy and fragrant taste made several people's appetites soar, and even Zhou Sihui ate a lot.

I went home and took a shower, sat down in front of the computer and started coding.

Take advantage of the time you have in the past few days to write the second part of Harry Potter as soon as possible, otherwise when Saoirse comes to Huaxia, she will not be so idle.

The night is getting deeper, and the lights in the community are dimming little by little, only Ye Kai's room is bright all night, and the keyboard sound is constant.

............

It took a few days for Ye Kai to write both the English and Chinese versions of Harry Potter Part II, during which Beifeng's people also arrived in Rongcheng and talked with Ye Kai about some endorsement issues.

They really valued Ye Kai's fame in the travel circle.

The endorsed Qian Ye Kai actually didn't care very much, mainly because one of their terms made Ye Kai very excited, that is, Sun Shang said before that they would prepare a vehicle for Ye Kai at the place where Ye Kai traveled.

In other words, you don't need to rent a car to travel in the future.

Beifeng is a big brand, don't look at it as a domestic car, but there are sales channels in many places abroad, so Ye Kai doesn't need to rent a car to go to many places abroad.

Ye Kai likes this very much, make a phone call before getting on the plane, and someone will drive to the airport to pick you up after getting off the plane, and send you a car.

This is the treatment that only big bosses have, right?

And the advertisement is also very simple, there is no need to say anything, just find an open place in Rongcheng and drive a car in a suit, and the dubbing or something is also done by Beifeng Motor.

Ye Kai only hopes that it won't be the kind of advertisement that is popular all over the world.

Three days after the filming of the commercial, July 1.

Today is also very important for Ye Kai.

Saoirse on summer vacation?

No...... Not exactly, in addition to Saoirse's summer vacation today, there is another thing that Ye Kai is very concerned about, that is, the Chinese version of Harry Potter has finally begun to sell.

There is no need to test the waters of selling in a separate bookstore.

There is no need to test the waters of this book's status now, a total of 800,000 Harry Potter copies have been prepared these days, and Puri Culture has directly made a big deal and distributed it all over the country in one go.

It seems like a lot, but it is scattered all over the country, and this book can't even make a splash.

China's territory is not comparable to that of the British.

Rongcheng Southwest Bookstore.

This bookstore is located near Chunxi Road and is one of the top ten book cities in the country, and this is where Ye Kai often comes, and he buys books here.

But I didn't come here today to buy books.

Ye Kai is wearing a black T-shirt and a white baseball cap, and if he presses his head a little, others will not see what you look like, and today he came here to see how his book sells in Huaxia.

Thanks to the fact that Ye Kai lives in Rongcheng and is a native of Sichuan Province, the Southwest Bookstore has the largest purchase volume among bookstores in the country.

He not only sells books, but even the transit point of the entire Sichuan book industry, if the books in other places are sold out, the goods are also picked up in this place.

When Ye Kai came, the bookstore had already opened, and there was already a long queue at the front desk after entering, and there were many women in the queue, about 4:6, maybe a little more.

The Huaxia book market is still a fan economy, and many of the first batch of people to buy this book are Ye Kai's die-hard fans.

Looking at Ye Kai's photos, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many women in hardcore fans.

Passing the lines and heading inside, the most conspicuous place is the new book desk on the first floor of the bookstore, which used to sell mainly new and bestsellers, but today there is only one book.

That's Harry Potter.

The rest of the books were all placed on other bookcases.

Some people go to the front desk to pay the bill and buy books with books, and some people stand nearby with books to read and watch slowly.

For each of these trial books, three or five people gathered together to read them.

This book is not as cheap as Ye Kai's previous two books, and the price in the UK is so expensive, Huaxia can't set a price of 20 yuan or 30 yuan, right?

Two days ago, it landed in the United States, and the price was 11.9 US dollars, which is almost 85 yuan when converted into Huaxia dollars.

Ye Kai walked to the new desk and took out a book, the cover of the book was not much different from the British one, but all the English characters had been turned into Chinese characters, and the title of the book was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Looking at the back, the white price tag reads 58.

Many people who came specifically for this book talked about it.

"It's so expensive, isn't this a money grab?"

"The foreign pricing is much more expensive than the domestic one, the United Kingdom and the United States sell seventy or eighty, and the domestic one sells fifty-eight, you are still content. ”

The person who said that books were expensive before blushed and said, "Can that be the same? Foreigners have a lot of money, so they have to consider the national situation." ”

In fact, it is already very cheap, and now Ye Kai's book fan group is not limited to China, but has also accumulated a lot abroad. If the difference between domestic and foreign prices is too large, Ye Kai himself will also be affected.

Domestic consumption is actually not low, Apple is so expensive in China, there are still a lot of die-hard fans.

In fact, the concept has not changed, compared with the United Kingdom, Huaxia does not have the habit of reading paper books, and domestic piracy fakes and rampant also affect people's desire to buy genuine copies.

A few dozen yuan is just one or two meals, and two less stir-fried vegetables can be made up, and 58 yuan can't even buy a skin in a game.

Ye Kai walked around the bookstore for a while, holding a copy of Harry Potter and standing at the end of the line.

There were about thirty or forty people in front, and seventy percent of them were holding Harry Potter in their hands, and the people standing in front of Ye Kai had even opened the book and read it.

Haven't paid the bill yet......

However, others saw that he was already lining up to buy, and no one came to say anything.

He kept looking down at the book, and nodded as if he suddenly realized: "So that's the case, this brain hole is amazing!"

Ye Kai asked curiously, "What's the matter, is this book okay?"

The man glanced at Ye Kai, didn't look at Ye Kai's face carefully, nodded and said, "Can it be on the British bestseller list, do you say it's okay?" But this book is really orthodox in the West, and I don't know how Ye Kai wrote it. ”

"Maybe it's luck?"

I didn't think much about it before, but now Ye Kai feels that it is really luck that he can write such a book, and if he is given ten dares, Ye Kai does not dare to think that this book can become popular all over the world.

"Huh. The man laughed twice, and looked at Ye Kai also holding a copy of Harry Potter, and prompted, "If you are not used to reading the West, you don't need to buy it, after all, the price of this book is indeed a bit expensive." ”

There are very few domestic ones that exceed 40 yuan, and 40 seems to be a dividing line, and all of them are written by some famous books or world-class writers.

Of course, this price is only for you.
