Walking out of the building where Menglong Culture Media Company is located, Zhang Chu was not in a hurry to go home, he planned to find a bookstore to buy some books and read them back.

Who made their own bookstore thousands of miles away, and the campus branch of Yan University has not even renovated the house, let alone renovated and opened.

Having been running a bookstore for so long, he has become accustomed to going to a physical bookstore to support the business, rather than buying from an online bookstore.

The central business district is crowded, the decoration of various luxury stores looks brilliant, the golden sunlight is sprinkled on the glass, and many beautiful women have put on shorts to show off their slender legs.

Zhang Chu did not choose to go to a popular bookstore like Xinhua Bookstore, but after searching on the Internet, he stood at the door of this bookstore called Sanlian Taofen Bookstore!

People who are engaged in the literary world will always have some respect when they see the word "triptych".

Whether it is a publishing house or a Sanlian Taofen bookstore, it is a representative of the conscience of the industry that will never disappoint.

When I arrived at the bookstore, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and although it was a weekday, the store was still quite lively.

Obviously, Sanlian is not taking the route of a literary bookstore, and a lot of effort is used to classify books, not those decorations that are not there, and there is absolutely no problem of being useless.

This is obviously the object of Zhang Chu's reference, and the Hanlin Xuanyan Branch is to take this kind of combination of practicality and beauty, and it is impossible to learn from Fang Suo.

The main books of Sanlian Taofen Bookstore are concentrated on the basement floor, the first floor is mainly new books, recommendation counters and audio-visual products, and the second floor is the Sculpture Time Cafe.

Zhang Chu was not surprised to see the recommendation of his complete works of "Sou Shen Ji" on the first floor, of course, the most sellable works these days can't be hidden in the warehouse!

He glanced over there and then walked downstairs, this time he had come to buy books, not to check on sales.

Downstairs neatly placed next to the bookshelves, and even on the stairs there are young people holding books and reading carefully, Zhang Chu is very curious about what this 24-hour bookstore looks like late at night, there are tables and chairs, there are a bunch of books in the café, and it is simply unreasonable not to experience one!

But this is just thinking about it, Zhang Chu is more accustomed to reading alone in his own nest, and he can read more without the interference of others.

A copy of "Three Thousand Years of Jerusalem", a copy of "The Biography of Du Yuesheng", and a collection of essays "The Taste of the World", he did not have a specific criterion for choosing books, but picked them up when he saw the title of the book and felt interested.

It's not a good thing to be too targeted, and it's better to read a variety of books.

He took the three books in his hand and walked towards the cash register, where he carefully observed the customers around him.

The rent for several floors here is certainly not cheap, and it will certainly be difficult to make a profit if the traffic is not large, but it has an advantage that other bookstores can't match, and that is that it is open 24 hours!

While collecting the money, Zhang Chu casually asked the cashier, "Sister, are there many people here who come to buy books at night?"

The cashier who scanned the barcode while loading the bag said in fluent Kyoto film: "Why not many, there are always many people every night, almost the same as during the day!"

"It's so powerful, it looks like I'm going to have to see it someday. ”

Zhang Chu also pondered in his heart, maybe his Hanlinxuan bookstore could also be made into a 24-hour bookstore, adding a place for Yan University students to read books in the middle of the night.

It's just that how to do it has to wait for the store manager to be recruited and decided slowly, he is just a hands-off shopkeeper.

Many people think that opening a small bookstore is an elegant thing that is easy to operate, for example, many white-collar workers have the dream of opening a bookstore.

They are looking for a room to rent, find relatives and friends to take care of it, and just ask after work.

Some people even think that parents who are not far from retirement are more suitable for opening a bookstore, which is both leisurely and profitable!

But running a small bookstore to make money is not a low-hanging fruit at all.

If you can't even find the location of the bookstore, then it must have closed down.

In the vicinity of residential areas, it is difficult for academic books to become popular; in supermarkets, books on beauty, food, and leisure are often favored; and in places where migrant workers gather, most of the best-selling books are various magazines, martial arts, and romance books.

Just like here in Huaqiangbei, because there are a large number of IT elites and scientific and technological personnel, books focusing on technology and art are selling quite well!

The operation of a bookstore also needs a variety of small details, such as the purchase channels must be diversified, and it is also necessary to look at the discount purchase, and you can't be hot-headed, and feel that others have a big discount and buy a few more copies back, which is easy to not sell.

Even for the placement of books there are various details, the same book, different placements, may have different effects.

Zhang Chu took a deep breath, he felt that it was a good thing that Hanlin Xuanyanda could maintain the cost line here, and he didn't expect to be able to make a profit in a short period of time!

Carrying a plastic bag, he slowly walked towards the parking garage in the distance, and after thinking about it, he didn't notice that his mobile phone was ringing repeatedly.

It wasn't until he sat in the driver's seat that he took out his phone, and then he was surprised to find that there were two missed calls, from his father.

Zhang Chu put on the Bluetooth headset and dialed the phone, wanting to see what was going on.

"Were you just in class? I don't answer any phone calls. Zhang Bowen asked casually.

"I didn't have classes this afternoon, so I just went to Sanlian Taofen Bookstore to take a look and buy a few books to read by the way. ”

Zhang Bowen didn't get down to business, but asked curiously: "Is that the first 24-hour bookstore in the country? What do you think?"

"That's it, in fact, there are not many special places, but there are a lot of books, and the stairs are full of people. Dad, what the hell are you calling me for?"

"I want you to help me urge the publisher to urge the goods, the 500 sets of "Sou Shen Ji" I bought were all sold out, and I didn't give them to me after calling several times. Moreover, the new edition of "Psychological Crime" has only sent me 200 copies, where is this enough! In addition, there are a few copies taken from their publishing house, and you can help me urge them. ”

Zhang Chu was a little speechless when he heard this, his two books were produced by Nanhai Publishing Company, especially "Psychological Crime" In order to paste the popularity of the movie, he changed the cover of the new version to a movie poster, so that he could circle some money!

Some readers who have more money on hand can't help but buy it again after buying the old version of "Psychological Crime", and now they can't help but buy it again after seeing the new version go on the market, and the content inside is exactly the same.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Isn't it useless for you to come to me for this matter? If they have the goods, they will definitely give you priority." ”

"Bullshit! Every branch of Jiangcheng Xinhua Bookstore has goods, and we can't get them in these small bookstores. They completely prioritize the supply of goods to the big bookstore chains. Now is the best time for those books to sell, and a day of delay will cost you a thousand dollars less. ”

Zhang Bowen rarely came out with swear words, he originally thought that with his son and his relationship with Nanhai Publishing Company, the other party would be a little more tilted, but now it seems that it is not reliable at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll call the editor immediately to reflect the situation, but I guess he can't solve the matter with the ticket. Are those two books really selling that well?"

Zhang Chu was a little curious, a set of "Sou Shen Ji" was one hundred and fifty yuan, and 500 sets were sold out in just one week, not counting the number of books that participated in the pre-sale of books in physical stores.

"Of course, these two books were sold out yesterday, but they have never been available. Otherwise, your father, can I let you urge the Nanhai Publishing Company to go over there?" Zhang Bowen held his mobile phone and laughed heartily: "Speaking of which, you have raised my face, and you don't give the rest of the writers a way to live at all, you did a good job!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chu was also a little proud.

After winning the championship without suspense in the complete works of "Sou Shen Ji" last week, this week's book sales list completely fell under the control of "Psychological Crime"!

The movie is domineering at the box office, with a box office of 200 million per day, but countless audiences across the country have picked it up, and every audience has seen the words "adapted from Zhang Chu's name of the same name" on the big screen.

Now that "Psychological Crime" has successfully pulled down "Sou Shen Ji", 190,000 physical books were sold yesterday on May 3 alone, not counting e-books.

The power of an excellent movie is so strong, and the right promotion works are vividly reflected!

Originally, the bay side didn't look down on "Psychological Crime" at all, but just bought the traditional publishing rights of the rest of the works, and now several publishing houses have contacted Menglong Culture Media Company, and they want to publish it while the movie has not yet been screened in the bay.

If you wait for "Psychological Crime" to get a few nominations at the Golden Horse Awards on the other side of the Gulf, it is estimated that the sales of the traditional Chinese version in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia will have a small peak!

Just like Zhang Bowen said, Zhang Chu has become a cancer on the list, and he doesn't give the rest of the writers a chance at all.

In the past, it was a competition for the first place, but now let alone the first, you can't even grab the second!

"Sou Shen Ji" has only reached the second week of release, and the popularity has been maintained quite well, and the hot screening of "Psychological Crime" has also given it a small advertisement.

Not every moviegoer is willing to spend time to buy a book that already knows the plot, and they set their sights on the rest of Zhang Chu's works.

Obviously, the name Zhang Chu has already begun to become a signboard, and the rest of the works have begun to cheat corpses!

"Sherlock", which also has the color of reasoning and suspense, has originally fallen to tens of thousands of people on the list, but now it is strong enough to appear in the eyes of readers.

Even "Youth Pi" was reprinted once, and it was directly reprinted 300,000 times and sent to various bookstores and online bookstores across the country.
