Chu Lan bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk leisurely, she didn't need to go to work on New Year's Day, she planned to send breakfast to her husband.

Zhang Bowen was in a hurry to leave in the morning, and he was in a hurry to go to the bookstore to open for business, thinking that he must not have had breakfast.

People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

With nothing to do left and right, Chu Lan decided to be a virtuous wife for a day.

The bookstore downstairs is too small, and the location is not good, and the sales are not as good as the newly opened bookstore.

Walking and stopping all the way, when Chu Lan came to the outside of Hanlinxuan Bookstore, he was almost taken aback, how could it feel like it was full of people!

There are people of all ages, from parents and grandparents who bring their children to buy books, to middle school students with school bags, and some young people.

They were scattered in the corners of the bookstore, wandering in front of the bookshelves, and there was a long queue in front of the cash register.

"There is no promotion today, why are there so many people?"

Chu Lan hurriedly walked in, and at a glance, she saw that Zhang Bowen was nervously scanning the code to collect money and bag it in the cashier at this moment, so she asked, "Do you need my help?"

In the past, the bookstore downstairs almost never had so many people, even if Zhang Chu got the top prize in the college entrance examination, because the area was too small to accommodate it.

Zhang Bowen glanced up at Chu Lan, and he said quickly: "You come to help me collect the money, and I'll call to transfer the goods." ”

"Okay. ”

Chu Lan usually takes care of the bookstore occasionally, and she is quite familiar with such things as collecting money, so she takes it over in an orderly manner.

At this time, Zhang Bowen didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly trotted to the warehouse to see which books were about to be out of stock.

"Hello, a total of 21 yuan, do you have a penny change?"

Chu Lan asked with a smile, she happened to have a copy of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Exquisite Ancient City" in front of her, and she had only been a cashier for a few minutes, and she had already sold three books written by her son, which made her feel as comfortable as eating honey.

One or two, the more you go to the back, the more numb she becomes, Chu Lan doesn't know how many barcodes she scanned, anyway, today's sales are exceptionally strong, and she can only take a break and drink saliva occasionally.

"Today's New Year's Day, everyone came to buy books, are they going to give us a performance?" The cashier girl on the side took a sip of water and said to Chu Lan: "The boss must send a big red envelope today!"

"Yes, hostess, your son's books are quite popular, and I have sold more than twenty copies here, and you must be about the same. It's only been half a day. ”

By noon, there were fewer customers, which gave them a little time to chat, and the female employee who did the cleaning also came over to chat.

Chu Lan smiled, and she replied, "It's just that we can sell it here, and the whole country doesn't know how it sells." ”

She is just a modest statement, she can't exaggerate herself, just let others praise her son.

The location of this new store is very good, it is located next to the shopping plaza, and the subway exit is twenty meters away from the door, and the traffic is quite large!

Zhang Bowen didn't even have time to eat breakfast, he was contacting the supplier at this time, there were more than 400 copies of the physical book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" left, and he was not in a hurry for the time being, but the rest of the books were also selling well.

Just as he was looking from one bookshelf to another, an elderly man with a child called out to him, "This comrade, do you know where the Peppa Pig storybook is?"

"On the bookshelf over there, there are a lot of copies of Peppa Pig, so you can choose your own. Zhang Bowen pointed to the bookshelf not far away, where the children's book section was the most popular place in the bookstore.

The gray-haired old man smiled, "Thank you, and I want to ask where is the ghost blowing the lantern? I listened to the radio and told ghost stories before, but I didn't finish the rest of the story." When I was a child, I heard stories from my elders about tomb robbing, but at that time they were talking about digging sweet potatoes, not inverting buckets. ”

Zhang Bowen can't laugh or cry, I hope the old man has a strong psychological endurance, don't be frightened when watching "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" or listening to the radio!

"Wait a minute, I'll help you get a ghost blowing lamp. ”

"Ouch, that's too much trouble, thank you. ”

From sixty or seventy-year-old people to thirteen or fourteen-year-old junior high school students, the readership of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is quite wide!

……

Similar to the situation of Jiangcheng Hanlinxuan Bookstore, bookstores all over the country have successively put "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on the shelves, after all, the distribution ability of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House is quite strong.

Whether it is the Xinhua bookstore with the largest coverage and stores, or the rest of the private petty bourgeois bookstores such as Sisyphus, supernatural works like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can even be put on the shelves.

It's not easy for physical bookstores to make money now, and it's hard to come across a work that can sell well, and of course you can't let it be missed in vain!

The publishing house has printed 800,000 physical copies for the first time, and now the supply is quite sufficient, but it can't stand the fact that bookstores across the country have asked for restocking.

It's only been sold for half a day, and some of the more conservative bookstores have sold out of stock, who made them too timid for fear of being unsalable, so they only bought ten or twenty books!

Not everyone has the confidence to hold 500 books like Zhang Bowen.

When I first got the goods, the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was still only on the Internet, and many stores were more cautious.

Now they have discovered that the popularity of this book has come to reality, and there seems to be a trend of phenomenal works!

People talk about it when they walk, they talk about it when they get in the car, and they still talk about it when they chat online.

Physical bookstores love this type of work that can drive the sales of the rest of the book, and many anxious readers also need to go to physical bookstores to buy books to read.

They don't like e-books, they prefer the traditional way of reading paper books, but they are only released today, and even if they buy them online, it will take a day or two to get them.

So going out to a physical bookstore is the best choice, and many otaku choose to go out on this day, not to embrace nature, just to see the follow-up content quickly!

Propaganda in many ways, now is the harvest season.

The Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House smiled from ear to ear, it was not in vain that they signed such a high royalty with Zhang Chu, and now it seems that everything is worth it.

The only sorrow is that the contract is only signed for such a one, and there are seven more behind "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!

It is no exaggeration to say that a set of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can feed a small publishing house.

Now Zhang Chu is a cash cow in the eyes of the publishing company, and everyone knows that the Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House only has a priority, and it does not really tie Zhang Chu up.
