Chapter 304: The First Bookseller

With Jiang Wen's lesson, Bai Ke had to be careful when dealing with Zhao Huaiyu.

For Bai Ke, Zhao Huaiyu is a great benefactor.

But for Zhao Huaiyu, Bai Ke is just a classmate of the same grade.

It's too outrageous to do it, and it only makes people uneasy.

After introducing Zhao Huaiyu to the stock market, Bai Ke has been a little apprehensive.

He was worried that Zhao Huaiyu was too deep.

After all, before the mid-90s, the stock market was a place to make money lying down.

But after the mid-90s, almost no one was able to get out of the stock market.

In the late 90s, someone interviewed a millionaire in the stock market.

He was asked, "How did you become a millionaire?" ”

He said: "It's very easy, I took 10 million to the stock market, and after half a year, I became a millionaire." ”

While looking for books for Jiang Wen, Bai Ke came to visit Zhao Huaiyu from time to time.

Inquire about his dominance in the stock market.

Soon, he found himself overwhelmed.

At present, it is very difficult to speculate on stocks in the short term.

Although the provincial capital Industrial and Commercial Bank of China can open an account in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

But it can only be traded by phone, there is no rolling curtain, there is no real-time broadcast, and it is several beats slower.

Perhaps this also indirectly contributed to the fact that the stock market was better in 91 and 92.

Only those who are limited in big cities are speculating in the short term.

Everyone else is reluctant to sell.

So, most people have tasted the sweetness in the past two years.

Zhao Huaiyu is no exception.

It only took him more than half a year to turn the 20,000 or 30,000 yuan invested in the stock market into 100,000 yuan.

Then half of the 100,000 yuan is used for long-term and the other half for short-term and medium-term.

The so-called short and medium term is also a month to buy and sell once or twice.

In addition, most of Zhao Huaiyu's remaining 100,000 yuan was invested in book wholesale.

Zhao Huaiyu rented another room next to his bookstore.

The room was cramped and full of books.

When Bai Ke walked into the room, Zhao Huaiyu was sitting at a table in the corner of the room checking the accounts.

There was a telephone on the table, and the digital machine on his waist had been replaced by a Chinese character machine.

Seeing Bai Ke coming in, Zhao Huaiyu hurriedly beckoned: "Come! Sit." ”

But when I looked around, not only did I have no extra chairs, but there was no extra place at all.

The white guest sat down on a pile of books next to the table.

"I said man, how are you?"

"Oh, so-so, you see there's a bunch of stuff here. ”

Bai Ke looked at the sample books on the table.

"It's a lot of risk. ”

"yes, but half of them are consignment. ”

There are basically no good books on consignment, some social science books, pure literature and the like.

Most of the books I paid for were popular literature by Yishu, Sanmao, Wen Ruian and others.

Flipping through the pages, Bai Ke found a book by Xue Millie.

I couldn't help but laugh.

This is a writer who is in the limelight at the moment.

She wrote a lot of books on women's heads.

What "Female Lead", "Female Special Police", "Female Gambler" and the like.

Almost all of them are big sellers.

Seeing Bai Ke's expression, Zhao Huaiyu couldn't help but ask, "What?

"Of course. ”

"She's a female writer from Hong Kong and Kowloon, right?

"It's very beautiful, there are a few big men who pick their feet. Haha!"

"Really?" Zhao Huaiyu was taken aback.

Don't say that Zhao Huaiyu didn't believe it, Bai Ke was also critted with 10,000 points when he heard that Xue Millie was a few big men who picked their feet.

Because today's young readers are largely fascinated by this fragrant name, and then they love her books.

It's like a truth for later generations to package beautiful writers.

It's just that readers in later generations are not so easy to deceive, and they can't be impersonated by a big man with a picky foot.

Of course, strictly speaking, her books are not too bad, at least they tell a complete story.

It's still better than most of the online literature in later generations.

"I'll go, it turns out that you can still do this. This writer's books are selling very well, and the publishing house is making a lot of money. ”

"Yes, now publishing houses also need to pay attention to economic efficiency. ”

Zhao Huaiyu frowned and thought for a while, his eyes lit up: "Since they can do this, Lao Tzu will also get a few people to try......"

"I think it's okay, the key is to get the right topic. ”

"Yes, these readers have different tastes than Lao Tzu. ”

In fact, it is the same in any era, and old bookworms like Zhao Huaiyu only account for a small percentage.

Nowadays, young people prefer books with a bit of softcore.

For example, the books of popular writers such as Xue Millie and Sil Xiao are more or less soft-erotic.

The publishing industry in this era is still quite relaxed, and many individual bookstalls can play a dozen side games.

There was a time when the streets were full of books selling sketches of the human body.

In the name of art, the book is blatantly sold.

The sales are quite good.

Although Zhao Huaiyu's taste is a bit tricky.

But having been running books for so long, he should have almost mastered the preferences of his readers.

Bai Ke believes that he can curate a best-selling book.

But it's not enough to just choose a topic, you have to find an author to write it.

In the previous life, Bai Ke occasionally carried a few strokes of the pen, wrote some poems, and wrote something.

I have also met several people in the literary circle.

In this life, he has no interest in this aspect at all.

However, there is one person who, like in his previous life, has always maintained contacts with the art world.

That is Sister-in-law Huo.

While Sister-in-law Huo was resting, Bai Ke led Zhao Huaiyu to see him.

Sister-in-law Huo and Feng Qin gave birth to a son, who is now four or five years old.

Sister-in-law Huo is very rare, and she can't wait to hold it in the palm of her hand all the time.

When Bai Ke and Zhao Huaiyu arrived, Sister-in-law Huo was teasing her son, and his son was very clingy to him.

Feng Qin was so good at talking that she reluctantly took it out.

"Brother-in-law, this is my classmate Zhao Huaiyu. ”

"Hello!"

"He's a bookseller now and wants to curate a few books. You see if there is a suitable author. ”

There were quite a lot of literary publications at this time.

Basically every province has a copy.

In addition, some newspapers and magazines have special columns dedicated to literary works.

But there are more literary youths at this time.

Almost everyone is a literary youth.

Five or six out of ten people occasionally write some poetry.

There are many monks and few porridges, and it is not easy to publish works.

Those literary youths who publish their works in newspapers and periodicals are all cool.

Like Sister-in-law Huo, who has published poetry in provincial publications, if he is normal, the literary young woman can step on the threshold of his family.

Zhao Huaiyu is such an individual bookseller, can you invite them?

"As long as you can produce a complete work, it doesn't matter if you have published a work or not. ”

Baike suggested.

Because the so-called writers at this time are exceptionally gifted.

Most rely either on relationships or luck.

The editors of literary magazines have to read a sack of manuscripts every day.

If it's okay and luck, why let him read your manuscript.

Not to mention the first three chapters, the envelope may not be opened.

Hearing Bai Ke say this, Huo Da was full of confidence: "This is easy to find, I'll contact you a few, and let them take a look at the works first." ”

"Yes, let's take a good look at Mr. Zhao. ”

"Don't, don't say that. Zhao Huaiyu touched his head embarrassedly.

"However, the writing is not very important, just be able to explain one thing clearly. The most important thing is not to cripple your hands. ”

"Yes," Bai Ke smiled awkwardly, "Don't be like some people, you can't update a chapter for a long time." ”
