Chapter 268: Crazy Robbery

"Okay, I know, okay, sure, I know. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's it, I'm going to get in the car. ”

"Will definitely bring it back. ”

The man in the suit and leather shoes hung up the phone, sighed, then put the phone in his pocket and hurriedly caught the oncoming bus.

"Isn't it just a fairy tale, and what's the use of taking the afternoon off. The man in the suit didn't care.

Bad luck today, there is no seat, this bus is at his current station, it is the third station that belongs to the starting station, whether there is a place depends on luck, but it is very unfortunate that he is unlucky today.

The name of the man in the suit and leather shoes is Wang Biao, a very ordinary name, of course, he is also a very ordinary small low-level pipe, if he didn't pay the down payment for the house first, Wang Biao could have bought a car, but there is no if in the world, so he only honestly squeezes the bus now.

"Eh, have you heard, Han Gongzi's new book is on the market in the magic capital today, you must support it, after all, there are very few people in this country who are as smart as me, and I want to support it for this. ”

"Do you still want face? Do you still want face? And you can't buy "The Little Prince" now, I read the latest announcement of the Magic Capital Publishing House, although the Little Prince is on sale nationwide today, but it is divided into regional periods, for example, the mountain city is on the shelves at 9 o'clock in the morning, the capital is 10 o'clock in the morning, and our magic capital is 3 o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Huh, why is this the case, generally not the same time across the country?"

"I don't know, maybe the little prince is too popular, so he only divides the time, I don't know the specifics. ”

"Jiao, I didn't expect the Demon Capital Publishing House to be such a publishing house, and I went to the Great Demon Capital in the afternoon. ”

……

There are also two young men in the car talking about Han Gongzi and "The Little Prince", which is enough to prove that "The Little Prince" is very popular now.

Wang Biao understood, when he got up early this morning, his wife told him that he must grab "The Little Prince", and his son likes to watch it.

And from last night to this morning, I was reminded a total of eight times, not counting the phone call just now, it was nine times.

"It's too exaggerated, you have to queue up to buy it, and it's not a TV series, in reality, how can there be books that can't be bought in bookstores, it's really too much of a fuss. Wang Biao disagreed.

However, he now understands why his wife asked him to take leave in the afternoon, and it turns out that the magic capital was only on sale at three o'clock in the afternoon.

As the team leader, Wang Biao is very busy every day, even for lunch, he just eats casually until he gets off work at six o'clock in the evening.

In fact, Wang Biao's work is very boring, but Wang Biao is also energetic every day, just like Carnegie said: our fatigue is usually not due to the work itself, but to worry, nervousness and unhappiness.

"I remember there was a bookstore right next to the station. Wang Biao thought about it and said, the company is still a few minutes away from the station.

On the road, Wang Biao walked faster and faster, he was also a little worried, whether he really had to queue up, and when he finally arrived at the station, Wang Biao also trotted a little.

Take a look at the place.

"I said, there will definitely be no queue or anything, a fairy tale book, how can it be so exaggerated. When Wang Biao saw the bookstore, not to mention the queue, even the store was not crowded, so he walked in unhurriedly.

"Boss, I want a copy of "The Little Prince"" Wang Biao said, already touching his wallet and preparing to pay the bill.

"It's been sold out a long time ago, and "The Little Prince" has long been sold out, isn't there a sign written on the door?" said the boss.

Wang Biao looked out the door, a homemade wooden board with a red marker pen written: ["The Little Prince" has been sold out, our store has submitted the book to the publishing house, it is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon, please forgive me for the inconvenience. ]

"Finished buying?" Wang Biao was incredulous, and subconsciously asked, "Boss, what's the situation?" ”

"Quite a few, "The Little Prince" has 80 copies, even if it is an ordinary bestseller, it is enough to sell for a week, but this "The Little Prince" went on sale at three o'clock, and it was sold out at half past three. The boss said: "The sales are really good, and this Han Gongzi's last book "Pinocchio" is also, I remember that more than 200 copies have been sold here by me." ”

In reality, it is indeed impossible to queue up in bookstores, also because of the particularity of bookstores, but in reality, the situation that bookstores will appear is that they are sold out, after all, a book, even if it is a bestseller, is only a few dozen copies in each bookstore warehouse, and there are only 100 copies in the sky.

The boss was very talkative, he said: "I heard that this author is only seventeen years old, which is really amazing." ”

Well, Wang Biao doesn't want to know what will happen to this author now, he just wants to know where to buy this book, but he promised to buy it back.

"Boss, where can I buy "The Little Prince" now. Wang Biao asked.

"Now, if I think about it, there is a Xinhua bookstore on West Road in front of me...... However, this matter is also a bit hanging. The boss touched a few beards on his chin and said, "Otherwise, you have to go to the Octagon Bookstore on Wanhong Road, which is the main store of the Octagon Bookstore, and there should be." ”

Wanhong Road, from where he is now, is still a little far, more intuitively, the taxi fee is more than 20 yuan.

"Thank you to the owner. ”

There was no way, or only to go, Wang Biao took a taxi and went straight to the main store of Octagon Bookstore.

Although the Octagon Bookstore is not as wide as the Xinhua Bookstore, it is also one of the top five chain bookstores in China, and the main store located in the magic capital is of course large.

The fourth, fifth, sixth, and third floors of the Vanke Building were all leased by the Octagon Bookstore, and although only the fourth and fifth floors were opened, they were quite large.

Wang Biao went upstairs and said to the service staff straight to the point: "I want to buy a copy of "The Little Prince", please ask if there is any." ”

The polite waitress in a black uniform said: "Sorry sir, the last two copies of "The Little Prince" have been bought by the two gentlemen in front of them just now, and now they are in the stage of being sold out, sir, you can choose another book, just like "Pinocchio". ”

"No thanks. ”

Wang Biao's egg hurts, and even the main store of the Octagon Bookstore is out of stock, and this publishing house doesn't know how to print more.

He caught up with the two people who bought the last two copies of "The Little Prince" in front of him, and the detailed conversation process will not be repeated, anyway, in the end, it was at a high price, coupled with bitter persuasion, he finally bought a copy of "The Little Prince".

The merit is complete, and the task is accomplished.

Dragging his tired body, Wang Biao got on the bus home, but fortunately there was a place, and he sat on the seat of the test stall.

"A fairy tale, don't be so exaggerated. Wang Biao looked at the book, just this book, it took him a lot of energy today, as well as soft sister coins.

"What the hell is good about this book. ”
