Chapter 145 Festivals, Rites and Rites (3rd Update!Asking for a Monthly Pass!!)
During the New Year, various statistical mechanisms will lag behind.
In addition, the ordinary edition of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is issued in six volumes this time, some bookstores sell the whole set as a whole, and some bookstores specially take out a part to allow the purchase of separate volumes, which also increases the statistical difficulty in a certain way, so the sales results from the first to the third year of junior high school did not come out in time.
But anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows that the sales must be quite quite terrifying.
Because if it weren't for the appalling sales, how could those bookstores that had already gone on vacation rush to open in the second and third years of junior high school?
Even on the third day of the Lunar New Year, more than 80 bookstores across the country that closed down could not resist the temptation of profits, stopped taking vacations and opened for business. This has never been imagined.
However, everyone's eyes were soon all focused on the hardcover limited edition collection that will be launched on the fourth day of the new year.
This hardcover collection,The same as the previous "Ping Trace" is "limited" and "one-to-one fixed coding",The difference is,Although the statement will not be printed,But it's not out of printγ And because it is said to use the most advanced printing technology and the best quality paper at home and abroad, the price is also much higher, and the six-volume hardcover collection of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is priced at 906 without discount.
This price is very subtle, averaging down to 151 per book.
And the industry-recognized watershed between the pricing of ordinary bestsellers and elite mainstream literature is 150 per volume. Therefore, according to the analysis of industry insiders, this is Jin Liang's tough response to the previous arrogance and prejudice in the so-called elite mainstream literary field.
As for whether this riposte has an effect, it depends on whether the reader thinks you are worth it and whether you buy it.
"Hey, it's Lao Zhang. Today, on the fourth day of the new year, didn't you accompany your daughter-in-law back to her parents' house?"
The two of them went back. I took the time to come over and see the old leader. Lao Zhang stood outside the door and said with a smile.
The old leader was about to invite him in, but when he suddenly saw the thing he was carrying, he couldn't help but point his finger at him, "Lao Zhang, I'm going to criticize you." When did you learn this ethos? I'm glad to be able to come and sit down, what are you doing with all this nonsense. It's not that you don't know my temper, so hurry up and put it back in your car. I'll tell you, we don't want to do this. β
Lao Zhang explained: "The old leader misunderstood. I'm not here for a gift, I'm here for ......."
The old leader waved his hand and interrupted: "Gotta get it, don't go around." Hurry up and take it. Otherwise, I'll be ugly and won't let you in!"
Lao Zhang smiled: "Really let me take it! Old leader, are you sure you don't regret it?"
The old leader became angry: "What do you mean, Zhang Youbao, is it possible that you think I want to capture and indulge! Sue you, if it weren't for my colleagues for more than ten years, I would spit on you, would you believe it or not? Okay! Hello! I'll see what you Zhang Youbao brought today, let me turn over your true face!"
As he spoke, he took the bag and opened it, and was dumbfounded.
It's nothing else, it's the hardcover limited collection of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that he just went out and ran to a few bookstores that he didn't buy.
Lao Zhang said with a smile: "I told you that there are too many condor powders, and the number of collections is limited, and I will go to the bookstore again this morning, and I will not be able to buy it if I delay a little, and you still don't believe it! No, my friend who passed the guΓ² bookstore here bought two sets early in the morning, and I heard that you didn't get it, so this is not a delivery to your door." It doesn't matter if you take it or not, it's a total of 906 yuan anyway, I'll ask my sister-in-law for it in a while!"
"Oh, Lao Zhang, you're always exquisite!"
The old leader smiled, hugged Lao Zhang's shoulders affectionately, carried the collection beautifully, and shouted at the house when he turned around: "Daughter-in-law, Lao Zhang is here." Look at noon, the whole two hard dishes!"
β¦β¦
"What time did you go out in the morning and what gifts did you buy?"
The wife glanced at her honest husband, patted the rime on his hair, and then without waiting for him to answer, she sighed, "Forget it, don't ask." Anyway, it's the same as the old three, and it's not as heavy as the eldest sister and the second sister. But filial piety is such a thing, each according to his ability, let's do our best. No matter what the eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law come up with later, let's be happy, don't compare with them!"
Her husband shook her hand, and said with gratitude and shame: "Let you fall in front of your parents." β
"So what, marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, marry you as a little gardener, and you can only follow the poor but noble. β
The wife smiled. "Let's go, it's not too early, don't let your parents wait. β
The husband and wife drove a second-hand car to the downstairs of the old man, and the luxury cars of the eldest sister's family and the second sister's family had been parked there.
I went upstairs and knocked on the door to enter the house, and as expected, the two families with deep pockets were carrying out their annual routine reservation project - selling gifts.
It was the eldest sister who opened the show at this time, and when she heard the younger sister and brother-in-law coming in, her tone instantly rose an octave: "Dad, Mom, these two things were bought by Lao He when he went to France to meet customers last month, and they are precious." I heard that Louis of France came to the more than a dozen, and the cane he used at the beginning was made by this family, which was purely handmade, only by reservation, and there was no one in China. In addition, these are two red envelopes, I wish you a happy new year, good health, and all the best!"
The old man was always silent, nodded and didn't say anything.
The old mother-in-law was smiling, hurriedly took it, and hurriedly instructed the eldest son-in-law to fly around often, but to pay more attention to rest and diet......
The second daughter coughed, not to be outdone, and said: "Dad, Mom, this box of tobacco and alcohol was brought over by an old comrade-in-arms of Lao Yun, and it is not available in the market. Lao Yun was reluctant to give it away, and he was reluctant to smoke it himself, so he used it to honor his father. This is our red envelope, you two old people are safe, healthy and auspicious!"
"Hey, hey. Special offer. β
The old mother-in-law smiled again, and hurriedly instructed the second son-in-law to entertain more in front of the official, but pay attention to nourishing the liver and protecting the kidneys......
The wife, that is, the third daughter, snuggled over and held the old mother-in-law's arm, "Mom, I'm coming back with Xu Ke to greet you and Dad." β
As soon as the old mother-in-law smiled, when she turned around and saw the third son-in-law standing at the door, the wrinkles on her face instantly deepened a lot, and her smile became lighter.
The old father-in-law, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth to greet him, "Xu Ke, what are you doing standing, sit." β
The husband came back to his senses and walked up to his father-in-law with his things, "Dad, I brought you a set of books......
"I said Xu Ke, what kind of books will you give for the New Year, and you won't let people play mahjong later!" the eldest sister complained.
"That's right. I was unlucky last night, and I was counting on going back to my book in the afternoon, are you the first to 'lose', are you unlucky?"
His wife's face turned pale, and her nails were pinched into her flesh. Although she actively adjusts her mentality every time, and comforts her husband not to care, it is definitely impossible not to compare and not care at all, and she does not ask her husband too much, as long as she buys some heartfelt gifts, her parents will not mind, especially her father, but the book ......
In an instant, the disappointment in my heart was sour, and the grievances were so turbulent.
The husband was suffocated, and while taking out the gift, he said: "Dad, I heard you mention "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the phone more than once before, and there was a lot of regret in your tone. So I've been keeping an eye out for the news of physical books, and I got up this morning and queued up to grab a hardcover limited edition collection for you. I paid special attention to the fact that there are tens of thousands of words of historical background interpretation and creative experience written by the author, Mr. Jin Liang, as well as his personal collection of 50 favorite book reviews. Very collectible. β
The old father-in-law raised his eyelids, reached out to take the collection, and suddenly, shook his head and sighed.
The eldest sister observed the words and said, "Xu Ke, it's not easy for you to earn that little salary, I heard that there are more than 900 in a set, your head is pumping!"
The second sister also nodded: "It's not, I heard that you have to get up at five or six o'clock to line up, I think it's really ...... It's hard to understand!"
His wife's face was even paler, and she was already crying.
The old father-in-law sighed and said slowly: "Xu Ke, it seems that you still know me best, an old man." β
What the?!
Nani?!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The old father-in-law said, got up, and greeted her husband Xu Ke, who was also a little dumbfounded, "Come, come to the study, and talk to you." β
The eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law, who have always been in the old god and calm and relaxed, suddenly changed their faces.
The wife covered her mouth with her hand, and tears of excitement and surprise flowed down. R1152
