In the hall of the Meteor Book Bar, there was a long queue of more than 30 people, most of whom were elderly, and they were all collectors of novels who had come to buy "The Master of the Book Coffin".

In fact, the Meteor Book Bar has not officially opened yet, but these customers have already rushed to hear the news, and Liu Xing didn't want to ruin their excitement and decided to start selling.

At this time, Liu Shiming was in charge of registering the customer's information, Liu Xing was responsible for collecting money, and as for Lu Yuxin, due to the lack of manpower in the book bar, she temporarily acted as a waiter to help some customers verify the anti-counterfeiting code on the official website of the book testing center.

The three of them did their own duties and cooperated quite tacitly, and they couldn't see that today was the first time they were cooperating.

When the three of them were busy, the old people in the queue whispered.

"The Book Coffin Master sells for 8,000 yuan a copy, which seems a little too cheap, right?"

"It's too cheap, I haven't had a star tomb robbery novel on the market for two or three years, and I originally thought it would cost more than 20,000 yuan for a copy."

"I heard that "The Master of the Book Coffin" was originally priced at 24,000 yuan, but the Reading Alliance felt that this novel could popularize anti-theft knowledge, and decided to increase the circulation and reduce the price by two-thirds."

"So that's the case, no wonder it's only sold for 8,000 yuan. This Xiao Liu is really kind, he doesn't increase the price! If it were another bookseller, the price would have to be multiplied several times! ”

……

In the midst of the discussion, the old people bought the novels one by one, and after making sure that there was no problem with the quality of the novels, they left one after another.

Half an hour later, there was only one last customer left in the bookstore, an old man on crutches, gray-haired, and wearing a pair of reading glasses.

"Uncle, you can buy a copy too, right?" Liu Xing greeted.

"yes, buy a copy." The old man reminded with a smile, "Xiao Liu, you sold this novel too cheaply!" ”

Liu Xing was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"8,000 yuan, too little!" The old man's teeth had already fallen out, and he said in a leaky voice, "The price should be raised!" It's a fool not to make money! ”

Liu Xing smiled and asked curiously, "Uncle, how much do you think this book should sell?" ”

"At least 25,000!" The old man is a collector of novels and has a lot of experience, so he began to give advice to Liu Xing, saying, "Sell it for 25,000 yuan first, and then slowly raise the price after a while, this is a good opportunity to make money, don't waste it." Xiao Liu, let me tell you, Novel Street is one of the five places where there may be a book coffin, and the book search team will come to Novel Street to find the coffin, and the Novel Street will definitely attract many readers from all over the country to visit in the future. At that time, there will be more people who will buy your copy of "The Master of the Book Coffin". Now it is sold for 8,000 yuan, which is equal to the price of cabbage, which is not worth it! ”

Liu Xing couldn't imagine that he would meet such a warm-hearted old man, and said, "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

The old man remembered something and added: "However, you have to sell me a copy for 8,000 yuan now!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shiming and Lu Yuxin on the side laughed, and they only felt that the old man in front of him was like a child, and he was indescribably cute.

"Uncle, give me your reading card, and I'll help you register."

"Okay."

In Huaxia, the purchase of books requires the use of a library card, which is mainly used to record the cardholder's book purchase records. Whoever buys what books, this information must be entered into the database of the Reading Alliance for easy management.

At the same time, all books in Huaxia Kingdom have a unique book number, even if it is the same set of books, the book number is different, which means that each book purchased by each person is unique.

The function of the reading card and the book number is mainly to facilitate the management of the entire book market by the Reading Alliance.

When there is a problem with a book that has been sold, the Reading Consortium is able to know to whom the books were sold through the reading card and book number, and then recall the book.

There are many more functions of reading cards and book numbers, and in the final analysis, they are all about creating a healthy reading market.

"Uncle, do you need me to help you check the anti-counterfeiting code of the book?" Lu Yuxin asked softly.

"No, you don't." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have been reading novels for more than 70 years, whether it is a star novel or not, I will know when I touch it, this "Book Coffin Master" is a good book at first sight!" ”

The crowd laughed again.

In a moment, the old man took the newly bought novel and left on crutches.

After such a toss, 44 copies of "The Master of the Book Coffin" have been sold, and Liu Xing has more than 100,000 yuan in his pocket at once.

Lu Yuxin said with emotion: "My grandfather must be very happy to know that so many people are queuing up to buy his novels." ”

Liu Xing said matter-of-factly: "Mr. Lu, you seem to be quite happy to work as a waiter just now, and you can really consider going to work in my book bar." ”

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't mind." Lu Yuxin sighed along the lines and said, "It's much easier to be a waiter than a general manager, at least there aren't so many messy things." ”

"If you are upset, I recommend you read more casual novels to relax." Liu Xing suggested, "If you have time, go to the book bar to read novels, get a VIP card, and enjoy the top reading experience, and I'll give you an eighty-fifty discount." ”

"You're really going to take the opportunity to get business!" Lu Yuxin smiled, "Actually, I don't know much about reading, and I have only learned a little bit of it. I've heard that reading is hard to learn, and I don't think I'll be able to learn it. ”

Liu Xingdao: "It's okay, I can teach you, I charge 5,000 yuan an hour." ”

"5,000 yuan?" Lu Yuxin said, "Liu Xing, you are too dark, the professional reading training hall is only a few hundred yuan an hour." ”

"A female president like you, who goes in and out of hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour, 5,000 yuan is just a drizzle for you." Liu Xing said solemnly, "What's more, a first-class reading instructor naturally needs a first-class fee." ”

"Are you good at reading?"

"You can pay 5,000 yuan to experience it first."

"Alright, I'm not so easy to fool." Lu Yuxin only thought that Liu Xing was joking, and said, "By the way, Shiming, the Reading Alliance's book hunting plan is about to start, right?" ”

"It's not so fast, the coffin detector is still in production, and it is estimated that it will take two months." Liu Shiming said, "However, the registration of the Taoshu team has been launched. I heard that there are a lot of people who have signed up, and now the number has exceeded 10,000. ”

"I guess they're all coming for the big bonuses. If any book team can find the book coffin, the Reading Alliance will give a bonus of 20 million, and there must be many people who want to try their luck. Lu Yuxin asked curiously, "There are a total of five places where the coffin is buried, which one do you think is more likely?" ”

Liu Shiming said: "It's really hard to say now, the chances of the five locations are quite even. Professor Juan thinks that Huashan in Huadu is the most likely, and he plans to take the book team to Huashan to search. Professor Sun Yi felt that the Doyasg Desert in Xifeng City was more likely, and his book search team was ready to go to the desert to find the coffin. ”

Lu Yuxin's willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "The probability of finding a book coffin in Novel Street won't be the lowest, right?" ”

"Many experts are not optimistic, but President Wang Tairan is ready to stay in Novel Street." Liu Shiming said, "Yuxin, it seems that you are very interested in finding the book coffin, why don't you join the book search team?" ”

"I also thought, but unfortunately there are too many things in the company to make time. I really envy you for being able to do what you want. Lu Yuxin looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, I have to go to the court now." ”

"What are you doing at the courthouse?" Liu Xing asked, "Or is it because of the green bamboo coffin?" ”

"Yes! The green bamboo wooden coffin is a relic of my family's ancestors, and I will definitely take it back. Since the reason does not make sense, we can only take the legal route. Lu Yuxin remembered something and admonished, "By the way, Liu Xing, when will your book bar open, remember to notify me, I'll come over and have a good time." Without further ado, I'll go first, bye-bye. ”

After speaking, with a wave of her little hand, Lu Yuxin walked out of the book bar quickly, drove the red Pegasus car parked at the door, and left in a hurry.

Looking at her departing figure, Liu Shiming sighed with emotion: "Yuxin is really not easy. A woman who has to take on such a big family business and run around for these messy things is too her. ”

Liu Xing wondered: "What about her parents?" ”

"It's gone, she's the only one at home." Liu Shiming said, "Lu Yuxin originally studied abroad, but her mother died suddenly two years ago, and she could only return to China to inherit the family business. In two years, she has been honed from an innocent female college student to a female president of a company. ”

Liu Xing's brows moved slightly, thoughtfully, although he and Lu Yuxin had known each other for a short time, this woman had helped him a lot.

When Liu Xing first entered the "Notes on the Book Tomb", it was with the help of Lu Yuxin that he learned a lot of information about the coffin maker, and he successfully reached the realm of the unity of man and book and successfully entered the gods.

When bidding for the Pastoral Book Bar last month, it was Lu Yuxin who came to help, and Liu Xing had enough funds to buy the book bar.

Now Lu Yuxin is in trouble and needs help urgently, and the only person who can help her happens to be Liu Xing, because the "Lu Family Tree" that has been lost for more than 40 years is in Liu Xing's hands......
