Chapter 144 of the main text volume, tomb robbing

Next chapter

Minglan City, 'Warm Book House', this is just a small bookstore with a width of only thirty or forty square meters.

However, its location is not far from the entrance of 'Minglan No. 9 Middle School', so the bookstore's business is still very good on weekdays, and those students often come to this store after school to buy all kinds of books.

Zhou Ping, the owner of the bookstore, was sitting at the cashier holding a book and watching it with relish, and he didn't even realize that it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and the school was about to end.

After a while, a group of students walked in, and these students also came to this bookstore to buy books on weekdays, so they were quite familiar with the boss Zhou Ping.

As soon as he saw Zhou Ping holding a book and reading, he didn't even pay much attention to them walking into the bookstore, so a student couldn't help but step forward and said, "Boss, what kind of book are you reading?"

At this time, Zhou Ping was finally awakened, and couldn't help but look up at the student who asked him, and casually flipped over the book he was holding, revealing the cover and colophon, and said casually: "Oh, this book is called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which talks about tomb robbing. ”

"Tomb robbing? what's so nice about tomb robbing, it's not interesting. The student pursed his lips and said disinterestedly.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but say a few more words, "Let me tell you, this book is still quite good, I don't believe you can just read it." ”

Hearing Zhou Ping say this, the student couldn't help but be a little curious, "Boss, it's really fake, then I'll see if it's as good-looking as you blow......

The student said with a smile that he was really familiar with Zhou Ping, and he was sixteen or seventeen and a half years old, so he spoke very casually.

Of course, Zhou Ping didn't care about the student's words, smiled, and said, "When did I brag to you, you little cubs asked me to recommend books to you, which time didn't they recommend all the books to you?"

The student smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll look for it, if it's really good-looking, then I'll buy a copy back, if it's not good-looking, boss, you have to give me a discount on what books I'm going to buy later!"

"You're a thief, okay, if you really don't look good, I'll give you a 10% discount on what books you buy. But you have to speak with your conscience, don't deliberately say that it's not good-looking, and then let me give you a discount. Zhou Ping scolded with a smile.

"Okay, boss, that's what you said. ”

The student immediately replied happily.

Seeing this, his companions couldn't help but shout, "Boss, and us." If the book you said wasn't good, you should remember to give us a discount as well. ”

"Okay, okay, you little cubs, I promised. Zhou Ping said with a smile. In fact, he still makes a lot of money selling these books at a 10% discount, but he doesn't care about making a little less.

What's more, Zhou Ping believes that not to mention that all of these students will like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but at least half of them will be attracted to it without any problem, and then they will be able to sell a few more books.

Zhou Ping himself is watching "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and with his vision and experience, this book should be able to sell well. So he also directly placed "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the most conspicuous place at the door.

And when a guest comes, he occasionally takes the initiative to recommend "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to the guest, and the success rate is quite high.

Therefore, in the past few days, he has sold more than 60 copies of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" one after another. Of course, this is a sales volume of two or two copies combined.

When the group of students picked up the "Ghost Blows the Lamp" at the door and flipped through it, Zhou Ping also continued to read by himself, only occasionally glancing up at the students.

Although there have been occasional book thefts in his bookstore, they are still very rare overall.

Because most of the people who came to his store were the middle school students from the Ninth Middle School, they were very good at Su zhì, and many students often came to him to buy books, so they were quite familiar with him, so Zhou Ping was not very worried that these students would steal his books.

After about ten minutes, the students finally picked out the books they wanted to buy, and several of them had "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in their hands, and some even took two copies together.

Of course, these students are not only the first group to come in before, but also some students have come in one after another.

probably saw that the first group of students who came in were all reading the same book, driven by curiosity, so they also picked up one and read some, and then asked Zhou Ping to sell a few more copies......

After those students checked out and left, Zhou Ping couldn't help but glance at the first two or two volumes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that were missing six or seven books, and couldn't help but say to himself: "It seems that I have to buy a little more tomorrow, according to this situation, this "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should be sold out tomorrow at most." ”

He had bought a total of fifty sets of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" before, and now forty-two copies of the first volume have been sold, and thirty-four copies of the second volume have been sold.

'Warm Book House' is just a small bookstore, and those big bookstores, especially several large chain bookstores, are the focus of Huayi Publishing House's publicity, not to mention that.

For example, in some bookstores with a large flow of people, a stack of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will be sold out as soon as it is placed on the shelves.

In addition to some of the readers who were attracted by the advertising of Huayi Publishing House, a large part of them were purely attracted by the overwhelming word-of-mouth and evaluation on the Internet, so they went to the bookstore to have a look.

Many people just look at it and fall into the pit, so it is natural to buy the book directly out of their pockets, and then go home and sit on a chair with a drink or tea next to it, and enjoy the mysterious and strange tombs depicted in the book and the thrilling scenes encountered by the gold trio......

The speed of transmission on the Internet is undoubtedly the fastest, and a few days have been enough to make the name "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" popular throughout the Internet, making a wave of 'tomb robbery' rise everywhere on the Internet.

All kinds of positive comments that praise "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for its novel theme, exciting story, and professional and in-depth description are common in various forums and many comment areas.

Coupled with the offline advertising invested by Huayi Publishing House, for a while, this 'tomb robbery wind' seems to have gradually swept the entire book market.

The 1 million copies of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" printed for the first time by Huayi Publishing House had been distributed to all over the country before 600,000 copies, but less than a week later, bookstores in many places had already called Huayi Publishing House to ask for replenishment.

Even several large chain bookstores that originally thought that they were already well stocked up a day or two later hurriedly called Huayi Publishing House, also asking for replenishment......

Although it is not yet Monday, and the week's sales have not yet been feedback, but from the fact that bookstores around the country have asked for restocking, Huayi Publishing House is enough to determine that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is really going to be a hit.

This time, they made the right bet!

As the editor-in-chief of Huayi Publishing House, Zhang Lei also directly asked the printing house to reprint a full 2 million sets again after receiving a replenishment call from bookstores around the country.

He believes that the energy of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has not really been released yet, and it will definitely not be impossible to sell two million copies of additional printing.

He even thinks that it may take a third or fourth reprint to really meet the needs of the market.

In that case, the sales of a single copy of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will really have to go to more than five million, and such a result is enough to occupy a place even if it is on the best-selling list of books of the year!

However, now he feels that there is one more thing that needs to be done urgently, and that is to win the publishing authorization for all the follow-up content of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Although Huayi Publishing House has the priority of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", if there are too many competitors, if any one offers a sky-high price, Huayi Publishing House will have to pay more blood to win it.

Therefore, under the circumstance that it has been clear that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" will be popular, Zhang Lei naturally hopes to quickly win the follow-up publication authorization as soon as possible.
