"Sanla, put these books on the bestseller shelves."

The manager of "Jean Bookstore" handed the list of a batch of books to the clerk Sanla and said, "This "Paradise" is a key book recommended by Frank Bookstore, and it is placed on the first bestseller shelf, and this "Snow" is from New York Press, and it is also placed on the first shelf, this book is ......."

Looking at the book list, the store manager kept saying.

"This Harry Potter ...... And so on, it was actually published at its own expense. Hehe, it's been a long time since I received a self-published book. ”

Looking at the name of the Harry Potter work, the store manager couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that I remember that after the government began to manage books more effectively three years ago, there were very few such self-published works." Unexpectedly, there is another today. Alas, poor writers, Sanla, don't you also like to write, and don't learn to publish it at your own expense in the future. By the way, self-published books like this are placed in ...... Put it in the leftmost corner. ”

"Got it, manager."

Sighing, Sanra took the list of books and went to sort out the books a little depressed.

After more than an hour, Sanla placed all kinds of books on the shelves.

"Harry Potter."

Looking at Harry Potter in his hand, Sanla was a little helpless.

In fact, Sanla is also a literary youth, and he also likes to write. Unfortunately, just because you enjoy writing doesn't mean your work will be recognized. For a few years, most of the manuscripts sent by Sanla were returned. Once Sanla also thought about publishing it at his own expense, because he thought his work was very good, and the publisher refused because others had no vision. It wasn't until later, after working in the bookstore for many years, that Sangla found out. It turns out that it's not because others don't have vision, it's because their own works are not good enough.

The reason why I found this point is not only the progress of the past few years, but also because countless authors have published at their own expense.

There were many authors who had similar ideas to Sangla at the time, so they spent a sum of money to publish their works at their own expense. However, even if it is to publish these works. Bad works are still bad, and almost all the works that Sangla has seen published at his own expense in recent years have sold miserably. Sometimes, for a year, these self-published works go unpatronized.

Until the last three years, as the government has increased its control of publishing, self-funded publishing has gradually become less and less. It's just that I didn't expect to see a self-published one today.

It seems to be a fairy tale.

The circulation seems to be very large.

Oh, God.

Sanla didn't know what to say anymore.

"I don't know who you are, but as someone who has come before, I wish you good luck."

Placing the last copy of Harry Potter in her hand in a corner of the bookshelf, Sanla went about the rest.

It's just that what Sangla didn't expect was that just a moment later, the store manager called Sangla over again.

"Sanla, what's the matter, you asked you to put that self-published novel in the far left corner, why is it still vacant?"

"Store manager, I'll let it go."

Sanla replied puzzled.

"Let's go, lie, come and see, how can there be a place for a dozen books here?"

Pointing to the empty bookshelves, the store manager asked Sanla.

"Uh, why not?"

Looking at the vacated bookshelf, Sangla wiped her eyes, "Store manager, I obviously put ten Harry Potter copies here just now, how can there be no more, it won't be stolen." ”

"Stole?"

The store manager shook his head, "How is it possible, we have so many surveillance cameras installed in our store, as long as it is normal, no one will come to steal books." ”

"That might be sold?"

Since it can't be stolen, there is only another possibility, selling.

"Sold?"

The store manager looked at Sanla, "If that's the case, you'd rather believe that the books were stolen." You've seen whose self-funded work is sold, unless the author comes to the bookstore and buys it himself. Sanla, are you sure you put the book here? ”

"If I'm not dreaming right now, then I'm going to let it go."

"Okay, I'll trust you for now, I'll check the data."

The store manager was a little unconvinced, turned on the computer and typed in Harry Potter, and the computer showed that Harry Potter had sold 10 copies.

"Huh......"

Seeing this data, the store manager also couldn't believe it.

"It's really sold."

"Store manager, I told you, I just released it."

Seeing the data, Sanla hurriedly proved his innocence.

"Okay, okay, I blamed you just now. However, it's strange, such a book is also bought, is it really written by a local tyrant author? ”

This phenomenon has not happened before.

There was once a local tyrant author who also liked to write novels, but the novels he wrote were very ordinary, and no publishing house was willing to publish his works. Later, the local tyrant author published it himself in a fit of rage. And, in a fit of rage, he spent money to buy 1 million copies of his self-published book on the market, creating a record for the top seller of the month at that time.

Could it be that this is the case again?

The store manager was a little unsure, and told Sanla, "You go and put Harry Potter on the bookshelf again." ”

"Yes."

Sanla nodded, and took out another 10 Harry Potter copies from the storeroom.

As a result, half an hour later, 10 Harry Potter copies were sold out again.

"Oh my God......"

Seeing this data, Sang La and the store manager were a little shocked.

You know, the sales of a single book in a bookstore are very slow. Even some super bestsellers are not selling fast in individual bookstores. The reason why they were able to sell millions of copies was because tens of thousands of bookstores across North America had accumulated over the course of months or even years.

In other words, if some bestsellers are not an event, it is already very good to sell 10 copies a day.

However, it was only half an hour later, and "Harry Potter" sold 10 copies, no, if you add the previous words, it sold 20 copies.

You know, Harry Potter is in the far left corner, a place that is rarely frequented.

Moreover, their bookstore is not a large bookstore, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized bookstore.

"Could it be that you really met the local tyrant author?"

The manager looked at Sanla, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Well, manager, it doesn't seem to be."

Sanla shook her head, "I paid special attention to the situation here just now, and found that as long as someone picks up Harry Potter, 80% of readers will choose to buy it." ”

"So that wasn't all the books purchased by one person?"

"Yes."

Sanla nodded and said, "Yes, not alone, and most of the readers who bought that book were regular customers in our store, as well as children aged 9-12 and some parents. ”

After saying that, Sangla seemed to think of something, and her eyes sparkled. Finally, I looked at the empty bookshelf, then looked at the store manager, swallowed my saliva, and said with some excitement, "Store manager, I feel ......"

"What does it feel?"

"I feel like this book is going to be on fire."
