Time is getting closer and closer to the New Year's Day, when the young men and women of Yanjing City gather in the Taimiao Temple for New Year's Eve activities, when the beam of light with a diameter of 11 meters in diameter of the China Millennium Monument descends into the night sky, and when the low and melodious bell of the Great Bell Temple rings, 2017 will replace 2016 to the world!

Busy workers are making deliveries to bookstores large and small in every city, and yesterday they have already delivered to most of the cities, as long as the rest of the bookstores are covered today.

The major chain bookstores have cooperated with the National People's Congress Publishing House, and the online pre-sale is in good condition, so the distribution of goods in reality is also very timely and comprehensive, and now everyone believes that "I, Robot" will be a big seller, but I don't know where it ends.

In the early morning, there are still traces of last night's carnival in Yanjing City, and the lazy good weather makes everyone smile, but there are several people talking about things outside several bookstores in Yanjing City.

Xinhua Bookstore can be said to be the most densely distributed chain bookstore in the country, and it can be seen in some small cities or towns, sending knowledge to children all over the country.

A cold wind blew, and the young man in the scarf and gloves shivered slightly, then stomped his feet and discussed.

"Didn't you say that the door opened at nine o'clock in the morning, and I waited ten minutes before I came, what are you doing here? ”

"yes, I thought I was late, if I didn't hate e-reading, I would have bought the e-version online now, how long would I have to wait?"

"Dude, what kind of book are you here to buy?" Zheng Yutian looked at the people in front of him, and he could see the heat above their heads, just like a scene in a martial arts novel.

"I was pulled over, my girlfriend wants to watch "The Best of Us", what is there to see in this kind of youth romance novel, crying and blood. Did you buy this book too?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, and he explained: "We are all science fiction lovers, and we came here to buy "I, Robot", which is on sale nationwide today. We think that the larger bookstore may survive a little more and will not sell out. ”

The young man who came to buy the book with his girlfriend was very surprised, "Science fiction is still worried about selling out? ”

Zheng Yutian shrugged his shoulders, "I hope so." ”

"Look, the gate is finally rising, line up to go in, my legs are numb!" Xiao Liu kicked his legs and said impatiently.

The bookstore staff who were cleaning with a feather duster looked at the group of people outside in surprise, when was the last time they queued up at the door of the bookstore to buy books?

It seems that after the TV series "Step by Step" was broadcast, TV series lovers came to buy the original novel, but that was the basis for the popularity of TV series, how could such a situation usually occur.

"Have there been any movies and TV series adapted from novels that have been broadcast recently? Or which celebrity has published an autobiography or photo album to cheat money?"

Another cashier who was turning on the computer pouted: "It doesn't seem to be, movies and TV haven't been good lately, and I also bought a book at night to read it back to pass the time." ”

"Coming to buy books against the cold wind, these readers are really loyal enough, I see that there are so many posters of "The Best of Us 2" over there, should they come to buy these?"

"But there are so many boys out there, and boys can read this kind of book?"

"What if it's for their girlfriend, who knows. Anyway, it's a good thing, let's sell a few more copies. I still have to go to work on New Year's Day, which is really irritating. ”

"That's probably the reader who came to buy "Sword and Sorcery", my brother likes to read this novel very much, and he uses his mobile phone every day to catch up with updates, not to mention, and he also bought a few sets of books to put them back. The sales of online novels are really good. ”

"No, in December, "Dragon 3" actually sold 450,000 copies, and fantasy novels are too terrible!"

"The sales of "Dragons" are better than the first, the first part only bought more than a million copies, the second part rose to more than two million, and now the third part premieres with 1.5 million copies. It's a pity that it didn't choose a good release time, and it was released in October, and the annual list is basically no play. ”

"In three months, it sold 2.15 million copies, which is terrifying! Next time I should choose to release the book in January or February. ”

"Now that the system has just finished counting, the monthly sales champion in December is not "Dragon 3", it is "No One Survives", with a monthly sales of 800,000, which is worthy of being a five-star best-selling author, which is quite powerful. ”

After the cashier put away the change separately, he said after the fact: "Actually, I expected that when I collected money here, many of them bought "No One Survives". ”

The staff started to open slowly, but Zheng Yutan and Xiaoliu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, were waiting impatiently, and the doors were open, but what did those barricades mean!

Just as they were about to go wild, the staff removed the barricade and explained, "Sorry, we just cleaned the floor, the floor is a little slippery, and we won't open until it dries, so I'm very sorry." ”

Zheng Yutan didn't have time to pay attention to these, he stepped in a few steps, and at the same time looked around: "Literature, economics and management, social science, personality, life, special prices, children's books, teaching aids." What is this, is science fiction in children's books, literature, or social sciences, do you have to find them one by one?"

Rows of neat bookshelves stood in the bright light, and Xiao Liu almost looked at it, he had never been to this bookstore, his eyes were full of books, and he didn't know where "I, Robot" was hidden.

For bookstores, the most prominent place is always the bestseller, especially the writers who have proven themselves in the past, they have wide posters to promote, and each book is piled up in various shapes.

But even if the author is a new book on the shelves, he can only stay in the dense shelves, waiting for readers to come to Taobao, waiting for other people's eyes to be like a torch.

Although the People's Congress Publishing House is the Taishan Beidou of the publishing industry, it can't invest enough resources into "I, Robot", now is the era of wine and fear of deep alleys, who has the best promotional posters in the bookstore, has the most conspicuous position, then can have good sales.

Books such as "Sword and Sorcery", "Dragons", "The Best of Us", and "No One Left Alive" have almost usurped the promotional positions in bookstores, and even the most prominent positions on the shelves.

In comparison, "I, Robot" is like a child raised by a stepmother, acquired malnutrition, Zheng Yutan and Xiaoliu looked around and still found nothing, so they could only run to the staff.

"Where is your science fiction side? I'd like to buy a copy of I, Robot. ”

"Me too, I want two. ”

The staff frowned, is there a book?

However, she did not show it, but pointed to the stairs and said: "Science fiction is on the second floor, you can find it by following the sign under the popular novel, but there is no on the first floor." ”

Zheng Yuqi couldn't help sighing, this is the status quo of science fiction, the location is so remote that you have to go upstairs to find it, like some girls love to read the house fighting palace fighting novels, the president Gao Gan novels can be found on the first floor, and the physical versions of some online novels are also below.

As a new book that has just been put on the shelves, "I, Robot" still has to go to the second floor to find it, which is really infuriating.

However, to the cashier's surprise, the customers who came in in the queue searched around and asked about "I, Robot", and very few people asked about the rest of the novels.

"I want a copy of "I, Robot", do you still have it here?"

"Do you participate in the discount project for new books, you will get a 20% discount if you buy two books, and these two "I, Robot" will be settled together. ”

"Can't you give it a prominent spot here? I'll have to climb up to the second floor to find it. ”

"Hello, may I ask if the "I, Robot" on the bookshelf is gone, those copies are sold out, do you still have stock in your warehouse?"

The staff was a little surprised, the person in charge of placing the books thought that it would be enough to pile up 5 copies of "I, Robot" on the shelf, but they didn't expect it to be sold out within a few minutes of opening the door, and there was no time to replenish the stock.

After checking it on the computer, he quickly said: "Don't worry, we have enough stock, and we will take it out of the warehouse immediately, how many copies do you want?"

"I want a copy"

"Two books are more cost-effective, I'll bring one back to my roommate"

"Here's a copy too!"

……

So in the morning, the staff in charge of replenishing the bookshelves was almost paralyzed, and every time a message was sent from it to replenish the stock, he pushed a small cart to send it, but now the order came again.

"Zhang Jun, can't you TM let me bring a hundred books at a time? Open a booth for it alone, won't I get tired of running back and forth?"
