Every district and county has at least one large Xinhua bookstore, and there are even more small bookstores and private bookstores, so there is no way to fully count them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, every time the daily sales data released on the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication does not really sell so much, but uses the real-time data reported by major chain bookstores, and then extrapolates back to estimate the sales of bookstores that have not been reported according to the proportion.

In this way, the results are relatively accurate, and the second and third days will also be corrected for the previous data.

To be honest, the box office statistics of movies are much easier than book sales, at least every movie theater is in theater mode, and they are all connected to the Internet.

Every time a ticket is sold, data is left behind.

But books are different, there are many small bookstores that don't have to scan the barcode to pay, and even after scanning, there is no data feedback to the General Administration of Press and Publication.

One such small bookstore is the Quanlin Bookstore on the banks of the Han River, which is a self-built house with only two fronts and a stack of bookshelves.

When I go in alone, I feel a little crowded, and there are dense books everywhere, mainly teaching materials and after-school reading materials.

After all, it is next to Hanhe County No. 1 Middle School, these students like to come to the bookstore to buy all kinds of teaching materials, five-year college entrance examination three-year simulation, full score essay selection, hard pen calligraphy copybook, Olympiad mathematics inferences and so on.

Students' money is actually very profitable, and parents may save more in other aspects, but they are definitely generous in their children's investment in education!

Different grades and different subjects have different teaching materials, Lin Han liked to buy "Middle School Textbook Explanation" when he was studying, because this book has all the answers to the after-class exercises, the translation of classical Chinese, and the translation of English, so my mother no longer has to worry about being named to answer questions!

Each grade has its own list of recommended extracurricular reading materials, and all the books on this list are classics, so you can buy them even at this kind of small bookstore.

Huang Fei sat bored in the cashier of the bookstore, he had been working outside for several years.

Now I come back for the Spring Festival to help my bookstore look after the store, so that my parents can have time to rest.

This has been the case since he was a student, and now more than a decade later, it still doesn't look like much.

It's the time for the students to go on winter vacation, and the bookstore is relatively quiet, at least not a single book has been sold since it opened today!

However, as the sun has emerged from the thick clouds, the temperature has risen considerably, and the streets have become more crowded.

The advantage of opening a bookstore at home is that you can read books casually, as long as Huang Fei wants to read books, there is no shortage of resources.

Of course, there are bad times, such as "Harry Potter" sold so well that the one he originally collected from the bookstore was also scraped up by his mother and sold, for which Huang Fei once complained about his family.

"The Fall of Hyperion" is neatly placed in a conspicuous position at the door, and there is also an advertisement on the small whiteboard at the door with the words "Science fiction master Lin Han's new work "The Fall of Hyperion" has arrived"!

Huang Fei's taste for reading books is very mixed, classic literary masterpieces, ordinary novels, online novels, youth literature, biographies, popular science encyclopedias, etc.

In fact, there are many benefits to reading, but it needs to be discovered slowly by those who are interested.

The biggest advantage is that it can make people's lives more fulfilling, learn different things, feel the difference of the world, and do not need to have the pressure of survival, wandering in the world of words!

"Boss? Do you still collect money? Without taking the money, I left. ”

Huang Fei, who was immersed in the world of novels, didn't notice when a young man walked into the bookstore, and after he heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and found that the person standing opposite was an acquaintance!

"Collect money, definitely collect money!"

Huang Fei quickly looked at the price of this book, and he said: "Old Yuan, I remember that you didn't like to read books the most when you were reading, but now you actually read science fiction novels, okay!" ”

Yuan Hongming grinned, "People change, I only like to read books after work, and I think reading books is very good." Old classmates, when will we come out to get together, there are not many of our high school classmates who are still in touch. ”

"Okay, when are you going to work?"

"On the ninth day of the first lunar month, what about you?" Yuan Hongming asked rhetorically.

Huang Fei made a helpless expression and replied, "I'm going to work the day after tomorrow, if it's okay tonight, let's get together?" Call a few more people over, everyone really hasn't seen you for a long time. ”

Yuan Hongming thought about it seriously and said, "No problem, I'll go to the group and ask later." Huang Feihong, you still like to read books as much as before, once you read a book, you don't care about anything. ”

Huang Fei's nickname when he was in school was Huang Feihong, obviously he was a person with a stronger bookish atmosphere, but he was given this name.

"I'm bored, just reading books to pass the time."

"How much do these two books cost? I'm going to buy it and take my time while I'm on the train. ”

Huang Fei looked at "The Fall of Hyperion" and "I, Robot" on the counter, he calculated the price and said, "I'll give you a 20% discount, two books for a total of forty yuan." ”

He wanted to give it to his old classmates for free, but today was the first day of the bookstore's New Year's opening, and according to custom, he couldn't do this, and the bookstore still belonged to his parents.

Yuan Hongming took out two pieces of money with a denomination of twenty, and then carried a plastic bag and said, "Don't forget tonight, we will say the specific location in the group." ”

"Okay, I'm coming to the end of the world!"

The business is finally open, but it is only money from acquaintances.

In the following time, Huang Fei sold several copies of "The Fall of Hyperion", it seems that the attraction of Lin Han's new work is quite suitable for the advertisement he placed on the small whiteboard outside!

Many people think that Lin Han has only increased sales compared to ordinary writers, and they think that if the sales volume alone is enough, he can only be regarded as a successful business writer.

However, he self-righteously ignored Lin Han's achievements in major science fiction awards and literary awards, perhaps because the sales figures were too dazzling, covering the rest of the light.

……

Just a small bookstore, it sold seven or eight copies of "The Fall of Hyperion" and the rest of the works in one day, not to mention the big chain bookstores.

Few writers and publishing groups put new books on sale during the Chinese New Year, either before or after, in short, try to avoid them.

But the People's Congress Publishing House just did this, they are masters of the arts, and Lin Han's success has given them too much confidence, so they have successfully dominated the Spring Festival schedule!

There wasn't a new book to compete with Hyperion's Fall, and even if it wasn't advertised, it sold quite well.

At this time, Lin Han was wandering around with Chen Jiaxuan in the Yanjing Book Building, and he planned to buy a book for pets and train him well.

Different types of books in the book building are distributed on different floors, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan take the elevator to the fourth floor, and the family of three standing in front of the escalator is a family of three.

"Kai Kai, I'll take you to buy books today, what books do you want?"

The little boy with the watermelon head, who looked to be seven or eight years old, thought seriously, "The teacher asked us to watch "The Little Prince", but I have already watched it! ”

"How about buying a copy of Aesop's Fables?" Seemingly some young dad suggested.

However, the little boy pouted, "I have a set, and I bought it last semester." I want to read other books, and I've read all the books the teacher said! ”

He was quite proud in his words, and it was not easy to be one step ahead of his classmates.

This family is starting to make difficulties, there are not many good-looking children's books on the market, and the slightly famous ones have already been read.

"Anyway, we have a lot of time, let's go up and look for it slowly, we will definitely find the right one for you."

"Hey, do you remember that book? It was Lin Han who read aloud on "The Reader", what is the name of the one who went on an adventure in outer space? ”

"I don't know, you can ask the shopping guide."

As the family spoke, they walked towards the children's book area, leaving only one back!

Chen Jiaxuan also said with emotion: "There are really too few children's books now, and many of them are foreign. ”

"You should be able to find it if you look carefully, Shuke and Beta, the naughty Bao Ma Xiao Jump, and the old master are all very good!"

"These are the old calendars you said, and children rarely look at them now." Chen Jiaxuan glanced at Lin Han, "Or you can write a real children's book." ”

Lin Han has written so many books, and there are almost no books that can really be regarded as children's books, at most they have some popular science nature.

His science fiction novels are basically for adults, not suitable for children, and basically cannot be understood until middle school and above, especially many hard science fiction and literary books.

Now the most popular children's book is the "George's Secret Key to the Universe" series written by Hawking, this children's science trilogy has accumulated a lot of money, and after being read aloud by Lin Han, it quickly became popular in China!

Excellent children's works are scarce, and this kind of entertaining and educational popular science stories are precious, obviously a book from several years ago, but it has been firmly occupying the top ten positions in the sales list since the broadcast of "The Reader", and it has been several months now!

"It's a good idea, you don't have to write children's science novels, you can try fairy tales or something."

Lin Han didn't expect that he would be able to think of these inspirations when he came to the bookstore casually, and the works he wrote for children could indeed be put on the agenda.

Chen Jiaxuan agreed, "In the future, when we have children, we can read to him the fairy tales you wrote, and I think it's very good!" ”
