It's already hot at noon in June.

After Lin Guzhi had lunch, he carried a fan, and while fanning the wind, he walked to the bookstore not far from his house.

Since yesterday, the market has been full of advertisements for the physical book "Romeo and Juliet", and even his must-see "Canton Evening News" has been promoted for this work.

As a self-proclaimed fan of Su Wen, Mr. Lin must support Su Wen's works, no, after lunch the next day, he planned to go to the bookstore to buy two copies of "Romeo and Juliet".

Why buy two?

One is for him to collect, and the other is for his granddaughter Lin Yutong.

In two or three days, it will be the annual college entrance examination of the Chinese Empire, as a senior in high school, Lin Yutong is in a state of nervous preparation these days, except for going to school every day, that is, going home, in addition to eating, is studying and resting, and if he wants to support Su Wen, he can't spare time to buy books.

Therefore, she could only ask her grandfather to buy it on her behalf.

Lin Guzhi is retired at home, and he is happy to help his granddaughter do this, and it is also his duty to support Su Wen.

When he walked slowly to the bookstore, although it was time to eat, there were still many boys and girls who looked like students in and out of the bookstore.

Ringuzhi asked the salesperson where the Romeo and Juliet bookshelf was kept, and walked over.

This is a place where new books are put on the shelves, and there is a salesperson who helps guide the shopping next to him, and next to him, there are more than a dozen people gathered around, including students and adults.

As soon as he got closer, Lin Guzhi heard many people shouting: "Give me Romeo and Juliet". I want two! ”

"What do you want two books for, people say that the supply of this book is tight now, and there are only a few dozen copies left!" Someone asked unconvinced.

"What do you care I do! My son told me to buy it. I can't buy it yet? ”

“……”

"Uncle, give me five copies of Romeo and Juliet." A student-like man asks for books while paying for it.

There are as many as five books, which has aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

The student was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, my classmates told me to buy it, and they all gave me money, please ask me." I can't do without! ”

Only then did everyone sigh and urge the salesman to hurry up.

When one of Ringu heard this, he panicked. "Romeo and Juliet" is so good to sell, it has to be restricted?

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lin Gu thought to himself, "Didn't you just announce the listing yesterday?" Why is it out of stock, is it because this bookstore is understocked? ”

Some people complained to the salespeople that their bookstore was too understocked.

I only heard the salesman smile bitterly and said, "Everyone." It's not that we don't get in. It's this book that's so popular! Normally, when we buy a new book in our bookstore, there are about 100 books, but this time we took more and bought 150 books. However, everyone has to buy several copies locally. Many students come and ask for more than five books, and they all say that they buy them for their classmates. You don't know what the author of Romeo and Juliet is said to have won the first place in the competition. It is the idol of many middle school students in our province, and everyone wants to buy his works and take a look. ”

"You're right. I also bought it for my daughter, and she said that the author of this book is her idol! ”

"Cut! Isn't it just Su Wen? I've heard of him, but it's not enough to idolize him, right? I also heard about his reputation, so I wanted to buy a copy to see if it was really that powerful. ”

"Little brother, haven't you seen Romeo and Juliet? The performance is really good, we bought the original book because of the performance! ”

“……”

Buyers get the news from a variety of sources, but they all come for the fame of Su Wen or Romeo and Juliet.

Lin Guzhi looked at "Romeo and Juliet" on the bookshelf, it seemed that there were only a dozen copies, and then looked at the scene, there were still seven or eight people, he hurried over to line up, for fear that he would be one step behind and gone.

There are also people who read other books next to them, and they don't buy "Romeo and Juliet", seeing that the scene is so hot, they can't help but count and say: "These people are too easy to be fooled, I have seen their publicity for this work in the past two days, it is too high-profile, or too unremarkable!" The current booksellers are really shameless in their publicity, and the name of the first boy on the first day seems to be worthless! Does it make sense? ”

Whew!

The people in line turned their heads in unison, staring at the source of the sound and glaring at the person.

"You ...... See what I do? The man panicked.

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "Friend, don't you know that Su Wen's title as the number one teenager is not a lie?" There is a first place in the middle school students' literature contest every year, but not all the first place works can be published in the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature"! For this alone, Su Wen deserves the title of the first among his peers! ”

"That's it, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Someone chimed in.

The man didn't give up: "I don't listen to the deception of the bookseller now!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "I'm not the kind of person who is fooled. I forgot to tell you that I am a middle school Chinese language teacher, and I usually write articles for publication in newspapers and publications, and my lifelong dream is to have an article published in the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature". It's a pity that after 20 years of pen farming, there is no such honor! I just wanted to see what level Su Wen, who could publish three articles in the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature" at the same time, and what level of his drama works was, so I came to buy the book! ”

“……”

Everyone stopped arguing and concentrated on buying books.

One of the Lin Gu sighed happily while lining up: "This Su Wen ...... It's really become a climate, and many people support him. Judging by the current situation, this book must be selling like crazy! ”

It was Ringuzhi's turn to buy two copies, and there was not much left of Romeo and Juliet in the bookstore, which was quickly bought up by the readers who came after. The salesman looked helpless and called the boss and asked him to speed up the purchase.

Don't do anything else, just enter Romeo and Juliet!

……

"Boss, Luo Zhu is out of stock, hurry in! Which Rojo? What else could it be, it must be Romeo and Juliet! ”

"Boss. Why doesn't your bookstore even go to Romeo and Juliet? You're too far behind, aren't you? What, not not in, sold out? You've only made a few copies, right? What. You bought a hundred copies, and they were gone in less than three days? Isn't your bookstore very remote, why is it so easy to do business? ”

"Boss, bring me a copy of Romeo and Juliet...... What, gone? How do you do business...... I've gone to three bookstores, and I still don't! Die, you guys! ”

"Romeo and Juliet ......"

Romeo and Juliet!

For a few days, even though the annual college entrance examination is being held. None of them could stop Romeo and Juliet from selling well in bookstores.

The hot sales scene made the bookstore owner both happy and regretful. The joy is that the sales are sold out and the money is made; Regret is only when it is an ordinary piece. The stock volume, like other works, was quickly out of stock.

"Mr. Li, hurry up and ask your printing house to give us 300 copies of Romeo and Juliet! What, in the hands of dealers? But they said it had been distributed to major bookstores. It's out of stock anymore! ”

"Mr. Li. When will your Romeo and Juliet be printed? I want 300 copies...... Oh no! I want 500 copies! ”

"Mr. Li ......"

Li Xiuying's phone was blown up all of a sudden, she didn't expect that the physical book of "Romeo and Juliet" had only been on the market for five days, and many booksellers called to say that they were out of stock.

This is not scientific!

They had a first printing of 1 million copies, and they didn't have any inventory, and they all went to major bookstores through distributors, 700,000 copies in the province. 300,000 copies outside the province.

It's only been a few days, and all major bookstores in the province have called to say that they are out of stock. Doesn't that mean that 700,000 copies are almost finished?

That's a bit too exaggerated.

It is true that in the domestic market, it happens that some writers sell millions of copies in one day, but they are all famous writers, and their fame is outside, and with the ability of cultural companies, they can suddenly store their goods in the national market, and such a sales myth can be born.

What's in Romeo and Juliet?

Qingxin Culture Company only dared to distribute 300,000 copies in other neighboring provinces, and planned to digest another 700,000 copies in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province in a month's time.

Now it seems that she miscalculated, not optimistically, but poorly!

Although these calls do not mean that the 700,000 copies in the province have been sold out, they also prove that the 700,000 copies of the books have been almost digested in the past five days.

Five days only!

Li Xiuying was very bold and ordered the printing house to print an additional 1 million copies!

With a total of two million copies, she has already calculated it, even if Guangdong Province can't sell it out and the backlog is backlogged, with the opening of markets outside the province, it can be slowly digested without losing money.

It can even be said that with the current market, this book must be a big profit!

When the reprinted book had not yet entered the market, a week had passed, and the weekly sales data table of "Romeo and Juliet" from various places had also been handed over to Li Xiuying.

Of the 300,000 copies in the market outside the province, almost 200,000 copies were sold, reaching about 185,000 copies.

This data has made Li Xiuying very satisfied: "After all, the performance of "Romeo and Juliet" is still limited to the province, and the sale of this data still takes advantage of the gimmick hyped by Su Wen's recent fame, which has attracted the attention of many middle school students and prompted the purchase. It seems that he, the first place in the 50th Chinese Middle School Student Literature Competition, is still going to make good use of it! ”

After reading it outside the province, it was the data in the province.

The list is very long, Li Xiuying didn't have the patience to read it, but just glanced at it and found that the base camp in Yuezhou was the most popular, and then it was other urban areas.

All the way down, when she came to the total sales volume, when she looked at the data, Li Xiuying was stunned: "What? How much? ”

She thought she was dazzled, wiped her eyes, and looked closely, but the data still hadn't changed.

663,000 copies!

This is the actual number of Romeo and Juliet sold in Quang/Donghang Province for a week!

Six hundred and sixty-three thousand, plus one hundred and eighty-five thousand, that is a total of nearly eight hundred and fifty thousand!

Sold 850,000 copies in a week!

This is an astonishing figure, Li Xiuying can't believe it at all: "There are more than 660,000 in the province, maybe, when I am looking at this watch, the remaining more than 30,000 copies have been sold out!" This...... Is this a figure that can be sold by middle school students? That's going to break a lot of records, right? ”

Record-breaking!

Thinking of this, Li Xiuying couldn't sit still anymore, God treated her well, as if she had dug a big gold mine! (To be continued......)
