Chapter 27 A Good Reading Experience
June 2013.
Rongcheng.
Today, many bookstores have an extra copy of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
Booths are especially important when new books are on the shelves, and to take the simplest example, there must be a world of difference between whether a book is placed in a place that people can see at a glance when they walk into a bookstore, or where they need to find it for a long time.
Although "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was ridiculed by Yan Xiaokang, under Shi Chuanfeng's insistence, he still got a booth that was quite good for newcomers.
It's just that such a booth changes every day, even if it is for Shi Chuanfeng's sake, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can be placed in this booth for three days at most, and after three days, if the sales volume does not rise, it can only be suppressed by other books.
So the sales volume within these three days is also crucial!
Today, many people who walk into a bookstore want to check out the new books that are on the shelves.
Under the teaching of the people of the empire from an early age, they still attach great importance to reading, and they also like to see if there are any new good books to read recently.
Jiang Kai'an waited until half past five in the afternoon to get off work, and asked a group of colleagues to come to the nearest Penglian bookstore, and they were a group of six people, all of whom came to read books.
In fact, they don't necessarily have to buy books, many of them come to read white books, but they will buy three or four books a month, and many bookstores in the empire are more atmospheric, and they will not drive away people who read this kind of books.
A few people walked inside and looked at the new book, Jiang Kaian took a fancy to a copy of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" at a glance, and he was not very interested in other financial things and the like.
"What kind of book is this?"
A few other people came over with a little interest, but when they saw that the book they tried was in Jiang Kai'an's hands, they went to read other new books.
Jiang Kaian didn't look at the preface or other things, but went straight to the point and read the first chapter.
"Chapter 1, Childhood, Let's start with a dossier!" Jiang Kai'an looked at these with great interest, and then saw Li Chencan's rather interesting evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang, and immediately laughed: "Why do you write history like this?" I haven't seen it yet! But it's weird and interesting! ”
Jiang Kaian looked down at this book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" with great interest, and then ...... His eyes couldn't take his eyes off the book.
His expression was also changing richly, sometimes he was smiling, and he couldn't even hide his heartfelt smile, sometimes he frowned, sometimes he clenched his fists, very nervous, and before he knew it, he suddenly felt Yo Yun pat him on the shoulder.
"Yikes!" Because he was too obsessed with Shijie in the book, Jiang Kai'an was slapped by someone, and he was so stunned that he turned his head and saw that it was his colleague, and immediately got angry and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"When is it and still not leaving?" Jiang Kai'an's colleague said, "Look at your watch. ”
Jiang Kaian looked at his watch, only to find that he had spent two hours unconsciously! To be honest, when I used to read some fast-paced novels, I would forget the time like this, and sometimes I would spend three or four hours unconsciously...... But today...... God, he's looking at history! Forget the time?
"What book fascinates you like this?" Jiang Kai'an's colleague looked at the cover of the book: "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"? When did you start paying attention to history? ”
"It's not that I care about history...... It's this book that is really interesting......" Jiang Kaian was about to hand the book to his colleague, but after thinking about it, he put the book away: "Let's go, go home!" ”
"Inexplicable!" Jiang Kai'an's colleagues were a little speechless. And Jiang Kai'an had already taken "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to the front desk to pay at this time.
The cashier happened to know Jiang Kai'an, so he smiled and said, "Lao Jiang, I don't usually see you buying new books." ”
"This book is very good......
The next day, Jiang Kaian came to the office, he watched it for five hours like crazy last night, and he watched the first part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" directly! In this part, he saw the magnificent battle of the Yuan Dynasty, and also saw the process of Zhu Yuanzhang transforming into a fierce emperor step by step, but his grandson's country was usurped by his son!
The whole process, the rhythm is tight, the words are bloody, and it is continued in a witty tone, which makes people feel relaxed while reading it, but they can't let go of this book!
"When will the second book come out?" Jiang Kai'an is already struggling with this problem.
When he came to the office, because he watched "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" last night, his colleagues were a little curious, so they asked him...... After Jiang Kai'an told the matter, Xiong Kun, the colleague who called him yesterday, suddenly realized that he took "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" on his table, and Jiang Kai'an himself had finished reading it, so he didn't stop it.
Xiong Kun and Jiang Kai'an's reactions were similar, and they didn't feel anything at first, but they felt very witty...... But look at it...... He was dragged into Shijie in the book, and he couldn't get out again! The magnificent war scenes, the interlocking and penetrating interpretation of history, left him only seduced by this book, and he could no longer pull it out.
He really couldn't help but go to the toilet, who knows, when he came back, a person next to him, who was also curious, took the book to read, but couldn't pull it out, and now he won't return the book to him.
"! What a slut! Xiong Kun angrily gave a middle finger at this person, but there was nothing to do today, the office was about to swivel chair racing, thinking that his book was snatched away by others, Xiong Kun's heart was depressed again, he stood up directly, and said to Jiang Kai'an: "If the supervisor comes over later, it will say that I went to the toilet." ”
Jiang Kaian asked weakly, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xiong Kun said: "I'll buy a copy of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". ”
"Just look at me...... What are you going to buy for? Jiang Kai'an said incredulously, at ordinary times, Xiong Kun will never buy a book if he can rub books, but at this time, he actually wants to buy a book that can be rubbed to read! It's incredible.
"Whoa......" Xiong Kun angrily pouted at the person who had just snatched his book: "That birdman snatched my book, I can only buy one." ”
"You just have to wait!"
"I can't wait!" Xiong Kun was in a hurry: "I want to see it now!" Seeing Xiong Kun's appearance, thinking that he couldn't bear to release the volume, Jiang Kaian was deeply touched at once.
Xiong Kun continued: "This kind of book is not those fast food novels, this is a historical text, but it is expressed in a different way, and it is also very collectible to buy one!" ”
After speaking, Xiong Kun quickly ran out to buy books.
The same thing happened one after another in the next office, and this office alone contributed 4 sets of sales to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"! Not to mention the other offices that have been affected by them!
And such a thing happens similarly in many places in the land of Rongcheng!
The day after "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was put on the shelves, sales began to rise.
