Chapter 290: True Martial Arts
Seeing Jin Xiangping leaving in a hurry, the owner of the bookstore thought about it for a while, then took out his mobile phone and gave the supplier hundreds of sets of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The owner of the bookstore is called Qi Jiantao, as the owner of a bookstore that has been running for more than ten years, he knows very well in his heart that if a book can suddenly sell dozens of copies in a day, then the book must have a tendency to become popular.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Qi Jiantao muttered to himself, as if he remembered something, and flipped under the counter again, and pulled out a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" with a slightly broken cover.
This set of books was accidentally knocked during unloading and handling, resulting in a little flaw on the cover of the book, which was naturally not easy to take out and sell, so Qi Jiantao casually put it under the cabinet after unloading at that time.
Originally, I didn't take this matter to heart, after all, bumps are inevitable when unloading, and in this case, Qi Jiantao usually takes it to see or give it away.
It was only after the book sold out today that he remembered it.
Martial arts Qi Jiantao has not watched it for a long time, because he can't see anything new in the current martial arts.
Therefore, when placing orders for suppliers, Qi Jiantao generally chooses not to order, or tries to place as little as possible, because not only does he not watch the current martial arts, but people also don't like to watch them.
However, the sudden popularity made Qi Jiantao a little more interested, he wanted to see what kind of book it was, and it could suddenly explode.
While thinking, Qi Jiantao opened the somewhat flawed book cover.
"Zhang Songnian? This name sounds a little familiar" Looking at the author's name on the cover of the book, Qi Jiantao felt very familiar, and seemed to always feel that he had heard of this name somewhere, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Qi Jiantao began to read the book seriously.
"Hey, this martial arts book really doesn't seem to be the same, it's interesting."
After reading the first 20,000 or 30,000 words, Qi Jiantao was a little surprised, the martial arts of this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" gave him a very different feeling.
The background is no longer limited to the rivers and lakes, and the contradictions no longer seem to be between families or between sects.
The worldview of this book is bigger than anything he has ever seen before, and the pattern is the same, and the pattern of national hatred and family hatred is even more heart-wrenching.
And the plot is in just tens of thousands of words, and the image of the main characters is directly outlined with a small amount of pen and ink.
Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's standing up to the sky, Bao Xi's weakness, Li Ping's perseverance, as well as Qiu Chuji's jealousy and hatred, and the love and righteousness of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan.
The wind and snow night terrors of the two Guo and Yang families, as well as the eighteen-year covenant made by Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan after the war in Fahua Temple, the connection between the two main plots is quite smooth, which makes people feel heartwarming and quite refreshing to read.
It's been a long time since I've seen martial arts with such a wonderful plot, Qi Jiantao's whole body and mind are deeply attracted by the plot, this one called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" seems to have a magical magic, which makes people can't help but look down, just like reading online articles.
But whether it is the literary literacy of the writing or the compactness of the plot, this book is not comparable to the online text.
"Hey, boss!" The boss directly pulled Qi Jiantao back to reality.
Qi Jiantao looked up at the person in front of him, who looked like a young man who was not very old.
"Do you have a book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" The young man asked.
Qi Jiantao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head.
Now he has one copy in the whole bookstore, but not to mention that the cover is flawed, and even if he doesn't, he won't be able to sell it to anyone else this time.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a good-looking martial arts, so I have to keep this book for myself.
"No, it's sold out." After Qi Jiantao shook his head, he replied casually.
I glanced down at the watch on my wrist, it would be ten o'clock, but I didn't expect that the time I read a few chapters would be twenty minutes.
It's almost time, it's time to end today's business, Qi Jiantao thought to himself.
Usually, the bookstore Qi Jiantao will usually be open until about twelve o'clock, although there are no customers at this point, but he also has nothing to do when he goes home, and he can stay in the store for a while longer, after all, he can sell a copy to earn money.
In the economic downturn these years, you can earn more if you can.
But Qi Jiantao doesn't want to work overtime tonight, anyway, there are not many people at this point, even if someone comes, it is estimated that it is about the same as the young man in front of him, and he is also planning to buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been sold out today.
Think of it as a way to relax and watch a little more today.
Hearing Qi Jiantao's answer, the young man's face was a little disappointed at first, and then after seeing what Qi Jiantao put on the table, he suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "Boss, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, don't you have a copy in your hand?" ”
Qi Jiantao smiled when he heard this, then picked up the book in his hand and closed it, then showed him the flaws on the cover of the book, and immediately replied: "This book is a little flawed, so I won't sell it, I'll keep it for myself." ”
The young man's eyes kept staring at the book in Qi Jiantao's hand, and then said: "Eh, I don't care, it doesn't matter if there are flaws, I just like books with a little bump, sell them to me, I can buy them at the original price."
Ran Xinwen has already run to several bookstores tonight, and he has not bought the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and all bookstores have said that they are out of stock when they go to him, and he is very depressed in his heart, after seeing the book in Qi Jiantao's hand, his eyes suddenly glow.
He was just bored flipping through the magazines of the martial arts weekly today, and accidentally saw the beginning of the last article of the martial arts weekly "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Ran Xinwen, who originally just wanted to pass the time, found that this called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was too appetizing for himself.
And after reading the tens of thousands of words on the martial arts weekly, Ran Xinwen, who didn't know the plot, was itching in his heart, and he was very anxious about how the next story of the Condor would develop, as if it would be difficult for him to sleep tonight if he couldn't see the next plot.
After thinking about it again and again, Ran Xinwen decided to go to the bookstore to buy the books back and read them slowly, but he ran to so many bookstores in the district, and without exception, the books were sold out today.
The bookstore owners of book friends are the same as Qi Jiantao, martial arts are really not selling well these years, and they are afraid of accumulating inventory and affecting the capital turnover of the bookstore, so the number of purchases is not much, only a small number of dozens of books.
In fact, there are not many bookstores in this district, and a bookstore estimates that there are only twenty or thirty sets of stocks, and the whole district doesn't know if there are a hundred copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on sale, so after Ran Xinwen ran to Qi Jiantao's last bookstore, all of them were sold out without exception.
I finally saw a copy here, not to mention that its cover is a little broken, but there is no cover, and he has to buy this book.
But if you think so, Qi Jiantao will not sell this book, and he hasn't finished reading it yet.
When Ran Xinwen heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "The boss who can add money can sell me this book in your hand." ”
Qi Jiantao was stunned when he heard this, this young man is quite persistent, and he has to buy it with more money.
However, Qi Jiantao still refused quietly.
It seems quite attractive to sell it for more money, but how much money can be added to a book, and he is not short of those few dollars, and if a book is multiplied several times and then sold to him, it is difficult to have a good conscience.
I can't agree to add money no matter how much I want to.
In normal times, Qi Jiantao might really sell it to him at a low price, but he will also be deeply attracted by the plot of the Condor Shooting.
Qi Jiantao smiled, and then said to Ran Xinwen: "I still want to read this book, it won't be sold, I have already placed an order for the supplier, and a new batch of books will arrive at the bookstore tomorrow, and I will leave you a copy early then, and you can come back tomorrow." ”
When Ran Xinwen heard Qi Jiantao's tone, he immediately knew that there was no play, and he was a little disappointed in his heart.
Hey, I look like I'm going to be unable to sleep tonight, and now my mind is full of the plot in the book, which is neat.
Seeing Ran Xinwen's somewhat disappointed figure, Qi Jiantao thought for a moment, and then took out his mobile phone and added another batch of quantities to the supplier, according to this momentum, if he only placed an order for a few hundred copies, he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it for a few days.
——
The next day, when Jin Xiangping went to work in the morning, he kept yawning and looked listless.
The book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is so top-notch that after buying it from the bookstore, he only planned to go to bed after reading it for an hour, after all, as a part-time worker, he still has to go to work during the day.
It's just that I watched it for hours unconsciously, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't stop the sleepiness at two or three o'clock, Jin Xiangping felt that he could continue to watch.
"You kid has been yawning since he came this morning, why did you go last night, I told you to be modest." Seeing Jin Xiangping's yawning appearance, the colleague next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but ridicule Jin Xiangping.
Jin Xiangping glanced listlessly at the colleague next to him, and then silently took out a set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from his bag and handed it to him.
"Here you go, Dad sent you, don't thank me." Jin Xiangping yawned again, rubbed his eyes and said.
are both colleagues, the relationship between the two is not bad, and Jin Xiangping saw him asking for help in the circle of friends last night and wanted to buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so he happened to buy a few more copies, so he simply brought one over to him.
The colleague took the things handed over by Jin Xiangping, then glanced at them, and after fixing his eyes, he asked with some shock and surprise: ", you actually bought this book, I ran two bookstores last night and didn't buy it, and they all said that it was sold out, and my feelings were all bought by your kid." ”
Jin Xiangping nodded a little proudly and said, "Well, there were still a few sets of bookstores near my house at that time, so I simply bought them all, and I knew that there would definitely be people who would not be able to buy this book today, hehe." ”
"I read this book last night until two or three o'clock in the morning, and my spirit is a little bad today." Jin Xiangping glanced at the book in his colleague's hand, and finally pointed to his face and said with a smile.
", no wonder, I said that your kid usually works very seriously, I don't know what's going on today, I actually touched the fish and touched it all morning, it turned out that I didn't sleep well last night and actually watched this." The colleague put away the book in surprise, then patted Jin Xiangping's shoulder and said with a smile: "Strong, yes, you can be my father today." ”
"No, I don't want to have a rebel like you." Jin Xiangping hurriedly waved his hand, and then said back with a smile.
After being poor with his colleagues for a while, Jin Xiangping's mental state was much better, thinking of staying up late last night to watch it, he couldn't help but show off to his colleagues and said: "I told you that this book is really well written, it's too awesome, I can't sleep at night, it's really the best martial arts I've ever seen." ”
Hearing Jin Xiangping's somewhat exaggerated tone, the colleague asked with some suspicion: "Is there such a god, better than Wen Xinglong, Xue Wenlin, and others?" ”
"I also read Martial Arts Weekly, the beginning of this book is really good, but if you want to surpass Wen Xinglong, Xue Wenlin's previous classics are still a bit difficult, right?"
After hearing this, Jin Xiangping immediately waved his hand to express his disapproval and replied: "I don't agree with what you say, this is really the best-looking martial arts I have ever seen, Wen Xinglong and those people are completely incomparable." You also saw that in the martial arts weekly, they all admitted how good this book is. ”
"Hey, isn't it polite for them to say this, to be honest, I still think Wen Xinglong's works are more classic." Colleagues also disagreed with Jin Xiangping's statement, and retorted with some raised bars.
“.” Jin Xiangping didn't know how to refute for a while.
I thought about it again and again, why did I have to argue with him, I didn't read this book last night, and it seemed that I had the same idea as him.
Jin Xiangping said simply: "You will know if you read it, if you still think your point of view is right after reading it, then I will lose." ”
That colleague is not the end of the line, after seeing Jin Xiangping's sworn assurance, he also began to waver a little when he thought of the amazing tens of thousands of words.
So taking advantage of the lunch break, he opened the set of books that Jin Xiangping gave him and began to read carefully from beginning to end again.
The two-hour lunch break passed quickly, and Jin Xiangping didn't sleep well because he didn't sleep well last night, so he wanted to sleep beautifully during the lunch break, but when he was about to go to work, Jin Xiangping was suddenly woken up.
The colleague who was arguing with him in the morning shook his back excitedly, and said with some excitement: "Xiangping, what you said is so right, this book is indeed too exciting, Wen Xinglong's work is not at the same level as this book at all,"
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. This is the real martial arts! ”
