Jiang Conghua is 50 years old this year, and he has taken over the family business from his father since he was 20 years old, and he has been a bookstore owner for more than 20 years.

Because of his family environment, he has been exposed to a wide variety of books since he was a child, and he reads an amazing amount of books, which he especially loves, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to take over the bookstore, because of his love.

As a middle-aged and elderly person who has read books and seen old since he was a child, Jiang Conghua can be said to have witnessed the glory and decline of martial arts.

When Jiang Conghua was a child, the bookstore still had a model of renting and reading, that is, paying a few cents to the bookstore, which was the end fee of the week, and then returned after reading it.

At that time, because of the lack of entertainment, even the TV set had not yet become popular in every household, even if there was a family with a TV, it was impossible to watch it all day and night, because at that time there were not so many TV dramas to watch in the TV.

Therefore, it became a popular entertainment at that time, and the bookstore at that time was always full of people, and people came to borrow and return books all day long, and some people sat directly in the bookstore to find a book and directly found a place to sit down and read it slowly.

And in those days, martial arts was everyone's most popular and best-selling book, and there was no one.

However, as Jiang Conghua grew up, the number of people in the bookstore gradually began to decrease, and it was no longer as lively as before, and the number of people who came to buy and borrow books gradually began to decrease.

In recent years, the number of books in the bookstore has gradually increased from magazines to various practice problems and supplementary textbooks for elementary and junior high school students, and the number of people who come to the bookstore has gradually increased, and the bookstore's business has been much better than before.

The torrent of the times is rolling in, technology is constantly improving, and people's entertainment methods are becoming more and more sophisticated.

The process of the times is accelerating, and the pace of people's lives is also accelerating, and with it, people's entertainment methods are becoming more and more impetuous.

From the very beginning of all kinds of KTV, game consoles, to the emergence of computers, the popularization of the Internet, and finally to the popularization of smart phones.

Jiang Conghua always feels that people now seem to be different from before, and it seems that few people can calm down and read a good book.

There are many reasons why physical books have gone from glory to decline, and one of the reasons is the diversification of people's entertainment methods and the gradual acceleration of the pace of life.

However, in the final analysis, the overall level of creation is indeed much lower than before, and Jiang Conghua always feels that this is the most important reason.

However, the abnormal flow of people in the bookstore in recent days has surprised Jiang Conghua.

The reason is that a book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was constantly asked by readers who came to the bookstore, and the more depressing thing was that Jiang Conghua did not buy much of this set of books.

Because the current structure of the bookstore has begun to slowly remove those entertaining books, most of the books in the bookstore are about student textbooks and exercises, because this is the wealth code.

It's hard to make money.

And the few sets of books that were sold out a long time ago, and Jiang Conghua didn't care much about it at first.

After all, this set of books was also sold out after a week in the store, which is considered a normal sales.

Because he was busy, he didn't notice that the stock in the martial arts area was gone, and when he found that more and more readers came to ask about the book, he remembered to find a supplier to buy it.

What made Jiang Conghua dumbfounded was that the supplier's answer to him was that they were also out of stock now, and the orders were a bit too much, and they couldn't supply them at all, so they could only wait for printing before they could continue to place orders, and Jiang Conghua could only queue up slowly if he wanted to continue to place orders.

Jiang Conghua was stunned when he heard the news, the last time there was a shortage of martial arts in the bookstore was more than ten years ago.

Fortunately, Jiang Conghua is not an old-fashioned middle-aged man, on the contrary, he is more fashionable than most of his peers and even his back, and he plays very well on various online social software and platforms, and there are many friends and group chats on the Internet.

It's just that when there is nothing to do, Jiang Conghua usually doesn't click on it.

This "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" quickly aroused Jiang Conghua's curiosity, and he wanted to see what kind of book could have such a hot popularity in this era.

opened Xiaopo Station to search for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and found Kong Rouyuan's video at a glance, looking at the most popular video with tens of millions of views, Jiang Conghua couldn't help but murmur: "There is really a video, such a high number of playbacks, no wonder there are so many people who come to the bookstore to ask during this time." ”

While talking about Jiang Conghua, he clicked on the video, this book has been able to have so many people come to the bookstore to ask in the past few days, and I think most of it should be the credit of this video.

After spending nearly two hours watching a whole video about the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" series, Jiang Conghua's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It's a pity that I haven't seen this so far.,The content of the video is not as detailed as it is in it after all.。

In addition, as a person who has seen old since childhood, Jiang Conghua has always believed that a good story is always the most ideal way to express it through words.

However, this video is also extremely detailed, the story itself is a very good story, and the person who narrates the story has good skills, it is not very strange that this video can have such popularity.

It's a pity that I didn't see the physical book of this book first, and then watch this video, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be a lot less fun to read.

However, this still can't change Jiang Conghua's strong idea of wanting to take a look at this "Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After learning from the mouth of the supplier who was chatting with them just now that they were also out of stock, Jiang Conghua dispelled the idea of taking the book with them, according to them, it is unlikely that the book will be available for him in the short term.

Make a little less money Jiang Conghua didn't care much, after all, he had already made money by earning students in recent years, and it didn't make much difference to him if he made more money and earned less.

But after watching Kong Rouyuan's video, Jiang Conghua's heart was like tickling, the video can still be so exciting, wouldn't the martial arts rivers and lakes expressed through words make his decades-old bookworm more excited.

Jiang Conghua went around in his mind, and simply found a friend who was also a bookstore owner who usually played cards and drank together, and planned to ask them if they had any excess stock in their hands.

Jiang Conghua is a man of action, he belongs to the person who wants to do it when he thinks of it, he directly took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat group chat.

"Old brothers, there is a very popular martial arts book recently, have you heard of it?"

Jiang Conghua didn't ask directly, but inquired sideways, and soon his question was answered, the same bookstore owner, everyone has a lot of time, and because they often sit together, they are not too restrained when they talk.

"Oh, Lao Jiang is talking about the book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it has been really popular recently, and my store has long been sold out, it is really evil, there are still martial arts that can be so popular these years."

"Eh, don't say it just now, I don't know if you've read this book, after I read it, I think this martial arts book is better than anything I've read before, it's not unusual for him to be popular in this era!"

After seeing the news of the other person, Jiang Conghua was overjoyed, and this is the answer he was waiting for.

The person who has read it definitely has extra books in his hands, and Jiang Conghua is already thinking about how to borrow the other party's books.

And while Jiang Conghua was thinking, there were other people's bubbling in the group chat, "There is nothing wrong with what Lao Li said, I didn't expect that there are still people writing martial arts in this era, and they can still write so brilliantly, it's really a hell." ”

"Hell, I don't know you yet, if I say that this book was written by a young man under the age of thirty, would you believe it?"

"It's really fake, the writing in this book, as well as the historical materials in it, are quite exquisite, not to mention, you can see at a glance that the author's erudition is extensive, and the big truth in this book is not like the consciousness that a young person can have."

"I didn't believe it at first, but isn't my daughter chasing stars, what is the name of the very popular woman recently, Li Xingruo, and then when she saw the fame of this book, she told me that the husband of the female star is called Zhang Songnian."

"It's unlikely, it's just the same name, there are a lot of people with the same name in this world."

"If it's really the same name, I won't talk to you about this, I'll check it out, this Zhang Songnian is amazing, screenwriter, animation director, songwriter has multiple identities, and he has achieved the top level in the field, the most popular movies recently and the songs that are all on the street are all written by him, and now I'm afraid it's not the identity of multiple families."

"This is really unbelievable, the idea of 'the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people' actually came from the hand of a young man, he is really young and promising, no wonder female stars are obsessed with him, which is more than a hundred times better than the martial arts I have seen before."

“.”

Jiang Conghua just came out and threw out a topic, but he didn't expect these people to chat directly.

Seeing the person Zhang Songnian they were discussing, Jiang Conghua also took out his mobile phone and searched for it.

Li Xingruo can now be regarded as the top of the entertainment industry, and Zhang Songnian, as Li Xingruo's husband, also has a lot of attention on the Internet.

Because Jiang Conghua searched for it, he directly searched for videos related to Zhang Songnian.

Looking at Zhang Songnian's handsome face that was delicate and masculine, Jiang Conghua couldn't help but touch a few hairs in front of his forehead, and then let out a sigh of emotion.

"It's so handsome, it's almost time to catch up with my youth."

However, as he saw the introduction of Zhang Songnian's works one after another and the disclosure of his identity, the calm smile on Jiang Conghua's face disappeared.

This son is terrifying!

Judging from the few words of the chat of other people in the group just now, Jiang Conghua actually didn't have much concept of Zhang Songnian's identities.

However, after watching the video and knowing all of Zhang Songnian's masterpieces, Jiang Conghua once thought that this guy was just like the protagonists of that group of online articles, and he didn't open a plug-in.

It's no wonder that he was able to write a popular martial arts against the times.

Jiang Conghua is now more and more interested in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After switching back to the page of the group chat, Jiang Conghua saw that the others had already chatted for dozens of floors, and they chatted completely.

Jiang Conghua no longer concealed it, and directly recounted the few people who were chatting hotly, "Old brothers, you should have the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in your hand, the younger brother has not seen if he can borrow it for the younger brother, I am grateful!" ”

However, Jiang Conghua's thoughts came to naught, and soon someone replied: "Don't make trouble, you don't have your own collection of this book when you open a bookstore?" ”

"Hehe, I think this seems to be something that Lao Jiang can do, after all, his store has been full of students' textbooks in the past few years, and this money is simply crazy."

"It makes sense, but it's useless to look for me about this, I believe you all know that this book is out of stock now, at least it will be difficult to have new books in my store in a short time, Lao Jiang ask others."

"Hey, who isn't, it's the same in my store."

"I'm the same!"

“.”

After Jiang Conghua was ridiculed by everyone, the corners of his mouth twitched.

This group of people looked like they were pretending to be crazy and stupid, of course he knew that there was no such set of books in everyone's store now, and he was not a fool, and when the new books in their store arrived, he would not be in stock at that time.

That's not the answer to what you want.

"Don't pretend to be a few of your brothers, I don't believe you don't have your own collection of one or two sets." Jiang Conghua gritted his teeth and typed this sentence and sent it out.

"No, no, there is no set, all of them are sold out, and the book in my hand was also bought by a reader, and he is even willing to add money to the book that has been opened, what can I do?"

"I have it in my hand, but I haven't finished reading it, and when I finish reading it, it's not that I can't lend it to Lao Jiang, let's do it in a few days, and I'll send it to you when the time comes."

"You old boy is really enthusiastic, I'm afraid that the new book will arrive in a few days, I think Lao Jiang might as well wait for a few days, hahahaha."

“.”

After a few middle-aged people teasing and chatting, Jiang Conghua finally got his wish and borrowed a set of books from everyone.

Jiang Conghua didn't say a word, and directly handed over the store to his wife, and drove to his old friend's house to pick up the book.

When people reach middle age, they make a lot of money, whether it is internal or external, Jiang Conghua can't do it.

The children have also had their own lives, and he is quite smooth and complete in this life, but there are still some regrets.

Although I have made a lot of money with dividends in the past few years, my favorite stories are still those amazing stories in the world, with ups and downs.

That's the only thing he's going to be able to pursue at the moment. (End of chapter)
