Chapter Seventy-Two: Physical Books Sell
Monday.
Today is the day when the physical book of "The Legend of the Tang Poets" is on sale.
Ye Luo got up early.
Mom and Dad are still sleeping at this time, and the barbecue line is like this, they have to be busy until the second half of the night every day, and they basically have to make up for sleep in the morning.
Ye Luo quietly washed up, and did not eat breakfast at home, there are a lot of breakfast sold at the mouth of the alley, and the taste is very good.
Especially the stall run by Uncle Zhang and his wife at the base of the wall at the gate of the palace, don't look at the small stall set up by two old people, and there are not even a few low tables, but the breakfast here is the most complete and fragrant.
As long as Ye Luo has breakfast, he will definitely come here.
"Auntie, a bowl of fried noodles in oil, a sugar cake, a tea egg, and a salted duck egg." Ye Luo tightened his clothes, and the weather became significantly cooler after autumn.
"Xiao Ye got up quite early today." Aunt Zhang smiled.
"The spirit of today." Ye Luo also smiled.
Uncle Zhang grinned and said, "You've been eating fried noodles for several days, let's drink some tofu brain, eat two fritters today, and change your mouth." Eat sweet every day, and you will get diabetes later. ”
"Okay." Ye Luo couldn't cry or laugh.
After taking the tofu brain, Ye Luo didn't use the table, but pulled a butt pad and sat down on the steps of the palace gate.
Holding tofu brain in one hand and fried dough sticks in the other. Basking in the early morning sun and eating a hot breakfast.
The cool air of Qingqiu has been dispelled a lot.
Next to it, there are chatting diners who look like students from nearby universities.
"Second child, have you been watching "Tang Poets" these days?"
"Look, I must have to read it, our teacher even let me buy books."
"Our teacher also recommended it to us."
"Huh? Didn't you study history? Why do you recommend this book to you? ”
"This book is awesome, when we took a class on Tang Dynasty customs yesterday, the old professor said that this book was a lesson, and at the end of the year, let us all buy a copy to study it."
"It's okay to buy a copy, this writing is really awesome! It's still written by a host, and I don't even know what to say. ”
"Yes, I also deliberately searched for the author, the thief is young, and I see that netizens say that he is very good at playing chess and Go, what a god!"
"Well, let's eat quickly, and we'll go to the bookstore together in a while."
"I can buy it online."
"It's too slow to buy online."
"Yes."
The two of them chatted left and right, but they didn't know that the god in their mouths would be next to them.
Ye Luo sucked the tofu brain, and his heart was bubbling.
I can't imagine that one day I will become the object of other people's small talk and bragging, this feeling is really amazing.
After Ye Luo finished eating, he walked towards the unit, and it was still early to check in, and Ye Luo was not in a hurry. When passing by the bookstore, he also went in and took a turn.
In the morning, the bookstore had just opened, and there were not many people scattered inside.
As soon as Ye Luo entered the door, he heard someone ask: "Boss, is there "The Legend of the Tang Poets"?" ”
"Yes, the first one in the top row of the first bookshelf."
"Okay." The guy went over and took three copies in one go, "How much?" ”
"Forty-five one, one hundred and thirty-five in total."
The guy didn't speak, paid and left.
Ye Luo didn't stay in this bookstore for too long, and he didn't buy books.
He has a lot of sample books in his hand, and who has nothing to do to buy his own books to read!
Spending money to read your own books?
Isn't that insane?
Anyway, it was still early, and Ye Luo was not in a hurry to get to work, so he wandered around and went to several bookstores.
Not to mention, these bookstores that Ye Luo came to have "The Biography of Tang Poets" on the shelves, and they were all placed in the most conspicuous position.
By the time Ye Luo came to the unit, it was already past eight o'clock.
As soon as I entered the office, everyone gathered around.
"Brother Ye is here."
"I haven't seen Brother Ye for a few days, I miss me!"
"Brother Ye's writing is too good."
In fact, their office is the smallest, but the TV station is like this, whoever is famous is the brother, and no one feels awkward.
The young woman, Sister Zhang, directly took a new book she had just bought, twisted her waist and leaned over and said, "Brother Ye, give me an autograph?" ”
"Sister Zhang, don't tease me, I'm not a big star, what's my name." Ye Luo was flattered, "It's not worth anything if I sign my name." ”
"It's not worth it now, but it may be worth it in the future." Sister Zhang handed over a pen, "Write another sentence to my sister 'send Sister Zhang's book', if you become a great writer in the future, my sister will have the capital to blow when she goes out." ”
"What Sister Zhang said is reasonable, Brother Ye is affected, so write me two sentences." Sister Li, another young woman in the office, also came over with a copy of "The Biography of Tang Poets", "You kid can't spoil your sister Zhang alone, rain and dew are king, you know?" ”
Sister Li's mouth, it is really unbearable.
Ye Luo didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly took the pen and lowered his head to write.
When other colleagues saw this posture, they took out the books they had newly bought in the morning and handed them to Ye Luo.
"Brother Ye, give me the whole one."
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"I'll go, you've all bought books? I didn't buy it! Brother Ye, I'll buy you tomorrow and sign it, but don't forget. ”
Teacher Wu Qingyuan was even more outrageous, he took out four books directly from his bag, and said with a smile while holding a teacup: "Xiaoye, I have a bit of a lot, you are affected." By the way, write a sentence on the book for my brother, 'Mo Dao Sangyu is late, for the sky is still full of xia', this sentence is really good. ”
The colleague next to him was surprised: "Mr. Wu, are you here to help others bring books for autographs?" ”
Teacher Wu said helplessly: "It's not that there are many acquaintances in the unit, and some people are embarrassed to come directly, so they entrust it to me." ”
Ye Luo was a little surprised, he thought that his colleagues in the same office were idle and asked him for an autograph. I didn't expect that there were other offices?
Seriously, it's not that China Television has no hosts who have published books, such as those very well-known female hosts of literature and art, who have basically published books. However, the books they published are completely incomparable with Ye Luo, and they don't have Ye Luo's treatment.
In particular, Ye Luo is the host of the sports channel!
The sports channel has a big writer, which has become a well-known anecdote on their channel!
Now who doesn't know the leaf fall of the chess and card group on the sports channel?
Anyway, you don't need money to ask for an autograph, what if the book is really popular in the future? Then the current signature is the capital to boast about in the future!
Ye Luo didn't do anything else this morning, just signed and wrote a gift to his colleagues.
……
At the same time, the sales of "The Biography of Tang Poets" in major bookstores are also quite hot.
Within a few days, the book was out of stock!
"Boss, do you still have "The Legend of the Tang Poets" here?"
A young man was asking expectantly, but the boss shook his head with a wry smile: "No, it's out of stock." ”
"You don't have any more?"
The young man left with a disappointed face, this was the fifth bookstore he had found, and the answer was all the same.
The same scene happened in all major bookstores in the imperial capital.
Many people came to buy "The Biography of the Tang Poets" with great interest, but they all left with a disappointed face.
Out of stock!
Even many people can't understand it, but I clearly remember that this book was a physical version that was only released on the shelves a few days ago!
It's only been a few days, huh?
And you told me the book was out of stock?
Isn't that a joke?
Why didn't you find that there were so many people who liked classical literature in the imperial capital? Now everyone is a cultural person, right?
But no matter how readers scold, the fact is that the book in the bookstore has been sold out.
The phone of the Classical Literature Publishing House was directly blown up, and countless merchants asked for replenishment.
"Xinyuan Bookstore, right? Three hundred, right? Okay, send it right away. ”
"The Jinyu Bookstore on North Street of the Fourth Ring Road? A thousand? Your bookstore isn't huge, do you want to sell out a thousand copies? Okay, okay, okay, this is it. ”
"What? Five thousand? Are you sure? We don't care about retreating when we smash our hands! ”
……
"Hello? Publishers? Give me 3,000 sets of "The Biography of the Tang Poets"! ”
"I'm sorry, it's out of stock."
"Don't be funny, isn't this book selling well now, you don't want to ship it to me? In this way, I will pay and settle directly, don't delay, you give me some first! ”
"It's not a matter of whether the settlement is settled or not, it's that we really run out of stock......" The telephone operator of the publishing house also looked helpless, is it because I don't want to ship to you? That's what we don't have!
"What? Out of stock? Aren't you a publishing house? Is it still out of stock? The bookstore owner on the other end of the phone looked confused, and the publishing house was out of stock? Funny, right? He's been working in a bookstore for so many years, and this is the first time he's heard of it!
"I'm sorry."
"Excuse me! You guys are out of stock, won't you print it quickly? Are you embarrassed to say that it is out of stock? I've never heard of a publisher going out of stock! ”
Bang dang.
The bookstore owner hung up the phone in a huff.
……
"Manager Ma, what are you doing to eat? Teacher Ye's book has not been printed enough? What did I say in a meeting? Be sure to make sure you have enough books! That's how you guarantee it? ”
When Chairman Shao Xinzhong heard the news, he was about to explode.
A phone call passed, and the general manager of the publishing house scolded the dog's bloody head.
Manager Ma on the phone was full of grievances.
The book is out of stock, but I haven't printed enough?
I printed 200,000 sets in a week!
The machine is going to smoke!
Why can't you blame me for not selling enough? The production capacity is so large, what else can I do? I can't just copy it by hand, can I?
If you want to blame it, you have to blame Mr. Ye, this book is too popular! There's no time to prepare!
will scold me, if you have the ability, you can scold Teacher Ye!
But in the face of Chairman Shao, the top boss, Manager Ma didn't dare to say a word, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
At the same time, the printing department is all working overtime!
Don't give the if the machine smokes or not!
If it doesn't smoke, Lao Tzu has to smoke!
The printing press and I, there is only one left today!
