Meng Wen's alma mater, Tianjin University of Technology, is located in the Qingxi University Town of Tianjin City, and there are two more famous bookstores in the Qingxi University Town, one is Huaxin Bookstore and the other is Wanwei Bookstore.

Located in the southwest of Tianjin, Qingxi University Town covers an area of about 30 square kilometers and houses about 200,000 teachers and students. It is a new suburban city developed around higher teaching and scientific research institutions such as Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin University of Technology, Tianjin University of Technology, Tianjin Agricultural College, Tianjin Urban Construction University, Baode College of Tianjin University of Commerce, Jingu College of Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin University Software College, Tianjin Police College, Tianjin Examination Institute and other higher teaching and scientific research institutions.

Among them, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin University of Technology, and Tianjin University of Technology are three key schools in Tianjin, which are built together, known as the "center of Qingxi University Town". These three schools are all key colleges and universities in Tianjin, with relatively strong teachers and the largest number of students. Huaxin Bookstore is built between these three schools, and it is the largest and most comprehensive bookstore in Qingxi University Town.

About two kilometers away from these three schools, Tianjin Agricultural College, Tianjin Urban Construction University, and Baode College of Tianjin Commercial University are built together, because these three colleges are second-class colleges in Tianjin, so they are also known as the "Qingxi University Town Sub-center". The World Wide Bookstore is built between these three universities and is the second largest bookstore in Qingxi University Town.

In the morning, before Huaxin Bookstore opened, a large group of people gathered at the door early.

"Sister Yulan, are there any exams at school these days?" asked a girl in the bookstore who was sorting out the bookshelves to a girl next to her.

"I'm wondering, I haven't heard of any exams. Why are there so many students coming from outside? The girl named Magnolia replied.

Huaxin Bookstore is the largest bookstore in the university town. However, in recent years, the Internet has become more and more popular, and the school has its own library, so there are fewer and fewer people who buy books in person. At present, the main source of profit of Huaxin Bookstore is to operate students' exam tutoring materials, past professional exam questions, and then the school order tasks undertaken every semester. Other books are just window dressing, and unless you come across some new best-selling novel, there are very few to buy.

Usually, it is before the exam week or other important exams that there is such a grand occasion of waking up early in the morning to queue up to buy books. But it's just the beginning of November, and there are no exams.

"Forget it, what's the matter? Or are we two lucky, I heard that Wang Yuan and they sold it for more than 500 yuan yesterday. Look at the situation today, how can it be more than a thousand. Another girl said.

"yes, but when the door opens in a moment, you'll have to keep an eye on it. With so many students, if they lose a few books, it will be bad," Yulan said.

After the two of them finished tidying up the bookshelves, it was almost half past eight. Magnolia went to open the door of the store and told the students to line up and not to crowd.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as Magnolia opened the door of the store, the students outside rushed in, not caring about it at all. The students in front were about to ask the counter staff for advice, but before they could open their mouths, they were squeezed into the back.

"Give me a set of 'Xiao Li Flying Knife'" I don't know who took the lead and shouted first.

"Give me a set too"

"I'll have two sets"

......

The other girl was a little timid, and when she saw this scene, she was a little frightened and at a loss......

Still Yulan has some experience, so she took out a loudspeaker out of nowhere and shouted: "Everyone be quiet first, be quiet...... Get lined up and don't get crowded...... Otherwise, no one can buy books. ”

After shouting for a long time, everyone quieted down, you squeezed me and I squeezed him barely lined up.

A person at the front of the line shouted: "Give me a set of Xiao Li flying knives"

When the girl heard this, she paused for a moment. I haven't heard of this book.

"It's "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", Xiao Li Feidao has never heard of it, and he still sells books," the man was stunned when he saw the girl and corrected.

The girl looked at Magnolia as if she was asking for help. Yulan remembered that she had sold a batch a few days ago, but then she didn't buy it again for some reason. Yulan hurriedly replied for the girl: "I'm sorry, our book has been sold out, do you think you need anything else?"

At this time, Yulan suddenly had a feeling that something was wrong, wouldn't all these people come to buy this book?

"Sold out? What are you liaring ghosts? I was the first to come in today, who did you sell to, and it was sold out?" The man in front of him shouted loudly when he heard that he was unwilling. The next few students also began to shout when they heard this.

Yulan had no choice but to pick up the loudspeaker again, "I'm sorry, we did sell out, and we haven't entered it again since it was sold out last month." ”

"Damn, when did you do that, I'm talking about the second and third parts of Xiao Li's flying knife. Released today on the first day. You don't sue me, you don't know, so what bullshit books are you selling?"

Yulan reacted when she heard it, and it turned out that a new book had just been released. But I haven't heard of any new books in the store. hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be impatient, don't worry." I'm going to call our manager, maybe the new books haven't been shipped in the stack yet? Don't worry......

After saying that, Yulan hurriedly walked to the side and dialed the manager's number. "Manager Wang, it's not good. Do you know that "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" has a new book today?"

"I know, what's all the fuss. ”

"Then I haven't seen any new books in our store, are they still in the library?" asked Yulan.

"I didn't enter it at all, what's so good about a broken martial arts. It is estimated that I won't be able to sell a few copies, and it's not hard enough," Manager Wang said angrily.

I have to mention here that Manager Wang in Yulan's mouth is called Wang Liang. Although he funded the construction of this bookstore, he did only own 50 percent of the shares.

This is also thanks to his brother-in-law Wang Feng, who was the director Wang who went to Ouyang Die's office last time and wanted to buy the film and television copyright of Meng Wen's novel. Dredging up the relationship between the school for him, and finally giving 10% of the leaders in charge of book ordering at the three universities of Tianjin University of Technology, Normal University, and Polytechnic University each a 10% cadre share, and then the bookstore was established. This is also the reason why he was able to take on the task of ordering some of the books in the school.

Because his brother-in-law Wang Feng served as the director of the publishing house at Tianjin University of Technology, and his brother was the vice president, the relationship between the school in the early stage was basically settled by Wang Feng. As a result, 20 percent of the dry shares were obtained.

After Wang Feng met with Meng Wen last time, he called Meng Wen twice, the first time Meng Wen made an excuse to drag it out, and the second time Meng Wen had no choice but to tell him directly that he didn't want to sell it for the time being. Wang Feng saw that Meng Wen was not interested at all, and threatened to ban his book on the phone. Meng Wen didn't pay attention to it, if he really had that ability, he wouldn't rush to take advantage of his little advantage.

Because Meng Wen is a newcomer, his publishing is only concentrated in North China, and now, he is only well-known in North China. Tianjin is the second largest market in North China after Beijing, and there are many students in Qingxi University Town, which is one of the important book markets in Tianjin.

Wang Feng later contacted a bookstore near the university town not to sell Meng Wen's novels. After all, the nearby bookstores still rely on the school to eat, and they all sell him face, and martial arts novels really don't make much money. I didn't enter Meng Wen's books, at most I secretly entered a few books to try to sell. Others are still like this, let alone their own bookstore, which is even more unable to sell Meng Wen's books.
