Somewhere.

Vision Books.

Stand in front of the cash register.

The boss Lou Hou Bin can be described as full of sadness.

Looking at the scattered customers in the store.

Thinking about the expiration of the store and the need to renew the lease.

It was as if I was overwhelmed by a boulder.

If in the first few chances.

I wish I could get the order for the publication of 'Mr. Xizhou' from Hanlin Publishing House.

It's not going to be that hard.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"The Condor Heroes".

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

Take a look.

Any one of them can make a lot of money if you take it out.

It's a pity.

A small publishing house like myself is not looked down upon at all.

I can't even get in line.

Don't ask.

Asking is three words.

'Out of stock! ’

You said.

What can be done?

People are so in short supply.

I can only stare dryly.

on this matter.

Lou Houbin already had little hope.

But I overheard the small talk of customers.

It seems to say that the new work of "Mr. Xizhou" released by Hanlin Publishing House this time is not very popular.

I'm very disappointed in it, what's the matter?

Lou Houbin was quite curious.

Due to old age, eyesight is not good.

He put on his reading glasses and read some of the comments on his phone.

Stop.

That's really the way it is.

Fans have mixed opinions about Mr. Xizhou's new work.

There is a lot of controversy.

Some people think that his self-created theme is just a gimmick.

There are also those who think that his strength can do it completely.

It's quite messy.

See these.

Lou Houbin's mind suddenly became active.

If this 'Mr. Xizhou' continues to write about traditional martial arts.

He didn't even get a chance to get involved.

But the other party changed the theme.

Apparently there is a breakthrough.

While the heat drops.

Dealers will definitely place orders conservatively.

so

Isn't your chance coming!

Lou Houbin's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Even a little excited.

Too late to think about it.

He directly called his daughter-in-law.

"How much money do you have left for the family to move?" He asked, opening his mouth.

"What?"

The daughter-in-law said vigilantly: "You don't count how much money you have in your heart?" ”

"In this way, the child's share of the money will not be moved, and I will have to buy the rest." Lou Houbin thought for a while.

"Restocking?"

The daughter-in-law was taken aback: "No, don't think about it, this bookstore may be yellow one day, and you still want to put money into it?" ”

"What do you say, the bookstore is yellow, our family drinks the northwest wind." Lou Houbin was also an anxious person, and the anger suddenly came up.

"I said Lao Lou, no, let's stop this bookstore."

The daughter-in-law's tone softened and persuaded: "It just so happens that the contract is about to expire, and it is not better to do something else than this." ”

"You woman will come when you open your mouth."

Lou Houbin said in an unkind tone: "How many years have I been working in the bookstore, what business can be more convenient than this, and the loss will be lost." ”

"Then you can't invest so much money, where do you usually use so much." The daughter-in-law continued.

"It's usually usual, but now there is a chance, if we really talk about it, our bookstore will have a chance to completely revitalize."

Lou Houbin was too lazy to talk nonsense: "If you want to look forward to our family drinking the northwest wind, the money will be held on, anyway, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

"Okay, what are you throwing tantrums, I can't ask about this yet?"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, his daughter-in-law couldn't help complaining: "I'm really unlucky to marry you in this life, forget if I don't enjoy the blessing, I'm still worried all day long." ”

"Why are you talking about this, if the money is enough, will I still open my mouth to you?" Lou Houbin said dissatisfied.

"If this money is wasted, I'll see what you will do then." The daughter-in-law frightened.

"If you don't succeed this time, whatever you say in the future will be what you say, I, Lou Hou Bin, if I say one more word, I am not a gentleman." Lou Houbin was impassioned.

"Okay, that's what you said."

The daughter-in-law apparently agreed with this plan.

"I said it."

Lou Houbin hung up the phone domineeringly.

Settle the bill for a customer in the middle.

Then I called one of the editors of Hallym Press again.

"Hey, Editor Zhang, hello, I'm Lou Houbin, the owner of Yuanjing Books, and I want to book a new copy of 'Mr. Xizhou' with you, how many volumes? Naturally, the more the better, so if you have a rich inventory, how about bringing me 50,000 copies first? If it's not enough, add it, do you think it's okay? , okay, good, you can deliver it the day after tomorrow, right, no problem, it's really bothering you, okay, okay. ”

Really.

Hallym Press is still in stock!

Successfully won a single not to mention.

Listen to this editor.

I actually hope that the two sides can maintain cooperation in the future.

It was unexpected.

Lou Houbin can't wait to go on like this.

Time flows quietly.

Unconsciously.

It's December 10th.

No matter where you are, book lovers are optimistic or not.

"Zhu Xian" is still ushering in its release date.

Compared with the previous martial arts masterpieces of 'Mr. Xizhou'.

Whether it's in terms of attention or expectations.

In fact, this one is a lot discounted.

But not everyone cares.

For example, Lou Houbin, who closed down yesterday and completely rearranged the shelves.

He never doubted the creative level of 'Mr. Xizhou'.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have placed such a big order.

Isn't a new theme a new theme?

I really don't understand why those people on the Internet are so unoptimistic.

There are many different themes on the market.

I haven't seen anyone stand up and criticize it.

It's just a mess.

But in a sense.

Lou Houbin really has to thank them.

Without them, these public opinions came out.

I can't catch the big ship of Hallym Publishing House.

Morning.

Eight o'clock sharp.

Lou Houbin dragged the ground again.

And then it was open as always.

His small bookstore is located in the middle of nowhere, and the place is not big.

So there are no extra clerks.

I take care of it by myself on weekdays.

I don't think it's too hard.

I even feel idle from time to time.

Present.

It's still early.

No guests came through the door.

He chatted with some neighbors next to him for a while.

Gossip about the latest anecdotes or something.

Who's a family of two fights.

Whoever the dog bites someone.

Everyone's house was sold because of gambling.

Varied.

I sat outside for about half an hour.

Only a few customers walked into the bookstore one after another.

When you see the interior look new.

These people were immediately taken aback.

All the shelves have been wiped clean, not to mention.

The top few layers were unified, and all of them were replaced with the book "Zhu Xian".

At a glance.

It's hard not to pay attention.

"Yes, boss, you have a new work of 'Mr. Xizhou'."

An old customer immediately quipped: "It seems that there is no shortage of goods." ”

"That's not it, it's not that you don't know how difficult this 'Mr. Xizhou' work is."

Lou Houbin smiled: "I finally got it." ”

"That's right, but I heard that this time, the new work of 'Mr. Xizhou' has changed the theme, and it's not martial arts."

The customer said, "I don't know how the quality is." ”

"Don't worry, people have written three fine books in a row, it's almost the same, just take a look." Lou Houbin didn't know where the confidence came from, so he said.

"Okay."

Hear the words.

The customer smiled and nodded.

It can be seen that he also likes 'Mr. Xizhou'.

I immediately took a copy of "Zhu Xian" and flipped through it.

This man is fast.

Previous chapters.

It's almost a swallow.

Let's look at a rough framework.

But to the back.

The speed at which he flipped through the pages slowed down.

Qingyunmen!

Big Bamboo Peak!

Three-eyed monkey!

Burn the stick!

Seven Veins Martial Arts!

A figure emerges.

One event after another.

The plot has ups and downs.

The characters have distinct personalities.

The unique charm of the Oriental Xianxia legend overhead world can be described as magnificent.

This man was almost stupid.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that the worldview was collapsing.

Xianxia!

It turns out that this is Xianxia!

It's a whole new world system.

It's terrifying, isn't it?

I just feel that the ones I saw at the beginning can't be compared to them at all.

It's not that the writing of this "Zhu Xian" is excellent.

It's that it's too new.

The story is also too exciting.

Martial arts have.

"Zhu Xian" is also available.

Martial arts don't have it.

"Zhu Xian" also has.

Lines.

The original genre of 'Mr. Xizhou' is impacting the brain all the time.

"What's going on, buddy, isn't the quality of 'Mr. Xizhou' declining particularly badly?"

At this time, a person next to him suddenly asked him: "I see that many people on the Internet are spraying." ”

"Slippery? No kidding. ”

He couldn't help laughing at himself and said: "You better take a look for yourself, this book is more exciting than anyone imagined, and it doesn't even lose his trilogy." ”

Let's talk about it.

Ignore the man's stunned look.

I immediately came to the cashier to check out.

After Lou Houbin found him change, he asked with a smile: "This book didn't disappoint you, did it?" ”

"Great value for money."

The man thought for a moment.

Just four simple words remained.

Lou Houbin was very excited.

He knows.

Bet right!

Things continue to move in an uncontrollable direction.

There weren't many customers in the morning at Envision Books.

But ten people came in.

Ten people will go out with a copy of "Zhu Xian".

That's not an exaggeration.

Unless you don't look at it.

But just pick it up.

No one can put it back the way it came.

Don't look at the shelves that are full.

But I can't stand it like this.

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon.

It's almost all empty.

For the first time, Lou Houbin felt that he couldn't keep an eye on it.

It's up here.

There's still a bill to settle over there.

Tossing back and forth, he was sweating profusely.

In the beginning, I naturally enjoyed it.

But it's been a long time.

It's a bit of a solo.

After all, it's old.

The two legs are not like those of young people.

Because of the existence of this "Zhu Xian".

Today's customers are exceptionally dense.

As a last resort.

Lou Houbin could only ask his daughter-in-law, who was still at work, to ask for leave to come over to help.

I finally survived the first day.

I didn't expect the next day to be even more terrifying.

It hasn't opened yet.

There was a queue of more than a dozen people at the door.

A bookstore that has been in business for so many years.

It was the first time for Lou Houbin to experience the feeling of being blocked by a book lover.
