Chapter 25: Sold Out
Due to the very developed popular novel industry in this world, various offline bookstores, bookstores, newsstands, etc. are almost all over China.
Those who like to relax and entertain by reading popular novels will naturally easily buy the works they want to read.
The pricing of popular novels is much lower than that of other categories of books, such as Gu Qingge's "Who Contends" which is a physical book of 200,000 words, only 10 yuan.
Thousands of words and five points, this price is equivalent to the price after the original world online article was put on the shelves.
At the same price, readers will of course buy physical books, at least they don’t have to worry about the work being 404 and cannot review the work.
There is no doubt that popular novels in this world win by volume, taking the route of small profits but quick turnover.
Therefore, the paper and packaging used in printing popular novels reduce the cost as much as possible, and there will be no prefaces made by celebrities or waist seals.
These are all models that can maximize profits formed by the development of popular novels over the years.
The cover of popular novels is usually very fancy, and in addition to the title, it is a very exaggerated and eye-catching introduction.
At this time, in a bookstore opposite Handong High School, three male high school students saw "Who Contends" on the bookshelf of "New Book Express".
Its introduction is very exaggerated, such as "the most popular game e-sports novels throughout the year", "creating the e-sports novels in the year", "players of "Hero Glory" must not miss it"...
These three male high school students are of course students from "Shi Hanzhong". They are different from day students like Gu Qingge, siblings, and they are boarding students.
As a key middle school in Hanzhong, the provincial Hanzhong is still very focused on learning. Eighty percent of the students are boarding students. They only take holidays once a month, which is called "monthly vacation". They can only leave school on Sunday afternoon every week, and they have to return to school before 3:30.
Today is an ordinary Sunday in April. After lunch, Tang Chengbin, a senior high school student in Hanzhong, and his two roommates Huang Meng and Xu Xiaofei came to the "Chenguang Bookstore" opposite the school, preparing to take some popular novels and relax.
Tang Chengbin and the other two like to read popular novels, and they happen to be from the same dormitory, so they got very close and had a good relationship.
If they meet a novel they like, the three of them will each pay some money, buy it, and take turns reading it. This will naturally save a lot of money.
Tang Chengbin is still very financially savvy. He also rented out the books he bought with the three of them after reading them. After all the three of them read them, they rented them out at a price of one yuan a day. Not long after, they could earn back the money they spent.
In addition, this can also prevent some annoying free-time parties from borrowing books to read. Sometimes, sometimes the rented books will encounter unexpected problems and be confiscated by the teacher.
Because popular novels are full of entertainment, many students are addicted to them, which will affect their studies. Therefore, this is explicitly prohibited by Hanzhong.
But this is just like schools prohibiting premature love and carrying mobile phones. No matter how banned, it is impossible to prohibit cleanliness.
Anyway, cautious students are watching in the dormitory and will not be taken to the classroom. Unless a teacher goes to the dormitory for a sudden attack, it will be really difficult to catch the current situation.
Except for secretly reading popular novels in private, Tang Chengbin and the other two abide by school rules and regulations in other aspects.
They didn't carry their mobile phones, so naturally they didn't know that "Who and Conquer" is now well-known on the Internet. Many readers are waiting for it to be launched today and then buy it as soon as possible.
As an old bookworm, Tang Chengbin has read almost all kinds of popular novels, so when he saw the cover of "Who and Conquer", he naturally became interested.
Of course, Tang Chengbin is also very familiar with e-sports. After all, "Hero Glory" is very popular now. Every month when they go home on holidays, they will play with classmates who have good relationships for an afternoon.
Tang Chengbin's own account has all been covered by diamonds, which is already recognized as the thigh in the class.
But he knew that his level was far inferior to that of Gu Wenzhou, the day student in his class.
Tang Chengbin and Gu Wenzhou have a good relationship because they are deskmates. In addition, Gu Wenzhou also likes to read popular novels and has a common language.
Unfortunately, Gu Wenzhou is a free agent who is so shameless in Tang Chengbin's eyes.
Fortunately, Gu Wenzhou would not ask him to borrow books, but went directly to the bookstore to get a shameless job.
Of course, Tang Chengbin played "Hero Glory" with Gu Wenzhou, but his thigh at the diamond rank became a slut. Before he could exert much force, Gu Wenzhou rushed through the opposite side.
Tang Chengbin vaguely knew that Gu Wenzhou had the idea of playing a profession, but he felt that the other party was unlikely to succeed. The competition in the e-sports circle was too cruel, so it was not so easy to make a comeback.
When Tang Chengbin was watching "Who Confrontation", his other two roommates picked up a new book and started reading it.
Huang Meng reads the book "The World of Martial Arts", while Xu Xiaofei reads the book "The Light in Youth".
When Tang Chengbin was already attracted by "Who is in the Confrontation", Huang Meng and Xu Xiaofei couldn't help but complain.
Huang Meng said bluntly: "Did the old fantasy author like Beihai still live five years ago? The fantasy novel he wrote is too old-fashioned. After reading the beginning, there is no need to read it below. I can guess what he is going to fart. I will only try three years to sharpen his sword?"
With this in mind, Huang Meng has put "Fighting the World" back in its original place, and it is impossible to spend money to buy it.
When Xu Xiaofei heard Huang Meng’s complaints, he also played the book "The Light in Youth" in his hand and commented: "This youth love novel is also ugly. The male protagonist is a dog-licking silk, so he just licks it hard. Why didn’t he write about picking up girls in all kinds of tall, rich and handsome male protagonists? It’s really difficult for us old bookworms. If the books are gone, I want to write it myself!"
At this time, when Huang Meng saw that Tang Chengbin was fascinated by his eyes, he couldn't help but lean over and said curiously: "Brother Bin, how is the new book you have purchased?"
Tang Chengbin is now attracted by "Who is in the Confrontation", and he doesn't even care about his roommate's words.
And at this moment, several customers came to the bookstore in vain and said anxiously to the clerk: "Is there still "Who and Conquer"?"
The clerk said there were only five copies, including the one in Tang Chengbin's hand.
The customer happily paid for it and muttered: "What plane does this Qidian Publishing House have? The divine books like "Who and Conquer" are just so small. I went to two big bookstores and couldn't get it. I had to come to a small bookstore opposite the school..."
The clerk came to Tang Chengbin at this time and said, "This classmate, if you buy this book "Who is in the Confrontation" or not, the customer will buy it."
Tang Chengbin co-wrote the book and said decisively: "Of course I want to buy this book!"
In this way, the bookstore's "Who and Conquer" was sold out!
You know, "Who and Conquer" has only been on the market for two hours!
The key is that there are still many customers coming to buy it next, and they ask for "Who is competing with" by name!
The clerk was quite surprised by this. "Who Contends" is obviously a new work, but it has the momentum of a master's new book.
In this case, the clerk can only contact the store manager immediately, and the store manager of course calls Qidian Publishing House as soon as possible, two words -
Chapter completed!
