Chapter 289 Phenomenal Works

Chu Lan swayed and bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk. She didn't need to go to work on New Year's Day, so she planned to deliver breakfast to her husband.

Zhang Bowen left in a hurry in the morning and was anxious to go to the bookstore to open business. I thought I hadn't had breakfast.

People are iron rice and steel, and they are hungry even if they don’t eat for a meal.

There was nothing to do, and Chu Lan decided to be a virtuous wife for a day.

The bookstore downstairs of my house is too small and its location is not good. The sales are not as good as the newly opened bookstore. Most of the time, Zhang Bowen stays in the new store.

As he walked and stopped, Chu Lan was almost shocked when she came outside Hanlinxuan Bookstore. Why did she feel like she was full of people inside?

People of all ages have parents, grandparents, middle school students carrying schoolbags, and some young people.

They were scattered in the corner of the bookstore, wandering in front of the bookshelf, and there was a long queue in front of the cash register.

"I didn't do promotions today, why are there so many people?"

Chu Lan hurriedly walked in. She saw Zhang Bowen nervously scanning the code in the cashier to collect money and put it in bags, so she asked, "Do you need my help?"

In the past, there were almost never so many people in the bookstore downstairs of my own, even if Zhang Chu won the top scorer in the college entrance examination, because the area was too small and could not accommodate it.

Zhang Bowen looked up at Chu Lan, and he quickly said, "Come and help me collect money, I'll call to transfer goods."

"OK."

Chu Lan would occasionally take care of the bookstore and was quite familiar with the matter of collecting money, so she took it in an orderly manner.

Zhang Bowen didn't have time to have breakfast at this moment, so he quickly jogged to the warehouse to see which books were almost out of stock.

"Hello, there's a total of 21 yuan. Do you have one dollar change?"

Chu Lan asked with a smile, and she was just putting a book "Ghost Blowing the Light: Jingjue Ancient City" in front of her. After only a few minutes of playing a guest cashier, she had already sold three books written by her son, which made her feel as comfortable as eating honey.

One or two books, the more numb it gets, Chu Lan doesn’t know how many barcodes she has scanned. Anyway, the sales volume is particularly strong today, so I can take a rest and drink some water occasionally.

"Today, New Year's Day, everyone comes to buy books. Are you planning to make achievements for us?" The cashier girl on the side took a sip of water and said to Chu Lan: "The boss must send a big red envelope today!"

"Yes, the boss lady's book is quite popular. I only sold more than twenty books here, and your side must be the same. It's only been half a day."

There were fewer customers at noon, which gave them some spare time to chat. The female employee who was doing the cleaning also came over to chat.

Chu Lan smiled and she replied: "It's just that we can sell it here. I don't know how it sells in the whole country."

She just said modestly, and she couldn't exaggerate herself, just let others praise her son.

The new Hanlinxuan store is very good, located next to the shopping plaza, and the subway exit is just twenty meters away in front of the door, with a considerable passenger flow!

Not to mention having breakfast, Zhang Bowen didn’t even have lunch. He is contacting the supplier now. There are more than 400 physical books left in "Ghost Blows Out the Light" for the time being, but the rest of the books are also selling well.

Just as he looked at the bookshelf one by one, an elderly man with a child shouted him, "Comrade, do you know where the story book of Peppa Pig is?"

"The bookshelf there are many books on "Peppa Pig", you can choose one by yourself." Zhang Bowen pointed to the bookshelf not far away. The children's bookstores there are the most popular places in the bookstore.

The old man with gray hair smiled, "Thank you, and I want to ask where "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is? I heard ghost stories telling on radio before, but the content afterwards have not been finished. When I was a child, I heard my elders telling stories about tomb robbers, but at that time they said they were digging sweet potatoes, not fighting back."

Zhang Bowen is a little amused and crying. I hope the old man has a strong psychological endurance. Never be scared when watching "Ghost Blows Out the Light" or listening to the radio!

"Wait a minute, I'll help you get a ghost blowing light book."

"Oh, that's so troublesome, thank you."

From the age of sixty or seventy to the age of junior high school students at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the reader group of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is quite wide!

...

Similar to the situation of Jiangcheng Hanlinxuan Bookstore, bookstores across the country have successively put "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the shelves. After all, the distribution ability of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House is quite strong.

Whether it is Xinhua Bookstore with the most coverage, or other private petty-bourgeois bookstores like Sisyph, supernatural works like "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can even be placed on the bookshelf.

It is not easy to make money in physical bookstores now. I finally encountered a best-selling work. Of course, I can’t let it miss it in vain!

The publishing house has printed 800,000 physical books for the first time, and now it has sufficient supply, but it cannot resist the requests for bookstores across the country to transfer goods.

It took only half a day to sell it, and some conservative bookstores sold out their stocks. Who made them too brave and afraid of being unsalable, so they only bought ten or twenty books!

Not everyone has the confidence to get 500 books like Zhang Bowen.

When I was getting the goods, the popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was only on the Internet, and many stores were more cautious.

Now they realize that the popularity of this book has come to reality, and there is a trend of phenomenal works!

People talk about it when they walk, when they ride a car, and when they are still talking about it when they are chatting online.

The favorite thing about physical bookstores is this type of works that can drive other books to sell, and many anxious readers also need to go to physical bookstores to buy books to read.

They don’t like e-books, they like traditional reading methods such as paper books, but the novel is only released today, and it will take a day or two to deliver even if it is purchased online.

So going out to a physical bookstore is the best choice. Many otaku choose to go out on this day, not to embrace nature, but to see the follow-up content as soon as possible!

With many aspects of publicity, now is the season for harvest.

Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House was so happy that it was not in vain that they signed such high royalties with Zhang Chu. Now it seems that everything is worth it.

The only worry is that the contract only signed one, and there are seven movies after "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!

It is no exaggeration to say that a set of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can support a small publishing house.
Chapter completed!
