Chapter 750 Inspiration
Each district and county has at least one larger Xinhua bookstore, and there are more small bookstores and private bookstores, and there is no way to fully count them.
In fact, every time the daily sales data released by the official website of the General Administration of Press, Publication and Publication does not really sell so much, but uses the real-time data reported by major chain bookstores, and then reverses the sales volume of the bookstore in accordance with the proportion. It is estimated that the sales volume of the bookstore is not reported.
In this way, the result is quite accurate. At the same time, the previous data will be corrected the next day and the third day.
To be honest, the box office statistics of movies are much easier than book sales. At least every cinema is in the theater model and is connected to the Internet.
Every time a ticket is sold, data will be left behind.
But books are different. Many small bookstores do not need to scan barcodes to pay. Even after scanning, there is no data to be fed back to the General Administration of Press and Publication.
Quanlin Bookstore, located on the Han River, is such a small bookstore. This bookstore is built with only two storefronts and is full of bookshelves.
When I go in alone, I feel a little crowded. There are dense books everywhere, mainly teaching materials and extracurricular reading materials.
After all, next to it is Hanhe County No. 1 Middle School. These students like to come to the bookstore to buy various teaching materials, five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation, full-score composition selection, hard-pen calligraphy copybook, Olympiad mathematics learning from one example and so on.
Students’ money is actually easy to make, and parents may be more cost-effective in other aspects, but they are definitely generous in their investment in their children’s education!
Different grades and different subjects have different teaching materials. Lin Han liked to buy "full explanation of middle school textbooks" when he was studying because this book contains all the answers to after-class exercises, classical Chinese translation, and English translation. My mother no longer has to worry about being named and answering questions!
Each grade has its own recommended book list for extracurricular reading materials. All books on this list are classics, so they can be bought even in small bookstores like this.
Huang Fei sat bored in the cashier in the bookstore. He had been working outside for several years.
Now come back during the Spring Festival to help me read the bookstore so that my parents can have time to take a break.
Since he was studying, his store looked like this. Now more than ten years have passed and it still seems that there is no change.
Now it’s the time for students to have winter vacation, and the business of the bookstore is relatively deserted. At least no book has been sold after opening today!
However, as the sun emerged from the thick clouds, the temperature had risen a lot, and there were more pedestrians on the streets.
The advantage of opening a bookstore at home is that you can read books casually. As long as Huang Fei wants to read books, there is no shortage of resources.
Of course, there are also bad times. For example, "Harry Potter" sold too well back then. The book he originally collected from the bookstore was also collected by his mother and sold. For this reason, Huang Fei once blamed his family.
"The Fall of Heberian" is neatly placed at the door, and the advertisement words "The Fall of Heberian" are written on the small whiteboard at the door, "The Fall of Heberian has arrived"!
Huang Fei's tastes of reading books are very mixed, including classic literary masterpieces, ordinary novels, online novels, youth literature, biographies, popular science encyclopedias, etc.
In fact, there are many benefits to reading, but people who are interested need to discover it slowly.
The biggest advantage is that it can make people live a more fulfilling life, learn different things, feel the differences in the world, and do not need to be under pressure to survive, wander in the world of words!
"Boss? Do you still charge money? If you don't charge money, I'll leave."
Huang Fei, immersed in the novel world, didn't notice when a young man came into the bookstore. After hearing this, he hurriedly raised his head and found that the person standing opposite him was an acquaintance!
"Charge money, definitely collect money!"
Huang Fei looked at the price of the book quickly, and he said, "Old Yuan, I remember that you didn't like reading books the most when you were studying. Now you actually read science fiction novels, okay!"
Yuan Hongming grinned, "People change. I fell in love with reading after work. I think reading is good. Old classmates, when will we come out to get together? We are still in touch with our high school classmates, but not many of them."
"Okay, when will you go to work?"
"What about you on the ninth day of the first lunar month?" Yuan Hongming asked back.
Huang Fei made a helpless expression and replied: "I'm going to work the day after tomorrow. If you're fine tonight, we'll get together? Call a few more people here, it's really a long time no see you."
Yuan Hongming thought about it carefully and said, "No problem, I'll go to the group to ask later. Huang Feihong, you still like reading books as much as before. Once you look at books, you don't care about anything."
Huang Fei's nickname when he was in school was Huang Feihong. He was obviously a person with a stronger atmosphere in books, but he was given this name.
"I'm very bored, just reading books to pass the time."
"Then how much do these two books cost? After I buy them, I will read them slowly while taking the train."
Huang Fei looked at the "Fallen of Hyberian" and "Me, Robot" on the counter. After calculating the price, he said, "I'll give you a 20% discount. The two books cost a total of 40 yuan."
He wanted to give it to his old classmates for free, but today is the first day the bookstore opens in the New Year. According to custom, he cannot do these things, and the bookstore still belongs to his parents.
Yuan Hongming took out two 20-degree money, then carried a plastic bag and said, "Don't forget tonight. We will talk about the specific location in the group."
"Okay, I'm going to come all the end of the world!"
The business finally opened, but it was money earned from acquaintances.
In the following time, Huang Fei sold several more books "The Fall of Heberian". It seems that the attraction of Lin Han's new work is quite suitable for the advertisements he placed on the small whiteboard outside!
Many people think that Lin Han has only increased sales compared to ordinary writers. They think that sales alone can only be considered a successful commercial writer.
But he thought he was self-righteous and ignored the achievements made by Lin Han in major science fiction awards and literary awards, perhaps because the sales figures were too dazzling, which covered the rest of the light.
...
It was just a small bookstore, and it sold seven or eight books of "The Fall of Hyberian" and other works in one day, let alone those large chain bookstores.
Few writers and publishing groups will place new books on sale during the Spring Festival, either before or after, or try to avoid them as much as possible.
But Renmin University Press did this. They are skilled and bold. Lin Han's success has given them too much confidence, so he successfully dominates the Spring Festival period!
There is no new book to compete with The Fall of Heberian, and it sells quite well even without publicity.
At this time, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan were wandering in the Yanjing Book Building. He planned to buy a pet-raising book and train Chai Chai well.
Different types of books in the Book Building are distributed on different floors. Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan take the elevator to head towards the fourth floor, and standing in front of the escalator was a family of three.
"Kaikai, today I will bring you to buy books. What books do you want?"
The little boy with watermelon head, who looked seven or eight years old, thought seriously, "The teacher asked us to watch "The Little Prince", but I have already watched it!"
"Or what if I buy a set of "Aesop's Fables"?" said the young father, who seemed a little young, suggested.
However, the little boy pouted, "I have a set, I bought it last semester. I want to read other books, and I have read all the books the teacher said!"
He is quite proud of his words, and it is very difficult to be one step ahead of his classmates.
This family is starting to get into trouble. There are not many good-looking children's books on the market, and all the slightly famous ones have been read.
"Anyway, we have a lot of time, so go up and look for it slowly, and we will definitely find the one that suits you."
"Hey, do you still remember that book? It was Lin Han who read "The Reader" and went to outer space for adventure, what's the name?"
"I don't know, I can ask the shopping guide."
As the family said, they walked towards the children's reading area, leaving only a back view!
Chen Jiaxuan also said with emotion: "There are really too few children's books nowadays, and many of them are from abroad."
"You can find it carefully, Shuke and Beta, naughty boy Ma Xiaotiao, and the old master are all very good!"
"What you are talking about is the old calendar, and now children rarely read these." Chen Jiaxuan glanced at Lin Han, "or you can write a real children's book."
Lin Han has written so many books, but there are almost no children's books, at most it has some popular science nature.
His science fiction novels are basically aimed at adults and are not suitable for children to read. They basically need to be understood in middle school or above, especially many books with strong hard science fiction and literary nature.
The most popular children's book now is the "George's Secret Key" series written by Hawking. This children's science trilogy has accumulated a lot of money. After being read aloud by Lin Han, it quickly became popular in China!
Excellent children's works are inherently scarce, and this kind of popular science story that is both educational and entertaining is extremely precious. It is obviously a book from several years ago, but after the broadcast of "Reader", it has been firmly occupying the top ten of the sales list. It has been several months now!
"This idea is good. You don't have to write children's popular science novels. You can try fairy tales or something."
Lin Han didn't expect that he could think of these inspirations when he came to the bookstore, and works written for children could indeed be put on the agenda.
