Chapter 157: New Books on the Shelves

Mong Kok, Hong Kong, Glory Bookstore. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As one of the largest bookstores in Hong Kong, Honor Bookstore has been in Hong Kong since the early 90s.

Because of the backing of a well-funded retail chain bookstore in Singapore, coupled with a good reputation and continuous work all year round, Honor Bookstore has grown rapidly in just eight years, and now, Honor Bookstore has a full ten stores in the most prosperous area in Hong Kong!

The ten chain bookstores cover an extremely large area and have abundant content resources, so they have been loved by many Hong Kong book lovers along the way over the years.

In the afternoon, after dealing with some things in the company, Cai Afen hurried here to conduct research.

As a small editor in charge of a Hong Kong cultural company, Cai Ah Fen is dutiful.

Because of the discovery of "Xun Qin" and the signing of the traditional copyright of the excellent novel "Xun Qin", Cai Afen was rewarded and spiritually praised by the company, and then was sought after by the company's colleagues.

Cai Afen also thinks so!

When their team returned from purchasing the copyright from the mainland, "Xun Qin Ji" quickly entered the preparation and printing stage as soon as possible.

The first 200,000 words of "Searching for Qin". It is divided into three volumes.

Because the whole company has a strong confidence in this novel, after careful discussion, the first printing of each volume of "Xun Qin Ji" was finalized at the number of 500,000 copies!

This first print run is already comparable to that of a first-line writer.

Although there are nearly 7 million people in Hong Kong, it is naturally still a little difficult to consume these 500,000 novels in a short period of time.

Therefore, in addition to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places are also one of the distribution places in the circle of Hong Kong cultural publishing companies.

As for the mainland......

Because of the provisions of the relevant language laws in the mainland, under normal circumstances, except for some archaeological books, the mainland prohibits the publication of traditional books.

Therefore, although the mainland market is unprecedentedly large, some traditional booksellers can only stare at it.

A week ago, the Hong Kong Culture Publishing Company had planned to start distributing goods in Hong Kong and overseas on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As the editor who personally signed this novel, Cai Afen is naturally extremely concerned about this matter.

Moreover, she did not have the idea of returning to the mainland for the holiday this year, so she took the initiative to ask Ying, stayed in the company during the Spring Festival, and took the initiative to investigate the sales market.

When I came to the Glory Bookstore, the first thing that caught Cai Afen's eye was a giant animation poster posted in a prominent position in the bookstore.

The poster depicts a decent space-time machine, in which sits a handsome young man holding a telephone and wearing ancient decorations.

Looks very attractive!

At the bottom of the poster, there are three large aqua blue characters - "Looking for Qin"!

As for the author's name of Qinglian Sword Immortal, it only occupies a small inconspicuous place.

In the bottom corner, there is a row of gilded characters, indicating the plot synopsis of the novel.

"Hong Kong G4 elite Xiang Shaolong travels through time and space and returns to China in the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago!"

The so-called G4 elite refers to the VIP Protection Unit of the Hong Kong Police Force.

The first requirement to become a G4 member is to have three years of police experience, and then after being vetted by the authorities and passing a variety of rigorous training for up to 10 weeks, you can be selected.

The daily life of the G4 elite is to protect the chief executive, visiting dignitaries, and some officials who have been rated as highly likely to be attacked.

In Hong Kong, the G4 elite is equivalent to the special forces in the mainland, and they are the elite figures in the army, who are very legendary and belong to the legendary mysterious soldier king.

Many Hong Kong teenagers are quite obsessed with G4 key members, fantasizing that they will fight ten at a time, and there are no longer a few people who have various flying skills.

Therefore, when book lovers see the poster of "Xun Qin" and see the term G4 elite, the probability of being attracted will greatly increase.

As early as two weeks ago, "The Legend of Qin" was widely promoted in major bookstores, and not only that, but on the title pages of other similar published novels, advertisements for "The Legend of Qin" also appeared.

Therefore, many readers in Hong Kong know that the novel "The Legend of Qin" will be sold on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

And because the Spring Festival is coming, in order to celebrate the festival and celebrate the new book on the shelves, "Xun Qin Ji" will also be sold for three days at 20% off!

"The Legend of Qin" is beautifully packaged, the content is extremely exciting, and the various costs have risen, so it is priced at 20 Hong Kong dollars.

This price is a bit more expensive than most novels.

Most of the other novels are around HK$15 to HK$18, and few exceed HK$19, but because it is a new book on the shelves, the price for the first three days is 20% off.

Therefore, the current price of "Xun Qin" is 16 Hong Kong dollars.

This price is still within the affordability of many book lovers.

Any more may not be able to afford it.

HK$4, you can buy a lot of things in most retail supermarkets in Hong Kong.

If you really like "Xun Qin" and are curious about this book, then it is the most affordable and best choice to get it before the end of the three-day 20% discount purchase time.

The same is true of overwhelming publicity, which is a very common marketing tactic.

Therefore, when Cai Afen walked into the bookstore, he saw that the bookshelves of the entire Glory Bookstore were full of teenagers reading books.

They were all holding a novel in their hands, most of which were pages of "Searching for Qin", and everyone was looking down at the contents seriously.

Several male and female salesmen next to them were also smiling dutifully, answering the buyer's questions.

"Are some of the protagonists in this novel G4 important?"

"Travel through time like Doraemon?"

"Who is the Qinglian Sword Immortal Department, and he has other works?"

"The beginning of this novel is very exciting, the protagonist Xiang Shaolong alone captures the terrorist who wants to ignite explosives...... But damn me, this is too abusive, what the hell is it to be broken up by your girlfriend? In order to save your girlfriend for this vulgar reason, you got on a time and space shuttle machine that doesn't even have three packs and a place of production?"

"Traveled to the Qin Dynasty! My God! The protagonist wants to take a three-day tour of the Qin Dynasty?"

"In order to return to modern times, Xiang Shaolong is really doing everything, haha, not bad, it's getting more and more interesting......"

Just when the readers were trying to read one by one, a slightly chubby boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, his eyes lit up, and he closed the first volume of "Xun Qin Ji" excitedly, and then saw the second and third volumes on the shelf, and asked the salesman next to him with a hesitant face: "Hey, can you rent a new book?"

"I'm sorry, pretty boy, the new book is less than a month, and it won't be rented, you know!"

The salesman shrugged his shoulders, seeing the embarrassment of the chubby boy, and looked helpless.

The chubby boy looked disappointed, he only had more than twenty yuan on him.

Buying one is enough, but three is too weak.

It would be nice if he could rent it, the price of renting a book is only 10% of the list price, and even if he pays a deposit, he will definitely finish reading these three books with the money in his hand.

Remembering that today is the Spring Festival, the chubby boy is in good spirits, and the elders want red envelopes, and it's good to have red envelopes!

Thinking of this, he quickly picked up the first volume of "Xun Qin Ji" and ran to the counter to check out.

Cai Afen stood in front of the counter with a smile on her face, watching the chubby young man check out, and asked the manager of the bookstore: "Boss, how is "Xun Qin" selling?" (To be continued.) )
