As one of the largest book retailers in Hong Kong, Glory Bookstore has developed since the early 90s and has 10 stores in the most prosperous area in Hong Kong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the era when Internet reading has not yet fully exploded, the popularity of physical bookstores is obvious to all, and sales and rental can be said to be in full bloom, which can be called the last prosperous era of the book era.

However, as a first-tier bookstore and a leader in Hong Kong's bookstore industry, Glory Bookstore has always set a strict rule since its opening, that is, any new book released less than a month ago will not be rented.

Therefore, the new books on the shelves of Honor Bookstore can maintain a relatively good sales record in the first month, which is very beneficial to the impact of the butterfly sales list.

And "Looking for Qin", an eye-popping work, has obviously received enough attention from before it was put on the shelves.

Not only were the TV and radio campaigns very fast, but the title pages of some of the most popular books of the moment were also filled with various introductory advertisements about "The Legend of Qin".

Therefore, when "Xun Qin" was released on the shelves on the first day, its sales rose in a straight line.

In the three days before the third day of the Lunar New Year, the sales volume of "Xun Qin Ji" was generally popular, which was not much different from the sales volume of popular new books by well-known writers under normal circumstances.

But after the first three days, the passenger flow picked up, and people began to go to work and school one after another, and the sales volume of "Xun Qin Ji" was refreshed almost every day.

As of the 15th day of the first lunar month, the sales volume of "Xun Qin Ji" at Glory Bookstore in Mong Kok District has broken the single-day sales record of all authors' new books in the month of release, reaching 2,141 copies.

In one day, the series of books in the "Xun Qin Ji" series alone can sell more than 2,000 copies, a record that has shocked all the staff of the Glory Bookstore.

You must know that this number can only be reached unless it is purchased collectively by schools, governments and other groups, and it is still humanities books such as textbooks and materials.

Under normal circumstances, it is very rare for a single work in a bookstore to sell thousands of copies a day.

And such an example does not necessarily occur once a year.

If it appears, it's either hype or hype!

In short, without the power of capital to operate, it is basically impossible for a bookstore to sell more than 2,000 copies of the same work.

Although the number 2141 is distributed in the first, second, and third volumes of "Xun Qin Ji", it can be regarded as the same whole.

In fact, the serialized books of many works are also counted in this way.

But even so, it is rare for a god-level work to sell thousands of copies in a day.

However, "Xun Qin Ji" appeared, and it doubled to more than 2,100 copies.

If it is an exaggeration, a bookstore can sell 2,000 copies in a day, then in a month, it can sell 60,000 copies.

How many bookstores are there in Hong Kong?

Numerous!

Glory Bookstore alone has 10 branches all over Hong Kong!

If every bookstore was so popular, wouldn't it sell 600,000 copies a month?

Although this data is somewhat general, exaggerated and untrue, it can also be seen how popular "Xun Qin" is.

This is the case of the Hong Kong Culture Publishing House deliberately controlling the supply of goods, which is a kind of hunger marketing.

However, the first printing of 500,000 copies does seem to be a bit stretched now, not to mention that these 500,000 copies are distributed throughout Asia, including but not limited to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and other places.

In short, the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" exceeded everyone's imagination, the publishing house did not expect it, and the bookstore seller did not expect it, therefore, under various conditions and the promotion and negotiation of all parties, the seven-day and seven-day signing meeting on Qinglian Sword Immortal was officially signed and established.

The first stop is the Mong Kok branch of Hong Kong Glory Bookstore.

Early in the morning, Li Qing came to the Glory Bookstore with Cai Afen and others.

Obviously, it was still cold weather, but when he arrived at the door of Glory Bookstore, Li Qing only felt a heat wave coming.

As far as the eye could see, there were four or five hundred people lining up in front of the bookstore, like a huge and winding dragon.

In the crowd, almost everyone has one or even several copies of "Xun Qin".

They were talking or reading books, waiting excitedly in front of the Glory Bookstore.

The lowest of their ages was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the highest was forty years old.

This means that the readers of "Xun Qin" are too old to read a very wide range of books.

The Mong Kok branch of Glory Bookstore is quite large, it looks like a shopping mall, with two floors.

It covers an area of about 800 square meters and is surrounded by tempered glass, which allows people to clearly see the neatly arranged books and the clean and warm reading environment in the bookstore.

On the beams between the floors, a huge banner with white characters on a red background was posted, which read, "Solemnly welcome Qinglian Jianxian, the author of "Xun Qin Ji", to hold a signing event at Glory Bookstore.

On the left and right sides in front of the bookstore, there are many propaganda and introduction words of the book "Xun Qin Ji".

Among them, there are also many animated versions of Xiang Shaolong, Zhao Pan, Wu Tingfang and other novel characters provided by the publishing house.

Because of the telephone communication in advance, as soon as Li Qing, Cai Afen and others appeared at the bookstore site, they were surrounded by the bookstore staff and carried out all-round strict protection.

When all the book lovers saw this, it immediately caused a commotion.

However, most of them had never seen what the Qinglian Sword Immortal looked like.

Therefore, when fans saw Cai Afen and others, although they scratched their ears and cheeks in their hearts, they were really embarrassed to come forward to ask, and besides, they were still in line, and no one was willing to give up their position to others.

Therefore, in full view of everyone, Li Qing and the others entered the bookstore unharmed.

The store manager is an authentic Hong Kong native, wears glasses, and although he wears a crimson down jacket, he wears a blue tie, which looks very cultured.

However, Mandarin is really awkward, but fortunately, Li Qing is well-informed and can barely understand it.

After Cai Afen introduced Li Qing's identity on behalf of the Hong Kong Culture Publishing House, Li Qing shrugged his shoulders habitually in the face of the surprise of the store manager and the surrounding staff.

"Zhang Ailing once said that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and now that I have met Qinglian Sword Immortal, I know that this is true, it is really a hero and a young man!"

After the store manager was amazed, he stopped talking nonsense, looked at his watch, and said straightforwardly: "Sir, it's already a quarter past nine, look, is it going to start signing now?"

People's eyes looked at Li Qing in unison.

Facing the store manager's words, Li Qing replied with a smile: "Fix what I want." (To be continued.) )
