In the early morning, in Shangjing City, a bookstore occupies a rather large area.

Zhang Weijian parked the eDonkey in front of the store, took out the key to unlock it, and opened the shutter door together with a clerk who had just arrived.

Zhang Weijian has just turned [-] this year, with flowing long hair, black-rimmed glasses and a big beard, full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

Others also call him Zhang Huzi, and he is the owner of this private bookstore.

After opening the door, there was nothing to clean up the books in the store. Zhang Huzi walked to the side of the store, an area full of various physical records.

The bookstore also functions as an audio-visual store, selling all kinds of physical records.

In fact, this bookstore was originally a pure audio-visual store, specializing in selling all kinds of records, and it was later changed into a bookstore.

However, with the advent of the Internet age, the physical record industry has declined further and further. Compared with its peak more than ten years ago, sales have fallen off a cliff.

You can listen to the latest music at your fingertips online, and you only need to buy a digital album that is cheaper and does not take up space. The market for expensive physical records has been shrinking again and again.

Zhang Huzi still remembers that 15 years ago, there were more than 3000 large and small audiovisual stores in Shanghai, but now, only 20 are still open.

No one bought it!

Zhang Huzi himself is a senior music lover, and the store is his own, so he can keep it without rent.

Even so, he had to turn most of the area into a bookstore, selling books and teaching materials. The audio-visual store is a small area, and he doesn't expect to make money, it's just to keep his feelings.

Slightly withdrawing the divergent thoughts, Long Beard remembered that a batch of new records had been delivered last night before get off work, and they were going to be put on the shelves this morning.

From time to time, there will be new products arriving in the store, but most of them are mediocre, and the sales volume is not as good as the classic records of more than ten years ago.

Zhang Huzi was also a little curious as to which top-notch singer released a physical record.

After unpacking the tight packaging, there are neat records inside.

Zhang Huzi picked up one, and the moment he got started, he could feel it from the texture. This record is definitely a well-made one.

However, Zhang Huzi is even more pessimistic - the more sophisticated the production, the more he will lose.

""One Leaf Knows Autumn"?"

Zhang Huzi read out the title of the album curiously, looked at the playlist at the back, and immediately understood.

Ye Zhiqiu, the recent hot singer, of course he knows, the song "Ordinary Road" has always been in his favorite playlist.

Zhang Huzi thought for a while and took out one.

Zhang Huzi laughed at himself, and spent 180 yuan before opening the door.

His shop bought 100 copies of the album "One Leaf Knowing Autumn", and Zhang Huzi took out five copies and placed them in the most conspicuous position in the entrance area of ​​the audio-visual store, and put the others in the warehouse first.

There is also a roll-up promotional display rack that was sent along, the content is the enlarged version of the album cover of "One Leaf Knows Autumn", which is also opened and put aside.

In the past, a record was placed in a better position, but it was charged.But now not many people care about this.

According to Zhang Huzi's estimate, it would be good if the 100 in the store can be digested.

After finishing these things, Zhang Huzi Shi Shiran returned to the front desk of the bookstore area, carefully unpacked the record in his hand, and put the CD into the player.

The melodious singing of "Ordinary Road" sounded...

Zhang Huzi nodded in satisfaction. The sound quality of the lossless version is just different. The 180 yuan is worth it.

......

At 9:50 in the morning, outside a university campus, four girls hurried to the bus.

"Quick, quick." Cai Cai got into the car first, urging his three roommates.

The sporty girl stepped forward vigorously, followed by the other two.

There were no seats in the car. Fortunately, the bookstore to go to was not far away, and the four of them held the armrests and discussed in low voices.

"So tired! Cai Cai, I didn't see you running so fast in the school physical test."

"Why are you in such a hurry, is it different to go shopping in the afternoon?"

Cai Cai chuckled, and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's different."

"Ye Zhiqiu invited us to watch the concert live at the time. Of course we must support the record when it comes out, so we should return the tickets at that time."

At this time, Cai Cai, Ye Zhiqiu's loyal fan leader, and her three roommates are about to set off to buy physical records.

Several people had already checked in advance, and there were not many outlets available. Fortunately, a bookstore not far from the school was one of them.

After three stops, several people got off the bus and quickly found the target store.

"There! Bustling Bookstore, there is also a small audio-visual store on the Internet, and it's the same owner."

Several people hurried to the bookstore, and when they opened the door, they were startled by the scene inside.

There is a long queue of more than [-] people at the front desk of the bookstore, which really echoes the storefront.

Could it be that there is a new tutorial book in elementary school?

But most of the people in the queue are young people who are not much older than themselves, and it doesn't look like it.

Cai Cai was curious, and subconsciously glanced at the hands of the people in line, her eyes froze.

All these people held the same square box in their hands, and the pictures on it were very familiar to them.

These people are all the same as me, who came to buy the hardcover physical record of "One Leaf Knows Autumn"!

Cai Cai reacted suddenly, and the other three roommates obviously noticed it too. They looked at each other and hurried to the video store not far away.

As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed Cai Cai saw the promotional display of "One Leaf Knows Autumn" and a lonely record beside it.

It seemed that someone beside him was also targeting it. Cai Cai's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

"..." The young man who didn't grab it was speechless and didn't care, and shouted at the boss at the front desk.

"Zhang Huzi, "One Leaf Knows Autumn" is gone, it's back in stock!"

The young man is a music lover and occasionally comes here to buy physical records. He knows Zhang Huzi.

On the other side, Zhang Huzi, who was very busy at the front desk, roared.

"No more! That's the last one!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the young man was dumbfounded, and Cai Cai was also taken aback, and quickly embraced the record in his hand like a treasure.

The few people who came in one after another heard this sentence and shouted away.

"Isn't it? It's gone so soon?"

"I ran out between work, it was a waste of time!"

"Zhang Huzi, buy more goods!"

"What the hell, are physical records so popular now?"

"When will it be replenished?"

The customers in the store were noisy, and Zhang Huzi was in a trance for a while, thinking that he had returned to the scene in the store more than ten years ago.

Zhang Huzi said helplessly: "Everyone, don't worry, we will contact you today for replenishment."

"You can pay attention to the official account of the bookstore. When the stock arrives, a notification will be sent on it. Everyone will come to buy it when the time comes."

Only then did the crowd of customers stop, and they scanned the QR code unwillingly before leaving the store.

"Don't be lazy Zhang Huzi, hurry up and buy!"
