I want to be a salty fish and go further and further in the entertainment industry

There are six volumes in total. It costs 39 to buy one volume individually. They are all in simple cover.

You can buy six copies in one volume directly. The simple cover version is 149 and the hardcover version is 199. This is the price Luo Jiuxing decided after considering it for a long time.

According to Luonan Yan, the profit from selling a copy of Luo Jiuxing is a few dollars. Although it is not particularly large, once the quantity increases, it is also a very considerable income.

After Luo Jiu left, the bookstore was still full of people.

It wasn't until nine o'clock, when the clerk started working, that Old Man Zhang came back to his senses from his busy schedule.

As someone who is almost 60 years old and has been running a bookstore for decades, I have experienced everything.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation of queuing up to buy books early in the morning.

I was very curious about what kind of book could attract so many people to buy it so early, so I walked towards the boxes I had just opened.

Seeing five large boxes full of books, there is now more than one box left.

Old man Zhang looked surprised. It was already very late when he received it last night, so he didn't open it to check.

You will see that in addition to the individual volumes in bulk, there are also volumes in two types of packaging.

After checking the contents, they are all the same.

Old man Zhang immediately understood that they were simple and hardcover.

The first thought is that the publisher has so much confidence in this book?

The hardcover version is out.

You must know that now that books have developed due to the Internet, physical books have been impacted and it is difficult to produce them.

At this time, they dare to directly publish a hardcover version, which shows that the publisher is very confident in the book and dares to print it and sell it directly for the first time.

But he was relieved when he thought that one-third of the book had been sold in just half an hour.

As for why I have such an idea, there is no other reason. The price of the hardcover version is much more expensive than the simplecover version.

If you print it and fail to sell it, you will suffer heavy losses.

The clerk was about to take the books and put them on the shelves. When he saw the boss standing in front of the box blankly, he coughed and said, "Boss, can you give in?"

Old man Zhang was in a good mood now, and he didn't take the clerk's words to heart at all.

Looking at the covers of the two books in his hands.

A long-haired boy who looked a bit like ancient times was standing sideways on the top of the mountain with a sword on his back, slightly lowering his head and looking down.

At the bottom of the cover, there are five big characters written in flying phoenixes, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Just by looking at the title, Old Man Zhang thought it was a martial arts novel. The whole book, whether in hardcover or paperback, has a very aesthetic feel.

Old man Zhang, who never reads novels, was aroused by this moment.

Thinking that this book had made him so much money in the morning, he put the paperback version back into the box without hesitation and returned to the counter with a hardcover version in his arms.

After sitting down, I couldn't wait to start watching.

The clerk felt a little strange when he saw the boss smiling, thinking that something good had happened to him.

But when he started arranging the books, he saw the name of the book and was delighted. He took a hardcover edition directly to the boss to pay for it.

After paying the money and putting away the entire volume of books, I was satisfied and started working.

If it weren't for working hours, there would be so many customers that he would want to open it and read it.

The time slowly came to 09:30.

At this time, all physical copies of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" have been sold out.

No matter whether it is in bulk or in a volume, there is nothing left.

A teenage boy ran into the bookstore excitedly. After searching around but couldn't find it, he couldn't help but ask the clerk next to him.

"Where is the physical book of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" placed?"

After hearing this, the clerk immediately understood why he had been wandering around the bookstore but not reading, so he smiled and replied: "Sorry, I have already bought it."

"Can you please come over earlier tomorrow?"

After hearing this, the young man looked disappointed and was about to walk out in tears.

Seeing his expression, the clerk thought that the boss had just taken away a volume, so he stopped the young man and took him to the counter.

The boss was concentrating on reading the novel and didn't notice the two people next to him looking at him.

"Boss, do you want this volume in your hand? This customer came to buy books and has already bought all the books except the one you have."

Old man Zhang slowly raised his head when he heard the sound.

Unexpectedly, he, an almost 60-year-old man, would be fascinated by a novel.

He knew about martial arts books, but this was the first time he had seen this style of fairy tales. The settings such as flying with a sword in the book still had a huge impact on him.

Originally, Old Man Zhang thought that this book was so popular that it would make him a lot of money, so he planned to support one volume, but he never thought that such a thing would happen again.

The young man was a little anxious when he saw his boss didn't speak for a long time, and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Boss, if you sell the book in your hand, I can give you ten yuan more."

"I opened this volume. If you want it, just pay it according to the price. There is no need to pay more." Old man Zhang smiled and looked at the young man who looked nervous and expectant.

"If you want, it doesn't matter if you take it apart." The young man couldn't wait to speak.

"Okay, this volume is a hardcover edition, and the price is 50 yuan more than the paperback edition, which is 190 nine yuan."

Before the boss finished speaking, the young man had already taken out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay, as if he was afraid that the boss would regret it.

Upon seeing this, Old Man Zhang directly handed the book in his hand to the young man along with the other remaining packages.

After the young man took it, he ran away, leaving Old Man Zhang stunned.

Old man Zhang also thought about the clerk who had just bought a volume, and asked: "A Ming, lend me what you bought!"

"The book you just bought will be sold to you at the cost price, and the extra money you paid will be refunded to you now."

The clerk A Ming wanted to buy it back for his collection. After hearing the first half of the sentence, he was about to refuse, but Old Man Zhang's next words made him stuck in his throat.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally agreed. After all, even if he kept it, he would still take it apart and look at it.

When the clerk handed the book to Old Man Zhang, he hurriedly opened it and was a little surprised to see the name on the book when he opened it!

"A Ming, come and see, your volume actually has a name!"

The clerk A Ming was just about to return to his post and continue working, but after hearing what Old Man Zhang said, he turned around and snatched the book from Old Man Zhang's hand.

When I saw the beautiful signature on it, I immediately jumped up and down with joy.

Generally speaking, books sold directly in bookstores are basically not signed. Even if they are signed, they usually hold signings. This can not only increase the reputation of the book, but also increase the sales volume.

Unexpectedly, the author did not follow the routine. He was very curious whether the author signed all the books or only part of them.

So he quickly placed the books on the counter, including several other books, all placed neatly.

I took out my phone and took a photo.

Old man Zhang was speechless when he saw his expression. He thought it was just a name.

Seeing new customers, Mr. Zhang reminded the clerk who was still taking photos.

A Ming reluctantly stopped and went to receive him with satisfaction.

PS: The missing chapter has been made up. Thank you for your support. I will update the two chapters for tomorrow in the early morning. It may be a bit late. You can go to bed early and watch tomorrow!
