Chapter 256 "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" physical book

After all the work was done, Luo Jiuxing did not rush home, but walked towards his elder sister's office.

Seeing Luo Jiuxing walking into the office, Luo Nanyan checked the time and found that it was only after three o'clock. He was a little surprised and said: "Okay! A thousand copies were signed so quickly."

Luo Jiuxing waved his hand and said modestly: "It was only because of the help of the staff that it was completed so quickly. If I were the only one, I don't know how long it would take."

"Sister, has the price of the physical book been decided?"

"The price has been decided by the company."

Luo Nanyan explained to Luo Jiuxing while busy with the work at hand.

"You should have seen "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" when you signed it. Each story is a book. The entire first volume is composed of four stories and four books.

The company considers that some readers may only want to buy a certain story alone, so it specially prints some single copies.

The price of a single paperback version is 36 yuan, and the price of a whole volume is 98 yuan.

The company's hardcover version does not print single copies, and the price of the entire volume is 148 yuan. "

Luo Jiuxing nodded after listening. The price of the book was very reasonable. The price was not expensive. It could only be said to be a normal market price.

"Sister, then I will promote it as you said, and remember not to change the price!"

Luo Nanyan turned his head and rolled his eyes at Luo Jiuxing, "How can the price set by the company be changed easily? Don't worry."

"When posting on Weibo to promote, you must double check, otherwise you will not be able to explain to your fans if you make a mistake." Luo Jiuxing said with a silly smile.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go home first and don't disturb my work here."

Seeing his elder sister's disgusted look, Luo Jiuxing didn't take it seriously at all, laughed and left directly.

When Luo Jiuxing drove home, he saw Xiao Nanyi who had returned home from school as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing Xiao Nanyi's aggrieved expression, Luo Jiuxing asked curiously: "What's wrong with Xiao Nanyi? Who bullied you?"

"No, no, brother, are you busy with anything now?" Xiao Nanyi looked at Luo Jiuxing expectantly.

"Brother has nothing to do now."

"What, Xiao Nanyi, is there anything you need your brother's help with?"

Hearing that nothing happened to Luo Jiuxing, Xiao Nanyi jumped up and down happily and pulled Luo Jiuxing to the living room.

Xiao Nanyi pointed to the things on the ground and complained aggrievedly: "The teacher copied the homework for us and we have to take it back to the teacher for inspection tomorrow."

Luo Jiuxing looked at the pile of things on the ground and was slightly stunned.

Hey guys, do you still have handwork when you go to kindergarten?

Luo Jiuxing didn't think much, rubbed Xiao Nanyi's head, and comforted: "Brother, can you help Xiao Nanyi do it together?"

Xiao Nanyi nodded happily and said sweetly: "Brother is so kind."

Luo Jiuxing had no resistance to Xiao Nanyi's praise, and was soon completely smitten.

The original arrangement of posting on Weibo to promote things when he got home was also forgotten by Luo Jiuxing.

It wasn't until after dinner in the evening that Luo Jiuxing thought that the promotion on Weibo hadn't been posted yet.

After logging into the Weibo account of 'Tianxing Jiuge', Luo Jiuxing glanced at the dense private messages and stopped reading when he saw that most of them were messages from fans urging them to update.

Tianxing Jiuge v: "The physical book of the first volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will be released in three days!

Three days later, the physical book of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" was online and sold in physical bookstores across the country. This time, a paperback version and a hardcover version were released.

The price of a single copy of the paperback edition is 36 yuan, the price of a full volume of four is 98 yuan, and the price of a full volume of the hardcover edition is 148 yuan.

Friends who like physical books can purchase them directly in three days..."

Not long after this blog post was posted, many book fans flocked to the Weibo account of '天行九歌'.

Because it was after eight o'clock in the evening and everyone had not gone to bed yet, the number of people this time was much larger than usual.

All of a sudden, the comment area became lively.

"Damn it, the dog author has come to life, everyone, come and watch!"

"Normally I don't see the dog author coming out to interact with everyone. I can only see it every time during promotions. Woohoo~ So pitiful!"

"Hey, I originally thought that the author would wait until "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is finished before publishing a physical book, but I didn't expect to publish a volume first. It's pretty good!"

"Ahhhhh, I'm a little confused whether I should buy the paperback version or the hardcover version. Can you guys give me some advice?"

"Brothers upstairs, there seems to be nothing to worry about. If you have the financial resources, of course you will give priority to buying the hardcover version. If you don't have the financial resources, just buy the paperback version."

"I have bought a physical book of "Sword of Immortality" by the dog author before. The hardcover version is much better than others. Anyway, I also plan to buy the hardcover version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" for collection."

"Hmph, when I saw the update on Weibo, I thought it was a dog author who wanted to give everyone a blast. I didn't expect it was to promote the physical book. What should I do if I don't want to buy it?"

"Hahaha, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it!"

"As expected of you, you disappeared for so long, and then you came back to promote the physical book."

......

At the beginning of the comment, Luo Jiuxing was still smiling.

Although book fans scold him, there is no author who has not been scolded by readers. Luo Jiuxing has long been immune to this.

However, when Luo Jiuxing saw the next comment, the smile on his face froze instantly.

"I would like to ask when the dog author will hold a book signing."

"I also want to know. Other authors release physical books and immediately hold book signings. But the dog author has already published his second book and there is no news at all."

"I have no objection to promoting the physical book. I just want to hold a book signing event sometime so that I can see the true face of the dog author!"

"Hahahaha, how dare a dog author to show up? Haven't you seen that many people have sent their souvenirs to the company?"

"Anyway, I don't care. If the author doesn't do book signings, then I won't buy the physical book, hehe!"

"What you said above makes sense. Let's boycott dog authors together. If we don't hold a book signing, no one will buy."

“We’re going to have a book signing, but if it doesn’t happen, don’t buy it!”

“We’re going to have a book signing, but if it doesn’t happen, don’t buy it!”

“We’re going to have a book signing, but if we don’t have one, don’t buy it! +.”

......

Seeing this neat comment, the corners of Luo Jiuxing's mouth twitched subconsciously.

The autograph session that everyone is looking forward to is just to see what Luo Jiuxing looks like.

He managed to hide his identity, how could he expose himself just for a book signing.

Luo Jiuxing is not worried at all about fans not buying physical books. Even though many fans are now calling for a boycott of his physical books, they will probably grab them faster than anyone else.

Don’t you want a signed book?

He happens to be prepared, but whether he can get it depends on everyone's luck.

Luo Jiuxing had a bit of bad taste, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his phone was beating rapidly on his phone.

A blog post was published quickly. After checking that there was no problem, Luo Jiuxing sent it directly.

Tianxing Jiuge v: "Hello everyone! I forgot to tell you that I have another good news to tell you. One thousand of the books to be released in three days will have my signature. Don't miss it!"

As soon as the news was sent out, fans who were originally on Luo Jiuxing's Weibo immediately ran to the blog post and started commenting.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the dog author is always here!"

"Who are you looking down on? Only a thousand signed books are enough?"

"That's right, I guess the dog author saw that everyone was boycotting his physical book, so he managed to produce a thousand autographed books."

"Don't be fooled by this little profit. As long as dog authors don't hold book signings, then we will continue to boycott."

"That's right, we must unite this time. I don't believe we can't beat the dog author! Quack, quack, quack!"

"Hey! I won't buy it. I'll make the author so angry!"

"I have a better way. Everyone can actually buy it. But if you receive an unsigned book, just return it directly. This will make the author even more angry, hahaha."

"The idea upstairs is very good, I support it with both hands!"

"Yes, yes, I will do the same when the time comes."

"Damn it, you guys are too cruel, but I like it, quack quack quack!"

......

Luo Jiuxing probably didn't expect that many book fans would plot on his Weibo how to harm him.

Fortunately, I closed Weibo immediately after I posted it, otherwise I would probably be so angry that I would vomit blood.

Three days later, early morning.

It was not yet nine o'clock, and the bookstore owner, Old Man Zhang, who had not been seen for a long time, came to the bookstore on a small electric donkey early in the morning.

At this time, there was already a queue at the door, probably dozens of people.

More people joined in one after another.

Old man Zhang was already a little surprised by this scene.

Originally, in the digital age, the two industries of physical books and records should have declined.

Who knows, the business in his store has improved a lot this year, and even the record business he sells part-time in the store has also improved a lot.

In the past, most of the customers who came to the store to buy things were buying tutorial books.

As a result, now, customers can be seen buying physical books of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "First Meeting", "Years" and other physical albums every day in the store.

Especially in the first two months, there was an endless stream of people buying physical records, which really made him happy for a long time.

No, yesterday the store purchased a new physical book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". When he heard that it was written by the same author as "Sword of Immortality", Old Man Zhang knew that there must be a lot of people there today.

So he came to open the door half an hour early.

There were many familiar faces among the people in the queue. As soon as Old Man Zhang parked the eDonkey, someone immediately shouted.

"That's right. Old Man Zhang also knew that he would open the store half an hour early today."

"Hahaha, I guess you have experience!"

"Hurry up and open the door when you come. After buying the books, I can rush to work!"

"Me too, I just finished buying books and went to work. Old man Zhang, please open the door quickly."

Old man Zhang laughed heartily, knowing why these people came to line up so early.

Suddenly a voice came from the side, "Old man Zhang, the supply of goods is not sufficient this time, don't let me make another trip in vain."

The old man turned around and followed the voice, and found that it was a young man about twenty years old. He replied with a smile: "That's what I said, how could I make the same mistake twice."

"Don't worry, everyone, you can buy as much as you want. Even if you have twice as many people, you won't be able to buy them all."

When the crowd in line heard what Old Man Zhang said, they burst into laughter, and the anxiety of waiting disappeared a lot.

"Please wait a few more minutes. The book arrived a little late yesterday. I need to take it out from the warehouse first."

After saying this, Old Man Zhang and the clerk walked in from the half-open store.

After hearing this, everyone expressed understanding and no one rushed into the store directly.

After entering the store, the clerk went to turn on the lights, and Old Man Zhang walked into the warehouse first.

After finding the books delivered last night, Old Man Zhang opened all the boxes.

Picking up a hardcover book, Old Man Zhang felt a little heavy for a moment.

Taking a look at the book cover, Old Man Zhang was a little surprised. This book was so exquisite, it felt like a work of art.

Old man Zhang was just about to call the clerk to come in and help, but before he could say anything, the clerk had already walked into the warehouse.

Seeing the book in the boss's hand, the clerk immediately walked over, took the book from the boss's hand, and then said with a smile: "Boss, I want a copy of this hardcover book. I will give you the money after I finish my work." .”

In fact, the clerk is a fan of Luo Jiuxing's books. He also bought the physical book of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" sold in the store last time, but the one he bought was still signed.

Later, someone on the Internet offered a very high price but he didn't sell it, which shows that he really likes the books written by Luo Jiuxing.

Seeing the book in his hand being taken away by the clerk, Old Man Zhang also smiled and said angrily: "Hurry up and work hard. I'll give you the purchase price for the book later."

"Okay, boss!" the clerk thanked him cheerfully.

"In the hardcover department, you are responsible for moving. Move 150 volumes out first and put them in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelf." Old Man Zhang explained.

The clerk nodded and started working.

Old man Zhang himself moved the paperback edition, and he also moved 150 volumes.

This time, Old Man Zhang spent a lot of money to purchase 300 copies of both the paperback and hardcover editions. He was worried that there would not be enough to sell in the end and he would have to wait for a long time.

The two of them were busy very quickly, and in five minutes all three hundred books had been moved out.

Because there is not much space on the bookshelf, books that cannot be placed are placed next to them so that they can be replenished at any time.

Old Man Zhang thought for a moment, took out a "hardcover edition" and took it back to the checkout counter, and then opened it directly.

——I bought a copy myself first, as did the physical book "Legend of Sword and Fairy" before, although it was also forcibly bought by someone in the end.

After opening it, he saw four books neatly arranged in the book. Old man Zhang was surprised and picked up one and started reading.

The clerk is responsible for opening all the half-open doors.

With a "hoo!", a large group of people poured into the store when the door opened.

Old man Zhang, who was reading a book, was also shocked.

What the hell? Weren't there just a few dozen people? , why are there so many people all of a sudden? There must be at least over a hundred people!

Old man Zhang held his forehead and sighed.

However, everyone came in and paid no attention to Old Man Zhang's reaction. The regular customers were already heading in a familiar direction to get their books.

The new customer asked the clerk: "Hello, where is the physical book of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

The clerk pointed to the bookshelf at the front and introduced: "The hardcover department is on the right hand side, and the paperback version is on the left hand side."
