"Boss, there are not enough books... there are not enough books."
In the evening, Tang Weiguo, the owner of Fenglin Bookstore, was checking accounts in his office when the clerk hurried over.
Tang Weiguo glanced at Xiao Zhang and said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you just now? I've already contacted someone to deliver the book."
Xiao Zhang waved his hand quickly: "Boss, it's not "Old Book", it's "Border Town"."
"border town?"
"Well, there's also "Alive"."
Tang Weiguo frowned. It was understandable that "Alive" was out of stock. After all, the book had been selling well in the past two years, and it was normal for it to suddenly explode.
But "Border Town" has been around for a long time, and its sales have been relatively stable, with basically just a few copies every day.
Xiao Zhang explained: "Because these two books are written in "Old Book"."
"Is it?"
There is an "Old Book" on Tang Weiguo's desk, but he is too busy today, so he has no time to read it.
At this moment, he picked up the "Old Book" and opened it to read. Then he suddenly realized that this was not just about writing these two books, but directly using the book titles as chapter names.
Tang Weiguo didn't have much ink, so he directly started calling people to send a batch of the ten books mentioned in "Old Books".
After making the call, Tang Weiguo patted his head and blamed him for being careless. If he had read "Old Books" before, there would be no need to be in such a hurry now.
…
Most bookstores are late-minded, but Little Bear Bookstore, which cooperates with Deep Space Company, is well prepared.
As early as August 3rd, Deep Space Company made a list of ten books for Little Bear Bookstore, asking the bookstore to prepare some supplies.
The person in charge of Little Bear Bookstore didn’t understand what was going on, but since it was Deep Space Company’s suggestion, they were naturally willing to accept it.
Besides, for a bookstore as big as theirs, it’s normal to stock up on some books. If they can’t sell them for a while, it won’t cause any pressure.
Early in the morning on August 9th, Yu Dong arrived at Little Bear Bookstore.
Originally, the autograph session wouldn't start until nine o'clock, but when Dudong saw the long queue outside, he suggested starting it earlier.
Of course the bookstore was very willing and immediately opened the gates to let readers in. The book signing started at eight o'clock.
After Yu Dong sat down, he started working hard, trying to sign as many copies as possible.
Cole, the newly appointed store manager of Little Bear Bookstore, looked at YU who was signing autographs for readers with a smile and felt very comfortable.
According to previous experiences, their bookstore should be able to sell tens of thousands of books today, completing half a month's performance.
But what Cole never expected was that he was still too conservative.
This time the "Old Book" is on sale, the situation is completely different from the previous ones.
An hour after the book signing started, a man suddenly came to the store, claiming to be a representative of Warner Bros., and he paid directly to order 500 books.
As soon as Warner left, representatives from Universal came and initially said they would order 500 copies. When they heard that Warner had also ordered 500 copies, they added their bets on the spot and ordered 600 copies.
DreamWorks, Lucasfilm, George Schumacher, Matthew McConaughey, Motorola...
Some companies and some individuals ordered at least 50 copies, and the most, Motorola, directly ordered 2,000 copies.
As the morning passed, Cole counted and found that these individuals and companies combined had ordered nearly 30,000 books, and this was not over yet. Judging from the situation, there should be more books in the afternoon.
Of course Yu Dong also knew about such a big movement.
He was quite surprised. He didn't know why these people suddenly came together to help him "brush data". Later, when he took the time to ask Jimmy, he found out that it was Motorola who took the lead.
Since the cooperation with "Second World", the cooperation between Motorola and Deep Space has been very close. Basically, Motorola will invest more or less in any movie that Deep Space participates in.
For example, in the movie "Phone Booth", Motorola is the largest advertiser.
The reason why Motorola has such close cooperation with Deep Space is entirely because of the models Yu Dong designed for them during the filming of "The Second World".
At first, Motorola just wanted to have a better advertising effect, but in the past few years, mobile phone updates have been iterative. They found that the things designed by Yu Dong's team were a very good route, and almost every model was made according to that set of designs.
The mobile phones that come out sell very well.
This design is not just as simple as the appearance of the model, but also has specific operation methods. Up to now, Motorola's R&D department is still studying the several sets of operation modes designed by Yu Dong in "Second World".
In other words, Motorola is currently following the route planned by Yu Dong.
Under such circumstances, they will of course try their best to establish a good relationship with the Deep Space Company.
This time when "Old Book" was released, Motorola saw that Deep Space Company was promoting it with unprecedented intensity, and knew that Deep Space was going to do something big, so they cooperated very well and told people everywhere that they would go and support it on the day of the book signing.
This was first heard by Warner and Universal. Of course, these two companies were not to be outdone and responded positively.
The story spread more and more, and later actors like Matthew McConaughey came to join in the fun.
The number of people who came in the afternoon did not decrease, Nintendo and Sony also came to join in the fun, and one family ordered a thousand "used books".
For them, a thousand books cost little money, but they can sell them to Yu Dong and the Deep Space Company to gain face.
If a few thousand dollars can gain Yu Dong's favor, the deal must be a good deal.
Seeing the increasing number of orders, Cole was very busy, contacting booksellers to request books, and at the same time busy looking for people to deliver these books to them.
Tens of thousands of books is not a small amount. Put these books together, they can fill a small room.
Until mid-8:30 in the evening, Yu Dong ended the day's autograph signing, and Cole was still busy settling the order.
He roughly calculated that today, their Little Bear Bookstore sold 200,000 books, of which "used books" accounted for the majority, already exceeding 100,000.
The remaining more than 90,000 books are basically contributed by Yu Dong's other novels and novels mentioned in "Old Books" such as "Alive", "Border Town", and "Letter from a Strange Woman".
A book sold 100,000 copies in one day in a bookstore. This was the first time that Cole had seen it in all his years of working in a bookstore.
Of these 100,000 books, more than 10,000 were signed and sold by Yu Dong himself, more than 70,000 of the more than 90,000 books were "brushed", and more than 10,000 were purchased by book friends.
We bought it ourselves.
Chapter completed!
