Chapter 1608: Broken Chapter Dog
“Da da da!”
While Old White was fascinated by the book, a customer walked into the bookstore. She was an exquisite woman dressed fashionably. , the sound of the black high heels under her feet hitting the ground is very pleasant.
But Old White didn't seem to hear him, still lowering his head and reading the Harry Potter on the counter.
The woman's name is Lisa. She is already a regular customer here. She is used to this situation. In addition to being wary of the surroundings when reading astringent love letters, this old guy will also be wary of his surroundings when reading other favorite books. , will be fascinated unconsciously.
Therefore, she didn't bother him, and twisted her waist to walk inside. Then she noticed the pile of Harry Potter in the most conspicuous position at first sight.
"Is this book already on sale?" Lisa, who had seen several soft advertisements about this book in the newspaper during this period, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Curiously, she stepped forward and picked up a copy. Look at the cover, then carefully open the book and read the contents.
Looking at it, Lisa stood at the door for a long time without moving. If she hadn't been flipping through the book from time to time, others would have thought it was a plastic model.
As time passed, other customers came to the store one after another. Like Lisa who was reading a book, they saw Harry Potter at first sight after entering.
Among these people, only a small number of people who are not interested in this kind of magical novel will choose to skip it. Most of the remaining people will step forward to pick up a book and take a look driven by curiosity.
Among those who choose to read Harry Potter, most of them think that the book is very good and will choose to buy a copy. The other small number think that it is just that, not worth buying and will put the book aside. Put it back again.
If you use data to show it, seven out of ten people will choose to take a look, and then almost four out of seven people will choose to buy it.
Although the situation here in Old White cannot be representative of other places, it almost reflects the strength of the Harry Potter book!
It can be said to be quite good.
Just like that, more than an hour passed quickly.
After paying the bill for a customer, Old White glanced at Lisa, who was standing in front of the bookshelf reading for a long time, and said half as a reminder and half as a joke: "Dear little Lisa, you are no longer the poor girl you were in your teens. , you are now an excellent lawyer, living in a mansion worth more than 100,000 yuan, and driving a Porsche worth more than 200,000 yuan. Why do you still come to me to see me for free? Book?”
“Huh?”
Lisa suddenly woke up and saw that an hour had passed. A blush instantly appeared on her face with delicate makeup. He quickly came to Old White with the book, handed him the book and a ten-dollar bill, and said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry. , Uncle White, this book is so fascinating that I didn’t notice the passage of time at all.”
“Haha, I understand very well, this Harry Potter is indeed a book that makes people want to read it. A good book that makes you forget about time." White quickly gave her the change and invited her enthusiastically: "I also like this book very much. I'll wait for you to read it when you go back. After you're done, you can come over to me and we'll meet up with some friends to discuss it."
"Okay, no problem." Lisa smiled and took the money and the book. She came out of the shop, got into a red Porsche sports car parked on the roadside, and sped towards her law firm amidst the deafening roar of the engine.
Old White looked enviously at the small sports car going away, then turned to greet other guests.
Busy and busy, the morning passed quickly.
After finishing a piece of Italian pie, Old White went to make another cup of coffee. Then he held the coffee cup in one hand and his buttocks in the other and returned to the counter to flip through the ledger and take a look at this Business conditions in the morning.
“Have you sold so many copies already?” He looked at the sales data above and was stunned, suddenly realizing that the Harry Potter book had been sold in just one morning. I bought more than twenty books!
This book is going to be a big hit!
Old White, who had been running a bookstore for many years, smelled something unusual. He immediately picked up the phone on the table and called a bookseller with whom he had a cooperative relationship, planning to take advantage of the book before it became popular. Stock up a little before you get up to avoid running out of stock later.
"Hello, I'm White, old man."
"Do you still have Harry Potter there?" "I want three...five hundred copies, leave me five hundred. This book, I’ll go right away.”
After confirming that the bookseller still had books, Old White immediately hung up the phone, stopped doing business, closed the door and drove away. Bookseller's Warehouse.
When he arrived at the place, he found that he was not the only smart person. There were actually four or five old guys who opened bookstores in the city who also came to add orders, and each one was more generous than the other. Some asked for eight hundred, and some asked for one. thousand.
Seeing this, Old White stepped forward to chat with those people. After learning that the sales of the Harry Potter book were very good in these people's stores, he became more confident.
However, he did not order any more. His bookstore was only that big and the number of customers every day was limited. Five hundred books were enough for him to sell for a while.
Immediately, Old White quickly loaded the books into the car, drove back to his bookstore, and continued to open business. When the bookstore closed in the evening, he took the scattered books of Harry that he had read all day Porter returns home.
The wife who was preparing dinner in the kitchen was surprised when her husband came back at this time. She said apologetically: "I'm sorry, dear, I didn't expect you to come back so early and have to wait for dinner." ”
"It's okay, I'm not very hungry yet. Let's read a book for a while. Remember to call me when dinner is ready." Old White smiled and stepped forward, hugged his wife, and kissed her cheek. Wiping her mouth vigorously with the back of her hand, she quickly returned to the bedroom, then fell down on the bed, leaning against the bedside and reading the Harry Potter book she had brought back.
After dinner, he went back to bed and continued reading obsessively.
"Fake! Damn it! It's not finished yet, it's a series of novels!"
Ten o'clock at night.
Old White suddenly got up from the bed and cursed, staring at the end of the book with gritted teeth.
This damn author actually brought the plot to an abrupt end at the climax!
"He must have done it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose!"
Old White scratched his heart and liver for a while, his expression was very painful.
At the same time.
Bought a copy of Harry Potter from Old White. Lisa closed the book she had just finished with a complex expression on her face.
Now there was good news and bad news before her.
The good news is that there is a follow-up to this wonderful novel, but the bad news is that we don’t know when the follow-up will be released.
“Why don’t you finish the novel before publishing it?”
Lisa stared at the author’s name on the cover with resentment.
heng·chu
"Chapter-breaking dog!"
The little rich woman swore angrily. She raised her hand to throw away the book in her hand, but couldn't bear to put it back. Then she looked at the author's name and admired sincerely: "This is a great writer!"
