Just when Old White was fascinated by the book, a customer walked into the bookstore. She was a fashionable and exquisite woman. The sound of her black high-heeled shoes hitting the ground was very pleasant.
But Old White didn't seem to hear him, and he still lowered his head and read the Harry Potter on the counter.
The woman's name is Lisa, and she is already a regular customer here. She is not surprised by this situation. In addition to being wary of the surroundings when reading love letters, this old guy will also become fascinated unconsciously when reading other favorite books.
.
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 newspapers during this period, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Curiously, she stepped forward and picked up a book. She first looked at the cover, and then
Open the book carefully and read the contents.
At this glance, 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 pick up a book and take a look driven by curiosity.
Among the people 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 can almost reflect the strength of the Harry Potter book!
It can be said to be quite good.
In this way, 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 teenage years.
, 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 read free books? "
"Um?"
Lisa suddenly woke up and looked at the time and realized that an hour had passed. A blush instantly appeared on her face with exquisite makeup. She quickly came to Old White with the book and handed the book and a ten-dollar bill.
She gave it to him and said with an apologetic look: "Sorry, Uncle White, this book was so fascinating that I didn't notice the passage of time at all."
"Haha, I understand very well. This Harry Potter is indeed a good book that makes people lose track of time." White quickly gave her the change and invited her enthusiastically: "I also like this book very much.
After you go back and read the book, you can come to me and we can meet up with some friends to discuss it."
"Okay, no problem." Lisa smiled and took the money and the book, walked out of the store in small steps, got into a red Porsche sports car parked on the side of the road, and walked toward the car amid the deafening roar of the engine.
Her law firm sped away.
Old White looked enviously at the small sports car going away, then turned to greet other guests.
I was so busy that the whole 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 the business situation this morning.
"Have you sold so many copies already?" He looked at the sales data above and suddenly realized that Harry Potter had sold more than 20 copies in just one morning!
This book is going to be a hit!
Old White, who has been running a bookstore for many years, smelled something unusual. He immediately picked up the phone on the table without hesitation and called a bookseller with whom he had a cooperative relationship, planning to take advantage of the book before it became popular.
Stock up on some before you get up to avoid running out of stock later.
"Hi, I'm White, old man."
"Do you still have Harry Potter there?"
"I want three...five hundred books. Leave me five hundred books. 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 to the 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 Harry Potter books in these people's stores were very good, he became more confident.
However, he did not place any more orders. 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 returned home with a scattered copy of Harry Potter that he had read all day long.
The wife who was preparing dinner in the kitchen was surprised when her husband came back at this time. She said apologetically: "Sorry, dear, I didn't expect you to come back so early. Dinner will have to wait for a while."
"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. After turning his back, he turned away.
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, gritting his teeth and staring at the end of the book.
This damn author actually made the plot stop abruptly at the climax!
"He must have done it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose!"
Old White was scratching his head for a while, his expression was very painful.
at the same time.
Lisa, who bought a copy of Harry Potter from Old White, 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
"Crap dog!"
The little rich woman was so angry that she cursed. She just raised her hand to throw away the book in her hand, but couldn't bear to take it back. Then she looked at the author's name and sincerely praised: "This is a very good writer!"
