But what surprised Xinwu was that he stood at the door and shouted several times, but the owner of Penghua Bookstore in front of him still ignored him.
"Boss, what are you doing here?"
Xinwu muttered silently and didn't think much about it. He just assumed that the other party was too busy to hear and chased after the boss.
It wasn't until Boss Zhang was stopped that the boss in front of him stopped and looked at Xin Wu with an embarrassed look on his face.
Xinwu had no doubt that he was there, so he took the initiative to say, "Boss Zhang, I brought the book to you, where do you want to see it?"
Boss Zhang still looked at Xin Wu with some embarrassment, and after a while he said with an embarrassed look.
"Boss Xinwu, my bookstore has just received a batch of new books. Now there is no room for new books in the store. I'm really sorry."
As soon as these words came out, Xinwu's smile suddenly became a little stiff.
He usually cooperates with bookstores, but every time the bookstore begs to cooperate with them, when does he have the resources to ask for a channel dealer?
Just so that "Zhu Xian" could be put on the shelves normally, Xinwu could only endure his discomfort and continue to ask. "Um...Boss Zhang, didn't we agree before to deliver the book today?"
"If it's really inconvenient, why don't you put the books away first and put them on the shelves for sale when there is space?"
As soon as this proposal came out, Boss Zhang was slightly moved, but in the end he shook his head and glanced at "Zhu Xian" held in Xin Wu's hand.
There is really no need to offend Tianhai Publishing House, the largest publishing house in Pengcheng, for a book, a book by an unknown author.
The blame...it's your fault that Xin Wufei couldn't figure it out and had to leave Tianhai Publishing House.
What's more, I've never heard of this thing called Beicunxing. Even if it goes on the shelves, I'm afraid it won't be sold. Why offend Tianhai because of him?
"Sorry, Boss Xinwu, my warehouse is full. How about we come next time?"
"Next time... next time it's available on the shelves, I'll definitely notify you as soon as possible!"
The boss Zhang in front of me had a sincere voice. It seemed that he really couldn't accept this batch of goods because the warehouse was full?
But Xinwu knew very well that if this was really the reason, this guy could have contacted him yesterday.
Xinwu took a deep breath, held back his temper and walked out.
Penghua Bookstore is one of the largest bookstores in the area. Even if this guy lies tomorrow, he can't openly offend this guy.
Having been an editor for so many years, he knows very well that no matter how good the book is, if no store is willing to sell it to you, it will be difficult to make money. But if someone is willing to praise you, no matter how bad the book is, it can still be touted as a classic.
.
For example, he knew that there was once a scholar named Jia in the literary world who, relying on his father's name, wrote several pieces of shitty literature that were worse than those of a three-year-old child.
In the end, it was not only praised by the literary world, but also appeared in newspapers.
All this is the current situation in the literary world today. No matter how confident he is in "Zhu Xian", he can only reluctantly accept it when faced with these unspoken rules.
After leaving Penghua Bookstore, Xinwuyi gritted his teeth and went to several other agreed bookstores in succession.
But the result he got made Xinwu a little disappointed.
These bookstores that had already made appointments to put "Zhu Xian" on the shelves today have now broken their agreements one by one and refused to put "Zhu Xian" on the shelves.
"Xu Lei, your bookstore was squeezed by others and was about to close down. It was me who helped you contact distributors and book resources so that your Kuaige Bookstore could survive. Now you actually want to go back on your word? Are you on Tianhai's side?
"
Looking at the gentle middle-aged man in front of him, Xinwu accused him extremely rudely.
Being accused by Xin Wu in public, the gentle middle-aged Xu Lei smiled unabated and said comfortingly. "Old Xin, your words are a bit hurtful to the feelings between brothers."
"Although I am the boss of Kuaige Bookstore, I still have many shareholders. I am really embarrassed by the things they don't agree with, right?"
Seeing this guy still playing football here, Xinwu's anger was completely ignited.
The previous boss said it was a cooperative relationship, but the Xu Lei in front of him, who he regarded as a friend, treated him like this?
The exchanges that once occurred during the holidays now seem to have no importance at all!
"Xu Lei, stop fucking pretending. It's the people over at Tianhai who don't want to sell my books."
"Bah, what are you pretending to be here for me if you are so greedy for profit?"
Xu Lei pushed up his glasses. Seeing that Xinwu had seen through it, he was too lazy to pretend.
"I'm pretending?"
"As long as you have a chance, I will not betray you, but what about you?"
Saying that, Xu Lei grabbed "Zhu Xian" from Xin Wu's hand and held it up in the air with special disdain.
"Taking this book as the basis for your fortune? Come on, Shinmu, you are an old man who has been in the industry for more than ten years. Why would you place your hopes here?"
"Beicun? I've never heard of his name. Can you believe that this kind of book can be sold and pigs can fly into the sky?"
Xin Wu clenched his fists, took "Zhu Xian" back from Xu Lei's hand, and said with gritted teeth.
"A person like you and a store like you are not worthy of this book. When this book becomes a big seller, it will be useless even if you kneel down and beg me!"
After saying that, Xinwu turned around and left without hesitation.
Xu Lei behind the scenes didn't care at all about Xin Wu's threat.
Looking for something new, would you like to sell this copy of "Zhu Xian" by Lao Shizi in Kuai Pavilion?
Don't be kidding, if this crappy book can sell a thousand copies, it's considered a miracle!
If this obscure book becomes popular, he can kneel down and be his son to Xin Wu!
…
Xinwu walked out of Kuaige Bookstore angrily, but as soon as he went out, he saw two of you that he least wanted to see!
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Xiong, Cheng Lin. Why are you here?"
Cheng Lin looked sarcastic.
"Hahaha... I heard that no one wants some people's books. Now it seems that this is not a rumor!"
"you……"
Zhang Xiong also sneered, "I told you a long time ago, Xinwu, you are nothing if you leave Tianhai!"
Xinwu Nuji pointed at Zhang Xiong and shouted, "Fart, if you hadn't been playing tricks and threatening these bookstores, how could no one be willing to put "Zhu Xian" on the shelves?"
"Let me tell you, the more you engage in such little tricks, the more it means that you are panicking, you are scared, and you are afraid that "Shu Xian" will defeat you!"
Xinwu's words made Zhang Xiong's smile freeze.
On the other hand, Cheng Lin, who was standing by him, didn't feel any embarrassment at all. He pointed to the other side of the road and said angrily.
"Colleagues, don't blame me for not taking care of you. Don't you want to prove that your crappy book is easy to sell? Well, isn't there a bookstore across the street? Don't you have confidence in your "Zhu Xian"? Where are you going to sell it?
I promise not to stop you!"
"
Xinwu looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Lin. Under the bridge opposite, there happened to be a shabby bookstore that didn't even have a sign.
Compared to the exquisite and avant-garde Kuaige Bookstore just opposite, it goes without saying that readers will go there to buy books!
Faced with Cheng Lin's ridicule, Xin Wuyi gritted his teeth and strode directly towards the dilapidated Qiaodong Bookstore.
Watching Xin Wu's leaving figure, Cheng Lin and Zhang Xiong laughed particularly happily.
With such a small bookstore, even if it were given to Xin Wu, how many books could he sell in a year?
10 copies? 5 copies?
Totally not an opponent of the same level!
Compared with the books from Tianhai Publishing House, it’s not even a fraction!
Zhang Xiong shook his head.
At first, he was worried that Xinwu would steal his business, but now it seems...
Vulnerable!
…
Without the obstruction of Tianhai Publishing House, the cooperation between Xinwu and Qiaodong Bookstore went very smoothly.
In other words, there is no need to talk about it at all. The store with more than ten square meters not only sells novels, but also some snacks and drinks. As soon as the boss heard that Xinwu wanted to sell new books here, he agreed without hesitation.
But after coming out of Qiaodong Bookstore, Xinwu felt extremely heavy in his heart.
What should we do with "Soo Sin" now?
In the entire Pengcheng, there is only one small bookstore like this on the shelves, and it is extremely difficult to sell it.
Another point is...should I make a call and ask Yang Jianguang what to do?
Soon Shinno shook his head.
I really overthink it. After all, Yang Jianguang is just a student with a talent for writing books. How could he possibly know how to sell books?
With Tianhai Publishing House standing in the way, it is almost impossible to successfully sell "Zhu Xian"...
It was just that he was confused until the evening, and Xinwu still dialed Yang Jianguang's number.
This time it was considered a failure. I was disappointed with Yang Jianguang’s commission, and I was also disappointed with the book "Zhu Xian".
But as Yang Jianguang was the author of Zhuxian, Xinwu thought that he still had to tell Yang Jianguang about this terrible situation.
As for Yang Jianguang’s solution? To be honest, Xinwu has no hope at all.
