On the second floor of Tongyoutongwu Bookstore, looking at the author-specific bookshelves near the front row, Llorente said with a smile.
There are still three days until the official start of the World Science Fiction Convention, but Linde and Llorente have already arrived early.
In addition to the two of them, Affleck is also planning to come over this time to join in the fun, but he has made announcements in the past two days that he will not come until the official start of the World Science Fiction Convention, and he cannot stay for five days, at most three days.
To leave.
According to Linde and Llorente, the reason why they came several days in advance was to eat and drink at Zhang Zhong's place.
Before coming here, Lin De had heard about Tong You Tong Wu Bookstore. When he came this time, he asked Zhang Zhong about it. He heard that it was near Zhang Zhong's house and asked him to take them to have a look.
When Zhang Zhong and others arrived, there were a lot of people in the bookstore, and Qin Zhao was also helping his father look after the store.
Qin Zhao has now become the mascot of the bookstore.
Qin Cheng made a desk behind the cashier. Normally, Qin Zhao would sit at that desk and read. Sometimes when there were few people in the bookstore, he would go to the small balcony on the second floor and lean on the railing to read.
Most of the people who come to this bookstore know Qin Zhao and have to take a look at him every time they come here. Some people even come just to see him.
After all, although Qin Zhao is young, he is also a best-selling author. In addition to his young age, he has fans from his brothers, sisters, and even his mother.
Zhang Zhong brought Linde and Llorente over, and Qin Zhao took the initiative to act as a tour guide, walking in front to introduce them to the bookstore.
Qin Zhao's English level is pretty good, but his spoken English is not very good and he speaks stumblingly.
When it comes to language, no matter how talented you are, if you don't speak it normally, it will be difficult to speak it well when you do speak it.
However, it is not difficult to communicate, as long as you slow down the pace.
"Are you interested in getting your own bookshelf here?" Zhang Zhong asked with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Zhong's proposal, Llorente was very interested, "Okay, are there any special procedures required? What are the specialties for the books on this bookshelf?"
"It doesn't matter, just put some of your own signed books." Zhang Zhong said.
Qin Zhao also said, "If you agree, the bookstore will create your own... brand... and put it on the bookshelf."
Qin Zhao has become much more cheerful during this period. If it were before, he would most likely not take the initiative to speak in this situation.
Llorente smiled and said, "This is easy. Do I need to provide the book myself?"
"We can also..."
Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, Zhang Zhong interrupted him directly, "Of course, the Tong You Tong Wu books are all provided by the members themselves, and Daniel you are certainly no exception."
"Well, okay, I'll get back to you..." Llorente glanced at Linde, "Are you interested in getting your own theme bookshelf here?"
Linde had been dealing with Llorente for so long, so he naturally knew that Llorente had many evil thoughts, so he was more thoughtful and did not answer him directly. Instead, he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Llorente smiled and said, "If you have any ideas, buy mine when you go back to buy books. I'll say thank you in advance."
"There is absolutely no such possibility. Didn't you hear pz say that the books in Tongyoutongwu Bookstore are all provided by members themselves. If I buy it for you, then it must be placed on my bookshelf and the book must be signed by me.
Name." Linde said.
"Hey, you have a beautiful idea." Llorente immediately quit, "There is no co-branding on this thing."
Linde said with a smile, "Don't you like signing autographs for fans? Signing a few books is as easy as drinking water for you."
He pouted at the crowd of onlookers again, "How about you just make a call on the spot, and I'm sure many fans will send you books."
Summer is the peak season for bookstores. Students are on vacation, and many of them go inside bookstores.
Moreover, the bookstore has air conditioning and seats. Staying here is more comfortable than at home, and it can also save electricity bills.
Zhang Zhong and others did not avoid anyone when they came, they just walked up in a swaggering manner.
The three of them walk together. Anyone who reads science fiction novels will basically be able to recognize at least one of them, let alone Tong You Tong Wu Bookstore, where most of the fans are Zhang Zhong.
After all, membership development started with Zhang Zhong’s support club.
Although there were no security guards to maintain order, everyone still kept a certain distance from Zhang Zhong and the others and formed a large circle inside the bookstore.
Everyone is a scholar and very restrained.
Most people looked at Llorente with sharp eyes, because Llorente was famous for being close to the people. He often took the initiative to sign autographs for readers, sometimes even more actively than the readers.
Hearing Linde's words again at this moment, the emotions of the people around him were suddenly aroused. If it weren't for the prohibition of making loud noises in the bookstore, everyone would probably shout Llorente's name.
Linde was just joking, but Llorente was a little eager to try.
Zhang Zhong saw Llorente rubbing his hands and wanting to pick up the gun and said quickly, "The bookstore has recently bought some new books, right? Qin Zhao, please take us there to take a look."
Qin Zhao understood and immediately said, "There are many, please come with me."
Zhang Zhong was not worried that Llorente’s signing of autographs would cause confusion to the readers, he just didn’t want the two fishes in the pond, himself and Linde, to be affected.
If Llorente ran to sign autographs for readers, he and Linde would not be able to escape either.
Qin Zhao then introduced to Linde and Llorente the operation of the bookstore and some special activities in the bookstore, such as reading testimonial boards.
And he also helped Linde and Llorente download the Tongyoutongwu app on their mobile phones.
Linde and Llorente are quite interested in the Tongyoutongwu app. They feel that this online and offline reading discussion app is different from ordinary reading apps. It is very realistic and easy to resonate with.
However, it is a pity that the Tongyoutongwu app is currently only available in Chinese. Although Linde and Llorente downloaded the app, they could not understand the content at all.
"I asked them to create an English section later, but even if they did, it would be just a show-off. After all, there is only one Tong You Tong Wu bookstore in the country, and it will take a long time to develop it abroad." Zhang Zhong said.
"You can open one directly in the United States." Llorente suggested.
"It's not that simple. This model is still in the trial stage, and many problems need to be solved urgently. If you rush to the United States to open a branch, problems can easily arise."
Llorente shrugged his shoulders, "You can correct the problem as you go. I think you are still timid."
Zhang Zhong also followed his example and shrugged, "If you're brave, just open your own shop. There's no patent protection for this anyway."
"Tch, I don't see any profit potential in this bookstore for the time being. I'd better forget about my royalties."
