Early in the morning on March 23, Liang Xin originally planned to go to the bookstore to check out Zhang Zhong's latest collection of books, but the phone call from Xu Yuhan yesterday changed her plan slightly.
She still had to pick up the book set, but not to the bookstore but to the publishing company's branch in Yanjing. Early this morning, she received a message from the publishing company. She was drawn by the official to win an award, and the award was
The prize is the latest collector's edition book set, and it's the signed one.
Of course, she has not participated in any lottery activities, and this event was drawn directly from the Star Card winners. As a perennial African sheikh, it is impossible for her to win the prize without Xu Yuhan's manipulation.
When Liang Xin went to get the book, the employees of the Yanjing branch congratulated her with envy.
"It seems to be a temporary event. Only ten people won the prize in total. This event was drawn among all Star Card holders. With so many people having Star Cards, the probability of winning is at least one in a million.
Miss, you are also the only one in our Yanjing area who has won an award."
Liang Xin smiled like a big child. She would not tell this company employee that her probability of winning the lottery was actually 100%.
But she didn't expect that Xu Yuhan would organize an event specifically for her and give away ten prizes.
When Xu Yuhan called her before, she thought Xu Yuhan would send a copy directly to her.
Looking at the set of books she got, Liang Xin curled her lips. Most people couldn't buy this set of books, not because of the price, but because these dozens of books were too heavy when put together.
If someone from the branch hadn't helped her carry her to the car, she would have had to go back and forth so many times by herself.
It's okay for people like her who have a car. The worst it can do is run a few more times, but for those who don't have a car, this set of books is not very friendly.
However, there are no solutions at all. Readers can choose to buy online and have the products delivered directly to their homes by express delivery.
Anyway, if you buy books from the official website, as long as you don’t live too far away, shipping is free, so you don’t have to spend a penny more.
There are also readers who don’t have a car but don’t want to buy one from the official website.
After all, buying from the official website means it will take a while to receive the book. If it is shipped today, the fastest you can get it is tomorrow.
It would be fine if this collection's edition were all old books, but it also includes the new book "Speaker for the Dead".
At this time, they are faced with a choice. Some people choose to buy a set from the official website and then go to the bookstore to buy a separate copy of "Speaker for the Dead", while some people go directly to the bookstore to buy the book and then choose to store it in the bookstore.
Many bookstores have launched such considerate services because of this collector's edition. After buying the book, readers can store the book in the bookstore for a period of time, and then the reader can take it back in several installments.
Anyway, each level has its own countermeasures, and it has not affected the sales of the new book. On the contrary, it has caused a lot of heated discussions.
A relatively popular picture also appeared on the Internet. A little girl bought a book in a bookstore, packed it up in a sack, and carried it home.
【Hahaha, do you have to bring a sack when buying books now?】
[Before, I didn’t feel much at all just hearing about the book set, but now I see so many books put together, it’s really quite heavy.]
[How much does this set of books weigh together?]
【It must be thirty or forty pounds.】
[It’s actually not very heavy, it just takes up space when stacked together and is difficult to move.]
[It’s quite heavy, so boys can do it, but girls generally can’t handle it.]
[Yes, I buy ten kilograms of rice in the supermarket, and I can’t even carry a bag.]
[I always feel that ten kilograms of rice is heavier than ten kilograms of books. I don’t know why.]
【Yes, I feel that way.】
[I bought it from the official website anyway and had it shipped directly to my home.]
[I also bought it from the official website, and also bought a new book to satisfy my craving.]
[I bought five sets, but I don’t know how the courier guy will deliver them then.]
【Why buy so many.】
[I keep two sets for myself, and keep the other sets to give away. Anyway, I get more points by buying books during this period.]
[Rich man, I still made a lot of determination before I decided to buy a set. I usually buy them one by one, but buying a set at once feels very painful. 】
[The social animal said that after buying this set of books, I will have to eat instant noodles this month.]
[The points activity this time is really awesome. People like me, who have no interest in traditional literature at all, actually read "The Ordinary World", "Alive", "Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood", "Lord of the Flies" and "Border Town" in one breath.
》I bought all these books and read some during this time.】
[Brother, after reading this, you may feel lucky for your decision today. Congratulations on opening a new world. 】
[Ah ah ah, this is the second time I have gone to the bookstore. Seeing the intensity of this points activity, I always feel that it is a bit of a loss if I don’t buy a few books today. Zhang Zhong should publish some different versions of the books earlier, so that I can
More choices.]
[Everyone should consume rationally. When buying things like books, you have to do what you can, especially if you have already bought them. It is not cost-effective to buy them again.]
[Yes, the official website specifically reminds everyone to consume rationally. 】
[Is this event really just for single-day book sales?]
[It must be true, the new books are now on the shelves in the United States, and this time they are really being released simultaneously around the world. 】
[Let me go, it’s true. This is really released at the same time. This time, foreigners took advantage and read the book with us.]
[Are you kidding me? It will be released simultaneously in more than 60 languages around the world. It is full of firepower. Basically, it is guaranteed to break the record. 】
[I can’t wait to see how high this record can be.]
[It will take some time to compile the data, but according to my observation, it must be a very scary number, because the bookstore in front of my home is packed with people buying new books. 】
[The bookstore in front of my house is also the same. This is the first time I have seen this kind of scene. 】
[The bookstore actually feels like a mall sale.]
[It seems that everyone is focusing on sales now, why is no one talking about new books?]
[The new book just came out, so no one has finished reading it yet.]
【No more talking, no more talking, I'm going to read a book.】
[Wait, I’ll come over and share my thoughts with you after I finish reading.]
…
On March 23, news about bookstores was reported everywhere, and many bookstores were overcrowded.
When Zhang Zhong released new books in the past, although the bookstore would have many people coming to buy books, it was the first time in history that it was so crowded like this time.
