June 2013, Chengdu
Today, many bookstores had a copy of " Those Things About the Ming Dynasty ".
When it came to a new book, the booth was especially important. For example, there was a big difference between a book being placed in a place where people could see it at a glance or a place where they would have to look for it for a long time.
Although " Those Things in the Ming Dynasty " was ridiculed by Yan Xiaokang, under Shi Chuanfeng's insistence, it still got a relatively good booth for newcomers.
However, such a booth would change every day. Even for Shi Chuanfeng's sake," Those Matters of the Ming Dynasty " could only be displayed at this booth for three days at most. After three days, if the sales volume did not increase, it would only be suppressed by other books.
Therefore, the sales volume within these three days was also crucial!
Today, many people who walked into the bookstore wanted to see the new book.
The citizens of the Empire had been taught to read books since they were young. They also liked to see if there were any new good books to read.
Jiang Kaian waited until 5:30 pm to get off work and invited a group of colleagues to the nearest Peng Lian Bookstore. The six of them were all here to read.
In fact, they did not necessarily have to buy books. Many of them came to read free books, but they would buy three or four books a month. Many bookstores in the empire were more generous, and they would not drive away people who came to read free books.
The few of them walked inside and looked at the new books. Jiang Kaian took a fancy to the book " Those Things in the Ming Dynasty " at a glance. He was not interested in other financial books.
"What book is this?"
The others came over with some interest, but when they saw that the trial book was in Jiang Kaian's hands, they went to read other new books.
Jiang Kaian didn't read the preface or anything else. Instead, he went straight to the point and read the first chapter.
"Chapter 1, childhood. Let's start with a file!”Jiang Kaian looked at these with interest. Then, he saw Li Chencan's interesting evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang and laughed."Why do you write history like this? I haven't seen it yet! But it's quite interesting!"
Jiang Kaian continued to read the book with great interest, and then…his eyes couldn't leave the book.
His expression was also changing profusely. Sometimes, he was full of smiles, and he couldn't even hide the smile that came from his heart. Sometimes, he frowned, and sometimes he clenched his fists. He was very nervous. Unknowingly, he suddenly felt a pat on his shoulder.
"Ah!" Because he was too engrossed in the world of books, Jiang Kaian was patted by someone and was scared out of his wits. He turned his head and saw that it was his colleague. He immediately flew into a rage and said,"What are you doing?"
"What time is it? Why aren't you leaving?”"Look at your watch," said Jiang Kaian's colleague.”
Jiang Kaian looked at his watch and realized that two hours had passed unknowingly! Honestly speaking, when he was reading some fast-paced novels in the past, he would also lose track of time like this. Sometimes, three to four hours would pass unknowingly…But today…God, he was reading history! He actually forgot the time?
"What kind of book charmed you like this?" Jiang Kaian's colleague looked at the cover of the book.""Those Things in the Ming Dynasty? When did you start paying attention to history?”
" It's not that I care about history…It's just that this book is really interesting…" Jiang Kaian was about to hand the book to his colleague, but he thought about it and put it away."Let's go home!"
"This is ridiculous!" Jiang Kaian's colleague was a little speechless. Meanwhile, Jiang Kaian had already brought " Those Things About the Ming Dynasty " to the front desk to pay.
The cashier happened to know Jiang Kaian, so she smiled and said,"Old Jiang, I don't usually see you buying new books.”
"This book is very good…"
The next day, Jiang Kaian came to the office. He had been reading like crazy for five hours the night before. He had finished reading the first part of " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty "! In this book, he saw the magnificent battle of Zhuyuan, and also saw Zhu Yuanzhang gradually transforming into a vicious emperor, and the process of his grandson's country being usurped by his son!
The entire process was fast paced, and the words used were bloody. Moreover, it was continued in a humorous tone, making people feel relaxed while reading the book!
"When will the second book be released?" Jiang Kaian was already struggling with this question.
When he arrived at the office, his colleagues were curious about him because they had panda eyes after reading " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty " last night. When Jiang Kaian told them about the incident, Xiong Kun, the colleague who had called him yesterday, suddenly understood and took the " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty " from his desk. Jiang Kaian had already finished reading it himself, so he did not stop him.
Xiong Kun's reaction was similar to Jiang Kaian's. In the beginning, he didn't feel anything. He just felt that it was very humorous…But as he read…he was dragged into the world of the book and could never come out! The magnificent war scenes and the intricate interpretation of history had left him only seduced by the book and unable to pull himself out.
He couldn't help but go to the toilet. Who knew that when he came back, someone beside him, who was also curious, took the book to read, but he couldn't pull it out. Now, he refused to return the book to him.
"F * ck! Slut!" Xiong Kun gave the man the middle finger angrily, but he didn't have much to do today. The office was about to have a swivel chair race. Thinking that his book had been snatched away by someone else, Xiong Kun felt a wave of frustration in his heart. He stood up and said to Jiang Kaian,"If the supervisor comes over later, just say that I went to the toilet.”
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Kaian asked weakly.”
"I'm going to buy a copy of 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty'," Xiong Kun said.”
"Just look at mine…Why are you buying it?”Jiang Kaian said incredulously. Normally, Xiong Kun would never buy a book if he could freeload. But now, he actually wanted to buy a book that he could freeload! It was unbelievable.
" Here…" Xiong Kun pouted his lips angrily at the person who had just snatched his book."That birdman took my book away, so I had to buy one.”
"Just wait!"
"I can't wait anymore!" "I want to see it now!" Xiong Kun said in a hurry.”Seeing Xiong Kun's expression, Jiang Kaian was deeply moved when he thought about how he couldn't bear to let it go.
Xiong Kun continued," This kind of book isn't like those fast-food novels. This is a historical text. It's just expressed in different ways. Buying one is also very valuable!”
After saying that, Xiong Kun quickly ran out to buy books.
The same thing happened one after another in the office. Just this office alone contributed to the sales of four sets of " Those Things About the Ming Dynasty "! Not to mention the other offices that were affected by them!
Similar things happened in many places in Chengdu!
On the second day of " Those Things About the Ming Dynasty ", the sales volume began to rise.
