Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 275 Be More Courageous

After half an hour, someone came and told Ye Kaicai that all the dishes were on the table, and the restaurant was in a French restaurant on the side of the square.

After Ye Kai nodded, someone began to apologize to the people in line, saying: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Ye has been sitting here to sign for nearly seven hours, please give us an hour to rest."

The person standing in front of Ye Kai was an uncle in his 40s. Seeing this, he took back the book he handed out and said, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Ye, go and enjoy your lunch first. Be sure to eat it slowly. This is what you should do." Got it."

Britons are used to queuing, and they are willing to wait under reasonable circumstances.

Ye Kai signed here for a few hours, and they also saw it. Most of the British who can come here are not the first time to participate in the signing meeting, and they all know the general process.

After personally saying sorry, Ye Kai and a few others rushed to the other side, the French restaurant called 'Café Rouge at the Strand' for lunch.

The dish was ordered by Ye Kai himself, five-ripe filet, the sauce covered the steak visible to the naked eye, steaming hot and full of aroma.

It was not easy to greet other people, so I hurried to eat, and the other employees were similar to Ye Kai, and there was no one chatting for a while.

These men will be changing after lunch, and this afternoon someone else will take over their duties.

Ye Kai looked at the people queuing up in the distance through the window, and said with some joy: "I thought it would be difficult to get out, but I just need to tell them that we are going to eat."

Four people sat at a table, and the person next to Ye Kai swallowed potatoes and said, "It's all like this, even if the prime minister comes, you can't take away your meal time."

"Where are you from?" Ye Kai asked.

Only four people from the publishing house came to assist Ye Kai in managing the signing, but these employees were obviously not from the publishing house, and Ye Kai had never met them before.

"We are employees of the bookstore, and our bookstore is at the intersection where the signature is signed."

"Oh."

It didn't take long for a filet leaf to be eaten, and it was all cleaned up. This was the first time he ate a steak in a hurry.I didn't feel the tenderness of the steak too much, but felt a little unpalatable.

The medium-rare steak still has to be chewed slowly, and it is the most delicious to have a sip of red wine from time to time.

But now in a hurry, I don't have so many ideas.

But seeing that there were still a lot of these people left after he finished eating, Ye Kai ordered two more snacks, and it took less than half an hour.The people queuing outside the window did not leave, but more and more people as time went by.

I was still busy in the afternoon, and even with Ye Kai's body, I couldn't bear the signing for such a long time.

From time to time, I need to move my fingers and wrists, and the interaction with my mouth is much less. Most of the time I spend my time signing, and after signing, I pass the book to others with a smile.

When the night lights of Pigeon Square came on, Ye Kai's signing speed exceeded the speed of book fans.

When the last book fan left with the book, Ye Kai saw that all the employees were looking tired.

They are more tired than the morning people.

Seeing this, Ye Kai called people from the publishing house, and after discussing with them, they gathered everyone together and said: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone, I have nothing to do at night, let's go to the bar for a drink together."

The employees of these bookstores looked at each other, froze for two seconds and began to cheer.

If one were to rank all the drinking-loving countries in the world, the British would probably rank first for a long time, and they even liked drinking more than the Russians.

In their eyes, wine is omnipotent, it can make friends, flirt, strengthen courage, invigorate blood, and relieve sorrow...

But there is a downside.

They generally don't drink much.

The carnival lasted for three hours. The employees who came to help in the morning also came to the bar after get off work from the bookstore, and Kom also came to participate in the carnival after the success of the signing.

Ye Kai thought that as long as the signing meeting was not too shabby, it would be fine, but he really underestimated himself.

In the whole signing session, except for eating, there was no rest, and this was me. If I were any other writer, I would probably not be able to sign more than half of my name in a day.

Ye Kai couldn't even remember how many books he had written his name on.

Some of these people are from China, some are from island countries, but most of them are local residents of the UK, and from Ye Kai's inquiry, it is known that many of them know this book from their friends.

This means that the reputation of "Harry Potter" is still strong, and the publicity effect can still achieve the desired results of the publishing house.

After twelve o'clock, a group of drunks helping each other walked out of the hotel. Ye Kai's drinking capacity increased, but now he walked out of the bar soberly.

Kom didn't drink much, and the two walked at the back of the line.

The street lights in London at night illuminate the passing pedestrians. Kom noticed that Ye Kai's right hand would occasionally tremble subconsciously, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired today?"

"It's okay." Ye Kai said indifferently, and then asked, "How many copies have you sold today?"

Ke Mu thought about the statistics given to him by the bookstore just now, and said: "The specific data has not yet arrived, and now we can only know how many books were sold on the spot."

"How many copies?"

With a mysterious expression, Ke Mu quietly gestured a 2.

Ye Kai didn't guess how many books, but seeing Ke Mu's happy expression, he knew that the number of books sold on the spot today would not be too small, perhaps even higher than expected?

"Twenty thousand?" Ye Kai said.

"How could it be only 20? What are you talking about? [-]!"

"How is it possible?" Ye Kai said loudly, then looked at the people in front of him, lowered his voice and asked Ke Mu, "20? It was only [-] a few days ago."

Ke Mu smiled triumphantly: "Now do you know why I must have you hold a book signing meeting in Pigeon Square? There are already a lot of tourists here, and many people from other places will queue up even if they haven't heard of your book. purchase."

"And we have calculated that today is the breakout period after our publicity. In the next few days from today, the sales volume of "Harry Potter" will not be less than [-] copies."

"It's really scary. I signed 20 copies today?"

"Not necessarily." Kom said, "Maybe some people just bought the book, but didn't come to ask you to sign it, but probably the data is correct, it's okay, don't be too proud."

But the excitement on Kom's face was almost overflowing.

Ye Kai is also in a daze, 20 a day for a bookstore?

If, as Kom said, the daily sales in the next few days will not be less than [-], won't it soon surpass his previous two books?
That's not a chance...

Ye Kaixin is also getting hotter. If this trend continues, won't he have a chance to be on the UK's annual best-selling list of new books?Or be bolder.
