Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 303 Southwest Bookstore
It was getting dark before returning to Rongcheng, and several people hurriedly ordered a hot pot meal. The spicy and delicious taste increased their appetites so much that even Zhou Sihui ate a lot.

When I got home, I took a shower, sat in front of the computer and started typing.

If you have time these days, write the second part of Harry Potter earlier, otherwise Saoirse will not be so free after she comes to Huaxia.

As the night deepened, the lights in the community dimmed little by little, only Ye Kai's room was brightly lit all night, and the sound of the keyboard continued.

…………

It took a few days for Ye Kai to write both the English and Chinese versions of the second Harry Potter book. During this period, people from Beifeng also came to Rongcheng and talked with Ye Kai about endorsement issues.

They really valued Ye Kai's reputation in the travel circle.

Qian Yekai, who spoke for him, didn't really care much about it. The main reason was that one of their clauses made Ye Kai very excited. It was what Sun Shang said before, and they would prepare a car for Ye Kai at the place where Ye Kai traveled.

In other words, you don't need to rent a car to travel in the future.

Beifeng is a big brand, although it is a domestic car, but it has sales channels in many places abroad, so Ye Kai does not need to rent a car to go to many places abroad.

Ye Kai likes this very much. If you make a phone call before getting on the plane, after getting off the plane, someone will drive to the airport to pick you up and send you a car.

This is the treatment only the big boss has, right?

And the advertisement is also very simple, needless to say, just find an open place in Rongcheng and drive in a suit, and the dubbing is also done by Beifeng Motor.

Ye Kai only hoped that it would not be the kind of advertisement that is popular all over the world.

Three days after the commercial was filmed, on July [-]st.

Today is also very important for Ye Kai.

Saoirse on summer vacation?

No...not exactly, apart from Saoirse's summer vacation, there is another thing that Ye Kai is very concerned about, that is, the Chinese version of Harry Potter is finally on sale.

There is no need to test the waters in a bookstore alone.

The current status of this book no longer needs to be tested. These days, a total of 80 copies of Harry Potter have been prepared, and Puri Culture directly made a big deal and distributed it all over the country in one go.

It seems like a lot, but scattered all over the country, this little book can't even splash a little water.

China's territory is not comparable to that of the UK.

Rongcheng Southwest Bookstore.

This bookstore is located near Chunxi Road and is one of the top ten bookstores in the country. This is the place Ye Kai often visits, and he buys books here.

But I didn't come here today to buy books.

Ye Kai is wearing a black T-shirt and a white baseball cap. If you lower your head slightly so that others can't see what you look like, he came here today to see how his book is selling in Huaxia.

Thanks to the fact that Ye Kai lives in Rongcheng and is a native of Sichuan Province, the Southwest Bookstore has the largest purchase volume among the bookstores in the country.

He not only sells books, but even serves as a transit point for the entire Sichuan book industry. If the books in other places are sold out, he will pick up the goods at this place.

When Ye Kai came, the bookstore had already opened, and there was already a long queue at the front desk after entering. There were many women in the queue, about 4:6, maybe a little more.

The Huaxia book market is still a fan economy, and many of the first batch of people who bought this book were die-hard fans of Ye Kai.

Looking at Ye Kai's photos, it's not hard to understand why there are so many female fans.

Going past these queues and going inside, the most conspicuous place is the new book desk on the first floor of the bookstore. In the past, it mainly sold new books and bestsellers, but today there is only one book here.

That is Harry Potter.

All other books were put on other bookcases.

There are crowds of people around here, some people go to the front desk to pay for the purchase with the book, and some stand nearby with the book for trial reading and watch it slowly.

Every book of this trial reading has three or five people get together to watch it.

This book is not as cheap as Ye Kai's previous two books. The price in the UK is so expensive. Huaxia can't set a price of 20 yuan or 30 yuan, can it?

Logged into the United States two days ago, the price is 11.9 US dollars, which is about 85 yuan converted into Huaxia currency.

Ye Kai went to the new book stand and took out a book. The cover of the book was not much different from the one in England, but all the English characters had been changed into Chinese characters. The title of the book was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Turn it over and look at the back, the white price tag says 58.

Many people who came here specially for this book held the book and talked about it.

"It's so expensive, isn't this stealing money?"

"Overseas prices are much more expensive than those in China. Both the UK and the US sell them for 58 or [-], while domestic prices are [-]. You should be content."

The person who told the book expensive before blushed and said, "Can it be the same? How rich are foreigners, we have to consider the national conditions."

In fact, it is already very cheap. Now Ye Kai's book fan group is not limited to China, and has accumulated a lot abroad.If the price difference between domestic and foreign countries is too large, Ye Kai himself will be affected to some extent.

Domestic consumption is actually not low. Apple is so expensive in China. Doesn’t it have so many diehard fans?
In fact, it's just that the concept has not been changed. Compared with the UK, China does not have the habit of reading paper books, and domestic pirated and fake products are rampant, which also affects people's desire to buy genuine ones.

Dozens of dollars is just one or two meals, and two less dishes can be scraped together. 58 dollars can’t even buy a skin in the game.

Ye Kai strolled around the bookstore for a while, and stood at the end of the queue holding a copy of Harry Potter.

There were about thirty or forty people in front, and 70.00% of them held Harry Potter in their hands. The people standing in front of Ye Kai even opened the book and started reading.

Haven't paid yet...

But when others saw that he was queuing up to buy, no one came over to say anything.

He kept his head down reading the book, and nodded as if he suddenly realized: "So that's the case, this brain hole is absolutely amazing!"

Ye Kai asked curiously: "What's the matter, is this book still available?"

The man glanced at Ye Kai, didn't look carefully at Ye Kai's face, nodded and said: "Do you think it's okay to be on the British bestseller list? But this book is really an orthodox Western novel, and I don't know." How did Ye Kai write it?"

"Maybe it's luck."

I didn't think much of it before, but now Ye Kai feels that he was able to write such a book because of luck. Given ten guts, Ye Kai didn't even dare to think that this book would become popular all over the world.

"Hehe." The man laughed twice, seeing that Ye Kai was also holding a copy of Harry Potter, he reminded, "If you are not used to reading Western novels, you don't need to buy them, after all, the price of this book is indeed a bit high. expensive."

There are very few domestic novels that cost more than 40 yuan. 40 seems to be a dividing line, and those above are all famous works or novels written by world-class writers.

Of course, this price is only for novels.
