Chapter 149 All Acquaintances

With the experience of sweeping goods for the first time, Jiang Qi started the sweeping mode in the banquet hall.

New authors are not considered and there is no ready stock.

I don’t think much about large-scale distribution, and the city-limited exclusive price is too expensive. But not every big publisher only sells city-limited exclusives. Big publishers that started from small publishers step by step have one advantage: they have many products.

Jiang Qi saw a stall with a large poster and three stalls on top of it, and saw a leaflet full of discounts.

A total of 13 boxes are available for 3 cities, and all books are discounted. The more you buy, the greater the discount. Jiang Qi used a calculator to calculate. If he bought all 13 boxes, the average price would only be 254, which is a very favorable price.

But it’s a pity that this is a publisher with a decent scale. 2 of the 13 box sets are already available in Jiang Qi’s store. Looking at the names of the remaining 11 Jiang Qi books, I feel like some of them look like Happy Tears books and don’t fit the bill. He requested to scan the goods.

There are only three books with names that look like horror books, and maybe two emotional books. But Jiang Qi has higher requirements for emotional books than horror books. When he buys horror books, he is not afraid of buying bad books. As long as the writing is not so bad that he can't read it, he dares to buy it.

There is no way, who told the store to have such conditions?

Other stores that open horror books have to work hard on lighting, props, and NPCs to create an atmosphere. Store owners with the conditions like Yan Huaiyou also made a special horror evidence collection corridor covered with light-absorbing paint and a special secret passage for horror books, which can be regarded as a huge investment.

Jiang Qi doesn't need to get these things. There are real Gumantong in the store, and Lili is enough to open the horror book.

Lili has no way to create something out of nothing within the confines of a non-horror dollhouse. She cannot make the wall suddenly bleed, nor can she make the blood stains and writing suddenly disappear, but she can control what exists at will.

For example, let a piece of white cloth fly like Piao, let the room door suddenly lock, let the lights flicker on and off, and let the pen suddenly start writing on the paper.

These are enough for ordinary horror books. If every horror book from Galaxy Script Club was as scary as a real haunted house, the script shop would become a legend in the CD market.

Jiang Qi has the confidence to buy horror books indiscriminately, but he does not have the confidence to buy emotional books indiscriminately.

Although Liu Lan could change the original version, the extent of the change was very limited. This can be seen from "Time Cinema", no matter how she changes it, it doesn't seem to work.

She can only change the process, but cannot change the core of a book.

Although Jiang Qi has never played any emotional novels, he has read a lot of them and knows that emotional novels are very demanding on writing and plot.

You still have to be cautious when buying sentimental books. Buying a bunch of bad books and going back to the store to open them will only destroy the customer favorability that you have finally accumulated.

Jiang Qi stared at the book on the flyer with some confusion.

There was no one at this stall, but there was a small sign that read: 1103 is opening the book, welcome ob.

Jiang Qi decided to go and have a look.

When Jiang Qi arrived, a lot of people gathered around 1103. Six of the playbook owners held A4 papers in their hands for easy identification, and the remaining seven onlookers couldn't tell whether they were from the distribution or the store.

One of the gamers is an acquaintance, Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun was a little surprised to see Jiang Qi coming. He smiled at Jiang Qi as a greeting and said nothing because the performance was about to take place in the room.

1103 is a suite with a large space. When the lights dimmed, a young girl wearing a costume, full makeup and headdress suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which shocked Jiang Qi.

Accompanied by the eerie BGM, the woman quietly walked to the center and started singing babblingly.

Jiang Qi:......

So ugly.

One thing to say is that this girl was very careful in her appearance, but her voice was really ugly when she deliberately pinched her throat to imitate the drama and babbling words that he could not hear clearly.

Singing opera is not something you can sing just by practicing.

The simple girl only sang for more than three minutes. She probably wouldn't be able to sing for a long time. After singing, she performed another one-man show that Jiang Qi couldn't understand because he didn't know the previous plot at all. Then a handsome guy dressed as a nobleman from the Republic of China came out. The two performed another part before the performance ended.

Everyone in the room applauded enthusiastically.

Emotional book?

Jiang Qi felt that this should be over soon, so he decided to stay and watch the follow-up.

After the entire book was finished, Jiang Qi took the A4 paper handed to him by Jiang Jun and briefly read the content and writing style. A group of people began to praise how good this book was. Several stores began to sign the letter of intent, and the publishers took the opportunity to promote the previous books. In the old version, Jiang Qicai roughly understood the plot.

I finally know what this book is called.

"Rouge Blood"

This is a horror book set in the Republic of China. It tells a cliché love ghost story about a little opera singer who fell in love with a noble prince, and then was beaten to death and turned into a vicious ghost.

The writing is good, much better than "Psychic Ghost School III", no wonder Dare City has limited sales.

Jiang Jun also signed the letter of intent, but she seemed unwilling to stay for a long time. After signing the letter of intent, she left without saying anything, and Jiang Qi quickly followed.

It would be great if Jiang Jun wanted to buy this new copy. The flyer clearly states that the discount will be greater if you buy the new copy and then the old copy.

"Boss Jiang is interested in this book?" Jiang Jun asked.

Jiang Qi shook his head very honestly: "I just came here to take a look, mainly because I want to buy the ones on the flyer."

Jiang Jun took the flyer and looked at it: "These are all books that were published before this was released. These are all old books from a few years ago. They may be a bit outdated now."

Scripts are updated very quickly. Unless the script itself is of excellent quality, it will soon be eliminated by the market.

"What about these horror books?"

"These are okay, but don't buy "Wraith"."

"Sister Najun, are you interested in today's book?"

Jiang Jun shook his head: "I'm not very interested. If the person named Zhen wants to compete with me, I will let him. The writing is actually okay, but I feel that as a horror book, the horror part is a bit weak, and the love part is too heavy."

"I don't think the interpretation is very good. Singing is really difficult for the people in my store. If singing well is a highlight, singing poorly is simply a disaster."

"Indeed." Jiang Qi nodded in agreement. The moment the opera singer opened her mouth, he almost couldn't help but put on a mask of pain.

Seeing that Jiang Jun had no intention to buy, Jiang Qi went back to the publisher to buy a boxed copy.

The publishers of "Rouge Blood" were two men and one woman. When Jiang Qi turned back, one of the male publishers was smoking at the door. Seeing Jiang Qi coming back, he quickly greeted him enthusiastically.

This time Jiang Qi had experience, so he opened his mouth and said: "Are all the boxes in stock?"

"Yes, of course."

Jiang Qi directly placed the order, added WeChat, transferred money, and sent the store name and delivery address in one step.

Just when Jiang Qi was about to find a third distributor, the publisher of "Horror. Dollhouse" sent him a message, telling him that the bus for the evening was ready and would be in room 701 at 7 o'clock.

It took Jiang Qi more than four hours to buy 10 books. It is already 6:30, only half an hour before seven o'clock. It is impossible to find a third distribution company. Finding a place to fill your stomach is the real thing.

Jiang Qi left the exhibition hotel and found a small shop to eat rice bowl. While eating, he received a WeChat message from Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun gave him a list of books and told him that if he wanted to buy boxed books in bulk, he could give priority to these books. She couldn't quite remember the names of most of these books, so Jiang Qi needed to find them by himself.

This list was a great help to Jiang Qi. He quickly replied with a thank you and began to read the list carefully.

Since Jiang Jun didn't know that Jiang Qi only wanted to buy emotional books and horror books, the proportion of these two types of books in this list was not very heavy.

By the time Jiang Qi finished studying the list and finished eating the rice bowl, it was already 6:55. Jiang Qi, who was worried that he would be late for the first time on the bus, hurried to the hotel.

Then he met another acquaintance at the door of 701.

The publisher of "Psychic School III".

What a coincidence.

In such a large exhibition, there were thousands of stores and hundreds of distributors. Jiang Qi could count the number of people he knew on two hands, so he bumped into two acquaintances in one day.

"Boss Jiang." The publishing lady was also surprised to see Jiang Qi, "Have you made an appointment for a bus parking space on the 7th floor? Which room is it?"

Jiang Qi pointed at 701: "This is the room."

The publishing girl was even more surprised: "What a coincidence, I also made an appointment on this bus. I originally made an appointment for this afternoon's bus, but the afternoon bus was not fully occupied."

Jiang Qi thought what a coincidence, and asked: "Does your publisher also book buses from other publishers?"

"I'm not a serious publisher. We mainly run a script store. In addition to selling copies, we also need to buy copies when we come to the Autumn Exhibition. If we can't buy new copies at the Autumn Exhibition, won't we cut off the copies during the winter vacation?" the publishing girl said with a smile, "It's already 7 o'clock. Let's not talk outside. Let's talk inside."

The two of them entered the room together.

Room 701 is also an ordinary single room with a small area and no other compartments except the toilet. You can see how many people are in the room at a glance.

Jiang Qi saw another acquaintance at a glance.

An acquaintance that shocked him.

And this acquaintance was equally shocked when he saw Jiang Qi. The two people looked at each other, one eye dodges, the other pursues him.

Others in the room quickly noticed something was wrong between the two.

The distribution girl was stunned and secretly wondered if she could eat a huge melon.

The publishing lady thought so, and even felt a little excited in her heart.

It's great. After running a script store for so long, I can finally get my first taste of it on site.

Jiang Qi looked at the acquaintance sitting opposite him on the bed.

"coincidence."

"sister."
