"Young man, do you want to have a book to read?" Whenever someone comes to buy something, the boss will recommend it habitually.

Although most people will not be tempted to buy it, there are always some people who can't help but think about it after seeing the cover and then buy the book back.

This proportion is not large, even if it is only 10%, it is still a very huge number for bookstores with a traffic volume of more than a few hundred people per day. If each bookstore can sell at least dozens of books every day, and the total number of bookstores in Fusang is terrifying.

So the question is, why should the bookstore owner be so diligent and hard-working to recommend such a book? There are so many books in his bookstore, why does the boss recommend these lightweight books?

Did the boss think that the light-hearted ones looked very good after seeing these light-hearted ones and couldn't help but ask for human-like recommendations?

Of course not. The boss didn't read a word from beginning to end. He was not very interested in light. The reason why he worked tirelessly to recommend these things to everyone was of course for the benefit behind him.

An ordinary book is sold in a bookstore. According to convention, you can get a 20% profit, that is, a book priced at 1,000 yuan, and the purchase price is about 800 yuan.

The same is true for light purchases. The purchase price of a light purchase is 400 yuan. If you rely solely on sales profits, it is naturally impossible for the boss to promote light sales so hard.

But what if these light purchases are not expensive?

If these are light, you can get a subsidy of 99 yen for every purchase sold?

Do you remember the simple routine of Boss Jia selling his elf noodles in China?

At this time, the simple people of Fusang still insisted on paying for purchases and making profits by selling them. Once a bookstore enters the bookstore and cannot be sold, it will only be smashed into the bookstore's own hands.

Therefore, bookstores generally do not dare to buy too many books, so as to avoid huge losses. They will sell well again and again, and it will be a big hit if you can buy dozens of books.

However, the front-line salesman sent by the Electric Shock Library said that he could be sold directly in a bookstore for free, and the store owner did not need to pay a penny to purchase the purchase price. They would recycle these light products every once in a while. At that time, they only need to count how many copies sold in the store, and then check out directly with the store owner.

Of course, if the store owner sells all of them, just one phone call, and the front-line salesmen can restock the goods immediately and then give them money.

Anyway, the store owner will not lose any losses if he sells these lightly, so the boss will certainly be willing to put these lightly in the most conspicuous way.

But this is not enough to make the store owner turn into a salesman to sell. In addition to traditional profits, Boss Jia also took advantage of the routine of making a net profit of 99 yen for every copy sold.

How about it, does this routine look very familiar?

That’s how Didi and Kuaidi played back then, but now they are put on light sales by Boss Jia.

So, if a book worth 499 yuan is light, the store owner can earn a net profit of 199 yuan as long as he sells one book, and the profit is much greater than the others. Of course, the store owner is willing to help promote these.

Moreover, the salesman of the Electric Shock Library did not ask the store owner to sell hard, but only asked the store owner to sell casually when someone checked out, and didn't even have to praise how good the book was. He just needed to introduce the content of one sentence and then give the cover to young readers.

There is no misleading element and will not hurt the reputation of the bookstore at all, so the shop owners will naturally not refuse.

This routine looks simple, but the effect is quite obvious. It is difficult for young people to avoid temptation for novel things. In addition, the boss's hard selling, when the first day of closing, the 2000s that came into the boss's store had sold about 50 copies.

"50 books are 10,000 yen!" The bookstore owner's eyes were filled with a crescent moon. It would be amazing if a single-person bookstore like him could have a profit of 10,000 yen per day.

And the new Nintendo game that sold for one day today is only 20,000 yen in total.

Nintendo is definitely one of the most stingy gaming companies. The price of 4,999 yen is only 100 yen to the boss, which is not as much as a profit of 4,999 yen.

If it weren't for the large number of players in the world, the total sales volume of game cartridges was large, and the total profit was OK, the boss would have wanted to throw out these damn game cartridges.

"I'll play the game first!" The first boy who bought "Sword Art Online" and the first thing he did when he got home was naturally playing on GB with the newly bought game cartridge "Final Fantasy 5".

But after the young man was in high spirits for half an hour, his expression became a little unhappy. He felt a little unhappy about the ending of Final Fantasy 5. Later, he saw in the magazine that the GB version of Final Fantasy 5 may have more content on the ending.

This is the motivation that inspired him to spend 4999 to buy a BG version of Final Fantasy 5.

As it turns out, he thought too naively. The whole game is exactly the same as the FC version, without any changes or changes.

What's even more serious is that in terms of operation, the FC operation settings were actually continued, which led to the very complex operation on the handheld machine, which made the boy confused and his interest was almost consumed.

"Find something else!" The boy sighed. Now he is no longer interested in playing the game. He knows the whole story of the game anyway, and he has played the process several times, and he really has no motivation to speak of it.

So, the boy's eyes fell on the book he had just bought, called "Sword Art Online".

The boy opened the first page of the book

"Although this is a game,

But it's not a joke."

——"sao Sword Art Online" designer Akihiko Kashiba

…………

Ten hours later

The boy seemed unable to detect the changes in time and space, and he could not even feel hungry. He was hungry and called "Sword Art Online" until the sky completely dimmed, so that he could not read the words on the pages clearly.

The boy realized that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening and he didn't eat his lunch and dinner at all.

But this is not important. The boy's first reaction was to turn on the light immediately and then immerse himself in the world again until he finished reading the last page.

"What! It's gone!!" When the boy saw the protagonist Kirito successfully defeating the final boss, he was eager to see the follow-up story. When he saw the scene where Kirito and Asuna gathered in reality, he actually found out that it was gone.

"Grass! Out of context!" The boy wailed, looking at the "Sword Art Online" in his hand, his whole body was trembling with excitement.

The boy originally thought that his imagination was strong enough, but when he saw the game described in the Sword Art Realm, especially the game described in the Sword Art Realm, he found that his imagination was still too weak.

Humans can actually enter a world of consciousness composed entirely of dreams through brain waves and a helmet. This world of consciousness is also made into a game. When humans can conduct the most real adventures in another world in dreams, the boy was completely impressed.

He finished reading this book on his knees.

"The author of this must be a god, his imagination is so great!!" The young man exclaimed sincerely, and then suddenly thought of something. He couldn't wait to turn the title page to see who the author of this book was.

Author: Xibei Yapeng

Work together: the mountains and rivers

Illustration: Sibeyapeng

Character: Xibei Yapeng

"Sibeyapeng! It's really a strange surname. Does Fusang have this surname?" Seeing this name, the young man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that this should be the author's pseudonym.

What shocked the young man even more was that the author, illustrations and character design of the whole book were all handled by one person.
Chapter completed!
