Chapter 148 The picture is cheap

Babaozhai, a well-known old restaurant in Beiping, is the top1 of all major review software, and you can find overwhelming Ruanguang, restaurant exploration and food reviews with just a search.

To some extent, the propagandist philosophy of the owner of this restaurant is a bit similar to that of Yan Huaiyou.

Don't care about other things for the time being, let's talk about the ads first.

Manager Xu had a lot of business there, and by the time Jiang Qi and the others took a taxi to the entrance of Babaozhai, Qin Can had already arrived.It was meal time, and Jiang Qi could smell the aroma of the food inside even standing at the door.

As a well-known old restaurant with mixed positive and negative reviews, but full of advertisements, Babaozhai's business is also good.After Jiang Qi went in with the waiter, he looked around and found that the first floor was basically full of seats, only a few tables with reservation signs were empty, and one of the tables was reserved by Yan Huaiyou.

Everyone is a foreigner. Although Qin Can went to university in Beiping, because of his major and wallet, none of the five most famous restaurants in Beiping - Babaozhai, Tongdeju, Ruyifang, Shunhelou and Yongheju However, if you want to talk about the relationship, you have eaten at the self-service barbecue restaurant opposite Yongheju.

Jiang Qi has never been to Peiping at all, store manager Xu has been here but his wallet is not allowed, Yan Huaiyou’s wallet is very allowed to eat in 5 restaurants, even the legendary first private restaurant in Beiping, Fenyuan, but that is all It happened when he was in elementary school and junior high school - at that time, Fenyuan was not as expensive as it is now.

On the recommendation of the waiter, Yan Huaiyou ordered roast duck, prawns in tomato sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, lettuce in oyster sauce and scallop soup with seasonal vegetables.

The duck used for the roast duck is a bit fat, but the skills of the roast duck master and the sliced ​​duck master are very good, which can be regarded as salvage.After returning to school on the National Day, Qin Can returned to the level of weight-loss food with steamed buns in his hands and no oil in the dishes. He wanted to eat a duck, but considering that he still wanted this life, Qin Can could only eat two bites.

In Jiang Qi's opinion, the prawns in tomato sauce tasted pretty good, and he is not a gourmet connoisseur who doesn't have high requirements for food taste.Sweet and sour, the prawns in tomato sauce wrapped in a nice tomato-colored sauce are basically a few mouthfuls, and soon a plate of prawns in tomato sauce is empty.

If there is anything wrong with it, it is that the sauce is a bit too thick, so thick that Jiang Qi can hardly taste the shrimp.

The same goes for the sweet and sour pork ribs, tasty but a little heavy on the sauce.

Lettuce in oyster sauce and scallop soup with seasonal vegetables are also good. In the end, the four of them wiped out all the dishes on the table after a meal. Qin Can, who came out to improve the meal, ate the same as he had just finished a work meal.

"The food at Babaozhai is delicious." Qin Can looked at the reviews on his mobile phone and said in a puzzled manner, "Why are there so many bad reviews in the reviews, and some people say that the ratings and good reviews of this restaurant are all bought. "

Yan Huaiyou silently showed Qin Can the bill.

The four-digit bill shocked Qin Can.

"Damn it." Qin Can couldn't help but swear, "It's so expensive."

Qin Can looked at the soup in the empty plate on the table again, and suddenly felt that today's meal was not so delicious.

Jiang Qi's first reaction after seeing the bill was, damn it, it's really profitable to open a restaurant.

Strange, how could his first reaction be this.

After dinner, Qin Can had to take the subway back to school.The door of her dormitory building is locked at 10 o'clock every night, and after the time, she can only climb over the wall to enter.

Although it is not a problem for dancers to climb over the wall, Qin Can adheres to the concept of never climbing over the wall if he can walk through the main entrance. After confirming the exhibition hotel with Jiang Qi, he went back.

The 17th is Friday. Qin Can has classes in the afternoon but no dance practice at night. She can come to the mixed exhibition on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday to help Jiang Qi find cheap and suitable boxed books.

"You really don't need store manager Xu to help you grab a bus space? There are a lot of big releases in this year's autumn exhibition. If you don't grab a bus space, you don't have the right of first refusal. I'm afraid it will be difficult to grab a good book from other stores. "Yan Huaiyou confirmed to Jiang Qi for the last time after returning.

He really hoped that Jiang Qi could find some good books at this autumn exhibition and go back.

Although the two stores are close to each other, there is no competition. On the contrary, Xinghe Script Agency, which has its own traffic and has developed many new customers, has brought many customers to CC.

"No need." Jiang Qi shook his head, "I didn't plan to buy city limits and exclusives. To be honest, the area of ​​our store is a bit small, the first floor is basically useless, and there are only 1 rooms on the second floor that can be opened. One of them was even made into a real scene."

"If I buy a batch of city limits and go back alone, I will have to change the room and put props. Not only the room is not enough, but the utility room may not be enough."

Yan Huaiyou heard another meaning from Jiang Qi's words: "Do you want to change the store?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Qi shook his head, "If there is a suitable shop in the alley, I might rent it and open a second shop."

Jiang Qi wanted to change the store, but the Horror Doll's House was almost two-star experience, Jiang Qi reckoned that it should be promoted to two-star in the next few days.

The difficulty of upgrading from 3-star to [-]-star will be several times higher, so don’t even think about changing shops in a short period of time. You can’t move the building card without upgrading to [-]-star.But now there is a real problem that there are not enough rooms in the store, so Jiang Qi has been thinking about renting a larger two-story store in the alley, and getting a few big ones to open a second store.

It's a pity that there are almost no shops in the alley that meet Jiang Qi's standards. Jiang Qi has asked the fruit shop owner and sister Hu to keep an eye out for him. If there is a suitable shop, he will be notified as soon as possible.
.
October 10th, sunny, the first day of the exhibition.

Jiang Qi woke up late and slept until ten o'clock in the morning.I went out to have some brunch casually, and it was already noon when Jiang Qi entered the exhibition hotel.

The lobby on the first floor has changed drastically.

If there were simply a lot of posters, publicity pictures and other advertisements in the lobby on the first floor yesterday, there are already many stalls in the lobby on the first floor today.

Really a stall.

Jiang Qi thought for a moment that he had come to a flea market held in elementary school.

All those who bought tickets for the exhibition can receive a small gift bag with the ticket code. Jiang Qi took one and found that it contained the complete issue booklet, a small badge for the autumn exhibition, several advertisements for popular books and a pack A napkin with the Autumn Exhibition logo printed on it.

There is a map in this booklet. Jiang Qi learned from the map that there are several banquet halls on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the hotel.

This year's autumn exhibition has hundreds of releases, countless new authors, thousands of stores and countless ordinary players to participate in the exhibition. The bus slots of big releases cannot be grabbed, and the bus slots of small releases are no one to grab.

Jiang Qi snatched the bus space at the 2nd store of "Horror. Doll's House" on the mini program yesterday, but he didn't have enough people. Only 6 of the 3 people were interested.

Jiang Qi’s WeChat was added to the release of this book, and he was told to notify him on WeChat once all the people are ready. At the same time, he sent a long list of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He can help spread the word along.

It can be said that the attitude is very good.

Jiang Qi walked around the stalls like an ordinary player.

There are quite a few ordinary players like him. On the first day, normal stores usually race against time to get on the bus, ob, and pick money, so they don't have time to fool around at all.At this time, the ones who set up a stall to promote are all small releases that can't make up the bus, and no one is interested in their own releases, and no one is willing to play, so naturally they have to come out and shout for publicity.

It costs a store to run an exhibition, and the distribution cost is even higher. If it is not sold, it will be a blood loss.

Jiang Qi bought a cup of milk tea and wandered around while looking at the posters of various books.He is not interested in playing with books, but mainly wants to see if there are any off-the-shelf boxed goods with good posters.

"Spiritual Ghost School III... This book seems to be very interesting." The three girls in front of Jiang Qi were attracted by the dark and spooky poster in front of them. The three of them knew at a glance that they were college students who had no classes to catch up with and would join in the fun. .

"Spiritual Ghost School III" was released by a girl with chestnut hair. Seeing that someone was interested in this poster, she smiled and said: "The three young ladies want to experience the new version produced by our studio? This is a series, but It doesn’t matter if you haven’t played the first two books. If the three ladies want to play, you can do it now, we already have three people here, room 908.”

"The three young ladies only need to write a few short comments for us after the experience. It would be even better if they can post to Moments to help us promote it."

The three female college students were really moved after hearing this, and one of the short-haired girls asked, "How long is this?"

"4~5 hours."

The three female college students agreed, and the chestnut-haired girl got up and was about to lead them to room 908, when Jiang Qi, who had been studying the leaflets of this hotel, spoke.

"Excuse me, can I go up with you and watch from the sidelines?"

The girl with chestnut hair said happily: "Of course."

Jiang Qi grabbed a leaflet and took the elevator upstairs with them.

908 is an ordinary single room with a small space. Players can only sit on the bed, on the carpet or on a chair to read books. Players watching, such as Jiang Qi, theoretically can only stand without a chair.

But because he was the only passer-by who came to watch, the two publishers and one author of this studio attached great importance to him, and specially got him a chair so that he could sit and watch.

The one who opened the book was a girl with chestnut hair. The three people in this studio are all girls. A group of people just surrounded the bed, using the bed as a table, and started playing with the book with A4 paper clipped.

Jiang Qi just watched for more than two hours.

One thing to say, this one is quite general.It's a story about the killing of evil spirits caused by school bullying, which is very old-fashioned. It is estimated that it will score a maximum of 5 points when it is made into a horror film.It's not a bad book, but it's not a good book either. At best, it's an ordinary horror book with a good name.

Horror needs atmosphere. In such a small room, apart from being able to draw the curtains, turn off the lights and adjust the light to achieve a terrifying atmosphere, it is difficult for people to watch around and create effects with sound, let alone such a large space. .

The six people in the room haven't finished playing yet, but Jiang Qi has already guessed the outline of the story of the book, and through the A4 paper in the hands of one of the players, he roughly understands the author's writing and description techniques.

Jiang Qi felt that he understood almost everything, so he got up and prepared to call another issuer in the room out to discuss the price.

Just as he got up, another issue also noticed, thinking he wanted to leave, and took the initiative to follow him out.

Before Jiang Qi could speak, the girl spoke first: "What do you think of our book?"

"It's okay." Jiang Qi said.

"Then little brother, can you help us spread the word on Moments, and I'll add you on WeChat and send you the poster picture." The release said enthusiastically.

"Do you have to post on Moments?" Jiang Qi was a little embarrassed, he never posted on Moments for ten thousand years.

The release was a bit disappointing, but ordinary people who came to the exhibition to join in the excitement could not be forced to help with publicity, smiled reluctantly, and wanted to persuade, so Jiang Qi continued.

"Can't you buy it directly? Your "Spiritual Ghost School III" may not be in stock, but do you have the first two in stock?"

issued:?
From the very beginning, what attracted Jiang Qi was not the poster of Ben, but the leaflets on the stall of Ben.

Although this publisher is a small publisher whose name has never been heard of, it has published quite a few books.

As far as "Spiritual Ghost School I and II" and "Girls' Haunted House I and II" are printed on the leaflets, there are four copies.

The price is also very cheap.

Jiang Qi wandered around for so long before, what he was looking for was this kind of small issue that was packaged and sold cheaply.

Issue didn't respond.

"I read on your flyer that the exhibition price of "Spiritual Ghost School III" has been reduced by 100 to 398, and the other 4 books are also discounted, with a minimum of 199. If you buy all of them, you will get an extra copy. What is the gift?" ah?"

"Legend of Huadu, the first book published by our studio, was not printed because it couldn't fit in the leaflet." The publisher blurted out.

"What's the package price for all 5 books?"

The release immediately took out the mobile phone and started to press the calculator: "1394 yuan."

The 6 books cost 1394 yuan. On average, each book costs more than 200 yuan, which is almost the same price as the second-hand books Jiang Bing bought.

"Are you the store owner?" Miss Distribution finally came to her senses.

Jiang Qi: ...

Why does he feel that this girl is less professional than him.

Added WeChat to each other, confirmed the address, and after Jiang Qi paid the payment readily, he chatted with this unprofessional distribution lady for a while, and found that they were really unprofessional.

Like Jiang Qi, they are running the exhibition for the first time.

These three are partners in opening a script killing shop. They have published so many books because they like to write books. The previous books were sold on online platforms, and the sales volume was mediocre. With so many books, they sold more than 100 copies in total.

They have never been to the exhibition, one is because they can't afford it, and the other is that they themselves feel that the quality of the previous exhibition is very mediocre, and it is useless to run.

This time they will choose to come to the autumn exhibition, one is because they feel that they have finally written a book of acceptable quality, and the other is because the store has made money this year, so they have money to go to the exhibition.

The first time I went to the exhibition, I sold 1 books and gave away 1 copy on the first day. I feel that I am complete, and this exhibition will not be lost.

Jiang Qi: ...

It's amazing.

It can only be said that there are all kinds of releases in the autumn exhibition, and these three are obviously taking the funny route.

Miss Publishing enthusiastically sent Jiang Qi all the way downstairs before going back. Seeing her so happy, the author who wrote the book asked in a low voice, "Just now that little brother agreed to help us promote it? Why did you take so long? "

"No." Miss Publishing couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, "He's a shopkeeper, not a passer-by, and he bought all the books we published!"

"Damn it." The author was startled, "When he receives the goods, he won't think that the book is too bad to trouble us, right?"

Miss Publisher: ...

Miss Chuan thought about it for a while, and felt that Jiang Qi only cared about the price and not the quality, and said, "Probably not."

"I think he just bought our book for cheap."

"He also asked me if I knew any Hondas with big discounts. I felt that he was here to scan the goods."
