Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 989 Another Event

Kane is standing at the door of his bookstore. At the request of the citizens, he has expanded the bookstore in the Cupertino area by half. The current store is much more grand than two years ago.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was the least crowded time at one o'clock, but the bookstore was not idle, and there were still many people sitting around and reading new books.

Because today is the day when pz's new book is released.

He just experienced a wave of busy time in the morning, but fortunately there are enough employees in the store now, otherwise he alone would not be able to maintain order.

Mayor Cameron also brought government officials to help, but it was more of a disservice. Everyone had to say hello to Cameron, which greatly affected the order.

As the first city to set a memorial day for Zhang Zhong, Cupertino is very famous among Zhang Zhong's fans.

This small city with only more than 6 people has become a characteristic tourist city. In recent years, many people will come to settle here.

Of course, Cupertino is not only famous, but also has many privileges. They can be the first to get new books every time, and they can get more.

Usually this privilege doesn't show anything, but this time the collector's edition is revealed.

Only 30 copies of the collector's edition were printed in the United States, but bookstores in the Cupertino area got [-] copies.

The population of Cupertino is only [-]/[-] of that of the United States, but the share it gets is [-]/[-]th, which means that the average share of each person in Cupertino is at least [-]/[-]th of that of people in other places. A hundred times.

But even so, the [-] sets of collector's editions were not enough to sell, and the bookstore was sold out before closing last night.

Many people who came a little later could only stand at the door beating their chests and stamping their feet.

The reason why it sold out so quickly is because there are many loyal fans of Zhang Zhong in Cupertino.

The local residents' affection for Zhang Zhong is not as simple as the reader's for the author. It can be said that Zhang Zhong has become a very important part of their lives.

For example, just today, no matter which direction you enter the urban area of ​​Cupertino, you will definitely see a big banner. The words on it are not "Welcome to Cupertino", but It is the message that Zhang republished a new book.

There are many things related to pz in the city, not to mention bookstores and libraries, and some restaurants and coffee shops will also display a group photo of the boss and Zhang Zhong.

Find a school in the community, whether it is a middle school or a university, it is possible to hear students talking about pz, at least in this city, the probability of talking about pz is far higher than talking about other writers.

When the movie adapted from pz's novel was released, it was very lively. People flocked to the cinema one by one, just to support pz.

The word pz has become a cultural symbol of the city.

So for such a city, [-] sets of collector's editions are really a bit small.

And this is only on the one hand, on the other hand, because Cupertino is so famous, many people from other places will specially come here to feel the breath here.

In the past two days, new books have been released, and this situation is naturally more.

These people don't come here just to read, they also go to the bookstore to buy books, which takes up the share of the locals in Cupertino.

There are also some people who live not far from Cupertino and expected that the collector's edition will be difficult to buy, so they came here in advance to buy the collector's edition.

For this matter, Kane was also complained by many local residents, saying that he should not sell books to outsiders, obviously they are not enough locals.

Kane was wronged by the complaints. Although his bookstore is called the Cupertino area bookstore, it doesn’t mean that his bookstore can only serve local people. If others come to buy books, can he drive them out?
Moreover, although the city of Cupertino is relatively small and the population is relatively small, there are still tens of thousands of people, and now many people have immigrated here, even more.

It is impossible for Kane to keep so many people in his mind.

Otherwise, they can only ask them to show their identification.

Before the collector's edition, people still welcomed outsiders to come here to play, because there was never a need to consider the lack of books.

Moreover, the coming of outsiders is not only lively, but also drives the local economy.

Compared to a few years ago, the urban area of ​​Cupertino is much more prosperous than before, and many new stores are supported by these outsiders.

Others told Kane to contact the publishing company and ask if they could be allowed to buy more books.

But Kane was embarrassed. After all, they got a share of [-] sets in Cupertino with tens of thousands of people, which is already very preferential treatment.

"Helen, I'm going out for a while, just call me if you have anything to do." Kane said something to the front desk, and then opened the door and went out.

Mayor Cameron told him in the morning that he had something to discuss with him, and asked him to go to the city government office in the afternoon, and it seemed that the time was almost up.

When he arrived at Cameron's office, Cameron was talking to the deputy mayor.

Seeing them talking about things, Kane said, "Since you are busy, I'll wait for you outside."

Cameron waved his hand and said, "Kane, don't rush out, what I told Jones has something to do with you."

Kane looked puzzled, "Is it related to me? What is it?"

Cameron pointed to the sofa and signaled Kane to sit down. After Kane sat down, he said, "I'm discussing with Jones whether to use a mid-year commemoration."

"What mid-year commemoration? Commemorate what?" Kane asked.

Cameron laughed, "Of course it's to commemorate pz."

Kane thought for a while and said, "Isn't it bad if things like anniversaries are done too often? People will find it annoying."

"It's not a memorial day, Mr. Kane." The deputy mayor Jones, who was sitting on the side, said, "It's just an extension of the November [-]th anniversary, and it's not fixed. The reason why Mr. Cameron made this suggestion is that It's because pz just released a collector's edition this time, which is very commemorative. More importantly..."

Having said that, Jones made a fool of himself, and Kane hurriedly asked, "What's more important?"

Cameron took over the conversation and said, "More importantly, after this event, pz's personal single-day book sales will definitely reach a new height, and it may be a very scary height. I guess with Jones, This time pz themselves will also celebrate. Of course, regardless of whether pz celebrate themselves or not, I think we can celebrate this event, and I think the citizens should be very happy."
