By the middle of 1998, there were 352 bookstores in American universities alone; It has 450 community bookstores; As for the number of commercial bookstores in various major cities, the number is as high as thousands, which is worthy of the name of the first bookstore in the United States today.
On August 3, when its main stores opened, a large number of customers came to buy books.
"Do you have Harry Potter books?"
A 20-year-old young man asked the bookstore guide.
"Yes, there it is."
Shopping guide should and a, then point to the bookstore entrance of the most prominent position of the large recommended shelf.

There are thousands of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone books on the large recommendation shelf.
"Wow, that's a lot." The 20-year-old exclaimed.
Many of the customers who entered the bookstore in turn came for Harry Potter books.
They are paying for it.
"This place is really conspicuous. You can see it as soon as you enter the hall." A middle-aged man sighed.
"Of course."
"Don't forget, it's a book that Dylan himself wrote and recommended," echoed an old woman in her 50s
Another girl said with a smile, "if you can put it on a large recommended bookshelf, I don't know. Jin Shuguang publishing house must have spent a lot of money."
In fact, it is.
Barnes & Noble bookstore, as the largest physical chain bookstore in the United States, has numerous publishers competing for its main bookshelves every day. Of course, Jin Shuguang Publishing House paid a great price to win the main recommended position.
"Give me a copy of Harry Potter."
"It's said that Dylan likes it very much, so I'll buy one as well."
"Well, I just watched it for a while and thought it was really good."
Around the customers who buy books, there are many people talking about it. Of course, as time goes by, more and more people come to buy Harry Potter.
In just one hour, the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Los Angeles highland shopping mall alone sold 370 Harry Potter books.
This sales figure is absolutely not low!
You know, in 1993, after the Jurassic Park movie was released, its novel of the same name was on sale for the second time. Of course, it was also arranged in the main recommendation position of Barnes & Noble bookstore. In Los Angeles highland shopping mall Barnes & Noble bookstore, its one hour sales volume is only 420 copies.
That's right. The first Harry Potter movie is currently selling less than Jurassic Park.
But, don't forget, this is the sales of the Harry Potter movie when it's not on.
.......
The capital of Oregon, Poland.
At the gate of Powell bookstore, there are dozens of people queuing up to buy Harry Potter.
A lot of people start complaining!
"Damn Powell bookstore, they didn't have enough Harry Potter!"
"Yes, I never thought that as Oregon's largest bookstore, Powell could ignore Dylan's influence."
"Man, I just learned that Demi Moore, the boss of Powell bookstore, is Dylan's nemesis. How can he prepare enough Harry Potter?"
"It turns out that's true, but I believe that no capitalist can get along with money."
In fact, they guessed right!
The manager of polote branch of Powell book city is calling his boss right now.
"Boss, we are not fully prepared for Harry Potter books. All the 500 books we prepared were sold out in less than 2 hours. Now there are more than 70 people waiting in line outside the bookstore."
The manager was sweating.
My boss and Dylan are enemies, so I didn't prepare so many Harry Potter books in advance.
Of course, there is no lack of trying to please their own boss.
"You fool
On the phone, Demi Moore, the boss of Powell bookstore, scolded: "Dylan and I are enemies, that's right, but we don't hate money. Why don't you prepare more? Why do you call me now? Call the press
"Yes, yes," the manager said.
"What are you doing? Go to solve it quickly. If you can't solve it, you'll resign and leave, idiot There was another roar on the phone.
.......
Jin Shuguang publishing group.
At the moment, people in the operation Department of the publishing group are very busy, constantly listening to calls from all over the United States.
"Barnes & Noble's three Auckland stores need 2000 copies of Harry Potter, right? But I'm sorry, we don't have that much stock now. It's already the limit to provide 1500 copies today. "
"Sparrow bookstore, you need 1200 copies. No, no, not so many. I can only give you 800 copies. Yes, we are old friends. But it's hard for me to do it now. You have to be considerate, man."
"White diamond bookstore, 900 copies."
"Search the library, 2000 copies."
"Snow White and Prince's house, 1400 copies, coming soon!"
...
In just one day, "Harry Potter" first printed 500000 books, all sold out.
When Zhuke saw the report, he immediately said, "Alexander, tell the publisher Ms. Hassan to print and distribute Harry Potter with all her strength. In a week, give me enough strength to start work, and take out at least 2 million copies."
"Er... Boss, can there be too many?" Alexander hesitated.
His hesitation is reasonable. The reason why he sold 500000 books on the first day was due to Dylan's influence, not the quality of Harry Potter itself.
According to Alexander, jobs alone bought 5000 copies of Harry Potter at one time.
Don't ask why!
Because jobs is Dylan's loyal little fan!
Jobs would never have bought a Harry Potter book if Dylan hadn't written a preface to Harry Potter and personally recommended it.
"Boss, after all, our" Harry Potter "has not begun to film and television, tomorrow's sales will decline, more than 200 copies." Alexander said in a deep voice.
To his words, tenant is indifferent smile.
His subordinates questioned Zhuke's decision, which was the privilege given by Zhuke to Alexander, because Zhuke himself was inadequate and needed others to make up for it.
Of course, if Zhuke decides, there is only one way to go.
"Go. Don't underestimate our "Harry Potter", let alone 2 million copies. Do you believe that after the movie is released, it will sell tens of millions of copies! " Chuckling.
â.......â
Alexander naturally did not believe it, but he was still shocked by it.
Can Harry Potter sell tens of millions of copies?
Really?
As a matter of fact, by 2020, 390 million copies of Harry Potter books have been sold worldwide, second only to the Maoyu and the Bible.
Of course, it is mainly because of the film and television and the operation of Time Warner!
In the original history of time and space, Harry Potter was first published by a small publishing house in the UK, and the effect was not very good.
In three months, less than 1000 copies were sold.
However, as Time Warner entered the market, it sold 3.9 million copies around the world in less than 40 days.
The advantages of media group are obvious!
Even though Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group is far inferior to Time Warner Group, under the cultivation of Zhuke, other places dare not say that Zhuke dares to compete with Time Warner in the book distribution market only in the United States.
"The first watch" is presented.
