Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 833 Isn't It Simple?
The day before the World Science Fiction Convention, Qin Zhao's new book "Mirror World" was officially released.

In order to cooperate with the publicity, Chen Qing arranged a two-hour signing event for Qin Zhao.

The signing event was arranged at the Renwang Exhibition Hall, which is where the World Science Fiction Fair will be held tomorrow.

In order to welcome the World Science Fiction Convention starting tomorrow, the Renwang Exhibition Hall is open to the public for free today.Because the World Science Fiction Convention is one day away, many members have already arrived in advance, and the Hope Exhibition Hall is also full of people.

It is also a benefit for the authors of the company to be able to hold a signing event at the Renwang Exhibition Hall at this time.

Before Lin De asked Jiang Yang if he could buy the English version of "Mirror World", Qin Zhao replied that he could not for the time being. I hope the bookstore in the exhibition hall can do it.

And not only the English version, there are "Mirror World" in all languages ​​in the Juwang Exhibition Hall.

The reason why a batch of foreign language versions of "Mirror World" was left in the bookstore in the Juwang Exhibition Hall was also to prepare for the upcoming World Science Fiction Convention.

At that time, many members from other countries will definitely come. This is a good opportunity to promote the new book.

Chen Qing only arranged a two-hour autograph session for Qin Zhao, and told him not to rush when asking him to sign.

After all, Qin Zhao is still so young, and the long signings have too much impact on his body.

……

While Qin Zhao was trying his best to help readers sign, Zhang Zhong took Lin De, Llorente, Feng He and others to sit in the rest area of ​​the Renwang Exhibition Hall and drink tea.

"The World Science Fiction Convention only starts tomorrow, but I didn't expect so many people to come today." Linde said with emotion.

He has participated in many World Science Fiction Conventions, but he has never been as lively as this one before.

Before the conference officially started, many people gathered inside and outside the Xunwang Exhibition Hall, many of whom were foreign faces.

Llorente nodded, "The opening day of the World Science Fiction Convention in Wellington last year was not so lively."

Feng He said with a smile, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Many people who came here today are not here for the World Science Fiction Convention. Some of them are for Qin Zhao's signing event, and some of them are for the free admission Playing in the exhibition hall. The exhibition hall usually requires more than 100 Huaxia currency tickets, and only on days like today will it be free."

Linde suddenly said, "What you said makes sense."

"I think pz, you should ask the World Science Fiction Convention for a little compensation, otherwise, wouldn't you lose a lot of ticket money these days?" Llorente laughed.

"You make a lot of sense. I'll mention it to the conference later."

Linde said, "If you want to pay for your tickets, it is estimated that the membership fees collected by this year's World Science Fiction Convention may not be enough."

"This year should be enough. According to the official website, tens of thousands of people have paid for the tickets for the conference this year." Llorente said.

"Well, it's almost enough. The ticket price for the six-day exhibition hall is about 700 yuan, and the ticket price for the general meeting is [-] or [-] yuan. On average, it should be a little more than the ticket price for the exhibition hall." Zhang Chong said with a smile, "However, if you really have to pay for the tickets, it is estimated that there will not be much left after the compensation, and the salaries of the remaining personnel may not be able to afford it."

"In this way, you can really make money."

Zhang Zhong glanced at Llorente, "You guys are starting again. My exhibition hall will lose money if it depends on the ticket price alone. Do you know how much this building costs to build? There are all kinds of things in it. How much does the plane cost? There are also water and electricity bills, personnel salaries... the income from tickets can only make ends meet."

He wasn't joking, it was true.

For a science and technology exhibition hall of this scale, the adult ticket only charges 128, which is not profitable at all.

If it weren't for the good traffic flow, let alone break even, I'm afraid I lost my pants during this period of time.

The investment in the science and technology exhibition hall is very large. The cost of building the building in the early stage is a big one, and the purchase of the aircraft in the later stage will also cost a lot of money.

Moreover, there are many high-tech experience items in the Juwang Exhibition Hall. In addition to the purchase of the machine itself, it also requires a lot of money for power consumption and maintenance.

The exhibition hall can make some money by relying on some peripheral consumption, and it doesn't make much money.

But for Zhang Zhong, as long as the exhibition hall does not lose money and can go on steadily without deficit, he is satisfied.

He couldn't expect this thing to make him money.

If you really want to make money, just pick a few books and sell them, it's better than this project.

……

After chatting for a while, Llorente suddenly touched his forehead and said. "Are we sitting in an inappropriate seat?"

Linde also nodded, "I think so too, it's a bit uncomfortable to talk like this."

Zhang Zhong looked at the reporters lined up outside the glass wall, and sprinted at them with his spear.

It's as if they are small animals locked in a glass enclosure for tourists to watch.

These reporters found that Zhang Zhong and the others were drinking tea here, and instead of going inside the exhibition hall, they just stuck outside the glass wall and watched them.

Zhang Zhong and the others were already mentally prepared for coming here today. Four well-known writers walked together swaggeringly, one could imagine how eye-catching they were.

"How about I temporarily arrange a book signing for you?" Zhang Chong said to Llorente with a smile.

Llorente rubbed his hands, "Shall we come together?"

"No, no, you're the only one here. Let's take a look." Zhang Zhong said, "If it doesn't work, you can tell the reporters to sign for them, or lure them away."

Linde agreed, "That's right, Daniel, please lure them away as soon as possible. This position is very good, and I don't really want to move it."

Llorente said with a smile: "It's not easy to lure them away, look at me."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then stuck the screen of the mobile phone to the glass to show to the reporters outside.

The reporters stretched their necks and pressed their faces against the glass wall, looking at Llorente's phone.

In just ten seconds, these reporters dispersed.

Linde asked in a daze, "How did you do it?"

Zhang Zhong asked, "What did you write on the phone?"

"Hey, let me show you." Llorente showed Zhang Zhong and the others the phone screen.

A few people stretched their heads to look, only to see a line of words typed in English on the screen: Come in quickly, they want to accept your interview.

Seeing this line of writing, Zhang Zhong got up and left without saying a word.

Lin De and Feng He also reacted quickly, and ran out after Zhang Zhong.A few of them are thin, more flexible, and they run fast.

The fattest Llorente stayed behind, holding the drink in his hand, and shouted, "Oh, wait for me, don't go, I haven't finished my drink yet."
