Chapter 326 Qingdao Comic Book Store Opens
On a sunny day, two young people were having a lively conversation on a busy street.
Xiao Li, who has neat short hair and is wearing a plaid shirt, excitedly pulls his friend Xiao Dong beside him.
"Hey Dong, did you know? The Qingdao comic book store has opened, right next to the Xinhua Bookstore we often go to!"
Xiaodong was slightly startled, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "Qingdao Comic Book Store?
It sounds quite interesting. Does it specialize in selling comic books published by Qingdao Publishing House?"
"Of course not. The name of the store is 'Qingdao'! You can buy any comic book published by Qingdao Publishing House there."
The name of the store was given by Jiang Weimin. "Qingdao" sounds nice and is easy to remember.
"Really? Does this Qingdao store also sell previously published comic books? I collected some before, but I'm still missing a few. I've always wanted to collect them all."
"Of course I'm selling it! Look what this is?" Xiao Li said, and like a magic trick, he took out a book from his bag.
Xiaodong took a closer look and said, "Is this the Monkey King? Why is it so thick?"
On the cover of the comic book, the Monkey King was wearing a golden chain mail and a phoenix-wing purple gold crown.
Holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, he stood majestically in the clouds, with an unruly and heroic look in his eyes.
"Yes, this is the new collector's edition of The Monkey King, which contains the contents of five volumes of the regular edition.
If I wasn’t short of money recently and my pocket money was almost all gone, I would have bought the entire collector’s edition!”
"Collector's edition? Are there any single comic books for sale? I still want to buy the ones I'm missing first. I think a complete set would be more meaningful."
“Yes, there are also single copies. But, to be honest, the collector’s edition is more cost-effective.
Buy a collector's edition for the price of three. "
Xiaodong shook his head firmly and said, "But I still want to finish the comic books I'm missing first.
Each of them holds special memories for me, just like the missing pieces in a puzzle that only become complete when they are filled in.”
"That's not a big deal. I tell you, as long as you have money in your pocket, there is nothing you can't buy in this Qingdao store!"
"Can I buy everything? Is it really that exaggerated?" Xiaodong was skeptical, with doubt written all over his face.
"Of course! Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala? The super cool mecha displayed at the gala can be bought in the Qingdao store!"
"Is it true? Can everyone buy it?" Xiaodong widened his eyes in surprise, and the cool mecha on the Spring Festival Gala stage appeared in his mind.
"Everyone can buy it, but not everyone can afford it!"
"What do you mean? You're talking so confusingly that I'm confused."
"It's just too expensive! The smaller mecha model costs 88 yuan, and the larger one costs 188 yuan!
This price is not something that most people can afford. If I want to sell it, my dad will beat me half to death."
"It's so expensive! It's almost as much as my dad's two-month salary."
"Let's go to Xinhua Bookstore. I'll take you to see it with your own eyes! Seeing is believing."
Xiao Li was very excited and pulled Xiao Dong towards the bookstore.
After a while, the two arrived at the Qingdao Comic Bookstore next to the Xinhua Bookstore.
Before I even walked into the store, I heard noisy voices inside.
As soon as I entered the store, I saw that it was already packed with people.
Fortunately, the store is designed to be spacious and elegant, the shelves are arranged reasonably, and the aisles are wide enough, otherwise with so many people crowded together, it would be impossible to operate normally.
Xiaodong and Xiaoli carefully moved through the crowd and walked slowly.
Xiaodong discovered that almost every comic book serial in the store has its own exclusive area, whether it is a single volume or a collector's edition, there is everything, which is dazzling.
The layout of the special area is also very thoughtful, with corresponding elements decorated according to different comic strip themes.
"Look there, that's Wang Tieshan's big knife!" Xiaodong was sharp-eyed and suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.
I saw an imitation broadsword placed in a conspicuous position. The blade was flashing with cold light, and the red tassel on the handle was fluttering gently in the wind.
"I saw it when I first came here. Look at that place where there are people gathered over there. Do you know what that is?"
"What? Tell me now!"
"That's Wang Tieshan's magical weapon that travels through time and space!"
Xiao Li and Xiao Dong squeezed in, and saw a glass product that looked mysterious and gorgeous under the light.
This glass product has a unique shape and emits a hazy light, as if it contains endless power.
It makes people unable to take their eyes away, as if they are deeply attracted to it.
Anyone who has read the comic book Wang Tieshan's Dream of the Past knows that this is a magical artifact in the story, carrying the key plot of Wang Tieshan's travel through time and space.
Whether something is good or not depends largely on the value people give it.
But people who don’t understand it will probably just think it’s an ordinary piece of glass.
"Do you think Wang Tieshan is in there now?" Xiaodong asked suddenly, his imagination bursting.
"That's impossible to say!"
"Then, if Wang Tieshan is in there, who is he fighting with now?" Xiaodong asked again, with all kinds of fierce battle scenes emerging in his mind.
"According to the progress of the comic strip, he must be fighting Lu Bu now.
Two powerful generals, one is a modern sword master, the other is an ancient war god, just thinking about it makes me excited!"
"Can the Sword Saint King Tieshan defeat Lu Bu?"
"Needless to say, Wang Tieshan is a modern swordsman with great martial arts skills!
He has modern fighting skills and a strong will, and he might be able to defeat Lu Bu badly."
After viewing the artifact, the two continued to wander around the store.
After a while, I saw a man leading a few people towards the cashier counter, each of them holding a pile of toy models in their arms.
If you look closely, you can see characters from The Monkey King, characters from Dragon Ball, and the latest version of mechas shown on the Spring Festival Gala.
"This guy is really rich. To buy so many, it must cost him nearly 1000 yuan!"
Xiaodong couldn't help but be amazed, his eyes full of envy.
The young man who was frantically "buying, buying, buying" at the moment was so excited. His family was one of the first to go into business and made a lot of money early on.
In the past, these metal toys were generally not available in China. Most of them were exported first to earn foreign exchange. Only Friendship Stores would occasionally sell a few models, and the prices were ridiculously high. Most importantly, you had to have foreign exchange coupons to buy them.
His dream of collecting a complete set of mechanical toys was finally realized.
If Jiang Weimin knew about this, he would definitely tell him that it is still too early to collect a complete set, as there are more toys waiting to be released later!
Xiaodong walked briskly, holding two books tightly in his arms, his face filled with unconcealable joy.
These two books are exactly the "treasures" he has been looking for for a long time to fill the gap in his comic book collection.
Before this, Xiaodong had gone to all the bookstores in the city to find these two comic books, but he returned disappointed every time.
At this moment, Xiaodong was walking on his way home, feeling full of emotion. The emergence of Qingdao Comic Book Store made Xiaodong feel a long-lost sense of belonging.
In this way, under this hot sales scene and orders flying in like snowflakes,
Qingdao garment factories cooperate with supply and marketing cooperatives to open clothing stores, bringing fashionable and high-quality clothing to major cities across the country.
It also teamed up with Xinhua Bookstore to open the Qingdao Comic Book Store, providing an exclusive treasure trove for comic book lovers.
Based on the existing channels of supply and marketing cooperatives and Xinhua Bookstore, they jointly opened exclusive stores across the country.
