Chapter 501: Must Apologize

5o1

Beijing, Bookstore Association.

Wang Weiguo performed again that he had performed countless scenes. He wiped his tears while accusing: "This is all caused by Su Qin. Su Qin should bear all the responsibility for this matter. We should ask a lawyer to sue him!"

The conference room was very quiet, and everyone lowered their heads and was speechless.

In recent times, physical bookstores have been getting worse day by day. Almost all large chain bookstores with strong bureaucracy are on the verge of bankruptcy, and those small bookstores are better, but everyone's life is not easy, and it is possible to close the door and close at any time!

Today, the Bookstore Association invited the heads of bookstores with a slightly larger scale nationwide to discuss future survival plans.

Wang Weiguo seized the opportunity again and made a tearful accusation!

Just when Wang Weiguo was excited, the president could no longer hold back and slapped the table: "Wang Weiguo, enough!"

Wang Weiguo was so scared that he shivered, raised his head and stared at the other party blankly.

"Did you treat us all like fools? Do you think we don't know who is responsible for this matter?"

The president roared angrily.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get the sales of "Bright Sword" of more than 5 million yuan? If it weren't for you, your Huaxia Bookstore would be on the verge of bankruptcy? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get the benefits of "Bright Sword" being named an excellent export book in the Empire?"

The president of the Bookstore Association stood up and pointed at Wang Weiguo with his finger, spraying out the anger accumulated in his heart for a while like a machine gun!

Wang Weiguo was still erect at first, but gradually lowered his head and his face turned pale.

There is no way, what the president said is true, and each one is inseparable from him.

After talking for a full ten minutes, the president then let out a long sigh and looked around: "Everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss countermeasures, to concentrate everyone's wisdom and think about future opportunities.

Wang Weiguo, half of the equity of Huaxia Bookstore belongs to your Wang family, so this is not the time to shirk responsibility. You should take some responsibility. Otherwise, if Huaxia Bookstore collapses, the biggest loser will be your Wang family, and your Wang Weiguo!"

Wang Weiguo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed faintly and lowered his head.

"Comrades, we missed the novel "Bright Sword". We have to admit that this is our mistake, but the mistake has already occurred. Blindly shirking responsibility and self-blame are not our choice at this moment. What we should all think about the most is what we should do next?"

But everyone is just silent.

This problem is too difficult and almost unsolvable. Otherwise, how could the bookstores in charge of everyone here face the risk of bankruptcy?

After a while, someone raised his head: "President, bookstore owners, let me say something. I think that if we bookstores want to survive, the most important and urgent thing is to gain the trust of all writers as soon as possible and let their works come to our bookstore for sale again."

No one had any objections to this point and nodded in favor.

There were almost all publishers or even joints behind the large chain bookstores of the empire. So in the past, when writers wanted to publish books, the publishers would press as much as possible for the publishers, and the chain bookstores would try to squeeze profits as much as possible, so writers complained.

But in the past, writers had no other choice but to grit their teeth and endure it. However, after Su Qin and the online sales platform jointly cultivated everyone's habit of buying books online, many writers contacted publishers in various places to publish, and then cooperated with online sales platforms themselves. In recent times, many physical chain bookstores have not been authorized by many writers. In this way, readers cannot buy the books they want, and of course they are not even more willing to buy these physical bookstores.

So, what the bookstore owner said just now is very critical.

After a moment of silence, someone answered: "The most important thing is that of saying a thousand words is Young Master Qin. As long as Young Master Qin agrees to hand over his book to us for sale, I believe other writers will follow suit! As far as I know, Young Master Qin is now in the hearts of a group of writers, and his status is terrible, almost a word of the word."

"That's true!"

"Yes, Young Master Qin is the key!"

Everyone nodded in agreement on this.

Another bookstore owner said: "And, I also heard that Mr. Qin has actually had a trick to bring back our bookstores?"

What?

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a while. After coming to their senses, they became excited.

"Really, Lao Wang, what you said is true?"

"When did Mr. Qin say such things? Why don't I know?"

"Have Young Master Qin really said that our physical bookstore still has room for survival?"

The boss nodded: "I have a friend who is a reporter. Once he went to interview Qin Shao and asked a question. He asked Qin Shao that the current physical bookstores have gone bankrupt in large quantities. Does this mean that there is no hope in physical bookstores? Qin Shao's answer is no. Qin Shao said that the bookstores are not without hope. On the contrary, physical bookstores still have vigorous vitality in the future. The reason why they are closed now can only show one problem. The current business model of bookstores should be reformed."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally, they all breathed a long sigh, and the stone that had been pressing on everyone's heart was finally half lighter.

"Since Mr. Qin said that, then our physical bookstore must have hope."

"Yes, as long as there is hope, everything will be easy!"

"This is the best news I have heard during this period!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

The meeting continues.

Finally, everyone made an unanimous decision. Wang Weiguo must apologize to Young Master Qin, and Wang Weiguo must pull Young Master Qin over.

"Wang Weiguo, this matter has happened because of you. If you want to crack it, you have to come forward. You must apologize to Mr. Qin." The president made the final decision.

"Yes, we must apologize first and obtain Mr. Qin's understanding!"

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"Wang Weiguo, I know this is difficult, but you must understand one more thing. If Young Master Qin cannot forgive you, he will not cooperate with us. If he does not cooperate with us, other writers will not cooperate with us. In that case, we will die, and your Wang family's Huaxia Bookstore will also die. If your Huaxia Bookstore goes bankrupt, Wang Weiguo, I think you must know more than any of us what this means. So, Wang Weiguo, apologize!"

Wang Weiguo almost cried: "I...I..."

He pushed Su Qin out of the past, and he also yelled in public more than once: "Don't think it's great to be a writer and become a star. In the face of a strong system, everything is a paper tiger! Even the Ministry of Culture can't do anything to us!"
