Not far from the major bookstores.
A group of young people squatted there. Some of them specially hired people to buy it, waiting for the old people to buy it from the bookstore, and some were waiting for the old people to come out and buy it at a high price.
In this world, not only young people would be scalpers, but there were also many old people who would be scalpers.
Some people who didn't know what was going on were very surprised to see so many old people waiting in line when passing by the bookstore.
"What are they doing?"
"Did the sun rise from the west? Why are these old people queuing up in front of the bookstore?"
"Oh my god, so many people are waiting in line?"
"Except for buying cheap eggs, I've never seen such a long line for the old people. I've really learned something today."
People passing by laughed and joked.
After all.
This kind of thing was really rare for them.
Here, because of the popularity of the topic on Weibo, countless people on the Internet were talking about it, which led to the climax of all kinds of media people. Whether they relied on media to make money or hoped to gain more attention on the Internet, they all came to the bookstores in their respective cities an hour before the official sale of Fang Qiu's new book. They began to take photos, videos, and so on. The purpose was to take this opportunity to gain more attention.
Soon.
A large number of bookstore videos emerged on TikTok, which had become so popular that it was almost popular among the people. Some videos were of the long line of old people outside the bookstore, and some were of the inside of the bookstore preparing for the sale.
On the Internet, many people were paying attention to these news.
Almost every short video on TikTok would receive tens of thousands of likes in a very short period of time. Some of the better ones even had hundreds of thousands or millions of likes.
With such a terrifying number of likes, more people from the media joined in one after another.
At nine o 'clock in the morning.
All the bookstores in cities all over the country opened at the same time.
Fang Qiu's new book, The Classic of Preventive Diseases, was officially on sale!
Although there was a long line.
However, in order to save as much time as possible and not willing to wait too long, some old people rushed into the bookstore regardless of whether there was a queue or not. They didn't care about the gazes and questions of those who were waiting in line and directly took out their ID cards to buy.
In the face of this situation, the staff of the bookstore immediately stood up to maintain order.
However, a rat's droppings spoiled a pot of soup.
When one person did this, the others immediately became unhappy. They all rushed forward and squeezed each other to fight for it.
Coincidentally, this scene was captured by some media people and uploaded to the TikTok short videos.
Once the video was uploaded.
Immediately, in a very short period of time, he received millions of likes.
He opened the comments and saw that they were all ridiculing him.
"Obviously, it's not the old who have become bad, but the bad who have become old."
"Is this the quality of Huaxia?"
"Profit-Driven behavior exists in every country in the world, but this situation is the most serious in China!"
"It's just a book. Is there a need to go this far? It's not like we won't sell them in the future. If this batch is sold out, the publisher will definitely print more to sell. It's not like it's a limited edition. "
…
However …
There were bad things, but there were also good things.
The old people rushed into the bookstore and caused a ruckus, but it only happened in a few places. In most of the bookstores in other areas, the old people still very orderly queued up to buy.
Different from those places that caused trouble, although the orderly places seemed to have a calm atmosphere of buying, when the camera swept out, the long line had formed several S-shaped at the door of the bookstore, which was very shocking at first glance.
All kinds of videos and news from the media were sought after by the general public on the Internet. The formal media from all over the country also scrambled to report it, and some even directly did a live broadcast.
Without a doubt.
On this day, Fang Qiu's new book "The Classic of Preventive Diseases" was absolutely the most popular, which was beyond the reach of any topic.
With the popularity of Fang Qiu's new book in China.
Some foreign media also noticed the situation in Huaxia. While surprised that a book had caused such a big craze, foreign media also began to report.
"Chinese Medicine Fang Qiu's new book has caused a rush in Huaxia. It is said that this is his second book about Chinese Medicine."
"The victory of Chinese Medicine Fang Qiu. Chinese Medicine Fang Qiu's new book has set off the publishing industry in Huaxia."
"The release of a world-class Chinese Medicine master Fang Qiu's new book has caused a crazy rush in Huaxia. This is the largest rush in history only for the old people."
…
In the capital.
There was also a long line outside the famous bookstore.
In the front of this long line, there was a very old man in the third place, waiting for the opportunity to enter the bookstore to buy new books.
At the door of the bookstore, a group of media people gathered, all taking pictures with their mobile phones.
Originally, no one thought there was any problem.
However.
Just when the third old man walked in and directly took out money to buy the book.
The staff of the bookstore had already picked up the packaged books. When they were ready to collect the money to complete the transaction, they suddenly froze and said, "Sir, can I see your ID card?"
As soon as the words came out.
The old man, who had already handed out the money, suddenly looked stunned and did not speak for a long time. He kept shaking his head and urging, indicating that his face was his ID card and there was no need to see it. Besides, he did not bring it with him.
"I'm sorry, because this time we are selling to the people over 50 years old. Although you do look old, we still need to confirm and register. Please forgive us."
The staff said and then added, "If you don't have ID card registration, we can't sell the book to you."
Hearing that.
The man's face changed. Under the urging of the people behind him, he hesitantly took out an ID card from his trouser pocket. When he was about to put two red notes behind the ID card and hand it to the bookstore staff, the ID card in his hand was grabbed by the people behind him and directly handed to the bookstore staff.
"Ah?"
The staff took a look at the ID card and suddenly widened his eyes. He asked dumbfoundedly, "28 years old?"
A wry smile emerged on the faces of the people who were waiting to buy the book.
"I look so old. What will happen if you sell it to me? Why do you need to check my ID card?"
The mature-looking young man said with a bitter expression.
"I'm sorry, sir."
The bookstore staff repeatedly confirmed several times before saying, "Your age does not meet the requirements. We can't sell the book to you. Please forgive us."
"Don't."
The young man immediately cried, "I've been waiting in line for so long, and I'm only in my twenties. I'm already so old. Who's more qualified than me to buy this book? Can you sell it to me?"
"I'm really sorry."
The staff shook his head with a wry smile and returned the ID card to the young man.
Helplessly.
The young man could only step aside with a miserable and helpless look.
"Little brother."
Seeing the painful and helpless expression on the young man's face, an old man who had just finished buying the book shouted. Then, he walked up and said, "I see that you really need this book. How about this, you give me a price and I'll sell this book to you. What do you think?"
"Really?"
The young man was surprised when he heard that.
"Of course."
The old man said with a smile.
"Old man, may I ask how old you are?"
The young man asked.
"70 years old."
The old man smiled proudly. He held up his face, which didn't look much different from the young man in his twenties. He patted the young man's shoulder and said, "That's why I'm willing to sell the book to you. One of us is 70 years old, and the other is in his twenties, but we both look like we're in our fifties. Young man, you're still young. You must take good care of your body. Take good care of yourself and strive to die behind me."
As soon as he said that, the young man suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was stunned.
And on the side.
The old people who were waiting in line were convulsing with laughter.
Outside the door, the people from the media happened to record the whole process.
Soon.
This was a very small episode, and it was uploaded to the Internet.
The matter was known by the netizens, and it was a live video.
Seeing this video, the netizens laughed even harder.
"Are you trying to make me die of laughter?"
"The old man is really awesome. Let's stop talking. I'm going to make some wolfberries."
…
Soon.
With the hot sales.
In less than an hour, the content fragments in the Classic of Preventive Diseases were quickly posted on the Internet, immediately attracting countless people to watch.
People who had long been curious about Fang Qiu's new book began to study these content fragments in detail.
Although it was just a fragment.
But after reading it, people found it particularly useful.
"This is the most easy-to-understand Chinese Medicine book I've ever read."
"It's so easy to understand, isn't it? Not only is it very detailed, but also very specific. You don't need to have a deep understanding of Chinese Medicine to understand it. You don't need to think about it. The content of this book has already directly told you what to do. This is too awesome, isn't it? "
"Although I'm not very interested in Chinese Medicine, after seeing the fragments of Fang Qiu's new book, I decided to buy a copy anyway. Even if I don't read it on weekdays, I can take it out to read when I'm sick. It's definitely very helpful."
"It's no exaggeration to say that this book is really a must-have medical book for all people."
…
And on the other side.
The old people and young people who had bought the book and lost did not even have time to go home. They began to gather in twos and threes to study it carefully.
A book made people immersed in it for more than two hours.
Some netizens who read very fast immediately began to post all kinds of exclamations on the Internet after reading it.
"I just finished reading Fang Qiu's Classic of Preventive Diseases from beginning to end. The only thing I realized is that if anyone in this world can live to 200 years old, I guess it's Fang Qiu. No, it's not a guess. It's definitely Fang Qiu! "
