Chapter 2134

In the shopping area of ​​the bookstore, I went to see toys and decorations. There were small raw mineral stones, dozens of different types of mineral stones, placed in small transparent plastic boxes on the table.

The minerals were colorful, but all were quite small. Some of the raw crystals had no price tag, and some of the products might cost several hundred yuan, which was not lower than the price of similar products in some jewelry stores.

The store has paper puzzle models, third-party printed models, dolls, educational jigsaw puzzles, etc.

Look at the spliced ​​models, there are the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, the Eiffel Tower, as well as buildings from animated stories and the League of Legends Justice League.

Some paper models have small mini colored lights that can be assembled into the paper models as decorations. Looking at the price tags of those products, some are priced as high as nearly 200 yuan. Even similar products with paper stickers with the words "special offer" on them cost 60 or 70 yuan, and that's paper models without colored lights. Products with small decorations like mini colored lights are much more expensive, but the basic structure of the models is similar.

Some paper models can be assembled into patterns of buildings, portraits, paintings, flowers, and small animals. There are many styles to choose from, and there are many products on display. There are hundreds of paper models in stock alone. Customers have different aesthetics, and there are always some who think the products are good.

There is a bag on the shelf. It may be sold for twenty or thirty yuan in other places, but it costs seventy-nine yuan in that place. There are also many in stock. It doesn’t look good, but other people think it is beautiful and good, so they may buy it.

I saw a keychain made of fox fur, 38 yuan each, with two styles, pure white and gray, which is a cute and furry small commodity. The keychain in the shape of a little fox is about the size of a palm. Looking at the shape and price, I am interested. I think the price of such a commodity is moderate. I will not buy it at the time, but take a look first and buy it later.

I saw a few boys looking at a globe. On the surface of the globe, there are longitudes and latitudes, and there are southern and northern hemispheres. The planets in the mortal world have seven continents and five oceans. The seven continents are Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America, North America, Antarctica, and Europe. The five oceans are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. On the globe, there are words marking more than 200 countries, and the amount of words is thousands. It can be used for viewing, rolling the globe, and learning and referring to geographical knowledge. Looking at the products, there are several models to choose from, and some products cost hundreds of yuan. There are not too big globes in the store, and the styles are just ordinary. Similar products in the online mall have built-in lights, magnetic levitation, no need for a shaft, can be lifted up by strong magnetic force, automatically rotate slowly, and have intelligent pronunciation, telling geographical names and related introductions. Some new products are more affordable in the online mall, and some cost thousands of yuan. Depending on the cost and function of the product, the price varies greatly. The store also sells leather balls, and some people come just to look at the goods out of curiosity.

There was a woman with her child looking at cute toys, and there were also customers choosing stationery. Ordinary stationery cost a few yuan or ten yuan, which was considered affordable in the store, unlike some toys and models that were expensive.

Even though the prices of some of the goods in that store are quite high, there were hundreds of people shopping on the first floor for a period of time that day. Many of them were families with their children. The children would buy whatever they wanted, as long as the price was right. Some parents would spend a little more and think it was okay to do so. They did not have to compare prices or save money by going to online malls or other physical stores to shop.

I think of the author's behavior when he was young. Sometimes, when he saw a product and was curious, he wanted his family to buy it. If his family didn't buy the product, he would miss it. He also grumbled and talked about it many times, wanting his parents to buy things. Perhaps, the less he can get, the better he feels. He will have imaginations about things he doesn't have. Things with fantasy bonuses may be better than actual items. If he buys something, he will put it aside after using it for a while or not using it much. It is likely that he will not use it much. In the future, he will continue to buy things. He thinks that many products are good. If they are packaged and promoted, they will be more attractive. As a result, there are still hundreds of books and picture albums at home, and there are many things. There are many things that are not used much. Some books are still new and have not been flipped through after they were bought. The author in the mortal world has a lot of paper books, but some books are not flipped through or read much.

Online reading was not so common in the past, so the sales of paper books at that time were still very good.

In recent years, the total sales of paper books have decreased a lot. Although online reading is convenient, there are still many people who admire and love paper books. They think that reading physical books gives them a better reading experience. Reading paper books in sufficient light and keeping a reading distance feels very authentic and gives you an authentic reading experience. At this stage, there is no electronic device that can provide better eye protection for reading.

Some paper books can be preserved for a long time and can become documentary materials. Some materials and information play an important role in the understanding and research of the history and culture of certain periods in later generations. Some well-preserved ancient books are rare cultural relics and are very valuable.

There are different ways to read books, including reading on electronic devices and listening to books read aloud, but the essence of books has not changed: they are still databases and cultural collections. Excellent books and materials are the witnesses and heritage of civilization.

In the shopping area of ​​the bookstore, my family liked a book about women in the new era, which was priced at 98 yuan. If you don't apply for membership recharge, there will be no discount in the store. My family took a photo of the book with their mobile phone, and the artificial intelligence software automatically searched for the same product sold online based on the detected information. There were multiple online shopping malls with the same book as alternatives, so they could compare prices. The same genuine book in the online shopping mall's self-operated store was priced at 58 yuan during the promotion, which was of course more affordable for online shopping.

Seeing that the price was several dozen yuan different, my family went to the clerk and asked if they could get a discount. If the price could be cheaper, they would consider shopping and wanted to negotiate. The clerk replied that they had to apply for membership and recharge 500 yuan at a time to get some discounts. There was no separate discount activity for that book. Only by applying for membership and meeting the recharge standard could they get discounts.
