In just two days and two nights, the first edition of the first issue of this book was published, and it was waiting to be bound.The first edition was conservative and only 10,000 copies were printed.In the early morning of the third day, the old patriarch went to get money, find connections, and run connections.After all, Changzhou is so big, there are 119 counties in 10 counties below, with a total population of more than 20 million.With such a large territory, if it is not prepared in advance, how can it be possible to sell this book to every county?
This is not a modern society, just a phone call away.Therefore, for the next five days, the old patriarch kept running around and talking with others......."
The book is a hardcover edition, the pages are made of high-quality paper, and the ink in it is also a high-quality ink.Moreover, some of the pages are still colored, which can be regarded as very conscientious. ”"Therefore, it is also expensive, we sell it for 200 wen a copy, and the bookstore is estimated to rise to 300 or even 400 wen."
Listening to Oak's introduction, Xiong Yan carefully looked at the books in front of him, which had been thoroughly printed and bound.There are sixty pages in total, which is quite thick for a magazine.The total number of words is about 30,000, with an average of 500 words per page.The content of it has pictures, tables and words.The content is very conscientious, the workmanship is very good, and considering the particularity of the content, although it is a little expensive, it will definitely be able to sell.Theoretically, it should be very popular, but in fact, Xiong Yan at the moment is not sure."
By the way, how much does this book cost?"
Xiong Yan said suddenly."
The cost?
Well, the most expensive thing about printing books is the price of engraving, but this time it was carved by Uncle Ye himself, and he didn't need money.Moreover, the raw material of the engraving is just the branch of a century-old tree in the west of the village, and it does not cost money. ”"But ink costs money, paper costs money.Later, when the book was bound into thread, the clan was mobilized to let many aunts who were good at needlework do it, and we wanted to give money, but they didn't want it.This time, I didn't pay, but I had to pay later. ”"If it is a regular rule, one page of engraving will cost one tael and five pieces of silver, and sixty pages of engraving will cost ninety taels of silver.The price of the paper required for 10,000 volumes is also very expensive, a full fifty taels of silver, plus the cost of manual binding, it should be regarded as ten taels of silver. ”While listening to Oak Flower's words, Xiong Yan nodded, and as soon as he calculated in his heart, the cost came out."
In other words, the total price of 10,000 books this time is equivalent to one hundred and fifty taels?""
That's right, and the price we sold was two hundred wen, of course, because we are a new book, so it is a trial sale, that is, we have not received a penny now, but have posted one hundred and fifty taels upside down."
Oak reminded.The so-called trial sale is a way for bookstores to make money by lowering prices.You won't pay until the new book is sold.How much to sell, how much to pay.In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.10,000 books have also been bound.It's all thread-bound books, sewing one after another, which is really a very time-consuming and energy-consuming job.At first, the villagers didn't want money, but in the end, they all silently received the wages given by Xiong Yan into their pockets.Of course, while receiving the salary, I am even more grateful to Xiong Yan.Because Xiong Yan gave a lot of money, it was given in a timely manner, and it was not in arrears.And the old patriarch, in the remaining eight days, through connections, met several bookstore shopkeepers, negotiated with them, and sold new books.Ten days later, the goods were finally distributed.The first edition of Persuasion also officially appeared in bookstores in various counties, counties and even state towns.In some bookstores, the book is placed in the most prominent place.In some bookstores, it is placed in a corner.On this day, in a certain bookstore, a talented old man came to a certain bookstore happily with his new salary in his purse.Looking at the stacks of books in the bookstore, I feel very happy."
Any good books that just came out?"
After reading a lot of old books, it's time to buy them."
Yes, these dozens of books are all new, and a few of them are still very good."
Slowly, Xiucai saw the book of persuasion.Compared with other books, persuasion is really a bit of a bewitching and cheap feeling.In ordinary books, there is either no cover, and even if there is, it is very plain.In contrast, the persuasion of the color cover gives people a feeling of standing out from the crowd."
Persuasion?""
Knowledge changes fate?!""
Good!
That's nice!
This sentence is so true!
”Seeing this, Xiucai only felt that this sentence was a portrayal of his life.This Xiucai, named Wu Guang, is only twenty-five years old this year, but his hair is already half white.On the face, there are also a lot of wrinkles, which is completely premature.Originally, he was just an ordinary person, with no outstanding talent and no money, so he didn't cultivate.In order to read, in order to develop, I can only read hard, read desperately, read painstakingly, and read until I vomit blood and still read.Finally, last year, I was admitted to Xiucai, although the ranking was the last and just crossed the line, but after all, I was admitted to Xiucai.If you are admitted to Xiucai and become an official, you will be rich.Slowly began to cultivate, and the white hair on his head was half black again, and there was a trend of complete recovery.When I think of my own experience, when I see these six words, isn't it a portrayal of the first half of my life?
After recalling for a while, Wu Guang made a decision, as long as the content of this book can be as wonderful as these six words, no, as long as the content is not too bad, he will buy this book himself."
The gentleman said: It's not okay to learn.""
Green is taken from blue, and green is blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water....... "......" gentleman is not different, and he is good at fake things!
”Seeing this sentence, Xiucai only felt that his three views had been impacted.After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but applaud."
Good article, really good article, I bought this book, just rush this sentence, just rush this article, how much is this book, I bought it.""
It's very expensive, it costs 400 wen.""
So expensive?
Am I an acquaintance?
”"Well, three hundred and fifty wen, it can't be lower, I want to earn a little.""
Well, though, it's a good book."
After the payment was completed, Xiucai made it to the chair and began to continue browsing the article."
Perseverance, rotten wood does not break......
The crab is six kneeling and two claws, and there is no one who can be sustained in the cave of the non-snake eel, and he is also restless. ”"Huh?
What's next?
Where did the next one go?
Why did it break halfway through?
Is there really no more?
”"This ......
This......
This......
Why is there no more?
”Note: The total population of Dachu is 5 billion.On average, there are more than 200 million in a province and more than 20 million in a state.Therefore, the number of people who read books is many, many.In this case, the first edition was only printed in 10,000 copies, which is somewhat conservative when there are channels and relationships that can be promoted to the whole state.Therefore, in Da Chu, the scale of best-selling books in the state is 100,000 levels.The scale of bestsellers in the province is at the level of millions.And if the entire Da Chu is spoken, it must be at the level of tens of millions.()
