After the personnel were readjusted, although there was one less Tian Chunxiu, the efficiency did not decrease but increased.Within a few days, the last remaining 30,000 sets of books in the second batch had been sold out.What we are selling to the outside world now is the third batch of goods.When he got up that morning, Xiao Bai sorted out the accounts at home.A total of 200,000 sets of books were printed in the second batch, of which 50,000 sets were sold to Lin Xiang at a price of 45% off, with a total return of 2.43 million yuan.The price of the remaining 150,000 sets is 55% off, with a total return of 8.91 million yuan.The sum of the two is 11.34 million yuan.The printing cost of the second batch of books is 540,000 yuan, and the transportation and miscellaneous expenses are 10,562 yuan.Since the costs of publishing and distribution had already been amortized, the profit after deducting these expenses was $583,438.580,000 yuan was deposited in the bank, and 1,400 yuan was given to Wei Feng for daily expenses at work, and he kept 2,038 yuan in cash on his own hands.Before, Xiao Bai had a deposit of 510,000 yuan in the bank, which added up to 1.09 million yuan, and he became a veritable millionaire.At the end of the 80s, the title millionaire was extremely lethal.But in Huangni Street, there are not a few people with a net worth of millions, and big booksellers such as Lin Xiang far exceed this number.This is a special product of a special era, after the reopening, the rise of the four major domestic book wholesale markets, created countless wealth myths.But Xiao Bai knows very well that this wealth myth is based on the fact that the market is not standardized and there is no awareness of copyright.China's "Copyright Law" will not be promulgated until June 1, 1991, and it is now the beginning of 1988, which is more than three years to go."
Xiao Xiao, I have learned from many channels that the pirated printing of our version of Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao's book has begun to pop up in several shops on Huangni Street."
Lin Xiang and others' worries were justified before, and since February 5th, the same version of Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao has begun to go on sale.Therefore, when Wei Feng saw Xiao Bai, he seemed a little worried.In fact, Xiao Bai already knew the news.He heard about it from Yue Tong, Jiao Yang, and Lin Xiang.The reason why Wei Feng used the word "piracy" was because the other party was typesetting and printing the books distributed by the studio as they were, and they didn't even make major changes to the cover."
Old Wei, this batch of books is obviously someone testing the waters.I've seen it myself, and the paper quality of the other party's book is extremely poor, and there are many errors in the content.And did you find out that the other party didn't even go through the distribution procedures, and the book number and publishing house were fake. ”Xiao Bai is now an expert, he got two sets of "pirated" books from Yue Tong, and found a lot of problems."
Shall we report it?
No one cares about pirating our books, but someone always takes care of illegal publications, right?
”Wei Feng was angry in his heart, and what he said was inevitably a little impulsive.Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "Actually, it's useless, the other party is testing the market's reaction, so their print run won't be very large."
I bet with you that it won't be long before Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, who has formal publishing and distribution procedures, will go public. ”At this stage, Xiao Bai basically has no way to stop people from doing this.Just like he said to Lin Xiang before, the only effective plan is to grab time, and it is a little more to earn a little more."
Humph!
Cheap these shameless ones.Xiao Xiao, let's still strive to push out the Drinking Horse Liuhua River after the year, it is also a good means to be one step ahead.I'm going to the storeroom now, how about you?
Are you going or not?
”Wei Feng looked unhappy, it just so happened that he was going to deliver the order, so it was good to go out and go around."
Well, I'm going to my cousin, let's go together.Aunt Zhang, Xiaoling, I'm going to Huangni Street, you guys are busy. ”Xiao Bai went to the studio early in the morning and shook around, and then prepared to go to Huangni Street to find Jiao Yang.Today is the day when Jiao Yang made an appointment with him, so after he said hello to Zhang Xuemei and Liu Xiaoling, he went out with Wei Feng.After arriving at Huangni Street, Wei Feng went to the warehouse, and Xiao Bai came directly to Jiaoyang's shop.Jiao Yang was waiting for him, and after seeing him come in, he pulled him into the back room without saying a word and began to settle accounts.In fact, the last 150,000 sets of accounts that went straight to Qingyun are very easy to calculate, and all the previous expenses have been amortized, and what is sold is the net profit."
Little cousin, the total payment for the last 150,000 sets of books is 5.61 million yuan, half of each of us.Well, there is 280,000 yuan on this passbook and another 500 yuan in cash. ”The two quickly settled the accounts, Jiao Yang handed Xiao Bai a passbook of 280,000 yuan, counted out some banknotes and handed them to him."
Cousin, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Bai started from running the channel by himself, and he deeply understood Jiao Yang's difficulty."
What's the hard work?
That's my job.By the way, little cousin, I'll be idle after the New Year.If you have any good projects, don't forget your cousin. ”Jiao Yang still wants to cooperate with Xiao Bai, of course, Ma Mingfeng and Xiao Xiao's set of books is not good, and in the future, pirated and followers will emerge in an endless stream, and the potential of the market should continue to decline.He hopes to cooperate with Xiao Bai on a new book."
I'll talk about it after the New Year, and I'll definitely look for you if there is a suitable project."
There is a high probability that Xiao Bai will publish and release the Drinking Horse Liuhua River after the year, and the fire of Ma Mingfeng and Xiao Xiao before it actually pointed out the direction, and a series can be made in the future.However, with the fierce competition, the number and profits of Xiao Yat's works published and distributed in the future will decline.This is an inevitable trend, and no one can change it.At noon, he had a light meal with Jiao Yang and Lin Fang, and Xiao Bai came to the warehouse.It just so happened that everyone was there, Jiang Xiaozhou, Wu Changlin, Jiang Wei, Yue Tong and Wei Jianjun were all playing cards here after lunch."
Lao Geng, I was still looking for you.This one will be over in a moment, and I have something to say to you. ”When everyone saw Xiao Bai, they greeted him one after another.Xiao Bai waved his hand and motioned for everyone to continue.There was an hour and a half break at noon, and they could do whatever they wanted.Yue Tong quickly finished the cards in his hand, then pulled Xiao Bai aside and said, "I went to a few stores today, and they all bought from us before, but now they can't say it." ”In this area of Huangni Street, there are a total of more than 300 shops, and Xiao Bai and Yue Tong and others have already run all over it.Now Yue Tong's main job is to maintain customers, and if anyone hasn't restocked for a long time, he will go and see.As a result, the problem is seen today.There are several shops that are already selling Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, who has rough printing, and when Yue Tong went in and asked, the owners of several stores said that they would not buy from the studio for the time being.Xiao Bai nodded and said, "Well, I know."
The impact of this matter will not be too big for the time being, and you still have to continue to maintain other customers. ”After speaking, he looked at Jiang Xiaozhou: "Brother Jiang, how many of the third batch of 200,000 sets of books have we already sent?"
”At this time, Jiang Xiaozhou and the others had already put away the pokers, and when he saw Xiao Bai asking, he hurriedly replied: "The third batch of 200,000 sets of books has been stored one after another since January 30, and the storage has been completed so far.Today is February 9th, and 6.02 million sets have been shipped.Judging from the outbound records, the number of outbound shipments in recent days has indeed decreased. ”Jiang Xiaozhou is very serious about doing things, his ledger and warehousing records are all clear, and all kinds of data in the warehouse can be answered with his mouth open."
Well, don't worry, the rest of the books will sell slowly, and I don't believe that they won't be sold out in the next few months.Brothers, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, everyone is ready, on the 15th and 16th, you should go home and leave. ”Xiao Bai had already talked to Wei Feng and Wu Changlin, and the two of them took turns to be on duty in the warehouse during the Chinese New Year.Wei Feng was originally alone, but Wu Changlin dragged his family with him, so Wei Feng's burden was heavier.
