Chapter 53: Miss Su is poisonous
There was nothing to say all the way, and at six o'clock, the bus arrived.
There was no need for Chen Wen to advise, Su Kangkang took the initiative to say that he would wait for Brother Wen at the return station across the road.
Chen Wensai gave him five yuan and asked him to settle dinner by himself.
Su Kangkang said that you can't spend so much, and Chen Wen said that if you can't finish it, you can keep it yourself.
Chen Wen came to the book printing workshop again, and it was the workshop owner who claimed to be surnamed Wang who opened the door.
---------------------------------
Turn back to the afternoon.
In the printing workshop, there is redundancy in the printing of each batch of books, not that customers order 100 copies to print exactly 100 copies, but to print several more copies, just in case of various emergencies.
In fact, in the process of printing books this afternoon, the workshop printed 102 copies.
After Chen Wen picked up the goods and left, these two redundant prints became popular in the workshop!
Boss Wang was in business inside and out, and he didn't have time to read this book in detail, but he simply flipped through it a few times when discussing the price with Chen Wen, and he thought that this book was like those train literature.
Boss Wang flipped through the last page and saw the words unfinished, so he was even more reluctant to read carefully.
After receiving Chen Wen's deposit, Boss Wang handed over the manuscript to the person in charge of the workshop.
There are three people in the workshop, Boss Wang, and two workers in the workshop.
Two workers, the older one is a typesetting master, and he is responsible for all the technical work in the workshop, and the other is a small worker under the age of 20.
The first person to be shocked by this book was the typesetting master who completed the hand-painted cover pattern for the book.
The manuscript was being reprinted while he was happily reading.
Chen Wen's 100 copies had just been bound to the first one, and he took them to Boss Wang to read.
Boss Wang thought that there was an accident in the printing work, so he read it carefully, and when he read the second page, Boss Wang's eyes couldn't be pulled out.
Subsequently, Boss Wang, as well as another small worker, also became fans of "President One".
---------------------------------
Back at six o'clock, Chen Wen walked into the door of the workshop for the second time.
"Boss Wang, I'm back again! This time I'm going to print a batch of books, and it's still that one. Chen Wen said.
Boss Wang also looked a little surprised, this young man had just picked up a batch of books in the afternoon, why did he come back so quickly? Listening to his tone, could it be that it was sold out so quickly!
"Young man, how many copies do you want to print?" Although he was surprised, Boss Wang's tone was silent.
"I want more this time, three hundred copies, you give some discounts. Chen Wen said.
When picking up the goods for the first time in the afternoon, Boss Wang promised that next time he came to print the book, he would definitely give Chen Wen a certain discount.
Chen Wen pondered in his heart, judging from the out-of-stock at the gate of Jiaoda, if his book was reprinted, it would definitely be in short supply again, so he decided to use all the 800 yuan in cash on his body to print the book, leaving only more than 10 yuan for food.
According to the price of a single copy for the first time, more than 530 copies can be printed for 500 or 800 yuan a piece, and if the price of a single copy can be discounted, there is hope that 600 copies will be printed.
800 yuan, 600 copies printed, and the cost of each copy is three cents and three cents per piece, which is Chen Wen's psychological price.
The rest is up to negotiations.
"Three hundred, one can be two cents cheaper for you. Boss Wang replied.
This price made Chen Wen quite pleasantly surprised, it was a piece of three and one books, which was almost the same as Chen Wen's psychological valuation before entering the door.
Boss Wang is an old Jianghu in his thirties, and although Chen Wen has a nineteen-year-old face and body, he has a soul that is ten years older than Boss Wang.
Chen Wen's face was not shocked, and he said lightly: "What if I want more, six hundred copies, Boss Wang, you see, can it be cheaper?"
"Six hundred!" Boss Wang answered, didn't speak again, and began to calculate the production cost.
After a while, Boss Wang spoke: "In this way, I will give you the lowest unit price according to the number of 1,000 copies, and one copy is one piece of two." You have 600 copies this time, two copies of one book. The next time you come again, if the number exceeds 1,000 copies, as long as it is within 2,000 copies, it is still 2 or less than 2,000 copies, and we will no longer talk about the new price. ”
Chen Wen thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's follow this for the time being." I'll give you the money now, and I'll print it now. ”
Boss Wang said, "Yes." We were supposed to leave work soon, and now we're working overtime for you. ”
Chen Wen asked, "When will it be printed?"
Boss Wang said: "An hour is fine, the machine is idle now, and it will be printed for you immediately." ”
Chen Wen said: "I'll come back in an hour to get the goods. I printed 666 copies this time. ”
Subsequently, Chen Wen paid a deposit of 200 yuan and left the workshop.
---------------------------------
The old place found Su Kangkang, the little fat man hadn't eaten yet, and the two found a small restaurant for dinner.
At seven o'clock, Chen Wen returned to the workshop and settled the final payment.
Boss Wang printed 670 copies and handed over the redundant finished products to Chen Wen.
670 copies, tied seven bundles, Chen Wen couldn't move it alone, Boss Wang asked the typesetting master to drive and send Chen Wen and the book back.
The number of Chen Wen's books is really not a big customer, it is entirely because Boss Wang has become an iron fan of "President One".
During the conversation, Chen Wen did not reveal that he was the author of the book, but only said that he knew Miss Su, who wrote the book, and this information had already made Boss Wang excited, and he looked forward to meeting his idol one day.
The typesetting master said that his surname was also Wang, Chen Wen smiled when he heard it, he knew the rules of this gray industry, it was not good, and the little worker in the workshop might also say that his surname was Wang.
The car turned out of the intersection and turned, Chen Wen said to stop, and shouted at Su Kangkang at the roadside station: "Fatty, get in the car, hurry up, don't talk!"
Su Kangkang's advantages are very prominent, Brother Wen said that he is not allowed to speak, then he is not allowed to speak, there are outsiders present!
Without saying anything all the way, Chen Wen asked the typesetting master to park the car at two intersections away from Su's house, and moved the goods and got off the car with Su Kangkang.
After the typesetting master drove away, Chen Wen asked Su Kangkang to hire a human-powered tricycle to transport seven bundles of books home.
When I got home, I looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock.
Chen Wen picked up a bundle of books, led Su Kangkang, and went out to the medical school that was relatively close.
The pedagogical university has a large number of students and a high proportion of female students, but it is too far away.
Chen Wen pondered on the road, and the sales rushed to grab time, taking advantage of tonight, to grab a wave of market at the gate of the medical school.
My own "President", I must rush to distribute the goods at the entrance of as many universities as possible, this thing is so popular, it's not good, and the pirated version will come out in two days!
There is no technical difficulty in reprinting this kind of book, just take a sample copy and make it.
---------------------------------
Arrive at the entrance of the medical school, 8:20.
It's still the same sales routine, Su Kangkang raised his card, and Chen Wen controlled the field.
I have to say that the fat man's eye-catching ability is very strong, Su Kangkang is quite happy holding the white cardboard, and from time to time he makes a few weird expressions, which can always make the girls passing by laugh.
Chen Wen shouted: "Don't miss it when you pass by, the latest masterpiece of the great writer Miss Su, a romance novel, is free to read for 10 minutes." ”
During the day and at night, the number of people at the school gate is about the same, but the quality is not a concept at all.
During the day, most of the people who enter and leave the school gate are in a hurry. At night, most of the people who come in and out are relaxed and slow, walking and shopping, and many people come out in pairs and groups of three or five.
The number of readers in the first batch of readers who enjoyed the trial reading was as many as 20! It directly reached the number of buyers in the second and third batches at the gate of Jiaojiao in the afternoon.
Chen Wen is too lazy to look at his watch, 6 pages is equal to 10 minutes, as long as he sees the book in his hand turned to page 7 or 6, he snatched it back, and said with a deep profiteer expression: "I'm sorry, the free trial time has come, if you want to continue reading, please buy, 5 yuan a copy!"
On the reader's side, there are protests, dissatisfaction, and scolding, but in the end, the vast majority of people honestly pay for the book.
The very few people who didn't buy a book, either didn't have enough five dollars, or they were traveling in groups, and one of them bought the book and the others could borrow it.
In short, this "Miss Su's masterpiece" is really toxic, and everyone who has participated in the trial has become buyers, co-buyers, or potential buyers without exception.
