Chapter Seventy-One: Staking the Race
What happened on the Baixiang Tower is just a microcosm of the many things in the capital today.
Under the full publicity of the Four Princes' Mansion and Song Wenyou, the "detailed inside story" of the Battle of Jiujue Mountain is spreading in the direction expected by Song Yan.
And with the fermentation of this matter, the reason why Song Yan suddenly sent a war letter to the Nine Peerless Sects was also excavated in detail by the "good deeds", compiled into a paragraph, and spread rapidly to the entire Shangjing City.
Even different from the "hot spots" caused by Song Yan in the previous times, this time because it involves the behemoth of Shenwutang, the news is no longer limited to Shangjing, but spread to all parts of the world.
Of course, outside of Shangjing, the name "Buwu Pavilion" is far from being well-known, at most there are a few "industry insiders" who have heard of it, and most of the people are only interested in gossip.
Song Yan didn't want to care about the affairs outside the capital, his current goal was to concentrate on the vast number of martial artists in the capital.
Shangjing City is the essence of the entire Great Zhou, high-level martial artists above the Shenhai level, not to mention half of them are in Shangjing, two or three percent are still there, and the proportion of innate masters is not so high.
For Song Yan, the innate martial artist is his main customer, but at present, the source of customers in Beijing is far from being exhausted, and there is no need to consider the outside for the time being.
And the propaganda effect of the battle of the Nine Peerless Mountains is also very obvious, yesterday, that is, the day after the battle, Buwu Pavilion opened again, and released a new batch of printed martial arts cheats.
According to Song Yan's requirements, the number of cheats in this batch has greatly increased compared to before, and the "Great King Heart Sutra" and "Nine Commandments Sword" among them are twice as many as other martial arts.
However, after the opening of Buwu Pavilion, it was still sold out in just half an hour, and the potential of the market explosion was quite amazing, so that all "practitioners" were eye-catching.
Yes, the sale of martial arts books is already a big industry now, and there are countless practitioners, but before Buwu Pavilion appeared, no one knew that this market would be so huge.
In normal understanding, it is difficult for a martial artist to become self-taught if he only relies on a martial arts secret book, and it will waste a lot of time to become a talent, so it is far better to join the martial arts sect or Shenwutang to study.
However, Buwu Ge dismantled the two parts of teaching and knowledge, and immediately subdivided this part of the market, so that many forces were interested in coming in and getting a piece of the pie.
Now is undoubtedly the industry's dividend period, the entire industry market is expanding rapidly, today your sales increased by five times, tomorrow I dare to increase tenfold, until the production capacity can not keep up.
The printing line is not so easy to set up, not only needs to invest money and recruit people, but also needs to study the process, and the overall preparation also takes time.
And after these things are done, the martial arts cheats that are produced must be careful of the people in the rivers and lakes...... Yes, for a significant number of merchants, this part is the most difficult to solve.
The value of martial arts cheats is too high, and ordinary guards can't stop the red-eyed warriors at all, and even often encounter the situation of spending a lot of money to hire guards, and as a result, the guards are stealing themselves, which has made the six doors a lot busier recently.
It stands to reason that in this state of complete short supply, it is only right that the price of martial arts cheats will rise in response, but there is no such atmosphere in Shangjing City...... This is also thanks to a certain conscientious businessman surnamed Song.
"No matter how expensive other people's cheats are, what is the price of Buwu Pavilion on the first day of opening, and what will be the price in the future, it will remain unchanged for a hundred years and a thousand years!"
"When I was most depressed in Song Yan, it was your generosity in buying my secret book that allowed Buwu Pavilion to survive. If the price rises now, won't Song become a person who forgets his roots?"
"To make all the martial artists in the world afford to buy cheats and practice martial arts, this is my Song Yan's dream, and it is also the purpose of Buwu Pavilion!"
When Buwu Pavilion reopened yesterday, Song Yan, the owner of Buwu Pavilion, made a speech, which immediately provoked applause and merciless scolding from his peers - are you sick?!
......
"Price increase? I'm stupid to raise the price!"
In the Buwu Pavilion, in Song Yan's small courtyard, he was smiling disdainfully, and then turned to Song Zhihuan and said, "Zhihuan, do you know why I want to open the Buwu Pavilion?"
"Could it be...... Isn't it to make money?" Song Zhihuan thought about it, how could he not feel that his sixth brother would be the kind of person who would work for the well-being of the world's martial artists.
"Of course not. Song Yanyi said rhetorically, "What is money? Take you Song Zhihuan as an example, even if you have the wealth to buy the entire Shangjing, you can't stop the grandmaster from ...... fingers."
"Sixth brother, can you change the example?"
"Okay, that toe?"
“......”
Although the metaphor is not very elegant, Song Zhihuan still understands the meaning of Song Yan. He had always known that his sixth brother was a talented martial artist, and he had just defeated Zong Wan a few days ago, and he was in the limelight for a while.
For such figures, wealth is a symbol, not a necessity.
It's like many quasi-grandmaster-level powerhouses are thinking about how to promote Shenhai, and they rarely even interfere in worldly affairs, at most, they slowly become obsessed with power when they get older.
It is indeed quite rare for a young and promising martial artist like Song Yan to devote himself to business dealings.
"Sales, sales volume is the key, understand?" Song Yan said with a look of hatred, "If all the martial artists in the world practice our martial arts, then what is the matter with the Shenwu Hall?"
Song Zhihuan was frightened by his bold words, and hurriedly said, "Sixth brother, you ...... Do you want to fight against Shenwutang? If there is a day, I'm afraid ......."
"I'm afraid that Shenwutang has already cleaned me up first, I know, that's what I said. Of course, Song Yan knew it in his heart, waved his hand, and said, "But this is the foundation of our expansion of influence, and this will not be wrong." ”
"Those profiteers out there just want to make money out of this...... Short-sighted!"
Song Zhihuan thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and he couldn't help but admire his sixth brother's "strategic vision" even more, but he was a little worried about Song Yantian's character of not being afraid of the ground.
Song Yan didn't care, but said: "The silver and taels brought by the Four Princes' Mansion don't need to be saved, and together with the funds earned by each batch, all of them will be invested in the new production line." By the way, you don't have to pay tribute to Shenwutang in the future, you can save a lot of money. ”
Just kidding, I really thought that Song Yan was sincerely sending money to Shenwutang? From the very beginning, he wanted to make a fortune, and then take the opportunity to stop "paying tribute", but as things developed, he found a good opportunity.
Speaking of this, Song Yan's eyes began to shine: "The progress of staking is too slow now, tomorrow I will challenge the second place innate, and the speed of the challenge will be faster and faster in the future...... By the time I complete these ten rounds of challenges, I hope that Buwu Pavilion will already be the largest bookstore in Shangjing. ”
Song Zhihuan's voice trembled a little: "Don't you need to set aside some funds? In case of some accidents, our money may not be recovered...... And in fact, with our current funds, it is still not enough. ”
"If it's not enough, borrow it, take Buwu Pavilion to Qianzhuang to mortgage, there are four princes participating in the shares, are you still afraid that they won't borrow?" Song Yanhun waved his hand indifferently.
"That'...... What if you don't?"
"Let them go to Zhao Cen to ask for money! Our Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has money, can he still sit back and watch Buwu Pavilion go bankrupt?"
