Chapter 567: The War of Scalpers and Piracy
The people below listened with tears in their eyes and raised their hands to praise.
"It's great, this is the difference between people can succeed and we can't!"
"You can't imagine that you really brought me here to make a fortune?"
"I don't know what kind of big cake it is......"
……
Zhao Zhe on the stage spoke again, smiled and picked up three books to introduce to others.
"Have you seen it, these are three comic books, of course, you don't need to know whether this thing looks good, and you don't need to know what this thing draws, you just need to know that this is the cake I said!"
"These three comics, as far as I know, will have a total of more than 500,000 copies tomorrow, and they will be sold in Shangjing, Xianyang, Hangzhou, Dongzhou and other places. The price is expected to be around 888 yuan per copy!"
As soon as the price came out, the people below started talking about it again.
"I'm Cao, what book dares to sell so expensive?"
"If you're sick, you'll buy it if it's so expensive!"
"The cake can't be the book, right?"
……
...... on stage
"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me continue, this comic is called "A Man Like a Pirate", which has exploded in Yueben, and now the domestic Haoyue video is also playing, and the click-through rate has always been the first. Everyone believe me, as long as we take these 500,000 copies, when the time comes, one will sell for 1888, and we will definitely be crazy to grab the book!"
"No, who would buy it if it's so expensive? Ordinary comic books only sell for a few dollars!"
A spectator in the front row questioned, and Zhao Zhe retorted with a sneer.
"What do you know? The highest price of a single copy of this book is more than 30,000 yen! The price of a set of colorful editions is at least more than 5 million yen! Are we expensive to sell for 888 yuan? I repeat, this time it is because the advance is too large, so I asked you to cooperate, otherwise, you just want to make this money, and you don't have that chance! From now on, those who want to make money with me stay, and if they don't want to do it, they will leave directly!"
The venue immediately fell silent, and soon, a big-bellied man in the front row stood up and shouted viciously.
"Those who do our business, just TM is to support the bold, starve the cowardly! The bold eat meat, the boldness eats! Mr. Zhao, this cake, count me as one!"
Then another man stood up.
"Don't do this business if you're afraid, think that Lao Tzu mortgaged his house and car to make up 1 million, directly bought one-third of Ah Hua's concert tickets, and finally earned a suite!
"I'll do it too!"
"People die and birds go up, and if you lose a lot, you can start by selling pirated discs and start all over again!
"MD, it's a big deal to go back to my hometown to farm after losing my old book, count me in!"
……
One hero after another stood up, Zhao Zhe's heart was excited and surging at the moment, he really wanted to laugh three times, and then shouted, give me three thousand scalpers, I can monopolize the earth!
The next day, in Huaxia, the first, second and third volumes of the single book of "A Man Like a Pirate" were officially released in the four first-tier developed cities, with a total circulation of 500,000 copies......
On the day of the release, all the anime fans rushed to the designated point one after another to buy it, but when they asked the price, they vomited blood......
There are countless complaints in the CP anime forum......
"I'm Cao, I'm crazy, a single book is 888 yuan, this number is too auspicious, I can't afford it, forget it, let's go home and continue to eat soil......"
"This price has gone up to the sky, and I seriously suspect that I want to go crazy for money......"
"We can't afford it, we can't afford it if we have money, and the four major cities have sold more than 80% of the sales, which is too big!"
"The world of rich people is really too fascinating, completely bullish Glass, today I saw an aunt in her 50s who bought more than a dozen sets, completely blinded my dog's eyes, does the aunt also understand the Japanese man?"
"It's the same in our city, a lot of uncles and aunts, like crazy to rob, I'm completely stupid......"
……
The spit is not over yet, and someone has started an advertisement in the forum......
[Sell the first three volumes of the single book of "A Man Like a Pirate" in large quantities, the price of a single copy is 8 yuan, you want to buy it as soon as possible, the postage is at your own expense, and the whole country can be posted! Absolutely genuine!]
There are also a bunch of physical pictures below!
The post was immediately besieged!
"I'm Cao, what's the situation?
"Looking at the printing quality and the official one, there is even an anti-counterfeiting code?"
"Landlord, is this a pirated or genuine copy?"
"Regardless of his genuine pirated version, I can watch it, and cheap is the version I like! Landlord, the address is sent to you in a private message, give me a set!"
"I want one too!"
"There are four people in our dormitory, come to four sets, can we trade on the platform?"
……
It hasn't been sold for a few minutes here, and the major comic platforms have also put out a trading post for 8 yuan a piece, and then there are Q groups, WeChat groups, circle of friends, major forums and so on.
It seems that all the posts are sold in pirated copies, and the strange thing is that the price of all posts is surprisingly consistent, all of them are 8 yuan, and it seems that selling 9 yuan is a sin.
Three days later, the single book of "A Man Like a Pirate" seemed to blossom in China......
Magazine hut at the entrance of the subway station......
"Boss, buy a magazine...... Huh? You actually have a single book of "A Man Like a Pirate" here? All three volumes are available, how do you sell it, boss?"
"8 pieces each!"
"How much?"
"8 pieces!"
"I'm Cao! I want it all! How many I want! By the way, boss, are you genuine?"
"Don't worry, we have a business license, and this book has just been pulled back from the publishing house!"
……
A small shop in front of a school......
"Boss, a bottle of water......"
"2 pieces of 5 ......"
"Damn, boss, you still sell "A Man Like a Pirate......" here? It's not piracy, is it?"
"Absolutely genuine, do you want it, just arrived!"
"How much?"
"8 yuan a piece, how many copies do you have?"
"8 pieces?"
"Hmmm......"
"I'm Cao, Da Zhuang, Li Qiang, Shaofei! Come on, I'm Cao Cao Cao, here is "A Man Like a Pirate", genuine, only sold for 8 yuan!"
……
At this moment, in Zhao Zhe's room, a room full of "A Man Like a Pirate" was piled up, and only a narrow passage was left in the room, which could only accommodate one person to pass through.
His best friend and colleague Wang Fatzi sighed and looked at the room full of books in a daze.
"Zhao Zhe, I want to ...... We're probably going to be done this time...... Now the world is full of "A Man Like a Pirate", a copy is 8 yuan, you can look at it, it is exactly the same as the book we bought......"
Wang Fatzi took out three books from his briefcase, Zhao Zhe flipped through them, whether it was from the paper, typesetting, or printing quality, there was almost no difference from the books he bought!
He gritted his teeth and cursed hatefully.
"Damn piracy!"
Wang Fatzi laughed at himself.
"Scalpers scold piracy, this is really interesting, Zhao Zhe, all my belongings have been pressed, I mortgaged my house, car, and borrowed three million, if ......"
"Shut up, is that all you are? Am I not? I'm the biggest invested! the biggest! You know what!!
