Chapter 359: Ma Zhou's Investigation, Brother Ji Returns!
"Little four, you go and see if the printing department can deliver five hundred "Tang Dictionary" today, if not, all stay and continue to work tonight~!"
In the editorial department, Ma Zhou looked at a stack of data tables, frowned and ordered, from his expression, it was obvious that he was a little anxious.
"Yes, Ma Ye~!"
Song Xiaosi bowed down to receive the order, turned around and was about to go out, when he happened to meet Li Zexuan who pushed the door in.
"Ouch~! Meet the Lord~! ”
Ma Zhou, who was contemplating his eyebrows, quickly woke up when he heard Song Xiaosi's words, got up and arched his hand: "Sir, you are here~!" ”
"Hmm~! Little four, you go and do your own errands! ”
Li Zexuan waved his hand, just before he entered the door, he heard what Ma Zhou said, it wasn't that he deliberately eavesdropped, his ears were too good to listen to it, he couldn't cover his ears!
Song Xiaosi smiled and saluted, retreated lightly, and closed the door very sensibly.
"What's wrong~? Brother Ma~? Is it because the printing department can't keep up? ”
Li Zexuan came to the top and sat down, and asked with a smile.
"It's true~~!"
Ma Zhou nodded helplessly, and said a little depressedly: "I can't blame the editorial department for this, the craftsmen over there are basically too busy to eat, mainly because the people are too enthusiastic about the "Tang Dictionary", and the thousand you said earlier are far from enough~!" ”
"Oh~? Why did Brother Ma say this? ”
Li Zexuan was interested and asked curiously.
Two days ago, Ma Zhou was still questioning his decision to print the first batch of 1,000 copies, but he didn't expect that in just two days, Ma Zhou changed his opinion, and Li Zexuan wanted to know what happened in the middle.
Ma Zhou snorted:
"It's a shame to say that Ma had doubts about the lord's decision before, so after the launch of the "Tang Dictionary" in Qiquge today, Ma hired dozens of men and asked them to go to various streets in Chang'an City to investigate how many people were willing to buy the "Tang Dictionary", and the result was ........."
"How did it turn out~?"
Li Zexuan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that Ma Zhou's thinking was becoming more and more advanced, and he would conduct market research before the new product was launched, he was really a genius!!
"Judging from the data just now, there are nearly 2,300 people who are willing to buy the "Datang Dictionary" immediately, excluding those who do not know the news of the "Datang Dictionary" and those who have not been investigated!"
"In other words, we attracted at least 2,000 people who were willing to spend money on it through just one day of publicity! Our printing department has worked hard to print the dictionary for two days, and it is estimated that it is not enough to sell it in one day~! And as more and more people know about the "Tang Dictionary" in the future, Ma really can't imagine what a terrifying number its sales will reach! ”
"I'm afraid that all of us in the workshop don't do anything all day long, specializing in printing the "Datang Dictionary", I'm afraid we can't catch up with such a sales speed!"
Ma Zhou scratched at his messy hair and smiled bitterly.
Li Zexuan was surprised: "How can so many people want to buy~?" It shouldn't be! ”
He already had a very optimistic estimate of the demand for the "Datang Dictionary", but judging from the data returned from Ma Zhou's research, the actual demand of the first batch is likely to be more than four times larger than the value he estimated, which makes him a little difficult to understand, after all, the "Datang Dictionary" is only publicized in the newspaper today!
"How could it not~?"
Ma Zhou shook his head and explained:
Ma Zhou also thought that it would not be so crazy, but after getting the data, Ma thought about it seriously, and the reason why there is such a large demand is also a matter of course. Our "Tang Dictionary" is an essential reference book for the imperial examination and a textbook for children's enlightenment! ”
"Those students who are preparing for the imperial examination, when they see today's headlines, how can they not buy it~? Those who are from poor families, when they see this news and learn that the imperial court will send assistant teachers to teach pinyin to illiterate children for free, how will they not buy it? After all, only paying for a "Datang Dictionary" can make their children know how to read, which poor family can resist such a temptation~~? This literacy cost is really too low! ”
"Thinking about it this way, there will be such a huge demand, and Ma doesn't feel strange at all~!"
Li Zexuan suddenly estimated that the powerful function of the "Tang Dictionary" would arouse people's desire to buy, but he underestimated the huge influence of Li Er's words in the people.
"Hmm~! I see, but Brother Ma, you don't have too much pressure, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, and the situation of short supply is not something that can be solved overnight, let's take our time, the craftsmen should still eat and eat, and they should rest or rest! The problem now is that the scale of the workshop is not large enough, and I have just discussed with Fubo to expand the workshop in the future, and then I can recruit more people~! ”
Li Zexuan couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Ma Zhou frowning and looking bitter and hateful, so he comforted.
"Expansion~~?"
Ma Zhou suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Zexuan in disbelief, obviously he also knew the current situation of the workshop very well, and knew that the workshop was currently expandable according to common sense~!
………………………
"Bang bang!"
"Haha~! Master Ma, I'm back~! I have to thank you this time~! I didn't say it, I'll be the east in a while, please ............"
"Squeak~~"
Inside the house.
After Li Zexuan explained to Ma Zhou the plan he had proposed to relocate the workshop and the fact that Li Chengqian sent someone to set up a hair review department within the editorial department of "Datang Daily", he looked at the sky and felt that it was time to go home.
"Uh~! Sir, you are also here~~! Ha ha~! That one... I'm sleepwalking, sleepwalking! Ha ha~! ”
The door was wide open, looking at the young and handsome face behind the door, Brother Ji patted the door with his right hand, which suddenly froze in the air, stunned for a few breaths, and Brother Ji laughed dryly.
Li Zexuan: ".................."
Ma Zhou: "....................."
"Slow down~~!"
Seeing that this tease was stretching out his two arms, jumping up and down like a zombie, Li Zexuan shouted angrily and said, "You come back!" ”
"Haha~~! Hey~? Why is my old Pang here~? ”
Pang Feiji was stunned, paused, turned around and walked over to this side.
"Hehe~! Pang Sige came back from the investigation at this time~? How did it turn out~? ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, Ma Zhou smiled and helped Brother Ji to round the field.
"Ha~! Yes yes! Thanks to Ma Ye's guidance, you are really like a god in solving cases! Ahem! As you expected, it was really a group of little hairy boys who made trouble, but those naughty boys never came to make trouble again, so Pang had to come back first! After all, the safety of the workshop and the curious culture is also very important~! ”
Brother Ji stepped forward and said flatteringly.
"Then you two are chatting, I'll go back!"
Li Zexuan listened to it, smiled and waved his hand and went out!
Ma Zhou told him before that when he got such a result, it must have been Wei Chi Jingde who deliberately released the water, otherwise it would not have ended so hastily, at least the biaozi he hired could be found by Wuhou.
Now it seems that he has to inherit the favor of Captain Chi Jingde~!
…………………
Today is a good day~~!
Xia Ke finally signed a three-party contract today, and then rejected several other offers, and in the next few months, he finally didn't have to look for a job and wrote a book with peace of mind!
To be honest, during this time of looking for a job, it is very difficult for knights to update, because they often need to run job fairs everywhere, run interviews, have less time to write, and have less time to think about the plot, so, during this time, whether it is the number of updates or the quality of updates, knights are not particularly satisfied, but they can insist on constantly changing, and knights themselves admire themselves!
Fortunately,The days of such hard work are finally over.,I'll plan the plot well.,The amount of updates will come up slowly.,The plot will become more and more exciting.,You will see it more and more cool.,On the 28th of this month,There will be an unprecedented (cough cough,It's indeed unprecedented for a knight) big explosion.,When the time comes, those who have been saying that the knight is two years old.,Owe a knight I'm sorry!
There's also good news.,There's a guy called Iron Egg in the group today.... The male number four of this book is homecoming! Haha, congratulations!
Finally, ask for recommendations! Ask for a monthly pass!
