When night falls, the Wonder Pavilion workshop is still brightly lit.

Ma Zhou was lying on several cases, still writing something. In the past two days, he has eaten and lived in the workshop, although it is hard, but Ma Zhou's heart is excited at the moment.

"Datang Daily" sold 1,000 copies on the first day, and the sales soared to 10,000 copies on the second day, and it is also in short supply.

This brilliant achievement shows that the newspaper has been successful by him, not only in his career, but also in real success. At this time, Ma Zhou couldn't help but think of the subtle changes in the attitude of the scholars who helped compile the dictionary in the workshop in the past two days, and the world still speaks with strength after all!

If Li Zexuan helped him force his way out that day, those scholars would only be unconvinced, and it would seriously affect the progress of the compilation of the dictionary, which is far less refreshing than relying on talent to convince people now!

Thinking of these pleasant things, Ma Zhou felt that his body was full of vitality again, and the brush in his hand trembled more frequently.

……………

Following.

As expected, newspaper sales are even more popular.

"Hey, that kid, come and bring me two newspapers, my young master and young lady are in a hurry to read "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation"!"

"Give me one! My young master is in a hurry to go to the Guozijian! ”

"Give me ten!"

………………

After two days of word-of-mouth accumulation, today's Chang'an, few people don't know the newspaper, driven by this fiery effect, this morning, as soon as the newspaper was sent out by the newsboy, it was robbed, so Ma Zhou was prepared today, and printed 35,000 copies, which withstood this round of crazy buying in the morning.

"Master Ma, the 35,000 newspapers printed in the morning are almost at the bottom, do you want to print more?"

Now in this workshop, who sees Ma Zhou and dares not to say the word "service"? is the person below, the name of Ma Zhou, who is also in charge of Ma Zhou, has become Ma Ye.

Ma Zhou muttered: "If you print another 5,000 copies, the demand for newspapers in the afternoon should not be as strong as in the morning." ”

"Yes!"

"Master Ma, two businessmen came outside, saying that they wanted to buy a batch of newspapers from the workshop and send them to the nearby states and counties of Chang'an to sell!"

At this time, Song Xiaosi hurriedly came in from outside and said.

"Oh? Someone came so soon? It seems that there are still smart businessmen! ”

Ma Zhou touched his chin, he was obviously mentally prepared for this situation.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

…………

"Brother Ma, how is the newspaper selling today?"

After lunch, Li Zexuan came to the workshop, and after finding Ma Zhou, he asked directly.

Ma Zhou smiled and gestured, Li Zexuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Eight thousand? ”

Li Zexuan didn't know about yesterday's newspaper sales, otherwise he wouldn't have guessed only eight thousand. According to his prediction, in three days, the sales volume rose from 1,000 to 8,000 is also very good.

Ma Zhou shook his head and smiled: "Sir, it's 80,000 copies!" Yesterday's sales were already 10,000. ”

Li Zexuan was taken aback and exclaimed, "Eighty thousand? How can there be so many? ”

The newspaper has only been launched for less than three days, and the population of the entire Chang'an City is only a few hundred thousand, no matter how optimistic Li Zexuan is about the sales of the newspaper, it is impossible to reach 80,000 copies!

Ma Zhou explained with a smile: "Sir, at noon, two calligraphy and painting dealers came, and they ordered 40,000 newspapers directly from the workshop at one time, and they planned to sell them in other states and counties in Chang'an. ”

Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that someone still saw the potential of this newspaper!" At what price did you sell it to them, brother? ”

"Sold at the original price, our newspaper is already very cheap, so Ma did not dare to reduce the price privately, these traders will definitely sell at a higher price in other states and counties, and they will not lose money!"

Li Zexuan nodded approvingly: "Well, not bad, not bad!" ”

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said: "Sir, in fact, since yesterday, some traders have hoarded a batch of newspapers and sold them to other places at a high price, but because the number of newspapers they can buy from the newsboys is limited, the scale is not large, and the two calligraphy and painting dealers who came today are the real big dealers." ”

Li Zexuan nodded thoughtfully, and then he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Brother Ma, since other traders have smelled business opportunities, we might as well take the opportunity to completely expand the "Datang Daily", so that the influence of the newspaper is not limited to Chang'an, it is best to directly spread the influence of the newspaper to the whole country this time." ”

"This..."

Ma Zhou was taken aback by Li Zexuan's ambition, and he said with some hesitation: "Sir, in this case, it will require too much manpower and material resources, and with the current background of the Wonder Pavilion, I am afraid that it is a little stretched." ”

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Brother Ma, of course we will not personally participate in this matter, we can find someone who can cooperate for a long time, such as Wang Renbiao, their Wang family has ready-made channels in various places, and we don't need to bother at all." ”

Ma Zhou thought about it, if you cooperate with others in this matter, there are indeed many benefits, and he agreed: "That's true, then Ma has no problem."

"Well, then I'll go to Wang Renbiao in the afternoon to see if he is interested in working together."

Li Zexuan got up, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, Brother Ma, has the first batch of printed books been printed?" ”

"Well, indeed, these books are estimated to be all sold tomorrow in the Curious Culture of the East Market!"

When Ma Zhou heard this, he replied excitedly.

"Okay, Brother Ma, you remember to make a short advertisement for our Curious Culture in tomorrow's newspaper, and it's best to make a list to tell everyone how cheap our books are!"

"Sir, what is advertising?"

Li Zexuan explained: "Advertising is for advertising, and the purpose is to let more people know about cheap books on curious culture. ”

"Oh, I see!"

Ma Zhou nodded clearly, then he thought about it and said, "Then our future newspapers, can we also put some advertisements for those vendors and shops who have paid us money?" ”

Li Zexuan was taken aback, this Ma Zhou's thinking is really ahead of his time, and now he knows how to charge advertising fees, what a genius!

"Well, in theory, it does! This advertising revenue will be regarded as the largest source of income for the newspaper in the future, and the top priority at the moment is to promote the newspaper, and the more people who know the newspaper, the better! Also, Brother Ma, you also have the idea to rest, I don't think you look very good, you have recently seized the time to find some assistants for you, "Datang Daily" can't always rely on you alone, and you can't hold it! ”

"Well, what the lord said is that Ma will hurry up!"

…………

The third watch, let's go to the third watch today, I'm so sleepy, my eyelids have already started to fight, let me sleep for a while, and continue to write after waking up in three hours!
