A hundred well-located shops have long been in place, 100,000 books, each store supplies 1,000 copies, and the books cost one or two silver.

In the state of Chu, one tael of silver is consistent money, that is, a thousand wen.

For a penny of silver, you can buy a baked cake for breakfast or something, and the expenses of an ordinary family are only about one or two silver a month.

But Qin Ming's book costs one or two pieces of silver, which is definitely not expensive.

The cost of the same book, in this world, from the expensive production of paper and the laborious and laborious transcription of labor, is about three or four taels of silver or even more.

Therefore, it is often sold by the big families, often for five or six taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is not something that ordinary families can afford at all, at most a few people who really want to change their fate will grit their teeth and buy books.

Therefore, except for the family and some wealthy families, there are almost no scholars in the poor family.

There are not even many who can read and hyphenate words.

Now, the price of one or two silver is definitely the news that has caused a sensation in the Chu State.

Of course, Qin Ming did not lose at all.

He came up with papermaking and printing that could greatly reduce the cost of papermaking.

The paper of a book, plus the transportation of labor and raw materials, etc., is only fifty yuan. The printing of a book is only forty texts. Less binding, ten penny labor costs.

Therefore, these costs add up to about 100 Wen.

Sell one or two pieces of silver and make a profit of 900 Wen, which is already a big profit.

Thinking that books are so cheap and there are such big profit margins, Qin Ming is extremely excited.

This is no longer a matter of completing the task and fighting with the family, Ya is so profitable, if you don't fight with them, you have to grab this market.

So that night, Qin Ming asked the educated people in the house to start writing propaganda slogans.

Early the next morning, workers took propaganda slogans with the locations of each shop and posted them everywhere in the imperial capital.

Many people who watched the excitement were stunned when they saw the paper with the propaganda slogan written on it.

This kind of paper, at first glance, is a high-quality paper, many people have never seen it on weekdays, and today it is used to advertise everywhere in the imperial capital?

This surprised many people, and they became interested in the above content.

"Zhang Xiucai? What's written on this? An old man asked.

Hearing this, a coarse cloth show said:

"I'll take a look...... It is written: The Qinjia Bookstore opened 100 stores in the imperial capital, and there were books for sale at a price of one ...... Only a tael of silver? This...... How is this possible? ”

Na Xiucai was forced at that time, and then he looked at the yellowed and inferior books in his hand, and said:

"Impossible, the book I bought two years ago cost six taels of silver, how can this Qin family bookstore only cost one tael of silver?"

You must know that this showman gritted his teeth and bought a book, and he has been like a treasure to this day, and he will never leave it.

When many people saw him, they all called him a talent, because he was literate and readable.

But now, the Qin Family Bookstore only sells books for one or two silver, which is too cheap.

The people around were even more shocked when they heard the news.

But some people immediately didn't believe it: "It's absolutely impossible, one or two silver, I'm afraid it's not enough for the cost of a book's paper." ”

A middle-aged man sneered: "That is, if this is the case, wouldn't every family grit their teeth and afford it?" ”

Na Xiucai also nodded, but then said, "But looking at the paper of the notice, it is very good...... No, I have to go to the Qin Family Library. ”

In fact, the paper on which the advertisement is written is good publicity.

That morning, the housekeeper had the workers each carry 100,000 books to 100 branches.

The person in charge of the branch has also been recruited, and they will sell the books directly.

The workers went back and continued to work on the assembly line.

Qin Ming stayed at the headquarters store not far from Qin's mansion and saw the business in person.

It's just that at first, there were surprisingly no one.

This made the hired steward anxious, and said to Qin Ming: "Childe, such a good quality of books, and such a clear content, no one came, this is ......."

"Steward, don't worry, there will always be the first person to eat crabs." Qin Ming said.

"Huh?" The steward was puzzled: "What are you doing eating crabs?" ”

Qin Ming smiled and stopped talking.

After about half an hour, a young man finally walked in.

He first asked worriedly: "Xiao Sheng looked at the signboard outside and said that the books here are one or two pieces of silver?" ”

"That's right, you can take a look at the quality and content of the book, Tong Suo is not bullied!" Qin Ming personally spoke.

The man's eyes lit up as he looked at the stacked books in the store, and after flipping through them a few times, his hands trembled with excitement.

"This paper, this clear and straightforward content...... It's true...... A tael of silver? The man asked.

Qin Ming said: "Of course, if you take out a tael of silver, you can take the book home." In the future, I will have other books here, and the price will definitely be five or six times cheaper than other people's houses. ”

"Okay, I'll buy ......" The man took out the usual money as if he was afraid that Qin Ming would regret it, and after the steward collected it, the man walked out of the store excitedly with the book.

The moment he left the store, he shouted in ecstasy outside: "It's really a tael of silver, oh my God......"

Suddenly, no less than forty or fifty people gathered outside.

Seeing this, Qin Ming walked over and said, "Everyone, the prices and books in the Qin Family Library are absolutely real, and there is no deception, everyone can come and buy them with confidence." ”

"Why is it so cheap?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Hearing this, Qin Ming looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees and said in a deep and heartfelt voice:

"In order to let the children of the poor families in the world have books to read, in order to let those who want to study and become talented have a way out."

In an instant, everyone present was moved.

"Good man, selling books for one or two pieces of silver, this is really giving away books at a loss, this young man, what a good man......"

"Yes, a tael of silver, I want to buy it, I want to study, I want to have a good ......"

Suddenly, dozens of people crowded into the store together, and after a while, one person came out with one or even several books satisfied.

I really only spent a tael of silver to buy books, and these people are like dreaming, and they are floating under their feet when they come out.

With the beginning of the first crab eating, they became the best publicity.

So in the following time, the store kept coming, and in just one morning, a thousand books were sold out.

"Actually...... Sold out so quickly? Qin Ming was a little shocked.

On the contrary, the steward on the side was very calm, Qin Ming said: "Aren't you shocked that it was sold out so quickly?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at Qin Ming and said, "Childe, compared to the fast selling of books, I am even more shocked that you are really selling so cheaply." ”

"Uh......" Qin Ming was speechless.

The steward sighed: "It's strange that no one buys it when it's so cheap." But Childe, you've lost a lot, how much money do you have to lose......"

Qin Ming thought to himself when he heard this: Loss? 10,000 books, the cost of 1,000 taels of silver, earned 9,000 taels of silver, still a loss? A book of great profits.

However, he said: "In order for the world to study, what if my son loses money?" ”

Hearing this, the steward bowed in admiration: "Childe, you are really a saint!" The latest chapter of "Rebirth of the Joyful King's Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
