Chapter 61 Piracy is rampant
"So fast?" Shen Chongming was a little surprised, he thought that the 10,000 copies sold in the capital would take three days, but he didn't expect them to be sold out in just one night.
"10,000 volumes, 300 texts. Grandpa God, three thousand taels of silver, you have made a fortune. Shi Bingzheng said dumbfounded, Xiao Pengcheng was also excited, and without waiting for Shen Chongming to speak, he said impatiently: "There is still no need to ask what to do, immediately print another 50,000 copies, and the price of each copy should also mention 350 Wen!" "He looks like a profiteer who loves money like his life.
"Nope." Shen Chongming vetoed it without thinking about it. The book is selling so well that there will be pirated copies in a few days, and when the time comes, too many copies will be smashed in your hands.
"Ah, why, Brother Shen, how can you push the silver out?" Xiao Pengcheng said with a puzzled face, and Shi Bingzheng and Xiao Sanzi also looked at Shen Chongming with doubts.
"I can't explain it clearly for a while, little third son, you immediately go back and gather the shopkeepers of the printing workshop, just say that the president has a good plan to make a fortune, and ask them if they are interested." Shen Chongming said in a hurry, while he was already hurriedly getting dressed.
"Brother Shen, you're not in class?" Shi Bingzheng hurriedly asked when he saw that he was going out. "Therefore, if the professor asks, he will say that my head hurts and I sleep!" Shen Chongming said casually.
"Ladies and gentlemen, did you say that the kid surnamed Shen in the early morning had something to do with us?" The shopkeeper of the teacher's workshop wondered.
"You still need to ask, didn't Director Xiao say that there is something to make a fortune to find us, just wait patiently." The shopkeeper of the education workshop has always seen that the shopkeeper of the teaching workshop is not pleasing to the eye, and immediately said disdainfully.
The shopkeeper of the workshop originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw that everyone was restless, he didn't look at himself, so he had to sit there and not speak.
It didn't take much effort, Shen Chongming walked in from the backyard with a piece of paper, "Hehe, you've been waiting for a long time." ”
"I've seen President Shen." When the God of Wealth arrived, all the shopkeepers hurriedly got up to salute.
Shen Chongming is not the kind of polite person, as soon as he sat down, he said: "Everyone, everyone must know about last night's sales, 10,000 copies, 3,000 taels of silver." ”
As soon as I talked about this, everyone got excited. I account for 20%, and more than 30 are divided equally between each of them is nearly 20 taels, and the capital has been earned, and the remaining 40,000 copies are pure profits, and I feel excited when I think about it.
"The market prospect is very good, just now Shen made a rough estimate, and your income in just a few days is nearly more than 100 taels, Shen is here to congratulate you." Shen Chongming said pretly.
When more than 30 shopkeepers saw him like this, they all had one idea in their hearts, this kid is too good at pretending, why don't you say that we earn more than 100 taels and you earn more than 10,000 taels yourself? The difference is a hundred times, and I feel angry when I think about it, why isn't it myself who takes the big head?
"Just yesterday, Shen took another big deal, and he really couldn't care about such a small thing as selling books, so he decided to give this money-making business to you, I don't know what you think?" Shen Chongming glanced at everyone with a smile and said.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the shopkeepers, who were still a little interested, immediately widened their eyes and looked like they were fascinated by money.
"Dare to ask President Shen, how do you plan to give this business to me?" The shopkeeper of the teacher was the first to ask, this person has no city government, and he is not like others who are obviously eager to know how to make a concession, but he does not speak.
"This book was bought by Shen with money, so all the contents in the book are Shen's things, so there is a saying that this time it is divided into two. What Shen has to do this time is to buy his property to you, and from now on, you can print as much as you want, print as much as you want, and sell at whatever price you want, all of which have nothing to do with Shen, so everyone knows it. ”
Of course, it's clear, this is clearly taking out what everyone knows to cheat money, and fools will be fooled. Thinking about it, the shopkeeper turned his head to look at the sky outside, well, the wind and the sun were beautiful, it was a good weather.
Everyone also had the same idea as him, and they all did their own thing, but they didn't look at Shen Chongming. Don't say you don't want to do it, even if you want to do it, we won't care about you anymore if there is no new book, the rubbing impression of the whole book has been done, just wait for the day when you have the time to quietly open the print, and then sell all the silver yourself!
"Hehe, as Shen said just now, this book is Shen's property, and no one has the right to reprint it without Shen's permission, otherwise, Shen will definitely sue him to the yamen, by the way, just last night Shen and Lord Yin of the Mansion and Liu Qianhu of Jinyiwei talked about this matter when they were drinking in Wenxianglou!" Shen Chongming was vicious, he had to deter them at one time, otherwise there would be no way to do the things on the side, and let them profit in vain.
Sure enough, as soon as he said that he had dinner with Lord Fu Yin and the thousand households of Jinyiwei, the faces of all the shopkeepers suddenly changed, and the eyes that looked at Shen Chongming were also full of awe, I didn't see that this kid surnamed Shen has such a wide range of ways, even if he knows Lord Fu Yin, he actually knows the thousand households of Jinyiwei, he is really a character that cannot be provoked!
"Dare to ask President Shen, I don't know how much silver you want to buy for this book?" The shopkeeper who educated people asked cautiously, for fear that Shen Chongming's lion would open his mouth and cut off everyone's financial resources.
"Hehe, this time everyone cooperated so happily, Shen is not an ungrateful person, originally all of your two percent of the wind and rain belonged to Shen, and everyone gave one hundred and fifty taels of silver each, you can do whatever you want with this book. Of course, Shen will also send a sales plan to ensure that you have a wide range of financial resources! Shen Chongming picked up the paper placed next to him and said.
One in and one out, that is two hundred and fifty taels, plus the cost of advancing in, it is two hundred and seventy taels, this price is not low.
But thinking about the sky-high price of 300 taels per book, these 270 taels are really not a lot of money, not to mention that 80 taels of them are not the silver they paid. At that time, as long as 600 copies are sold, the silver will be returned, so it is very cost-effective.
"Then President Shen, will you still sell this book to others?" This is also a big problem, if there is one more person who prints, the fewer books he will sell, and of course the income will be reduced accordingly.
"Hehe, Shen uses his reputation to guarantee that he will only sell it to you, and others will not sell it even if they pay 10,000 taels of silver!" Shen Chongming said awe-inspiringly, as long as someone pays a thousand taels, we will sell it, the question is will someone come out?
Everyone discussed for a while, and they all felt that this deal was cost-effective, so the descendant of Cangjie, who had the highest seniority, got up and said: "Since the president takes care of us so much, we can't help but know how to raise it, we did this deal." ”
"Okay, without further ado, everyone will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and Shen will draft the contract!" Shen Chongming said with a smile, wow, yes, in less than half an hour, nearly five thousand taels of cash have been put into the account, God, save this person who is very good at making money.
How many years old are they all, and there are at least more than 20 guys under them, and that family has no savings? This is not less than an hour of effort, everyone with cash with cash, with silver tickets with silver tickets to return to the good restaurant again, silver as soon as the contract is signed, the deal is closed.
Picking up the sales strategy temporarily copied by Shen Chongming, all the shopkeepers nodded in unison, insightfully, this hardcover book specifically for dignitaries is really good, the price of one or two silver per book is not too expensive for others, and the silver invested in this alone can be earned, it seems that a monthly income of more than 1,000 taels is not an unattainable dream.
As soon as he sent away the satisfied shopkeepers, he saw Xiao Pengcheng and Shi Bingzheng walking over quickly, Shen Chongming was stunned and puzzled: "Why are you here?" ”
"Hehe, as soon as the professor heard that Brother Shen had a headache, he ordered the junior brother and Ah Binghui to take care of you, so the two of us also ran over the wall to see what Brother Shen was going to do when you fell to the ground." Xiao Pengcheng said with a smile.
Shen Chongming saw that there were really ash stains on the clothes of these two boys, and they really escaped over the wall. "Come in, let your eyes open, hehe." Thinking of the mountain of copper coins in the bedroom of the shopkeeper Ge, Shen Chongming couldn't help but laugh.
"Wow, Brother Shen, this is all our money?" Shi Bingzheng's eyes were straight, and three thousand taels sounded surprised, which looked even more terrifying.
"Hehe, not only these, but also those!" As he spoke, Shen Chongming pointed to the small cloth bag placed on the table, which contained four thousand two hundred taels of silver tickets and several hundred taels of silver.
When Xiao Pengcheng heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to untie the cloth bag and saw that the white silver suddenly dazzled his eyes. "So much silver, Brother Shen, where did this come from, didn't you say that it only sold more than 10,000 copies?" Xiao Pengcheng made a slight estimate and couldn't help but be surprised. Obediently, the silver in this small cloth bag alone adds up to more than 4,000 taels, and if you count that hill, there must be 10,000 taels!
"Brother Shen, you're simply giving away the silver to others." Hearing Shen Chongming say about the copyright transfer, Xiao Pengcheng was so angry that if it was in his own hands, he would have to earn him 100,000 taels of silver!
"Hehe, to give you a thorough understanding, in a few days various versions of "Golden Vase Plum Words" will be available, and then sell it for the time being, not to mention whether it can be sold at a high price of 300 Wen, I am afraid that the printed books will have to be smashed in my hands, and more than 10,000 copies yesterday have almost filled the market in the capital." Shen Chongming explained with a smile.
"Filled? No, as far as I can see, all 50,000 copies are about the same. Xiao Pengcheng has a business vision and said with certainty.
"You're right, but after last night's frenzied sales, this book will fall into a cold silence in the capital within a few days, and it is impossible to sell more than 10,000 copies in one night. But a few days later, when more people wanted to buy it, rampant piracy had already appeared, but the competition was fierce, and the price of our 300 wen would definitely be at a disadvantage. ”
