Chapter 309: Hot Book Society

"A hundred copies of each of the twenty books?" Someone in the crowd raised their voices. "Shopkeeper, there must be 2,000 books here, how long will it take you to print?"

"A hundred copies of each of the twenty books?" Wang Tian was also stunned for a moment when he heard this number, to be honest, he didn't expect that the first order that came in would be so big, no matter how fast Rao is movable type printing, it would not be easy to print two thousand books.

Fortunately, Chen Fei arranged many craftsmen in advance, and subdivided the operation process of each craftsman, and printed books in the way of assembly operations, I believe the efficiency will be much faster.

Two thousand books are a lot, but they are not so much that they cannot be printed.

"Good! I took over this business, and this brother went to the shopkeeper to register, pay the deposit, and pick up the book in seven days! Wang Tian took the order, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for the merchant to register.

The merchant hesitated slightly, but finally took a step forward and went to register.

Wang Tian saw that someone took the lead, and immediately threw out a heavy bomb: "In order to thank this friend for becoming the first customer of our new business, I decided to give him ten stacks of bamboo paper!" ”

There are 100 pieces of bamboo paper in a pile, and 10 pieces are 1,000 pieces, according to the price of bamboo paper, at least a few taels of silver, and these papers may not be able to be bought with money!

The preferential policies given by Wang Tian deeply stimulated some businessmen in the team, and everyone bought and sold paper, and more or less did a little business of selling books, so they also became very interested in the new business of the book club.

Most of the rest of the people were uninterested, skeptical businessmen, and servants sent out by large families to buy paper, and printing books was not of much interest to them, but they kept the news in their hearts, and planned to tell their masters when they returned.

After registering, those who were interested in printing and buying books lost their minds about buying paper, and hurried home to collect sample books, intending to send them for printing.

The rest of the people are pushing and shouting to start a new round of queuing to buy paper as usual.

Within two hours, all the paper in the store was swept away, and the paper business was suspended, and no new paper would be replenished until tomorrow.

But today the bookstore did not close early, because there was one more business, and it was natural to extend the operating hours.

After noon, the merchants who had received the news and the servants who had received the orders came to the bookstore with books and asked for them to be printed. Among them, there are many scholars who think they are talented, holding the books they have written, holding them high to be printed, and they want to spread them all over the world.

In a short period of time, the originally empty bookstore became overcrowded again, and everyone was noisy and unhappy.

That is, on this day, the Chen Ji Book Society was spread out again, almost overnight, all the students in Chang'an City knew that the Chen Ji Book Club could print books, and the books were guaranteed to be published within seven days, and there was no problem with how many books they wanted!

Publish a book! How many students dream of this? If you can really publish a book, then many of the things you have written may be spread all over the world, maybe one day you will become a famous writer all over the world, and when the time comes, will there be less official position and money?

Almost all of the students went crazy!

The price of printing books is not expensive, but it is not said how cheap it is, students from ordinary families can print a dozen or so happy books, but those rich sons and daughters are different, they don't care about money, they only care about reputation, if they can break out of their reputation, then it doesn't matter how much money they spend.

Regardless of whether they have money or not, they swarm to Chen Ji Books to ask for books to be printed.

Because there were too many people in the store, Wang Tian couldn't greet him, so he had to send someone to ask Chen Fei for help.

Chen Fei went to the book club as soon as he received the news, and then asked his subordinates to quiet the noisy people.

It's still the old rule to do things, and limit the printing of books every day, otherwise it's not just a matter of speed, and even the paper will not be available.

At the same time, Chen Fei also calculated the money on hand, and planned to expand his production again, according to the current trend, his production scale is not even satisfied with Chang'an City, let alone spreading to the surrounding cities, it is impossible!

"In this way, they will print books in the future, let's do this." Chen Fei hooked up with Wang Tian's shoulder and secretly chatted with him about something.

Wang Tian was puzzled when he heard this, and asked Chen Fei curiously: "Ah Fei, why is this?" Is it feasible? ”

Chen Fei showed a hint of an inexplicable smile, looked at the people who were looking forward to it and were in turmoil, turned to Wang Tian and said, "Believe me, it's absolutely possible, I still have new business to expand." ”

Chen Fei stayed and chatted with Wang Tian a lot, mostly about business matters. There are not many people Chen Fei can really believe, and there are only three brothers who grew up with him.

Hu Kang is now in charge of managing his factory, Wang Tian is in charge of his external business, both of them are very serious and responsible, Chen Fei also made a very heavy wish to them, in the future, they will inevitably develop together, eat meat and drink wine.

As for Hu Di, he has been a little absent-minded recently, and Chen Fei didn't care about him, and asked him what he wanted in the future.

After explaining clearly to Wang Tian, Chen Fei left, and now he has a lot of miscellaneous things on hand, building houses, expanding production, choosing shops, he doesn't want to be busy. Even the task given to him by Li Shimin could not be completed in a short time, and he planned to report to the Strange Workshop in a few days.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't give him a deadline, but gave him an excuse to be lazy.

After Chen Fei left, Wang Tian cleared his throat and explained the number of daily printing restrictions, and then threw out another message. "If you are willing to disclose the copyright to the bookstore, you can arrange for the printing of the book in advance.

"Copyright?" The new term has left many people scratching their heads.

Wang Tian explained the meaning of copyright, and then waited for everyone to agree.

Everyone was silent after listening to Wang Tian's words. There is a slight difference between the copyright mentioned by Wang Tian and the copyright of later generations, what he means is that the person who wrote the book allows the book club to retain a certain right to use the book after printing, and can exhibit it to everyone on the platform provided by the book club, or sell it. Fifty-fifty percent of the profits from the sale.

To put it bluntly, it is the business model of the library, which is also a new business model that Chen Fei wants to create.

People in this era are too eager to read, and the knowledge of this era is too scarce, if it is possible, Chen Fei wants to promote the fate gears of this era, everyone has books to read, everyone can learn knowledge, isn't it beautiful?

Of course, books can be borrowed for free, but a deposit is still required. And if he loses the borrowed book, be careful that he sends someone to collect the debt!

In short, Chen Fei's starting point is good, but it is still mixed with a little utilitarian thought, well, it is really a little bit......
