Chapter 454 - Still Making Money
The troublesome booksellers left one after another, and when they left, they seemed to be quite happy.
The people who watched the excitement at the door of Datang Bookstore were very strange when they saw this situation, and at the same time they were a little disappointed, because they didn't see the excitement.
Everyone shook their heads and dispersed, and the ninth princess in the distance was sitting in the carriage, and after seeing this situation, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, she was very curious about what Qin Tian had said to these booksellers, and she was able to settle them.
"Go figure out what's going on."
After the Ninth Princess ordered, someone immediately went down to investigate, and this matter was easy to investigate, so after half a pillar of incense, the Nine Princesses' people ran back.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that it was the Marquis of Qin who promised to sell them movable type printing and movable type, so that they could also reduce costs, so they agreed to leave."
Hearing this, the Ninth Princess immediately frowned: "This Qin Tian, is he really stupid or fake stupid?" ”
The Ninth Princess was a little angry at Qin Tian's approach, because, teaching others what she relied on to survive in this way, although she could earn a sum of money, but she was not competitive, how could she make money in the future?
If the price of other people's books is similar to that of Datang Bookstore, or even lower, then why should customers come to Datang Bookstore to buy them?
The ninth princess sighed softly: "Go back." ”
For Qin Tian's approach, the ninth princess was quite disappointed in her heart, and she had a feeling that she didn't want to care about him.
The carriage of the ninth princess walked back, Qin Tian walked out of the bookstore, and when he looked up, he saw the carriage that was moving away, and suddenly, it was as if nothing had hit his heart.
The noisy cicadas in the distance are the most likely to disturb the mind.
Time passed slowly, and the books in Datang Bookstore were still selling quickly, as long as they were printed at the printing house and pulled in, they would be able to be bought out immediately.
This situation continued until other bookstores followed suit with price reductions.
Other bookstores have reduced their prices, naturally some people want to get closer, or they want to buy cheap in other bookstores, although the business here of Datang Bookstore is quite good, but compared with the previous situation, it has not happened again.
Although the ninth princess was angry with Qin Tian and didn't want to care about his, she would occasionally inquire about it.
Knowing that Qin Tian's Datang Bookstore's business was not as hot as before, she immediately snorted: "I thought I was smart, and now I know that I regret it, right?" ”
The ninth princess said, faintly worried in her heart, but in the face of this situation, she couldn't give any good way.
At this time, Datang Bookstore launched a book rental activity.
On this morning, when the weather was not very hot, there were many people and many readers gathered in front of the Datang Bookstore in Xishi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, during the opening of Datang Bookstore, many friends came to support, thank you very much, and in order to thank you for your support, Datang Bookstore launched a book rental activity, this activity is very simple, that is, any book in it, everyone can spend a little money to borrow, the rules of leasing are like this, first of all, the borrower needs to take the throne in our bookstore to see his real situation, such as age, life, address, etc., and then, pay a deposit of 500 yuan, if you don't borrow books in the future, We'll give it back to you, so you don't have to worry about that, so you can borrow the book when you're sure. ”
"If you borrow a book, within five days, it is five yuan, within twenty days, it is ten yuan, if you do not return the book within twenty days, it is twenty yuan, and if you do not return the book after thirty days, then your deposit will be confiscated by us, of course, except in special circumstances......"
The person in charge of Datang Bookstore told everyone about the borrowing of books, and after saying this, many people began to think about it in their hearts.
If they buy a book, it may take about 500 yuan, and some good books may need to be about a consistent price, which is a lot of pressure for many people.
And people who really read books can't just buy one book, in that case, they will be even more stressed.
But if they borrow a book to read, if they finish reading a book in five days, they can read a hundred books for 500 yuan, and if they want to buy a hundred books, it will cost dozens of yuan.
In both cases, which one is more advantageous for them, it is clear at a glance, right?
Spending the least amount of money and reading the most books is a pie-in-the-sky thing.
The scholars were more or less smart, and when they figured out the situation, they immediately rushed over.
"I want to register, my name is ......"
"I'm going to register ...... too"
Reading is a luxury for many people, and nowadays you can read for a small amount of money, and as long as you are not stupid, you will choose this method.
There were a lot of people who came to register, and from morning to dusk, there were still people waiting in front of Datang Bookstore to register.
There are a lot of people, and it looks like there will be more and more.
Nine Princesses' Mansion.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Datang Bookstore has actually started to rent books......
The maid told the ninth princess about the situation of the Datang bookstore, and after finishing speaking, the maid also pouted: "Books can be rented and read, and they are very cheap, who will buy books in the future, I really don't know how Qin Xiaohou does business." ”
When the maid said this, the ninth princess suddenly moved, and then laughed: "Clever, really smart, no wonder he dared to sell movable type printing, it turned out that he had already kept this hand." ”
Hearing this, the maid was puzzled and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is it smart there?" ”
The ninth princess said: "You think, each registered person is five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to selling a book, just this deposit, it is not a small amount, this is not counted, let's see how much money a book can make in the end, a book, in terms of five hundred yuan, rent out a book, the price is about between five and ten yuan, some or something, it may be read in five days, these are five yuan, but some books that need to be studied will definitely not be finished within five days, that is ten yuan, or even more, we take ten yuan as an example, So, if 50 people borrow a book, the book will make about the same amount of money as if it were sold, and how many times can such a book be borrowed? For example, if they are so worn out that they can't read it, they can lend out at least 100 people, that is to say, a book can be rented out by renting it for another 500 wen than if they used to sell 500 wen for a book. ”
As soon as the ninth princess calculated the accounts, the maid immediately understood, originally a book was sold for 500 wen, and they made a profit, but if they rented it, they could earn another 500 wen, which was much more profitable than selling the book.
"Little Marquis Qin, you're really smart."
