Chapter 349: Xibei Yapeng
"Boy, do you want to have a copy?" Whenever someone comes to buy something, the boss will habitually recommend it.
Although the vast majority of people will not be tempted to buy it, there are still some people who, after seeing the cover, can't help but think about it, and then buy the book back.
This proportion is not much, even if it is only 10%, it is still a very large number for bookstores with a daily flow of more than a few hundred people, and if each bookstore can sell at least a few dozen copies every day, it will be very terrifying if tens of thousands of bookstores in Fuso are combined.
So the question is, why is the bookstore owner so diligent and tireless in recommending such a book? There are so many books in his bookstore, why does the boss recommend these light?
Could it be that after seeing these lightness, the boss thinks it looks very good, and can't help but ask for human flesh?
Of course not, the boss didn't read a word at all from beginning to end, and he didn't have much interest in lightness, the reason why he worked tirelessly to give everyone the initiative to Amway was of course for the interests behind him.
An ordinary book is sold in a bookstore, and according to the convention, you can get 20% of the profit, that is, a book priced at 1000 yuan, the purchase price is about 800 yuan.
The same is true for the light purchase price, the cost of a light purchase price is 400 yuan, if it is purely dependent on sales profits, the boss is naturally impossible to sell so hard.
But what if these light purchases don't cost money?
What if these were light, and for every copy sold, they would still receive a subsidy of 99 yen?
Do you still remember the simple routine used by Boss Jia to promote his elves in Huaxia?
At this time, the simple people of Fusang still insisted on the basic routine of paying money to buy goods and making profits by selling them, and once the bookstore entered the book and could not sell it, it could only be smashed in the hands of the bookstore itself.
Therefore, bookstores generally do not dare to buy too many books, so as not to suffer huge losses.
However, the front-line salesman sent out by Dengeki Bunko said that they could sell it directly in the bookstore for free, and they did not need to pay a penny for the purchase price of the store owner, and they would come to collect these light products every once in a while, and then they only needed to count how many copies were sold in the store, and then settle the bill directly with the store owner.
Of course, if the store owner sells them all, all he needs is a phone call, and the front-line salespeople can immediately replenish the stock and then give the money.
Anyway, the shopkeeper sells these light, and there will be no loss at all, so the boss is of course willing to put these lights in the most conspicuous place.
But this is not enough for the store owner to become a salesman to sell, in addition to the traditional profits, Boss Jia also sacrificed a routine of 99 yen for every copy sold.
How, does this routine look very familiar?
That's how Didi and Kuaidi played back then, but now they are put on light sales by Boss Jia.
Therefore, a book worth 499 is light, and the store owner can net 199 yuan as long as he sells a copy, and the profit is much more than the others, and the store owner is of course willing to help sell these.
And the salesman of Dengeki Bunko didn't ask the store owner to sell hard, but just asked the store owner to sell a light sentence when someone checked out, and he didn't even need to praise how good the book was, but only needed to introduce the content of one sentence, and then show the cover to young readers.
There is not even a misleading element, which will not hurt the reputation of the bookstore in the slightest, and the store owners will naturally not refuse.
This routine looks simple, but the effect is quite obvious, young people are difficult not to be tempted by novelty things, coupled with the boss's hard selling, and when the first day closes, the boss has sold about 50 copies of the 200 copies that came into the store.
"50 copies, that's 10,000 yen!" The bookstore owner's eyes were smiling like a crescent moon, and a small bookstore like him, which was run by a single person, could make a profit of 10,000 yen a day, which was already very remarkable.
And the new Nintendo games that were sold for a day today add up to only 20,000 yen in profit.
Nintendo is definitely one of the most picky game companies, and the price of 4999 yen is actually only 100 yen of profit for the boss, which is not as much as the profit of a book that costs only 499.
If it weren't for the large number of players in the world, the total sales of game cartridges were huge, and the total profit was okay, the boss would want to throw these damn game cartridges away.

"I'll play the game first!" The first boy who bought "Sword Art Online" and felt the most, the first thing he did when he got home was naturally to take the newly bought game cartridge "Final Fantasy 5" and play it on GB.
But when the young man played in high spirits for half an hour, his expression was a little unhappy. He felt a little unsatisfied with the ending of Final Fantasy 5, and later he saw in the magazine that the GB version of Final Fantasy 5 might have more content for the ending.
That's what motivates him to spend another 4999 and buy a set of BG versions of Final Fantasy 5.
As it turned out, he was naΓ―ve, and the whole game was exactly the same as the FC version, without any changes or changes.
What's even worse is that in terms of operation, it actually continues the operation setting of FC, which leads to a very complicated operation on the handheld, which makes the teenager confused, and his interest is almost consumed.
"Let's find something else to do!" The boy sighed, now he is not interested in playing games for the time being, anyway, he knows the plot of the whole game, and he has played the process several times, and there is really no motivation at all.
So, the young man's eyes fell on the book he had just bought, called "Sword Art Online".
The boy turned the first page of the first volume of this book
"It's a game,
But it's not a joke."
- Akihiko Kayaba, designer of "SAO Sword Art Online".

Ten hours later
The boy no longer seemed to be able to perceive the changes in time and space, and even hunger could not be felt, and he read the book called Sword Art Online with hunger until the sky was completely darkened, so that he could not read the words on the page.
The boy realized that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and he had not eaten a bite of lunch and dinner.
But it didn't matter, the boy's first instinct was to turn on the lights and re-immerse himself in the world until he finished reading the last page.
"What! It's gone!! "When I saw that the protagonist Kirito successfully defeated the final boss, I was eager to see the follow-up story, and the boy who saw the scene of Kirito and Asuna getting together in reality actually found that it was gone.
"Grass! Broken Wood JJ! The young man wailed, looking at the "Sword Art Online" in his hand, and trembling with excitement all over his body.
The boy thought that his imagination was strong enough, but when he saw Sword Art Online, especially the games described in Sword Art Online, he found that his imagination was still too weak.
Human beings can actually enter a world of consciousness completely composed of dreams through brain waves and a helmet, and this world of consciousness has been made into a game, and when humans can carry out the most realistic exploration of the other world in their dreams, the whole person of the boy is completely impressed.
He read it on his knees.
"The author of this must be a god, his imagination is so great!!" The boy let out a heartfelt admiration, and then suddenly thought of something, and couldn't wait to turn the title page, wanting to see who the author of this book was.

"Xibei Yapeng! What a quirky surname, does Fuso have this surname? Seeing this name, the boy was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, this should be the author's pen name.
And what shocked the teenager even more was that the author, illustrations and characters of the entire book were all arranged by one person.
That is to say, this Xibei Yapeng is not only responsible for the content, but also responsible for painting and making characters, what a great god can do it!
