"What's the matter?" Du Jinning sat down in the teahouse.

This is a teahouse opened in the west of Fucheng City, and it is not yet open at this time, and the teahouse is empty, but it is very convenient to talk about things.

"That's right, since your "Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon Babu", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were sold, some imitation scripts have begun to appear one after another. It's just that the author's level is not enough, write a thin two or three books, at most 100,000 words will be over, the plot is not exciting enough, and it can't set off any big waves, so I didn't tell you. ”

Du Jinning nodded.

It's not surprising that there are works that follow the trend, everywhere. Moreover, the books written by people in this era are basically short stories of 20,000 or 30,000 words. Those who have written it know that if you ask someone who is used to writing short stories, you ask him to write a long story of millions or even millions of words, and he has not practiced one or two works, and he can't do it at all at once. Complex clues, numerous characters, and a series of plot designs will make him feel a mess.

However, two years is enough time to brew a high-level follow-up work.

Sure enough, Yao Shuqi's next words confirmed Du Jinning's conjecture: "Now there is a script called "The Legend of the Seven Sword Heroes". If it's just a script, it's not a worry, but they also adopted our model, first telling stories in teahouses, and then printing them out and selling them in bookstores. And in order to grab customers, whether it is a teahouse or a script, the charging price is lower than ours. ”

Du Jinning asked, "Then does it have any impact on our teahouse and bookstore business?" ”

"Not yet, because those who listen to books in the teahouse or buy books in the bookstore have been deeply attracted by the plot, and they want to know what will happen next, but no one gave up us to go to the new teahouse to drink tea in order to save a few pennies. As for the script, I also asked the guys to inquire, and those who said that our script was too slow and not enough to read, so in addition to buying our script, I also bought the book "The Legend of Sword and Heaven". ”

Yao Shuqi sighed: "I'm worried about the future." If its reputation slowly rises, it is estimated that our customers will be taken away. After all, there are only a handful of people who have the money and leisure to listen to books, and if they go there, our source of customers will inevitably decrease. On the bookstore side, there are some customers who are shy in their pockets and insist on squeezing out a little money from their daily expenses to buy a book. If you buy the books over there, they don't necessarily buy our books. ”

He raised his head and looked at Du Jinning expectantly: "Young Master, what do you think?" ”

Du Jinning participated in the county examination and the government examination during this time, in order not to disturb Du Jinning, he kept suppressing this matter and did not say anything, and he also tried a lot of methods to solve it by himself. Helplessly, his ability is limited, and he can't come up with any good way to break his head. And the price war with the other party, Du Jinning had to agree, he didn't dare to assert himself, so he kept the problem down.

At this time, he was extremely hopeful that Du Jinning could come up with a good way.

If it had been before, he wouldn't have looked forward to it. Because Du Jinning is too young and has shallow knowledge, he has been nesting in such a small place in Lishui County, no matter how smart he is, he has little knowledge.

But after experiencing Zhou Dongping, he no longer has this kind of idea at all.

Although Du Jinning is young, what he sees and thinks of, the pattern is so big, how can he reach it like him?

Du Jinning asked, "Who wrote this book?" How many teahouses use it for books? Are these teahouses owned by a boss? What about bookstores? Who are their bosses? ”

These Yao Shuqi have already been checked.

He said unhurriedly: "The person who wrote this book is a poor Xiucai in his forties, I asked someone to inquire, it took him a whole year to write a part, and he took it to a trader named Peng Jiaxing who opened three teahouses to sell it, and Peng Jiaxing bought it at a high price. Peng Jiaxing immediately bought a bookstore and started according to our business model. This Peng Jiaxing is a local, his family is wealthy, mainly engaged in the silk business, and there are shops in his family in various counties. He opened two teahouses. However, if the effect of using this book is good, he may open it again, and it is possible to open it in the county. In this way, we will definitely compete for customers. ”

Du Jinning touched his chin, and then smiled: "It's okay, even if there is no Peng Jiaxing, there will still be Li Jiaxing, everyone sees that we are doing a good job, and there are people who follow along." As long as they are fair competition and have no means to do it, they can be ignored. ”

Normal business competition is inevitable, and it is impossible for them to monopolize culture and entertainment. Although the market is not large, what they need to do is not to fight to the death in a small pond, but to think about how to make this cake bigger. To make the cake bigger, there must be a prosperous cultural and entertainment market. It is wise to let it bloom.

"Ignore it?" Yao Shuqi was stunned, he didn't expect Du Jinning to react negatively.

Since Du Jinning is inactive, he has the responsibility to come up with a countermeasure.

He said: "I thought about it and thought about it, and thought of two countermeasures. One is that we also reduce the price, which is the same as his price. He has no price advantage, and he doesn't have a reputation like us, so this business naturally can't be done. Over time, he was defeated. On the other hand, we can buy a goulan tile shop and let them play "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In this way, our reputation will be even greater, and no matter what they do, they will not be able to defeat us. ”

Du Jinning was noncommittal, but turned to Lu Xiaobei and asked him, "What do you think?" ”

Lu Xiaobei first arched his hand to Yao Shuqi and said, "Shopkeeper Yao, let's discuss the matter." Please forgive me if I have offended in my words. ”

After saying this, he said: "I don't say the first one who doesn't reduce the price, just talk about the Goolan tile, I have been in the tile for several years, and I am most familiar with it." I don't think it's appropriate for the young master to set foot in the tile, the situation there is too complicated, and it's not good for the young master's reputation. ”

As soon as Lu Xiaobei said this, Yao Shuqi slapped his head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't think about it properly." ”

Goulan tile shop, but the place where the indecent people gathered, storytelling, performing arts, juggling, and even brothels, all gathered here, and the official eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were forbidden to enter this place.

Du Jinning is going to take a career in office, how can she become the boss of a hook column? Even if they are only buying pear orchards, it is not good to say.

He said apologetically to Du Jinning: "Remove this point, we won't get involved in the hook." ”

Du Jinning nodded.

The film and television industry is thriving in modern times, and she has not considered adapting works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into dramas in ancient times, so that the audience will be wider and she can make more money.

But the hook is something she doesn't want to be involved in. Although fame is one reason, it is more about the complexity of the industry.
