Chapter 82: Marketing
"Well, it's not bad, if the paper of this book can be used better in the future, it will be more perfect. ”
In terms of quality, this is obviously better than Wang Jiji's words, and the shopkeeper Zhou is really attentive.
But Lin Yu was worried in his heart, the merchants of Great Xia did not have any awareness of copyright at present, if "Liang Zhu" became popular, other studies would inevitably be pirated and printed, and then taken out and sold.
There's no way to contain this.
But if the problem is solved from the source, for example, the paper is used better, and the printing process is raised to a higher level, those pirate dealers will have to weigh the cost of piracy.
In this world, most people who love to read scripts are not people with a little money at all, on the contrary, literati take face very seriously, and rarely buy pirated scripts.
However, some children from poor families, because they can't afford to buy them, will choose to buy pirated scripts, but there are not many such people after all.
All the children of the poor family want is to study hard, work hard to cultivate the books of the mind, and gain fame and glory to their ancestors, where is there still time to read the book.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for pirate traders to take advantage of this profit.
Shopkeeper Zhou was a little confused, if the quality of the pages of the book was improved, the cost would be much higher, and according to the current specifications, a lot of silver could be saved.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, you don't know anything about this......"
Afterwards, Lin Yu told the shopkeeper Zhou his thoughts, and the latter's eyes gradually lit up.
Marvel in your heart.
"Lin Gongzi is talented!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was once again impressed by Lin Yu, and his words solved the worries he had never mentioned to Lin Yu in his heart.
Lin Yu moved a chair and sat outside the imperial study, waiting for the scene of the book being snapped up.
Half an hour......
An hour passed, and what puzzled the shopkeeper Zhou was that not many literati came to buy the script, and even if there were, they had to take it twice, and they had no desire to buy it.
Instead, he asked, "Can there be a book of words from a talented man with a king's foundation."
Lin Yu was not in a hurry, but the shopkeeper Zhou was in a hurry, for the big sale of Liang Zhu's script this time, he directly threw Wang Genji's script aside, and put his body and mind on "Liang Zhu".
But if he can't sell more than 100 copies today, he will probably vomit blood.
The quality of the book of "Liang Zhu", judging from the countless amazing books read by Zhou Ziqing, will definitely be a popular book.
"Lin Gongzi, you see...... What's wrong with this?" sweat oozed from Shopkeeper Zhou's forehead.
"Publicity?"
Thinking of a possibility, Lin Yu suddenly darkened his face, looked at Shopkeeper Zhou and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, how did Wang Genji's words sell before?"
Shopkeeper Zhou frowned and said, "It's the same as now......"
"When did Wang Genji's words start to sell?" Lin Yu asked.
"In May. Shopkeeper Zhou said.
"When will it be a big sale?" Lin Yu's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Last week or so......"
Shopkeeper Zhou was even more puzzled, and when he saw Lin Yu's face becoming more and more difficult to look at, his body trembled unconsciously.
Now it's almost November, and Wang Genji's script has been published half a year ago, if he wants to earn the first pot of gold, he has to wait for half a year?
Lin Yu originally thought that the shopkeeper of the Imperial Study Zhai Zhou must have extraordinary means to operate Wang Jiji's words to such a point.
Unexpectedly, it was actually just waiting for the rabbit to wait for others to buy it one by one, and then as time went by, there were more people who watched it, and the sales naturally rose.
But Lin Yu, he can't wait, he is penniless now, he wants to make money to pay off his debts, and he wants to make money to improve his living conditions.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, gather the guys in your study immediately, I have a task to arrange for them. Lin Yu knew that he couldn't sit still.
If you don't take the initiative, God knows when you'll be able to make money.
Shopkeeper Zhou, mistake him!
I don't even know the most basic marketing methods, Kai Nima's study, what a lot of shit luck I have with Wang Genji to make so much money.
"Good, good. ”
Shopkeeper Zhou nodded again and again, this is Chen Gongzi's friend, he doesn't dare to slack off, and he is now in a hurry, just to sell the script quickly.
Otherwise, it will be a loss to grandma's house.
After all, Lin Yu's dividends account for the majority, but there is no cost in the early stage, it is all his Zhou Ziqing advance, he knows that Lin Yu has some skills, so he is also happy to let Lin Yu arrange it.
Shopkeeper Zhou gathered the guys in the bookstore, and even the guys in the warehouse called them all together, and all of them stood in two rows.
Their faces were full of doubts at the moment, and they didn't know what important thing the shopkeeper had to order when he suddenly summoned them.
Lin Yu visually inspected it, there were eight guys in total, and the manpower was barely enough.
Lin Yu didn't talk nonsense with them, and said directly: "You must be very familiar with Wuling City, right?"
"Familiar, squinting your eyes can find your way home. ”
A few guys looked at each other and smiled. They come from a poor family, and it is not easy to find a job in the city, no matter what kind of job, it is the most basic requirement to be familiar with Wuling City.
"That's good!"
Lin Yu nodded and said: "From now on, the eight of you, go out from the imperial study, each choose a direction, find a place where the literati gather the most, and publicize the book "Liang Zhu", just say that Lin Yu's new script is freshly baked, and if you sell a script afterwards, the eight of you will get ten yuan." ”
"Shhh
A few guys gasped, their eyes widened, if they sold a book, they could get ten pennies, and the average score was a little more than a penny.
If a thousand copies were sold, each of them would have more than a tael of silver.
"Really, really?"
Several of them couldn't believe that Shopkeeper Zhou was notoriously picky, and it was impossible for him to be so generous, so it was a little difficult to look at Shopkeeper Zhou confidently.
Shopkeeper Zhou's face was unusually ugly, as if he had eaten fly feces, and he seemed to hear the sound of his heart dripping blood.
But when Lin Yu spoke, he had no choice but to laugh and say, "Really!"
"Okay, let's go, I'm familiar with ...... west of the city."
"My city is ...... east"
Suddenly, the eight guys of the imperial study, under the temptation of silver, all went out to publicize.
When the people were gone, and only Lin Yu and Zhou were left in the imperial study, the latter looked at Lin Yu puzzled: "Lin Gongzi, can't the money of those hired workers be deducted from the profits of the old man......"
"Shopkeeper Zhou, how about you and I make a bet?" Lin Yu bypassed the topic and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou.
Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What kind of bet? The old man has no interest in this. ”
"Huh!"
Lin Yu smiled, since Shopkeeper Zhou refused to take the bait, he had no choice but to give up and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou thinks that this "Liang Zhu" script, how many copies can be sold in three days?"
