After a simple plan, Lin Yi and the three of them went their separate ways. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Early the next morning, Lin Yi came to Baiyun Street at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.
After hundreds of years of development, Baiyun Street has a large scale, and it is a prosperous trade area.
Everything you need for daily use in Baiyun Mountain, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other necessities of life are purchased here.
At the same time, the medicinal herbs, pills, exercise books, war paints, weapons and other things produced in Baiyun Mountain will also be traded here and circulated to the outside.
Compared with Baiyun Mountain, the atmosphere of fireworks here is much warmer.
In the early morning, the No. 1 street of Baiyun Street, all the way to No. 3 street, eight out of ten shops have already opened to welcome customers, and the vendors who came from afar last night or earlier took the list and walked the streets and alleys with a ticket of little brothers, and hurried to prepare what they needed so that they could be sold in other places.
The most popular at this time is Baiyun Street 2nd Street, where the main transactions are books, calligraphy and paintings, and antique utensils. Because of the blockbuster success of Dongxing Society, especially the popularity of this issue of the 'Goddess Says' magazine dominated by Liu Feiyan, the attraction of this place has greatly increased.
Most of the vendors who came from afar came for the current five magazines.
Because it is fresh enough, the content is also unprecedentedly attractive, coupled with Liu Feiyan's own topicality, and the commercial interests of this entertainment magazine, the new industry of magazines has been highly valued here in Baiyun Street.
When Lin Yi arrived at No. 2 Baiyun Street, a horse-drawn carriage was lying in the middle of the road, and a pot-bellied merchant was complaining to the owner of the book store.
The road was blocked, and Lin Yi had to stop.
The vendor was not satisfied that the goddess said that the paper quality of this issue was worse than the other, and some of the handwriting was still illegible.
The owner of the store smiled bitterly and persuaded him, they did not have the original version, and the quality of the things rubbed out of the second or third edition was naturally difficult to guarantee, and the amount of customers was getting bigger and bigger, and the time was urgent, and it was also a helpless move.
After listening to a few words, Lin Yi understood why Liu Dong was able to earn 150,000 Longyuan coins in just half a month with the Goddess Saying magazine.
He found himself caught up in a mistake of habitual thinking.
He knew that the Longyuan Continent did not have computer technology, and it was difficult to produce exquisite and exquisite magazine effects, so his initial idea was just to make a small amount of money through freshness and the fame of a few mountain flowers such as Liu Feiyan. In his opinion, as soon as they sell the magazine, all kinds of copycat piracy will quickly intervene, and the supply will exceed demand, and they will not be able to continue to make money.
Because of this kind of thinking, at the beginning, Lin Yi was just satisfied with making the first pot of gold, and he didn't think about the development of Dongxing Society at all.
But he misses an important point.
That is, there is no computer technology in this world, and there is no photocopying and scanning technology!
The technology of this continent is still at the stage of engraving and rubbing! Therefore, even if others have the intention to pirate copycats, it is not easy.
Because of the limitations of technology, the price difference between each version is huge!
After figuring out this key point, Lin Yi immediately figured out why Liu Dong was able to earn a good income.
From this point of view, the value of the batch of goods detained by Qin Peng is really not small!
Because it was the first edition, it was a valuable commodity in its own right, much more valuable than what the merchant was buying at the moment.
This made Lin Yi more confident in pulling Kaohsiung into the water.
Lin Yi glanced at the pot-bellied vendor gratefully, squeezed over from the side and went straight to the 'Kaohsiung Treasure Store'.
There is no doubt that this shop is Kaohsiung's.
Like Qin Peng, Kaohsiung is also a third-grade disciple of Baiyun Mountain, of course, in a few days, after Baiyun Mountain's recruitment of new disciples is over, they will be fourth-grade students.
Because martial arts cultivation is a difficult and long process, it takes ten years for the disciples of the sect to become graduates.
After ten years, if you successfully enter the martial arts realm, you can continue to stay in the sect for further study. If you fail to achieve this achievement, you will be arranged by the sect to have a graduation ceremony, leave the sect, and leave the limited resources of the sect to potential and talented newcomers.
Just like Qin Hong, he also had to come out of the sect to find a job in the Lin family because he didn't successfully enter the martial arts realm.
Kaohsiung is also a well-known bad boy, but his vision is obviously a little longer than Qin Peng, and he knows that it is not a good way out to be fooling around in Baiyun Mountain all the time, so he and his brothers rented a shop here on Baiyun Street and started a small business.
Helping him take care of the store was his second uncle Gao Shou, who occasionally came to visit Kaohsiung after his cultivation in Baiyun Mountain.
Lin Yi's luck is good, Kaohsiung happened to be in the store today.
But Lin Yi felt that his second uncle Gao Shou should not be very welcome to the boss of Kaohsiung.
Because the bandit atmosphere in Kaohsiung is too heavy!
The huge man who is nearly two meters tall, with a bare left arm, deliberately showing his teeth and claws, is still a cockscomb hairstyle that rises to the sky, and he looks like a gangster leader!
What's more, he is surrounded by a group of hanger brothers, the posture is very scary, the guests think this is a black store at a glance, which one dares to come in?!
When Lin Yi came, there was not a single customer in the store.
Lin Yi was obviously the first guest today, Kaohsiung was very happy, bored, he immediately turned into an enthusiastic shopkeeper, and greeted him politely: "Brother, what do you need to buy? Come on, come on, take a look first, there are pills, exercise books, and magazines." ā
As he spoke, he personally brought Lin Yi a cup of tea and welcomed him into the store.
Lin Yi was a little surprised by Kaohsiung's easy-going.
Among the information he collected, Kaohsiung had a lot of negative evaluations, and some people even said that he was the kind of monster who would bite people if he didn't agree with him
Now it seems that the rumors are clearly fallacious.
"I'm from Dongxing Society, and I'm also a disciple of Baiyun Mountain, and I came here to talk about some small business with Senior Brother Kaohsiung. Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions.
"So you agree with the price we offered?"
As soon as Kaohsiung heard about Dongxing Society, he immediately became interested, he had already talked to Liu Dong a few days ago, asking for a batch of goods, and he was an acquaintance. But the price they gave was too low, and Liu Dong did not immediately agree.
"The price is negotiable, and the most important thing is to be friends with Senior Brother Kaohsiung. ā
Lin Yi replied politely, and once again sorted out the words and deeds of pulling Kaohsiung into the water in his heart.
