Chapter 46: Marketing Plans

In the next few days, Yunyi's life was quite comfortable.

When busy, a pile of bamboo paper, an inkstone, a pen and a snake, wanton swaying.

In your spare time, a cup of tea, half a light wine, leaning on the window and looking into the distance, enjoy the tranquility.

Although the anomaly he encountered a few days ago made him faintly worried.

However, nothing happened for a few days, which made his heart relax.

After many days of hard work, the last 70,000 words of the first volume of "Dream of Red Mansions" were finally copied by him.

In the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was bright, Shen Youwei hurriedly got up and made breakfast for Yunyi.

"Then I'll go, you stay home alone and stay safe."

After breakfast, Yun Yi took the kettle handed by Shen Youwei, explained softly, and walked towards the entrance of the village with Shi Shiran carrying the bookcase.

Since it was still early, the temperature in the mountain village was not too high.

In order to exercise, Yunyi gave up riding an ox cart and chose to walk to the county seat.

Walked and stopped all the way, until the sun hung high in the treetops, Yunyi came to the door of the plum blossom cottage out of breath.

"Shopkeeper Su, Liu Ruyan, the girl from Xiaoxiang Painting Boat, asked me to come and buy a book called "Dream of Red Mansions", I don't know how much it costs?"

"Prince Wang, I'm really sorry! The Dream of Red Mansions you are about to buy has not yet been printed, so please wait a few more days. ”

"Not in print yet? It can't be, right? Miss Liu said that the writing is very good, so I came to buy it! ”

"Wang Gongzi doesn't know, our store did launch a free trial version of only 30,000 words a few days ago, and what Miss Liu reads should be the trial version."

"Free trial? This "Dream of Red Mansions" is very strange, and it must be very good-looking when you think about it, which is why I am so confident. ”

"Wang Gongzi is wise, this "Dream of Red Mansions" is a masterpiece of Cao Xueqin and Cao's painstaking efforts, since you dare to read it for free, you are naturally very confident."

"Listening to what Shopkeeper Su said, I really have to see what is so special about this book."

Hearing this, Yun Yi couldn't help but wonder.

This fish seems to have taken the bait.

Really.

As soon as Wang Gongzi's words fell, Su Xiaoxiao opened his mouth happily.

"Our store now has a free trial version, if you want to see it, you only need to pay a deposit of ten cents."

"If the son is satisfied with it, the ten yuan can be used as a deposit for the new book, and the purchase price of the fifteen yuan can be directly deducted at that time."

"If the son is not satisfied after the trial reading, you only need to return the trial book, and the store will refund the deposit of ten cents on the spot."

When Wang Gongzi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Books such as travelogues, he usually buys a lot.

It's just that the quality of these books is uneven, which causes him to waste a lot of money.

Now this "Dream of Red Mansions" can not only be read for free, but also can return the deposit if he is not satisfied, which can't help but increase his interest.

It's not a good deal!

"In that case, quickly bring a roll to my son."

……

Yun Yi raised his feet and entered the door, and saw a prince in a fancy costume walking out happily with a notebook, thinking that it was the prince just now.

"Dream of Red Mansions has not yet ...... It turned out to be Yun Gongzi! I've got you covered! ”

Su Xiaoxiao was just halfway through her words, and when she looked up and saw that it was Yunyi, she hurriedly greeted her from behind the counter.

"My Yun Gongzi! If you don't come again, I'll have to come to the door to urge the draft! ”

Although it was just a joke, the tone was very much like a deep resentful wife whose husband had not returned for a long time.

"It seems that the early publicity of Shopkeeper Su has been very successful!"

Regarding Su Xiaoxiao's complaint, Yun Yi could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Being able to deliver the manuscript today is already his fastest speed.

You know, writing with a brush is not an easy task.

"This is all the blessing of the son, Xiaoxiao doesn't dare to take credit."

Hearing Yunyi's praise, Su Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, and then waved her hand again and again with a smile.

When the two were talking, several sons came to the door, all saying that they were entrusted by a certain girl to buy "Dream of Red Mansions".

Su Xiaoxiao did not refuse, and sold all the trial versions of "Dream of Red Mansions" to them.

"Now that the reputation of Dream of Red Mansions has spread among talented and beautiful people, I believe that as long as our book is published, it will definitely sell well."

After sending off the last customer, Su Xiaoxiao proudly asked Yun Yi for credit.

"Shopkeeper Su is doing business, and he is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows."

Yun Yi took a sip of the tea bowl and praised it with a compliment.

"Childe has won the award, Xiaoxiao can have today's knowledge, thanks to Childe's guidance that day."

Su Xiaoxiao refilled the tea for Yun Yi with a smile, but she didn't dare to take all the credit for herself.

When the two agreed on the marketing strategy, they took into account that it was difficult for the ladies who had lived in the boudoir for a long time to reach each other.

So Yun Yi had an idea, and hit the idea on the girls in the brothel of the Qinglou and the boat boat.

"Most of the girls in these places have miserable backgrounds and ill-fated lives, so they naturally prefer the stories of talented and beautiful women."

"They often substitute themselves into the script, fantasizing that one day they can also meet a good match, and from then on they can get out of the sea of suffering."

"These girls open the door every day to welcome customers, and the ones who have the most contact are naturally those romantic talents."

"If you can develop them into salesmen in the Plum Blossom Thatched Cottage, you will not only be able to spread the fame of Dream of Red Mansions quickly, but also allow these poor girls to earn more."

"For example, as long as the customers they recommend buy the Dream of Red Mansions, the Plum Blossom Thatched Cottage will pay them 10%."

"If they want to sell the books given by those sons, we can also recycle them at cost price."

……

At that time, after listening to Yun Yi's narration, Su Xiaoxiao was simply shocked, and even pulled Yun Yi to discuss it in depth.

"Shopkeeper Su is too modest, I just said casually, it is you who really get things done."

Yun Yi didn't ask Su Xiaoxiao how he won those girls, anyway, as long as the result was okay, the process was actually not important to him.

"Let's stop complimenting each other, it's almost noon now, Xiaoxiao wants to invite my son to a light meal, I wonder if my son appreciates it?"

Seeing that Yunyi didn't seem to have any intention of asking, Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and changed the topic.

"I have other things to do when I go into the city today, so I don't have to eat!"

"If it's convenient, I also ask Shopkeeper Su to prepare some pen and ink and bamboo paper for me, and I can go back and write the story behind."

Hearing that Su Xiaoxiao was going to invite herself to dinner, Yun Yi waved her hand again and again.

If this is at the dinner table, it is estimated that she will have to ask herself about her marketing methods again.

Now this plum blossom cottage has become famous, if there is any more moth, I am afraid that it will be a fire cooking oil and flowers, and it will inevitably be coveted.

"I'll go and fetch it for my son."

Listening to Yun Yi's words, Su Xiao was disappointed for a while, but he still smiled and got up to get what Yun Yi needed.

"How much?"

"Childe believes in me so much, not only gave me the Dream of Red Mansions for free distribution, but also taught me how to operate, how can I collect money from Childe for these things?"

"One yard is one yard, if you don't collect money, then I can only go to Jane's Reading Room to buy it."

Although the two are now in a cooperative relationship, Yunyi does not want to take advantage of this.

Many times, a small favor may need to be repaid ten or even a hundred times in the future.

Because this money owes a favor, it is really not a good deal.

"Two hundred dollars."

Seeing Yunyi say this, Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to force it anymore.

After all, she just wants to bring the two people closer, but if it is self-defeating because of this, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.
