Chapter 323: Like a Fox (Sixth Watch)

Chapter 323

With the addition of the horse pipe of Houcheng Academy, this printing thing only dragged on for a day before it appeared.

There are 5,000 new copies in the Xianyun Book Shop, so that everyone who has to come to buy books can buy such a volume.

Five thousand copies were printed, but it was still not enough.

Somehow, this cheap book of 100 articles has attracted the attention of some reselling vendors.

Those people, like scalpers in later generations, want to deliberately buy all the books and then increase the price, and when the time comes, it will rise to 200 wen a book, and they will also make money.

It was also a few days later that the horse manager of Houcheng Academy and the old shopkeeper of Xianyun Bookstore learned about this matter.

No matter what era, there is no shortage of speculative and bad thinkers.

In the account room of Xianyun Academyβ€”β€”

Yunxi, the old shopkeeper, and Ma Guan sat on the square table and talked with an equal attitude.

"What do you think should be done in this situation?" The old shopkeeper frowned.

"Although the bookstore restricts one person to only one copy, they can't help but launch the crowd tactic, there are too many people, and it is inevitable that there will be situations where they can't remember people's faces, so they can buy more repeatedly."

The horse pipe frowned.

The old shopkeeper said, "Why don't you contact the yamen?" ”

Yunxi's brow jumped.

In contact with the yamen, wouldn't this book also be regarded as a political achievement of the prefect?

She would never accept such a thing.

"It's good to add a seal, see how much they can eat, if they have the ability, they will buy it with all their might," Yun Xipi smiled and didn't smile.

"Can you convert the cost of printing?" Ma Guan felt that Yunxi was talking too casually, so he didn't think about it.

"The cost? I used to get paper from Xianyun Bookstore, and because of this, the bottom cost of a book also needs sixty-five wen, but you take a large number of them, and you have cooperated with the paper mill, and you have also pushed the paper cost of a book to fifty wen per book, isn't it? ”

Yunxi asked.

The horse pipe raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

"Then there is the ink, when I make it, because of the small quantity, the value of this material will be more expensive, but you buy a large amount, the price will also be reduced accordingly, and now the production cost of ink is evenly distributed to each book, right?"

Yunxi asked again.

The horse pipe was really surprised.

Like these things, he won't let people say it, and although the old shopkeeper is bent on not letting Yunxi suffer, he is not the kind of person who will betray the master's family, that is to say, these are all analyzed by Yunxi himself.

Ma Guan once again had the heartache of missing talents: "If only you were a man, if you were a man, you wouldn't have so many worries!" ”

Yunxi directly ignored Ma Guan's words, and continued: "If the carver is a craftsman, the cost will be evenly distributed to each book, and it will be a matter of one article, that is to say, the cost of the book at this time is sixty-one yuan." ”

"One thousand copies is sixty-one taels, two thousand books are one hundred and twenty-two taels, and four thousand copies are two hundred and forty-four taels......"

Yun Xi was expressionless: "You print 50,000 copies, which is 3,000 and 50 taels." ”

The horse tube observed the clouds, his fingers were not pinched, and he quickly said the number, and he was a little surprised.

This mental arithmetic ability is fast.

"If you sell a hundred wen per volume, and you sell thirty thousand and five hundred copies, you will be able to earn back this cost," Yun Xi said.

A flash of inspiration crossed her mind, and she came up with an even more interesting idea.

"The reseller does not want you to pass the book into the hands of the people, at least they will buy nearly 20,000 copies with you, you can deliberately reveal during the period, you are doing a good deed, you are doing this with money, they will feel that you can't last long, so ......"

Yunxi's eyes narrowed like a fox, and the corners of his eyes rose.
