89 Xue Pan Dangtuo
Shen Liang didn't care about this, he was busy greeting guests.
The firecrackers rang off for half an hour, and the air was still filled with the smell of sulfur, but a large group of literati and students wearing long robes and square scarves could not wait to pour into the bookstore.
Because of the name of the champion Lang Wei Zaode, many readers have long known that Yuxiang Bookstore is going to sell "Journey to the West".
The business of Yuxiang Bookstore is extremely hot!
Five hundred wen to buy the first ten chapters of "Journey to the West", that is, a thin volume, is not inexpensive.
But because of Wei Zaode's endorsement and the quality of "Journey to the West", there is an endless stream of customers who come to buy.
In addition, Chinese people like to join in the fun, whether they want to buy or don't want to buy, they all come over to watch the fun.
For a time, the entire Shufang Street was blocked.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this book?" A student in a green shirt asked.
Hua Zifang coughed dryly twice, and said with courage: "500 Wen a book, no counteroffer, if you want to buy it as soon as possible!" β
As soon as this price came out, there was an uproar.
The green-shirted student frowned: "It's too expensive, and your book is not made of gold, why is it so expensive?" β
A young man in a white brocade dress next to him said: "That's it, who knows if the text here is written by Wei Zaode, don't be a Mongolian person!" β
Hua Zifang also felt that it was quite expensive, but this was the price set by Shen Liang, but in the face of literati students, he was an ordinary person who had no confidence at all, so he had to set his sights on Shen Liang.
Shen Liang shook his head helplessly, saying in his heart that Hua Zifang was too tender and not suitable to be a shopkeeper.
Shen Liang stepped forward and said with a smile: "This brother, look at the books hanging inside this bookstore and pasted outside, all of them are handwritten by Wei Zaode, the champion of the Golden Branch, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Hanlin Academy to inquire whether it was written by him himself."
This book bureau guarantees, fake one pays ten! β
Hearing Shen Liang say this, the group of scholars also believed it for seven or eight points.
After all, the ancients still regarded faith as very important, and once the business lost its credibility, it was not far from going out of business.
"Shopkeeper, get me a copy, I heard that the first 100 people buy a discount, I don't know what the discount is?" The rich boy dressed as Xue Pan squeezed through the crowd.
Shen Liang said with a smile: "This son, you are coincidental, our bookstore has launched a preferential activity, and all the first 100 book buyers can receive the autograph of Wei Zaode, the champion of the Golden Branch. β
"Shopkeeper, get me 10 copies!"
Xue Pan waved the silver ticket, looking wealthy.
Hua Zifang took the silver ticket, handed it to his sister, and then wrapped ten copies of "Journey to the West" in brown paper and handed it to him.
Xue Pan happily ran outside with the book.
Where did the students in green shirts and the students in white know that this was arranged by Shen Liang, and when they saw that someone was making a move, they immediately took out the silver from their arms: "I came first, the shopkeeper, bring me one!" β
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"If you want to buy as soon as possible, there are only the first 100!" Hua Zifang had no teacher, and shouted in Shen Liang's tone.
Jia Yun, Hua An, and even Shen Liang all came on the scene in person and played the role of a salesperson.
"Boss, bring me 100 copies!" A man shouted in a gruff voice.
This is a big customer!
Hua Zifang hurriedly tied up the book and handed it to the man, who got the book, slapped a 50 taels of silver ticket on the counter, and walked away without touching the ground.
Shen Liang saw it clearly, and looked at Jia Yun Nunu, Jia Yun immediately followed, and turned back after a while.
"Second master, guess what, this person is a guy from the Longmen Bookstore on the street, he sold the books he bought to others at a higher price, and a book sold for an extra 50 wen!"
"Shhh
Shen Liang gasped, he didn't expect that there would be scalpers now, and they would be so dark.
In fact, Shen Liang had considered these bookstores in the capital before, but when these bookstores heard that he wanted to sell 500 wen for a book, they all said that he was crazy about money, and there were no bookstores willing to buy them at all.
Shen Liang simply did not take the marketing channel of the bookstore, and directly produced and sold himself.
As long as the book sells well, there is no fear that there will be no suppliers to come to the door.
Shen Liang smiled:
"It seems that we are very popular, you go and inform Lao Mo that they will work overtime, and there will be insufficient manpower, so we will recruit some more apprentices, and we must ensure the output!"
Jia Yun's mouth was almost behind her ears, and she hurriedly agreed.
To be honest, Shen Liang wanted to run a bookstore at the beginning, and Jia Yun was not optimistic, after all, interlacing is like a mountain, Shen Liang, a son-in-law who doesn't know anything, suddenly wants to do business, isn't it a joke?
But reality slapped him in the face resoundingly, and business was unexpectedly good.
Jia Yun is now obedient to Shen Liang's words, admiring the five-body throw, and feels that the future is bright!
For a whole morning, the people in Yuxiang Bookstore did not stop.
"Journey to the West", which is 500 texts, is not sold at all, and many people buy several or dozens of copies.
Most of them are here for the name of "Wei Zaode", who doesn't want to see the book written by today's champions, in case it is a treasure trove of exams.
Those who bought the book couldn't wait to open it and get a sneak peek.
When they saw that the author in the book was actually called "Teacher Six" instead of Wei Zaode, they felt deceived, but after thinking about it, "Teacher Six" might be Wei Zaode's pen name.
The ancients were also good at nicknames, as long as they were celebrities, they were embarrassed to go out without seventeen or eighteen nicknames.
And the story of "Journey to the West" itself is also extremely attractive, some scholars can't walk when they read books, so they sit directly on the ground outside the bookstore, and look at the books without anyone else.
Don't underestimate the thirst for knowledge of readers in this era!
Just after mid-afternoon, 1,000 copies of "Journey to the West" were sold out.
Looking at the sign with the word "sold out" hanging out in the bookstore, many people were still reluctant to go back, and stood at the door of the bookstore, waiting for the new batch of books to be released.
Shen Liang was so busy that he was dizzy, he wiped his sweat, only felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, he underestimated the purchasing power of readers in this era, and regretted that the price was set low.
Hua Zifang felt incredible and said: "Second master, this group of people don't treat money as money, and they all rush to buy a book of 500 texts." β
The attacker came out of the backyard with a teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Shen Liang: "Baoyu, drink a cup of tea and moisten your throat." β
Xue Pan sat down on the chair without any image, snatched it over, and drank the cow with a bang.
"HiccupβBaoyu, I kind of know why you brought me out, isn't this just for me to be a coolie?"
Xue Pan was a trust, and he was actually a little addicted.
He was not idle this morning, he took the book from Shen Liang, turned his head and went farther away to sell it at a higher price, and he didn't worry about selling it at all.
"If it can be so popular every day, wouldn't it be developed?"
