Chapter 423: Printing
"Jiayi, our newspaper has been sold out, and now many places are urging us to reprint, the newspaper you are talking about is really successful, and it is so successful. ”
Jia Yi had just finished class, and before he could finish packing his things, he was grabbed by Yanel who rushed in and pulled him aside, and said excitedly.
Jia Yi was surprised, he had imagined that this newspaper would be popular and popular, of course, he had considered the unpopularity, he had the psychological expectation of being cold, but now he was still very excited to hear that the newspaper was sold out so quickly.
"How much did you sell?" asked Kaichi.
"2500 copies. Yanel looked very proud, "We have only laid out 4 points for the time being, 700 copies of the Academy, 800 copies of North Water City, 500 copies of Memphelbo, and 500 copies of Frentzas. ”
At this time, even the most popular magazines such as "Alchemy Manufacturing" and "The Apothecary" were only tens of thousands of sales, and with the popularity of newspapers now, it should not be a dream to have a circulation of tens of thousands.
The newspapers of Memphelbo and Frentos were specially delivered by airship a few days ago, and everyone sold them today, but Yanel was able to know the sales so quickly, and it seems that he had contacted them through the communication circle.
It can be seen that he is still quite concerned about the sales of the newspaper, and the professors of the academy are also very concerned, otherwise they will not use the communication circle to contact and know the sales of the newspaper.
"Then hurry up and reprint, is just a copy machine enough?" asked Kaichi.
The efficiency of the college's duplicators is not very high, usually thousands of sheets of paper a day, even if it is printed 24 hours a day, the print volume is only doubled. Because it takes 7 or 8 seconds to copy a page, less than 500 sheets of paper per hour, and if you want to print 10,000 copies of a newspaper, it will take about 3 days even if it is 24 hours a day.
But even if the machine can, people can't hold it, with the repetition of mechanical operations, the printing person is unable to continue to ensure high efficiency, so calculated, if you want to print 10,000 copies it takes 4 or 5 days, plus transportation, to the other two cities it takes 7 or 8 days, it is too long.
At this time, whether the sales of the newspaper will decrease because of the lack of freshness is something that no one dares to guarantee, 10 copper plates is not much, but not everyone is willing to pay this price.
Their sales network has not yet been rolled out, and there are still relatively few points of sale. Unlike other magazines, the sales network covers almost all major cities.
Jia Yiyi said one by one, Yanel was also panicked: "This is indeed a problem, I will recruit people to stare at when I go back, take turns printing, people stop the machine and don't stop, first print for a day and send it over, and later... Oops, no, the airship can't catch up, so we still have to wait. ”
Yanel was very annoyed, and at this time he really wanted to have an airship that belonged to the academy alone.
The academy does have airships, but it is impossible to transport newspapers to you, and now the newspapers have no advertising revenue, and the sales of 10,000 newspapers are only two airships, not "first class".
If you talk about the sales of newspapers, of course, it is amazing, but if you talk about sales, the total amount here is only the money of a few magazines, so thinking about it, Yanel's mood suddenly fell again, and he was not so excited.
Yanel shook off the lost thoughts in his mind and went back to arrange for the seal.
But in the academy, there are many people who are talking about the sale of newspapers, not only because of the low price.
Even Lorel was very surprised, she didn't expect the price of the academy to be so low, even if she didn't have a part-time job, she couldn't help but buy one at such a low price.
Jiayi still miscalculated the sales volume, too conservative, they think it would be good to have 10,000 copies, but in fact, just in Beishui City alone, the sales of 10,000 copies are a very simple thing.
Lorrell and Travis walked into a restaurant with a newspaper in hand, and it was officially bustling at this time, but if you listened closely, four or five of the 10 people were talking about the newspaper.
Seeing Lorrell and the others coming in with the newspaper, many people stared straight at them. One of the mages came up and said to Lorel, who was holding the newspaper in his hand, "Little girl, have you finished reading your newspaper? ”
"Ten... Ten times that. Lorel was taken aback, although a silver horn was not a lot of money for a mage, but it was also very amazing to buy a newspaper at a premium of ten times.
But Lorel still carefully refused: "No... I'm sorry, this is our professor asked me to buy it, we haven't finished reading it yet, I heard the professor of the college say that it is being reprinted now, and there will definitely be a new newspaper coming out tomorrow morning. ”
Lorel didn't actually know about reprinting, but it stands to reason that since the sales were so good, she must have to reprint, and after she went to work part-time in the paper mill, the treatment was not bad, otherwise she might have to sell the newspaper.
Seeing Lorel's refusal, the mage walked back a little disappointed.
There are quite a few people in the academy, at least thousands of mage apprentices, the number of mages alone is more than 500, there are other literate populations, and 500 copies of the newspaper did stir up a wave, but when someone followed the source, they found that it had long been sold out.
This can't help but make people more curious.
Lorrell and the others carefully found a seat and sat down, seeing that the mage who had left was a little disappointed, and there were many people staring at the newspaper in their hands, Lorrell stood up and said, "Otherwise, I'll read the news in the newspaper for you." ”
"Okay, okay! Then trouble this lady. The people next to him applauded, and the boss also came up and served them a pot of tranquilizing flower tea.
Lorel smiled apologetically at Travis, who was not very happy but did not stop Lorell.
"This is the inaugural issue of the college, the first issue, called the college semi-monthly report, each page is divided into four pages, a total of three pages of 12 pages, the first edition is about the paper, the college developed a new paper, the specific content is as follows.... The second article is a discussion of why paper has been around for so long, and it has only been improved by the academy until now, and the author is Master Mado..."
Lorel's voice was clear and bright, and with the help of magical amplification, it spread throughout the restaurant.
The restaurateur on one side saw that everyone was listening intently to Lorel's reading of the newspaper, and couldn't help but think that he must grab a newspaper tomorrow and hire someone here to read the newspaper, which must be very attractive.
Although the newspaper is only 12 editions, but the amount of content is really a lot, the first newspaper is some news of the wizarding world, the second piece of paper is the news of several surrounding countries, government decrees and other news, the third paper is mostly some interesting anecdotes about the wizarding world, popular science explanations, and the last edition even serialized a novel, the hobbit copied by Jiayi.
He heard that Jin Yong was running Ming Pao when he serialized novels to boost sales, and thought about trying to serialize novels in the current newspaper.
This novel is one of the only Western fantasy genre novels that Jia Yi knows of, and the other is The Lord of the Rings.
I originally wanted to write Journey to the West, this one is more familiar, but it was too much trouble to change the name of the place to match it, but fortunately he had read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings cursoly, and it was the time when the Lord of the Rings trilogy was very popular.
But in addition to these two, he reads all science fiction novels and online novels, so he can't write Dou Po here, or Ali Buda? To be honest, the current knight novels are full of this kind of plot, and Ali Buda has little advantage.
After serializing The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, Jia Yi estimated that he could close his pen, but he was really exhausted. He wrote a web novel for more than 1 million words in his last life and didn't put it on the shelves, so you can know that his writing and thinking are limited, and he still has a promising job of studying magic.
