Chapter 488: The Wave of Piracy All parties move together
While the Star Realm was busy, a wave from the outside world began to sweep across the empire.
Since the second issue of Xingchen Monthly came out, people have learned that not only propaganda can be sold for money, but even stories can be sold for money.
When the first teahouse was opened, the first commentary was the Water Margin, and many teahouses are still talking about it today.
So some clever businessmen seized the opportunity and began to follow the example of the monthly magazine, and began to gather people to write the story.
In addition, there are some wealthy businessmen, they are members of the Xingchen Teahouse, and Tianlong Babu has also listened to it for a year, and they all remember the story. When I saw the story at the beginning of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon in the Xingchen Monthly, I reacted immediately.
So many people snapped up the Xingchen Monthly, they will definitely be attracted by the stories in it, and if you take the story before the Xingchen Collar at this time, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Businessmen pursue profits, as long as the interests are big enough, let alone offend Jiang Xingchen, even if they raid their homes and destroy them, they will take risks.
At the beginning, due to the small number of members of the Xingchen Teahouse, and the copying also required a large number of people, there were not many follow-up stories of Tianlong Babu on the market.
However, since there are people who succeed in following suit, there will be more people who follow suit. The Star Teahouse has not many members, but with the advent of the Tenryu Babu, more people have joined the ranks of piracy. This trend of imitation spread rapidly.
If it is said that the copying of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon still has a development process. The Water Margin is completely explosive, and teahouses around the country saw that they could make money by writing stories into books, and no one could help it. All began to follow suit.
It is said that there are many people who have heard of the Water Margin, a publication made of white silk. Civilians can't afford it, so there shouldn't be such a big market.
But the fact is that after this book was written, it was even more popular than Tianlong Babu. Even if you hear it once or twice, you will pay for a set of preservation.
Such a situation made those who opened the teahouse ecstatic. It's all money for nothing.
And in the Empire, in addition to this trend. The other trend is not as big as the publication. But it's no small either.
After the completion of the grand ceremony of Xingchen Lingxin Town, chess and card halls were opened in many places, and business was also good. Although this thing is simple to make. But it's still more lively to call friends and get together.
When they learned that the Star Leader would hold a chess and card tournament in June, they immediately realized that this was a pretty good business opportunity. If you can do it, we can do it too, and this is an opportunity to increase visibility. If you make your momentum bigger than the star collar. In the future, I will be left to lie at home and count the money.
Isn't it the championship prize of 10,000 citrine coins? Isn't it free to sign up, and we can afford it. Your stars are so far away, your status is so biased, the same chess and card competition, people must choose us.
Soon, there was a trend of holding chess and card tournaments in various places. And with the help of some people, this trend is also like following the example of Xingchen Monthly, which is intensifying. There are also quite a few people who have signed up. Get ready to participate in the contests they host.
Driven by such a trend, Xingchen Ling has once again become the focus of people's discussions.
"Jiang Xingchen's action this time is afraid that it will fail!"
"yes. Although Xingchen Monthly is attractive, he shouldn't put it on Tianlong Babu! No one would have thought of compiling stories into publications to sell. Isn't he a wake-up call to others by doing this?"
"It's a real failure. Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that the third issue of Xingchen Monthly will be affected......"
"I really don't know what Jiang Xingchen thinks, doing this is simply giving money to others. ”
Of course, there are also different voices, they think that Jiang Xingchen can't be so stupid. Advertising and selling money is an idea that people come up with, how can you not see the profit of compiling a story. Maybe it's like the kite last time, and what do people do?
"It makes sense, those businessmen can see the business opportunities, Jiang Xingchen himself will not be able to see it, and he will give up this benefit in vain. ”
"It's not good to say, the so-called authorities are confused, maybe Jiang Xingchen will make a mistake. Who can make a mistake once in a lifetime without making ......"
"Let's see what Jiang Xingchen is doing behind him, if someone takes advantage of this trend to start a monthly magazine, Xingchen Monthly will be affected and its sales will shrink......!
All sorts of rhetoric have led to this trend becoming more and more intense. In the beginning, it was just about money and profit. Later, it became a discussion about Jiang Xingchen and Xingchen Ling.
Xingchenling has developed to the present, and it is not only the monthly magazine and chess cards that are worth emulating. The way Bauhinia Entertainment operates, the projects of the amusement park, can be emulated.
Many well-intentioned people have begun to quietly prepare in secret!
Qi Yue lord city, Wang Gongzi is called a comfort in his heart. In this imitation trend, he made a lot of money from it, and the convener hand-copied the Water Margin, but it was more profitable than opening a teahouse.
What's more, this is the method Jiang Xingchen came up with. But he didn't make any money himself, but was pirated by himself. This is what makes Wang Gongzi the most comfortable.
Since two and a half years ago, when he went to Hongyuan City to ask for the secret recipe, he didn't know how many times he had suffered losses at the hands of Jiang Xingchen's gang, losing money, losing strength, and losing people.
But with Jiang Xingchen's status rising, he didn't dare to think about anything else.
This piracy trend finally made Wang Gongzi angry, no matter what, Jiang Xingchen suffered a big loss this time. The business field he discovered and opened up was occupied by us, and he was angry with him!
Wang Gongzi was in the restaurant and a group of younger brothers pushed the cup and exchanged lamps, laughing.
"Wang Shao, how much did you earn from following the Xingchen Monthly this time?" asked a younger brother after a glass of wine.
"It's not much, it's just tens of thousands!" Wang Gongzi waved his hand and said proudly.
"Tens of thousands are not much, this time it's only been a few days!"
Wang Gongzi smiled: "So, I decided to continue to increase the number of people to gather." Take advantage of this trend and make a deal out of him!"
"Wang Shao, I think it's better to be careful, increasing the manpower means that the investment is also large, in case ....... the previous kite garden, Jiang Xingchen will play with people unconsciously. A younger brother reminded.
"Hmph! It's going to be okay this time, there are more people who follow suit, and he can still play with everyone! Even if he comes up with a new story to grab back the market afterwards, we will get this one...... Don't talk about that, drink and drink!"
When Wang Gongzi was in high spirits here, in the palace of the imperial capital, Emperor Qiankun was also laughing. Jiang Xingchen, this kid, finally made a mistake, such a big new market was carved up by others, it is estimated that he must be uncomfortable.
"The reason why Xingchen Monthly sells money is to use all kinds of news in the territory to attract people! It is estimated that many lords of the territory should have also discovered this key, and this trend is an opportunity. It would be interesting if they also started a monthly magazine on this....... plus the matter of sheep intestines now, Jiang Xingchen's legendary reputation should also be pulled down!"
Thinking in his heart, the emperor stood up and muttered, "Do you want the royal family to also run a publication like this......
After a pause, the emperor suddenly ordered: "Come on, call the second prince!"
Soon after, the second prince hurriedly entered the palace hall.
A full month later, the second prince walked out of the palace hall with an excited smile.
"This opportunity, you must seize ....... Jiang Xingchen, you are the stepping stone for me to inherit the status in the future!" Away from the main hall, the second prince was so excited that he couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
"Second brother, what did you just say?" Suddenly, the voice of the sixth princess came into his ears, startling the second prince.
"Little sister, why are you so elusive?" the second prince turned around with an unnatural smile on his face.
"Don't digress from the topic, what did you just say...... How do I hear, inheritance...... Woo~" Before the sixth princess finished speaking, the second prince suddenly grabbed a step, covered her mouth, and looked around nervously. When the word of succession to the throne spreads, he is dead.
"Little sister, you heard it wrong, I didn't say that I inherited the throne ......" The second prince said a word, so that he couldn't hit the wall with his head, at this time he felt that he was a second force, and he didn't have to wait for others to ask, he just told the truth.
The sixth princess broke free from the second prince's hand, and looked at the second prince a little speechlessly, just such a scheming, she couldn't hold anything in her heart, and she inherited the throne, and the eldest brother could play with his toes as a brain. If the empire is taught to you, it's over.
Although she thought so in her heart, the sixth princess didn't say anything, but said with a smile: "Second brother, come with me to play kites, the kite I designed this time is big enough, it can definitely take you flying!"
"Help~" The second prince wailed, and the whole person had to be spread on the ground, two days ago, he was dragged by this girl to play with a kite, so he didn't hang himself and fell to death.
"Little sister, please let me go, your kite always goes ...... one end"
"Not this time...... Hehe, second brother, don't you want to try the feeling of flying?"
"What a flying sky, that's suicide, I'm not going!"
"Okay!" the sixth princess said and walked towards the main hall, and shouted in her mouth: "Father, I heard the second brother say just now...... Woo~"
"Little Ancestor, I'll go, can't I go?" The second prince was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body, and he was about to cry.
Not long after, a huge kite in the backyard of the palace was planted crookedly from the sky, mixed with a terrible howl......
At the same time, in the military department, the marshal, Feng Xuanzhang, and the old marquis all frowned. In their view, this trend is not just about profit. Many territories are secretly fueling the trouble. Monthly, chess and card competitions, and sheep intestines, it seems that all parties are moving together, and they are all oppressing the star collar.
"This kid's life, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy!" The marshal, the old marquis, and Feng Xuanzhang sighed at the same time.
And on the seashore thousands of miles away, on the seven-story treasure ship, the prince of the An family also laughed and ordered: "How can you let go of such an easy amount of money! Immediately gather a large number of people, and we will also share a piece of this piece of meat!" (To be continued......)
