Chapter 39: Good Fortune
This kind of thing that directly benefits them is actually no different from direct bribery in essence, but who can refuse them at this time?
Because they can't refuse, they work harder.
How much they sell, that's how much money they make.
What's more, the officials of the Kyushu Continent are not like those officials in modern society, what family members can't do business or anything, if they want to monopolize, they will be the biggest monopolist in this city!
It's the same as Xie Tianming.
Now Xie Tianming is the largest publisher. It would be easy for him to suppress other publishers, not to mention that at this time, there is Li Chu here to help, as long as there are enough stories to provide, these publishers will not have any problems.
"Each of us wants 500 copies of the hardcover collector's edition, 1,000 copies of the hardcover edition, and 10,000 copies of the regular edition!"
These city lords are very generous, there is no way, they are originally powerful and powerful, and they are even more unscrupulous at this time, because they are all real rulers, if the people in power have no way to keep their promises and give money, then the world will be over.
These people followed Xie Tianming and signed an agreement with Li.
But they were very surprised that Li Chu's approach, not to mention anything else, just these dozen pages of contracts are not something that ordinary people can come up with, and at this time, he not only made these contracts, but also made so many stories, not to mention anything else, just this gourd baby, and that magic pen Ma Liang, can write stories.
Although these stories are specialized in young children, these stories can be considered the best novels at this stage!
Because there are no books in this world that are made specifically for children.
Even if these stories end up being reduced to bedtime stories, this is a big step forward for the world's entertainment industry.
And when these city lords took these novels and told them stories to their children, the satisfied smiles of the children, they knew how good these stories were.
Worth!
But this is not the most pleasing thing for these people, what makes them most happy is that after buying these hardcover collector's editions, their children actually start to take the initiative to ask them what the words on them are.
That's the killer feature of this hardcover collector's edition.
Books are not just a pastime and entertainment, but also a learning aid.
Li paid attention to this when he wrote, how many things were behind in his previous life.
When children don't study, blame game consoles, then blame computer games, and then online novels, it can be said that as long as you are popular, someone will come to the door.
But if there is something on top of this that can attract children and allow them to take the initiative to learn, then this trouble can be avoided.
Li Chu made up his mind early.
There are so few books in this world.
Aside from those so-called scholars, the best thing left to sell is the spring palace map.
Li touched his chin, if this can be pushed out, not only can he make this kind of children's book, but even comics can be published, as long as the brand of the book is out.
"However, using this special paper will increase the cost, so will we make a lot less money?"
"Hahaha!" Li nodded. "That's right! That's true! The cost increases, and it does make a little less, but with this kind of paper, other people can't imitate it at all, so we can use this method to discourage them, and also let everyone have the most typical impression that our hardcover books can't be burned!"
Li Chu smiled, and then glanced at these people. "Maybe we have to pay an extra price for each of them, but as long as we sell them and the books are sold, these books can become famous, and when they think of high-end novels, they will think of our books that can't be burned by fire!"
"Then they'll come and buy it, and we can use it as a gimmick when we sell it, so that those who do piracy won't dare to do it?"
Li Chu nodded excitedly. "That's right, that's the truth, as long as they can set up this mark, they will think of our family when they think of novels in the future!"
These people are very excited, what Li said is not wrong, it is exactly what he said, as long as it can be made into a brand, people will take the initiative to find it.
And low-end books are not affected at all, and people who can afford mid-range and high-end books are not short of such a small amount of money.
After all, this book belongs to entertainment, and people who buy hardcover books and hardcover collector's editions are, to put it bluntly, not bad for money.
These people will definitely not be short of money, and those who can spend so much money on entertainment will certainly take a fancy to this brand effect.
It's like a modern person going out, and you say what bag you're carrying, not LV, Gucci or something, and you're embarrassed to say it's a brand, but in mainland Kyushu, many people haven't made the concept of a brand.
"Okay, we all have this book, since you are all responsible for so many things, then these book shops ......"
"Of course, we also open the store, but please help with it......!
Li Chu found some novels from behind him.
"You can refer to this!"
These city lords pretend to be different versions of their daily lives, some are rich, some are powerful, anyway, as long as these people can operate according to the above, they are enough to collect a wave of money!
On the day of the 3,800 taels of sky-high book auction, these people still saw what they could do? After they went back, as long as they could draw gourds in the same way, they could make a lot of money.
Three thousand eight hundred taels, even if only eight hundred taels can enter the fund, it would be good, then the rest of the money will be their performance fee.
Li Zhi is interested in fame, Xie Tianming is interested in interests, but his interests are political interests, and the two of them look at money or something very lightly!
This offer happened to hit the itch of these people.
Although it was a bit strange for this large group of adults to tell a ten-year-old boy about this, no one dared to take this Li as a ten-year-old boy at this time.
When the scene finally ended, the city lords glanced at each other.
Watching Li Chu leave, several people looked at Xie Tianming on the side curiously. "What a blessing for my brother!"
"What a blessing?" Xie Tianming smiled helplessly. "It's not up to me!"
At this time, they almost understood that this matter was planned by this child, and of course they were envious of having such a kid to help make suggestions.
However, only Xie Tianming himself knew that when he listened to his mother-in-law's advice and asked him to "invite" Li to discuss the sharing, the person who lived in his shop and seemed to have a good relationship with him flew directly into the sky with a sword, and he knew that this child had his own capital to talk about cooperation with him.
