Du Qi listened to everyone's discussion, looked around and heard everyone's discussion. He naturally knew what many people were thinking, and continued: "Everyone, every book has a different style, and is sought after by different people."
"As the saying goes, turnips and cabbage, everyone has their own favorites, and everyone likes different things."
"Some people like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is like an epic, with Cao Cao's heroic courage, Liu Bei's unparalleled benevolence, and Lu Bu's domineering and bravery."
"However, some people will definitely like Fengshenyanyi, because Fengshenyanyi is ever-changing and has countless magic weapons. It can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. It can be said that there are no wonders in the world."
Du Qi continued: "No matter who you like, the only thing I can guarantee is that I wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with my heart, and the book "Fengshen Yanyi" is also my hard work. It is absolutely beautiful."
"Okay, let's not talk much."
"Fengshen Yanyi, the new book, is good or not, you can only know after reading it. Even if I talk about it, in the end, the judgment will be up to you."
Du Qi ordered: "Master Qian, bring in all the books and start selling them."
"yes!"
When the money comes again, it will be paid immediately.
Immediately after the money came back, arrangements were made immediately, and the waiters of the bookstores were asked to help carry the books, bring in the latest "Feng Shen Yan Yan", and place them on the bookshelves one by one.
Du Qi looked at the people who spontaneously lined up and were ready to buy books, with a bright smile on his face.
Speaking of it, the habits of these scholars are really good. In order to easily sell books, Qian Zailai maintained order a few times, and it became a habit for everyone. They lined up to buy books spontaneously and would not randomly jump in line.
Du Qi looked at the neat team and suddenly took a plan. Since he wanted to improve his impression and fame, there was another good way at the moment. Facing the crowd in line, he said again: "It's rare for you to come here today, and it's rare for me to meet you. Today, everyone who is in the bookstore For those who bought the book, I will send an autograph to each of you. As long as you buy the book, you can bring the book to me, and I will sign it personally as a souvenir."
In later generations, this is the so-called signing.
Du Qi copied it now.
As Du Qi, a proper great writer, Du Qi was willing to sign, and everyone was overjoyed. When queuing up one by one, their faces were full of excitement.
?As all the books were put on the shelves and the sales began, people paid money one after another, and then they received the latest printed Romance of the Gods from the store, and then walked to Du Qi, asking Du Qi to sign the booklet.
When Du Qi signed, it was still under the pen name.
Never wrote his name.
However, Du Qi would occasionally write a simple word of encouragement in the book. Simple words such as cheering, hard work, etc., are used as encouragement to make the trip worthwhile for those who come.
? With Du Qi's signing, time flies.
However, in just one hour, all 10,000 books were sold out. The books were sold out, but the signings were not finished. The reason why it was sold out so quickly was because there were a few booksellers among them who bought thousands of copies, so in a short period of time, there were no books.
As for those who failed to buy the book, they can only go to other booksellers to buy it.
Du Qi's signings lasted until noon.
Everyone leaves.
In the store, the silence has been restored, only a few readers are there.
Du Qi rubbed his sore wrist and went straight to the backyard. Qian came to Du Qi again, with an excited look in his eyes, and said happily: "My lord, the Fengshen Yanyi is also sold out. And at that time, I saw someone reading a book outside the bookstore with great interest. Our bookstore, With the second hit book. This time, it's really hot again."
Du Qidao: "This is normal."
Qian Zailai said: "I think that although our bookstore can't print too many books, in my opinion, 20,000 volumes can be printed, especially the number of businessmen in the surrounding area is gradually increasing."
"Many businessmen started to come to Chang'an and started buying books."
"For us, in fact, 20,000 volumes is not a big number. You mentioned that other booksellers should participate. Even if we print 20,000 volumes, many people can still participate."
Qian Zailai said: "After all, if they buy in bulk, they can also be sold."
Du Qi rolled his eyes and said: "In the Chang'an area, 20,000 copies will be used as the standard, and no more copies will be published. It's just that our bookstore has reached this stage, and we can start to expand."Qian Zailai said: "Young master, how do you plan to expand?"
Du Qi said solemnly: "As time goes on, more and more people will know about our bookstore, and they will also know about Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Gods, so I need you to establish books directly under us in all counties across the country. bookstore."
"ah!"
When Qian came again, he exclaimed.
He had an incredible expression on his face, because Du Qi's handwriting was too big.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Zailai said seriously: "Master, to set up bookstores in every county in the country, the cost must be very high. I understand what you mean, you intend to operate stores all over the country to form a huge scale."
"However, even if we use the two books Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Gods, because the rest of the places are too far away, our books cannot be delivered for a while. These booksellers who come to Chang'an can buy books. Then it is sold far away, which will affect our business."
Qian Zailai said: "So, I don't think this is appropriate."
"wrong!"
Du Qi shook his head and spoke.
Qian Zailai said: "My lord, where is the little mistake, I beg you to clear up your doubts."
Du Qi continued: "The reason is very simple. Our books are currently updated every two days. Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the future, it can be changed to every three days."
"Imagine, in these three days, my manuscript will come out first, and as soon as it comes out, I will send out the content quickly, ensuring the latest content, and sending it to all counties across the country first."
"In this way, even if some booksellers intend to buy our books in large quantities and resell them to other places, it is useless. Because, during the two to three days without updates, the latest content It has already been sent over, and then printed and sold."
"By the time the booksellers who want to buy the latest content from Chang'an buy books and want to go back and resell them, they have already lagged behind. So in the end, they can only sell them locally, and it is impossible to resell them to other places."
"Especially for publications in various places, we also control a total amount, so that merchants from all over the place can buy from various places in bulk. In this way, on the one hand, the benefits are shared, and on the other hand, we can take the initiative."
Du Qi said: "Then, our bookstores all over the country will also be established."
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
On Qian Zailai's face, there was an expression of amazement.
This is to take advantage of a time difference.
If Du Qi's Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of Fengshen were updated all at once, then it would be impossible for Du Qi to make up for this time difference. However, it is updated one after another. Every time Changan sells books, almost all parts of the country are sent out in advance, that is, they are sold at about the same time.
Even if there is a certain delay due to being too far away, it will not be too long. Booksellers in these places want to buy books from other places and resell them back, but they can¡¯t keep up with the time. When they buy books and sell them, the locals have already started selling them.
This is the benefit of time difference.
Qian Zailai clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "My lord is wise!"
Du Qidao: "Do you understand now?"
"clear!"
Qian Zailai answered very firmly, and continued: "Young master, the villain will take Chang'an as the starting point, and gradually expand outward from Chang'an. When the entire Guanzhong area stabilizes, it will spread across the country one after another. In short, I would rather be stable. We can¡¯t expand regardless of everything. Otherwise, the rules will be broken, and the operation of the bookstore will be prone to chaos.¡±
"Can!"
Du Qidao: "Now that you understand, this matter should be handled as soon as possible. The sooner you expand, the sooner the bookstore will earn more money. When it comes to building a nationwide chain bookstore, it cannot be a loose structure. It has to be a complete system."
Qian Zailai said: "Don't worry, my lord, I understand. Especially when it comes to expansion, it is not appropriate to call Zailai Bookstore again. What I mean is that the bookstore needs to be renamed, please give me a name!" (Remember this website URL: www .hlnovel.com
