Chapter 68 The Pricing of Books

Twenty silver coins?

It’s a sky-high price in the book!

"Master, isn't this too expensive?" the shopkeeper said quickly.

Normally, a good book only costs about one or two silver coins, but Fang Hao's twenty, in the eyes of the shopkeeper, are not ordinary black coins.

However, Fang Hao didn't care at all.

"You have to remember one thing. This young master's book is destined to be a masterpiece. The spiritual food is priceless. Twenty silver coins are not expensive for those people!" Fang Hao said indifferently.

The one who set this price naturally had his own considerations.

Most of the people who can buy this kind of book are wealthy people, mainly young ladies from wealthy families.

In this case, it is no problem if the price is higher.

Let alone twenty silver coins, even one gold coin, Fang Hao felt that those people didn't care.

As long as the book is good, it’s not a problem at all!

Quality is king!

It is not an exaggeration to call a good book spiritual food.

After a while, the shopkeeper was awakened by Fang Hao, and he also agreed with Fang Hao's words.

If Dream of Red Mansions is truly completed, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a masterpiece. If this is the case, then setting this price is not out of the question.

Although it will definitely be a little hard to sell at first, once word of mouth spreads, it will definitely be fascinating.

"Okay, let's follow the young master's decision. I'm going to print some more prefaces and sell them at the cheapest price first to publicize them. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it at such a high price." The shopkeeper thought.

He thought for a while and then said.

"Advertisement?" Fang Hao was startled when he heard it, and then smiled.

"No need, this young master has arranged this matter. You should prepare to print it as soon as possible. In two days, the opening chapter of Dream of Red Mansions will be spread directly in Yuzhou City. Then it will be up to you!"

"Master, what can I do?" The shopkeeper was puzzled.

"Nonsense, you just need to prepare carefully. Moreover, it can be sold not only in our Yuzhou City, but also in other major cities. And once it becomes famous, we can also publish thirty or forty books, and the price will increase little by little!"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

At this moment, he had already begun to imagine the future.

The content of two chapters in one book.

Seventy or eighty times, that is a full thirty or forty books. If all of them are sold, Fang Hao estimates that just this one Dream of Red Mansions can make him a lot of money.

What's more, he has many, many more.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was also very excited.

If it is true, it will really happen.

Calculated based on the sale of 10,000 copies, the profit would be 180,000 silver coins, which works out to 1,800 gold coins.

All forty books were sold, making a profit of RMB 70,000 to RMB 80,000!

In the Great Xia Dynasty, a family with 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins was considered a good big family.

Not to mention that Fang Hao said that he would increase sales in the future.

By then...the profits will more than double!

Naturally, he can also make a lot of money.

After sending the library manager, Fang Hao selected the opening chapter of the manuscript of Dream of Red Mansions and handed it to Wuhan University, about 5,000 words, and asked him to send it to Liang Yusheng.

Advertise?

In this day and age, what’s better than print media?

A compound not far from the Earl's Mansion is now where the editorial department of the Yuzhou tabloid is located.

Not surprisingly, the Yuzhou tabloid was officially put on sale two days later. In the past few days, Liang Yusheng recruited troops and even bought a printing workshop, striving to make the first issue of the Yuzhou tabloid a hit and shock the entire Yuzhou city.

Naturally, the content of this requires constant speculation. Liang Yusheng is the editor-in-chief, and Wen Rui is the deputy editor-in-chief. They also have five editors, plus ten paparazzi who specialize in collecting various intelligence.

With these ten paparazzi, basically everything big and small in Yuzhou City can be reported to them. Liang Yusheng and Wen Rui screened them to find out how to attract people.

There is even a case where Fang Hao Casino turns into the God of Gamblers and kills everyone in order to create a hot spot.

But he had already thought about everything else. Only the novel story made Liang Yusheng hesitate.

What he copied was found in a book.

In fact, it can only be regarded as average and not novel enough.

At this time, Liang Yusheng was a little hesitant about whether to change it.

At this time, General Wu sent over the Dream of Red Mansions.

In an instant, after just a few glances, Liang Yusheng was stunned and completely attracted.

"Okay, okay, what kind of novel is this? Why haven't I read it before?" Liang Yusheng was filled with emotion. He used to be a scholar and was familiar with many books by saints, but he had never read this novel.

"This is written by the young master, called Dream of Red Mansions!" Wu Da introduced it.

"Written by the young master?" Liang Yusheng felt incredible.

"By the way, the young master asked you to make a final note here. This is just an introduction. It is excerpted from Dream of Red Mansions. It will be officially published in a few days. You can find a way to sell this newspaper to every household, especially the wealthy people in the city.

Anyone who has a young scholar must sell it!" Wu Da continued to speak, telling Fang Hao's instructions when he came out.

The Yuzhou tabloid is just an advertisement for Fang Hao!

Ten thousand copies cost only fifteen gold coins, which he could afford.

Moreover, it only sells ten copper coins, which is really not expensive!

After Wuhan University left, Liang Yusheng was still reading this manuscript. The more he read, the more addicted he became. He was also a book lover, especially all kinds of novels and stories.

It took a long time to finish reading the five thousand words.

In the end, I was completely immersed in it and was filled with emotion.

"This is truly a sacred book. With the contents of this manuscript, the Yuzhou tabloid is more stable this time!" Liang Yusheng said with a smile, very satisfied.

"Come on, hurry up, change the content of the story to this, hurry up!"

Liang Yusheng was busy for a while, and the library manager was also busy.

In the next two days, Fang Hao had a rare moment of leisure. When he had nothing to do, he went to the inn to accompany Lin Wan'er, making some teasing remarks and flirting, and he was in a very good mood.

Moreover, with Fang Hao's on-site teaching, the singing and dancing skills of these women improved rapidly.

Fang Hao almost copied the contents of his previous life and was bound to make heaven and earth the best place for entertainment.

Not only Yuzhou City will also become a top place in the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.

Up to now, Heaven and Earth are still being renovated in full swing. More than 20 or 30 workers are very busy, including food and accommodation. Xu Quan is here to watch it in person. The best craftsmen in the entire Yuzhou City have gathered inside.

Strictly following Fang Hao's requirements, he poured countless gold coins into it without any hesitation.

Originally, Fang Hao gave him 50,000 gold coins.

But now it seemed that it was not enough. After hearing Xu Quan's report, Fang Hao waved his hand and handed over another 20,000 gold tickets.

continue!

The young master is not short of money!

Everything is done to make heaven and earth the best.

A large amount of gold powder, a large amount of precious colored glaze, and other special, precious and luxurious decoration materials were transported and smashed in.

According to their estimates, the entire renovation work will be completed in one month at the latest!
Chapter completed!
