Chapter 75: Allying Through Benefits
After Hong Xiaobao said that they should control the amount of the copies, all of them understood. They could only produce so much so that the value remains the same or even higher.
Since they cannot have the big cities and all the pract.i.tioners know that truth, Hong Xiaobao started to explain why they must deliver the additional 200 printed copies of Jiang Hu stories to Warm Fragrant Building, “We need the Warm Fragrant Building to keep the supply of these additional goods. It is convenient as they would never mention our secret. Later on, they will also supply all the big cities 10,000 copies each only for five copper coin, which many would not be able to buy! These 200 additional copies for this batch is the final 200, which many would not be able to get!
Fixed number! This is called fix number! Each big city will only have 10,000 copies. If everything sells out and they want to buy again, sorry, they can only buy it from others for a higher price as our copies has been all sold out!
As the matter stands, this Jiang Hu Stories will become very valuable! Although news about it would quickly fade and become obsolete, the stories and the serialization of «Legend of The Condor Heroes» will only become more popular as more issues are printed.”
Just think of it if it is on Earth, whoever has the initial and complete copy of the «Legend of The Condor Heroes» version of Jin Yong, how much money would they get if it was put on auction?
“Great! This is definitely good!” This time, everyone finally understood the intention of Hong Xiaobao for delivering the copies to Warm Fragrant Building. Fang Xinghan maliciously patted his thigh and said, “Xiaobao, your means is definitely superb! This is the way we can only respond! All the copies will definitely be sold out!”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Fang Xinghan.
A piece of newspaper would be sold for five copper coins. It looked like a small amount, but with 10,000 copies, that would be 500 taels of silver. In this world, the big cities of major countries was about 100, which meant that there would be 50,000 in one week of issue; one month is 200,000 for four issues, and that is 2,400,000 in one year. 2.4 million taels of silver!
What an astronomical figure!
“I, I am in awe!” Fang Xinghan deeply bowed with hands clasped to Hong Xiaobao, “Xiaobao your method is simply impressive. Oh, if you come to our Saint Academy, depending on your method, the economy of our Saint Academy will certainly change. I only fear that it will go better and better than it is now.”
The common students belong to the group who only practiced martial arts to reach higher cultivation. They can only practice and try to make money throughout their long road of martial cultivation. They were always the poor who said that students are the poorest of the martial cultivators.
“En! I am actually quite careless too. I may have to request Uncle Fang of something to a.s.sist me to complete this matter.” Hong Xiaobao said with a smile, “Look here, everybody will be part of this riches okay? Uncle Fang, my important matter is the place we get these news from. Your Saint Academy students, how many will usually go out to steel themselves and acquire experience in Jiang Hu? You can ask them to write all the information and experiences that they acc.u.mulated from the Jiang Hu and pa.s.s it to me for my Jiang Hu Stories next issue. I will screen all the information and add them into my Jiang Hu News. That is where all the information will come from. Therefore, with all these important news, I will give Lotus Flower Base Sect 35 percent, now I can divide you the other 35 percent again, and I will keep the remaining 30 percent, what do you say?”
Ahh? Is this not a meat pie falling from the sky waiting to be devoured?
Fang Xinghan was truly dumbfounded this time. Like this (O_O)
