Chapter 280 (2/2)
That's a story book sold by elves!
Each book also comes with a literacy manual. It teaches you how to read from scratch and can read stories. The price is only ten silver coins. Of course, I have to buy it! Even if you listen to a story told by a bard in a tavern, you need a silver coin as a reward. The story books can be read and collected by yourself. It's worth it!
Apart from Ellington, where can there be such cheap paper and such luxurious cheap books!
As a result, the first novel ”things in the foreign world” published and distributed by Datang publishing house became popular in the audience. It was sold short as soon as it was sold, printed and sold short again. The author's Fairy beauty dant Lian also became famous directly. She became a well-known figure in Ellington and signed and sold bookmarks to soft hands.
In a short time, the story of long Aotian, the protagonist Skywalker, in the world called Earth, has become the talk of many Ellington residents after dinner. Datang daily and Datang radio station even opened a special column program for this purpose, serializing and reading story excerpts, and publicizing the works by the way.
Compared with dantelian, although Sanye is more popular, her popularity is undoubtedly lower, because she uses the pseudonym black dragon Dingding under Donne's advice.
In addition, the painting is a book. After all, it is not good to publicize openly, so no one knows the real identity of Sanye.
Looking at the piles of silver coins collected, Fiona took a breath of air conditioning. In just a few days, she made a profit of nearly 1000 gold coins! Ten silver coins for each book, that's 10000 books sold!
Because the cost of paper and printing is very low, and the elves don't need Donne's salary, these 1000 gold coins are equivalent to net profit!
This is because the market is too small, only here in Ellington. What if the market continues to expand? What if you sell books all over the country?
Where is Datang Publishing House printing and selling books? It's obviously printing money!
”You think too much.”
Facing the excited Fiona, Donne poured cold water: ”First of all, because this is in Ellington, due to the policies and construction over the past six months, they have some surplus wealth in their hands, coupled with the emptiness of spiritual entertainment, which leads to the illusion of hot sales - of course, the most important thing is that our great hero, Ms. dantrian, sells books in person. Elves appear in human society and sell books in person Close contact with her is the real reason for the hot sales. ”
Fiona frowned: ”so... The market in other places is not as big as expected?”
”No, the market must be very big. People's demand for spiritual entertainment is greater than you think, but the first problem is to solve the low productivity. Only by solving this problem can they be in the mood to enjoy entertainment.”
Donne shrugged: ”besides, they certainly won't go to places other than Ellington for promotion. Do you think there will be so many people snapping up in this case?”
”I see.”
Fiona was full of admiration: ”Lord, your vision is always a few steps ahead of me.”
Donne laughed. At least he's also a person who has experienced the information explosion. If he can't analyze this, what else can he do.
”Dantelian's novels have made a lot of money, but what about the cartoon income of Miss Sanya?”
Fiona looked at Donne strangely: ”you said you were responsible for this one. What's the sales situation now? I didn't see it on the market.”
”Oh, here you are.”
Donne took out some bags and threw them on the table. Fiona was a little rough and stunned: ”there are five thousand gold coins!? God! How do you sell them? Did you run to Bain and alinks to sell them?”
”Of course not, just Ellington.”
”How is that possible?”
Fiona had a big face of disbelief.
Tang Enyi shrugged: ”if you don't believe it, you can't help it. Believe me, comics have a larger audience than novels... Well, that's it.”
Because the text content of comics is less, even illiterate can easily understand the interesting content, so those illiterate adventurers and mercenaries are certainly more willing to buy comics, which is also well understood.
Fiona has also seen the cartoon called ”future civet cat” painted by Sanye. It's really interesting, but the problem is that Fiona doesn't see where Ellington sells comics at all.
”Of course, the gold absorption ability of juvenile comics is very strong.”
Donne couldn't help touching his nose and said silently: it's just not as good as a reference book
At this time, Sanye ran over excitedly: ”Donne, you asked me to draw -”
Donne was stunned, rushed over, grabbed Sanye's neck and said with a smile: ”eight dragon balls, right? I knew you could handle it, right? Did you make a sample? Let me have a look!”
”Eight dragon balls”? Oh, it's really done. What I'm talking about is - ”
”Hey, you asked your pseudonym? It's actually very simple. It's a black dragon named Dingding. Don't you think it's very mysterious?”
Fiona looked suspiciously at Donne and Sanye coming out of the door. She always felt something was wrong.
Pseudonym?
Tintin?
Black dragon?
be rather baffling!
