Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 311 Soothe the Heart
"Oh, Mr. Adolf, this is my payment. Will you continue to sell it tomorrow?"

"Your comic books are selling really well. In just one morning, all five of my books have been sold out."

"Yeah, before I started playing, someone came to ask about the comic book, and many people have made reservations from me."

"Do you still have the second volume? Today, at least 20 people came to ask me about the second volume of "The Great Swordsman Jack", and I didn't know how to answer them."

"No, no, I think 250 copies a day is still too little, you don't know, now not only those rich nobles will buy it, but also many civilians, mercenaries and the like come to my place to book , if you give us another 20 copies each, we can sell them."

"Oh, Mr. Matt, what a genius you have come up with such a brilliant idea as a comic book."

"You should draw more. It is said that many people who have not bought them are now buying them at a higher price. It is said that all the copies outside have been sold for more than 50 silver."

"Yeah, Mr. Matt, I think the price of the comic book can be raised a bit more, 35 silver is still too cheap.

When I was about to get off work in the evening, as soon as the door of the comic club was opened, a group of people rushed up, arguing non-stop in the ears of Zhang Ang and Adolf.

They are the low-level musicians who helped sell the remaining 250 comics today, and each of them brought back the money owed on credit.

After clapping their hands vigorously to calm them down, Zhang Ang said, "Everyone, don't worry, line up and pay the money one by one."

After a while, seeing everyone calmed down and started to pay in turn, Zhang Ang continued: "Now the comic book club is out of stock, but everyone is rushing to produce the second volume of "The Great Swordsman Jack". It will take 5 to 6 days for the sale to continue”

Hearing Zhang Ang's words, the musicians below suddenly made a noise, all of them looked eager, and all kinds of pleading words were poured out without money.

Clapping their hands again to calm them down, Zhang Ang continued: "Everyone knows that every comic book is hard-won, and it is drawn by the hard work of the artists in the comic club, just like the two of you. The 500 copies sold every day are the result of a week’s work of more than 100 painters in our society, and it’s not that everyone can ask for as much as they want.”

After a pause, Zhang Ang continued: "But don't worry, everyone. Recently, our Vienna Comics Society has expanded its enrollment to recruit more painters! Some of them will continue to draw the best-selling first volume, and the other will draw the second volume. Try for a week. Within a short period of time, increase the output to 1000, or even 2000 copies, so that everyone can buy our comics! Of course, everyone will help us promote it after returning home, and help our comic agency recruit more artists! Whether it is People in Art Street are from other places, as long as they have qualified painting skills, we will accept them, regardless of the number of people, and there is no cap! You can go back and tell them, I guarantee that the daily salary will be at least 5 silver coins."

After a while of explanation and publicity, Zhang Ang managed to appease the low-level musicians and returned to the comic club.

In addition to appeasing those red-eyed guys, what needs to be appeased more is the painters in the comic club. After all, in just two days, the gang of street musicians earned at least 50 silver coins, and these The hard-working painters only have 5 silver coins a day, and only 35 silver coins after working for a Sunday. In comparison, they will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Labor and management have worked hard for a week to draw, but in the end, the group of music shabby made most of the money. How can this be tolerated?

Leaving Adolf outside to continue collecting money, Zhang Ang gathered his painters and began to announce the benefits: "Everyone stop for a moment, I will announce some good news. After these two days of sales, 500 copies of "The Great Swordsman Jack" The first volume has all been sold. Of course, this achievement is inseparable from everyone’s hard work these days. Adolf and I have also seen everyone’s hard work. I know that everyone has resentment in their hearts these two days. Those who make music earn more than myself, and I feel very unbalanced. I admit that I did not think carefully and did not arrange it well. But it is not too late, and I can make up for it! I announce that I will give out bonuses tonight! Send 50 silver coins!"

Immediately, the whole manga club burst into cheers, all kinds of long live shouts joined together, the gloom on everyone's faces was swept away, everyone's faces were full of excitement, and many people were so excited that they even dropped their paintbrushes. Unconsciously.

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't get too excited, first finish the last round of drawing in your hands, and then go to Adolf's place to get the money after get off work." Seeing that everyone was almost excited, Zhang Ang suppressed the enthusiastic atmosphere in the comic club with a smile.

Now the operation mode of the comic club is very simple. Draw 3 pages of comics a day, and each page draws 1 rounds. If there are 20 people in each group, 25 copies of the same page of comics can be produced a day. Simple cover and back cover, exactly 500 copies can be produced in a week.

And Zhang Ang himself didn't expect that the 500 copies would be sold so quickly, and this comic business could be so profitable.

500 comics were sold at a price of 30 silver each, a total of 15000 silver coins.The salary of painters is only 5 silver coins a day, and 100 people are only 3500 silver coins for seven days, even with the double salary of each team leader, overtime wages, and the consumption of various drawing paper, brushes, paints, etc. , and will not exceed 5000 silver coins.It can be said that this week, Zhang Ang made a net profit of 10000 silver, which is 100 gold marks, and almost made back all the money he bought for the house renovation.

Moreover, Zhang Ang also compared the purchasing power of this silver coin. According to the value of the purchased grain, it is almost equivalent to 50 yuan in the previous world, and the purchasing power is still very high.Like ordinary citizens in Vienna, their monthly salary is only 3 or 40 silver coins, and those who can get more than 50 silver coins can be called a well-off family.Unexpectedly, the purchasing power of these people is quite strong. Comic books worth a month's salary are bought as soon as they are bought, and the supply is in short supply.

Alas, in the final analysis, the entertainment industry in this world is too scarce.

Of course, Zhang Ang did not set up this comic club to make money, but to expand its influence and launch a public opinion offensive, so he didn't care, and distributed half of the profits to win over the painters.After all, anyone with a discerning eye can know the profits here. If the exploitation is too severe, if these low-level painters join forces and start a new one, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Anyway, Zhang Ang himself is not short of money, and he doesn't want to use this comic agency to make money. He doesn't care even if he loses money, so he is naturally willing to pretend to be generous.

However, with the current level of popularity, it seems that this move is the right one!Of course, in order to meet the demand of the market, we still need to quickly increase the manpower. After the sales are full in Vienna, use the restaurants that are almost all over Austria now to spread the comics throughout Austria!
However, just now, it seems that someone mentioned that there are mercenaries booked by him. Could it be that someone has already discovered the benefits I hide in this comic?
