Doomsday: Start with the strongest talent

Chapter 442 Idea!
Bai Xiuzhu was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile: "That would be great. With a talented author like you joining us, Yiqu Bookstore will surely reach glory! If we cooperate, we will definitely be able to create a good story in the literary world!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiuzhu asked the waiter in the shop to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and drafted an agreement.

"Look at the content of this agreement. If there is no problem, let's sign it." Bai Xiuzhu handed the agreement to Chen Guo.

Chen Guo glanced at the content of the agreement.

There are no literal traps.

And it was even better than Chen Guo thought. There was actually a signing fee of 5 taels of silver.

"Is there still a signing fee of 5 taels of silver? I heard that the business of the bookstore is not very good. If so much money is withdrawn, will it be..." Chen Guo is now a shareholder of Yiqu Bookstore, so it is natural for Yiqu Think about the operation of the bookstore.

"Before I was not sure about the business, so I only used the money in the bookstore. Now that I am sure about the business, I can take part of my dowry and invest it in the bookstore. I can embezzle 50 this time. The signing fee of 5 taels was given according to Yu Zhengchao's standard." Bai Xiuzhu signaled that it was okay, and said, "In fact, I still wronged you, Mr. Chen, after all, Mr. Chen, your book is much better than Yu Zhengchao's." Already!"

"Miss Bai has been very good to me. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with." Chen Guo secretly marveled at the richness of Bai Xiuzhu's dowry. She estimated that the 50 taels was only a small part of Bai Xiuzhu's pretense.

It seems that although the Bai family is not a top-notch wealthy family and has no desire to search for money, the wealth accumulated over the years is also very important.

Since Bai Xiuzhu offered such a good condition, Chen Guo didn't have any hesitation, and signed her name on the agreement without hesitation.

Chen Qiubai.

He will use this identity for a long time, and will not change it for the time being, so he will use this identity to sign the contract.

"Welcome to Yiqu Bookstore, we have a happy cooperation." Bai Xiuzhu retracted the agreement, very satisfied, "I will send someone to send 5 taels of silver to Mr. Chen's residence. I don't know Mr. Chen now..."

"I'm temporarily staying in an inn, and my usual residence is in Zhentian Martial Arts Hall, where I learn martial arts." Chen Guo said.

"Zhentian Martial Arts... It's a good place. Although there are many martial arts in the northwest, this is the only one who is willing to teach real things." Bai Xiuzhu didn't say much, and began to invite Chen Guo to taste dishes, "Try this... Crystal Steamed Dumplings..."

These dishes tasted so-so to Chen Guo, but he was not unreasonable, so he would naturally praise them.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Then Chen Guo's heart moved, and he said, "I don't know if Miss Bai has any plans to announce my new book?"

Bai Xiuzhu said: "What is the publicity plan?"

Chen Guodao: "It's the promotion and distribution plan."

Bai Xiuzhu said: "Of course there is. In terms of publicity, I have a certain cooperative relationship with storytellers in teahouses and taverns everywhere. As long as you put money in and let them talk about my book, you can make a contribution to this book." The book is warmed up first."

"As for distribution, Yiqu Bookstore's original channels are all over the world. As long as we do it step by step, with the level of Mr. Chen's Zhuxian, it will definitely be a big hit."

Businessmen in this world naturally understand the importance of publicity.

They naturally also have the means of their announcement.

For example, find a storyteller to warm up.

But limited by their imagination and vision, their biggest means of publicity is to invite troupes to act.

There is no innovation and breakthrough.

"The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Although I have confidence in my book, I think we should play something different. Even something that can give Yiqu Bookstore a unique advantage..." Chen Qiubai said, " I have an idea!"

Bai Xiuzhu asked curiously, "I wonder what Young Master Chen has in mind?"

Chen Guo said, "Why don't we run a newspaper?"

Bai Xiuzhu said: "Newspaper? What is that?"

Chen Guodao: "When I investigated the information of the publishing industry before, I actually spent money to hire Tsing Yi Building."

Bai Xiuzhu nodded and said, "There is a lot of news about Tsing Yi Lou, almost everything is known, but the price is also very expensive."

Chen Guodao: "So I had an idea at that time, maybe many people want to know some news in the world, but these news are too expensive, and news that is not expensive needs to be spread by word of mouth. By the time they know it, the statute of limitations has passed. sex."

"So why don't we print some news about the imperial court in Jianghu on some paper, and publish an issue every month, making a Jianghu monthly report?"

"The above content can be divided into several categories. For example, news, that is, various major events that happened in the world within this month. For example, where bandits are rampant, where there are rebellions, and where there is a flood."

"For example, hot spots in the world or in the world, such as a certain hero challenging a certain hero. What is the reason? What is the process? What is the result?"

"You can even publish some novels on it and serialize them. I believe that such a newspaper will definitely cause a sensation. If we promote our books on the newspaper, the effect will be very good."

Originally, Chen Guo didn't intend to contribute this idea, but Bai Xiuzhu was so generous that Chen Guo directly became a shareholder of Yiqu Bookstore, so for his own benefit, he was willing to take out his golden idea.

The drive to beat workers and shareholders is different.

Working for yourself, even if you can only get [-]% of the income, you have to show your real skills.

If you are simply working as a worker, as long as you don't mess up, you are considered very professional.

Bai Xiuzhu went over the concept of the newspaper in her mind, thinking about the finished product of the newspaper and the effect of the newspaper after it was released.

Then Bai Xiuzhu looked at Chen Guo in surprise.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Chen, to have extraordinary ideas in business. This newspaper is really a genius idea, but there are two problems in it." Bai Xiuzhu said, "Newspapers are definitely good things, but if we want to publish newspapers, we You have to overcome these two difficulties."

Chen Guo asked, "I don't know which two difficulties it is?"

Bai Xiuzhu said: "The first difficulty is that engraving blocks are too expensive. Newspapers need to use engraving blocks once a month, and the engraving blocks cannot be reused after use. It is too wasteful."

Chen Guodao: "I have a technique of wax printing that can solve this problem."

Chen Guo originally wanted to provide type printing, but considering that type printing still has a certain technical threshold, it would take a year and a half to manufacture.

But the wax printing technique is very simple, unbelievably simple.

It is enough to print this kind of tabloid.
