I'm a marquis in Datang

Outside the bookstore, it was already overcrowded.

Countless people gather here.

There are booksellers and scholars, all of them look eager to see through, all of them are very excited.

"Treasurer Qian, today is the time to update the content. In your bookstore, it's time to publish the latest chapters. We came early in the morning. Is your store ready?"

"Hurry up, Manager Qian, we need to buy books."

"Treasurer Qian, the sun is almost drying your butt, why are you sleeping, wake up soon!"

"Treasurer Qian, it's time to get down to business."

...

One by one, they kept opening their mouths.

For a while, the scene was even a little chaotic.

Listening to everyone's words, Qian Zailai raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no sun at this time, the sky was still dim, and he couldn't even see a trace of the sun.

Qian Zailai looked at the appearance of countless people at the door of the bookstore, feeling emotional in his heart.As soon as the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms came out,

It was so hot that it almost broke his record for running a bookstore.Even in the bookstores in the entire West City, all the booksellers selling books, no matter how popular they were before, were all covered up.

It can only be said that the charm of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is really popular.

Really great!

After all, Qian Zailai is a person who has been in business for many years. He is very experienced. Seeing the crowd, he immediately said: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"

he shouted.

With his voice, the surroundings quickly fell silent.

Pairs of eyes fell on Qian Zailai's body, all waiting for Qian Zailai to explain.

Qian Zailai shouted: "Everyone, there are too many of you, it's not convenient to buy books, messy ones are prone to accidents. So, you all line up outside the bookstore and enter one by one. In short, the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a single price. There is a batch price. The sale of this book is not negotiable, I hope you can be mentally prepared."

After he finished speaking, the people who came here began to line up in an orderly manner.

After Qian Zailai saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to sell in an orderly manner.All those who want to buy books pay first, then buy the books and leave.

As for booksellers who buy in bulk, place the order first and deliver it later.

This kind of busyness lasted for a full hour and a half before the people outside finally left.There are countless people who just buy in bulk, and there are also a lot of booksellers who come here.

In the morning, [-] volumes have already been taken.

Only four hundred volumes remain.

Qian Zailai was already shocked in his heart. He had seen the explosion of books in many bookstores in the book store, and countless people bought them.However, compared with him, these are far behind.

Some other hot books are not even worthy of mentioning the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Because a lot of them were sold early in the morning, although there will still be people coming later, at least the people who come are not so dense

, the waiter in the store can greet you.

The waiter in this store was hired by Qian Zailai just now. After all, the bookstore today is not what it used to be and needs help.Qian Lai made some arrangements, and the accountant looked at the store and went to Du's house.

He is going to announce the good news.

After Qian Zailai entered Du Qi's backyard, after seeing Du Qi, he said happily: "Young master, I am overjoyed, overjoyed! The [-] books you sent yesterday have sold a little over [-] copies. Now, There are only less than [-] volumes left. If there are no booksellers, just retail sales, maybe it will be enough today. Once a merchant comes to buy in bulk, it will not be enough. Look, do you want to print some more?"

After Du Qi heard it, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to print it again, [-] copies are enough."

When the money came again, he said worriedly: "Young master, after the books in the bookstore are sold out, then, if someone comes to buy them again, what shall we do? After all, there are less than [-] books left."

Du Qi looked soft, and said with a smile: "Since it's sold out, of course I won't sell it. [-] copies have been sold outside, such a volume is enough. Those who like to read, although they can't buy them in our store books, but you can buy them elsewhere."

"Now that there are books out there, there's no need to print more at the moment."

"In this case, if we don't print it, it will make our books more valuable. Once we continue to print, it will easily make the books purchased by other booksellers unable to sell."

"Once they can't sell, they may not buy so many in the future."

"Because they bought a lot of books this time, the business is good, and when the next book sale, they will continue to buy books in bulk, and the purchase volume will even increase.

Continue to grow. "

"This is also the way of business, understand?"

Du Qi said: "The operation of bookstores is different from tea shops and restaurants. The contents of bookstores are extremely easy to be copied and imitated. It is impossible to monopolize this market. Therefore, it is best to make money."

After Qian Zailai heard it, he nodded hastily.

He agreed with Du Qi's words.

Although Du Qi's words were not very profound, they made him suddenly enlightened, and he had some ideas.

Du Qidao: "The price of Romance of the Three Kingdoms books cannot be adjusted downward. However, some classic books, such as "Guanzi", "The Analects", "Laozi", "Xunzi", "Zhuangzi" and other books, have to lower their prices, and then sell it."

Qian Zailai frowned and said, "But the prices of these classic books in the store are already the lowest. If the prices are further lowered, I'm afraid it will be a loss-making business, and it will not be able to make ends meet."

Du Qi said seriously: "Many of the books in your store were copied by you, or some were copied by others. It is not easy to adjust the price of this."

"But in the future, I will print these classic books in batches instead of copying them. In this way, the cost of books will be minimized

Low, the price will drop a lot. "

"This is how we make money."

Du Qi said: "We can lower the price, but others may not have the cost to lower the price."

When Qian Zailai heard it, his eyes brightened even more, and he looked excited, and said, "My lord is wise!"

After a pause, Qian Zailai said, "My lord, do you have any other novels? Now it's just one book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it's really a bit thin to rely on this book."

Du Qi said, "I didn't write it."

He did it on purpose.

After all, he specially used Luo Guanzhong's signature, and Luo Guanzhong was the top tank.
