Chapter 24: Hundreds of Thousands of Waste Mysterious Paper
"My friend, look at the end of the second volume, there should be a third volume and a fourth volume in the future?" Jiang Yong continued to ask Lin Zhou. Although he was obsessed with studying Lin Zhou's writing style, the wonderful content of this novel also gave him a strong interest in keeping with him.
Bored in old age, for a high-level alchemist who is rich enough to rival a country, wealth and honor have become a cloud, and everything in the world is difficult to attract his interest. Lin Zhou's booklet made him lit up. If he had some such different pastime and pursuit in his spare time, he could make the long and boring life more interesting again.
"Yes, as long as someone likes to read it, or... someone is willing to pay money to sponsor Xuan paper. The expenses of Xuan carving are fine, I can continue to write it." Lin Zhou and Jiang Yong said. In the previous life, as long as the online novels were subscribed, which one would not stop writing it for millions of words?
"It's no problem... If my friend is willing to write, I can buy these manuscripts and take them back to the city of Yunfeng County. After the Xuan carved it out, I asked my friend's acquaintance to give them to the knowledgeable people in the drugstore and the market to read. I wonder what my friend wants?" Jiang Yong asked Lin Zhou.
"Yes." Lin Zhou of course agreed immediately. Jiang Yong did this to save him a lot of money on Xuan Ke.
"My friend's manuscripts...and future manuscripts. If I have full authority to entrust me, how much will the reward be more appropriate? Of course, if I have other requirements, I will just put forward it. As long as I can do it, everything will be easy." Jiang Yong has never done this before, and he doesn't know Lin Zhou's idea, so he needs to understand it first.
Jiang Yong's main purpose is of course to hope that Lin Zhou can keep writing and not be eunuchs.
"Mr. Qiu likes these manuscripts so much, even if you take them away, you will be exempted from the reward. I only have two requirements. One is that the mysterious engraving must be carried out according to the original content I wrote, and the text cannot be deleted; the other is that the more copies of the mysterious engraving, the better. I hope that more citizens in the future can experience the charm and power of this text." Lin Zhou said to Jiang Yong.
"Of course there is no problem with these two pieces, the number of Xuan Ke... Because of an old thing two years ago, I happened to keep more than 100,000 pieces of used Xuan Ke paper in my home. Although they were all used, they can be used for Xuan Ke in these articles after they are returned. But you really don't want to pay any compensation?" Jiang Yong didn't expect that Lin Zhou only made these two requests.
"I have an immature idea, but I can argue with the old man..." Lin Zhou was surprised when he heard that there were more than 100,000 pieces of black paper in Jiang Yong's family. This meant thousands or even tens of thousands of booklets!
However, if this matter is to last for a long time, Mr. Qiu cannot keep losing money, right? Lin Zhou doesn’t know Jiang Yong’s true identity, and naturally he doesn’t know that these tens of thousands of pieces of black paper are nothing to Jiang Yong.
"My friend can say anything."
"That's right. Since the old man is interested, we might as well..." Lin Zhou told Jiang Yong about his preliminary idea, which was his Xuan paper reading rental plan.
If the rich people in the county town are interested in booklets, they can rent the booklets to them for free, and regularly recycle the black paper in their hands and a small fee for the next volume of the novel. If these rich people are willing to give some extra rewards, they can also make a reward ranking for them in the last page of the next issue of the novel. The top ten can be included in the list, and the one with the most rewards is ranked at the top.
If they paid enough money, the novel could even make some text promotional advertisements for the business of the wealthy people in these families.
Mr. Qiu said that he had acquaintances and other places with large traffic flow, such as those with large traffic, can disassemble these brochures outside the store and post them one by one in eye-catching exterior walls, or build some wooden newsstands separately so that all the people coming and going can read them for free.
Those who have money can spend money, while those who have no money can also see it in these public places. Charging fees to the rich and the money earned from advertising can offset some of the costs of black paper and mysterious engraving.
"If you have to pay off the silver you recovered and you still have to make money by throwing away the cost of the mysterious paper and engraving, then you and me will be able to make a 50% profit." Lin Zhou told Jiang Yong about his plan. To put it bluntly, it was the one he had done in his previous life. Lin Zhou adapted it slightly and then moved the entire ancient brain to this life.
"Miracle! Wonderful! Wonderful! Really wonderful! My friend is really a genius! Not only is the article and calligraphy amazing, but the ideas are endless. I really admire you!" Although Jiang Yong didn't care about the money, after hearing Lin Zhou's idea just now, he immediately praised Lin Zhou's clever mind again.
If you can make money in this matter, it will definitely be better than investing it all the time, ensuring that the work can continue. The money you earn can give the apprentices in charge of Xuan Ke some additional rewards to improve their enthusiasm for work.
Distributing recycling brochures and posting black paper everywhere requires manpower. If you can be self-sufficient in this matter and don’t have to invest more money continuously, Jiang Yong will naturally be happy to see it.
As Jiang Yong's senior alchemist, the prestige accumulated among the wealthy people in the Yunfeng County City family, it is conceivable that once these rich people fall in love with the contents of this booklet, the number of people willing to pay will definitely not be a minority. If they accumulate a small amount, they may really make money.
The two had a very scheming conversation. At noon, Lin Zhou invited Jiang Yong to Linjiabao. After lunch together, the two talked for half an hour and agreed on the place for the third volume. Then Lin Zhou and Lin Meng sent Jiang Yong to the station of Tonghe Town and watched their carriage leave Tonghe Town.
Lin Zhou was in a good mood and rewarded Lin Meng with a few taels of silver. After the matter with Jiang Yong was finalized, a big problem was solved. As long as he continued to write, the experience value of ridicule would increase. If this model could make money successfully, Lin Zhou would even publish this booklet to the imperial capital. You must know that there are millions of people there, and the influence is not comparable to Yunfeng County.
Let’s take this step first, I don’t know if it can be successful yet!
With a "ding dong", Lin Zhou's Flame Fist also rose to level 2. After his calligrapher's skills were upgraded to level 2, he transferred his ridicule experience value to Flame Fist. The second-level calligrapher is temporarily enough. At this stage, the most important thing is to improve his own force.
...
After leaving the Tonghe Station with Lin Meng, the two of them wandered all the way to the town center square. At this time, the town center square was very lively. When they approached, they saw that there were two people competing.
Although this is a world of martial arts cultivation, murder and arson are not allowed on the surface. If a dispute arises between families, you can choose to resolve it in a public competition. Of course, both parties must agree. However, since you have decided to compete publicly, if there is a casualty and injury in this public competition, you will be responsible for each other.
It seems that there are two people in the town today who are very upset with each other, so they chose to solve the problem by playing the game in the center of the town.
Lin Zhou's memory is gradually recovering. When he approached the competition arena, he quickly remembered the identities of these two people when he saw the competition.
Unexpectedly, there were two people with certain status. One was Guo Xiong, the owner of Guojiazhuang, Tonghe Town, and the other was He Fei, the elder of Hejiabao, Tonghe Town. The two had a dispute over a small mine on the back mountain of Tonghe Town. After a fight between the two tribesmen, they chose to resolve the dispute through a martial arts competition under the mediation of the town owner Gan family.
Whoever wins this competition will belong to that mine.
Because both of them are at the mid-stage seventh level of Xuan Qi and are considered relatively powerful warriors in Tonghe Town, after the news of the competition spread, many people attracted to watch the battle.
Among them are the two sisters of the Su family, Su Muling and Su Muqin. The two beauties appeared here, so naturally there were young men of appropriate age in Tanghe Town like flies around them. Among them is Lin Tao from Linjiabao, who was unwilling to speak to Su Muqin with a flattering expression.
