With yesterday's preparation, today when I sold the Fengyue tabloids, there were many more old customers, and they were all sold ten or ten.
Chen Qiang also had a lot of money in his pocket, and there were silver coins and even a large ocean.
In the past, the majority of newspaper boys collected copper coins, because the face value of copper coins is "dime" and "li", and the minimum face value of silver coins is also "a cent". If you use an ocean to buy a newspaper with three or four cents, the newspaper boys can't find it.
Today, Chen Qiang is selling newspapers in a bunch of ways, so he can naturally receive "large amounts of money".
In fact, the Fengyue tabloids that Chen Qiang sold today are not many new ones, but more are newspapers that have not been sold in previous periods. Chen Qiang classified these previous periods, bundled them into a stack of different types and different periods, and then went to "wholesale", which was equivalent to selling a Fengyue tabloid's book.
If it is a newspaper of current affairs news, it will definitely not be sold like this, because no one will read expired newspapers.
Now you use your mobile phone to watch the news. If you come up with a news from last week, you will definitely not click to read it. This news focuses on timeliness. Newspapers without timeliness. Not to mention a book, they are sold as waste paper. If you encounter a stingy person who collects waste paper, you will have to be underpriced.
But Fengyue tabloids are different. They are full of stories. As long as you haven’t read the story, there is no difference between reading new newspapers and reading old newspapers. For some serial stories, people who read newspapers will also look for previous newspapers specifically.
Today I am a new Fengyue tabloid. I took it over and saw that I have never read this story. The content is very exciting and I can read it perfectly;
Last week's Fengyue tabloid, I took it over and saw that I had never read this story. The content was very exciting and it was perfect.
Last year's tabloid, I took it over and saw that I had never read this story. The content was very exciting and it was perfect.
The novel "The vernacular love story" by Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng hundreds of years ago was taken over and read it. It seemed that the story had been watched in "Water Margin", but the content was really exciting and it was also pleasant to read.
Fengyue tabloids are not time-consuming, and some wonderful stories will be collected.
For example, if you open the d, e, and f disks of an old computer, look at the video files, you may find some classic collections from a few years ago (all are serious, don’t mention numbers).
These past romantic tabloids could only sell waste paper, but when they came to Chen Qiang, they all sold the retail prices of new magazines.
Chen Qiang estimated that today he made a fortune by selling these romantic tabloids.
"I wish I could have such income every day!" Chen Qiang sighed.
If you earn one dollar a day, you can earn 30 yuan a month. This was already a very good income in Shanghai in 1929. At that time, the average salary of a female worker in a cotton mill was 20 yuan a month. For an ordinary working class, earning 30 yuan a month was already a high income.
Chen Qiang estimated in his mind that if he could earn 20 yuan a month, he could move out of the slum's straw shed and rent a brick house with windows and floors.
...
At Chen Ruji warehouse, Chen Qiang handed the other 50% off newspaper money to Chen Wu Ge.
"You guys, you're OK. So many tabloids have been sold out!" Brother Chen put the silver dollar beside his mouth and blew it. After hearing it, he heard it and then kicked it into his pocket.
"I'll give you another stack." After Brother Chen Wu said that, he reported a larger stack of romantic tabloids to Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang did not refuse, Shanghai is not only the middle school of Fudan High School, but also some of other private middle schools and church middle schools, while Chen Qiang is looking for customers in places.
After taking this batch of romantic tabloids, Chen Qiang asked, "Fifth Brother, do you still have old literary and publications here? Can you give me some if there is one?"
"Some are! There are all the goods in the box four or five years ago! That thing is the hardest to sell. A few years ago, many literati made this, and they couldn't handle it after a few issues." Chen Wu Ge said.
Articles and magazines have high requirements for readers. People who are only literate but have no literary literacy cannot understand newspapers such as literature and magazines. In comparison, ordinary people may even think that Fengyue tabloids are more easy to understand.
Demand determines the market. If the people have less demand for this, they will naturally not be able to sell goods. Therefore, basically, even articles, magazines or newspapers cannot live long.
For example, the magazine "New Trend" contains major columns such as literary criticism, publishing circle reviews, old books and new reviews, modern poetry, novels, etc. It will publish works by famous artists such as Li Shouchang, Cai Yuanpei, and Lu Xun, but it can't be completed after only 12 issues.
For example, the quarterly magazine "Creation" was hosted by Guo Moruo, Yu Dafu, etc., and only six issues were held in total.
There is also the "Poetry" magazine. As soon as you hear it, you will know it is a publication that writes poetry. The editors include Zhu Ziqing, Ye Shengtao, Yu Pingbo, and the main contributors include Shen Yanbing, Wang Tongzhao, Wang Jingzhi, etc. This lineup is strong enough. The top team of modern poets has closed down after seven issues.
From a literary perspective, there were indeed many excellent literary masterpieces in the literature and magazines at that time. Articles were good articles and poems were good poems. If today's literary lovers saw this, they would definitely feel like they were treasured.
But from a commercial perspective, these articles and magazines were simply not sold. In that era of chaos, ordinary people used the spare money to talk about scriptures and savor articles!
Brother Chen Wu didn't know what Chen Qiang wanted to publish newspapers, but he still pulled out a stack of scrap newspapers and handed it to Chen Qiang.
"If you want this thing, pick it up and give it to you!" Brother Chen Wu said arrogantly.
"Send me? Will it be trouble for Brother Wu?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.
"Nothing hassle, this thing is worthless! These were printed a few years ago. The paper was too bad at that time. Even if you use it to wipe your butt, you would be afraid of getting it broken and getting it touched!" Brother Chen Wu, a guy, couldn't even bite the word Wenjue, and naturally he could say vulgar words.
Chen Qiang touched the stack of old literary and newspapers in his hand. The top two pieces were indeed broken, and the quality of the paper was really not very good.
...
At the entrance of Fudan Affiliated Middle School, Chen Qiang saw the fat man Wang Changshou again.
"Young Master, I'm going to the new episode again, oh no, I'm going to the new item again!"
Chen Qiang said as he took out ten tabloids from three months ago and handed them to Wang Changshou.
"All these are new? There are no repetitions before?" The fat guy didn't care about the release time of the Fengyue tabloid. He only cared about the story here. Has he read it?
"Young Master, don't worry, these are never sold before. If there are heavy goods, I'll change them to you afterwards." Chen Qiang said.
"Okay, I believe you. Put it in my schoolbag." Wang Changshou pointed to the one-shouldered schoolbag on his body.
"Young Master, wait a moment." Chen Qiang took out another article and handed it to Chen Changshou, and said at the same time: "Young Master, this is for you."
Wang Changshou did not answer, but looked down and said with disgust: "Is this a publication? I hate reading this thing the most. If I don't read this, you can take it away."
"This is not for you to read." Chen Qiang smiled slightly and continued: "Young Master, the romantic tabloids you bought are not very gentle newspapers after all. If they are discovered by the master and wife at home, they will definitely be punished. This article is for you to show your storefront. You put the articles and magazines on the outermost part of this stack of newspapers, wrapping these romantic tabloids. If the master and wife at home ask, you can say you are reading the articles and magazines, or you can get away with it."
This is also Chen Qiang's intention to ask for a newspaper to publish, and put it on the outermost layer to cover the Fengyue tabloid. It is like later generations hiding martial arts novels in textbooks, as if they were reading textbooks on the surface, but in fact they were reading martial arts novels.
This is also an additional service provided by Chen Qiang.
After hearing Chen Qiang's words, Wang Changshou nodded suddenly: "Good idea, I think so thoughtful!"
Then Wang Changshou grinned and reached out his hand, slowly took out 50 cents from his pocket: "Take all 50 cents, don't look for them anymore, I'll give you the rest."
"Thank you, Young Master." Chen Qiang took the money. He found that Wang Changshou's actions of paying money were unnatural, so he asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with your arm? Are you injured?"
"Did you see it? My arm is injured." Wang Changshou said in surprise.
Chen Qiang nodded and thought to himself that when you paid for it, I can't tell it!
Wang Changshou explained: "When I was practicing tug of war this afternoon, I stood in the front, and when my feet slipped, I fell down and twisted my arm. It hurt me for most of the day."
Chen Qiang looked at Wang Changshou's bloated figure and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have to stand in front of this tug of war?"
"Because I'm so strong!" Wang Changshou said with a show-off expression.
"Uh, this is not right? You should stand behind with your figure." Chen Qiang said seriously.
