Zhuo Lei invested almost all of his business capital and purchased a large number of state-of-the-art printing and binding machines. Feiyan also carried out a series of modifications and enhancements to these original and old inefficient machines to ensure that they could be used safely.
Efficient work.
Song Min's calligraphy and painting are really neat and beautiful. According to the story provided by Fei Yan, the story of "The Stone Monkey is Born to Worship the Immortal Master" in the first edition of Journey to the West is wonderful, and every character is lifelike. Especially the one slightly adapted by Fei Yan
The handsome and wordy Tang Monk, the sissy image is lifelike, lively and lovely...
The first batch of 500 illustrated storybooks "Journey to the West" was finally published and was sold in Zhuo Lei's shop.
And pricing has become a headache.[
The conservative Song Min insisted on pricing each copy at one tael of silver.
Zhuo Lei kept objecting, shaking his head and saying: "No! This is absolutely not possible! The best binding and paper of the little book on the market only sells for 5 yuan a piece, and generally the 5 yuan book is sold
It’s unsaleable, and only the cheap versions costing 2 cents each are bought by many people.”
Song Min said: "Brother Zhuo, how much do you think our villain books should be sold for?"
Zhuo Lei thought for a while and said, "Let's sell it for 5 coins."
Song Min said in surprise: "Aren't you going to sell it at a loss? Our workshop is relatively small, and purchasing paper is very expensive. The overall cost is higher than others. If we only sell it for 5 yuan, we will all lose money."
Zhuo Lei thought for a while and said: "The cost of each of our books is about seven or eight dollars. If we can sell them all, we won't lose much. At least, if we increase the sales volume, more people will buy it in the future.
"
Song Min said: "Brother Zhuo, I don't know how to do business, but if I lose 2 yuan when selling one book, won't the more we sell, the more we will lose?"
Zhuo Lei said with a smile: "Silly girl! If you can't sell it, won't you lose more?"
Song Min asked curiously: "Why do you lose more?"
Zhuo Lei said with a smile: "This account is easy to settle!"
