Pirated novels and chess and card competitions, these two things have caused a stir in the entire empire, and almost all major territories are talking about these two things.
The lords of major territories and the imperial royal family also secretly began to prepare for monthly magazines. If the monthly magazines are launched under this trend, they will be able to get it. The Stars are short of people, but we don’t have them. The ability to copy monthly magazines is definitely several times stronger than the Stars are dozens of times.
Although it was during the busy farming period, the high-quality grain planting this year has grown very well and is much easier to manage than in previous years. The staff is relatively rich. Especially those who recognize words have fewer people who do farm work.
All forces moved together, as if the clouds were covering the top of the sky, and they all pressed violently towards the Xingchen Leader. Many people saw the trick and sighed that Jiang Xingchen would definitely lose this time. All of this was because of his own wrong decision.
The same is true for chess and card competitions. As the piracy storm becomes more and more intense, various chess and card competitions have emerged.
Those who have been holding on to participate in the Star Leader’s chess and card competition were puzzled at this time. The competition was going to be in June, so why did the Star Leader not move in late May? Could it be that they were really stunned by the piracy?
In Hongyuan City, several large pharmacies that were not in dealing with Jiang Xingchen and Zhaojia Pharmaceutical were happy. You Xingchenling and Zhaojia Pharmaceutical are finally in trouble.
When the sheep intestinal line was released, they were very excited when the price plummeted. It is no secret that Zhaojia Pharmaceutical supplies the military sheep intestinal line.
However, at that time, they didn't dare to do anything. After all, Jiang Xingchen's reputation was so big. They couldn't afford to offend Xingchen. Qian Liang, the lord of Hongyuan City, was squeezed and had to give up his territory. How dare they be arrogant in their pharmacy?
But now it’s different. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that many territories are now suppressing the Star Corps. Even the imperial capital is indifferent to the attitude. This gives them a heart-boosting agent.
How come Jiang Xingchen is today? It’s not because of the emperor’s favor. Now the emperor doesn’t care about you. There are so many lords to suppress you. Your Xingchen is over.
Among these people, Dr. Cui danced the most. Didn’t you, Zhao Family Pharmaceutical, want to purchase more goods? I just won’t give it to you. So after seeing the people from Zhao Family Pharmaceutical appear in the medicinal materials market, he contacted several pharmacies such as Baicao Hall and joined forces to collect all the medicines in the medicinal materials market.
In Hongyuan City, of course, there are also some pharmacies with good relationships with the Zhao family. They secretly passed the news to the Zhao family.
Zhao Danqing laughed angry when she knew about it. If you had done this a little earlier, I might have been anxious, but now... hehe, it seems that the lesson I taught you two years ago was not enough!
After learning about the outside world, Grandpa Fu was a little anxious. Although he had always opposed Jiang Xingchen's monthly magazines, he didn't expect that the novel would be sold for money.
Monthly magazines can’t make much money. But novels are different. The white silk used for a book is hundreds or thousands, and the price of selling is definitely very high.
"Sir, novels are our things, why should they sell them for money?" Grandpa Fu found Jiang Xingchen and said angrily.
"Why, just because there is no intellectual property right now!" Jiang Xingchen murmured secretly, then smiled and said, "It's okay. Let them let go, and they should cry when the time comes!"
"Oh?" Grandpa Fu's eyes lit up. He asked, "Sir, do you have any solutions?"
"Of course we have published novels, and we are competing with them!" Jiang Xingchen said calmly.
"Uh! What's the solution?" Grandpa Fu was stunned. He competed directly, and how to compete. It was not enough for those more than a hundred people to copy novels. You also gave so much salary, plus the shipping fee, our costs were higher than others.
Thinking of this in my heart, Grandpa Fu didn't say anything, but asked: "It's too late to compete now. A lot of pirated copies of ours have been released!"
"Don't worry! If you write the whole novel, you will have to use at least a thousand white silk, and the cost alone will be 300 yellow crystal coins. With the labor freight, it is estimated that every instinctively can be sold for more than one thousand yellow crystal coins... At such a price, how big can the consumer group face!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and explained: "They must have split the story into several volumes and distributed them. If there are only a hundred yellow crystal coins in each book, there will be more people who can afford it... In other words, although they have released a lot, they can't finish the story!"
"So what? We are the same, and the cost is higher than others!" Grandpa Fu shook his head.
Jiang Xingchen said: "Who says our cost is higher than them? We have secret weapons..."
As he said that, Jiang Xingchen turned around and left, leaving behind the stunned Grandpa Fu, who murmured there: "Secret Weapon..."
Time passed the end of May and the beginning of June. During this half month, Xingchen Ling had no movement at all!
"Why didn't Jiang Xingchen move again this time? Don't hold on to any powerful tricks again, right?"
"It's hard to say. This time it's not the last time. The benefits of monthly magazines and novels are too great. I heard that even some territories that are shared with Jiang Xingchen have moved... so many people, and they are all upper-class nobles. What other tricks do you think Jiang Xingchen can do!"
"Yes, if you look at it like this, he will be really hanging this time..."
While all forces stepped up their monthly operations, Anyang Trading Bank also emerged again, saying that it had a large inventory of novels in its hands, attracting many shops to contact them.
The storm of piracy continues to expand, some people gloat about it, while others are anxious. This is the case with the fans of Bauhinia. Although they are also attracted by the story, they are determined not to sell piracy and are all waiting for the third issue of Star Monthly.
Those who are gloating are also waiting for the third issue of Xingchen Monthly. At that time, the final result will be fully reflected. Of course, they all think that Jiang Xingchen will never be able to make the world come true this time!
Everyone's expectations did not last long. On June 3rd, Xingchenling finally took action.
As soon as this action came out, everyone's attention was suddenly stumbled. Xingchenling published not the third issue of Xingchen Monthly that everyone was looking forward to, but the novel.
This time, the Star Monthly publication no longer had only three locations, but covered forty territories at once, with a circulation of up to 200,000 copies, and each of the Dragon and the Water Margin was 100,000 copies.
"Is Jiang Xingchen crazy? He is about to be hit, and he has even issued so many..."
"Twenty-hundred thousand volumes, Xingchen Collection is short of people. How much investment does he have to make so many of them in such a short time!"
"The Star Territory is located in a remote area, and the freight is very high. Moreover, it actually covers forty territories, so the freight is even higher!"
"Are he really stunned by this incident? He made wrong decisions one after another! Even if Xingchenling has money, he can't stand it like this, right?"
This time, even the fans of Zijing were not optimistic about Xingchen's receipt: "The cost of releasing 200,000 copies is still higher than that of others, and they can't compete with them at all! Jiang Xingchen's decision was too hasty. Even if we fully support it, it is impossible for everyone to buy more than ten copies..."
"You should focus on building monthly magazines. It is the right way to use Xingchen to attract various brand new news. Even if you have monthly magazines in other territories, it will not affect the sales of Xingchen monthly magazines..."
Those who pirated the script laughed. Isn’t Jiang Xingchen trying to die by himself? The cost is higher than ours, 200,000 copies, and he won’t even kill him.
Although the fans of Zijing were not optimistic about Jiang Xingchen's actions, they still supported them. On the day the novel was released, they arrived at the sales location.
However, when they saw the booklets and heard the price, they were all stunned.
"What is this? It seems that it is not white silk!"
"It's definitely not. The white silk is several times thicker than this one!"
"What, you said this is the whole story, not the volume! In fact, it actually... only one hundred yellow crystal coins!"
"How could such a thin book be the whole story..."
The sales points were in chaos, and this situation was completely beyond the expectations of fans. All kinds of questions emerged, and it was so noisy.
The shop owner smiled and he had questions asked by fans before. At that time, the Xingchen leader came to him and took out something called Shu, and he was shocked. What kind of thing is this? Such a few books actually wrote the whole story.
When he opened the book, he was even more shocked. God, the shapes of the fonts here are almost the same. They are not only clear, but also beautiful and easy to recognize. They are much better than those copied stories.
After flipping through a few pages, the sound was crisp, tough and soft, and the feel was very comfortable, which was much more convenient than turning the white silk.
"This... book only sells one hundred yellow crystal coins?" After being shocked at the time, the shop owner asked the person who came from Xingchen with a suspicious tone.
Now the pirated volumes outside require hundreds of yellow crystal coins, which is the whole book. It is both light and comfortable to watch. Even if you sell three hundred or five hundred yellow crystal coins, you will buy them.
"Yes, I'll sell 100 yellow crystal coins!" The man from Xingchen nodded and confirmed. The Lord said that what he wanted was not someone to buy, but what he wanted was a rush to buy, and everyone came to buy books and occupied the entire market.
The shop owner nodded, and his hands were trembling with excitement. He could fully imagine the expressions of people when they saw such books. And it could guarantee that once the news spread, a trend of buying will immediately form.
The facts were exactly the same as he imagined. When the fans of Bauhinia saw the books here, they were all stunned. The whole story only had one hundred yellow crystal coins. Picking up and flipping it, it was both light and convenient, and the handwriting inside was neat and uniform, far from comparable to the copied white silk.
Gradually, the fans of Bauhinia smiled, and all their previous worries turned into vanish. They only felt that the sound of the paper turning was so pleasant.
"Aren't you trying to beat us Jiang Xingchen? Let's see how you die this time!"
"We have to let more people know this news!"
"Hahahaha...it's so comfortable!"
Every Bauhinia fan was like the shop owner. After being shocked, they were all excited, and some couldn't help laughing.
"I'll give two books, the same book as the Dragon Bashu and the Water Margin!"
"I'll also give you two books..." (To be continued...)
