In the next few days, Ji Ran's Bookstore seemed to be on high speed. New activities were launched almost every two or three days. Many children from rich families who like to read novels complained that their wallets could not bear it.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" quickly attracted a large number of readers with its easy-to-understand vernacular style, flesh-and-blood characters, and the martial arts world of gratification and revenge. The first volume was sold out within half a day of its release.
Careful readers also found that the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce's slogans were printed on small areas at the bottom of many papers, but this did not affect the reading experience. Moreover, books with advertisements were one or two silver cheaper than normal books, so they did not bother with them.
However, this novel way of publicity quickly entered the eyes of businessmen in the city.
Coincidentally, on the next day, Jiran Bookstore launched a book advertising space for rent, and placed a joint poster with the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce in the most conspicuous position in the building. Affected by this, several stores under the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce became famous.
It even completely suppressed the heat of the "Jianghai Chamber of Commerce killings" in the past few days.
In this way, many store owners followed suit and looked for Tang Ji to discuss advertising space.
Nanchengfang City, in a certain rouge shop.
Standing behind the counter, a short and thin middle-aged man wearing a dark brown robe touched his nose, his waxy face showed a sad look, and he let out a deep sigh.
Since a rouge shop opened in the next street, the business in the shop has been greatly affected. Now it is almost empty, and if this continues, it will have to close down.
At this moment, a man with a pockmarked face and a somewhat wretched look walked in, stuffed the melon seeds in his hand into his mouth, and after crushing them, he spat them out on the ground: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lao Yuan, you were in Nancheng before this after all.
Why has one of the best rouge shops fallen into such a state now?"
Yuan Qidong was upset at this time. When he heard the other party's slightly sarcastic words, he raised his hand and cursed: "Han, don't bark like a dog here, and don't spit melon seed shells on the ground."
Hearing this, Kang Kang was not angry but smiled: "Ah, I am telling the truth..."
He wanted to say a few more words, but found that the other party had already raised the broom placed next to the counter and shouted quickly: "Okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going. I have some bad news to tell you, so forget it if you don't listen.
I guess your rouge shop will be closed in a few days."
But before Kang went out, he was stopped by Yuan Qidong: "If you fart, hurry up!"
"That's how you beg for help..." **Kang wanted to complain, but noticed the other person's eyes were about to burst into flames, so he had to get down to business first: "When I went to Ji Ran Bookstore to discuss cooperation at noon,
I saw He Qun was there too."
Jiran Bookstore's book advertising space has been rumored in the past two days. Yuan Qidong naturally understood it, but he became even more anxious after hearing the word "He Qun", because that guy opened the rouge shop in the next street. If he continues
He really couldn't do anything if he asked Ji Ran Bookstore to help him promote it, so he hurriedly asked: "How is the advertising space for this book priced?"
"This advertising space is also divided into A and B. The A space will be printed on the cover of the book. The price is very expensive. A book costs one or two silver, but the ordinary space printed on the bottom of the paper is much cheaper. One piece only costs 20 cents."
**Kang relayed to him what he learned from the bookshop.
Yuan Qidong nodded slightly. He originally did not believe that this so-called advertisement could attract customers to the store, but since He Qun had already voted, he was naturally not to be outdone and planned to go to his wife to ask for money soon.
He came back to his senses, his mood relaxed a little, and he bowed his hands to Kang: "Thank you so much, Brother Han."
"Hey, we're all old friends. What's the point of thanking you? Having said that, Ji Ran's Bookstore is so profitable. It sells books and advertises. I hope the advertising can have some effect and add more money to my little shabby shop.
It's a bit popular, but I'm afraid the Lin family will be the worst off this time." Kang sighed and continued to crack melon seeds.
Yuan Qidong frowned slightly and asked curiously: "What happened to the Lin family?"
"Lao Yuan, don't you know? The shopkeeper of Ji Ran Bookstore is the most talented man in Huaizhou, Tang Ji. He came from the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce. This time, any shop that does business with the Lin family will be shut out."
After listening to **Kang's words, Yuan Qidong couldn't help but shook his head. He was also doing business. Tang Ji, a little kid, didn't know how much better he was than him. He sighed: "This talented man is not easy to mess with."
After a while, Kang Kang smashed all the melon seeds in his hand and clapped his hands: "Okay, I'm leaving now. I spent more than 20 taels of silver today, and I will spend 50 taels on books the next day. I hope they are really worth collecting.
, if I resell it later, I can make a lot of money.”
Yuan Qidong knew what kind of virtuous person the other party was. In addition to reading account books, he would also read other books, let alone fifty-tael books. He stopped him again: "Old Han, what about these fifty-tael books?"
What's going on?"
**Kang looked at the other party in confusion: "Hey? Lao Yuan, you used to be a know-it-all, and you knew all the big and small things in the city at the first time. What happened now? Ji Ran Bookstore is going to sell 100 sets of "Journey to the West" collector's edition.
, limited time limit, will no longer exist in the future. It is said that if you buy it now and sell it later, the price can double. If this happens in the next few decades, one book will be enough to eat until you die!"
"Is this true?" Yuan Qidong asked.
"It's really true, but there are only a hundred copies. Whether I can grab it is still a question." After saying that, **Kang shook his head and walked out of the store, not forgetting to take a can of good rouge with him.
Yuan Qidong had already been stunned on the spot. If this collector's edition of "Journey to the West" was really of such value, he would definitely try to grab it. After coming to his senses, he turned around and ran towards the backyard.
In the backyard, a well-dressed woman was making a bouquet. When she saw Yuan Qidong coming in, she asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't say so much, get it for me first..." Yuan Qidong looked at the sky, counted silently with his fingers, and continued: "Get me one hundred taels of silver!"
The Yuan family has been in the rouge business for more than ten years, and they can still easily come up with a hundred taels of silver, but since it was so much in one go, the woman still asked for the reason.
After listening to Yuan Qidong's explanation, she sighed: "Since it's for the shop, I'll get it for you."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the house.
Soon, Yuan Qidong excitedly returned to the store with the money, saying something like "I will definitely turn around this time."
The woman shook her head and was about to sit down on the chair again when a young girl with a fresh look took her arm.
"Mom, give me five taels of silver." The girl in a blue sarong blinked her eyes and said softly.
The woman turned to look at her, with a hint of displeasure in her tone: "You prodigal girl, didn't I just give you two taels of silver yesterday?"
"Ah, isn't that where I buy clothes? Ji Ran Bookstore will publish a new book in the next issue, called "The Peony Pavilion". Yuanyuan and the others are planning to buy it, and my daughter also wants it..." The girl tugged on the woman's sleeves.
, swaying slightly, with a pleading tone in his tone.
"Yes, yes, you want everything!" The woman glared at her, but still took out five taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it over.
The girl quickly took it and posted it excitedly: "Thank you, Mom, I know Mom is the best!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the house.
The woman shook her head and murmured: "What's going on with you two, father and daughter? Are you all in a hurry to give money to Ji Ran's Bookshop?"
