Chapter 94.
The 13th day of the first lunar month in the 29th year of Hongwu.
On this day, the fat man Hu Gua came over early in the morning. In addition to the part of the money exchanged for Liu Wenyang Ye Mingzhu, it was mainly for the purpose of getting the "paper".
When he saw what Liu Wenyang copied, he was even a little confused about his eyes.
These stories are so wonderful! They are so wonderful that he can't bear to release the book.
If he had been half-believing and half-doubting about Liu Wenyang before, then now he is already impressed by Liu Wenyang.
"This book is so wonderful. I don't know what its name is?" the fat man couldn't help asking.
"Strange stories from a Chinese Studio!" Liu Wenyang said. After taking the soup and took the medicine this morning, he took the medicine sent by Chun Shisanniang. His health was much better.
"This name is good! But I don't know which house is Liaozhai?" The fat man blinked.
Liu Wenyang smiled and said, "It's just the name of the study, don't take it seriously."
"It's probably your former study room, Mr. Liu. Haha, the name is very appropriate!"
"Then I'll use it to engrave it?"
"Of course, I must carefully craft such a beautiful work!"
Seeing that the fat man was about to leave, Liu Wenyang stopped him and said, "I have something to tell you!"
Then Liu Wenyang taught all the tricks published in his previous life to Fatty Hu Gua.
Liu Wenyang told this guy that when publishing this book, you must first remember to design the cover!
A good cover is equivalent to half of success!
The cover of "Guangyun" which was very famous in the previous life: black and white noise suppresses large characters, high-end, atmospheric and high-end!
Secondly, trademarks are very important!
The trademark trick is said to have come from Yu Xiangdou, a genius from the publishing industry in Jian'an in his previous life. He designed the "Santaishan people Yu Yangzhi's shadow picture" as a trademark: there are pictures and cognitions, and there are words and communications.
Finally, there must be five emphasis.
The first emphasis is that our book is “good inscribed, complete content, and detailed proofreading”!
Because all bookstores are printing books, there are too many versions of various books, and it is very common to cut corners to reduce prices, so you must say that your books are complete and good.
The second emphasis: Our book is "illustrated"!
The embroidered books, the appearance, and the appearance of the Ming Dynasty books are the basics, and the era of reading pictures has begun long ago. Of course, the illustrations of some novels are very, very important. For example, some medical books, such as some art books! Art books!
The third emphasis: Our book "with comments"!
In ancient times, books without comments were called "Baishou Book", and books with comments were called "Praise or Review Books. Book merchants often make two money. The most famous copy book in the Ming Dynasty was the six talented books criticized by Jin Shengtan, but the most original one is to say that Yu Xiangdou created the "Pinglin" book without precedent. It is super rich in pictures and texts, and can be called a fighter in the comment industry. The upper, middle and lower columns are full of pictures and texts!
Fourth highlight: Our book has a preface to the famous people.
For example, Lu Kun, the author of "Morning Word", wrote a book called "The Book of the Bouquet" (this is a moral reading book that promotes chaste women. Girls can't always read "Jin Ping Mei", right? The emperor's wife, Concubine Zheng, wrote a preface for this book "The Book of the Bouquet"!!! The books sold tens of thousands of books!
The fifth point emphasizes that this book is a limited edition! The fewer it is, the more refined it is. The principle that rare things are precious and eternal.
Liu Wenyang used the vocabulary of this era to fat Hu Guatou. Of course, in order to avoid the problem of time travel, Yu Xiangdou did not mention anything like "Jin Ping Mei".
Even so, Liu Wenyang's words made the little fat man feel unfathomable. Looking at Liu Wenyang's eyes, it was like a believer who saw the great god in his mind, and he was looking up to him!!!
...
Finally, the fat man Hu Gua was so beautiful that he took "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and left.
Liu Wenyang wanted to get up to move, but was stopped by Tong Mingyue and asked him to lie on the bed to rest.
Helplessly, Liu Wenyang had to lie down again.
Hu Gua was very fast. As soon as she returned to Buyi Bookstore, she entrusted the draft of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" to the skilled sculptor, and told them to carve this article in the fastest way. If she did it well, she would have a red envelope!
The sculptors thought that the bookstore was about to go bankrupt and they would lose their jobs. Unexpectedly, the bookstore not only did not go bankrupt, but also had a job at hand. So they started to move very hard.
Since ancient times, the way to engrave books is concerned with the basic version. Hu Gua himself comes from a family of bookshops from Buyi Bookstore. Of course, he understands this. Moreover, he has the financial assistance provided by Liu Wenyang, so he is not stingy and actually engraved the basic version into a lotus version.
What is a lotus version? Lotus petals are engraved on the edge of the book, which look lush and beautiful.
In fact, when printing this section, Hu Gua had already decided that this book must be distributed "limited" and is definitely not comparable to those street goods or major street goods. Therefore, it can be said that the quality of this book can be said to be spared no effort.
For two days, the whole Buyi Bookstore was busy, and even the fat man Hu Gua didn't have time to drink a bite of tea. Instead, he kept visiting his friends and selling his newly released limited edition "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" to the high-end and wealthy families.
Not to mention, there are some wealthy families in Poyang City, and some are rich families. They don’t have any books on weekdays, but I just haven’t heard of this “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio”. At first, I was very careless and thought the little fat man was bragging, but when the fat man took out the sample manuscript and showed them, they were shocked. It was not because the book was so exquisite, but because the story content was so wonderful and wonderful!
"Ah, it's a genius to see such a masterpiece!"
"I read this book and I don't know the taste of meat for three days!"
...
Amid all kinds of praises, the fat man sold a hundred such "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" without any effort. Because some have not been printed yet, they can only book.
These wealthy families in Poyang City like to show off, not to mention that it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and relatives and friends come here, and those who have hidden the limited edition of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" can't help but take it out and appreciate it with their friends.
This was awesome. After reading this book, the people were immediately attracted by the content and the story, so they asked where to buy it.
Buyi Bookstore suddenly became a place that everyone was keen to visit again, but the fat man raised the price on the grounds that he limited 500 books, and the cost of making this book itself was very expensive, so a book was sold at a sky-high price of fifty taels of silver!
In this way, the profit of selling books alone is as high as 20,000 taels, which can be said to be an absolute huge profit!
However, compared to people's enthusiasm for this book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", they are even more curious about the author of this book.
Who is this "Mr. Liaozhai"?!
They are curious!
But the fat man was very strict and said that this book only published more than a dozen articles, and there were many great "Sir Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" behind it, still brewing and creating...
As a result, everyone became even more interested in this mysterious writer, and there were even people who paid a lot of money to find out who this "Sir Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" was.
Among them, there are many bookstore owners and some book dealers who are interested in finding this mysterious man and contract the second half of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
