Chapter Five Hundred and Sixtieth Profit

"What should I do if the system forces me to copy books ()" Find the latest chapter!

"Hey~ Me, Lai Lai from the University District."

"That's right! The reason why I called you is that I want to ask you for help."

"No, no, it's not as serious as you said, and it's going up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire. The relationship between our two brothers doesn't involve such hypocrisy!"

"Isn't that "Dragon Race" going on sale today? I ordered 50,000 copies from Man Jinghua before and it was sold out at once. I remember you said in the group that you ordered a total of 80,000 copies. Yes, I mean, can you distribute a little bit of 10,000 to 20,000 copies for my younger brother, so I can help out first?"

"What!? You don't have that anymore!? No way!"

"Find Lao Zhang from Chaoyang? He ordered a full 100,000 volumes at that time? Okay, okay, I'll call and try."

"..."

"Hello, is that Lao Zhang? Lai Lai from my university town."

"That's it, x-on:!#~￥%"

"No again? No way, didn't you buy 100,000 volumes at that time, I just used it as an emergency, and when I replenish the stock tomorrow, I will... beep, beep, beep."

After Manager Lai made three or four phone calls in a row, they all returned in a hurry. If the relationship was good, maybe he would exchange a few words. If the relationship was not good, he just asked for a batch of "Dragon Clan" to be rescued by Jianghu. It didn't take a minute for the other party to hang up the phone.

To put it simply, it's one sentence: you can ask for other books, but you can't ask for "Dragon Race"!

At the beginning, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't even know that his Xinhua Bookstore located in the University District could sell out the 50,000 copies of "Dragon Race" in such a short period of time. The situation must be worse than worse, let alone a small 50,000 volumes, it is estimated that 80,000 volumes will not be able to hold on later, and then the 100,000 volumes will not be good, and you should start to worry up.

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy! Sorry..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy! Sorry..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy! Sorry..."

Since it is impossible to find a colleague to dismantle it, store manager Lai has no other better way to turn to the publisher, that is, Manjinghua Publishing Company. Unfortunately, what he can think of is bookstore owners all over the country. How could it be unexpected that although the quantity of 50,000 copies is not a lot in Yanjing, the capital of China, there are still some people in other cities who are not brave enough to order to buy 10,000 to 20,000 copies.

The retail price of a paperback version of "Dragon Race" is 30 yuan, and the purchase price of bookstore owners from the publisher is basically in the range of 22-24 yuan. Excluding miscellaneous expenses such as shipping fees and electricity fees, the income will be at least 100 yuan. Between 15% and 18%. It's a very simple math problem. For example, if the profit of a paperback edition of Dragon Family is 6 yuan, Boss Lai's sales of 50,000 copies will be as much as 300,000 yuan.

At the moment when e-books are becoming more and more popular, physical bookstores are not as profitable as they were in the 1990s. It is considered a high-spirited business to earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in a month after excluding various costs. In the end, the books in the warehouse had to lose money when they were packaged and sold as waste products, and they made a net loss. It is not bad to earn hundreds of thousands a year!

Comparing the two, I almost earned nearly three years of profit in one day!

Saying that "Dragon Race" is a cash cow, I believe bookstore owners all over the country will not have the slightest objection.

In such a situation where time is money, in the face of the dismantling request of the peers, no one would hesitate to categorically reject it. If you borrow 10,000 to 20,000 copies, it is equivalent to losing 100,000 to 80,000. Who wants to?

Purely published novels such as "Dragon Race" are better. Instead of physical published books of online novels, the real money is actually when the first batch of fans and readers buy them.

Subsequent sales will drop rapidly. Books are not necessities of life, let alone consumables. Many people would be fine if they just bought one, and some cash-strapped would even buy one together to borrow from each other. Therefore, the more time goes by, the more people will buy. few.

"Store Manager Lai, you've been on the phone for a long time, can you tell us if this book is still available?"

"Yes, yes, I have to go back to work in the afternoon."

"Every minute you waste, you are wasting more than 100 minutes of more than 100 people present!"

"Delaying time won't solve the problem, store manager, you have to give us those who have been queuing for half a day an explanation."

"..."

Seeing Store Manager Lai holding his mobile phone against his ear and never putting it down, his mouth closed quickly. Although he couldn't hear the specific content, and he wasn't that high-end to understand lip language, the big guy was not stupid. I haven't come back for a long time, and with the passage of time, I can roughly judge one or two from the increasingly ugly face. Now everyone who was full of joy and thought that they could buy "Dragon Race" suddenly felt resentful and couldn't help but make a fuss stand up.

People's mentality is sometimes affected by the environment.

Manager Lai's mentality at this time inevitably began to become extremely impatient. He glanced at the phone screen and dialed the sales manager of Manjinghua Publishing Company as many as seventeen times, but each time he received no response. The sentimental mechanical answer "The number you dialed is busy, please try again later!"

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Thank God, at the moment when I dialed out for the nineteenth time, it was finally connected!

"Hello, is this Manager Ouyang from Manjinghua? I'm Manager Lai from Xinhua Bookstore in Yanjing University District. I want to order a batch of "Dragon Race" books with you. Thirty thousand... No! I’m here for 50,000 copies, and I’ll send the full amount to you right away.”

"Mr. Lai, please wait, please wait first~ You first listen to me to tell you: We have sent all the first printed books of "Dragon Race" to all parts of the country, and now our warehouse is really full of books. No more, even the book preparations that were originally intended to be used for book exhibitions and book signings have been sent out more than an hour ago. Now it’s not just your store that needs money urgently, you can contact me right now Not fifty or sixty, at least thirty or forty."

"Then what should I do? In my store, a lot of readers who have queued up and failed to buy books will gather around the store and will not leave. Manager Ouyang this time, you will help my brother through this difficult time no matter what."

"Brother Lai, it's not that I don't help you, but that I really can't do anything. I'm not afraid to tell you that this time it was indeed a mistake in our estimate of the number of copies to be printed, and the printing factory is already working overtime to rush to print. Almost immediately after printing out a batch, some nearby bosses can’t wait to pick up the goods and take them away!"

"Manager Ouyang, please wait a moment..."

Manager Lai didn’t understand what he heard here. It’s not the old-fashioned way of not throwing hawks when you don’t see rabbits, and don’t bite hooks when you don’t see bait. In line with the principle of not paying big money for small money, he gritted his teeth and entered the other party’s mobile phone number on Alipay to transfer money. Ten thousand dollars passed. .

"Alipay received 10,000 yuan!"

Hearing the content automatically broadcasted by his mobile phone, Manager Ouyang showed a satisfied smile: "I also know your difficulties, brother, so now you rush to Chengxi Huamei Printing Factory to find their supervisor, and I will say hello there Yes, the printed batch of 20,000 copies will be taken away by you first."

"Okay! Thank you so much, Manager Ouyang."

"No matter what, this is what I should do!"
