Chapter 2202 Please Do Not Spoil
Milo and Garland were taken aback when they heard the words. They looked at the girl on the stand, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. They didn't expect Boss Mai to have such a daughter besides the little boss.
Not only Garland and Milo, but the guests who lined up at the door were quite surprised when they saw the billboard and the two elf girls standing behind a desk full of comic books.
Boss Mai closed the door and disappeared for a month. After he came back, Maimi Restaurant started selling picture albums part-time?
Moreover, the asking price for a picture album is as high as 1,000 copper coins?
Although the dishes at Mami Restaurant are not cheap, they are of high quality and have been recognized by the guests.
But to say that the market price of a picture album is generally tens of copper coins, because it is painted by the daughter of Mai Boss and sold at the entrance of Mai Mi Restaurant, the price becomes as high as thousands of copper coins. .
"For one thousand copper coins, except for some limited-edition booklets in Luodu, it is difficult for even a big touch to sell at such a high price, unless it is a copied and colored version." Milo said while rubbing his chin.
"Why do you know the market so well?" Garland looked at him.
"I just heard about it, I don't understand it!" Milo said sternly, trying to conceal the fact that he had collected countless ** small books.
"The market in Chaos City is similar. Most of the picture book market is concentrated in the younger age group, so the price is relatively low." Harrison, who was standing behind them, interjected, "The brochures from Luodu City are indeed of very high quality. High, enviable resource..."
"Heroes see the same thing." Milo glanced back at him, showing an appreciative smile.
"Girl, does this album really cost a thousand copper coins?" Garland asked. The purpose of their visit today was to meet with Mag, conduct a new round of interviews, and get his next column.
Relying on McGonagall's manuscript, Shi Quan Shi Mei directly sold a record-breaking million copies in such a turbulent environment, becoming the highest-selling issue of the magazine since its inception.
Relying on the sales volume of this issue of the magazine, Shiquanshimei has also successfully secured the top spot in the magazine industry.
They stayed in Chaos City for a month, but the carrier pigeons from Luodu City hardly stopped.
The boss has already issued a death order. No matter what conditions Mr. McGonagall puts forward, he will be satisfied. He must sign an exclusive contribution agreement with Shi Quan Shi Mei Magazine.
This is a man who can change the pattern of gourmet magazines by himself, and his powerful influence is showing.
It's hard to imagine that a chef in Chaos City could one day influence magazine audiences from all over the Nolan continent.
So? Garland decided to get to know Mr. McGonagall's talented cartoonist daughter first.
He has seen Mag doting on the little boss? He knows that he is a true daughter slave.
For this kind of person, the easiest way to find what he likes? It is to start with his daughter.
Although the price of a thousand copper coins is a bit expensive? But as long as it can increase Mr. McGonagall's favorability for him, it is worth it.
Perhaps only one copy of these comics can be sold today? And if the only copy is bought by him, then something is different.
"Yes, sir? The price of the album is 1,000 copper coins per copy? And each person is limited to two copies." Molly said with a smile, calm and generous.
Mr. McGonagall said, if this picture album is placed in Luodu City, it will cost tens of thousands of copper coins per copy? Today, it is sold for one thousand copper coins per copy? It is simply a big sale at a reduced price.
"Is there still a purchase limit?" Garland was slightly taken aback.
The guests who lined up behind were also surprised.
Mamy Restaurant has always had a tradition of limited purchases of a limited number of delicacies, in order to allow more guests to taste the delicacies, and to prevent people from buying a large amount of food and reselling it.
Didn't expect this album not only cost a high price of 1,000 copper coins, but also limited purchase?
After thinking for a while, Garland regained his composure? He then said kindly, "Can I have a try?"
Mr. McGonagall is a wise man, which Garland can judge from the brief contact.
Such a person? Will not be so short-sighted as to take advantage of the customer's trust to casually harvest the customer's IQ tax, dare to mark a price of 1,000 copper coins? And set a purchase limit rule, the only possibility is - this album is worth it.
The guests also looked at the two little elf girls after hearing the words? Is this album worth a thousand copper coins? You can tell just by looking at it.
Eve picked up a thin album and handed it to Garland, and warned: "This is a trial version. After reading it, please don't spoil it."
Garland took the slim picture book, with a beautiful little mermaid on the cover.
"It turned out to be in color?!" Garland's eyes lit up, showing a bit of surprise.
The painting of The Little Mermaid is lifelike, and the painting style is extremely mature. It doesn't look like a novice's work at all, and it has even surpassed most of the painters in the market.
More importantly, this bright color is completely painted one stroke at a time, right?
Garland couldn't wait to open the album, and the content inside was also in color!
"Could it be a full-color album?!" Garland's heart skipped a beat. This is extremely rare in the album market.
As the editor-in-chief of a gourmet magazine, he has daily contact with some editors of picture books, and he still understands the market.
The price of a picture book of this quality is at least 30,000 copper coins.
Because such a picture book takes an excellent painter several months, the price is naturally not cheap.
Garland simply flipped through the trial version of only about ten pages. Whether it is the style of painting, the storyboard, or the story, they are all excellent, and the level of the artist can be seen from these.
If it really came from Mr. McGonagall's fourteen-year-old daughter, then she is indeed a talented cartoonist.
"Is the content and quality of this album the same as the trial version?" Garland looked at Eve and asked.
"Yes." Eve nodded firmly.
"Then I want two copies." Garland said without hesitation.
"What's the situation?" Milo asked in surprise, "Good book?"
"Buy two copies directly after reading the trial version?"
"Isn't this a trick?"
The guests also looked at Garland in amazement, a picture album of 1,000 copper coins is not cheap.
"Look for yourself." Garland handed the trial version of the album directly to Milo.
"So cute!" Milo looked at the little mermaid on the cover, his eyes lit up.
As a senior nerd, I have read countless books, and I can tell the rank of this painter at a glance.
The level is already above ninety-nine percent of the painters, and the control of the characters' demeanor is at the top of the pyramid.
This is a talent that cannot be learned.
This kind of person... is generally called a painting monster!
There is still room for polishing the skills, but this kind of completed painting is enough to make a living on it.
"Why is it colored?!" Milo quickly asked the same question as Garland.
