Chapter 266 Newspaper Sales
"Uncle, I am selling newspapers!"
A twelve or thirteen-year-old newspaper boy stopped in his tracks, and then said to the interrogator, "Uncle, this newspaper contains a lot of good news and anecdotes, and there is also a novel written by Yang Sanlang in it."
"Is there a new novel written by Yang Sanlang? Then how do you sell this newspaper?" the man asked the newsboy.
"Uncle, this newspaper costs six cents a piece," said the newsboy.
"What? So expensive?" Hearing what the newsboy said, the person who asked the question suddenly didn't want to buy it.
Going to the theater in Goulan only costs a dozen or twenty yuan, but this kind of shabby newspaper sells for six yuan, which is too expensive.
"Uncle, it's not expensive, just listen to me explain it to you and you'll understand."
The newsboy said to the man: "Such a large piece of paper costs three pennies, but our newspapers have more than ten thousand characters in content. If you ask a scribe to copy the book, it will cost at least several hundred dollars to copy the ten thousand characters." What about Wenqian, and now, you can buy a newspaper with more than [-] characters for only six Wenqian, so is this still expensive?"
"This……"
Hearing the newsboy's explanation, the man thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
"Then, can I see what's in your newspaper first?" the man asked the newsboy.
"Yes, but I can only show you a little bit first. Only by buying the newspaper can you read all the contents," the newsboy said to the man.
"Okay, show it to me quickly." The man nodded and said.
Afterwards, the newsboy took out a newspaper and handed it to the man.
After the man took the newspaper, he began to read it on the street.
At this time, many people gathered around on the street, all watching the excitement.
"Uncle, I've read it for so long, do you want to buy this newspaper? If you don't buy it, return it to me, and I'll sell it elsewhere." A few minutes later, the newsboy urged the man.
At this time, the man was reading the newspaper with high interest, and when he heard the newsboy's words, he took out six copper coins from his pocket, handed them to the newsboy and said, "I bought this newspaper."
"Thank you, uncle." After receiving the money, the newsboy immediately burst into a smile.
"My lord, how is this newspaper? What is written on it?" Someone saw that the man had bought the newspaper, and immediately asked the man.
"This newspaper is very good. If you want to read it, you can buy it yourself." The man said to everyone.
After speaking, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd and left with the newspaper, as if he was afraid that others would read his newspaper.
"Kid, sell me a newspaper too, and I'll see what it is." Someone said to the newsboy.
"Okay, thank you, uncle." The newsboy took the money, then took out a newspaper and handed it to the person who bought it.
The smile on his face became even bigger.
On this day, countless newsboys shuttled through the streets and alleys of Lin'an City, constantly yelling and selling newspapers.
In the beginning, only a small number of people bought the newspaper.
However, as the newsboys kept yelling, at noon or afternoon, some people who had heard the yelling several times couldn't help being curious and bought a newspaper.
Everything in the newspaper is very interesting to people who have never seen the newspaper.
After seeing the content of Yang Sanlang's new serialized novels, some people felt that it was worth spending six cents.
Yang Sanlang's novels are generally only available through a few channels.
First, spend money to buy handwritten copies of Yang Sanlang's novels, but the price is probably not within the reach of ordinary people.
If you can’t afford manuscripts, you can also go to Goulan to listen to storytelling by storytellers, because as soon as Yang Sanlang’s novels come out, the storytellers will change them into storytelling stories.
Now, people who want to read Yang Sanlang's new novels have another channel, which is to buy newspapers every day.
Because the novels of Yang Sanlang are serialized in newspapers every day.
With the publication of the newspaper, some storytellers soon discovered that there was a new novel by Yang Sanlang on it.
So, the storyteller who discovered the secret adapted the story into storytelling the next day, which made all audiences hooked.
Later, reviewers also discovered that not only novels in newspapers, but also news in newspapers, anecdotes, etc., could all be told in the form of storytelling in the check column, and the audience liked to listen.
"Saburo, we sold a total of 1000 and [-] newspapers today. Including the hundreds of newspapers you gave away, there are only less than [-] copies.
Excluding the labor and costs required to print newspapers, as well as the wages and commissions paid to newsboys, we not only did not earn a penny, but also lost several pennies. "In the evening, Lu Ziyu said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"It doesn't matter. If today's newspapers are not sold out, they can still be sold tomorrow," Zhang Qingfeng said nonchalantly.
For the distribution of newspapers, Zhang Qingfeng has long been psychologically prepared to lose money.
Newspapers, after all, are new and strange things, and most people have a feeling of repulsion towards strange things.
As long as the newspapers continue to be published and the contents of the newspapers continue to ferment, he believes that the sales of the newspapers will increase sooner or later. As long as the sales increase, the newspapers will also make money sooner or later.
The next day, the newspapers continued to be published, and on the streets of Lin'an City, the shouts of newsboys appeared one after another again.
Today, the sales of newspapers have increased significantly.
"More than 2000 copies of the newspaper printed today were sold, and hundreds of copies of yesterday's newspaper were also sold." Lu Ziyu said to Zhang Qingfeng.
"That's good. It will definitely go up tomorrow." Zhang Qingfeng nodded.
On the third day, the newspaper continued to issue.
On this day, the sales volume of the newspaper directly broke through the [-]-copy mark.
Along with this, a lot of newspapers from yesterday and the day before yesterday were also purchased.
A few days later, as the newspaper continued to ferment, Zhang Qingfeng's [-] copies of the newspaper printed every day were sold out immediately.
The sales volume of [-] newspapers finally allowed Zhang Qingfeng to stop losing money and instead make some money.
At least several hundred copies of these newspapers were bought by storytellers in various Goulan Washe Teahouses and restaurants in Lin'an City.
With the publication of Zhang Qingfeng's newspaper, the storytelling in the Goulan suddenly changed from Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai, and Mr. Zhu's Spring and Autumn Romance to Magellan's Voyage Diary.
Guang is a storyteller in Lin'an City.It can bring hundreds of sales to Zhang Qingfeng every day.
In addition to storytellers, there are naturally opera newspapers, opera singers, and people from drama troupes. Many of these people also bought one or even several newspapers.
Zhang Qingfeng's novels do not only influence storytellers.Most opera, drama, drama and other troupes will adapt Zhang Qingfeng's novels.
When the Romance of the Gods became popular, they adapted the Romance of the Gods, and when the Legend of the White Snake became popular, they focused on the Legend of the White Snake.When Liang Zhu became popular, they adapted Liang Zhu again.
Now that Zhang Qingfeng's new novel "Magellan's Voyage Diary" is out, they naturally set their sights on it again.
Apart from the people in Goulan Washe's circle, the ones who sold the most newspapers were the scholars in Lin'an.
Especially in the streets where Guozijian and Taixue are located, as long as the newsboys come every day, it won't take long for many newspapers to be robbed.
This has led to newsboys going around the street every morning, noon and evening until the students of Taixue and Guozijian have bought enough.
"Brother Jin, tell me, is the ground under our feet really round?"
In Taixue, some Taixue students held newspapers in their hands and discussed the serialized novel "Magellan's Voyage Diary".
"How could it be round? If it were round, wouldn't the person on the other side of the ball fall?" said a Tai student.
"But didn't it say that the earth is attractive and can attract all things on the ground, so it makes sense that the earth is round." Another grand student said.
