Chapter 96
"Yes, Your Highness, you are rich!" Xiao Yushu pursed her lips and smiled.
Tang Yu stared at the two women and said in shock: "Are you kidding me? Why are there so many?"
Although The Deer and the Cauldron is unprecedentedly popular, the Deer and the Cauldron is only one book after all. In China, buying the entire volume of The Deer and the Cauldron can cost you at most one or two hundred yuan.
Before time travel, Tang Yu occasionally looked at the Internet. Reading all the Internet serials with millions of words only cost a few hundred yuan. What Tang Yu never expected was that a mere copy of The Deer and the Cauldron could actually benefit him. Make so much money.
"Your Highness, this is all thanks to sister Wan'er!" Xiao Yushu said.
Ning Wan'er didn't hide anything. She looked around and saw no one around, and then said: "Tang Yu, you have to know that in the Tang Dynasty, there are very few entertainment projects. Many books are written by ancient sages. There are many books to read." It was boring, so I asked people to copy The Deer and the Cauldron. At first, I made a thousand copies and distributed them to the streets for free!"
"Sure enough, The Deer and the Cauldron became a hit! Then, I asked people to copy the subsequent plot, and it was still free to watch! When everyone watched it and talked about it, I started selling it. In the capital, there were countless rich and powerful businessmen, and I sold one copy of the text for one Who would have thought that two pieces of silver would be wiped out on the first day!"
"So I asked people to increase the number of copies, and tens of thousands of copies were sold the next day. From then on, the reader base of The Deer and the Cauldron was getting bigger and bigger, and it was out of control! Sister Yushu suggested that I get some collector's editions. The collector's edition is based on ten copies per copy. Two silver coins, many powerful and wealthy businessmen like the collector's edition, the collector's edition is highly profitable and sells a lot!"
"Currently, only half of The Deer and the Cauldron has been released. If Tang Yu leaves all the follow-up work to us, we estimate that we can earn millions of taels of silver by the time it's over!"
"Awesome!" After hearing Ning Wan'er's words, Tang Yu was so shocked that he could only say these two words.
Remember URL
He knew that Ning Wan'er was born in the Ning family, the richest businessman in the capital, and had economic acumen, but Tang Yu really didn't expect that Ning Wan'er could make so much money using the Deer and Cauldron.
Stunned, Tang Yu was really stunned.
He had been shouting slogans about making money before, but he never expected that in just half a month, Ning Waner and Xiao Yushu would make him so much money.
Xiao Yushu's beautiful eyes flashed and said: "Your Highness, why don't you give us all the follow-up texts, so that you can make more money!"
"That's inappropriate!" Tang Yu touched his chin and said.
Xiao Yushu said in surprise: "Your Highness, why is it inappropriate?"
"Teacher Xiao, think about it. At present, The Deer and the Cauldron is just a fire in the capital, but it has not spread to other counties. As time goes by, The Deer and the Cauldron will gradually spread across the country, and the audience will also grow. When we release the follow-up plot, won't it? Aren’t they selling more?”
"If we publish them all in one breath, it won't be interesting for everyone to read. We need to maintain a popularity, and there is a disadvantage of publishing too fast, that is, there will be too much piracy. If there is too much piracy, how can we make money? So, We will slowly serialize the follow-up plot of The Deer and the Cauldron, and take a long-term approach to catch big fish!" Tang Yu chuckled.
When Tang Yu finished speaking, Ning Wan'er said with a look of shock: "Tang Yu, I thought I was already a profiteer, but I didn't expect that compared to you, I am nothing compared to you. The real profiteer is you!"
"Your Highness is right!" Xiao Yushu suddenly realized.
Tang Yu smiled mischievously: "This is not called a profiteer, but a wise way of making money! Now the situation in the court is not good for me. I can only make more money. As long as I have enough capital, even if the civil and military officials of the court do not support me, I still have enough foundation. Fight them!"
"Well! Tang Yu, do you have any other entertainment ideas? You invent it and I'll popularize it!" Ning Wan'er looked expectant.
"Let me think about it!"
Tang Yu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes!"
"What?" the two women said in unison.
Tang Yu said bluntly: "Mahjong!"
"Mahjong? What is mahjong?" the two women asked curiously.
Tang Yu chuckled: "Follow me!"
With the two girls, Tang Yu approached Lu Qiu and told Lu Qiu his idea. Lu Qiu quickly made a mahjong table and mahjong according to Tang Yu's request.
"This is Mahjong!" Tang Yu said seriously.
Mahjong, a kind of intellectual game and four-player domino game, is popular in the Chinese cultural circle and originated in China. Mahjong is played in various ways and is loved by people. The most famous ones are International Mahjong, Sichuan Blood Mahjong, etc. In China, Whether in cities or rural areas, mahjong stalls are common.
