"The setting sun rolls up the embroidered curtains, and the water under the pavilion reaches the sky. I know that you have made a new work for me, and the windows are wet with green and red. I remember that in the Pingshan Hall, I pillowed on the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lone star disappeared. I recognized the drunken old man's words, and the mountain scenery was mixed."
The setting sun, the green mountains, the lonely pavilion.
Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his hands, watching the river below the pavilion connecting with the blue sky, the sunset in the distance reflecting the pavilion, the mountains appearing in the sunset, the beautiful scenery vast and empty, he couldn't help but feel something, and whispered softly .
"Good poem, good poem! I didn't expect my junior brother to be so talented in literature!" There was a burst of applause from the side, and not far from the pavilion, Xu Mengyun was seen walking towards him with a smile.
"Senior sister, I've received the award. This sentence was not written by me, but by a poet from my hometown." Lin Chen turned around and smiled slightly.
"With a person of such literary talent and a romantic figure like Junior Brother, Junior Brother's hometown is really a place of outstanding people!" Xu Mengyun blinked her eyes like autumn water and said in appreciation.
"Of course." Lin Chen smiled slightly and looked into the distance, but his voice was a little low, "I just don't know when I can go back..."
"What?" Lin Chen's voice behind him was too low, and Xu Mengyun couldn't hear it clearly.
"It's nothing, senior sister, let's talk about business!" Lin Chen quickly came back to his senses and said seriously.
"Business, what business?" Xu Mengyun turned her beautiful eyes and said jokingly, "We are in the same room at dusk. I wonder what business my junior brother wants to discuss with my senior sister?"
"Of course it's a good thing." Lin Chen said openly.
"Oh?" Xu Mengyun looked at Lin Chen with interest.
"Senior sister, please take a look at this." Lin Chen's face remained calm as he took out two stacks of books from his storage bag and handed them over.
Um?
Xu Mengyun took a closer look and saw a stack of books handed over. The cover of the top one had a few big words written on it:
"Sister, please respect yourself! 》
? ? ?
Xu Mengyun looked confused, hesitated for a moment, and then opened it and took a look.
Uh-huh!
Opening the cover, there was a picture on the first page. The first impression it gave Xu Mengyun was:
? ? ? ! ! !
Xu Mengyun glanced down at herself subconsciously, and then looked at Lin Chen strangely.
With the idea of not seeing the whole story and not expressing opinions easily, Xu Mengyun continued to read and found that the following contained text mixed with pictures.
[Senior sister invited me to go to the cave, and because of her identity, I had no choice but to agree.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door and entered the courtyard, he saw a mist, which was so unreal.
When I was confused, unexpectedly, my senior sister attacked me brazenly from the dark.
Without warning, I fell into a trap.
The attack was so dangerous that I had no choice but to fight.
…
Note: There are pictures and the truth
】
While she was reading, Lin Chen took out a tea set, made two cups of spiritual tea, took a sip, looked at Xu Mengyun who was getting dull, and said with a smile.
"What do you think, senior sister?"
Xu Mengyun suddenly fell silent.
She believed that she was born into a merchant family in the mortal world. Her family was extremely wealthy and she had met many people since she was a child. Not to mention that she had experienced many things after entering the Immortal Sect.
But the current scene was completely beyond her understanding.
The boy I like gave me a book of this type, and what did I think of it?
What should she say, is the one in the book not as good as her own?
"Uh, um... Junior brother, you are really a sweetheart, and you are quite good at it." Xu Mengyun hesitated for a while before saying hesitantly.
"So how much does Senior Sister think this book is worth?" Lin Chen didn't notice the weirdness in her tone and continued to ask.
"Huh???" Xu Mengyun reacted quickly.
It turns out that junior brother wants to sell books?
'I thought he was hinting at something, but it turns out...' This thought flashed through Xu Mengyun's mind, but she quickly came back to her senses.
"Junior brother, do you want me to sell these books to earn spiritual stones?"
"It's not just about selling books, it's about selling these books in large quantities to form a brand, and at the same time, it suppresses the monks who sell similar books in the sect and dominates the market." Lin Chen said lightly.
"But what if someone copies it?" Xu Mengyun asked.
"I believe that senior sister can handle this with her ability, right? If it doesn't work, just let the person who made the copy disappear unexpectedly!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"This..." Xu Mengyun was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while, "Even if piracy can be eradicated, as far as I know, it is not easy to squeeze out others and dominate the market."
"Don't worry, senior sister." Lin Chen picked up a book with a smile on his face, "Go ahead and sell it, I have the confidence."
"Oh? Why is junior brother so confident?"
Compared with the previous cramps and weirdness, Xu Mengyun adjusted her mentality at this moment and did not read the book on the table. Instead, she relaxed and asked curiously.
After all, after so many years of experience, she is no longer the kind of lady who is shy about teasing. Although Lin Chen did shock her when he gave her such a book before, she quickly recovered.
"The mainstream of the market now are those obscure ancient Chinese books, such as "The Shadow of Flowers Behind the Curtain", "Spring in the Jade House" and so on..." Lin Chen said lightly.
In order to analyze the market, he read all these books.
"I have to admit that although these books are not easy to understand, the meanings in them are easy to arouse people's imagination. In the eyes of different monks, they can satisfy their imaginations to varying degrees, but they have a very fatal flaw, they are not straightforward enough." Lin Chen He bent his index finger and tapped the table.
"Since you said earlier that the advantage of this kind of book is that it arouses people's imagination, why do you also say that its disadvantage is that it is not straightforward enough?" Xu Mengyun frowned and caught the contradiction in Lin Chen's words.
"Dreams require time and mental energy. For monks with a lot of free time, of course it's nothing.
But for the lower-level monks, they are exhausted from the day's chores and want to find something to relax at night. Do you think they will still have the leisure to see things that require understanding and reverie? "
"Junior brother, what I mean is that books like yours, with straightforward language, can satisfy the... um, spiritual needs of those low-level monks to a great extent."
"That's right." Lin Chen nodded.
"But is this feasible? Junior brother, your book is too direct, and it also has various portraits. This is too..." Xu Mengyun hesitated.
She considered herself not the kind of person with rotten ideas, but she couldn't accept it.
The language is straightforward, but a picture within a few pages is too much!
"Why not? The language is straightforward and does not require thinking. Pictures can satisfy desires and make readers happy to a great extent. Why not?!" Lin Chen asked.
"But……"
"Senior sister, why do you think this kind of book has such a market in the sect?" Lin Chen interrupted.
"There are Yichunyuan and Fanglinfang in Zongwaifang City. You need dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones for one consumption, and the harvest will be gone in a few months. I don't have enough spiritual stones, no private cave, and no cultivation resources. , without a female cultivator to follow, I can only be alone all day long..."
"The consumption is high, but no one follows, and the mortal monks don't accept it. But when most people face pressure, they always need to vent their desires, so there is a market for such books!"
"And my books can satisfy everyone's desires and satisfy everyone's excitement!"
“To put it simply, it’s great!”
"In the book, those unapproachable senior sisters in the past cultivated with me, and those villains who used their power to bully me knelt down and became servants in front of me. They could easily earn spiritual stones, break through in cultivation, and become the supreme...
Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, I wake up as an immortal. All kinds of desires that are unavailable in the real world can be imagined to be satisfied in the novel world I provide. Coupled with the oppression caused by the hard life in reality, senior sister, do you think my book is competitive? "
Xu Mengyun was silent for a long time before sighing: "Junior brother, you are right."
"Junior brother, do you want to use these books to squeeze out other sellers, become the only one, and monopolize the market?" Xu Mengyun continued to ask, while her eyes began to gradually brighten.
This type of book is not a necessity, it is just to meet the spiritual needs of most people. In addition, it is difficult for most monks to talk about it, and the market formed is relatively small and hidden, so there are not many foundation-building elders competing for interests at the upper level...
For the sect as a whole, the benefits are not as great as elixirs, spiritual weapons, etc., but if placed on an individual or a few people, these benefits are enough to support their practice in the foundation-building period!
There are tens of thousands of disciples in the whole sect. Even if each disciple only buys one book a year and only spends one spiritual stone, it is still an income of tens of thousands of spiritual stones, let alone much more than that!
"No, no, no, senior sister, I don't want to be the only seller, but I want to be a platform controller." Lin Chen shook his head gently and said with a smile.
