"Sure enough, a life of working hard to make money is the most fulfilling life in the world."
The business ended in the morning and the restaurant returned to calm.
Mag made a pot of braised pork and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing in the warm sunshine. She nestled comfortably in the chair, holding the ugly duckling abandoned at home in her arms.
Amy, who had been on vacation for a month, finally started school again, about a week earlier than the students of Chaos Academy.
Annie is drawing in the study room upstairs. The little guy plans to refine Miss Black Cat's drawing again and hand it over to Captain Vicky in person tomorrow to see if it can pass her approval.
Irina went to the textile factory. The night elves had many things that she still needed to handle.
The door hasn't been opened for a long time. Not only did the chef's work not make Meg feel tired, but listening to the compliments from the guests made her feel more motivated.
Is there any job in this world that can earn both money and fame? It’s hard to find such a job that brings both fame and fortune.
After drinking a pot of tea alone, Mag wrapped the ugly duckling in a red and blue coat, put it in the bicycle basket, took a picture book hand-drawn by Annie from the bookshelf, and pushed the car out the door.
Mag rode his bicycle to the textile factory in the north of the city. The elf at the door was very polite to him, a nominal investor, and allowed him to enter the factory smoothly.
Mag didn't bother Irina and went straight to the vacant factory where the printing press from Ultraman's hometown was stored.
The huge machine stood in the middle of the factory. The originally dusty surface had been scrubbed clean. The unknown silver metal had a cold sheen, exuding an amazing sense of technology.
This thing is nuclear-powered, and it attracted Xi's attention the last time it was activated.
But now Mag and Xi have become familiar with each other... They seem to be familiar with each other in front of them.
But using this machine should not be a big problem.
For an ancient man who could build advanced warships, a nuclear-powered printing press should not be considered something worthy of attention. If you really asked, he would say that it was dug underground.
Moreover, even if the ancients wanted to move it away for research, Mag would have no problem with it as long as he could get a printing press with the same effect from them.
After all, this printing press was procured from Amy's system, so I didn't feel bad at all.
Mag placed Anne's picture book in the scanning area. This is Anne's first complete work - "The Story of the Little Mermaid"
The machine is very advanced, but the operation is very stupid.
Simple settings, scan the entire book, print the entire book, and then set the printing quantity.
Mag thought for a moment and decided to simply print 10,000 copies first?
Most cartoonists would be embarrassed to say they are best-selling cartoonists unless they sell 10,000 copies, right?
But looking at the roaring machines and the stacks of picture books neatly delivered from the conveyor belt, Mag felt that he was a little sloppy?
He hadn't even found a sales channel for his picture books yet, so he just started printing 10,000 copies...
"At worst, we can sell it at the door of the restaurant. One thousand copper coins per book, this is a ten million business." Mag touched his chin and thought, and took a printed picture book from the side. The printing quality was extremely high. It looks as if it were hand-painted, with no trace of printing, bright colors, and a bright and lovely style. It is an extremely excellent color picture book.
A picture book of this quality could be sold for at least 10,000 copper coins in Luodu City.
Because before there was a breakthrough in printing technology, color picture books could only be completed by hand-painting by artists. However, a picture book that could take a month or even longer to be completed by an artist who could draw such excellent works would cost 10,000 copper coins.
Of course, Mag used a printing press, which was really cheating.
However, one thousand copper coins can be used as an enlightening book for the rich Hou Lang, as a bedtime reading for the young bourgeoisie, and as an unmistakable choice for straight men who are struggling to find a gift. It is really a good conscience.
"I heard they said you were coming over..." Irina opened the door and came in. Seeing the picture books being output continuously from the conveyor belt, her face showed a bit of surprise, "Is this what this machine is used for?"
"Yes, this is the printing press." Mag smiled and handed the picture book in his hand to Irina.
Irina looked through the picture book in her hand, her face becoming more and more surprised. Finally, she put down the picture book and looked at the machine in front of her, her eyes full of stars: "This is a machine that can print money."
Yes, she immediately discovered the value of the press as a family, too.
"Find a few people to help organize and pack them in wooden boxes. Each box contains a thousand volumes. Transport one box to Maimi's restaurant every day. We will start selling them today." Mag said with a smile.
"How much do you plan to sell a copy?" Irina asked.
"One thousand copper coins per volume is a long-term business. It cannot be made into a luxury item. Annie is very fast." Mag said with a smile: "There are 10,000 volumes here. Let's try making 10 million first."
Irina nodded in agreement, thought for a moment, and then said: "But the price of one thousand copper coins is still looked down upon by many children."
McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "How about we print another batch of black and white ones and sell them through bookstores for a thousand copper coins?"
"This is good." Irina's eyes lit up, "Now there are many free elves in the night elves. I can recruit a group of elves who are good at painting and engraving to complete the engraving and printing work."
"There is no need to bother with engraving the printing plate. This is a super printer. They can just print the printing plate directly. They only need to complete the printing and binding work." Mag shook his head with a smile, and he had already begun to consider making a Plans for a simple black and white printer.
With this super printer, he can complete modeling and direct printing on it. For many machines with simple functions, he can even print out all parts.
This is the power of technology.
Mag originally had a 3D printer, but the function of that thing was limited, and it was completely incomparable to this one, and its playability was extremely low.
"Okay." Irina nodded. Although she didn't quite understand what Mag said, she somehow felt that she could believe it.
The printing of 10,000 picture books was quickly completed. The elves customized wooden boxes and packed the picture books, ready to be sent to Maimi's Restaurant.
Mag set up the printer and directly 3D printed the printed version of the picture book with extremely high precision and could use it just by brushing ink.
Mag simply wrote a small manual on how to use it, and left it to Ashley to coordinate the specific work of paper selection and printing.
The job of printing black and white picture books has created at least 500 jobs for night elves.
Mag's initial requirement is an average daily printing volume of 1,000 copies.
After all, this is just black and white printing, the price will not be too high, and profits can only be increased by output.
As for the market, Mag is not worried at all.
The continent of Norland will usher in a long one hundred years of peace, and Mag's goal is to sell Anne's picture books all over the world!
…
"Just leave it here, you two little girls, wait a moment." At the door of Maimi's restaurant, Mag stopped the two elves who came to deliver the book.
