Milo and Garan were both stunned when they heard this. They looked at the girl on the sign, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. They didn't expect that Boss Mai would have such a daughter besides the little boss.
Not only Garland and Milo, but also the guests queuing up at the door were quite surprised when they looked at the billboard and the two elf girls standing behind the desk filled with comic books.
Boss Mai closed his shop and disappeared for a month. After he came back, Mai Mi’s restaurant started selling picture albums part-time?
Moreover, the asking price for a picture album is as high as one thousand copper coins?
Although the dishes at Maimi Restaurant are not cheap, they are of extremely high quality and have been recognized by guests.
But to say that the market price of a picture album is usually tens of copper coins per volume, just because it is painted by Boss Mai’s daughter and sold at the entrance of Maimi’s restaurant, the price becomes as high as thousands of copper coins. It is a bit like treating the customers as fools. .
"For one thousand copper coins, except for some limited edition pornographic booklets in Luodu City, it is difficult for even Dachu to sell such a high price, unless it is a copied and colored version." Milo said while touching his chin.
"Why do you know the market so well?" Garland looked at him.
"I just heard about it, I don't know much about it!" Milo said seriously, trying to cover up the fact that he had collected countless little notebooks.
"The market situation in the City of Chaos is similar. The market for picture books is mostly concentrated in the younger age group, so the prices are relatively low." Harrison, who was standing behind them, interjected, "The quality of the pamphlets occasionally sent from Luodu City is indeed extremely high. High, enviable resources..."
"Heroes see the same thing." Milo looked back at him and showed an appreciative smile.
"Girl, does this album really cost one thousand copper coins?" Garland asked. The purpose of their visit today was to meet Mag, conduct a new round of interviews, and obtain his next column.
Relying on McG's article, Shiquanshimei directly sold a record number of one million copies in such a turbulent environment, becoming the highest-selling issue since the magazine was founded.
Relying on the sales of this issue of the magazine, Whole Foods has successfully secured the top spot in the magazine industry.
They stayed in the City of Chaos for a month, but the carrier pigeons flying from Luodu City almost never stopped.
The boss has given a fatal order. No matter what conditions Mr. McGonagall puts forward, he will be satisfied. He must be allowed to sign an exclusive contribution agreement with Whole Food Magazine.
This is a man who can single-handedly change the landscape of food magazines, and his powerful influence is emerging.
It is hard to imagine that a chef located in the city of chaos would one day be able to influence magazine audiences from all over the Norland continent.
Therefore, Garland planned to get to know Mr. McGonagall’s daughter, a talented cartoonist, first.
He had seen Mag's doting on the little boss and knew that he was a true daughter slave.
For this kind of person, the easiest way to get what he likes is to start with his daughter.
Although the price of one thousand copper coins is a bit expensive, it is worth it as long as it can increase Mr. Mag's favorability towards him.
Maybe only one copy of these comics can be sold today, and if he bought the only copy, that would be a little different.
"Yes, sir, the price of the picture album is one thousand copper coins, and each person is limited to purchasing two copies." Molly said with a smile, looking calm and generous.
Mr. Mag said that if this album were placed in Luodu City, it would cost tens of thousands of copper coins per album. The sale of one thousand copper coins per album here today is simply a price reduction sale.
"Is there still a purchase limit?" Garland was slightly startled.
The guests lining up at the back also looked surprised.
Maimi Restaurant has always had a tradition of limiting purchases of a limited number of delicacies, in order to allow more customers to taste the delicacies and to prevent someone from buying a large amount of food and reselling it.
Unexpectedly, this album not only costs a high price of one thousand copper coins, but also has a purchase limit?
Garland thought for a moment, regained his composure, and then said kindly: "Can I give it a try?"
Mr. McGonagall was a wise man, as Garland could tell from their brief encounter.
Such a person would not be so short-sighted as to take advantage of the customer's trust to harvest the customer's IQ tax, dare to put a price of one thousand copper coins, and set a purchase limit rule. The only possibility is that this picture album is worth it.
After hearing this, the guests also looked at the two little elf girls. They could tell at a glance whether this picture album was worth a thousand copper coins.
Eve picked up a thin picture book and handed it to Garland, and warned: "This is a trial version. Please do not spoil it after reading it."
Garland took the thin picture album, with a beautiful little mermaid on the cover.
"It's actually colored?!" Garland's eyes lit up, showing a bit of surprise.
This Little Mermaid painting is lifelike and the painting style is extremely mature. It doesn't look like the work of a novice at all. It has even surpassed most painters on the market.
What's more important is that these bright colors are just painted one stroke at a time, right?
Garland couldn't wait to open the album, and the content inside was also in color!
"Is it a full-color picture album?!" Garland's heart skipped a beat. This is an extremely rare thing in the picture album market.
As the editor-in-chief of a food magazine, he has daily contact with fellow editors who make picture books, and he understands the market.
A color painting album of this quality costs at least 30,000 copper coins.
Because such a picture album requires an excellent painter several months of work, the price is naturally not cheap.
Garland simply flipped through the trial version, which was only about ten pages long. The painting style, storyboards, and stories were all excellent. From these, he could see the artist's level.
If this was really written by Mr. McGonagall's fourteen-year-old daughter, then she would indeed be called a genius cartoonist.
"Is the content and quality of this album consistent with the trial version?" Garland asked, looking at Eve.
"Yes." Eve nodded firmly.
"Then I want two copies." Garland said without hesitation.
"What's going on?" Milo asked in surprise, "What a good book?"
"Buy two copies immediately after reading the trial version?"
"Isn't this a trap?"
The guests also looked at Garland in surprise. A picture album worth one thousand copper coins is not cheap.
"See for yourself." Garland directly handed the trial version of the picture book to Milo.
"So cute!" Milo's eyes lit up as he looked at the little mermaid on the cover.
As a senior otaku who has read countless books, I can tell the artist's rank at a glance.
The level is already above 99% of the painters, and the control of the characters' expressions is at the top of the pyramid.
This is talent and cannot be learned.
This kind of person... is generally called a painting monster!
There is still room for polishing the skills, but a painting with this level of completion is enough to make a living from it.
"Why is it colored?!" Milo quickly asked the same question as Garland.
