"This! How is this possible!"
In the editorial office of Shi Quan Shi Mei, Hector looked at the two identical picture albums in his hands with a shocked expression.
This is the fastest flying mount commissioned by Garland to be sent back from the City of Chaos. As the boss of Whole Foods, Hector is also one of the picture book lovers.
Garland didn't give him gifts just because he wanted to, after all, he still knew that what he liked was not this kind of serious book.
Hockto, who had a collection of colorful picture books on the bookshelf at home, was not surprised by how beautifully drawn "The Story of the Little Mermaid" was, but that the two picture books were exactly the same!
This is a colorful picture book!
According to Garland, in the City of Chaos, there were a thousand copies of the same picture book, which were sold in limited quantities at Maimi's Restaurant and were priced at one thousand copper coins.
what does that mean?
Most people may think about how to buy a few more copies and then resell them in another place to earn a price difference.
From Hector's professional perspective, this picture album can be sold for 50,000 to 80,000 copper coins in the current painted market in Luodu.
The painting style is exquisite and the story is interesting. It should be loved by many young ladies from wealthy families.
If you buy it for one thousand copper coins, before the news reaches Luodu, you can easily earn one hundred thousand copper coins by changing hands.
Garland entrusted him to help sell...
Of course, there's more to it than that.
A thousand copies of identical paintings mean that someone in the City of Chaos has solved the problem of color printing.
This is undoubtedly disruptive news for print media.
Just imagine, if colorful illustrations were added to the magazines of Whole Foods, what kind of impact would it have on the food magazine market?
If the cost could be reduced and the price controllable, the growth of Whole Food Magazine would be unimaginable to him.
Thinking of this, Hector's breathing gradually became heavier.
Because Garland sent back bad news at the same time, Mag rejected the exclusive cooperation with Whole Foods and signed contracts with ten food magazines at the same time.
This means that the exclusive advantage of Shiquanshimei has been lost, and the million-dollar miracle of the last issue may no longer be sustained.
But if they could obtain the wealth code of color printing, in addition to food magazines, at this moment, he had even thought that countless industries would undergo drastic changes, and there would be countless opportunities hidden in them.
Not to mention more, even if he took out some of the exquisite picture books he collected and deleted some scenes that were not suitable for dissemination, it would be enough to shake up the picture book industry and make a lot of money.
The good news is that these picture books are from Mr. McGonagall, and the picture books were drawn by his daughter.
The not-so-good news is that Mr. McGonagall is obviously not an honest person who can be easily fooled. A picture book worth one thousand copper coins sold a thousand copies in one day, and it was easy to get one million copper coins.
If you want such people to share the wealth code, Hector is not sure whether he has the ability.
"Book me a travel ticket to the City of Chaos tomorrow and ask for the fastest flying mount." Hector walked to the door of the office and said to his secretary.
"Okay boss."
…
"Interesting, how did Mr. McGonagall do it? He actually broke through a problem that has not been solved for so many years, and he can do it so exquisitely! Is it magic? It doesn't seem like it."
In the Buffett Manor, Hill crossed his legs and sat comfortably on the sofa, looking at the picture book in his hand and marveling.
During the rare rest time, the picture book was given by my subordinates. It came from Maimi’s Restaurant and was written by Annie.
The story is interesting and the drawings are exquisite.
The comfortable colors and painting style made her enjoy half an hour of pleasure.
But what interests her the most is the picture book itself.
It is a color picture book, and it is also a color picture book with a large number of figures.
This thing has never appeared on the market.
The reason is simple. So far, no one has been able to print picture books in color.
It’s not that no one has tried it, but most of them are extremely rough and have limited colors, so the combination is ugly. They are not as good as black and white, leaving some room for imagination.
Someone once said that whoever can solve the color printing problem will have the next password for paper media wealth.
Now, this person appears.
Hill rubbed the picture album and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
As expected, Mr. McGonagall had never let her down. From the steam locomotive to the current color printing, it had some foreshadowing, which made it easier to accept it.
The Buffett family does not have much exposure to print media, but everyone knows the importance of a widely disseminated media, and the same is true for the Buffett family.
Now she smells the subversion of this industry. Upstarts will soon appear, and this time she may have the opportunity to plan ahead.
"I don't know whether Mr. McGonagall plans to do it himself this time, or sell the technology at a glance like before." Hill pondered for a while, then turned to the door and said: "Tomorrow morning, I want to see the best in Nolan Continent. Information about a group of media people.”
"Okay, ma'am." The secretary's respectful voice came from outside.
…
"Quick! Send this volume back to Luodu and ask Lao Fang to print 10,000 copies directly!"
In a guest room in the north of the city of chaos, a middle-aged man handed a picture album wrapped in several layers of cloth to a young man.
"Father, isn't this... not good?" the young man frowned.
"What do you know about melons? This is how we started our business. What's wrong? If we don't print, others will do it. When the market is full of them, you still print melon rinds." Middle-aged man He jumped up with a bang and said with a look of hatred.
"But...but this is a direct printing of 10,000 copies. What if we can't sell it? This is not a restricted version that cannot be bought on the market." The young man covered his head and said with an aggrieved look.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said: "What do you know? There is a recipe for braised pork here that was drawn by the daughter of the owner of Maimi Restaurant. You know that the last issue of Whole Foods Food has the fish-flavored eggplant made by Maimi's boss. How many copies did you buy? A million copies! You idiot! Let alone 10,000 copies, I estimate that I will need to print a few more copies."
"Can……"
"But your mother... hurry up and crawl for me!" The middle-aged man raised his leg and kicked it.
The young man went out dejectedly, not daring to say anything.
…
Mag didn't know that "The Little Mermaid Story" had attracted so many people's attention, but he had already begun to plan how to sell "Miss Black Cat" better.
This time, he plans to launch it in Luodu, and the price will be 2,000 copper coins per volume.
The price is twice as high as that of The Little Mermaid, but the number of pages in this picture book has more than doubled, and after a period of honing, Annie's painting style is far beyond that shown in "Miss Black Cat". Not comparable to The Little Mermaid.
Moreover, his target group is the rich and aristocrats who have money, leisure, and some appreciation. They are the target customers of the opera house.
