Chapter 249 Go ahead and don’t worry!
"I used to think that books with illustrations would not sell well, but now I am very confident." After arguing with Jiang Youzhen for a while, Huang Xue Ning became serious again.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Jiang Youzhen was still nonchalant. For her, the income from the talking book was unexpected money, and she didn't put much effort into it.
However, these two people were so serious about their work that she felt a little embarrassed.
"Think about it! How big is our town? How many educated people can there be?"
Huang Xue Ning rolled his eyes, "But what if we sell the storybooks to the county town, or even the prefectural capital? There are many talented people in the prefectural capital! There are also many wealthy scholars. But if we only pay an extra ten cents to see the illustrations, those rich young men won't care."
"That makes sense! It depends on how the sales are today. If the business is really booming, then we have to hurry up and go to the bookstores in the county and the prefectural capital to do business."
Wen Ruyu also became excited. If all of them could be sold, then there would be no need to worry about the city.
However, Huang Xue Ning was not so optimistic and he expressed his concerns.
"But I am a little worried. Although we will definitely have no trouble selling in the next two days, someone will soon follow suit and imitate us. Then someone will want to take a piece of the pie."
"You can't be so shameless, right?" Wen Ruyu couldn't believe it. In his heart, he felt embarrassed when Junior Brother Jiang gave him the story outline, let alone plagiarizing someone else's script.
"Brother Huang is right to worry. Anyone with a bit of brains can probably create a similar copy in two or three days. They just need to slightly change the details, or even copy it. It's a business to make money, so why should we care what others say behind our backs?"
Jiang Youzhen also thought of this immediately. "Besides, there are not many people in our town who can read and write. A storybook can only sell two or three hundred copies at most, and it is estimated that it will not sell well. What's more, storybooks can be borrowed and read, so you don't have to buy them."
Jiang Youzhen's words made the smiles on their faces freeze instantly, as if a basin of cold water was poured on them, and they felt very cold in their hearts.
"What if no one wants to buy it? How about borrowing it? Or pooling money together to buy it?" Wen Ruyu was already worried. This was their profitable business. These two people were not short of money, but he was short of money!
Jiang Youzhen saw Wen Ruyu's urgency, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "This kind of behavior cannot be stopped, so we have no choice but to stay ahead of them. We should keep publishing new scripts, so that they can't keep up even if they flatter us."
"Oh, by the way, my title is Pen Fairy, and my senior brother's title is Rugui. Let's carve a private seal, mark it and stamp it at the end of the storybook. This will be our logo. In addition, our storybook must also have a special mark, such as a family crest."
Wen Ruyu and Huang Xue Ning were confused. Huang Xue Ning scratched his head, "Ah? I can understand writing the title, but why do you need to stamp it with a private seal? And you also need to mark the book with a seal?"
"You don't understand this. It's called copyright awareness. Think about it, would a famous pastry shop, such as Liang Ji, put a mark on it? Why would they do that? Of course, it's to make people recognize Liang Ji.
That’s what I meant just now. Everyone recognizes the genuine product. Even if some people buy imitation products for cheap, they will feel that they are not as high-class as before because they don’t have our special symbols.”
Jiang Youzhen felt that this method would definitely be effective, but there were many people who were greedy for bargains, and she wanted to win over those who had some spare money.
Huang Xue Ning suddenly understood, "I understand! This is called high-end and stylish. Rich people will definitely not buy imitations."
Compared to himself, he would definitely be willing to spend a little more money to buy the original version!
"Yes! The private seal matter is now in the hands of the two of you. Also, we can't stop working on the illustrations, as there will definitely be some unexpected surprises. Finally, we should move to the county town and the prefectural city as quickly as possible and stay ahead.
You can ask the shopkeeper to see if he has any connections in the county or the prefecture. You can also try other ways. After all, the more you sell, the more you earn!"
"Are you planning to be a hands-off boss again?" Huang Xue Ning curled his lips, and then thought of something.
"But your idea is not bad. It's easy to carve your title, but you have to give the thing you sell a good name. Then make it look like a family crest and it will be our signature."
Jiang Youzhen immediately gave him an affirmative look, "That's right! Senior Brother Huang is indeed a natural businessman. I'll leave this matter to Senior Brother Huang and Senior Brother Wen!"
Huang Xue Ning nodded immediately, a proud smile on his face.
"That's right! I've been following my father around to discuss business since I was a child. I've been exposed to everything. How can this be difficult for me? But I'm surprised that you are so experienced in doing business. You are a natural born businessman!"
Huang Xue Ning was deeply moved. Smart people can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Wen Ruyu suddenly felt uncomfortable. These two people made her look useless. It really fits the saying that a scholar is useless.
But it happened that these two people were also scholars, and he was inferior to them in many ways.
"The design of our private seal and book emblem will be handed over to Senior Brother Wen. This is what Senior Brother Wen is good at." Jiang Youzhen didn't want to worry about it. She was busy!
Jiang Youzhen waited until the end of school, packed his schoolbox and prepared to leave the private school.
Since yesterday, the seven-day daily check-in task has been completed. It is impossible to trigger the check-in task in the private school, so it seems that she has to go somewhere else.
She suddenly thought of Shen's younger sister, Shen Ling. Donglin Mansion was four or five days away from here. Because her elder sister was getting married, Shen had sent a letter early, but she never received a reply, and no one came.
Shen has been a little absent-minded these days, perhaps because she is worried about her sister's safety?
Why not go to Donglin Mansion? But I have to ask for leave from the private school.
"Uncle Sixteen, that's Master Tong's carriage in front. Is he here to see you?" Jiang Jiawang saw the familiar carriage and quickly poked Jiang Youzhen's arm.
Hmm? Jiang Youzhen quickly looked up and saw Tong Huaian lifting the car curtain and looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Brother Huai'an!" Jiang Youzhen walked forward quickly, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up from school, come up!" Tong Huaian stretched out his hand towards Jiang Youzhen, who turned and looked at Jiang Jiawang.
Jiang Jiawang sighed, "Uncle Sixteen, don't worry! I'll help you send the carriage back."
Hmm? Why does this sentence feel wrong? Just go ahead and relax?
Jiang Youzhen shook his head and quickly climbed onto the carriage.
"Brother, are you here to see me for something urgent?" Jiang Youzhen swayed with the carriage. In fact, she still felt a little guilty when facing Tong Huaian.
After all, when he used the Second Prince, he also used Tong Huaian. Of course, it was just a little bit, a little bit.
"I didn't understand why you didn't give me the things at that time. But later I thought about it carefully. If you want to protect yourself, you should really think carefully. But you shouldn't have given the things to the Second Prince without trusting me."
Talking about this, Tong Huaian still felt a little sad.
