Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 173 Novel sales problem (thanks to the monthly ticket of the meteor shower under the summer night starry sky)

Not long after, the carriage arrived in front of the luxury store.

Today the shop is not as crowded as yesterday, but business is still booming.

Some customers came early to buy perfume.After all, perfume is artificially bottled, some are filled more, and some are filled less.Many customers take advantage of this time to buy some full packs, which is more affordable;

Another batch of customers came to bid early this morning after unsuccessfully bidding for spirits last night;

There are also some customers who come here because of the introduction of friends.

So the store is constantly having customers coming in and out, which is very lively.

"Everyone get out of the car!"

Sean was the first to get out of the carriage, and greeted his subordinates to walk into the shop.

At this time, the big hole smashed by Merlin Thaurissan outside the store was not filled, but a fence was built around it.

Many customers lined up in front of the fence, ready to enter the big pit to experience the "feeling of a strong man". After all, it was a big pit smashed by a strong man at the peak of the Sky Rank, so there was a special queue.

Xiao En ignored these customers and led his subordinates around the pit and into the store.

The clerks in the store are working hard, and each clerk has a warm smile on his face, and greets every customer patiently.

Luo Dian was sitting in the very center of the hall, at this time he was instructing his bards to write something.

Seeing Xiao En and his subordinates enter the store, Luo Dian hastily greeted him: "Good morning, my lord, you are finally here!"

At the same time, Luo Dian did not forget to introduce the bards around him to Xiao En:

"My lord, he is the bard Eliot I introduced to you last time. He is responsible for all the illustrations of the novel."

"Dear Your Highness Xiao En, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Bard Elliott heard that the adult in front of him was His Royal Highness Sean, and hurriedly saluted Sean.

Sean stepped forward and patted Elliott on the shoulder kindly:

"It's also nice to meet you! You draw well, especially the succubus illustration in "Northern Tenderness", I still have an impression of it!"

I have to say, the figure of that succubus is awesome!Especially that pair of great evils, which Sean still remembers vividly until now.

Elliott scratched his head in embarrassment: "My lord, to tell the truth, I drew that succubus after my wife, and the painting is almost exactly the same as my wife."

Hearing Elliott's words, several customers in the store who were flipping through the books put down the books in their hands, gathered towards Elliott, and asked in a hurry:

"Your name is Elliot, right? Is what you said true?"

"I bought this book! Can you introduce your wife to me? It's nothing else, just getting to know each other."

"Excuse me, will you draw similar illustrations in the future? I mean bigger ones like this one."

Seeing that Sean was confused, Luo Dian smiled and explained to Sean:

"My lord, the "Northern Tenderness" you mentioned has already been put on the shelves this morning, and these are the customers who are looking through it."

"Oh? The novel is already on the shelves? How is the customer's response?"

"The customer's response is very good! If you don't believe me, you can ask them!" Luo Dian looked at the customers around Elliott and motioned for them to give some comments.

When the customers heard Luo Dian's words, they replied with dignity:

"The novel is very good! It's just that there are too few, and I finished reading it all in a short time!"

"The illustrations are really beautiful! Especially the details in the paintings, hehehe!"

"I've read the entire book, and I'll definitely buy it next time!"

Listening to the customer's evaluation, Sean was quite happy at first, but the more he listened to it, the more something went wrong.

What the hell is "read the whole book"?

What the hell is "next time"?

So Xiao En hurriedly pulled Luo Dian aside, and asked in a low voice, "Luo Dian, you didn't do anything with the book, and let the customers see the whole book, right?"

"That's right, my lord." Luo Dian said honestly:
"I also thought about sealing the second half of the book so that customers could not see it.

But books are too expensive, and many customers will not want to buy them when they see the price of books.

I think that only by reading the whole book can the word-of-mouth of the novel be quickly improved, and the influence of the novel spread quickly, thereby increasing sales. "

Hearing Luo Dian's words, Xiao En stroked his chin and frowned.

What Luo Dian said is right, books nowadays are cumbersome and very expensive to produce.

Not only the whole book is made of parchment, but also scribes are asked to copy with silver, gold or purple ink, bards are invited to draw illustrations, and even some expensive books are wrapped in gold leaf.

If it weren't for the fact that "Northern Tenderness" is very short and there is only one illustration, it would be impossible to put it on the shelves in such a short time.

"Luo Dian, what you said makes sense." Xiao En nodded and said:

"But Luo Dian, have you ever thought about a problem? We are a luxury store, not a library! If more people know that there are a lot of good books here, and they all crowd in to read them for free, won't our store be overcrowded? ?”

"But."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Sean interrupted: "I will solve the problem of book dissemination later, you can seal these books later!"

It seems that the first thing to do when returning to the territory is to develop papermaking and printing techniques, which can not only make money by selling books, but also benefit education in the territory, Xiao En thought in his heart.

But this will have to wait until after returning to the territory. Sean came back to his senses and said to the darkened Elliott:

"Elliott, you draw very well. I will ask Luo Dian to reward you with a part of the money earned from the novel in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Highness Sean!" Elliot's face suddenly turned cloudy and he replied happily.

It's not ten o'clock yet, and Donald hasn't come yet, so Luo Dian continued to tell Sean about other things in the store:

"Sir, following your order yesterday, we have put the 'Golden Legend' label on each bottle of perfume and the 'Holy Light Flame' label on each barrel of spirits, and the customers in the store have responded well. "

"Heh, 'Golden Legend', I haven't opened a golden legend until now." Sean laughed at himself.

"What did you say, my lord?" Luo Dian didn't understand Xiao En's meaning.

"It's nothing, let's talk about other things!" Sean changed the subject.

"Then let me talk about specific sales issues!

The production of spirits and perfumes increased yesterday, so there are more products in the store.

There are 80 bottles of perfume on the shelves this time, and the original price is still the same;
Spirits are still auctioned for 10 barrels by bidding like yesterday, but I set a buyout price of 60 gold coins for it, and now one barrel has been successfully sold. Do you think it is appropriate? "

"There is nothing appropriate or inappropriate." Sean was noncommittal:
"Luo Dian, I will go back to the territory in a few days, and I will hand over the entire store to you. Regarding the operation of the store, I will give you the highest authority!

If it is about the general direction of store development, you can write to me and let me know. Small things like pricing are up to you to decide. "

"Okay, my lord." Seeing that the owner had handed over the entire store to him, Luo Dian felt a lot of pressure.
