As Yun Tianqing had said, Chang 'an was the capital of the Tang Empire. There were tens of millions of people in Chang' an, and this was not counting the people in the surrounding counties. If they counted all the people in Chang 'an, the number would probably exceed tens of millions!
And just how vast was the Great Tang? There were three hundred and sixty-five provinces in the country, and each province was divided into one hundred and eight prefectures. Each prefecture was divided into one thousand and twenty-four counties. The population of the Great Tang could only be described as billions. Even if only one in a thousand, no, even one in ten thousand of the people of the Great Tang were willing to buy it, it would be enough to increase everyone's wealth by millions of times!
Yes, the shopkeepers present were not fools. They had already guessed the meaning behind Yun Tianqing's words.
"Pavilion Master Yun, why don't you say it out loud? I think everyone wants to know Pavilion Master Su's exact intentions.”Shopkeeper Chen took a sip of tea and suppressed his shocked thoughts.
" That's right, Pavilion Master Yun, you might as well say it clearly. Everyone is here, and they're willing to bear the burden.“
"That's right, Pavilion Master Yun. If you have any ideas, let's discuss them together.”
The shopkeepers below said one after another.
Yun Tianqing looked at the shopkeepers. What was initiative? The benefits were the initiative. When it came to the actual benefits, it still depended on who controlled the benefits.
"The Wondrous Dream Pavilion has no intention of wasting time on publishing and printing. With the Wondrous Dream Pavilion in possession of excellent biographies and other fine novels that will be released in the future, although all of you here are senior booksellers and have many sales channels in your hands, there are even bookstores in all 365 provinces of the Great Tang.
However, as long as none of you can match my current and subsequent biographies, even if you join forces to suppress me, as long as you can't stop the endless readers, you can't stop the endless wealth, nor can you stop the businessmen who want to work with me.
In the end, the worst outcome would be that I would rip off a piece of flesh from everyone here and tear open a path. The better option was to stand side by side with everyone. If it were any better, I'm afraid that more than ten percent of the people here would be able to sit next to me.”
The shopkeepers all had ugly expressions. Sometimes, the truth was the most hurtful.
Yun Tianqing ignored the expressions of the shopkeepers and continued,"
"If you want to do what you just said, it's not difficult. If he wanted money, the more he printed, the more money he would get. A few days ago, the sons of the second generation of the Great Tang were all guests of the Wondrous Dream Pavilion.
What they lacked was time, and that was precisely what the Wondrous Dream Pavilion was most unwilling to waste.
Therefore, I invited you here today to ask you a question.
Are you interested in the various biographies and novels under the name of the Wondrous Dream Pavilion?
Are you interested in the market of the Great Tang's 365 provinces?
Are you interested in the boundless market outside the Great Tang?
If you're interested in working together, we can continue to talk in detail. If you're not interested, the door is over there.”
After a while, no one stood up.
"Pavilion Master, please tell us the details of the cooperation.”Shopkeeper Huang was still the one who took the lead. Although Yun Tianqing's words were very infuriating, they were really interested.
Yun Tianqing smiled." It's very simple. I'll establish the Wonderful Dream Book Club, and all the shopkeepers will join in the sales. Everyone here will pay a certain fee and be able to sell the products of the Wonderful Dream Pavilion.
"There are two main points. First, I will provide you with a copy of the biography that can be printed in a certain number of copies. Baptism costs three coins per copy. Baptism gives you one free copy for ten copies. [Records of the Elegance of Time and Poetry] cost five copper coins for one baptism, and similarly, ten baptism books gave one free copy, and so on.
However, your price in Chang 'an cannot exceed my current selling price. The highest price you can sell in other places outside of Chang' an cannot exceed three times the current selling price offered by the Mysterious Dream Pavilion!
This price is already the lowest price I can offer. Everyone, there is no need to say any more words of bargaining. I am also half a bookshop merchant. I know how much profit there is from printing. You can't hide it from me, nor can you hide it from the shopkeepers present.
Chang 'an is very big, the Tang Empire is very big, and the entire Primordial World is very big. It can accommodate me, the Wondrous Dream Pavilion, all the shopkeepers here, and even more shopkeepers.
Everyone can discuss it here slowly. It's still early. I'll come back in the afternoon to listen to everyone's discussion.”
Yun Tianqing bowed and left, leaving the shopkeepers in the private room to discuss.
Pavilion Master Yun is a little overbearing." Shopkeeper Chen's expression was a little unhappy.
"Hehe, he's overbearing because he's capable, or do you think what he said just now was wrong?”Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile, as if he didn't care.
"From what Pavilion Master Yun said just now, he doesn't care how much the novel sells or how much money it earns. He only cares if his novel can be promoted.
If this is his, no, or rather, the intention of the authors behind him, then can we poach these authors over? We have far more connections than the Wondrous Dream Pavilion! If any of us here were to sell the novels of the Wondrous Dream Pavilion, the sales volume would probably increase by seven to eight times, or even more!”
The shopkeeper sitting below Shopkeeper Chen suggested.
"Hehe, I wonder if Shopkeeper Chen has managed to contact any of the authors who submitted their articles to the Wondrous Dream Pavilion?”
Shopkeeper Huang looked at Shopkeeper Chen with a smile.
"You, Shopkeeper Huang, have done this kind of thing many times, right? I wonder how much you've gained?”
Compared to Shopkeeper Huang, who was like a smiling tiger, Shopkeeper Chen started to miss Pavilion Master Yun. Although Pavilion Master Yun's words were very direct and suffocating, she won in her straightforwardness. Although it was not easy to bargain, it was also easy to trade.
" I'll be frank. I haven't thought of any way to break out of this situation, and I'm indeed interested in what Pavilion Master Yun has said, so I'm prepared to agree to Pavilion Master Yun's suggestion. If you have any different opinions or ideas, you can implement them yourselves.”
For some reason, Shopkeeper Chen didn't want to continue chatting with everyone. His wife was still waiting for him at home with soup. His silly son was clamoring to cultivate a divine body and suppress the world every day. He had to go back and suppress this unfilial son. Therefore, Shopkeeper Chen directly gave his answer, then closed his eyes and said nothing more.
Shopkeeper Huang's eyes, which were originally smiling, opened at this moment. He stared straight at Shopkeeper Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed.
The shopkeepers below also had their own opinions. Some agreed, some disagreed, and some remained silent.
Shopkeeper Huang toyed with the two beads in his hands. His eyes flashed with a trace of thought, and he finally said,"I also agree with Pavilion Master Yun's plan.”
Following the final decision of the two shopkeepers of the Dragon Head Bookstore, Chen and Huang, the other shopkeepers of the bookstores also had other ideas, but they could not compete with the general trend and agreed one by one.
