Journey to the West: Play Westward Journey at the beginning

Chapter 32 Development and Growth
Yun Tianqing smiled when he saw this, put down his teacup and said, "We are united, collaborate together, and advance and retreat together. I believe this is only the beginning, and the future will be far more than this!"

All the shopkeepers responded one after another.

After all the shopkeepers calmed down, Yun Tianqing continued to speak: "Although we have roughly guessed our sales volume, we still need everyone to confirm it so that we can further think about how to develop."

After hearing what Yun Tianqing said, all the shopkeepers also became serious. In business, it is the duty of businessmen to discuss matters as they arise.

Shopkeeper Chen of Qitan Bookstore was the first to speak: "From the first day to yesterday, in a total of seven days, Qitan Bookstore Chang'an sold a total of 640 million biographical books. Other branches of Datang sold a total of [-] million copies, and it was still There are many bookstores that have no books to sell due to lack of preparation.”

When talking about the sales volume of branches in other state capitals, shopkeeper Chen's voice even trembled.I have never seen so many books sold in my life, and there are still situations where many people cannot sell them.

Although other people know their own sales and can roughly guess the sales of others through horizontal comparison, it is still very shocking to hear others say it in person.

After Shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, Shopkeeper Huang of Chang'an Bookstore also followed up and said: "In seven days, Chang'an Bookstore, Chang'an City, sold a total of 110 million copies, and other states in the Tang Dynasty sold a total of 670 million copies."

Soon, as everyone spoke one by one, the total sales volume of Chang'an City in the past seven days and the total sales volume of other Datang prefectures were also revealed.

Chang'an City's Twelve Bookstores sold a total of 850 million biographical novels!

A total of 360 million biographical novels were sold in the other 850 four prefectures of the Tang Dynasty!

If you add them all up, there are 710 copies!

When they heard this amount, several shopkeepers present took out the life-saving pills and swallowed them on the spot.

Although everyone had some guesses, they never expected it to be this number! There are more than 7000 million copies. Even if it is directly said to be 8000 million copies, others will not have any objection.They know that many branch bookstores are selling until they have no books to sell!
"This is really unbelievable. I'm afraid that when all the scholars were competing at the same time and a hundred schools of thought contended, the number of printed classics in total was probably not as many as ours! This was only seven days!"

Shopkeeper Huang was trembling a little. Well, he was the only one who had just taken the life-saving pill.

The other shopkeepers are not much better. Now that they can insist on not being frightened by this amount is because of their excellent psychological quality.

Seeing that the shopkeepers were still so excited that they couldn't control themselves, Yun Tianqing didn't pour cold water on them. He just looked at the shopkeepers quietly and took a sip of tea from time to time.

After a long while, all the shopkeepers calmed down and said to Yun Tianqing sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Pavilion Master Yun, it was me who lost our composure."

"It doesn't matter, I'm very happy to have achieved today's results. But are all the shopkeepers satisfied?" Yun Tianqing suppressed his smile and looked at the shopkeepers seriously.

"This"

The shopkeepers were confused for a moment and looked at each other, not quite understanding what Yun Tianqing meant.

"Pavilion Master, if you have anything on your mind, just say it. We will definitely listen."

Shopkeeper Chen of Qitan Bookstore replied respectfully, and the others also expressed agreement.

"I don't like to talk in circles, so I will tell the truth. Everyone has eyes to see and ears to hear the sales situation this time. As long as the updated content maintains this level in the future, we will be fully prepared and want to come to the entire Datang 360 Five In the state capital, it will not be a problem to exceed [-] million volumes. I wonder if all the shopkeepers have any objections to this?"

"We have no objection." "Others don't know what the Qimeng Book Alliance is, but I and everyone here know it clearly. It is just a loose alliance with Qimeng as the center and Twelve Bookstores as the main body. At present, it is only implemented according to a few general rules stipulated by Qimeng Pavilion, and the relevant rules are only for the publication of Qimeng Book Alliance.

If there is no change, as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that we will only be able to maintain this level for a long time. "Yun Tianqing suppressed his smile and looked at the shopkeepers calmly.

Everyone didn't interrupt and waited quietly for Yun Tianqing to finish.

"Shopkeeper Huang, besides the [-] prefectures where you sell Qimeng books, how many branches do you have in other prefectures? What was your sales volume in the previous month?"

"In addition to the 32 state capitals, there are still [-] branches in other state capitals. Before this, the sales volume of each state capital branch in January was basically between [-] and [-]."

"Where's Shopkeeper Chen?"

"Outside of the [-] state capitals, there are still [-] branches in other state capitals. Previously, the sales volume in each state capital in January was basically between [-] and [-]."

"Where's Shopkeeper Zhao?"

"There are 21 bookstore branches outside Qimeng Book Alliance. Previously, the sales volume in the state branch in January was between [-] and [-]."

Having said this, everyone gradually guessed what Yun Tianqing was thinking.

Yun Tianqing looked around and knew that they had guessed what he was thinking.

"Everyone has roughly guessed what I am thinking, so I will make it clear. When Changan is selling, how many of you are in short supply, you all know it.

We have just learned how much the bookstore branch under the Qimeng Book Alliance currently benefits; everyone also knows how much the bookstore branch that is not under the Qimeng Book Alliance benefits.

The Tang Dynasty is very big, and the market is also very big. I can't eat it, you can't eat it individually, and even I and you can't eat it together.In this case, why bother focusing on those petty profits?

Unify resources, centralize resources, and adjust resources.It seems that the market it occupies has shrunk, but comparing the state capitals with other bookstores and the state capitals with only their own bookstores, I think there is no need for me to explain the benefits to you in detail. "

"This" everyone present is not a fool. The benefits that can be brought by doing this are undoubtedly huge and can be more than doubled.This is a huge benefit brought by monopoly, but the changes and benefit exchanges it also brings are also huge.

"Since the Pavilion Master has made it clear, we are not being hypocritical. As the Pavilion Master said, this move will indeed allow us to better adjust and control the resources of the relevant state capital branches and obtain greater benefits.

But first, how to ensure that our interests are not expropriated?

Secondly, besides our Twelve Bookstore branches, there are other local bookstores in each state capital. How to deal with this?

Thirdly, the reason why we are able to unite now is mainly because the biographical novels written by Pavilion Master are the leading ones and dominate the world. However, if there are biographical novels that can compete with Pavilion Master in the future, Pavilion Master will And how should we deal with it? "

At the beginning, shopkeeper Huang's words were still respectful. As he went on, his tone became more solemn and the sense of oppression became stronger!

When they finished speaking, the shopkeepers of the Twelve Bookstores straightened their backs one by one. They all stood up and looked at Yun Tianqing with solemn eyes. No one could dodge!
