I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 441 Continue to Broaden Sales

Now that she convinced Guan Shi, Xia Ying didn't hide it, so she quickly told about the things she and Ye Shi were busy with now——

"It was already a month ago that I made an agreement with Mr. Wu to do this together. When my younger brother got the exact news from us, he hurried back and sent someone to clean up the small printing shop in Qingshan County. Neat, my brother and sister also found a few women who can do printing to help. The manpower in the shop is enough for the time being.”

"The first batch of comic books were the ones I had read for the children before. I chose ten of the simplest and easiest ones to get started with, and I have sent them over. But I am not good at things like engraving and engraving. I have never touched the stereotypes and inks, so I leave them to the special staff in the printing shop."

These days, after Mr. Wu went back to the academy, he did give away all those comic books.As soon as these things with rich pictures and vivid colors were delivered to everyone, they were sought after by many people.

Not to mention that this is highly recommended by Mr. Wu!

Recently, some people have started to ask where these books are bought.

The marketing methods in the early stage have already taken effect, and then it only needs to be printed in large quantities, and then launched to the market.

"It's just that the ability of the Song family only covers the entire Qingshan County, but how many people in Qingshan County can afford books? And although Mr. Wu seems to have a lot of friends, he is still too upright after all, so although he influences The power is good, but it can only affect some people. If we want to make the business bigger and better, we are only making a small start now, and we will need your help, Duan Niang, to make suggestions."

Xia Ying directly pushed the follow-up responsibility to Guan Shi.

Guan is very excited about such a challenge!
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Have you ever asked how much it would cost to save a girl's life? What are the prices of these comic books?"

"Mr. Wu helped a newborn girl before, and each family gave three taels of silver." Xia Ying said, "We plan to divide the comic book into two grades, one grade is printed with pure ink without color pictures, Five taels of silver for a copy. The second file is with color pictures, which is more expensive, and it costs eight taels of silver for a copy." Xia Ying explained truthfully.

Books and ink are ridiculously expensive these days, and the most common "Analects of Confucius" in any bookstore sells for no less than ten taels of silver.Xia Ying's current price of five taels and eight taels is already a conscience price!

"I see!"

Guan clapped his hands: "We can number all the books, and then write down on the title page, which is the number one book sold, and how many poor women have been helped by this batch of books."

"Those families who can afford books are more or less trying to gain fame. It is common for them to cast spells to loose money during festivals. So now they only need to spend some money, and they don't have to do anything else, and they can also put books on the bookshelf. Showing off to the guests is much better than organizing everyone in the family to spend money and effort! They will definitely be happy!"

Right!

Xia Ying suddenly realized.

Isn't this kind of thing very popular on the Internet in modern times?She has done many things like planting trees, donating to public welfare and so on!
Sure enough, there is nothing new under the sun.People with business minds have the same idea no matter what era they are in!

Xia Ying was so happy that she immediately squeezed Guan's hand tightly: "Mother Duan, you are amazing! I found you so rightly!"

Guan Shi was flattered by her praise.

"Of course, I said earlier that before I left the cabinet, I managed the shop very well in my natal family."

"Yeah, now I've seen your ability. The Ye family only put you in the backyard, it's a waste of your good ability!" Xia Ying sighed.

The more she thought about it, the happier she was: "I'll write a letter to my younger brother and sister and ask her to add these words to the cover of the book!"

"By the way, for the first batch of these books to be printed, give me one hundred copies. I want eight taels of silver a book, just give me the original price." Guan said again, "It's just two days before the Ye family will meet There will be a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in the other courtyard, and when the time comes, all the famous people in Jiangbian Province will be invited to come to enjoy the flowers. At that time, the family will send a few books, which are beautiful and have a long face."

"This is a good way! In this way, the merchants in Sanjiang Province will also open their way!" Xia Ying nodded hastily.

Mr. Wu opened the road for scholars, while Mr. Guan opened the road for merchants.These two account for almost [-]% of the people who can afford books.Once the affairs of Guan's side are also done, the market for their small printing shop will be completely opened!
Xia Ying's heart became more and more joyful.

"Duanniang, Duanniang, why do you think I just made friends with you now? If I had known you were so good, I should have been friends with you the first time I went to Ye's house!"

Guan Shi was amused by her.

"It wouldn't work at that time. At that time, I still disliked you as a country bumpkin, and I didn't even bother to talk to you!"

"Actually, at that time, I also disliked all of you for being evil-minded, thinking about how to kill you with my little brother every day!" Xia Ying also said.

Then, the two women looked at each other, and they both groaned and bent over with smiles.

The two laughed until tears came out, and then they both waved their hands.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these other things. Anyway, the ending is good now, that's fine! Let's eat quickly now! After eating, we will plan the specific process carefully. Wait for us to discuss it here Now, I'll write a letter to my younger brother and sister again, asking her to do what we arranged. In this way, the division of labor is clear, and everyone is responsible for their own piece, so that the cooperation will be smoother. " Xia Ying said.

Guan nodded. "indeed so."

She told the servant girl: "Go and call the waiter over here!"

Today they made an appointment to meet in the restaurant under the name of Ye's family. Of course, this matter was also approved by Ye Changwen.However, the two women had just met, and they were very excited. As long as they had a pot of coffee table and a plate of snacks, they sat down and chatted endlessly.

It wasn't until the topic came to an end that they realized that they had been talking for a long time, and now both of their stomachs were empty, and they were so hungry that their hands and feet were weak.

The guy in the store came over quickly.

"Young Madam, Madam Gu, what do you two want to eat today?"

"Just serve a few of the restaurant's signature dishes! Especially the squirrel mandarin fish, you must have one." Guan said.She wanted to treat Xia Ying well, so she naturally chose the best ones.

The waiter nodded quickly: "By the way, we have added a few new celebrity dishes to our restaurant. It has just been launched and it has become very popular. Do you want to try it, young lady and distinguished guests?"
