Professor of Magic

Chapter 166 Lesson 47 Sales Runner Up

Since they didn't see Red, Lin Yuan and the three students went directly to the largest tailor shop in Windno City without any delay.

This time with Xiu Ni and the others, Lin Yuan is only for reference, after all, the script is written by him.

In fact, when it came to the various details of the costumes, the three girls put forward dozens of opinions and changes, so that in the end, Lin Yuan didn't even know whether the costumes were still from his own ideas.

"Mr. Lin, it's because you don't understand." Seeing Lin Yuan's wry smile, Xiu Ni actually stretched out a finger and shook it, in turn educating him. "Isn't the performance just to look good? If you wear such crude clothes as you said, it will not give a good first impression. Who will come to see it?"

"Exactly." Lilita echoed. "I really can't figure it out. According to the kind of clothes you mentioned, Mr. Lin, will anyone wear them?"

Lin Yuan could only shake his head, and turned to Natasha for help, but saw that even Natasha stood beside Xiu Ni and Lilita with a smile, needless to say, agreeing with their opinions.

"Alas—" Lin Yuan could only look up to the sky and let out a long sigh. "Shuzi is not enough to plan." Then he walked out of the tailor shop angrily.

The tailor shop is not far from the bookstore, so when Lin Yuan saw Thorns-Searle, he still had this resentful expression on his face, which made Searle, who came to greet him with a smile, somewhat bewildered .

"Ms. Lin, did someone offend you?" Searle asked cautiously.

He modified "The Significance and Promotion of Sports Events" without discussing it with Lin Yuan. Although this change is good, Searle is confident that Lin Yuan will not object, but he is somewhat worried.

Lin Yuan glanced at him, shrugged and said, "It's nothing, just a few students are disobedient."

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't have any intention of incriminating the teacher, Searle felt relieved and said with a smile: "Students, they are all children, and it's normal to be disobedient occasionally. But I know that Teacher Lin's prestige in the hearts of the students has always been very high. ,There should be no problem."

"Ha, it's a joke, it's just a joke." Lin Yuan smiled, and sat down under Syl's gesture. "I wanted to come to see you last weekend, but unfortunately you were not here."

"I heard." Syl laughed. "I had a party last weekend, and I really couldn't get away. Otherwise, Mr. Lin, if you came to see me, how could I avoid it? No, I know you will come this weekend, so I have been waiting here quietly today .”

"Boss Searle, you're being polite." Lin Yuan replied, and pondered for a while. Regarding the obstruction of the reform, because there were too many things involved, it was hard to talk about it for a while.

Although he had already thought of an explanation before he came to Searle last week, after the old man Hawke's reprimand, Lin Yuan's thinking has changed a little bit now. In many places, the explanation will be different from before .

"Teacher Lin, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up." Seeing Lin Yuan's hesitation, Searle also frowned.Now he and Lin Yuan are partners, if something goes wrong with Lin Yuan, he will be more or less affected.

"Actually, it's like this..." Lin Yuan thought for a while, and decided to simplify the matter as much as possible and say it straightforwardly.

After listening to Lin Yuan's narration, Syl frowned and thought for a while: "According to Mr. Lin's meaning, that is to say, the idea of ​​promoting this book to various elementary magic schools as a textbook is no longer feasible?"

Lin Yuan nodded in embarrassment.

After all, last time he persuaded Syl, this one also played a big role, but now he came to tell him that this way would not work, it would be a bit of a villain.

Who knew that Syl suddenly laughed, and there was a bit of joy in the laughter.

Lin Yuan stared at him in astonishment, wondering if the old man couldn't even stand this stimulation and went crazy?
"Mr. Lin, are you worried that I will blame you?" Searle said with a smile. "Actually, you don't have to worry. I also have something to apologize to you."

"What is it?" Lin Yuan was even more stunned.

"When you came to the bookstore last weekend, did you see the book "The Significance and Promotion of Sports Events?" Seeing Lin Yuan nodding, Searle continued: "Then you should know, that book is similar to what you gave The sample booklet is a little different, and I revised it without your permission, and speaking of it, I was always worried that you would come and scold me."

Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Boss Sear's words, since I gave you the sample booklet, of course I trust you. Besides, the revised version of the book is much better than the sample booklet, and the price has not changed. It's kind of weird."

"Is it strange that I would do business at a loss?" There was a sly smile on the corner of Searle's mouth.

Lin Yuan laughed dryly, he was indeed wondering how a profiteer like Searle would do such a thankless thing.

"Actually, Mr. Lin, you guessed wrong. Not only will I not lose money, but I will earn more." Searle shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Lin, since you handed over the sample booklet to now, there are only 10 yuan in total. God, do you know how much this book sold in the past 10 days?"

"How many?"

Searle stretched out a palm and said with a smile: "More than 500 copies."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, although since Syl said this so solemnly, he knew that there were definitely a lot of them.But in any case, I never expected that more than 500 copies had been sold in just ten days.

Although it is completely incomparable with the 10 paperback editions of "Mixed Magic Theory and Fundamentals", which were ordered within two months, this book is not a book on magic theory, and there are no books on it, such as old man Hawke and Sargeras. The signature of the magister, and without any pre-publicity, was able to sell 500 copies within [-] days!Lin Yuan was really surprised.

What's more, this is only the sales of one bookstore, Searle. If this data is expanded to the entire Kus Empire, or even the entire Farinos continent, how amazing the results will be.

"Mr. Lin, if you look at the recent sales list of our store, you will find that the sales volume of this book "The Meaning and Promotion of Sports Events" is second only to "Legend of the Great Master"."

This so-called "Legend of the Great Master" is exactly the entertainment novel that Lin Yuan has been chasing after.It is also the most popular entertainment novel during this period. It is a miracle that "The Meaning and Promotion of Sports Events", which can be regarded as a textbook, is second only to it in sales.

"The sales are so good, I really didn't expect..." Lin Yuan couldn't help murmuring.

Searle smiled: "Don't say you didn't expect it, even I didn't expect it either. The 100 copies that were first printed were sold out quickly, and then when I was reprinting, I made some changes myself to make it more Look better. In fact, this is also the practice in our industry. Books that sell well must be packaged better than other books, because this can attract more customers.”

"You don't need to explain this anymore, I understand." Lin Yuan nodded. This method is undoubtedly to concentrate resources as much as possible, and then obtain greater benefits from it.It can be said to be a very common commercial sales strategy.

"Facts have proved that my decision is correct. Although the cost has increased a little, but because I sold more, I still made a lot of money." Searle said again: "According to the rules, Mr. Lin, you can actually get a share now Before you came, I calculated that as of yesterday, a total of 542 copies have been sold, and according to our agreement, you should get 37 gold coins."

Lin Yuan waved his hand quickly: "Don't worry about this." He touched the broken ring on his left middle finger, and gave up the idea of ​​taking out some of the theoretical books on hybrid magic that he had written these days.

Originally, before he came, he planned to rely on this to continue to win over Syl, so as to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two.But now, hearing what Xier said, "The Significance and Promotion of Sports Events" alone has sold so many unexpectedly, and looking at Searle's smiling face, it is obvious that the relationship between the two is still under the bond of money. It looks very solid.

In this way, the book is not too busy to reveal the truth first.

After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan said again: "Boss Searle, although I admit that this sales volume is very pleasing, but it seems that this is not enough."

Syl was stunned: "Not enough? Mr. Lin, what do you mean..."

Lin Yuan frowned, and quietly said to the table: "My original intention was to use this book to promote the sports events recorded in it on the Farinos continent, although the result of selling more than 10 copies in 500 days is amazing. , but there is still a long way to go from my goal."

"I see." Syl laughed. "Mr. Lin, don't you know an old saying that you can't eat hot cheese in a hurry? There is no need to rush to publish a book. If you want to distribute this book to the whole of Farinos, why don't I want to?" .Now it is clear that this book will make money, and the more it is published, the more you and I will earn. Even if you, Mr. Lin, are broad-minded and don't care about the money, you don't think that even a layman like me doesn't care about it, do you?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but nodded in his heart, anyone who said that this old man doesn't love money would be blind.

------

The following are not included in the word count.

Let's take a look at some heartfelt thoughts.

I'm sorry to inform you that starting today, I have to reduce the amount of updates.

Although it is still updated twice a day, the number of words in a chapter will be reduced to 3000-4000 words, which means that the number of words updated in a day will become 6000-8000, which is a bit lower than the previous [-] a day.

Don't throw bricks yet, let me explain.

I am also very helpless to introduce the amount of updates. After all, the subscription to this book is okay, and more updates mean more money.I think everyone should understand that I, like Boss Searle, will never struggle with money if nothing happens.

But the decision still had to be made, and for a number of reasons.

First: the question of persistence.I have said before that 1 characters a day is my limit. The so-called limit means that I keep typing all day long, and at most I can only code more than [-]. Fifty thousand or even twenty thousand.

And since it was put on the shelves for a month, the number of words I updated every day is also 1, which means that I can't save the manuscript.But this month, our power grid has been transformed, and there have been power outages during the day for many consecutive days.The updates you have seen during this period are actually the manuscripts I saved before, and I worked overtime every day until [-] o'clock in the middle of the night to rush them out.

And until now, I finally have no manuscripts.At the same time, I can't get out [-] words every night, so I have to reduce the update, otherwise I may face a suspension of updates.And less is better than listening anyway.

The second is physical reasons.As mentioned in the first article, [-] words a day is my limit.And stick to this limit for a month.This month, every morning when I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was to turn on the computer. After a simple wash, I sat down to type and hardly moved except for WC and eating.

The result of this is that my waist is very painful now, but I have no time to see a doctor.In the last week, my right eye was also inflamed due to excessive fatigue, and now I look at the computer screen blurry.

If this continues, I don't know how long I can last.I have been hesitating since a few days ago, and until today, I finally feel that the body is more important.

For me, 6000 words a day is far less stressful than [-] words.It allows me to have more free time to go out and have a rest.

And if the status comes, maybe you can code more and save some manuscripts.In this way, if there is any accident in the future and you cannot code words—such as the upcoming Chinese New Year, it will not be interrupted.

The third is to consider the book itself.

Although [-] words a day is good, careful friends may find that the recent chapters are really poor, and I can feel this myself.After all, things that are coded in the limit state, among other things, the mentality will be different when it is relaxed.

I have been trying to improve my state for the past few days, but my body is not good, my spirit is not good, and this book is written here, I have entered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve.

If I can code fewer characters in a day, I can have more time to perfect the follow-up plot during my break. I believe that the things coded in this way will always be better.

And when a chapter is 5000 words, many places will consciously or unconsciously make up some, and then it seems a bit procrastinated.

If it is changed to 3000 words, the plot should be more compact, and it looks and feels better.

Combining these three main reasons, I can only regret to tell you that the update speed will drop.

But don't worry, the update speed is reduced for more stable updates.The stability of this book is believed to be very clear to friends who have been following it.I am also very proud of this and intend to keep it.

Having said so much, in the end, I said very brazenly, let's get some monthly tickets.

I worked so hard this month, 9000 words a day is called a burst, and my regular update is [-]. If this is still suppressed by others, I am very unwilling.

So although it is shameless to ask for monthly tickets while talking about reducing updates, I still want to say, vote for monthly tickets!
