Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Boss, things are arranged, the rest of the manuscript can be calibrated today, and the official printing can be arranged tomorrow."

As soon as Gavin Peter entered the office, he went straight to the topic and reported the situation to Xia Yu.

"Well, fine, sit down and talk!"

Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile and said with a gesture.

The 300,000-word novel that has not been serialized before has been written, Xia Yu has already given it to Gavin Peter, and it has been reviewed and calibrated.

The number of words in the manuscript just given is not too many, so it is normal to be able to calibrate it today.

"How's the progress now?"

Xia Yu leaned on the chair, looked straight at Gavin Peter, and asked.

Gavin Peter knew what the boss was asking, and he started debriefing.

"Boss, in terms of printing, the third and fourth volumes of the regular edition have been printed with one million copies each. In addition, the first and second volumes have been printed again with 100,000 copies each."

"As for the fifth volume, since almost three-quarters of the content has not yet been serialized, the sales volume will definitely be higher. I plan to print 1.5 million copies directly. Ma Tengdong has communicated and will use the printing factory of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. to print, and the printing factory of Jiuding Newspaper Company will also share part of the task."

"In addition to the regular edition, after I asked people to investigate, I found that many readers are willing to buy a set of "Xun Qin Ji" to collect, so I printed another 10,000 sets of the hardcover collector's edition of "Xun Qin Ji", all of which have been printed. stored in the warehouse."

"The limited retail price of each set of hardcover collector's edition novels is 40 Hong Kong dollars, and the ex-factory price is set at 32 Hong Kong dollars, leaving a profit of 8 Hong Kong dollars to the dealers, excluding equipment and plant input costs, and only calculating labor and The cost of raw materials, our production cost is an average of ten Hong Kong dollars per set, with a gross profit of twenty-two Hong Kong dollars.”

Xia Yu nodded to indicate that he had listened.

He has seen the samples of the hardcover collector's edition. The cover design is very beautiful, and the box packaged on the outside is also a high-end product. It looks tall and is very suitable for collection. Anyway, in Xia Yu's opinion, he is very satisfied.

Moreover, the hardcover collector's edition of "Looking for Qin" also has some exquisite wallpapers and accessories inside, which are only available in the collector's edition and are not sold separately. This is also a small means to arouse readers' desire to buy.

And the price of 40 Hong Kong dollars, Xia Yu also thinks it is suitable, after all, this is prepared for a small number of high-consumption people, so only 10,000 sets are printed.

It costs HK$21 for the regular edition of five books, and the hardcover is less than double the price, so it's not too expensive!

As for using the printing factories of the other two companies to help with printing, this is also a trivial matter, especially Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. Now it will take some time for the "Zhiyin Manke" comic magazine to come out, but the printing factory has already been built, and it is also empty. It doesn't matter if the book publishing company uses it.

These little things really don't need Xia Yu to worry about.

"How do you plan to sell? How do you plan to operate?"

Xia Yu asked again.

"Boss, in order to set a record for our first day of sales, I'm going to make a pre-sale."

Hearing this, Xia Yu looked interested and motioned for Gavin Peter to continue.

"My plan is to notify all dealers, conduct unified marketing campaigns, and open reservations, allow readers to make reservations, pay half the deposit as a deposit, and the number of pre-sale will be counted in the first day's sales."

Gavin Peter said.

Xia Yu nodded. This kind of pre-sale system is very common in later generations, especially in the Internet age, and it has played a lot of tricks. Now Gavin Peter said this,

If it is placed in the future, it may not be able to play.

But in this day and age, and the hot-selling "Xun Qin Ji" is still very suitable.

First, it can ensure that the company grasps the market context at the first time, determines the number of prints, and ensures that there will be no out-of-stock situation.

Second, it can also ensure the interests of the dealers, so that they will not blindly purchase goods, nor will they make less money due to less purchases. The dealers will definitely be happy to implement this system.

Readers who are willing to pay a deposit will almost certainly buy it, which allows dealers to stock up with confidence.

"Your plan is good, but there is only one problem, that is, the deposit. If there is a loophole, it is easy to have an accident. How do you plan to solve this problem?"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked straight at Gavin Peter, waiting for his answer.

"I have taken this into consideration, the deposit is collected by the dealer, but we have to issue a special bill prepared by us to the customer, and clear it when taking the book. If there is a problem with the confiscated bill, it is the dealer who is negligent and the responsibility is borne by them. , which can maximize the protection of the interests of readers and avoid disputes."

"When dealers buy goods, they must order in full, which can ensure the safety of the deposit. It is them who take the deposit to escape and lose money. We will pay the full amount to the readers when the time comes."

"And with the deposit, there is less pressure on the dealer to order the full amount, which allows the dealer to stock up more, which is beneficial to both parties."

Gavin Peter told his thoughts truthfully, Xia Yu nodded after listening to it, and agreed.

"Well, just do as you said. The official sales time is set in seven days. You can implement the plan later."

After being relieved, Xia Yu directly decided to determine the sales time.

Although there are only six days to print the last volume, the book company's own printing plant alone can print 1.2 million copies at full capacity, plus the help of the other two printing plants, printing 1.5 million copies is another 1.5 million copies. Simple things.

And Xia Yu also believed that these seven days were definitely enough!

The news has been released before, and the popularity has already gained. Now it only needs to burn a fire. When the time comes, a message will be placed in the martial arts section of the "Jiuding Daily". Targeted marketing is better than any advertisement.

After the plan was agreed, Gavin Peter happily went to execute the plan.

Xia Yu just stood up and wanted to go to Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in the same building. Suddenly, the phone rang. When he saw the caller's number, it turned out to be the number of Jiuding Newspaper Company, which had just left. He couldn't help frowning. The phone is connected.

"What?...Okay, I'll be right over here!"

After speaking, Xia Yu hung up the phone and rushed to Jiuding Newspaper Company.

Sitting in the car, Xia Yu frowned slightly and thought: "Sing Tao News Group also wants to build a news agency? It seems that this newspaper queen has a relatively strong personality. This step is to directly choose to fight us to the end..."

Arriving at the door of the company, Xia Yu got out of the car and went to the office, only to find that Yan Wenhan was already waiting there.

"Wenhan, what's the specific situation?"

As soon as he sat down, Xia Yu asked.

"Boss, after you finished talking to me five days ago, I specially sent people to pay attention to the movements of several major newspapers, and I found out that Sing Tao News Group is also planning to establish a news agency, and now it is integrating the company. I also inquired. Sing Tao News Group loaned to the Heung Kong branch of Pangu Bank of Thailand to establish a news agency, and Sing Tao News Group intends to make a real move.”

Yan Wenhan immediately reported the report. After speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the order of the boss, Xia Yu.

"Are you sure it's a loan?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and confirmed again.

"I'm sure it's a loan, but I don't know how much I've borrowed."

Yan Wenhan nodded earnestly and affirmed that his only regret was that he did not find out how much the loan was.

Xia Yu nodded slightly, as long as he was sure it was a loan, it would be easy.

"You also need a news agency for loans?"

Xia Yu squinted slightly in thought.

"It seems that the life of Sing Tao News Corporation is not easy. Even the money to build a news agency has to be loaned. Is Hu Xian sure it will be useful..."

Xia Yu touched his chin, his eyes were distracted, but he thought about it in his heart.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Xia Yu's mind, and his eyes lit up.

"Wenhan, don't worry, maybe this is a good thing!"
