Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Three Printing

"Jiayi, our newspaper has been sold out. Now many places are urging us to print it. The newspaper you mentioned is really successful, and it is so successful."

Jiayi had just finished class and before he could finish packing his things, Yanel rushed in and grabbed his hand, pulled it aside and said excitedly.

Jiayi was very surprised. He had fantasized that this newspaper would be popular and highly sought after. Of course, he also considered unpopular situations. He had psychological expectations of being cold, but now he was still very excited to hear that the newspaper was sold out so quickly.

"How much did you sell?" Jiayi asked.

"2500 copies." Yanel seemed very proud. "We have only set up 4 points for the time being, 700 copies of the Academy, 800 copies of the North Water City, 500 copies of the Memphis, and 500 copies of Frenzas. Today, the news came. In just one day, all of them have been sold out, and many people are asking if there is any follow-up."

This is not so exciting that Yanel is not excited. 2,500 copies are not too much, but it is not too little. At this time, even the most popular magazines such as "Alchemy Manufacturing" and "Pharmacist" have only sold tens of thousands of dollars. With the popularity of newspapers now, the circulation of tens of thousands should not be a dream.

Memphis and Frenza newspapers were specially shipped by airship a few days ago. They were sold today, but Yanel was able to know the sales volume so quickly, and it seems that he had been contacted through the communication array.

It can be seen that he is still very concerned about the sales of newspapers, and the professors at the college are also very concerned. Otherwise, they will not use the communication array to contact them to know the sales of newspapers.

"Then go and print it quickly. Is it enough for just a copywriter?" Jiayi asked.

The college’s copywriter is not efficient, usually only thousands of sheets of paper a day, and even if it is uninterrupted for 24 hours, the printing volume will only double. Because it requires manual paper change, it takes 7 or 8 seconds to copy one page of paper, and less than 500 sheets of paper per hour. If you want to print 10,000 copies of newspapers, it will take about 3 days even if it is uninterrupted for 24 hours.

But even if the machine can, people can't hold on. With the repetition of mechanical operations, the printer cannot continuously ensure efficiency. In this way, if you want to print 10,000 copies, and with transportation, it will take 7 or 8 days to go to the other two cities, which is too long.

At this time, whether the newspaper's sales will decrease due to insufficient freshness is something that no one can guarantee. 10 copper plates are not too much, but not everyone is willing to pay this price.

Their sales network has not yet been launched and there are relatively few sales points. Unlike other magazines, the sales network covers almost all major cities.

After being told by Jiayi, Yanel also panicked: "This is indeed a problem. When I go back, I will be eyeing me and printing it in turn. The machine will be stopped. First, print it for one day and send it over. Then... Oh, no, the airship time can't catch up, so I still have to wait."

Yanel was very upset. At this time, he really wanted to have an airship that belonged to the academy alone.

The college does have airships, but it is impossible to transport newspapers to you. The newspapers do not have much advertising revenue yet. If the unit price is just based on the sales of ten thousand newspapers, the sales of 10,000 newspapers are only twice, and they cannot take "first class" yet.

The newspapers are of course amazing in terms of sales, but in terms of sales, the total amount here is only the money of a few magazines. Thinking of this, Yanel's mood suddenly became lower and he was not so excited.

Yanel threw away the lost thoughts in his mind and went back to arrange for the printing.

But in the academy, there are many people discussing the release of newspapers, which is not only the only one, but also because of this low price.

Even Loriel was very surprised. She didn't expect that the price of the academy was so low. Even before she worked part-time, she couldn't help but buy one when she encountered such a low price.

Jiayi and the others still miscalculated their sales. They were too conservative and thought it would be good to have 10,000 points, but in fact, just Beishuicheng, sales of 10,000 points are very simple.

Loriel and Travis walked into a restaurant with a newspaper. It was officially lively, but if you listen carefully, four or five of the 10 people said were talking about the newspaper.

Seeing Loriel and the others coming in with newspapers, many people stared straight at them. One of the mages came over and said to Loriel who was holding the newspaper in his hand: "Little girl, have you finished reading your newspaper? Can you resell it to me? I'll give you a silver slot."

"Ten...ten times." Loriel was startled. Although a silver slot was not a big money for the mage, it was amazing to buy a newspaper with a premium of ten times.

But Loriel still carefully refused: "No...sorry, this was what our professor asked to buy. We haven't finished reading it yet. I heard from the professor of the college that it is printing now, and a new newspaper will definitely come out tomorrow morning."

Loriel actually didn't know about printing, but logically speaking, since the sales volume was so good, she must have printing. After she worked part-time at the paper mill, her salary was pretty good, otherwise she might have to transfer the newspaper.

Seeing Loriel refuse, the mage walked back in disappointment.

There are a lot of people in the academy, with at least thousands of mage apprentices. The number of mages alone is more than 500, and there are other literate people. The 500 newspapers did cause a wave, but when someone passed by along the source, they found that they had been sold out long ago.

This makes people feel more curious.

Loriel and the others carefully found a seat to sit down. When they saw the leaving mage, they were a little disappointed. And many people stared at the newspaper in their hands. Loriel stood up and said, "Or what if I can read the news in the newspaper for you."

"Okay! OK! Then I'll trouble this lady." The person next to him cheered, and the boss also came up and brought them a pot of Ningshen flower tea.

Loriel apologized and smiled at Trivice. Although Travice was not very happy, she did not stop Loriel.

"This is the first issue of the college. The first issue is called the college's half-monthly newspaper. Each page is divided into four pages, with three pages and 12 pages in total. The first page talks about paper. The college has developed new paper. The specific content is as follows... The second article is an discussion, which talks about why paper has appeared for so long and has only been improved by the college. The author is Master Maduo..."

Loriel's voice was clear and bright, and with the help of magic amplification, the sound spread throughout the restaurant.

When the restaurant owner saw everyone listening to Loriel's newspaper reading, he couldn't help but think that he would definitely grab a newspaper tomorrow and hire someone to read it here specifically, which would definitely be very attractive.

Although the newspaper is only 12 pages, it is indeed a lot of content. The first page is full of news from the magic world, the second page is full of news from several surrounding countries, government orders and other news. The third page is mostly full of interesting stories from the magic world, popular science explanations, and the last page even serialized a novel, the Hobbit copied by Jiayi.

He heard that when Jin Yong was running Ming Pao, he raised sales, and thought that he would try to serialize novels in current newspapers.

This novel is one of the only Western fantasy novels that Jia Yi knows, and the other is the Lord of the Rings.

I originally wanted to write Journey to the West, and this one is more familiar, but it was too troublesome to change the location name to match the place here. Fortunately, he once roughly read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. At that time, it was the time when the Lord of the Rings trilogy was very popular.

But except for these two, he read science fiction novels and online novels. He can't write about Doupo here, or Alibuda? To be honest, the current Knight novels are full of such plots, and Alibuda has little advantage.

After serializing the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, Jiayi estimated that he would be able to stop writing, but his talent was exhausted. He wrote an online novel in his previous life but did not make it on the shelves. He could know that his literary thoughts were limited, so he should study magic, a promising job.
