"This! How is this possible! "
In the editorial department of Whole Foods Media, Hocatolin stared at the two identical picture albums in his hands in shock.
This was sent back from Chaos City by Garland's fastest flying steed. As the boss of Whole Foods Media, Hocatolin was also one of the picture book lovers.
Garland did not send him a gift to cater to his tastes. After all, he knew that what he liked was not such a proper picture book.
Hocatolin, who had a bookshelf full of colorful picture books at home, was not surprised by how beautifully "The Story of the Little Mermaid" was drawn, but that the two picture books were exactly the same!
This was a colorful picture book!
According to Garland, there were 1,000 copies of the same picture book in Chaos City, and they were sold in limited quantities at Mamy's, priced at 1,000 copper coins.
What did this mean?
Most people would think about how to buy a few more copies, and then resell them at another place to make a profit.
From Hocatolin's professional perspective, this picture book could be sold for 50,000 to 80,000 copper coins in Rodu's current color market.
The picture style was exquisite, and the story was interesting. It should be loved by many rich ladies.
If he bought it for 1,000 copper coins, he could easily make 100,000 copper coins before the news spread to Rodu.
Garland had asked him to help sell it …
Of course, that was not all.
1,000 copies of the same picture book meant that someone in Chaos City had solved the problem of color printing.
This was undoubtedly disruptive news to the print media.
Imagine, if Whole Foods Media added color illustrations to their magazines, what kind of impact would it have on the gourmet magazine market?
If this cost could be reduced, and the price could be controlled, the increment of Whole Foods Media's magazines would be unimaginable.
Hocatolin's breathing became heavier at the thought of this.
Because Garland had sent back a piece of bad news at the same time. Meg had rejected the exclusive collaboration with Whole Foods Media, and had signed with 10 gourmet magazines at the same time.
This meant that Whole Foods Media's exclusive advantage had been lost, and the million-dollar miracle in the previous issue could not be continued.
But if they could get the wealth password of color printing, other than gourmet magazines, at this moment, he had already thought of countless industries that would usher in a drastic change, and there were countless opportunities hidden in them.
Not to mention anything else, even if he took out a part of those exquisite picture books from his collection and deleted some of the scenes that were not suitable for dissemination, it would be enough to shake up the picture book industry and make a lot of money.
The good news was that this batch of picture books came from Mr. Meg, and the picture books were drawn by his daughter.
The bad news was that Mr. Meg was clearly not an honest person who would easily fool others. He sold a thousand copies of the picture book that cost one thousand copper coins each in one day and easily obtained a million copper coins.
Hao Keto wasn't sure if he had the ability to make such a person share his wealth password.
Hocatolin walked to the door of his office, and said to his secretary, "Book me a ticket to Chaos City tomorrow. I want the fastest flying steed."
"Okay, boss."
…
"Interesting. How did Mr. Meg do it? He had actually managed to break through a problem that had not been solved for so many years, and he had even managed to do it so exquisitely! Was it magic? It doesn't look like it either. "
Buffett Manor. Hill sat comfortably on the sofa with her legs crossed. She looked at the picture book in her hands and clicked her tongue in wonder.
It was a rare break, and the picture book was given to her by her subordinates. It came from Amy's and was made by Anne.
The story was very interesting, and the drawings were very exquisite.
The comfortable colors and drawing style allowed her to enjoy half an hour of pleasure.
However, what interested her the most was the picture book itself.
It was a color picture book, and it was a mass-produced color picture book with figures.
This thing had never appeared in the market before.
The reason was very simple. Until now, no one had been able to print a picture book in color.
It was not that no one had tried, but most of them were very rough, and the colors were limited, so the combination was very ugly. It was better to use black and white to leave some room for imagination.
Someone once said that if anyone could solve the color printing problem, they would have the next wealth password in the paper industry.
Now, this person had appeared.
Hill stroked the picture book, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
As expected, Mr. Meg had never disappointed her. From the steam locomotive to the color printing now, it was easier to accept with some foreshadowing.
The Buffett Family did not dabble much in the paper industry, but everyone knew the importance of a widely distributed media. It was the same for the Buffett Family.
Now, she smelled the scent of a revolution in this industry. The new rich would appear very soon, and this time, she might have the opportunity to set up a plan in advance.
"I wonder if Mr. Meg is going to do it himself this time, or sell the technology like before." Hill pondered for a while before turning to the door, and saying, "I want to see the information of the best media people on the Norland Continent tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Young Mistress." The secretary's respectful voice came from outside.
…
"Quick! Send this back to Rodu and get Old Fang to print 10,000 copies! "
In a guest room in the north of Chaos City, a middle-aged man handed a picture book wrapped in a few layers of cloth to a young man.
The young man frowned, and said, "Father, this … isn't a good idea?"
"What do you know? We built our business on this. What's wrong with that? Even if we don't print it, others will. When it's everywhere in the market, what are you going to print?" The middle-aged man jumped up and smacked the young man's head with a look of exasperation.
"B-but if we print 10,000 copies directly, what if we can't sell them? This isn't some restricted product that can't be bought in the market. "The young man covered his head with an aggrieved expression.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, and said, "What do you know? This is the red braised pork recipe drawn by the daughter of the owner of Mamy's. Do you know how many copies of Mr. Mak's eggplant with garlic sauce were sold in the last issue of The Whole Food Mart last time? A million copies! You idiot! Not to mention 10,000 copies, I reckon we have to print a few more times. "
"But …"
"But your mother … Hurry up and crawl!" The middle-aged man kicked him.
The young man went out dejectedly, and did not dare to say anything else.
…
Meg still did not know that "The Story of the Little Mermaid" had attracted so much attention, but he had already started to plan how to sell "Miss Black Cat" better.
This time, he planned to release it in Rodu. If he were to set the price, it would be 2,000 copper coins per copy.
The price was twice as high as the Little Mermaid's, but the number of pages in this album was more than twice as high. Moreover, Annie's painting style had been honed for a period of time, and the way she presented it in "Miss Black Cat" was far beyond the Little Mermaid's.
Moreover, his target audience was those rich and nobles who had money, leisure, and some appreciation. They were the opera house's target audience.
