Chapter 75 Fake Customers
Mu Qing put down the finished product in his hand in shock. Could it be that Hu Xiner wanted to sell this kind of book to increase sales?
He quickly stepped forward and earnestly advised, "Xin'er, you can make money, but you have to earn it slowly and not take any crooked paths. According to the law, it's not allowed to openly sell books like this!"
Hu Xin'er wasn't surprised by his reaction. Her face remained calm. "I've already found out about this. I didn't expect there would be a crackdown on pornography and illegal publications here. But it could be very useful!"
"Are you breaking the law knowingly?" Mu Qing couldn't figure out what Hu Xin'er was up to. "Breaking the law knowingly is an even greater crime!"
Facing Mu Qing's suspicious gaze, Hu Xin'er stretched and said with satisfaction, "I finally finished the last one!"
"Don't keep me in suspense." Mu Qing said, quietly pushing the freshly-made erotic picture aside. He couldn't let it pollute his wife's eyes.
Well, although it was drawn by my wife.
Hu Xin'er yawned and explained, "Didn't Sun Cai copy my book and sell it? So I'll deliberately draw a pornographic book and catch him red-handed when he tries to sell it!"
This is a good idea, but...
"Sun Cai is very cunning. He only pirates the most popular books. You can't sell your book openly..." Although Mu Qing didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, he still analyzed.
Hu Xin'er said proudly, "The books from Mu Xin Comics Store are naturally the most popular and best-selling, and they are in short supply!"
"I know you have talent, but if you want others to follow suit and sell, don't you have to sell too?" Mu Qing thought she didn't understand what he said.
The point is, even if Sun Cai is arrested, Mu Xin Comics Store will still be cracked down by the government.
Hu Xin'er smiled mysteriously and didn't explain. She just took out her purse and gave Mu Qing some money.
Mu Qing didn't accept it, but instead held her shoulders earnestly and said, "Xin'er, I think we need to talk."
Hu Xin'er chuckled. "I want you and Erdong to secretly hire fifty people. They must be honest, reliable, and secretive. We want men, women, young and old. It's best if they fit the profile of our comic book shop's usual customer base. It would be best if they're regular customers!"
"This is..." Mu Qing understood immediately, "You want to hire a bunch of fake customers!"
"What do you think? Am I smart?" Hu Xiner raised her head proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Qing's eyes were helpless and doting. Who made him marry such a smart wife?
However, looking at the room full of erotic pictures, he couldn't help but think of what he hadn't finished yesterday, and there was some resentment in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Hu Xin'er was so engrossed in painting that she had completely forgotten what happened yesterday.
This heartless look was really annoying. Mu Qing thought about it again and again, but still didn't say it out loud. He just brought the soup to her and walked out without saying a word.
"Oh, what's going on?" Hu Xin'er was confused and kept frowning while drinking the soup.
Could it be that he was angry because she had ignored Mu Qing these past few days? But during these times when she was in a daze, he had always been considerate and gentle, and he had always been very sensible.
I shouldn't be angry about this, then...
"Oh my god!" Hu Xiner screamed and hit her head in regret. Memories flooded back into her mind like water.
In other words, yesterday her handsome husband mustered up the courage to try to consummate his marriage with her, but she ran to the study and spent the entire night drawing erotic pictures?
Hu Xiner felt deeply powerless. If she were treated like this by Mu Qing, she would probably even have the urge to strangle that unromantic man to death.
With this interruption, the consummation of the marriage is even further away...
"Have you heard? Mu Xin Comics Store is going to have new products!" The sisters were whispering in the boudoir.
During the card game, the young wife, clutching the cards, had a gleam in her eyes: "I heard there's going to be a new product coming out, and it's a limited edition! Only the first 50 people can buy it!"
"I wonder if I can meet Mu Lang." The person next to him smiled with his hands covering his mouth. It turned out to be the young widow who behaved boldly that day.
"Is that the bookstore that sells both good and bad books?" someone on the street said in surprise, "They still dare to release new products? And people still buy them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew rebuttals.
"Boss Hu said it a long time ago that someone was jealous of their store's good business and deliberately produced pirated copies. Last time I went to the book signing event, every book was of excellent quality!" The person who refuted was a young boy who was very excited. It was obvious that he was a loyal fan of Mu Xin Comics Store.
"So what if someone deliberately destroyed it? The books in there are really obscene!" This topic attracted the attention of passers-by, and a scholar shouted loudly.
This statement attracted a lot of support from people, and the young boy was choked and speechless. He lowered his head in shame and accepted the pointing and criticizing of the crowd.
"No, no," a young scholar said. "As the sage said, 'Every man has his own opinion.' If it truly offends morals, why don't the government crack down on it? Besides, sharing a peach and cutting off a sleeve is a refined act. Your thoughts are rather filthy."
"Who are you calling dirty?" The scholar was feeling rather smug because he was attracting everyone's attention, but he immediately became upset when he heard this.
The young man mustered up his courage and said, "The books in Muxin Comics Shop are of excellent quality, and you can occasionally find rare copies of famous works! If you avoid this place just because it sells BL comics, it would be your loss!"
People were talking about it on the streets and alleys.
Although Mu Xin Comic Store mainly sells BL comics, there are many other types of books in the store, and the quality is excellent.
After his reputation spread, many people came to him. Some truly talented people had long been fed up with Sun Cai's monopoly, and when they saw high-quality and cheap books, they began to read them eagerly.
There are also many beautiful young ladies in the store, and those beautiful young ladies will also buy some books for their brothers.
Therefore, the audience of Mu Xin Comics Store is actually very large, because the books in Sun Family Bookstore are of such poor quality.
When Lao Liu first learned that Hu Xin'er had opened the Mu Xin Comics Store, he immediately realized that buying books was a setup.
However, the store had great sales and Hu Xiner had a very good attitude, so he became the exclusive supplier of Mu Xin Comics Store.
It can be said that even if Hu Xin'er does not release new comics now, Mu Xin Comic Store can continue to operate by relying on its old business and selling quality books.
The rumor that the comic book store had new products was naturally spread by Hu Xiner on purpose.
Soon, the show began. On the day of the new release, there was drums and gongs, and it was very lively. There was a long queue in front of the comic book store.
Of course, the first fifty people who were able to buy the comics were all hired by Hu Xiner.
In this way, subsequent customers will not be able to buy this "customized book"!
