Cui Yuanzhao didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he waved his hand and asked, "How's the situation?"
Zhang Da couldn't help but smile. "In taverns, brothels, and some inns, comic books and novels have been gradually introduced. People really like these things. We've only been back for three days, and we've already sold three hundred copies of the novels. Although we've only sold less than a hundred copies of the comic books, they're actually more popular in private..."
The content of the comic book was boldly explicit. When had people in the capital ever seen such lifelike illustrations? They regarded it as a monstrous flood, but at the same time, they couldn't help but become obsessed with it.
Cui Yuanzhao nodded in satisfaction.
They spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a total of one thousand comic books and novels from Qihuai County, at an average price of twenty taels of silver per book.
When resold, it would only fetch one or two taels of silver, a price that was already astronomical compared to the comic books that were once popular in the capital. However, the bold and novel content was so rare that it was still widely popular.
Cui Yuanzhao turned his gaze to Wang Jingze.
"There won't be any problems with the printing. I've used some connections, and no one will find out that it's just the two of us doing this business."
Cui Yuanzhao couldn't help but clench his fist. "Good, although we spent a lot of money, I can already see this deal earning us countless amounts of silver. Jingze, this is just the beginning!"
Even if only a hundred copies of each of the thousand different comic books and novels were printed, it would be enough for them to earn several times their initial investment in this business.
Moreover, the population of the capital is countless, so it's impossible for a book to only sell a hundred copies.
This is a steady stream of income.
The only questions to consider are whether we can sell fast enough and in large quantities!
