Chapter 14 Ivory Press

When the blessing of the goddess of art meets the creative outline of classic works, what will be the result?

The answer is - unscrupulous publisher!

In just one month later, Lin Taiping, who was covered in scum, ended his retreat and walked out of the manor. Under the incredible eyes of a large group of noble businessmen, he threw out dozens of new books in one breath, and by the way he did not forget to spit out blood: "Everyone, this is what you want, don't forget your promise!"

Well, since he really did it, the stunned nobles would not break their promises. Speaker Federer accepted the "Twelve Rules of Love Masters" with condemnation, and then took out a large stack of gold tickets, saying that Lin, you can print as many copies as you want, as long as you want, the premise is that you will give me one copy first for each new set.

This is what you said! Since someone is willing to pay the bill, Lin Taiping will certainly not miss this opportunity. So the dark creatures who had just buried their heads in writing and started a very busy work. Just overnight, many people were surprised to find that there was a sign with black letters on the front of the Ivory Evening Newspaper, which read - Ivory Publishing House.

Immediately afterwards, the rumbling printing sounds rang for three days and three nights, causing residents to protest collectively. When the fourth day was dawn, dozens of books that had been serialized in the evening newspaper were collectively released, and the content even exceeded the novel fashion workplace health care education science, and the span was incredibly large.

Have you ever seen a spectacular scene like selling books and cabbage? If you have never seen it before, then you will see it now!

This is impossible! Marquis Grandet, who was lying at home with two legs broken, was almost frightened and furious when he heard the news. Even the most famous writer in Contans often took a year or two to release a work with a decent sales, but that damn little face actually wrote dozens of works in one month?

Well, that's fine. After all, there are always geniuses in this world, but what makes Marquis Grande vomit blood is that even those barbaric monsters such as the pig-headed monster dark elves joined in the fun and wrote a book or two, especially the head of the Taurus, who is known as a foodie. This guy actually finished "Success Science" in one go, and shamelessly replaced Carnegie with Tulu...

Curse you! The books that curse you cannot be sold. The books that curse you can only be burned as firewood!

Marquis Grandet cursed fiercely, but he was destined to be disappointed, because these works just released by Ivory Publishing House were sold out by enthusiastic readers just three days after their official release. Taking the most popular "The Lord of the Rings" as an example, the first part of this fantasy story is printed at 2,000 copies, and the price is as high as two gold coins, but even so, there is still a shortage of supply.

This is just the beginning. Seeing these works sold out directly, Ivory Publishing House started working overnight and continued to launch the second, third and fourth editions... By the way, the work with the best sales volume is not the highest-rated "The Lord of the Rings", but the "Twelve Rules of Love Masters" that was not on the counter at all. From this perspective, readers of Ivory Island really love literature.

After a month of success, the book sales boom finally cooled down a little. Grandet finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish the breath, Ivory Publishing House shamelessly threw out dozens of new works, focusing on a very bloody novel called "Princess Restoration".

In fact, the new book published in the second issue caused a greater sensation than before, especially the book "The Princess of the Pearl", which was despised by many men, was popular throughout the Ivory Island in just a few days. Women from eight to eighty years old each handed a book, and they were both crying and laughing intoxicated. I wonder how many people said when they went out was - Your Majesty, do you still remember Louise on the shore of Lake Baiga?

Then, Lin Taiping suddenly realized in tears that he shouldn't have had a bad taste at the beginning, so he wrote down his name on the author columns of many works. As the sensation of these works spread, he, a guy who had never written a single word, became popular all over Ivory Island overnight.

Let me put it this way, just the love letters he received can add up to circle around the Ivory Island. The noble girls with little stars in their eyes were swearing to declare that they would not marry him. Speaker Federer's favorite only daughter even took her father's safe and sneaked into the evening newspaper, strongly demanding to elope with him.

That's not all. The readers who read the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Princess of the Pearl" even surrounded the evening newspaper three layers inside and three layers outside, forcing him to quickly write the contents behind it. A wealthy guy rushed in directly, slapped the astronomical gold tickets on the table, and said fiercely: "Write, write now, I'll give you ten gold coins for 10,000 words, and give you as much as you can!"

Angry! Seeing this rude behavior of using money to smash people, Lin Taiping was immediately trembling with anger: "It's outrageous. I am a professional author. Do you think I will put down my literary dignity after taking out a large stack of gold tickets... Then what, "Princess Rejuvenation" has not yet come out, why don't you make do with it first? "Love Deep Rain"?"

In fact, it was not just Lin Taiping who was tortured to the point of being overwhelmed. Christine, who had just found a few books, and they were also in dire straits.

With that book "A Good Mom Better than a Good Teacher", Christine suddenly became a parenting expert. Every day, a large group of mothers came to visit her with their children and asked her how to do early education, and she paid by the hour;

After the publication of "A Hundred Date with Beauty and Makeup", night songs have become a fashion vane of Ivory Island. Basically, what she wears when she goes out, those loyal female readers will wear. Even if she just wears a torn straw hat casually and runs out the next day, the streets will be full of torn straw hats, and it is also called beauty, which is the return to nature;

As for Tulu, this guy has now become a guest of honor for those merchants since he finished writing "Tulu Success Science". According to Lin Taiping's unscrupulous teaching, this guy chewed the roast lamb legs while spewing out those nouns that he didn't even understand... In short, our goal is to make people unable to understand at all!

In this way, after another month, the craze was no longer limited to Ivory Island. With the long-term voyage trade of caravans, these works gradually spread. At first, they were just islands near Ivory Island, followed by the entire Cape Sea. It is said that in the distant island of Tren, a princess even offered a high price of 5,000 gold coins and offered a reward of the second part of "The Princess Returning to the Pearl".

All this is money! The booksellers who smelled the smell of gold coins immediately rushed from all directions. They wiped their sweat with red faces and rushed into Lin Taiping's manor with golden tickets. However, a group of taurens ruthlessly blocked outside the study door, saying that Lin was conceiving a new work, so even if Speaker Federer came, he had to wait honestly in the reception room.

What can I do? Dozens of resentful booksellers could only sit in the reception room honestly, drinking coffee with dry mouth and staring fiercely. Everyone knew how much profit these works could bring. Whoever Mr. Lin chose to cooperate with would make a lot of money in the next few years.

"Listen, I want the copyright of those sets of novels, and it is permanent." Mr. Des, from Tren Island, is the most famous bookseller in the Cape Sea, so less than two minutes after sitting down, he looked rich and slapped a large stack of gold tickets on the table. "Give up, everyone, you'd better think about how to get the copyright of other books."

"Just just your words?" Mr. Kod, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly and retorted without hesitation, "Mr. Des, you seem to have forgotten that I am not much worse than you in terms of strength, and in order to obtain the authorization of Mr. Lin, I have brought all my wealth. Are you sure you are sure to defeat me?"

"That's right, those who offer higher prices will of course win." Mr. Vicci, who was full of red hair, also joined the battle and did not forget to attack the small booksellers around him. "Everyone, if you don't have enough strength, it's better to leave as soon as possible, such as the one who is still wearing an outdated evening dress last year... Hello, don't look, I'm talking about you!"

Following Mr. Vicci's contemptuous gaze, everyone turned their heads neatly and looked at the corner with a sarcastic face. Although the fat man sitting there was still decent, he seemed extremely shabby compared to the wealthy merchants around him. The most speechless thing was that this guy was here to negotiate the publication of the book, but he even brought three beautiful girls over. Do you think this is a vacation trip?

I? The fat man who was collectively despised by a group of people was stunned at first, then his face was flushed and furious, so that the three beauties beside him couldn't hold back: "Damn bastard, don't look down on others. I can tell you very clearly that I will definitely get the copyright of these books, and I will definitely do it!"

Why? A large group couldn't help but sneer, and Mr. Des stood up sarcastically, holding coffee with a arrogant face: "Is that true? This shabby gentleman, can you tell me why you have such inexplicable confidence? Don't tell me that you are Mr. Lin's father."

This joke is not funny at all, but a large group of booksellers laughed happily, and was so irritated that it was about to smoke above their heads. The fat man waved his arms angrily and slapped his chest with a thump.

"Get out! How could I be Lin's father? But...but...I am his father-in-law!" (To be continued...)
