Chapter 347

Rin was hit on the spot, and when he let go, he scratched his face and said stubbornly: "Improve your acting skills in the future, don't let me get caught in the middle of a tiger again."

"Got it, meow."

Back to the contestant seat, Rin gestured to the silly roe deer who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, and cast two healing spells on him and the useless meow, and then he relaxed his deliberately locked brows, looking much better.

Qiyu glanced at the two of them with a half-smile, looking quite teasing, but sighing in his heart.

It was also because of Rin and his personality that she, a demon king, was tied to her old enemy, the brave man. I really don't know what the future will be like.

If they really get to the opposite side, who should the junior brother point his weapon at?

Xiye didn't have so many thoughts, but looked at Rin dotingly, with a gentle expression.

This little "farce" ended quickly, and even if someone was unwilling, they didn't dare to directly yell for the two to compete again.

After that, it was the closing ceremony. There were no performances like the opening ceremony. There were only a few heroic epics recited. Then, the emperor of the empire and the princess who came to the palace gave speeches. It was the end of the ceremony.

Augustine's speech was similar to the opening ceremony. It was long and complicated. After reading for a quarter of an hour, it was finally over.

Everyone cheered up and waited for Princess Lina to speak on the stage.

Everyone knew that Princess Lina's curse had been lifted. She had a good personal relationship with the heroes. There seemed to be rumors that she had an unclear relationship with the son of God.

Lina would come to watch any of Lin's games on weekdays, which also confirmed this statement.

As for this princess, they could only take a quick look through the flashing picture of the image crystal. It was the first time in the past two years that Her Royal Highness had given a speech on the stage.

People looked at the curtain with curiosity, longing, or eating melons. The citizens who had a high liking for Lina smiled like aunties and worried about their parents.

At this time, Lina had walked to the front of the stage, standing straight in front of everyone, using this posture to tell everyone that she was able to move and would soon recover.

She gave a speech in a routine manner. The speech was prepared by herself. Compared with her gloomier father, her voice was pleasant, and her intonation was also infectious, so she was naturally very popular.

"Finally, I sincerely invite all students and teachers to attend the farewell banquet in the evening. Don't forget it~"

After a kind reminder, the speech ended and the College Cup officially closed.

The audience dispersed with reluctance. The next time they wanted to see a large-scale competition, they would have to wait for the Legend Cup after the spring of the second year.

The Legend Cup is also the most grand event in the entire continent, and it is also jointly organized by powerful countries. The number of auditions alone exceeds one million.

The Legend Cup competition is not fixed. It is held during the human-demon truce to select elites from all forces.

In the current 26-year truce, it was once every three years at the beginning, and later it became once a year.

Because there is no war internally or externally, the human camp needs this game to determine the current combat power of its own camp.

Anyway, there is nothing to do every year, and the civil war can be reconciled, so we can only rely on various competitions to show our strength.

The Legend Cup covers a wide range of competitions, and the contestants will win. I will not explain it in detail here.

Rin and Lina met up, had lunch together, and came to the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

When the time came, the official opening, fireworks rang, and people who came to congratulate from priests to nobles to famous adventurers were endless.

The nobles came for the identities of several people.

They have always believed that this Chamber of Commerce was jointly opened by two princesses, saints and brave men. Although the store is small, they still have to give enough face.

Everyone's gift money was accepted by Rin with a smile.

Compared with other priests and bishops, he has the privilege of owning private property, and the opening gift is also a legal income.

The total amount of these gifts and gifts was not small. For the sake of the gold coins, Lin did not show an arrogant face this time. She was always smiling and very friendly.

Then the group of people each bought a limited edition gold-bound novel and left without staying to delay the process.

After the congratulations, it was time for the official listing and sale.

Lin had expected it in her heart, and she was a little excited at this time, staring closely at the crowd rushing in.

"Lin, don't be nervous, we have done a good job in publicity. I have asked people to conduct private research before. Those who can afford the arena tickets are interested in buying books."

Lina took Lin's hand and comforted her softly.

Behind him, Shaluozi and Qiyu were sorting out the gift list and valuables, and Feimiao and Xiye, two poor students, were helping.

Gifts and gifts are a considerable income, and there will be more people coming to give them, so they will take care of this part.

The Demon King has nothing to do for the time being. Automatically put into the role of a good wife and mother, with a clear division of labor with Iris.

They were on the second floor, and Lin looked down from the French window at the long queue of people, and was also calculating in his mind.

This time, because the competition was postponed, the illustrations were completed on time, and the staff worked very hard, as of yesterday, 50,000 copies were printed, which was twice the last plan, which was also the original idea.

If all 50,000 copies can be sold out in the next few days, and the subsequent reputation is good, then we have to hurry up to buy a workshop to continue printing, and it is best to keep in line with the General Assembly of Giorar.

It is okay to borrow the church's workshop, but you can't take advantage of others every time, because others have their own things to do.

Even the biographies and poems written by the archbishops were not intended for profit.

After waiting for half an hour, Christina hurried upstairs to report the situation.

"Master Lin, the employees are too busy now, and the store is too crowded, which will affect the checkout time."

Rin had already made some preparations for the former, and had drawn a group of volunteers from two churches and suffocated the knights for maintenance, but for the latter, it was the first time for Lin to open a store, and he really hadn't considered it.

He said immediately: "Business will be booming these two days. You should immediately have someone rent some bookshelves and wooden cabinets and put them directly in front of the store. We will occupy this section of the street, but don't affect the main road."

"That person..."

Rin looked out the window and saw a group of people wearing monk robes; "They are already here. I will arrange it later.

I have been busy from noon to the beginning of the banquet. When Rin came back from the banquet, it was already eight o'clock and the store began to proof.

Rin asked about the sales situation. In eight hours, more than 5,000 books were sold.

This is mainly because there is only one store, and there are too many people waiting. Tomorrow, the venue must be expanded... It is better to rent the square directly to ensure faster sales.

Considering that the students will leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest, and his own purpose is to let these people take the books back to various places, Rin specially prepared a student-only checkout this time.

I think the worst is one book in a college.

Today's results are gratifying, and tomorrow it will double. It will be sold out in three or four days. This is good news for Rin.

Chapter 117 Female Demon Hook Soul

The shop has been proofed, and Rin gave some bonuses. After the people dispersed, they returned to the reception hall.

Several people gathered together to discuss today's sales.

"Master Rin, today's momentum is the same as expected. If it continues like this, it will be sold out in less than four days."

Kristo's voice was trembling, his excited face was flushed, and his eyes were watery.

In Rin's opinion, "he" looked more like a girl, and he felt a little awkward.

He secretly said in his heart that he was a dead sissy, and then said seriously: "Don't relax, we don't know what the reputation will be in the future."

"I will do research in a few days." Christina said firmly.

Rin rolled his dead eyes; "So, you plan to stay here for a few more days? "

Students of the Royal Academy of Giorar will leave the day after tomorrow. Lin originally thought that Luo Tai would go with them.

"Hmm..."

Christina seemed to think of something, lowered her head, pinched the hem of her clothes in a tangled manner, and whispered: "So Master Lin, can I go back with you?"

After that, she quickened her tone and added: "I promise not to disturb you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since you are working for this master, how can you be left here? But I have to make it clear first, the final exam is coming soon, you have to focus on it, if you fail, you will see how I will deal with you. "

"I will work hard. "

Christina was very happy, looking up with her face and eyes wide open, staring at Lin, and thinking of Lin's suffering, she felt very pity in her heart.

"Puff. "

Qi Yu, who was drinking water, almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying: "Today's gift list has been counted. Congratulations, junior brother, there are 443 gold coins alone."

"So many?"

Rin was still a little surprised by this. There were four types of people who came to congratulate this time. The first was nobles and people in the military and political affairs of the empire. The second was some well-known non-noble chamber of commerce presidents. The third was church clergy. The last was some well-known adventurers who came on behalf of the Adventurer's Guild.

Among them, the clergy did not give gifts. They came to bless and buy a book and leave. The nobles and chambers of commerce were more particular about this. They mainly gave gifts, and the gifts were just polite. The bulk of the money went to the former.

Although adventurers were not particular about details, they liked to give spoils of war more than directly giving money.

"Nobles and chambers of commerce are also divided into different levels. ”

Qi Yu is very experienced in this and explained: "Smaller nobles and chambers of commerce know that no matter how carefully they choose gifts, it is difficult to leave an impression unless it is something very rare. But if it is too expensive, it will be a loss in exchange for this impression. It is better to give money directly to make a deep impression."

"That's right."

Rin touched his chin: "What about the gifts? Have you converted them?"

"Like the paintings and crafts given by the eldest princess and the prince, it is difficult to estimate the price and there is no way to sell them, so I will ignore them. The others are about 3,000 gold coins in total."

"!"

Rin didn't know what to say in his heart, he could only say that they are a group of damn rich people.

In those false memories, his original identity had birthday parties and the like, and only gifts from his peers could reach him, and most of them fell into the hands of Duke Orlan.

That was a great noble and businessman in Giorar! It is conceivable that the profits he lost are countless.

"It seems that I can give more bonuses to employees in the future. "

If you want a horse to run faster, you have to feed it more grass. Lin knew this truth. He gave a lot of bonuses to the workers and managers of the printing workshop, and he was not really stingy.

Of course, compared with the cost savings, those bonuses were nothing.

Huh? You ask why we exploit Angela... Isn't it natural to pay back debts? That's called interest.

Yin's words were her own choice. What Christo gave was actually equity. When the Chamber of Commerce expands, the profits will be no less, so the word exploitation has nothing to do with him.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, I've calculated it. Xiao Lin's production and labor fees are the highest. According to the price of one silver coin and ten copper coins per book, the total cost of 50,000 books is 550 gold coins. If all can be sold, the price of 10 silver coins is 5,000 gold coins in total!"

Silly roe deer has no concept of money, but when he thinks about making money instead of spending money, he instinctively feels happy.

Excluding bonuses and the like, the store's money, including manuscript fees, can actually make a net profit of more than five times.

Of course, this is because Lin's cost is low enough. The first month's employee salary has not yet been paid, plus the first publicity effect, and the population benefits of the reputation and the college cup that just ended.

After that, including printing costs, the cost of opening chambers of commerce and stores in various places, employee expenses, and even transportation costs and tariffs, are all huge expenses.

In addition, once the hot spot is over, the sales trend is stable, and there is no such high profit. The net profit of a book can be two to two and a half times, which is a very high profit. Lin's goal is the same.

"This book will be a best-seller in the first week. Next, Christo, you should keep a close eye on it. There are other things to do when you return to the capital."

Rin gave an order and asked Christo to go back to sleep. Then he chatted with a few girls and went back to their rooms.

Lina slept with the silly roe deer and the useless cat again this time. Qiyu escaped and disappeared. Lin stared at Xiye practicing calligraphy and studied for a while. When it was almost time, he went to bed.

He just swayed left and right, tossing and turning, and couldn't fall asleep.

It's not that I was thinking about SeSe and exams, but mainly because I slept too much in the past two days, and I made my first pot of gold today, and the excitement has not passed.

After staying up until past twelve o'clock without falling asleep, Lin simply stood up and walked out of the room.

At this time, Xiye had fallen asleep on the sofa, and the lights in the living room were not turned off.

There were two stacks of paper on the table, one of which was for practicing calligraphy, and the other was the work report of Xiye's team this time.

Lin didn't know much about work reports, but he was good at writing learning summaries and experimental reports. He had bought a book with templates and cases before and taught Xiye step by step.

Picked it up and took a look. Now it was written in a decent manner.

The sofa was spacious and comfortable, almost like a bed. Xiye was used to sleeping here. If it wasn't for Lin pulling her to take the exam, she would definitely fulfill her duty of guarding and would not want to share the bed.

Even at this time, she didn't fall asleep completely. After Lin stood in front of her for a few seconds, she had opened her eyes.

"Brother... why are you awake?"

"It's okay, I got up to turn off the lights for some idiot, you continue to sleep."

After Lin finished speaking, he touched her head and turned back to the bedroom.

He actually wanted to go out for a walk and take a breath, but if Xiye knew, he would have to follow him, otherwise she would not be able to rest.

So he waited for a while, and when she fell asleep again, he changed his clothes rustlingly, opened the curtains and looked at a building in the distance, marked the coordinates, and then turned on the teleportation to move there.

There were knights guarding the entrance to the corridor and the door, and he didn't want to take a walk at night with a bunch of people following him.

Although his space teleportation can only customize three coordinates, it can be cancelled and changed at any time, there is no cooling time, and it is not divided by the type of coordinates. It is actually more advanced than the intermediate space teleportation magic.
