Knowledge is priceless, but the carrier of knowledge is valuable.
Although ordering a set of ancient Chinese poetry albums from Amazon costs close to ten dollars in total, which is much more expensive than a novel, many people are still willing to pay for it.
On the one hand, this kind of "reference book" reading material is inherently more expensive in the United States. On the other hand, this picture book is indeed very well done.
Due to various reasons, within one week, more than 500,000 sets of this album were sold. And one week later, the daily order volume increased instead of decreasing. By the second week, the number of orders increased by the second week.
After the batch of poems came out, more and more people bought them.
Ancient Chinese poetry suddenly became popular in the United States, and a group of experts came over to analyze what was the reason that made ancient Chinese poetry so popular with Americans.
Some people say it is because Yu Dong, as a world-famous best-selling novelist, his appeal is imaginable, and he had previously distributed so many special novels about ancient Chinese poetry to American readers at book signings.
Signs are considered by many experts to be the main reason why ancient Chinese poetry attracts Americans.
Another group of people believe that although Yu Dong’s appeal is very strong, there are other reasons why ancient Chinese poetry has been so popular, such as the beautiful album, the clear and simple analysis, and the right elements of love in the poems.
The appetites of boys and girls.
Anyway, experts are analyzing the reasons for the popularity of ancient Chinese poetry from various aspects.
In fact, the main reason why ancient Chinese poetry has become so popular this time is because of the marketing of Deep Space Company. The initial wave of popularity on Amazon was just an introduction.
Since launching this theme in the summer, Deep Space Company has made a complete set of marketing plans.
In the YU Umbrella Association alone, within a month or two, all branches together held more than 1,300 large and small ancient Chinese poetry exchange meetings.
The smaller ones only have four or five people, while the larger ones can have as many as seven or eight hundred people. The impact can be said to be very large.
At first, the YU Umbrella Association independently organized ancient Chinese poetry exchange meetings. Later, Shenzong supported an association specializing in the exchange of ancient Chinese poetry, called "Fengya Song".
With the help of the Deep Space and YU Umbrella Association, the "Feng Ya Song" association has developed rapidly. In less than two months, it has nearly 20,000 members.
Therefore, the subsequent exchange meetings were basically organized by the "Fengya Song" Association, and many of them were large-scale and high-standard.
As a newly established ordinary association, "Fengya Song" naturally has no money. Everything they do is supported by Shen Kong.
This time, in order to run a special album on ancient Chinese poetry, Shenkong spent more than five million US dollars on the "Ode to Fengya" association alone.
There is also the matter of student love letters. In fact, it also started with marketing. Deep Space America promoted this matter in several major cities, and then some students actually put poems into their love letters.
When the special picture album on ancient Chinese poetry began to show signs of exploding in popularity, Deep Space bribed columnists and reporters and began to publish a bunch of news about why the special picture album on ancient Chinese poetry was so popular in the United States.
No matter where you are, people like to join in the fun. When you see it written about it in the news, other people who had not paid attention to the special album on ancient Chinese poetry also started to pay attention.
In the entire marketing process, Deep Space Company spent more than 10 million US dollars. It is not easy to make back this money just by selling albums. After all, the cost of flash printing is not low.
But Deep Space doesn't care at all. What Deep Space wants is to make this thing famous.
Once this special album is successful, the three companies that will benefit will be Deep Space Company, Flash Print and Amazon.
Both Shanyin and Amazon have shares in Deep Sky, so Deep Sky can be said to be the biggest winner.
As long as the thing is successful, the more than ten million US dollars is nothing at all, it is just a batch of regular advertising fees.
Besides, ancient Chinese poetry albums are not just released in batches. As long as they can continue to attract the attention of readers, the subsequent profits that can be brought to deep space will also be endless.
The most important thing is that only Deep Space Company can make this money, and there is no way for others to compete with Deep Space Company for business.
…
Yu Dong soon saw the finished product of the ancient Chinese poetry album, but it was not the sample sent to him by the company.
He went back to her parents' home with Cheng Yanqiu and saw it at a bookstall on Anren Street.
"Look, look, the pride of the nation, the most popular reading material in the United States, only costs two dollars a copy."
The couple, who were about to walk past, couldn't help but turn back when they heard the cry.
"Boss, what is the pride of the Chinese people and the most popular reading book in the United States?" Cheng Yanqiu asked.
The boss looked at the young couple in front of him, feeling like he had met the man somewhere before, but at the moment he was more concerned about the business in front of him.
"Look." The boss pointed to the picture album hanging on the board, "This is it. It is a high-quality picture album. It is a collection of poetry appreciation compiled by Yan Normal University and hundreds of well-known experts and teachers. It has been sold in the United States.
Tens of millions of copies have been dropped.”
Cheng Yanqiu raised his eyebrows and asked Yu Dong in a low voice: "Are there tens of millions of copies?"
"Of course, no." Yu Dong whispered back, and then asked the boss: "Boss, did you import this from the United States?"
The boss nodded confidently: "Yes, I have a friend in the United States, and I got it with great difficulty."
Yu Dong glanced at the picture album hanging on the board, "I heard that the picture albums produced by Deep Space Company are in color. Why are all of yours in black and white?"
The boss said calmly: "The news you read is behind the times. In order to make the price more affordable, Deep Space Company has specially released a black and white version. Otherwise, do you think you can buy it for two yuan? Forget the color version.
I can't sell you for a hundred dollars."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yu Dong couldn't help but curl his lips, "This deep space company is quite friendly to the people."
The boss looked at Yu Dong up and down, with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "You are not a local, are you?"
"How to say?"
"If you are a local, you must know Deep Space Company. In Jinling, who wouldn't give Deep Space Company a thumbs up? Their company is Jinling's golden brand."
"Boss, are you from Jinling?" Yu Dong asked.
The boss smiled and said, "That's not true. I'm from Luzhou. I just came here last month."
Cheng Yanqiu muttered, "No wonder I looked so strange."
"Ah?" The boss heard Cheng Yanqiu mutter, but didn't hear what she said.
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said: "I said you look familiar. I live nearby. I have been shopping on this street every day since I was a child. Basically, everyone who does business here looks familiar to me."
"Oh, I'm a local." The boss rubbed his hands, "I'm just here too, please take care of me, take care of me."
Yu Dong nodded, took an ancient poetry album from the bookstall and flipped through it.
The quality of this set of pirated brochures is very average. The original color pictures looked very blurry after being converted into black and white. They can be sold for two yuan simply because this set of brochures has become popular, and there are not many pirated versions on the market.
Not very competitive.
I believe that before long, the number of pirated copies on the market will gradually increase, and the quality and price will gradually stabilize.
Nowadays, the domestic piracy market is growing wildly, and the profits are so high that regular companies want to get involved.
When he saw that his company's products had been pirated, Yu Dong was not angry at all.
Perhaps because he had anticipated that such a situation would occur in advance, Yu Dong did not respond. Moreover, the services of Flash Print and Amazon have not yet come to China at this stage, and they will have no impact on Deep Space's income.
Shen Kong definitely wants to build an online shopping website in China, but there is no rush now. The computer business is still slowly being developed. Shen Kong wants to handle the current business well and then focus on the online shopping website.
"Boss, buy a copy."
Yu Dong put the book down and shook his head, "No money."
The boss smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Come back next time when you have money. I will keep this booklet for you."
…
After Yu Dong and the others had walked away for a while, the boss, who was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper, suddenly stood up.
The man just now seems to be...
The boss ran to find a copy of last month's "Yangtze Evening News" and flipped through a photo.
"Here--"
The boss patted his head and his ears turned red.
Although he makes a living by selling pirated copies, he feels a little embarrassed to sell pirated copies to the owner of the original work.
And I don’t know what Yu Dong’s temper is like. If he meets a narrow-minded person, he might take revenge on him.
"Oh, by the way, why didn't I remember it? They said his lover is from Anren Street..."
When the boss first came to Anren Street to do business, he heard people say this, saying that the lover of Jinling Light Yudong was from Anren Street. When they got married, it was very lively, and many people around came to watch.
…
Of course, Yu Dong couldn't take the trouble to take revenge on a bookstall owner just because he sold pirated copies of his own products.
If this is the case, he should stop doing other things all day long and concentrate on eliminating piracy.
Some people say that piracy occurs in China because people are poor and cannot afford genuine copies. As long as people have money, they will definitely buy genuine copies spontaneously.
This is pure fart.
Regardless of how rich Americans are, if they allow the sale of pirated copies, the genuine ones will be wiped out immediately.
In China, if we want to eliminate piracy, we can only legislate and crack down harder, but this is not necessary.
Everyone knows that piracy is harmful, but everything needs to be prioritized. At this stage, China still has many more important things to do than eliminating piracy, so eliminating piracy can be done first and later.
Yu Dong also wants to eliminate piracy, but he also knows that now is not a good time.
After having lunch at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the couple wandered back to Jinyi. When passing by the bookstall, Yu Dong took a special look, but found that the poetry-themed picture albums on the bookstall were no longer there. The boss was now
I don't know where he went.
It's a long walk across Anren Street to get to Jinyi, but neither of them is in a hurry.
They walked back and forth on this road countless times. It is no exaggeration to say that they could touch it back even with their eyes closed.
Occasionally they would meet people who recognized Yu Dong on the road, and the couple would greet each other with a smile.
Youzaiyouzai arrived at Jinyi. From a long distance, he could hear noises at the door.
Yu Dong looked up and saw a large group of people surrounding the main entrance of the school. The noise was coming from the "encirclement".
"Little kid, I love you. Little kid, I love you."
First, there was a man's voice. He must have been shouting for a long time, and it sounded a little hoarse.
Then I heard Uncle Zhou's voice coming from inside, "Young man, you've been screaming for almost half an hour. Go back quickly. The police will really come soon."
"Little kid, I love you. Little kid, I love you."
The man ignored Uncle Zhou at all and continued to shout desperately.
Listening to the man calling Xiao Wanzi at the top of his lungs, Yu Dong was secretly speechless. It turned out that he was a fan of Xiao Wanzi and even chased Xiao Wanzi to school.
It is actually quite normal for movie fans and drama fans to come to Jinyi to see these stars. Basically, there are people like this at the door every day.
In addition to chasing those celebrities, many people also came to the door of Jinyi just to try their luck and want to meet literati like Yu Dong and others.
However, in the past, whether they were chasing movie stars or literary people, they were basically more restrained and stayed at the door to take chances. Even if they saw someone they met, they would shout out from afar. This was the limit.
.
Standing at the door and yelling for half an hour like today has never happened before.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother, please leave quickly, don't disturb the normal order of the school here anymore." Xiao Fang also advised him from the side, and I could tell that he also
I tried to persuade him a lot, but my words sounded like there was smoke coming out of my throat.
"Yes, if you really like Senior Sister Hu Jing, leave now, otherwise she will only be unhappy if you make trouble here."
"Yes, yes, let me tell you, our teacher Yu is very strict. If you cause this mess for Senior Hu Jing, he will definitely punish Senior Hu Jing."
Yu Dong, who was watching the excitement not far away, had several question marks above his head: "???"
The man became more enthusiastic after being persuaded by the people around him, "Little boy, I love you. If that teacher Yu bullies you, I will help you beat him up. Little boy, I love you, if that teacher Yu bullies you."
,I'll help you……"
The man kept repeating the same sentence, like a repeater.
Cheng Yanqiu looked at Yu Dong with a smile: "Look, you have made an enemy again."
"Looks like I need to talk to Hu Jing about this later."
Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes, "What does this have to do with that little girl Hu Jing? Isn't this man crazy?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I'm so anxious to protect her. I only said I wanted to talk to her about it, but I didn't say I wanted to criticize her. Now that she's getting more and more famous, I have to be careful about this."
"That's true."
The two watched the excitement for a while, and some students had already noticed them, but they were not prepared to get involved in the matter, so they prepared to walk into the school.
Just then the police arrived.
I thought that when the police came, this man would be honest.
But when he saw the police, the man became nervous and rushed into the school with all his strength.
Uncle Zhou wanted to stop him, but before he could raise his hand, he was pushed back by the man and fell flat on his back.
Yu Dong saw Uncle Zhou falling to the ground and was about to help him when he saw Uncle Zhou getting up in a hurry, pointing at the man rushing into the school and shouting: "Catch him, catch him."
There are students all around, young, strong, and enthusiastic. When they see a man trying to rush the card, each one becomes more excited than the other.
The two policemen didn't even move, and the man was already subdued by several boys and sent over.
After being sent to the police car, the man was still howling: "Little boy, I love you, little boy, I love you."
Uncle Zhou just fell hard. He rubbed his butt with one hand and walked over with a folding fan in the other. He hit the man on the head with the fan, "Love, love, love your mother's shit!"
The two policemen did not dare to stop him, so they could only quickly drag the man into the car and drive him away.
…
At first, everyone thought this incident was just an unexpected incident, a small episode, but within a few days, such incidents began to become more frequent.
Not all of them ran to the door and roared, but many people would sneak over the courtyard wall and run in, just to find the little boys and girls.
