Ci Jinzhi Chapter 91

  Chapter 91 Propaganda

  Yaxin Bookstore is very confident in Mr. Ping An's new book. Originally, shopkeeper Gu's plan was to keep an eye on the opposite party, and once there were signs of a sale on the opposite party, he would spread the news of the release of Mr. Ping'an's new book first.

  Those who spend money like water are a minority after all. Most people buy this kind of leisure books carefully and carefully. Mr. Ping An's new book grabs these customers, and the new books on the other side can only be backlogged and sold slowly.

  Today, a group of troublemakers came across and obviously should be in a state of distress, why did they release a new book!

   Seeing more and more people walking into Qingsong Bookstore, shopkeeper Gu hurriedly posted the notice outside.

   What comforted him was that a lot of people gathered around before the announcement.

   "Hey, Mr. Ping An's new book is also on sale today."

   ""Ghost Maid"—looks good!"

   "Hey, the money I brought is only enough to buy a copy. Should I buy the second part of "Painted Skin" or "Ghost Maid"?"

   "Needless to say, it must be Mr. Ping'an's "Ghost Maidman". Mr. Ping'an's book can't be wrong."

   "But I really want to know what happened behind "Painted Skin"..."

  So some people went to Qingsong Bookstore, and more people went to Yaxin Bookstore.

   Seeing this scene, Shopkeeper Gu heaved a sigh of relief.

   Heh, what a surprise, no amount of tricks can shake Mr. Ping An's position.

   "Boss, the bookstore opposite is robbing customers." Liu Zhou reported the situation to Xin You in a low voice.

   "It doesn't matter. You find someone who is not good enough to buy a new book by Mr. Ping An and let me have a look."

  Xin You calmed down the boy's worries, and went to find someone to buy books.

  The street where Qingsong Bookstore and Yaxin Bookstore are located is suddenly bustling. Watching the customers coming in and out of Qingsong Bookstore, King Qing stopped thinking about contacting Xinyou.

  Actually, up to this time, he still couldn't tell the reason why he came here after leaving the palace, probably because of the novelty of discovering a person who looks like his father.

  King Qing casually ordered the guards to buy a new book from the opposite bookstore, and headed towards the palace in a low-key manner.

  Not long after, Xin You received Mr. Ping An's new book "Ghost Maid". Although the title of this book is straightforward, it is a bit interesting for those who like strange stories.

  Xin You carefully read the book with the mind of knowing oneself and the enemy, with a face full of indescribable words.

   She overestimated the other party, and only the title of this book is interesting.

  On this day, those who bought "Ghost Maid" excitedly finished the book, and their anticipation before reading it turned into disappointment, regret, and depression.

   "What a waste of time!" Shen Ning, the former owner of Qingsong Bookstore, threw "Ghost Maid" on the table and picked up the lower part of "Painted Skin". "Let's read "Painted Skin" again."

  Thanks to him thinking that the rain and dew will be even, he bought both.

  The next day, Duan Yunlang returned to the Imperial College with a look of excitement: "Meng Fei, have you watched the second part of "Painted Skin"?"

  Meng Fei shook his head blankly: "Is the second part of "Painted Skin" coming out?"

   "It went on sale yesterday, and I've watched it all. It's so beautiful and unexpected!"

  Some students who finished watching heard Duan Yunlang speak and started talking about it.

  Because it was a holiday yesterday, most of the students didn't know that the second part of "Painted Skin" was on sale, and soon more people joined the discussion.

   "Tell me what happened later." Meng Fei put a hand on Duan Yunlang's shoulder.

   "No, no, if you want to know, hurry up and buy it." Duan Yunlang firmly refused.

  Meng Fei sneered: "We all know that Qingsong Bookstore is opened by your sister."

  At this moment, a voice sounded: "Hey, have you all read "Painted Skin"? I bought Mr. Ping An's new book "Ghost Maid"."

   "I also bought "Ghost Maid"..."

"Yes, me too…"

  For some reason, the voices of those who said they bought "Ghost Maid" are a little low.

  Meng Fei is a fan of story books, so he immediately asked, "What is "Ghost Maid" about?"

  The person who was asked was in a daze: "I thought I had watched "Butterfly Fairy" again after finishing it..."

  Another person was more straightforward: "Boring, boring, tasteless! My hundreds of words are for nothing!"

   "Is it really so ugly? I was thinking about buying "Ghost Maid" first, after all, it is Mr. Ping An's book."

   "Great, then I'll go directly to buy "Painted Skin". Can you tell me how "Painted Skin" is—"

  Duan Yunlang jumped up: "You can't say it, you can't say it, you can buy everything you want to read. It's not easy for a little girl like my cousin to open a bookstore. Brothers, please support me."

  Amidst the booing of the classmates, the teacher walked in with a straight face: "What's the matter?"

  The teenagers quickly shut up and put up their books.

   When the lunch break came, a large group of students rushed out of the Imperial College and went straight to Qingsong Bookstore.

  Many times, I am afraid of comparison. If there is a large gap between the release time of "Ghost Maid" and "Painted Skin", even if the story is mediocre, it can still have a good sales volume with the name of Mr. Ping An. However, the two books were selected to be released on the same day. The more people compare, the more they feel that "Ghost Maid" is a money-swindling work without sincerity.

  As the word-of-mouth of the two books fermented, there was a long queue in front of Qingsong Bookstore, while Yaxin Bookstore became empty.

   Shopkeeper Gu was so anxious that a lot of his hair fell out. He looked at the lower part of "Painted Skin" over and over again, and got an idea.

  The market for story books is not only for men who have read books, but also for girls who are waiting to read and women who pass the time. These people are often not as well-informed as men, and they will lag behind in buying books for a few days.

  Compared to the affectionate "Ghost Maid", "Painted Skin" is so scary. If you grasp this point of publicity, you can scare those girls away.

   Soon, rumors about how terrifying the second part of "Painted Skin" spread. In this way, many timid women really hesitated.

   Shopkeeper Hu felt that something was wrong after hearing these rumors. After careful inquiry, he knew that the opposite bookstore was playing tricks.

   "Yaxin Bookstore is used to using these unscrupulous methods!" The old storekeeper complained angrily in front of Xinyou.

  Although Xinyou has other plans for running the bookstore, who would think that money is biting his hand, let alone this kind of malicious competition that cannot be used to.

   "Shopkeeper, don't worry, since they have released such rumors to affect female customers, then we can also publicize the advantages of "Painted Skin"."

   "The boss means—" Shopkeeper Hu sincerely asked for advice.

   "For example, the beautiful woman Wang Sheng loves is actually an evil ghost in human skin. After being discovered, he took out Wang Sheng's heart and ate it."

   Shopkeeper Hu looked bewildered: "The rumors about the lower part of "Painted Skin" are too scary, that's how it was spread."

Xin You smiled: "We can use another direction to promote. Wang Sheng's heart was taken out by the evil spirits. Although it was terrifying, it also showed that he would not end well if he was interested in sex, and it would not end well if he raised a foreign room. In the end, it will be saved by the wretched wife. Even if those timid female customers dare not watch it themselves, they can buy it for their father, brother and husband to see more."

   Shopkeeper Hu:!
