My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 47 Classic Backstab
The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and today was just an ordinary day.

It is just an invisible big net targeting pirated readers, slowly falling over Lin County.

The first victim had already gone to Chen's Bookstore to seek redress with a grievance.

The county soldiers under Feng Guozhong have already started to move out, and have commanded the three shifts of yamen runners and street thugs to start a series of hype and diversion activities.

The plan has already begun to be implemented. Li Bailong had nothing to do, so he went up to a high place to look into the distance. Long Aotian opened his "Aotian Chinese website" and began to monitor the increase in pirated and genuine products in real time.

This box system works better than I thought.

Anyone who goes out to buy books excitedly will open the book and take a look at it once they get it. Once they have seen the content, no matter it is genuine or pirated, there will be an extremely small feedback of willpower. This extremely weak willpower cannot even be gathered by Long Aotian, but it is very useful as an IP positioning point!

Therefore, Aozi can almost locate and open the box as soon as the pirated reader makes any move.

Since you can locate quickly, it means you can act quickly.

then……

"Zhao Er! Stop the donkey cart! Hand over what you just bought!"

"Song San, your story has been exposed! Who were you flirting with just now?"

"Brother Xiaoyi, you are still reading this kind of book!"

No matter they were repeat offenders or ignorant newbies, they all fell into the trap of sting enforcement. Between "buying genuine products" and "going to jail for a few days", they had no choice but to choose the former.

After all, it’s a small county town, with a familiar society, and all the neighbors are acquaintances, so how can you run away! ?
Li Bailong observed for a while, listened to He Xianbing's report on the results, and nodded.

"Sure enough, street vendors are naturally rebellious and confrontational, and they won't obey you obediently."

Although the order to ban the sale of the imperial edict and to hand it over within three days had been announced, small vendors in Lin County hardly took any action. After all, the deadline was only three days, so they were not in a hurry.

Moreover, although the government office said that the purchase price was 10% higher than the purchase price, these small vendors were well aware that scarcity makes things valuable, and when they heard about the imperial decree restricting sales, they planned to raise the price privately - if they sold to the government office, the profit would only be 10%, but if I bought it myself, the profit could be 20%, so of course I would sell it first!
Unfortunately, Li Bailong had already anticipated their thoughts.

And make use of it.

Then there is the fishing enforcement by the constables!

"Pirated readers came to buy books. Although they didn't buy raw books, they were caught by the police and forced to buy genuine books. They paid twice as much for a book. How could they look at these peddlers in a good face? This kind of news spread the fastest. It won't be long before people dare to buy pirated books from peddlers."

Li Bailong explained proudly, "Of course I can find a way to collect all the pirated books on the market as quickly as possible, but some readers who want to read books will still buy the cheapest books. The soil for piracy is still not eradicated, and it will inevitably revive in the future. But now I allow peddlers to sell pirated books, but when readers buy a book, they will be forced to buy the original one. After being beaten, they will learn their lesson."

"In the long run, as the news spreads, they will weigh the risk of being caught for buying pirated copies and will vote with their feet. By then, even if there are still pirated copies on the market, they will not dare to buy them... This is called cultivating readers' awareness of genuine products!"

"..." After hearing this, Long Aotian said silently, "Isn't your method of cultivating genuine consciousness wrong?"

"Why is it not right?"

"...It's just a fishing enforcement, luring them, and then severely extorting their gold coins. Using this method to cultivate genuine awareness seems a bit wrong."

Li Bailong heard this and said confidently: "I've said before that pirated readers also have a kind heart. So the question is, why do pirated readers still read pirated books when they obviously have a kind heart? The reason is very simple. It's because they have too much money. Their kind hearts are blinded by money!"

"I ruthlessly exploded their gold coins, and took out all the money that had covered their consciences. Then, their dusty good hearts began to shine again. You see, after their gold coins were exploded, they became genuine readers. This is the ironclad evidence that their hearts have become kind!"

"..."

Lao Long, who was just a piece of shit with only knowledge of fighting, killing and killing, was completely confused.

"Besides, if they become legitimate, there will be great benefits."

Li Bailong said in a chuckle, "They bought an extra copy of the original edition and wasted their money. When reading books, they must read the original edition with better quality. And in order to justify the extra money they spent, they must read it hard, seriously, and carefully. They must have more aspirations, right?"

I can understand this! Aozi became happy and said decisively: "Then continue to blast gold coins!"

Having said this, he returned to his workstation and began to identify pirated readers more carefully.

At the same time, Chen's Bookstore.

Boss Chen tossed and turned all night and went to bed in the morning. After sleeping for three hours, he got up excitedly, feeling refreshed and his mind was clear. The depression of several months was swept away.

When you wake up, good things will happen to you.

"Boss, after we opened today, some people came to buy The Legend of the Imperial Battle of Heaven!" the bookstore manager reported, "The sales volume has increased by more than a hundred copies compared to the past, but some people feel wronged and are not very happy."

Boss Chen looked at the account book and also found it a little strange.

He thought about it, and called two waiters, ordering them to go out on the street to ask around. He also asked the maid to prepare a few fruit gift boxes, took them to the street, found a few customers who had just left, and started to do user surveys.

"I see."

Half an hour later, the information was gathered and Boss Chen knew the cause and effect.

"It's so cool to work in the government office!"

Announcing peddlers, hyping up public opinion, and conducting sting operations, this series of tactics may just be the unfathomable plan of Yunqiwei in the eyes of Feng Guozhong and He Xianbing.

But to an expert like Boss Chen, one can see how powerful it is.

"In this way, all the pirated copies in Lin County will be sold out in a short period of time. In other words, only my family can print and sell "Legend of the Imperial Battle Heaven"..."

Chen Baitang sat in the back hall, pondering and thinking: "How amazing..."

As the sales of books increased, according to the agreement, Boss Chen had to donate a portion of the dividends to the County Lieutenant's Office. In terms of money, Jie Yuanlang was looking for a way to make money for the County Lieutenant, but this was just a small matter. Jie Yuanlang had been making things happen these past two days, and it was definitely not for this little profit, but...

"Long Batian..." Boss Chen muttered, "Destroying all pirated copies overnight and increasing the sales of Chen's Bookstore is both a gesture of goodwill and a demonstration, because whether Chen's Bookstore can open or not depends entirely on Jie Yuanlang's decision. He wants to tell the old thief that if he still wants to publish books in Lin County, he must get past him..."

Is this the method used by the local sages of Lin County?
This kind of attack that transcends business rules and seems like a miracle from outer space is beyond the imagination of an ordinary businessman like Chen Botang. He is just a little worried.

"How should the old thief respond..."

But there was nothing he could do.

No matter what Jie Yuanlang's intentions were, Chen's Bookstore was the ultimate beneficiary.

In this case, I can only cooperate with Jie Yuanlang.

After Boss Chen figured it out, he began to arrange the business.

First of all, there are the tea doctor and storyteller who receive throat-moistening money from the bookstore every month.

"They said the government wanted to ban this book because some of the content was too pornographic and violent..."

What Boss Chen said was very vague, but the storytellers understood it very clearly. After all, it was normal for them to make a living by talking, so it was normal to tell some dirty stories.

These Linxian anchors took the money and went their separate ways.

Then notify the steward.

Soon, various signs and banners were hung outside the bookstore.

"The Legend of the Imperial Battle of Heaven is on sale, with the first three volumes sold as a bundle at a discount of up to 30%."

"Those who purchase three volumes at a time, or have already purchased all three volumes, will receive a discount coupon for the fourth volume."

"The fourth volume of "Legend of the Imperial Battle Heaven" has entered the printing stage and will be released soon."

When it was released last night, Boss Chen urgently arranged for the typeset printing of the fourth volume.

As the news spread, more people came to buy.

"I have more wishes and more power! It keeps growing!" By the afternoon, the power of wishes had begun to be further fed back to Long Aotian. Aozi was surprised and happy, "It's strong and powerful, so strong and powerful!"

The pirated readers gained kind hearts, the genuine readers got the surprise of the upcoming release of the fourth volume, the people in the yamen got dividends, the bookstore owner got sales, and Aozi got wish power, and half of the wish power will turn into pure truth and enhance Li Bailong's Yuan Gong.

There is a bright future for all.

Amidst the joyful atmosphere, the wind was mixed with the aggrieved cries of a young boy.

"You guys...are bullying me! I just bought the first three volumes, and you're giving me a discount!"

The author’s words in Chapter 45 were added later. In case some readers missed it, I will talk about it again.

The tone of the beginning of this book is to go slow rather than fast, so the plot setup and stage setting took a while to write, but it will be over soon. It should enter the main storyline of the first volume in three days, which will bring everyone a heart-warming story.

In addition, the main plot of this book is not to write and sell books, you can rest assured about this. The plot of writing books is just a wedge for everyone to understand this world and get involved in the plot. There will be many wonderful stories in the future.

Please smile more while you can (crossed out).
