Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 300 Painting Exhibition
"I think you're just dreaming." Zhang Zhong curled his lips, not taking Song Xiang's words seriously at all.

"Hey, let me raise prices all over the sky, and let you just sit back and pay back the money." Song Xiang laughed straight, "If you don't want to pay, I will buy the book myself, you just need to write, it doesn't take much effort at all. "

Zhang Zhong's eyes widened: "What! You still wanted me to buy books?"

"No, you heard wrong."

"Don't think about so many signed books. I'll get a postcard later, and you can make a few hundred copies."

"Where is this going? Besides, I'm also a boss. Although the company is not big, I can't be so shameless."

"You want cards. I see that many people are selling my autographed books online. Go and buy them yourself. I don't believe you can't get more than 200 copies."

Song Xiang smiled awkwardly, "The cheapest of your signed books on the Internet is seven or eight hundred, and I have seen the expensive ones that cost tens of thousands. Of course, no one seems to buy the ones that cost tens of thousands. If you really buy them online, I must not go bankrupt."

Zhang Chong smiled, Song Xiang was exaggerating, even though several hundred thousand was not a small amount for him, it would definitely not go bankrupt.

As for what he said about the market for signed books, Zhang Zhong also knew about it.Chen Qing had told him about this before.

Zhang Zhong's signature book is considered high among writers, but not the highest.

The selling price of a writer's signed book is not only related to his fame, but also related to the stock of his signed books.

Now the most expensive autographed book in Huaxia should be Zhuang Yu. His autographed book starts at one thousand, and many of them cost tens of thousands of copies, and the transaction volume is not low.

A large part of the reason why the price is so high is that Zhuang Yu seldom gives autographs. He has not even held a signing event, and the autographed works revealed are very few.

The rarer the thing, the higher the price.

However, there are also many chaos in the signed book market. Although Zhang Zhong and Zhuang Yu's signed books are relatively expensive, they are at least normal, because their works are of high quality and the books themselves are very valuable.

And many idol stars also publish books, and many of the books they publish are relatively empty.A few days ago, a female celebrity published a book, which contained a lot of illustrations, and the text only took up a small part, and many of this small part were not original, they were plagiarized chicken soup for the soul on the Internet.

Even such a book still has her fans buying it.

Under normal circumstances, their books are sold by signing.

Fans are not going to buy books, but to "buy names".

This phenomenon of "buying books" instead of "buying names" is actually a market choice and understandable.

But this situation is not good for the development of the literary world. A large number of such works flow into the market, and the sales volume is not low, which will make people feel bad about the book market.

After regaining his senses, Zhang Zhong talked to Song Xiang again, and finally agreed to sign a book for each of their company.In fact, he has never had any stubborn principles for this kind of thing. Song Xiang is his good friend, as long as he asks about this matter, he will definitely help him.

As for Song Xiang, although what he said at the beginning was exaggerated, he actually wanted to ask Zhang Zhong for a few autographed books, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhong to really agree to his initial request.

He clapped his palms and said happily, "Let's go to Restaurant No. [-] tonight."

Zhang Zhong was also not polite, "Then Boss Song spent a lot of money."

Hu Huifang asked curiously beside him, "Where is No. [-] Restaurant, is it famous in Yanjing?"

Zhang Zhong waved his hand and said, "It's just an ordinary restaurant."

Hu Huifang didn't believe it, she looked at Song Xiang again, Song Xiang smiled and said, "Auntie, it's really just an ordinary restaurant."

It's just for Zhang Zhong - Song Xiang added in his heart.

After eating, several people left in no hurry, chatting without saying a word.

Hu Huifang and the others were not familiar with Song Xiang, but Zhang Chong's parents had never met Song Xiang during his four years in college.But then Zhang Zhong was lying in the hospital, and Song Xiang and Lin Lin went to the hospital to see Zhang Zhong, so his parents were not too unfamiliar with him.

During the chat just now, Hu Huifang also mentioned this matter, saying that when Zhang Zhong was in the hospital, few people went to see him, and Song Xiang went more than once, so they remembered.

When people are in trouble, it is easiest to build relationships. Zhang Zhong lay in bed and didn't know it, but his parents always remembered it.

After chatting for a while, when we got to Pengpeng, and heard that Pengpeng was learning to paint, Song Xiang said, "Hey, it's just a coincidence, the shopping mall downstairs has an art exhibition in the afternoon, since Pengpeng is learning to paint , you can go and have a look."

"What kind of art exhibition is a shopping mall?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"You are old-fashioned. Why can't shopping malls hold art exhibitions? Many shopping malls now want to upgrade their standards, and they all have this thing, and I can tell you that the paintings in these art exhibitions are still some well-known painters. Works are different from those scammers who sell them on the street." Song Xiang said.

Zhang Xingjun asked curiously, "Then can I buy the paintings in this art exhibition?"

"You can buy it, but the procedures are more complicated. You can't take the painting away after paying the money. In fact, how many customers in the mall know art? Most of them just watch the fun. Maybe they don't know the names of those painters. I have heard that generally no one would buy a painting on the spot. After all, there is no clear price tag, so if you go to ask for a price, it would be shameful if you ask for a price that you can’t afford.”

"That's true, let's go and see later."

Song Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you there in a car, just in time for you to help me sign the two hundred books."

"Heh, you're killing two birds with one stone."

……

After sitting for a while, they set off for Song Xiang's company.

The location of Song Xiang's company is relatively not very prosperous, but the transportation is quite convenient, as is the case with ordinary IT companies.

Although it is not as prosperous as Taikoo Li, the shopping mall downstairs is quite lively. This is the difference between a big city and a small city. As long as you don't leave the third ring road, you will be full of people everywhere.

Parents took Pengpeng to go shopping in the mall, while Zhang Zhong followed Song Xiang to his company.

Song Xiang now has two companies. The one they are working for is the first company, which is the head office. It has a little more people, more than a hundred and dozens of people. The new company has just been established, so the number of people is much smaller.

When Zhang Zhong passed by, the employees were a little surprised when they saw the boss leading a man wearing a hat and sunglasses into the office.

After arriving at the office, Song Xiang poured Zhang Chong a glass of water, "Taste it, the tea I brought from Nanhuai is usually something I'd rather not bear to drink."

"Then you can drink it yourself. I live in Nanhuai and drink it every day. It's not as rare as you."

"Che, if you're embarrassed, you can send me a few bags of good tea later." Song Xiang looked at his watch while talking, "The delivery of the books will arrive in a while, just wait a while."
