The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 49 Image Design Authorization
Yue Wenxuan’s Douyin account has become more and more popular in recent days.

As the series of videos "Qi's Army Eliminates Japanese Pirates" was played one episode per day, the audience also connected the plots of the videos, capturing the salt village occupied by the Japanese pirates and then defending against the Japanese pirates' counterattack. The two short battles were connected together, allowing the audience to have a better understanding of the actual combat use of the Qi's Army's Mandarin Duck Formation.

In the end, Houyi jumped out and shot Wang Daguanren to death, which made the audience look shocked. But after being shocked, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Veteran fan Wu Jianxia summed it up: "In the age of cold weapons, it was nearly impossible to kill the enemy leader in a defensive battle. As soon as the Japanese pirates were defeated, Wang Daguanren would escape on horseback. The UP host, out of 'rationality', couldn't arrange for the Qi family army to kill Wang Daguanren. But this was unacceptable to national sentiment, so the UP host arranged for Hou Yi to come out and kill Wang Daguanren...using an absurd ending to satisfy the audience's spiritual needs."

Uncle Thirty-Two: "I didn't understand it before you analyzed it. But after seeing what you said, I suddenly understood."

New fan Sky Blue Snowball: "I see, I almost became a Mongolian."

The best initial intention of a new fan: "What does Mongolian mean?"

Sky Blue Snowball: "People who are kept in the dark."

New fan Hudiehao: "By the way, this Hou Yi figure looks awesome, I want to buy it."

Sky Blue Snowball: "I agree! This is what Hou Yi should look like, wild and powerful. The Hou Yi with the toothpick arm in King of Glory seems a bit fake."

The best original intention: "If you want to buy it, UP host, please get on the small yellow car."

Sky Blue Snowball: "Little yellow car, little yellow car."

In the comment section of the video, there were a lot of calls for "Little Yellow Car", one wave louder than the other.

Yue Wenxuan was scrolling through the comments section while sighing into his phone: "I don't have a shared bike for this thing, so it's no use looking for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a WeChat message popped up. It was from the owner of Qiuzhi Shenguang Sculpture Co., Ltd.: "Mr. Yue, are you asleep?"

Yue Wenxuan: "It's only a few minutes past 12 o'clock. How can a normal person sleep at this time?"

Boss: "Apologies to everyone who went to bed before midnight! Ahem, just kidding, Mr. Yue, I just saw your video, and your character design for Hou Yi is truly astonishing. This is the most Hou Yi-esque design I've ever seen. Other art designs for Hou Yi are simply unbearable compared to yours."

Yue Wenxuan: "Thank you so much."

Boss: "Um... I'm just asking, can you authorize me to design the image of Hou Yi?"

Yue Wenxuan: “Ah?”

The boss said, "You've seen the comments too, right? So many people want to buy it! How can we let them down? Give me the design for Hou Yi's image, and I'll immediately arrange for production overnight. Let's get the little yellow bike out as quickly as possible, and we'll all get rich together. Isn't that wonderful?"

Yue Wenxuan: "How do you grant authorization? I've never done this before."

Boss: "I'm planning to make a 37cm, high-definition version of this Hou Yi figure, with lifelike wrinkles on the clothes. It's a high-end product! The price is 588! Your licensing fee will be paid to you in the form of a commission, 30 yuan for each figure sold. You can also use the shared cart in your video to sell it, and you will also get a share of the commission from the shared cart sales. Adding the two together, you can get a commission of over 30 yuan for each figure sold. Of course, I will also sell it through other channels, so you will only get the yuan licensing fee and no commission from the shared cart."

Yue Wenxuan: "Okay! Deal! Hand me the contract."

The two of them quickly signed the contract using "electronic signature" and the boss arranged to go overnight.

The small company's efficiency was truly impressive. Within days, a sample of the high-precision 37cm Hou Yi figurine was off the production line, and the boss even sent one to Yue Wenxuan via expedited delivery. Yue Wenxuan took possession of the figurine and examined it carefully. He felt that the price of 588 yuan was a good deal, considering its size, the quality of the materials, and the intricate carving. Even the wrinkles on Hou Yi's fur skirt were realistically reproduced, ensuring he wouldn't betray his fans. Only then did he put the figurine up for sale.

"Plastic World and Qiuzhishenguang Sculpture Co., Ltd. jointly launched this official authentic 37cm high-precision figure of the wild Hou Yi."

Once it’s put up for sale, it sells out immediately!

All the employees of Qiuzhi Shenguan Sculpture Company worked overtime to produce, pack and ship the goods, but they could not keep up with the rush of orders.
-
February, the second year of Jianyan (1128 AD)!
A ship docked at the beach closest to Dongmiaozi Village. A middle-aged man jumped off the ship. He was wearing merchant clothes and looked decent, but the skin exposed from his sleeves was a shiny black color tanned by the sun. The scabbard hidden under his merchant robe also slightly lifted the hem of his clothes.

Yue Wenxuan, Gong Erniang, and Qian Zhuoqun, along with a large salt transport team, had been waiting at the beach for a long time.

Yue Wenxuan acted as if he was there to watch the fun.

Madam Gong Er stepped forward quickly, clasped her fists, and performed a martial arts etiquette: "Mr. Gao, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The merchant's name was Gao Jin. When he saw Madam Gong Er appear and speak, he was visibly stunned. He returned the greeting and asked, "Where is Mr. Wang?"

Madam Gong Er showed a strange smile on her face: "Since Mr. Wang can't come, I will be the one to provide sea salt for Mr. Gao from now on. I am the second daughter of Gong Yi, the leader of the Jimo rebel army. My brothers all call me Madam Gong Er."

Gao Jin's eyes swept over Madam Gong Er and her group, and soon locked onto the private salt dealer standing not far behind Madam Gong Er. He knew this man, he was a subordinate of Mr. Wang, and he had met him many times before when he came to buy salt. Now he saw him standing timidly not far behind Madam Gong Er, looking like a mouse caught by a cat.

Gao Jin understood immediately!
"Madam Gong Er is quite resourceful," Gao Jin said. "Master Wang is considered quite powerful among my partners. I never thought he would fall into your hands."

Madam Gong Er smiled and didn't explain much.

Gao Jin: "What's the difference between you and Mr. Wang's rules?"

Madam Gong Er: "No difference, it's still the same deal, 12 wen per jin."

Gao Jin smiled: "Okay!"

When doing business, one would like to have a stable supply of goods without any unexpected problems. Only by forming a fixed process can one make big money. If the price of the goods is unstable, rising and falling from time to time, it will be difficult for him as a shipper to do business.

"Since the rules remain unchanged, let's cooperate happily." Gao Jin waved his hand and said to the sailors on the ship, "Come down and move the goods."

A group of tanned sailors jumped off the boat, each one a sturdy and skilled fighter. They carried the bags of salt back to the boat, not even weighing them. They simply gave Gao Jin a number: "This bag weighs a hundred pounds."

"This bag of mine weighs 90 kilograms."

After reporting the number, we got on the boat without any delay.

Gao Jin silently calculated the total amount...

At this moment, Yue Wenxuan suddenly said, "Mr. Gao, how much can you eat at most?"
