Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 2206: I’m Not Interested In Money

The lunch service ended and the satiated customers left happily. Many of them were in a good mood, so they bought a picture book as they left.

The rum that was relaunched, sold over 200 bottles in that afternoon, while Annie’s picture books sold over 600 copies!

Molly and Eve looked at the gold and silver coins that were about to spill out of the big money box with a shocked expression.

They had never expected that the box of picture books that they delivered could turn into such a big box of money.

“Molly, Eve, thank you for your hard work. ‘Search newn0vel,0rg on google’ Please go back for a rest and come back at 4 p.m to sell the remaining 400 copies. Then, your work for today would be considered done.” Mag sent the two of them off with a smile.

He had earned 60,000. This business was not bad.

Mag decided to give 50% of the profit from the money they earned from selling the picture books to Annie and let her decide how to use it herself.

As for the remaining 50%, Mag decided to use it to invest in the entire comic industry chain.

Since even a gourmet magazine could create a sale of 1,000,000 copper coins, this meant the readers’ market was actually very big.

The fusion on the Norland Continent was a trend and something that Mag would do his best to promote next.

A work that was going to be a bestseller throughout the Norland Continent would definitely appear in the future and it could be a novel or a comic.

Of course, printing issues had to be resolved if comics were to be popularized.

With the existence of a super printing machine, it wasn’t difficult to make a simple one. Mag already had some ideas.

Garlan and Mylo, who were waiting at the door, approached him with a smile. “Mr. Mag.”

“Come on in.” Mag invited them into the restaurant smilingly.

After brewing a pot of tea, Mag sat opposite them and leaned on the back of the chair comfortably.

“Boss Mag, you have really made us wait by not opening for one month,” Garlan said with a mild aggrievement.

They had been waiting for Mamy Restaurant to open for the past month to no avail. They didn’t even work as hard as when they were pursuing maidens.

“I had to go out to find inspiration. There’s simply no other way,” Mag replied smilingly without any guilt.

After all, he had gone away to do proper work. They had to thank those warriors,who sacrificed their lives at the frontline for them, because that was the only way they were able to drink afternoon tea so leisurely now.

“I missed the soup dumplings in the morning, but this shaved noodles is indeed exceptionally delicious, and its manufacturing process is quite amazing too. Your recent trip for inspiration has indeed created a perfect noodle dish,” Mylo said with an impressed look. He didn’t hide his admiration for Mag in his words and expression.

“There’s two more dishes coming.” Mag corrected.

Mylo was slightly taken aback before he smiled and said, “Seems like I have to wake up early tomorrow.”

Actually, Mag still had Sichuan spicy wontons in red oil and hot noodles with sesame paste to release, but he couldn’t spoil his customers too soon, so he would release them two days later.

After all, he would be taking a break tomorrow. To prevent him from getting beaten up, it would be perfect to release two new products when he reopened for business two days later.

“Mr. Mag may not know about it, but the previous edition of our ‘Perfect Food’ had sold over 1,000,000 copies. It broke the magazine’s sales record and was the edition that you’ve released your column in,” Garlan said to Mag. He was unable to conceal his excitement.

As a veteran editor, he knew very well what an accomplishment such a sale was.

“So, are you guys going to give me more money for that column piece?” Mag asked with a smile.

“Erm…”

Garlan was at a loss for words.

The core reason why this edition of ‘Perfect Food’ was popular was because of Mag’s interview and the eggplant with garlic sauce tutorial that he personally wrote.

It could be said that Mag was the reason why this ‘Perfect Food’ edition was hugely popular.

There was a rule in the publishing world: no matter how hugely popular your article was, the royalty was agreed upon beforehand and wouldn’t change at all.

However, it meant that your next article could receive a higher price if the article you wrote previously became hugely popular.

“This… I’ll need to discuss it with my boss. He still hasn’t had the chance to discuss this matter with me yet…” Garlan replied cautiously. Although it was the rule, Mag was the most popular guy in the culinary world now and the rules could be changed!

“It’s fine. I’m just joking.” Mag laughed.

Their editorial agency could at most earn a profit of a few million with the 1,000,000 copies sales. Even giving him an extra few hundreds of thousands, it still wasn’t comparable to the sales of the picture books that the two maidens sold in one afternoon.

However, the hundreds of thousands of fans that ‘Perfect Food’ brought him was his biggest reward.

Garlan smiled along with Mag, but he didn’t take Mag’s words to be a joke. He was prepared to discuss the issue of royalty with his boss when he got back.

Garlan sincerely said to Mag, “We came today mainly to discuss the issue of future collaborations with Mr. Mag. We hope to sign an exclusive column with you. We’ll pay you a handsome royalty fee if you publish an exclusive column with ‘Perfect Food’.”

Mag equals sales!

This was already a consensus in the gourmet magazine circle.

Within one short month, all the main magazines had released culinary review articles about Mamy Restaurant. Most of them were food reviews.

This shameless behavior of jumping onto the bandwagon allowed all the magazines to achieve their record sales.

However, compared to the 1,000,000 sales of ‘Perfect Food’, which had Mag’s exclusive eggplant with garlic sauce tutorial, they were still a level below them.

Just because of that, ‘Perfect Food’ knew the importance of getting rights to Mag’s exclusive very well.

As long as they could get Mag’s exclusive column, ‘Perfect Food’ would be undefeatable in the culinary magazine world. No one would ever stand in their way again.

‘Perfect Food’ had already prepared a lot of negotiation chips for this, and with their previous collaboration as a base, Garlan felt rather confident on this trip.

“I’m sorry, but I won’t sign an exclusive deal with any gourmet magazines.” Mag shook his head to decline the offer.

Garlan and Mylo were both taken aback and there was a hint of panic on their faces.

“Mr. Mag, your talent is astonishing and we at ‘Perfect Food’ treasure the chance to work with you. We hope to work together with you to create greater results. We’ll build a series of magazines around you and let more people see the story behind the food,” Garlan sincerely said to Mag, “If you’re concerned about the royalties, I can promise you on behalf of ‘Perfect Food’ that our price will be the highest and the best in the industry.”

“You’re mistaken. I’m not interested in money.” Mag picked up the tea to have a sip before calmly saying, “I just want to let more people appreciate different food.”

“Then, the collaboration style that you are expecting is?” Garlan’s eyelids twitched frantically. What Mag said sounded ridiculous.

“I did receive many invitations for collaboration recently. Their offers were not bad, but I won’t sign an exclusive deal with any magazine press. Instead, I intend to choose 10 magazine presses to be my collaborative partners to release my gourmet column simultaneously.” Mag continued on, “‘Perfect Food’ will be among one of these 10 magazine presses.”

“This…”

Garlan had a complex expression. He didn’t know if he should feel happy or sad.

He came with a mission this time. He would be torn apart by the boss if he failed to sign an exclusive deal with Mag.

However, Mr. Mag wasn’t someone who would be moved by a little royalty. Never mind if he cared about money or not, it was a fact that he was already very rich.
