Chapter 288: Exactly the same

Du Mingwei didn't know what happened to Du Mingyue, and after hanging up the phone, he drove back to Zijin Garden in a car.

As soon as she entered the house, Du Mingyue walked out of the study, holding the book of the Magic Princess in her hand, and before Du Mingwei could speak, she handed the book to Du Mingwei, "Brother, take a look and find one!"

Du Mingwei glanced at it and asked curiously, "Isn't this your book?"

Du Mingyue said insistently: "Brother, you can take a look first." ”

Du Mingwei saw that Du Mingyue's attitude was strong, and Du Mingwei had no choice but to agree: "Okay." ”

He took the book. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, he began to flip through Du Mingyue's Magic Princess, and when he turned to the first page, the expression on his face was very flat. But when he turned to the second page, the expression on his face obviously changed dramatically.

Du Mingyue then asked, "Brother, did you find anything wrong?"

Du Mingwei closed the book and looked left and right. I found that there was something wrong with this book, and nodded: "It's a little wrong, why is the paper of this book so inferior?"

Du Mingyue explained: "Brother, this book is not printed by a publishing house, I have studied it for a long time and found that this book is printed according to the book of the publishing house. ”

Hearing Du Mingyue say this, Du Mingwei also discovered this problem, and immediately came up with a word - piracy!

Du Mingwei didn't expect that the pirated version of the magic princess would come out as soon as it was listed, and it was exactly the same as the book printed by the publishing house, but in many ways, it could be seen at a glance that this was pirated.

Thinking of this, Du Mingwei shifted his gaze to Du Mingyue again, and asked, "Mingyue, where did you get this book?"

"I bought it at a roadside stall near the school, and I was curious about how the roadside stall also had my book, so I bought a copy, the price is very cheap, the bookstore sells it for 29.8 yuan, and the roadside stall sells it for 15 yuan, which is almost half the cheaper!" Du Mingyue recounted the process of buying the book.

Du Mingwei pondered for a while, and felt that it was necessary to take care of this matter, after all, it was Du Mingyue's book, and if piracy was rampant, it would affect his plan in the future.

Thinking of this, Du Mingwei suddenly stood up from the sofa and took the initiative to say, "Mingyue, let's go, let's take a look, go to the roadside stall where you bought books before." ”

"Well, you wait for me, I'll go change my clothes. Du Mingyue directly agreed.

Du Mingwei waited in the living room for a while, and Du Mingyue changed out of his student clothes. There are many inconveniences in putting on a student outfit.

In this way, the two left home together, and Du Mingwei drove Du Mingyue to No. 4 Middle School in a car and parked the car nearby.

Du Mingwei looked around, then turned his head and asked Du Mingyue: "Mingyue, where is the roadside stall you are talking about?"

"The intersection over there. Du Mingyue raised her finger and said.

Du Mingwei looked at the place where Du Mingyue pointed at the roadside stall, which seemed to be the alley next to the school gate, and many students had to cross the road from that location after school, because there was a traffic light, which was convenient for students to cross the road safely.

Since then, the flow of people at the entrance of the alley has increased dramatically, and many students will cast their eyes on this roadside stall while waiting for the traffic light, so as to increase sales, and that corner is very good.

Under the leadership of Du Mingyue. They walked past the school gate of No. 4 Middle School, and at a glance they saw a roadside stall at the entrance of the alley, with a lot of magazines on the stalls, but the books of the magic princess were particularly conspicuous. Because the boss put it in the most conspicuous place.

Du Mingwei walked over and saw that there were a lot of books on the stall, and the boss had to smoke a cigarette, and when he saw Du Mingwei, they stepped forward. He took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to buy a book?" The magic princess is in stock, and the book city sells it for 3 yuan, and I only need 15 yuan. ”

Du Mingwei picked up a magical princess and looked at it, it was indeed exactly the same as the book Du Mingyue bought.

Du Mingwei asked, "Boss." Why is this book so cheap? only fifteen dollars?"

The boss, a middle-aged man with a black bag hanging around his waist, smoked a cigarette and replied, "We have a special channel." So the price is cheaper, and the content in the book is exactly the same. ”

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Du Mingwei nodded thoughtfully and asked bluntly, "You guys are pirated books, right?"

The middle-aged man didn't admit it at all. denied it: "Little brother, how can our book be pirated, it is really an internal channel, do you want it?"

Du Mingwei shook his head and said, "Forget it." I'm going to buy the original copy anyway!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was obviously displeased, and said with a straight face: "Then you go buy the genuine version!"

Du Mingwei and Du Mingyue had no choice but to leave. While saying to Du Mingyue: "Mingyue, this matter! It's best to contact the publishing house and let them deal with it." ”

"Okay, I'll take the evidence now. Du Mingyue nodded in response. and took out his mobile phone and secretly took a picture of the middle-aged man's stall.

In this way, the two continued to walk forward, and when they passed the zebra crossing of the traffic light, Du Mingwei was surprised to find that another girl was holding a magic princess in her hand, exactly the same as the magic princess in the stall.

In this way, there are still many purchases of pirated books. The main thing is that it's cheap.

At present, relying on the popularity of the magic princess, even piracy can make a lot of money, this is a story that Du Mingyue worked hard to write, and it cannot be used as a means for others to make illegal profits.

They passed by another roadside stall. Du Mingwei was surprised to find that there were also pirated books of the magic princess in another stall.

Du Mingwei and Du Mingyue wandered around and found that pirated books really popped up overnight. It is also openly sold on bookstalls, so blatant.

Du Mingyue also reported this problem to the publishing house in time, and after they received the news, they also planned to take measures.

Until the next day. Du Mingwei and the others found a strange phenomenon again, since they finished calling yesterday, the roadside stall near No. 4 Middle School suddenly lost the magic princess, which made Du Mingyue and them feel weird.

Du Mingyue also specially asked Li Fen to ask the owner of the roadside stall, and the middle-aged man replied like this: "Do you really want to buy this book?"

Li Fen said affirmatively: "Yes." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "That's it! You can buy it again in two days, it's out of stock in the past two days." ”

"Didn't you sell it yesterday?" asked Li Fen rhetorically.

"Sold out!" the middle-aged man flickered.

Li Fen knew that the middle-aged man was lying, so she had to leave the roadside stall and tell Du Mingwei and them what had just happened.

After Du Mingwei knew about this, he went to other roadside stalls and found that there were no magic princesses on the roadside stalls, and they seemed to be put away.

Li Fen also went to inquire. The result is the same, it is out of stock in these two days, and it will take a few days.

In this way, these people should have received some kind of wind. Otherwise, I wouldn't hide the pirated books of the magic princess, and I should be in the limelight.

After more than an hour, they browsed the surrounding roadside stalls and found that the book Magic Princess was gone.

"They should have received some kind of news!" Du Mingwei said affirmatively.

"Who told them?" Du Mingyue asked curiously.

Li Fen interjected: "Mingyue, didn't you call the publishing house? It should be that only the publishing house knows about this? How did the others know?"

These words reminded Du Mingwei, and he hurriedly asked, "You mean, there is a problem with the publishing house?"

Li Fen analyzed seriously: "Viagra, think about it! You only called the publishing house, how did these roadside stall people know?"

"Makes sense!" Du Mingwei agreed with Li Fen's idea.

"Is this related to the people from the publishing house?" Du Mingyue felt a little incredible.

"Maybe it's so popular, everyone wants to make money! Think about it! The bookstores are sold out, and your readers are asking about the book everywhere! Even the people in our class are asking about your book. Li Fen understands this truth, it seems that the magic princess has made many people see business opportunities.

Du Mingwei reacted immediately, fortunately he didn't sign the second part of the magic princess to the publishing house, otherwise it would be over.

Just thinking of this, Du Mingyue suddenly fell on Du Mingwei's body, and asked blankly, "Brother, what should we do next?"

Du Mingwei thought for a while before he said: "They definitely won't sell this book in the next two days, and we don't have to call the publishing house, we can take the time to come here and keep an eye to see who sent the books here, and we have to investigate where these books are printed." ”

The ghost blows the lamp
