Chapter 14, Good News and Bad News
Soon, the Guxiang Building was crowded with people and bustling.
The price of a gold coin was set by Xue Jian after careful consideration.
According to the market, the prices of the exercises in major bookstores are generally higher, and the minimum is five gold coins, which ordinary people can't afford to buy at all.
And a gold coin is naturally nothing for a large family, and those ordinary people can also make it up.
The most important thing is that this exercise has the best effect on ordinary people, strengthening the body, and it can also make some people who can't cultivate become martial arts cultivators.
This is also the attraction of this exercise, and the customers he is aimed at are mainly ordinary people, not aristocratic children.
In these seven days of preparation, Xue Jian had already printed and distributed thousands of copies of the exercises, which was fully capable of supplying the needs of so many people.
It lasted from noon to evening, and there was a long queue outside the Guxiang Building.
After the people who bought the exercise looked through it, they were all amazed at the peculiarity of this exercise, and soon the whole city was sensational.
The major families, shops, and ordinary families all knew that Gu Xianglou was selling a peerless technique that could make ordinary people become martial arts cultivators.
As a result, more and more people gathered at the gate of Guxianglou, and they all wanted to buy a copy and go back to see it.
Chu family.
Chu Shan walked quickly into the hall of the front yard with a happy face, and before he stepped into the hall, he spoke excitedly.
"Good news, good news, good news!"
At this moment, Chu Donghe, his wife, and many other Chu family members were having dinner in the hall.
Hearing Chu Shan's excited words, they all put down the dishes and chopsticks one by one and looked up.
These days, because of the Xu family's targeting, more and more shops have cut off contact with the Chu family, so much so that Chu Donghe has heard bad news recently.
This Chu Shan said so excitedly that there was good news, so he immediately stood up and asked expectantly.
"Eighth brother, what is the good news that makes you happy like this?"
Chu Shan entered the Chu family and married the eighth sister of Chu Donghe, so he called Chu Shan the eighth brother, as if he had treated him as a brother of the Chu family.
Chu Shan's strength is not bad, and he rushed back from Shangwu Street all the way, and his atmosphere was not breathing, but his face was red from excitement.
He said.
"The new aunt took out a book of exercises and sold them in Guxianglou, and now more than 400 copies have been sold, and there are still many people queuing up at the door to buy that exercise. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, including Chu Donghe, all of them widened their eyes and looked at Chu Shan in disbelief.
As we all know, because the price of exercises and martial arts is too high, and what can be sold is not looked down upon by the family, which is really chicken, so the sales have been very poor.
For example, Gu Xianglou can sell a few copies a month, even if it is good, how can it be said that more than 400 copies are sold in one day, and there are still people scrambling to line up to buy them.
Even if there are so many fools, not so many people can afford this money.
Therefore, none of the people present believed Chu Shan's words.
Chu Donghe even opened his mouth to question.
"Eighth brother, Hugh has to talk nonsense, this exercise is not a cabbage in the vegetable market, how can it be ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, another steward of the Lord rushed in and spoke.
"The head of the house, there are a few shopkeepers outside the house who said that they want to visit. ”
Chu Donghe frowned, and he didn't feel a little headache, could it be that he was coming to break off the cooperative relationship with the Chu family again.
"What are they doing here?"
The butler said with a puzzled expression.
"They said they were here to talk about cooperation, and they all carried big gifts in their hands, the head of the family, do you want them to come in?"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Donghe and the others all looked at each other.
Talking about cooperation?
What kind of fuss is this?
Chu Donghe thought for a moment and said.
"Let them in. ”
Soon, the butler led five richly dressed middle-aged men in.
These people were all carrying gift boxes in their hands, and they all had almost flattering smiles on their faces, and as soon as they walked into the hall, they took the initiative to compliment, which made Chu Donghe even more confused.
And when they explained their intentions, Chu Donghe and the other Chu family members were dumbfounded on the spot.
They really came to talk about cooperation, and they were to establish a cooperative relationship with Gu Xianglou, planning to import a batch of peerless exercises from the Chu family and sell them to other places.
Two of these five people broke off their cooperative relationship with the Chu family a few days ago, and it was only a few days before they actually came to the door again and said that they wanted to cooperate again.
And the posture was very low, apologizing and crying, and even Chu Donghe felt that if the two of them knelt down to apologize, they would not hesitate.
This completely made the Chu family even more confused.
"This ...... Could it be that Xue Jian made this all out of that waste?"
One of Chu Donghe's clan brothers spoke blankly.
The others didn't want to believe it.
"How is this possible? Just rely on his little ability? It's okay to run an old rice shop, what does he know about the big family industry like Gu Xianglou. ”
At this time, one of the shopkeepers spoke.
"Hey, you can't say that, you, the new aunt of the Chu family, are really amazing, you are simply a business genius. ”
The other four shopkeepers also gave a thumbs up in agreement.
This scene completely stunned Chu Donghe.
He sat on the chair with a blank expression, only to feel the hot pain on both cheeks.
The shopkeeper's words were like a heavy slap in the face.
What he thinks is a waste, in the eyes of outsiders, is actually a business genius, and he has single-handedly reversed the Chu family's predicament.
The shopkeeper thought that he was not touting enough, so he continued.
"Speaking of the new aunt of the Chu family, it is really powerful, not only a business genius, but also a miracle in the history of martial arts. 、
His exercises can actually allow ordinary people to become martial cultivators, and he only cultivated for ten days, and he reached the triple level of quenching, and his strength was superb, and even Xu Ang, who had a sevenfold quenching body, was not his opponent. ”
The other shopkeeper continued to tout.
"Yes, yes, this peerless exercise is worthy of its name, the Chu family will take it out and sell it, it is simply for the benefit of the world, the public is selfless, and this matter will be famous for eternity." ”
This flattering speech slapped Chu Donghe's face again, and at the same time brought him back to his senses.
Peerless exercises?
The key to everything seems to be because of the exercises that Xue Jian sold.
During this period, several shopkeepers came to visit, and they were all led in by the housekeeper.
Chu Donghe also temporarily suppressed the shock in his heart, and fought with these shopkeepers haha.
Until he knows the specifics, he won't easily establish a partnership with any one shop.
At this moment, the housekeeper rushed in with an excited expression, he looked at a room of outsiders, did not speak, but leaned into Chu Donghe's ear and whispered.
"The head of the house, two people came outside and said they wanted to visit, and they claimed to be from the Ringing Horse Chamber of Commerce and the Navigation Chamber of Commerce. ”
Hearing this, Chu Donghe's heart was shocked.
Xiangma Chamber of Commerce, this is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the entire Nanyang Continent, with influence all over the continent and a wide range of business and trade contacts.
It can be said that as long as the relationship with this big chamber of commerce is established, the prosperity of the family is just around the corner.
And the trade power of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce is even more than that of the Xiangma Chamber of Commerce.
The difference is that the seafaring guilds are focused on maritime trade, so they are mostly connected to other continents.
One is the leader of land trade, the other is the overlord of sea trade, why are these two companies coming together?
Could it be that you also want to cooperate with the Chu family?
Chu Donghe's heart suddenly became excited, and he got up and spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Chu still has to think about this matter for a while, so let's do it today, and after thinking about it clearly, Chu will definitely come to visit with gifts. ”
As soon as these words came out, the big guys also knew what they meant, so they got up and said goodbye together.
When the others were finished, Chu Donghe personally went to the gate of the mansion and invited the two people from the Chamber of Commerce in.
At the same time, the Xu family was almost in chaos, but the bad news continued.
First of all, Xu Ang was injured and returned, and the Xu family was all angry, but when they heard about what happened on Shangwu Street, there was a little princess from the City Lord's Mansion, and they didn't dare to bring people to make trouble.
Later, the news came back that the business of Guxianglou was booming, and the threshold was about to be broken.
The Xu family's faces were ugly and helpless.
After that, there were more than a dozen shop owners at the door of Chu's house who came to visit with gifts, and after Xu Ronghua heard about it, he directly crushed the teacup in his hand.
Just then, a servant came to report.
"Family master, the eldest young master is back. ”
Xu Ronghua got up in surprise and hurriedly rushed out, and Xu Feng also followed behind with a look of anticipation.
At the gate of Xu's house, Xu Li, who was dressed in a green shirt and a big coat, walked in, and when he saw his father and younger brother, he waved his hand.
When he returned to the hall of the Xu family, he spoke calmly.
"I already know what happened on Shangwu Street, this is the exercise, you can take a look at it first. ”
Xu Ronghua took the exercises, quickly looked through them, and had to admit in his heart that this exercise was very peculiar, and he had never seen it before.
Xu Li said at this time.
"The exercises are dead, his Chu family can sell them, how can we not sell them, it's a big deal to change the name, and the price is much cheaper than them. ”
Xu Ronghua said with hesitation on his face.
"Stealing and selling the Dharma is a shame in the business world. ”
Although there is no such thing as copyright in this world, there are unwritten rules.
If you take other people's exercises and make copies of them and sell them at a reduced price, once you are discovered, you will definitely be boycotted by all the shops.
The corners of Xu Li's mouth hooked up a sinister smile, and said lightly.
"Father rest assured, even if he takes this exercise book to copy, their Chu family ...... It shouldn't be around for long. ”
Hearing this, Xu Ronghua's heart suddenly became excited.
"Li'er, could it be that the third prince has already sent someone to prepare to destroy the Chu family?"
Xu Li said with confidence in his eyes.
"I have traveled to eight cities these days, and I have spread the news, I believe that it will not be too long before the third prince will send someone to Nanfu City, and it will definitely not involve our Xu family. ”
Xu Ronghua shouted "good", and then handed over the exercise to Xu Feng, laughing and laughing.
"That being the case, when the Chu family falls, then this exercise will be sold by our Xu family, and when the time comes, it will be said that the Chu family stole it from our Xu family, anyway, the Chu family will be gone at that time. ”
