Chapter 271: Not an honest man
Fan Hongdao was a little unhappy, as for the reason for the unhappiness, it was not that he had any opinion on the character of the horse outside-in fact, the person outside the horse crew could still be social, but he was unhappy with his passive situation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
can only watch others take the works they have worked so hard to "carry" to make money, and they have to shout hello, which always makes Fan Hongdao have a sense of being sold and helping people to make money. And then when you don't even talk about the appearance fee, what kind of "book signing" is arranged, and you have to express your gratitude?
The cooperation between the two sides can't let Ma Chaofeng take advantage of all the advantages! This is really too passive, if you don't do something, Fan Hongdao feels that he can't think well!
"Hehehehehe. Fan Hongdao laughed a few times, suddenly pointed to the poetry banknotes, and seemed to say to Ma Chaofeng in a very casual tone: "I don't know where the horses were collected from?"
Ma Chaofeng replied in a way that avoided the truth: "Naturally, it was a multi-faceted fundraiser to be assembled. β
Hearing this answer, Fan Hongdao was even more sure that Ma Chaofeng was indeed a businessman.
If Ma Chaofeng really wanted to collect his own poems, wouldn't it be more convenient to contact him directly? With the relationship between Wang Chuancai and Wang Zhaofeng's shopkeeper, it is impossible for Ma Chaofeng not to be able to contact him.
However, Ma Chaofeng would rather go to other sources to collect money from other channels than contact him directly, which can only show one thing, he intended to do so! So why did Ma Chaofeng do this? The only possible answer is that Ma Chaofeng didn't want to spend more money!
Think about it from the perspective of human sophistication, if Ma Chaofeng directly contacted himself, the original author, he would be embarrassed not to give him the money to polish the pen? If he collected works from other channels, the cost would definitely be much smaller, or even almost zero.
As the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and it is not an exaggeration for businessmen like Ma Chaofeng to be a little cautious and calculating, and Fan Hongdao doesn't necessarily care about this "remuneration". But what the proud Fan Hongdao can't bear is that others really treat themselves as innocent, naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve honest people who don't understand the world.
If Ma Chaofeng has the intention of "bullying honest people", he will inevitably make all kinds of small calculations in the future. So Fan Hongdao thought, how to give Ma Chaofeng a small warning, a little ugly words in front of me.
After making up his mind, Fan Hongdao said, "It's really a coincidence, a few days ago, a bookseller from the Drum Tower came to me and said that he wanted to publish an anthology of poems. I'm still hesitating, I don't want to have the book printed out here outside the horse, it's really a noble soldier. β
Ma Chaofeng didn't care, but when Fan Hongdao borrowed someone else to raise his worth, he followed Fan Hongdao's words and said: "Where is it, selling fresh things, how to make money if you are not happy?"
The poems are less textual, and the engraving and proofreading are quicker, unlike the long words or subsets of the scriptures. Ma Chaofeng believes that as long as Fan Hongdao cooperates with others, it won't be long before a new collection of poems will be printed, but so what?
He had already printed Fan Hongdao's poetry collection, which was the first in the capital as far as he knew, and he was going to put out all the books in the next ten days, so the quick money was earned.
As for whether Fan Hongdao really cooperates with others, Ma Chaofeng really doesn't care, and he can't ask for anything, he is very calculating in his heart.
Others also print Fan Hongdao's poetry collections, as early as he expected, he couldn't stop others from collecting Fan Hongdao's poems, but as long as he was slower than him, it would not affect him to make quick money. Even if it's a few days away, it's enough to make yourself eat a lot more.
Fan Hongdao sighed and said: "Originally, I have been thinking about the bookseller over there, but since I have a speculative discussion with Ma Yuanwai today, out of the righteousness of my friends, I can't agree to that side, so as not to spoil Ma Yuanwai's business." β
Ma Chaofeng liked to hear such words, and laughed and said: "Yes, yes, how can there be a reason to help outsiders steal a friend's business! Mr. Fan is really righteous!"
Fan Hongdao, who was praised as "Gao Yi", sighed again: "The poem banknotes printed by Ma Yuan are generally good, but some of them are missing, and it is inevitable that there is a regret that the pearl is missing." β
Ma Chaofeng asked suspiciously: "This should be the most complete in the near future, I don't know what is missing?"
Fan Hongdao showed a nostalgic look, "In the second half of last year, I went to Hedong to assist in patrolling the salt imperial Shi Gao Inspectorate, during which I did some trivial things, and I also wrote some poems in my spare time, but unfortunately they were not included in this poem. β
The shopkeeper on the other side heard this: "What is special about your writings in Hedong?
Fan Hongdao replied: "In those poems, there are feelings and experiences before and after presiding over the reform of the salt law and arguing with the old head assistant Zhang Siwei. β
Ma Chaofeng immediately realized very professionally that this was a very exciting content!
There is such a gimmick as Fan Hongdao scolding Zhang Siwei to death, and it is a poem that has not been circulated in the capital, and the topic is full and the freshness is high, which is definitely very beneficial to the sales of the poetry collection! It may even be a decisive push, and it is worth re-engrave the existing layout and reclaim the books that have already been printed!
"I've been thinking about finding an opportunity to publish those poems in Hedong. Fan Hongdao seemed to know nothing, and said to himself: "It's a pity that Ma Yuanwai has already printed the poems, and it will be troublesome to reprint them, so I'll find someone else to print a new collection of poems." β
As mentioned earlier, the poetry collection was printed very quickly. Ma Chaofeng can imagine that if a new collection of poems goes on the market not long after, with more complete content than the poems he printed, there are new works that have not been released publicly, and they are even more gimmicky works, what a big impact it will have on the sales of his published poems.
Thinking of this, Ma Chaofeng couldn't sit still, and immediately answered: "Why should Mr. Fan be willing to go far, if you want to add something to the poetry collection, reprint it in the next place, it's not troublesome!"
Fan Hongdao said helplessly: "Of course I would prefer to cooperate with Ma Yuanwai, but the booksellers over there in the Drum Tower are also very sincere, and even have to pay money to buy them, so I have to think of a reasonable excuse to refuse them." β
Ma Chaofeng immediately took the case and said: "I am also willing to take out money to buy the poems written by Mr. Fan in Hedong! Mr. Fan told them that good goods are not sold by two families, and they should be rejected." β
The shrewd Ma Chaofeng calculated very clearly, Fan Hongdao's poems in Hedong probably won't be too much, even if he pays to buy them, it won't cost much, but he can grasp the exclusive gimmick, which should be the most cost-effective choice at present.
Fan Hongdao shook his head, "Ma Yuan doesn't know that it's not buying the poems I wrote in Hedong, but buying all the poems I've written since last year. Do you want to do the same for the horsemen?"
Ma Chao Fengdeng was stunned, this opening is a bit big, beyond his previous calculations, originally the bottom line in his heart is to use Fan Hongdao's poems for free!
The shopkeeper Wang smiled bitterly again and again, Fan Hongdao is worthy of Fan Hongdao, Ma Chaofeng wants to use that little calculation to take advantage of Fan Hongdao, it is simply a grasshopper shaking the tree.
