Liu Jianping and Xu Jing were lying on the bed and chatting, chatting very happily, and they didn't get up until half past ten. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After getting dressed, Xu Jing went on the net for a while, and Liu Jianping sat next to her and chatted with her.
After eleven o'clock, Liu Jianping and Xu Jing went out, Liu Jianping rode a scooter to take Xu Jing to a restaurant more than ten miles away from the residence for lunch, the location was chosen by Xu Jing, the scale of the restaurant is very small, but very elegant, Xu Jing has come here to eat before.
After lunch, the two did not continue to leave, and continued to kiss and chat.
After chatting for a while, Xu Jing looked at her watch and said with a smile: "It's not early, let's go home." ”
"Let's go to the mall."
"Nope." Xu Jing refused, "Send me home directly, in the afternoon, you can write a novel well, and ask Qin Yali to have dinner in the evening......"
Although Liu Jianping was better and Qin Yali had dinner together, he was a little embarrassed if he stood up to Xu Jing.
"Don't think about it, I think life is pretty good right now." Xu Jingyan smiled and stood up, "You're in for a treat, I didn't bring a wallet." ”
"Okay, I'm in for a treat!"
Unknowingly, at around 7 o'clock in the morning on June 1, Children's Day, Haoshu.com quietly launched a reward system, and the website had not publicized this matter before.
After the introduction of the reward system, Liu Jianping posted an announcement on the homepage of Haoshu.com.
After the announcement, Liu Jianping used the reader account nicknamed "Liu Gongzi" to reward 10,000 book coins for many works such as "Beast Blood Boiling" and "Evil Dragon Dao", which were all set to break 1,000.
Many VIP readers of the good book network are very curious when they see that the website has launched a reward system, and many people try to reward their favorite works with a minimum amount of 100 book coins, and those signed authors who don't know what the reward is before see that some readers have rewarded their works, and many people don't look at the announcement at all, but ask about it directly in the signed author group, or ask the editor directly.
At half past eight o'clock that day, Liu Jianping had just entered his office and sat down, and before the computer was turned on, he received a call from Xuehong.
Xuehong didn't chat, and went straight to the point and asked, "Young Master Liu, what's the matter with the newly launched reward from the Good Books Network?" ”
"Create a channel for websites and authors to make money." Liu Jianping said with a smile, stretched out his hand to start the computer, "I made an announcement, there is a link on the homepage, you want to take a look." ”
"I watched." Blood Red smiled, "You came up with the reward system, right?" ”
"That's right!" Liu Jianping deliberately let out a smug smile, "Don't you admire my brother very much." ”
"What brother, I'm older than you." Blood Red smiled and said, "You gave me a lot of book coins, although I have subscribed to a lot of VIP works, there are still a lot of them that have not been used up." I see that you gave a hundred yuan to the book "Evil Dragon Dao", and I will also give you a hundred yuan. ”
"You're welcome, among the VIP works, as long as the works are set to break 1,000, they have all been rewarded. I'll give you a reward of 10,000 book coins, and you can only earn fifty, and my reader account spends book coins, and the cost is different from yours. ”
"I know what you said, and I don't want to be rude. Hehe, where are you now? ”
"When I first arrived at work and answered your phone, I was about to turn on the computer."
"I know you're busy, so I won't bother you."
"Bye-bye, we'll talk when we have time."
After ending the call, Liu Jianping logged on to QQ, looked at the messages in the group of signed authors on the Good Book Network, and saw that many authors were talking about the topic of rewarding, he glanced at it a few times, glanced at it a few times, and turned it off, he really didn't want to waste too much time in this regard.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Liu Jianping, who was busy revising in the office, heard a knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Liu Jianping raised his head and shouted at the door.
Wang Yaoshen pushed open the door and said with a smile: "Jianping, it's six o'clock, aren't you hungry?" ”
"I'm not hungry." Liu Jianping looked at the time on the computer and smiled, "It's so late, it's time to get off work, you wait a minute, I'll copy the manuscript I wrote today to the USB drive, and I'll come out immediately." ”
"Don't rush, take your time!" Wang Yaoshen smiled and turned to leave Liu Jianping's office.
A few minutes later, Liu Jianping turned off his computer and walked out of the office.
Seeing that none of the employees who came to work in the company today got off work, Liu Jianping smiled and hugged his fists and apologized: "I write novels, enter the state, and don't look at the time at all, sorry, I really don't want everyone to work overtime." After that, when everyone comes to work, they can leave at half past five in the afternoon, and if they want to have dinner together, they will call me before half past five, and I can prepare in advance. ”
Gong Zhiyang smiled and said: "Boss, we are willing to work overtime, if you think that our employees are doing a good job, then in the future, you can give us a raise, more bonuses, and stock options, and more stock options will be better." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Liu Jianping smiled and said, "If you draw cakes to satisfy your hunger, I won't say more, leave everything to time, and let time speak...... Tonight, I'm happy, I invite everyone to have a good meal, after dinner, everyone goes to karaoke, have fun, hehe, there is a big premise, you can't pour wine on me, I will drink two bottles of beer at most tonight. ”
"Two beers, that's too little, at least three!" Wang Yaoshen coaxed.
"The boss is not drunk, how can we have a good time, everyone says yes?" A man named Song Yuntai shouted with a smile.
Song Yuntai is a graduate of Jiangcheng University, graduated one year earlier than Zhu Fengnian, he was invited by Zhu Fengnian, so he resigned from his job in the magic capital, came to Jiangcheng, and joined Happy Information Technology Company.
Now, the number of salaried employees of Happy Information Technology has reached eight, these people are all old acquaintances of Zhu Fengnian, and if it were not for Zhu Fengnian's invitation and the blueprint drawn for them by Liu Jianping, they would not have been able to join this small company that has just been established.
"Yaoshen, Yuntai, I can remember you, if you don't have a good performance in the future, let alone stock option awards, year-end bonuses, you don't want to have them!" Liu Jianping deliberately pretended to have a fierce expression.
"Wouldn't it?!" Song Yuntai pretended to be both depressed and regretful, "Boss, I know it's wrong, you don't care about the villain, you just treat me as a fart and let it ......"
"Stop talking nonsense, get off work, go out for dinner." Liu Jianping interrupted with a smile.
That night, although several employees wanted to get Liu Jianping drunk, Liu Jianping drank very modestly, he said that he drank two bottles of beer, but he really only drank two bottles, one bottle at the dinner table, and one bottle in the KVT box.
Tonight, Liu Jianping paid for all the consumption, and spent more than 1,000 yuan, although he spent a lot of money, he was happy and spent it comfortably.
Back at the residence, Liu Jianping turned on the computer, logged on to the good book network, and checked the rewards of several novels with high subscriptions, such as "Boiling Beast Blood", "Shenglong Dao", "Blasphemy/Blasphemy" and "Evil Dragon Dao", excluding the amount of his reward, the authors of more than ten works can get a share of more than 100 yuan.
"The reward system has just been launched for a day, and the website can share the income of a small thousand, which is good, not bad."
Liu Jianping muttered, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Qin Yali's number.
"Happy holidays, little ones." Liu Jianping said with a smile.
Qin Yali was stunned for a moment when she heard this, thought for a while, and realized that today is June 1, which is Children's Day, and said with a grin: "Big friend, you also have a happy holiday." ”
"Everybody's happy." Liu Jianping smiled, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm reading a book in the dormitory...... What about you? ”
Liu Jianping replied with a smile: "I just came back from outside, and I invited the company's employees to dinner today, and after dinner, I went to sing." ”
"Listening to your tone, you should be in a good mood, hehe, is it because of the introduction of the reward system?"
"This is one reason," Liu Jianping said with a smile, "Tomorrow, the novel "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" will be on the market. ”
"If you go to the bookstore tomorrow, you can buy this novel?"
"What bookstore to see, it is estimated that tomorrow, this novel will appear on the shelves of several bookstores in Jiangcheng."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"By the way, I haven't asked you before, how many copies of this novel will be printed for the first time?"
"Ten thousand copies." Liu Jianping smiled, "Do you think the first printing of 10,000 copies is too much, or is it too little?" ”
"I don't know, I don't know anything about the publication of novels, hehe, I guess, those famous best-selling fiction writers must have more than 10,000 copies of the first printing, which is good for you. By the way, "The Legend of Rebirth" was published, how many copies of this novel were printed? ”
At the beginning, Jiangcheng Publishing House proposed to buy the copyright of "Legend of Rebirth" and "Do You Mind If I Play Football" at a price of 40 yuan per thousand words, Liu Jianping kept an eye on it, and proposed not to sell the copyright permanently, and there was a time limit for copyright transfer.
After the expiration of the contract, Lin Hai Tingtao was able to recover half of the copyright of the simplified Chinese physical book of the novel "Do You Mind If I Play Football", and the remaining half of the copyright was in the hands of Haoshu.com, which was dispensable for him, because this half of the copyright did not increase his income, but Liu Jianping was different, he was able to make money.
In the future, Liu Jianping will become the highest-paid writer in China, readers who have not read "Legend of Rebirth" are very willing to read this book, after the novel is reprinted, his B2C website will sell "Rebirth Novel" and other novels together, which can get good sales, although the profit is very meager, but it adds up to a lot, and it is also a lot of income.
"Five thousand copies were printed." Liu Jianping smiled heartily.
"Not much." Qin Yali smiled slightly, "Did the publishing house make money?" ”
"There is almost no money, if Motie Books publishes this book, with only this little sales, it will definitely lose money?"
"Why?" Qin Yali asked puzzled, she knew that Motie Book Company was a book company jointly founded by Liu Jianping and others.
"Motie Book Company, publishing a book, you need to spend money to buy a book number from the publishing house, and the publishing house that owns the book number is ......"
Liu Jianping explained simply, and finally said: "There are a lot of doors and doors, and I can't say a word or two, and it's difficult for a layman to understand the inside story." ”
"Are you an insider?" Qin Yali smiled.
"Half, strive to become a complete insider as soon as possible." Liu Jianping smiled.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and Liu Jianping heard Wang Yaoshen knocking on the door.
"Yao Shen has something to do with me, let's talk about it here first, and I'll call you tomorrow night."
"Okay, bye-bye!"
Liu Jianping hung up the phone, stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, saw Wang Yaoshen with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile: "Seeing that you are so happy, have you picked up a treasure?" ”
"That's right, I've found a treasure, and the reward system is a treasure!" Wang Yaoshen smiled, "The first alliance leader appeared in "Beast Blood Boiling" just now, do you know? ”
Liu Jianping said happily when he heard this: "I don't know, it's a good thing, five hundred yuan, it's in hand." ”
"It's not five hundred, even if this reader recharges the book coins and gets some discounts, it will cost at least nine hundred and fifty yuan."
Liu Jianping smiled: "I'm talking about my personal income, but Haoshu.com is not my personal." ”
"You're the majority shareholder, you own 90 percent of the shares, you don't have to be so clear."
"Public publicity, private is private." Liu Jianping smiled and said, "You drank a lot of wine today, and it's not early, so go to bed early." ”
"I'm getting ready to take a shower, and I'm going to sleep after taking a shower." Wang Yaoshen yawned as he spoke, and said with a smile, "I won't talk to you anymore, you can be busy." ”
On June 2nd, the second day after the launch of the reward system on the Good Book Network, the total reward of three unsigned works reached 20,000 book coins, according to the new self-service signing system launched by the Good Book Network, the authors of these three works have the right to request to sign a contract with the Good Book Network, in fact, these three authors are just to get the opportunity to sign a contract, do it themselves, or let friends help, through the reward, to meet the signing conditions.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Liu Jianping walked out of the single office with a water cup, and when he went to the big office to pour water, Wang Yaoshen took the initiative to tell Liu Jianping that there were three works because of the reward of 20,000 book coins, and the author asked to sign a contract with the good book network.
"Have you read those three books?" Liu Jianping asked curiously.
"I've read it, the number of words is not much, the minimum is more than 20,000 words, the most is 50,000 words, I feel that the writing is okay, these three books, the number of updated words is more than 80,000, basically I will sign a contract with them, I didn't expect that they chose to reward their works in order to sign a contract as soon as possible." Wang Yaoshen said with a smile.
"Don't say that, it's not necessarily all rewarded by themselves, it may be rewarded by readers." Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Even if they reward it themselves, don't mention it when you talk to them about signing a contract." ”
"I don't have time to talk to them about these things." Wang Yaoshen smiled and said, "Just now, I have already sent them the contract to sign it." ”
Wen Mengying is the contracted editor of the Good Books Network, she is responsible for negotiating the signing of the contract with the author, last night, she had a bad stomach, although she did not go to the hospital to see a doctor, but took antidiarrheal medicine, and stayed at the residence to rest today.
Wen Mengying didn't come to work, her work couldn't stop there, Wang Yaoshen temporarily took over Wen Mengying's work.
After chatting a few words, Liu Jianping was ready to go back to the office.
"Well, the contract." Wang Yaoshen handed an EMS courier to Liu Jianping.
Liu Jianping took the courier and asked, "Who sent it?" ”
Wang Yaoshen shook his head and said, "I don't know, is there a pen name written on it." ”
Liu Jianping tore it open and looked at the sender's name and address, and he didn't know which writer the other party was.
Liu Jianping put down the teacup, tore open the seal, and pulled out the two contracts inside.
Wang Yaoshen asked: "Who?" ”
Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Skeleton elf." ”
"Oh, he, he wrote "Raptors Crossing the River", I have read it, and it is very good." Wang Yaoshen said with a smile, "I heard my sister (Wen Mengying) say that you made a decision to buy half of the copyright of this book at a price of 20 yuan per thousand words?" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Jian replied indifferently, "I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore." ”
Liu Jianping took the contract and the water glass, returned to his office, picked up the pen Xu Jing gave him, signed his name on the two contracts, and also took out the official seal of Shengfeng Information Technology Company and stamped it on the contract.
Change Authorization Level.
Liu Jianping muttered, logged in to the backstage of the good book network, modified the authorization level of the work "Raptors Across the River", and changed it to an A-level contract, after that, he sent a message to the author of the skeleton elf's text message box: "Skeleton elf, hello, the contract has been received, the authorization level has been changed, stable update, there will be a recommendation next week." ”
A few minutes later, the skeleton elf who was about to update a chapter landed in the author's background, saw Liu Jianping's message, a smile flowed on his face, and he said to himself: "Hey, I won't be able to get the money until next month, if I update it a few days earlier, I can get the money earlier." ”
Before the skeleton elf updated "Raptors Across the River", he saved some drafts, but he didn't expect that the day after it was published, Liu Jianping would talk to him about signing a contract, and he bought out half of the copyright of the work "Raptors Crossing the River", 20 yuan per thousand words, which is a fortunate thing for him who is writing a novel for the first time.
After Liu Jianping finished sending a message to the skeleton elf, he took a look at the new books that had begun to be serialized on the Good Book Network in the past few days.
After a few glances, Liu Jianping saw the collection of Ning Weihao's (pen name Ning Bailiu)'s second work "I am Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms", and he couldn't help complaining.
"I/, that's awesome!"
Liu Jianping took out his mobile phone and made a call to Ning Weihao.
Two days ago, that is, on May 31, Ning Weihao's first online novel "Dream Back to the Ninth Five" was completed, with a total word count of more than 1.03 million, including 750,000 words in VIP chapters.
After connecting the phone, Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Ah Hao, you are too good!" ”
As early as two months ago, Ning Weihao sold a mobile phone with the manuscript fee he earned from writing novels, and before that, he also sent 2,000 manuscript fees home to make his parents happy.
"What's wrong with me?" Ning Weihao was puzzled.
"The new book you wrote, I uploaded it yesterday morning, and I updated a few chapters, and the amount of collection is too scary."
"It's not much, just over 400." Ning Weihao smiled, "Compared to you, it's far behind." I remember that on the first day of uploading, "Online Game: Full-time Player" topped the list of new books by signed authors. ”
"This is different, in order to pat me on the back, the authors such as Blood Red pushed my new book."
"There are also a few signed authors who promote my new book."
"Regardless, your new book has been well received by readers. By the way, as of the end of May, how many are the average number of "Dream Back to the Ninth Five-Year Plan"? ”
"The night before yesterday (May 31), before the lights went out in the dormitory, I took a look, and it seemed that the average was a little more than 1,770."
"With last month's manuscript fee, how much can you get for the book "Dream Back to Ninety-Five"?"
"After-tax income is more than 16,000."
"You started writing this book in early December, right?"
"Yes. In November, I checked a lot of information, but I didn't write it. ”
"It's not that I didn't write, I didn't use my fingers to knock."
"That's right!" Ning Weihao smiled, "Jianping, why are you so idle today?" ”
"Do you think I'm bothering you with writing a novel?" Liu Jianping joked.
"Nope!" Ning Weihao hurriedly denied, "Don't think so, you are willing to chat with me, I am happy, I am happy to accompany you." ”
"Huh!" Li Jianping smiled, "You skipped class again today?" ”
"yes, I don't have any desire to go to class. I calculated, "Dream Back to the Ninth Five-Year Plan" was written for half a year and six months, not to mention the subscription income in the future, let's just say that the previous subscription income, on average, exceeded 2,060 per month, and the graduates of our school majoring in computer science, many people did not have such a high income when they first started. ”
"How is your subscription to this book on QD?"
Previously, Ning Weihao authorized the exclusive electronic copyright of the novel "Dream Back to Ninety-Five" to Goodbook.com, originally, his book was on the QD network shelf, and Goodbook.com could request to remove the channel fee of QD.com, and the website and the author shared the remaining half of the subscription income.
Liu Jianping remembered that Ning Weihao was his classmate, and during Ning Weihao's writing of "Dream Back to the Ninth Five", he made a guest appearance as a part-time editor of the Good Book Network, Liu Jianping and Zhu Fengnian discussed, "Dream Back to the Ninth Five" was on the QD network, excluding the 20% channel fee taken away by the QD network, and the remaining 80% of the subscription income belonged to Ning Weihao alone.
"Guess." Ning Weihao said with a smile.
"It shouldn't be good, I rarely see QD.com recommending your book."
"yes, if you don't recommend it, you don't subscribe." Ning Weihao smiled, "The night before yesterday, I logged in to the background of the QD website and took a look, and the average was more than two hundred points, hehe, it's not bad, it can increase my income by about 20%, I want to thank you for this." ”
"You're welcome." Liu Jianping smiled faintly, "I just asked you about your income, including the subscription income of QD.com?" ”
"Not included." Ning Weihao smiled, "Jianping, I'm a bit like taking a break from school now and writing novels full-time. ”
Liu Jianping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Do your parents know your thoughts?" ”
"Haven't told them yet."
Ning Weihao paused and continued, "I think so, I will take the final exam of this semester, and strive not to fail the course." During the summer vacation, I don't go back to my hometown, stay in Jiangcheng to write novels, if the subscription of the book "I am Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms" is higher than "Dream Back to the Ninth Five", next semester, I want the school to apply for a suspension, if the school does not agree, I will drop out. ”
"I feel that you have a talent for writing online novels, as for your suspension of school, I won't give you advice, I just hope you can think it through, and don't regret it in the future."
"Today, June 2, there are still three months before the start of the next semester, so long enough for me to think."
Liu Jianping joked with a smile: "Just now you said, strive not to fail the course, this semester, you often skip classes and do not fail the course, it is very difficult, right?" ”
Ning Weihao smiled and said, "It's a bit difficult, I'm going to play some small tricks." ”
Liu Jianping knew what Ning Weihao meant by "small means", he didn't pick it out, changed the topic and asked: "In the past two days, have you asked readers in the group for rewards?" ”
""Dream Back to the Ninth Five" has been completed, and "I Am Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms" has just been updated, and I am not embarrassed to ask for a reward. Hehe, I saw that the total amount of rewards for the book "Boiling Beast Blood" is very exaggerated, and many signed authors have rewarded you. ”
"I see, did you tip me?"
"I didn't give you a reward, the book coins I recharged last time were all used up, please help me put 30,000 book coins into my reader account, and the next time I see you, I will give you another 300 yuan."
"Three hundred? You don't use it all for tipping, do you? ”
"No, I'll leave some for subscription."
"I'll give you book coins, let's not talk about it yet."
"Bye-bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jianping directly injected 30,000 book coins into Ning Weihao's reader account, and then began to be busy revising the novel.
After more than two hours, Liu Jianping received a call from Gu Qingsheng.
On this day, whether Gu Qingsheng came to work in the company on this day, he and his three employees went out to run sales, and they were busy selling the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant".
"Jianping, I'll tell you good news, "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" is a hot seller."
"Hot sale?" Liu Jianping was slightly surprised, "The retail situation of the bookstore is very good? ”
"Yes, I ran a few bookstores in Jiangcheng today, and I saw that many readers came to the bookstore to buy this book, hehe, it seems that you have a lot of book fans, and Haoshu.com and Kaixin.com advertised for the publication and listing of this novel, which played a good effect."
"I hope that the 10,000 copies printed will be sold as soon as possible."
"I estimate that within a month, it will be reprinted. "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" is a good start, and I hope that the next "Zhu Xian" will be published and listed, and it will also be a hot seller! ”
"I am very optimistic about Zhu Xian, maybe within half a year, the sales of the first volume of "Zhu Xian" can exceed 200,000!" Liu Jianping said confidently.
"If there is really such a high sales volume as you said, then our Motie Book Company, as well as you and Zhu Fengnian's Good Book Network, will make a lot of money."
"Even if "Zhu Xian" is a good book, if you want to get good sales, you still need to rely on Brother Gu's ability."
"I'm definitely going to do it...... Jianping, someone called me, I hung up first. ”
"Okay, bye-bye!"
Half a month ago, Liu Jianping personally called the author of "Zhu Xian", and the two chatted for more than ten minutes, reached a verbal agreement, and then signed the contract.
Liu Jianping is a reborn person, he knows very well in his heart that after the book "Zhu Xian" is published in the mainland, it will operate properly and will definitely sell well, and he has proposed to Xiao Ding to buy out the copyright of the simplified Chinese physical book of the book "Zhu Xian", but Xiao Ding is unwilling to sell, he insists on participating in the royalty sharing, and also proposes a guaranteed print run.
After some bargaining, the following signing conditions were finally negotiated: the publication of the book "Zhu Xian" in the mainland was handed over to the Motie Book Company to operate, the author received a 3% copyright tax, a guaranteed print run of 50,000 copies, and the book was reprinted, and the copyright tax was increased to 5%.
The first volume of "Zhu Xian" operated and distributed by Motie Book Company has a total of 44 chapters, a total of 240,000 words, a price tag of 22 yuan, a guaranteed print run of 50,000 copies and a royalty of 3%, and the author can get 33,000 yuan.
Previously, Xiao Ding sold half of the copyright of "Zhu Xian" (except for the copyright of the traditional Chinese physical book) to Haoshu.com at a price of 150 yuan per thousand words, and the 240,000-word manuscript could get 36,000 yuan.
Liu Jianping had just hung up Gu Qingsheng's phone, and Wang Yaoshen came to his office.
Wang Yaoshen smiled and said: "Jianping, I saw many readers leave messages on the message board of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", saying that they want to buy this book online, asking if you can open an online store on Taobao, and some people have proposed to sell signed books. ”
"Of course you can, I had this idea before, we don't sell book coins on Taobao, we can add a product and sell my signed book."
"How much discount?"
"Readers go to bookstores to buy books, and there are usually no discounts, and I don't have my own B2C website to sell signed books...... Just give it a nine-percent discount, the list price of 22 yuan, and the price is 19. 8 yuan, buy one or two copies, you can't get free postage, buy three or more copies, you can get free. ”
"Are you going to call Gu Qingsheng and ask him to transport the books to the office?"
"Uh......" Liu Jianping thought for a while, "just ship it to the office, I can put books in this office, and if someone buys books, everyone will take some help to send them." ”
"Then you call him, I'm out."
After Wang Yaoshen left, Liu Jianping didn't call immediately, after all, Gu Qingsheng said just now that someone called him.
After more than ten minutes, Liu Jianping dialed Gu Qingsheng's phone.
"Jianping, what's the matter?" Gu Qingsheng asked with a smile.
"Brother Gu, it's like this, someone left a message on the Internet, wanting to buy the signed book of the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", I plan to sell this book on Taobao, and you ship five hundred books to the company first."
"Oh, yes!" Gu Qingsheng smiled and said, "How many books can you sign in an hour?" ”
"I haven't tried, someone helped me flip through the book, handed it over, and took it away, if I don't need to do it, I can sign a lot in an hour."
"Buy at the list price, or sell at a discount?"
"Sell at 10% off, buy one or two copies, the buyer pays the postage himself, buy three or more copies, we pay the postage."
"People who read books on the Internet, many people have experience in online shopping, and it is estimated that the online sales will not be bad, five hundred copies, will it be too little?"
"How many books do you think are appropriate?" Liu Jianping asked with a smile.
"Just a thousand."
"It's okay, can you transport it before you get off work today?"
"It depends on when you get off work, I'll try to hire a car to transport it before six o'clock, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll get off work later today."
At about eight o'clock that night, Liu Jianping knocked on Xu Jing's door.
Xu Jing opened the door, saw Liu Jianping, and smiled: "What's the matter?" ”
"Let's talk!" Liu Jianping entered the house, closed the door, hugged Xu Jing's head, and kissed her lips.
After a hot kiss, Liu Jianping smiled, changed his shoes, and said, "Tonight, I can't stay with you for long, I said come and ask you to borrow a digital camera." ”
"What are you borrowing a digital camera for?" Xu Jing asked curiously.
"I'm going to sell books online, and I'm going to buy some photos."
"Mine!" Xu Jing smiled and spread her right hand to Liu Jianping.
Liu Jianping reached out and pulled out a book from behind his waist and gently patted it on Xu Jing's hand.
"I don't value books at all." Xu Jing said angrily.
"Flip it over and take a look."
Xu Jing opened the title page and saw Liu Jianping's signature: The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and even more blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight.
"It's well written." Xu Jing smiled, "Why didn't the name of the word plate and the title of the word be written?" ”
"Do you have the name of the word plate and the title of the word?" Liu Jianping asked with a smile.
"Qingyu case, Yuan Xi, right?" Xu Jing smiled.
"That's right!" Liu Jianping gently kissed Xu Jing's cheek, "What were you doing just now?" ”
"Read novels on the Internet." Xu Jing smiled and said, "I'll go get you a digital camera." ”
"Don't worry, let me hug you."
Liu Jianping opened his arms, hugged Xu Jing's waist, and looked at the other party's eyes with affection.
The two looked at each other a few times, and a charming/charming smile appeared on Xu Jing's face, and asked, "Hungry?" ”
"Hungry!" Liu Jianping said happily, "Are you hungry too?" ”
"I'm not hungry, I see you're quite fat now, a few hungry meals are also good, it helps to lose weight." Xu Jing said with a smile.
"Am I fat?" Liu Jianping pretended to have a puzzled expression, and Liu Jianping's figure and fat were not at all.
Xu Jing pushed Liu Jianping away and said angrily: "If you can't give it to me tonight, don't tease me, get the digital camera, and you will leave." ”
Xu Jing turned around and went back to the bedroom, Liu Jianping did not go with him, but came to the living room to sit down, took a bright red peach from the glass tray on the coffee table, and knew that it was cleaned at a glance, and he asked for it directly.
Xu Jing took the digital camera, walked out of the bedroom, saw Liu Jianping eating peaches, and smiled: "You're really welcome." ”
"I just said, I'm hungry!" Liu Jianping said with a smile.
Xu Jing glanced at Liu Jianping with disgust, handed the digital camera to Liu Jianping, and said, "You go." ”
"Don't worry, sit down, let's talk."
Xu Jing sat beside Liu Jianping without hesitation, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Don't you have anything to say to your little man?"
"Huh!" Xu Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you very idle tonight?" ”
"Nope." Liu Jianping took a bite of the peach, "This peach tastes pretty good." ”
"If you like it, take it all."
"Okay, you're welcome." Liu Jianping took another bite and continued, "There are five more, one for each of them, and two more, I'll eat another one and leave one for you." ”
Xu Jing didn't answer, and instead said, "I went to the bookstore this evening." ”
Liu Jianping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Xu Jing with a smile, and said happily: "Are you going to learn about the sales of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant"?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Jing nodded with a smile, "I stayed in the bookstore for more than ten minutes and saw two people buying this book. ”
"Did you talk to the readers who bought the book?"
"Nope." Xu Jing smiled, "I originally wanted to buy a copy, but after thinking about it, I still didn't buy it, so that the bookstore wouldn't make more money for a book." ”
Liu Jianping joked: "I thought you would buy a few more copies and give them to your relatives and friends!" ”
"In what name am I sending it?"
Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Just say that your boyfriend wrote it." ”
"I'd better save some face for you, I'm afraid that your book fans will ruin your image if they know that you like a woman ten years older than you."
Liu Jianping, who had just finished eating a peach, put the peach pit on the coffee table, opened his arms, hugged Xu Jing in his arms, and said softly: "Fool, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't recognize it when I eat it dry and wipe it clean...... If you want, I'd love to have dinner and sing with your colleagues or friends. ”
"I know you're good to me, don't use it for now."
Liu Jianping let go of the hug, looked at Xu Jing with a smile, and asked, "Will you need it in the future?" ”
"When you can't cash it, I'll ask you again!" Xu Jing smiled.
"Then you won't be able to wait for this day in your life."
Liu Jianping smiled and pinched Xu Jing's chin, thinking that he was now stepping on two boats with one foot, and Xu Jing in front of him knew about it, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and changed the topic and asked, "Do you think the summer in Jiangcheng is particularly hot?" ”
"It's so hot that a lot of people can't stand it."
"In July and August, how about we take a few days to go to Spring City for a trip?"
"How did you come up with the idea of going to Spring City?"
"I just want to travel with you."
The two looked at each other for a few moments, and Xu Jing smiled: "If you want, I prefer that in winter, we will go to Sanya for a few days." ”
"It's okay, then it's decided, before the Chinese New Year, or during the Spring Festival, let's go to Sanya for a few days."
"Do you have time?" Xu Jing asked with a smile.
"Time, like ...... Women's nipples // grooves, squeezing is always there! Liu Jianping smiled evilly.
"Stream!" Xu Jing glanced at Liu Jianping with disgust, "Do you think my breasts are too small?" ”
"No, no, absolutely not!" Liu Jianping hurriedly denied it, still with a wicked smile on his face.
Xu Jing saw Liu Jianping open her claws, ready to make it bad, she hurriedly picked up the cushions on the sofa, hit Liu Jianping with a smile, and shouted: "Let you make it bad, let you make it bad......"
"Since you made me bad, don't beat me!"
Liu Jianping was really good, Xu Jing, a weak woman, was naturally not his opponent, and in the end, he succeeded in making him bad.
After a while, looking at the delicate // panting Xu Jing, Liu Jianping couldn't help it a little and wanted to come for real......
"Alright, it's time for you to go back." Xu Jing smiled, "If you don't go back, your relatives will suspect you." ”
"Then ......" Liu Jianping hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to leave work early tomorrow afternoon?" Or take a day off? ”
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'll leave work two hours early, and I'll be home at about half past three." ”
"Then I'll leave work early tomorrow!" Liu Jianping said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Jianping's smile like picking up a treasure, Xu Jing said with a smile: "You haven't played enough? ”
"I can't play enough in my life." Liu Jianping was ready to start breaking again.
Xu Jing stood up, took a few steps back, and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave work early tomorrow." ”
"Okay, okay, listen to you!" Liu Jianping stood up with a smile.
"I'll get you a bag of peaches."
"No, I'll take another one and eat it myself, and tomorrow, I'll come over and eat peaches...... Hehe, actually, your two peaches are more delicious. ”
Xu Jing glanced at Liu Jianping and didn't pay attention to him at all.
Liu Jianping held a peach in his left hand and a camera in his right hand, and before he walked out, he and Xu Jing came to kiss goodbye.

10th Rebirth 1987
Chapter 7, please respect the Jade Buddha, play walnuts, and level five thousand with a knife
Sometimes, luck comes, and you can't stop it.
Meng Songhai walked out of the hotel, and after walking a few steps, he saw a person setting up a stall on the side of the road, watching the other party take out one thing after another from the bamboo basket loaded on the back of the bicycle.
After two glances, Meng Songhai saw the object that made his eyes shine.
"Boss, can I pick up this thing and take a look?" Meng Songhai asked, pointing to a piece of jade pendant.
"Yes, you can watch it."
Meng Songhai picked up the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and asked, "How much is this thing?" ”
"Eighty."
"It's so expensive!" Meng Songhai smiled and shook his head.
"If you want, you can be cheaper, seventy."
"It's too expensive." Meng Songhai put down the jade pendant, picked up a Maitreya Buddha jade ornament next to him, looked at it for a while, and gently rubbed it with his hand, "How much is this?" ”
"Five hundred."
"It's too expensive!" Meng Songhai shook his head, "It's cheaper, fifty yuan, I want it." ”
"Fifty dollars is too little, and the cost is not enough." The stall owner smiled and shook his head, "If you sincerely want it, I will open one and sell it to you for four hundred and fifty yuan." ”
"One price, one hundred!"
"It's too low." The stall owner shook his head.
"Four hundred and five, it's too expensive, you can be cheaper."
"Four hundred and three."
"You're not much cheaper."
"Gold is priceless, jade is priceless, such a beautiful and big jade Buddha is very valuable."
"One hundred and fifteen."
"Four hundred and three yuan, the lowest price, you also let me earn some, if you are too expensive, then look at the rest."
"Two hundred, two hundred?"
"Nope." The stall owner shook his head affirmatively.
"Four hundred and three, it's too expensive, I won't bargain with you, three hundred dollars, this is the highest price I have ever paid."
The stall owner thought for a moment and said, "You add another fifty yuan, and if it doesn't work, forget it." ”
"Three hundred and five is three hundred and five."
"Three hundred and five is not expensive, I sell this jade Buddha, it is not profitable." The stall owner smiled, at this moment, he was secretly happy, this Maitreya Buddha ornament was bought by him from the countryside for thirty yuan two days ago, and now it is sold for three hundred and fifty yuan, and he made a profit of more than ten times, "You look at other things, my things here are quite good." ”
Meng Songhai took out three 100 yuan and 1 50 yuan banknote and handed them to the stall owner.
Just now, when Meng Songhai saw the brand-new 80 version of the 50 yuan banknote, he thought that in another 20 years, this kind of banknote would appreciate quite a lot, but he had no idea of collecting this kind of banknote for the time being, this kind of banknote was only issued this year, and it is not cost-effective to start collecting it now.
Although Meng Songhai didn't plan to start collecting banknotes, he thought that in the future, when he encountered the last 5 super leopard numbers with the same number, he must keep the collection, and he also wanted to create an opportunity, and when he had money, he would deposit the money in the bank, and when the bank had unused brand new banknotes, he would go to pick them up, leave the leopard number, and spend the rest.
After completing the transaction, Meng Songhai asked, "Is there a bag?" ”
"Nope."
Meng Songhai saw that the stall owner had a newspaper and said, "You can wrap two newspapers for me." ”
"Okay." The stall owner took two newspapers to Meng Songhai, and then introduced, "These jade objects are very beautiful. You buy more, I can give you cheaper. ”
Meng Songhai was not interested in the remaining jade, he knew that if he bought it now and stored it for more than 20 years, he might be able to make a huge profit, but he didn't look down on these jades, and felt that the quality was very average, even if the price was very cheap, he had no intention of collecting a large number of them.
"Is this a walnut?" Meng Songhai picked up a pair of walnuts and asked knowingly.
"This is not a walnut to eat, a walnut can be used as a health ball and played with in your hand."
Meng Songhai played with his right hand a few times, and said with a smile: "It's very interesting, how much does this pair of things sell?" ”
"If you want it, I'll give it to you for ten dollars."
"What?" Meng Songhai pretended to be surprised and said, "How much is a pound of walnuts to eat, why is such a pair of walnuts so expensive?" ”
"It's different." The stall owner smiled and explained, "This pair of walnuts is an antique, you look at this bag of pulp, I don't say that it has a history of 100 years, but it has a history of 50 or 60 years." The walnuts that have just been picked from the tree are generally not valuable, but they are worth a lot after playing for a long time. ”
"I know a lot." Meng Songhai muttered to himself, shook his head with a smile and said, "Ten yuan is too expensive, if you sell it for one dollar, I can buy it and play it." ”
"One dollar is impossible, you really want it, take it for five dollars."
"Five?" Meng Songhai shook his head, "Three pieces." ”
"Four."
"It's ugly to hear four words, just three pieces. This pair of walnuts is sold, and I still buy things from you. ”
"Okay, then three." The stall owner pretended to be helpless and said, "This pair of walnuts for Wen, I can be regarded as a loss." ”
Meng Songhai smiled noncommittally, took out ten yuan and handed it to the stall owner, who asked him for seven yuan.
Meng Songhai saw that there were a lot of copper coins in this stall, and immediately took out one or two ancient spring treasures (rare and precious ancient coins) from it, he picked up the copper coins one by one, looked at them for a while, and did not find a single one.
"What copper coins are you looking for?" The stall owner asked.
"Just take a look."
When Meng Songhai was about to leave, he suddenly saw a corner of a coin peeking out under a porcelain plate next to the copper coin, and when he moved the plate, he saw the appearance of the copper coin.
"What kind of copper coin is this, it looks weird."
Meng Songhai picked up the copper coin, with some curious expressions on his face, he knew the name of this copper coin - one knife flat five thousand.
A knife flat five thousand, also known as "gold wrong knife", the currency of the Han Dynasty, is the currency of Wang Mang after usurping the Han Dynasty, and there are two words of wrong gold on the knife coin "a knife". Soon after Wang Mang usurped power, he changed to the currency system, issued new coins, and minted more and more coins, which plunged the social economy into chaos and made the people's livelihood difficult.
"It's weird, I've never seen this kind of copper coin before, it's a rare object, it's very valuable."
"Real ancient money, fake ancient money, two said." Meng Songhai said lightly, "How much do you sell?" ”
"You have made two deals, you are a regular customer, and I will sell it to you cheaply, twenty yuan."
Meng Songhai knew that if he bought this "five thousand yuan for a knife" at a price of 20 yuan and sold it, he would be able to make some money and collect it for a long time, and the profits would be even more lucrative, but he was not ready to buy it at this price, because the stall owner had no idea what this coin was, and the cost of buying it from the countryside must be very low.
"Can't afford it."
Meng Songhai directly put down the ancient coin in his hand, and before putting it down, he glanced left and right a few times to make sure that there was no one around, if there was someone next to him, then he would not put down the ancient coin in his hand.
Meng Songhai didn't really want to buy, but a counter-offer strategy, if there was someone next to him, he put it down, then others could ask the price, and when the thing was in his hands, according to the rules of the industry, even if others were interested, they couldn't ask the price...... Of course, many people don't talk about the rules of the industry.
"How much do you think is appropriate?" The stall owner asked.
As Meng Songhai predicted, the cost of the stall owner to buy this copper coin is very low, he offered 20 yuan, which is the sky-high asking price, if this copper coin is really valuable, no matter how much the market price is, he sold it for 20 yuan, the profit is very rich, the customer in front of him has already bought two things, is a very purchasing power of the master, he hopes to sell a few more pieces, usually he sets up a stall here, many times a day can not sell a piece.
"For a dollar, I can buy it and play with it."
"One dollar is too low, you really want it, five dollars is given to you, five dollars is the lowest price."
Meng Songhai pretended to hesitate for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, five yuan deal." ”
Meng Songhai took out five yuan and handed it to the stall owner, and after that, he left.
