Chapter 043: Turning the study into a toilet
On the second day of the Lantern Festival, Half Moon Books published a hardcover version with Lin Wan'er's eight Lantern Festival poems.
In addition, the hardcover version is prefaced by Jane, the preface is called, not as sonorous and powerful as Mr. Duan's preface, but more poignant, mainly based on the five cries in the process of reading as a preface, respectively, Zhang Sheng smiled and cried for the first time when they met, cried for the moon and missed the moon, cried for farewell in the ten-mile long pavilion, cried for the sadness of Zhang Sheng's suicide, cried for the poignant butterfly, and finally had the ultimate praise of "one out to earn all the tears of the world".
Jane everyone seemed to feel that it was not enough fun, and at the end of the preface, she wrote a sentence out of thin air, "May there be love in the world - people will eventually become dependents", which is as unreasonable and unfounded as Lin Wan'er's last sentence, which is considered an unreasonable sentence, but it is just right and has endless aftertaste.
In the end, Lin Waner also wrote a chapter for the hardcover version, mainly about the four years after the laughter and Zhang Shenghua's butterfly dance, Xiao Zhangsheng was already four years old, very cute, but was captured by bandits, just when Xiao Zhangsheng's life was at stake, a pair of butterflies led the way to save Xiao Zhangsheng, Xiao Zhangsheng fell off the cliff carelessly in the process of escaping, and a group of butterflies dragged Xiao Zhangsheng up and sent him back to the old woman. This side story is very short, and it tells the story of Xiao Zhangsheng's escape under the moon and the mutual snuggling of the pair of butterflies, and the whole article ends with "Pity the hearts of the world's parents", and it is a few bitter tears that have earned enough for the world's parents.
Xiao Zhang Sheng's image is based on the Lin family's treasure jade.
As soon as this hardcover version appeared, it turned out to be more popular than the previous one, even those readers who have already bought it are constantly going to the Half Moon Bookstore, but there is no preface and side stories of Jane, and many people will buy it, not for reading, but for collection.
At present, there is a discussion in Lanzhou, and people have forgotten that there is another scholar named Ouyang Tuo who has had a relationship with this strange book, no matter who everyone recognizes, this must be written by Lin Wan'er, there is no doubt about it.
The front door of the Half Moon Bookstore is like a market, there is an endless stream of people who come to buy books, and a thousand copies a day are sold out quickly, Jane everyone doesn't understand why a thousand copies are sold a day, so they specially asked Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er said that this is hunger marketing, Jane everyone is a little dazed, naturally they have never heard of the word hunger marketing. And many words Lin Wan'er said, Jane has never heard of them, such as "feminist", "Taoyuan Sanjieyi", etc., the sentence "powerful" can guess a little meaning, but the sentence "Mo Mo Da" is really cloudy and foggy, I don't know what to do.
At the same time, Liu Hongda was already anxious, and he read a few books successively, wanting to publish them as the main books of the Lanzhou Bookstore, but after reading a few pages, Liu Hongda smashed the books on the table, and compared with Lin Waner's books, the difference was not the slightest, but the difference was thousands of miles.
Liu Hongda went to the Lin Mansion and asked Lin Puling for help, but Lin Puling pretended to be stupid and stunned as he did when he deceived Lin Wan'er, completely ignoring the friendship for many years, and opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that Liu Hongda threw away his sleeves, and the friendship between the two families ended here.
The situation of Lanzhou Bookstore is becoming more and more difficult, Half Moon Bookstore and Chongshu Bookstore rely on firmly occupying the market, Liu Hongda deliberately found Shen Songwen from Chongshu Bookstore, and followed the temptation with various interests, but Shen Songwen seemed to have taken some kind of medicine, and stood on Lin Wan'er's side with an iron heart.
As for the Half Moon Bookstore, Liu Hongda has never thought about opening a gap over there.
In addition, Liu Hongda also went to Chen Xiaoxiao's painting boat, but Chen Xiaoxiao seemed to be possessed by Lin Wan'er, and beat Liu Hongda out with a broom.
The Lanzhou Book Company is cornered, and Liu Hongda is also desperate. Seeing that a big family business was ruined in his own hands, Liu Hongda regretted it very much, and regretted it very much, he shouldn't have been obsessed with money at that time.
But Liu Hongda had the attitude of trying it out, picked a good weather, and went to the Lin family's courtyard with a large bag of gifts. Liu Hongda thought of the wording on the carriage and practiced a few sincere smiles. But as soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the small courtyard of the Lin family was tightly closed, and Zhao Gan was sitting lazily basking in the sun on a bench with a handful of peanuts in his hand, and there was a small wine jug next to the bench.
Zhao Gan peeled off a peanut and threw it into his mouth, then took a sip of wine, and then closed his eyes in enjoyment, and noticed that Liu Hong had arrived, and only opened one eye to look at Liu Hongda, and snorted coldly unabashedly.
Liu Hongda piled up a smile on his face, walked forward, half-squatted in front of Zhao Gan, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, what about the sun?" β
Zhao Qian nodded inaudibly, then frowned slightly, and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, let me go, you blocked my sunlight." β
Liu Hongda hurriedly got out of the way, and the wisps of sunlight shone down, and Zhao Qian stretched comfortably.
Liu Hongda squatted next to him happily and said, "Zhao Gongzi, is Miss Wan'er at home?" Liu came to visit today and sincerely apologized. β
Zhao Qian snorted, and then, and then there was no more (I used it again, I'm so happy).
Liu Hongda was not discouraged at all, and then said: "Zhao Gongzi, all the mistakes in the past were Liu's fault, you don't remember the villain's mistakes, please tell me." β
Zhao Qian closed his eyes, stretched out one hand, and twisted the fingers and index fingers of the eldest mother with each other, that look was obvious, and the silver was brought.
Liu Hongda's face, which had always been happy, was suddenly a little dazed and puzzled, looking at Zhao Gongzi's demeanor and demeanor, he shouldn't be a greedy person, but it was really weird to ask for money with his hands, but he immediately put on a smiling face, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, and presented it to Zhao Qian with both hands.
Zhao Gan didn't look at it, he stuffed it into his sleeve, grabbed a few more peanuts, stood up reluctantly, and walked into the small courtyard with three shakes in his mouth while chattering in his mouth.
After an hour, Zhao Gan had not come out yet, but Liu Hongda did a lot of things outside, such as counting the ants on the ground, looking up to see how the clouds in the sky changed shape, and seeing a child jumping up and down with an oil bottle to make soy sauce, Liu Hongda felt that this was very unlucky, as if he could only make soy sauce when he came to the Lin family's courtyard.
After another half an hour, Zhao Qian walked out of the neighbor's courtyard, with another pot of sake in his hand, sat back on the small stool, and said, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Liu, Wan'er is meeting guests, it's not very convenient." β
Liu Hongda smiled bitterly, then rubbed his hands together a few times, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, please go inside again, Liu can stand inside and wait." β
Zhao Gan got up again and walked into the small courtyard, but this time the time was very short, as soon as the front foot entered the small courtyard, the back foot came out, obviously he didn't see Lin Wan'er and came out, but Zhao Gan was unceremoniously, sat on the stool, and said: "Wan'er is sick in bed, it's inconvenient to meet guests, Boss Liu should go back!" β
This reason is very fake, so fake that you don't need to think about it, you know that you are lying when you hear it, but Liu Hongda's face suddenly became ugly, he deceived himself, and when Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian went to Liu's mansion to seek justice, they also used this way to prevaricate each other.
Liu Hongda knew that it was time to show his position, the so-called face and other things were really insignificant compared to the life and death of Lanzhou Bookstore. Liu Hongda sighed, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, rolled up his sleeves indiscriminately, sat on the ground with one butt, and supported his chin with one hand, enjoying the sunshine like Zhao Gan.
Zhao Qian squinted at Liu Hongda, the corners of his mouth were not light, and he said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I think you should go back." Lin Wan'er's heart is not fleshy, but made of stone, and your bitter meat plan has no meaning. β
Liu Hongda was a little broken, no matter what Zhao Qian said, he sat next to him, reached out and picked up a few peanuts, peeled one off and stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed faintly: "Miss Wan'er said in it that you can't live if you do your own evil, and today I really understand the meaning." Zhao Gongzi, whether you believe it or not, I was really angry at first, but now I am not angry. Miss Wan'er was already very merciful in doing this, and she was confused at the beginning, and she didn't care about it for a little benefit. When I was a child, my father often taught me that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, and I didn't care about it before, but now I think about it very reasonably. If it weren't for Miss Wan'er to teach me this lesson, I might not have understood it for the rest of my life. β
Zhao Qian looked at Liu Hongda, wanting to see on the other party's face whether this was the truth or just a part of the bitter trick for the big shopkeeper of the Lanzhou Bookstore, but he couldn't see the reason, and sat back on the stool.
As the sun set and the weather gradually cooled down, Zhao Qian got up from a small stool and walked back to the Lin family's courtyard. After a while, Zhao Qian walked out of the small courtyard and said to Liu Hongda: "Shopkeeper Liu, Wan'er is invited!" β
Liu Hongda followed behind Zhao Qian and entered the Lin family's courtyard. Lin Wan'er was sitting on the seat in the front hall, looking at Liu Hongda with a smile on her face, but she didn't get up to greet her, looking a little rude, just beckoned lightly and asked the other party to sit down.
Liu Hongda put all kinds of gifts on the table and sat down.
Lin Wan'er opened her mouth and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today, and I really shouldn't have been able to meet right away." β
Liu Hongda didn't care at all, laughed, and said: "Miss Wan'er, if you are unwell, you should have a good rest, and Liu should wait." Actually, Liu came to ...... today"
Lin Wan'er suddenly stopped Liu Hongda, and said first: "Shopkeeper Liu, the study in your house is really big!" β
Liu Hongda nodded, a little puzzled, why did he suddenly talk about the study.
Lin Wan'er turned her head to look at Zhao Gan and asked, "Zhao Gan, I heard that your toilet is as big as the study of the shopkeeper Liu?" β
Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Maybe it's a little bigger." β
Lin Wan'er also nodded, and said to Liu Hongda: "Shopkeeper Liu, if you can modify the study into a toilet, I will agree with you to publish, what do you think?" β
To be honest, Lin Wan'er's mention was a little insulting, but Liu Hongda was very excited, and opened his mouth to say: "Miss Wan'er is it serious? β
Lin Wan'er nodded: "Of course it's true." β
"Okay." Liu Hongda hurriedly stood up, and while walking outside, he said, "When the modification is completed, Liu will come to visit the house again." After speaking, the person walked out of the Lin family's courtyard.
Zhao Qian first poured Lin Wan'er a cup of tea, then poured himself a cup, and said: "Wan'er, you said that you tested the shopkeeper Liu like this, and the shopkeeper Liu can endure it, how much is it pretended, and how much is it true?" β
Lin Wan'er held the teacup with both hands and said, "It doesn't matter how much is true or how much is false, the important thing is to see what Liu Hongda can do for the sake of profit." Even if he stole it, it was nothing more than for profit. Now we have forced the other party into a desperate situation, he can come to the Lin family's courtyard to show that he is very tolerant, today he first asked Liu Hongda to wait outside for an afternoon, the other party endured it, and then changed the study into a toilet, and the other party also endured it. This shows that interests are very important in Liu Hongda's heart, higher than face and others. A businessman who attaches too much importance to righteousness is pedantic, which is actually very bad, and it is a good partner to be able to endure heavy profits. β
Zhao Qian also took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "That's right, but today Liu Hongda is willing to grovel for the sake of interests, but tomorrow he will also be able to betray for the sake of interests." β
Lin Wan'er pointed out the key in one sentence: "As long as the benefits for him are big enough, it's fine." β
Zhao Qian continued: "There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, maybe other people will give greater benefits." β
Lin Wan'er shook her head and said: "Benefits are only one aspect, and there is another aspect of risk. In recent years, the books published by Lanzhou Book Company have mainly been a small number of times, indicating that Liu Hongda is afraid of risks. As long as the risks are small and the benefits are large, Liu Hongda will not betray. Sister Jane's love of books rather than money is the premise and foundation of ensuring the quality of books, and it is the most important part. Shen Songwen's vision of Chongshu Bureau is a little low, and the pattern is too small, far inferior to Liu Hongda, so it is imperative to unite the situation of Lanzhou Books. At that time, the Lanzhou Book Company, the Chongshu Book Company, and the Half Moon Book Company will unite to check and balance each other, thinking that the springboard will definitely set off a whirlwind in the Great Wei Kingdom. Of course, as mental workers, we dominate copyright, and we must distribute benefits, especially the interests of Sister Jane, Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen are too strong, and Sister Jian doesn't care about interests, in short, we can't let Sister Jian suffer. "The difficulties of Liu Hongda during the day are all temptations, testing what Cheng dΓΉ this big boss can bow his head to for the sake of interests, and the results of the temptation are very satisfying.
Zhao Qian said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Wan'er, you have a unique vision and unique analysis, this scheming is that you can play it in the palace, where are the other people your opponents?" β
Lin Wan'er looked at Zhao Gan's pouted mouth and said, "Bragging again, have you ever seen the palace?" Do you know where the doors of the palace open? By the way, Liu Hongda gave me all the silver during the day, and I still want to eat alone, I have never seen you so shameless, hum. β
Zhao Qian was speechless for a while, how can I be shameless, you open your mouth and ask for silver, and you have to give it all, who is shameless. But Zhao Gan didn't speak, obediently handed the silver ticket to Lin Wan'er from his sleeve, and said in a very vicissitudes of life and sadness: "Why am I so cheap? β
