Chapter 020: "The Legend of the West Chamber" Hidden Killing Intention (2)
Zhao Gan's sentence "My Wan'er" annoyed Lin Wan'er, and Lin Wan'er couldn't help but stomp on Zhao Gan under the table.
Zhao Qian gasped in pain, with tears in his eyes, it was really pitiful, but he still endured the pain and said: "I can't hide it, Lin Wan'er really wrote this book seriously, and it is called from this book." We met with Mr. Liu to see if we could publish the book. ”
Liu Hongda's eyes lit up obviously, and he said with some excitement: "Oh? No wonder I think that the style and artistic conception of the lyrics and songs sung by the smiling girl today are so lofty, not at all like those vulgar poems. It's just that where is this, can you take it out for Liu to have a good taste. ”
Chen Xiaoxiao had already taken out the transcription version and put it in front of Liu Hongda.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but glance at it, Chen Xiaoxiao's font was handsome and graceful, and it made people feel comfortable when they looked at it, and they threw Lin Wan'er several streets.
Liu Hongda held it in his hand, first praised a few words of Chen Xiaoxiao, and then turned to the last page, and quickly browsed, there are many strange romances on the market, and those who sell their fame and reputation are like carp crossing the river, and any person dares to take a mess of filthy things and say that it is a book. As the big shopkeeper of Lanzhou Bookstore, he doesn't know how many filthy books to read every day, and sometimes he has the urge to vomit when he eats, so Liu Hongda has developed a habit of reading books from the back to the front.
Chen Xiaoxiao waited expectantly for Liu Hongda's reaction.
Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan didn't care about it, and each of them dipped some tea in one hand and drew circles on the table, competing to see who drew the circle.
Liu Hongda's heart turned over the river and the sea, and this last time he wrote that Yingying sent Zhang Sheng to Beijing to take the exam, which was extremely lingering and compassionate, and the brushstrokes were faint, especially the sentence "Hate to see each other late, and return to get sick." The willow silk is long and the jade is difficult to tie, and the sparse forest is hung by the slanting light. "It makes Liu Hongda even more shocked, this book should only be in the sky, how many times in the world has to hear it! Lin Wan'er's name as a talented woman is worthy of her name, if she hadn't been brewing for more than ten years, she would have killed Liu Hongda, and Liu Hongda didn't believe that it was written by Lin Wan'er, but today I still have to believe it.
No matter that Liu Hongda has a strong book business, but after all, he is a businessman, and he secretly sighs in his heart that he is lucky, and when he sees this book one step ahead of others, his eyes are fluttering, and he sees Lin Wan'er's demeanor and mood, but he doesn't take the matter of publishing to heart at all, and he is uncertain in his heart, and he doesn't know what price to buy and publish this book for.
Actually, Li Hongda blamed Lin Wan'er by mistake, and Lin Wan'er was a little nervous when she started to enter the painting boat, but after chatting for a long time, she didn't talk about the silver, and Lin Wan'er felt that she was not nervous.
Liu Hongda settled down, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip lightly, smiled, and said: "Miss Lin is worthy of the name of a talented woman, this book is well written." Liu Hongda gave a good evaluation and prepared to lower the price.
Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan glanced at each other, Zhao Gan snatched it from Liu Hongda's hand, a good comment, it seems that the other party doesn't know the real thing, the two of them didn't say a word, stood up and were about to walk outside the painting boat.
Liu Hongda didn't expect this scene, so he hurriedly intercepted Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan, and said, "Miss Wan'er, please stay." Then he changed his words: "It's a divine book, and I want to publish it exclusively in Lanzhou Book Company." The first time we met, Liu smelled copper, so I gave some upfront fees first. After speaking, Liu Hongda stretched out five fingers, then took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it over.
Lin Wan'er turned her head and looked at it, she was surprised in her heart, a whole five taels of silver, this big shopkeeper of the Lanzhou Bookstore is really generous, and the funds for the event are all five taels, her heart blossomed, she sat back with a smile, and reached out to take the silver ticket handed over by Liu Hongda.
"Mom!" Lin Wan'er glanced at the number on the silver ticket and couldn't help but exclaim, a full fifty taels of silver, genuine.
Lin Wan'er had never seen such a large denomination of silver tickets in four years, and she was surprised and joyful.
Zhao Qian sighed in his heart, and tied Lin Wan'er for only fifty taels of silver, he was really a money fan who had never seen the market, since Lin Wan'er didn't know how to seek benefits, she could only negotiate the price by herself.
Zhao Qian arched his hand at Liu Hongda and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, it is too cold to want to publish a book for fifty taels of silver." ”
Liu Hongda felt that this Zhao Qiangongzi was extraordinary, and thought that a "good" evaluation almost annoyed the two of them, and it seemed that he couldn't take it lightly in terms of dividends, gritted his teeth, and said: "After the book is published, each book will be sold to give ten percent of the profit." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qian and Chen Xiaoxiao both nodded slightly, feeling that this was not bad and reasonable. But Lin Wan'er stopped doing it, and said to Zhao Gan: "Don't be too greedy, you want too much, just five percent." This is the truth, because Lin Wan'er values real money the most, and since the silver is in hand, she should also give up some benefits. It's really not that Lin Wan'er is kind, but she doesn't have any feelings for those ethereal "ten percent concessions", and it may be a few taels of silver at most.
But these words fell on Liu Hongda's ears differently, like the measurement often used by businessmen, the opposite is true, and he clearly feels that the distribution of benefits is unreasonable, but he just said that you give too much.
Liu Hongda's mind was full of thoughts, and he instantly calculated the cost and risk of publishing in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Each book will make a profit of 15 percent." ”
When Lin Wan'er heard how to make more and more profits, she hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Liu, you really don't need so much, five percent is good." ”
Liu Hongda looked at Lin Wan'er, only to see that the other party's tone was sincere and his eyes were clear, but he looked at people with the eyes of a businessman all the year round, and always felt that this Lin Wan'er was making a show, and he still felt that the dividends were less, and his right hand hit the manuscript hard, and said: "Give 20% of the profit for each book." ”
Lin Wan'er wanted to speak.
But Liu Hongda didn't give Lin Wan'er a chance to continue to speak, he stuffed it into his sleeve, arched his hand to everyone, and said: "Liu is rude, one step ahead, this is here with Liu first, and I will reply to Miss Wan'er as soon as the New Year is over." Then he lifted the curtain of the boat, and as soon as he lifted his feet, the man flew away.
Lin Wan'er still wanted to chase it out, saying that she really didn't need to give so much, but Chen Xiaoxiao held her hand.
As soon as Lin Wan'er turned around, she saw Zhao Gan tilting her head, erecting her big female finger to herself, and kept saying in her mouth: "High, high, really high." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
Only Lin Wan'er, the second monk, couldn't figure it out.
Liu Hongda walked out of the painting boat street, got into the carriage, and couldn't wait to take it out of his sleeve. The carriage passed through one of the most prosperous streets in Lanzhou, surrounded by lights and shadows, and light continued to shine through the carriage. Liu Hongda took advantage of the light, turned the first page, read carefully, the more he read, the more frightened, the more he read, the more he was happy, since the opening of the Lanzhou Bookstore, this should be the first strange book, maybe the business of the Lanzhou Bookstore will be able to go further, diffraction from the Zhouzhou, and the business will be done in the entire Great Wei Kingdom.
Liu Hongda returned to the house, it was still early, and he originally wanted to listen to more songs on the painting boat, but Lin Wan'er accidentally came back some time early. The little guy outside the door waited for a long time, opened the curtain, and said, "Master, Master Lin is here, and he has been waiting in the house for a long time." ”
Liu Hongda said "oh", the so-called Master Lin refers to Lin Puling, that is, Lin Wan'er's uncle. Liu Hongda clenched the one in his hand, and his eyes rolled. Liu Hongda knew about the Lin family, and he also knew that the dispute between Lin Puling and Lin Wan'er was over, and a plan in his heart was instantly formed, maybe he could make more money this time.
But this is all after the Chinese New Year, and now Lin Wan'er is full of joy, carrying fifty taels of silver in her arms, feeling that she is the richest man in this state.
