When Cui Xiancheng came back, he looked dejected, indicating that things were not going so well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I swore before I went, it's a shame." Cui Xiancheng poured a sip of tea and said, "Don't laugh at me, the bookstores in Lin'an County are all made by the Ma family, and they don't dare to ask for books from other printing workshops." ”

Xue Fang filled him with a cup of tea and asked, "How many of them have agreed?"

"One...... One agreed, and the shopkeeper of Mingde Study agreed. Cui Xiancheng scolded indignantly, "It's all my old friends from the past, not to mention those bookstores that don't have friendships." ”

"If the Ma family intervenes, then it is natural, and the businessman of course puts interests first."

Mei Xueyan comforted that she had been in Chengfang Printing Workshop almost during the day in the past few days, mainly avoiding Lin Sanlang, so as not to face him day and night, Mei Xueyan always had to drag it out until the dead of night, secretly return to the Lin Mansion, and then sneak into the wing room to lock the door.

The printing workshop is when there is a shortage of manpower, she is not a powerless daughter, she can help a lot, even Cui Xiancheng and his wife are impressed, I didn't expect her to be willing to do any tiring work, and it doesn't matter if she has ink on her face.

"What then?" Xue Fang was a little anxious.

Mei Xueyan pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know if you two believe me?"

"We are grasshoppers on a rope, what else do you believe it or not, does Yan Niang have any ideas?"

"It's not an idea, I just think we're just not in time."

Cui Xiancheng and Xue Fang listened carefully, and Steward Zhao, who was present, did not dare to interject, but shook his head gently, he was not optimistic from the beginning.

"According to what Brother Cui said, Lin'an's bookstores are only part of the reason why they are afraid of the Ma family's power, but also because the Ma family is wealthy, they can desperately reduce the price, and other small printing workshops can't consume the Ma family, in this way, in fact, it is those bookstores that take advantage of it, buy cheaply and sell expensively, and they can get a lot of profits for the time being."

Cui Xiancheng nodded and said approvingly: "They are short-sighted, once the Ma family crushes all the printing workshops, how much do they want to rise, and there are still good fruits from the bookstore to eat?"

"So the bookstore looks at the money and not the people." Mei Xueyan analyzed, "They didn't see the benefits, so they refused to enter our batch of books, and when they found that it was profitable, they would take the initiative to come to the door." No matter how powerful the Ma family is, it can't withstand the pressure of all the bookstores in Lin'an County. ”

That's the truth, but they can't afford to wait!

Steward Zhao couldn't help but mutter: "There are no books to store our things, where can we sell them?" I said earlier that this is a loss-making business, and this time we have lost a lot of money, and we are busy in vain. ”

Steward Zhao has always been the most calm, so he thinks about things in the worst, and has helped Chengfang Printing Workshop avoid crises several times before.

"Steward Zhao, I can't guess that someone will come to the door to buy it in three days, do you believe it?"

"It's not a fortune-telling fairy, who knows? I guess it's useless to ask for a bodhisattva......" Steward Zhao said dejectedly, "Listen to Miss Mei's tone, is there a way?" If these 5,000 books can really be sold, I won't have to pay a month! ”

Mei Xueyan said with a smile: "The salary still has to be paid, you can't work in vain when you are busy, so let's do it, if I say it, you invite everyone to have a good meal, the guys have made great efforts, and they haven't slept well for a few nights, so they should be rewarded."

"No problem!" Steward Zhao said happily, "What's your solution?" Say it quickly, say it quickly. ”

"Spread the word."

Not only Zhao was in charge, but even Cui Xiancheng and Xue Fang were a little confused.

"In these years, the aroma of wine is afraid of deep alleys, and what we sell is not the well-known Four Books and Five Classics, so we must let people know first."

"If you can't sell it, how do people know?" Steward Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is it possible, find a few loud voices to shout outside?" ”

"Almost! Even the pawn dealers have to shout, and we are also buying and selling, so we can't cherish the broom, so I'll do it. ”

"This is the publicity?" Steward Zhao blinked and said, "Can it be reliable?" ”

While the discussion was in full swing, the man led a man in a coat in, in his early thirties, slightly chubby, square-faced, striding and walking, thinking that he was a vigorous and resolute person.

"Brother Cui!"

This man's voice is not small, and he shouts when he comes in.

"Brother Tong, why did you come so soon?" Cui Xiancheng introduced, "This is the shopkeeper of Mingde Study, Tong Xinyan Tong's shopkeeper." This is Miss Mei, a Mao Cai. ”

"Recognize, recognize!" Tong Xinyan said loudly, "How can I not know our female talent in Lin'an County?" That day in the county office, I saw the girl's demeanor, and scolded the two old shows with poetry to be ashamed! Joyfully! ”

"Shopkeeper Tong laughed."

"Hahaha, I came here under the name of Miss Chongmei. Of course, it's also to help my brother Cui. ”

Cui Xiancheng invited Tong Xinyan to take a seat and said, "I also asked you to make such a trip, and said that we would send the book over."

"I can't wait, people are coming. I just can't get used to the Ma family's style, if I can make them deflated, it doesn't matter if I lose money! ”

Cui Xiancheng couldn't help but be grateful, Tong Xinyan saw that Chengfang Printing Workshop was the most embarrassed time at this time, and there were not enough manpower, so he simply brought someone to transport the book himself.

"Brother Tong, you can take it easy, it's not worth offending the Ma family for us, you have to rely on the Ma family to do your business."

Tong Xinyan's face was not good-looking, and he scolded a few words.

"What do you rely on? Don't think I don't know what they do, but it's a pity that those colleagues are self-interested in the moment, completely ignoring the hidden dangers in the future. Do you know why the Ma family's books are sold so cheaply? ”

Cui Xiancheng didn't think about it and replied: "Because they can afford it, anyway, the Ma family's business is more than just a printing workshop, and the profit can't be dragged down for a while."

"Hmph." Tong Xinyan snorted coldly, "You may not know, but I have suffered a loss, the books from the Ma family, they all use inferior paper and ink, some pages are broken, and some handwriting is spent, using this kind of inferior means to reduce costs." ”

"Huh? That...... Is there no bookstore to return? ”

"Can you get back?" Tong Xinyan said breathlessly, "Compared to the Ma family, it's better to be a scholar." ”

Mei Xueyan heard some doors, the reason why the Ma family dared to do this was because there was only one printing workshop left in Lin'an, who else could literati buy books?

"The good end of the line was made into a miasma by them, anyway, I can't swallow this breath, the novel is difficult to sell, but I can do it against the Ma family, I also admit it, sell a few copies count as a few copies!"

Tong Xinyan is already ready to lose money, and it's a big deal that he won't stay in Lin'an County like Cui Xiancheng.
