Volume 1 Jiang Chengzi Chapter 16 Shopping Malls Like Battlefields (II)

Gu Kui looked very cramped when he was brought to the Wan family brothers, standing below with his eyebrows lowered, and he didn't know where to put his two hands, and he saw that the two of them smiled contemptuously one after another. After a while, it was only after Wan Ai said, "Gu Kui, we met earlier, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm just here to know something from you, so I'm here to sit down and talk. ”

Gu Kui didn't move, only whispered vaguely: "I...... I didn't know your identity before, so I was confused for a while, and told you some things about our store. The owner has always been very good to me and I will not betray him again. ”

These words caused the two of them to laugh again, and Wan Rong immediately said coldly: "So Gu Yuezi still doesn't know that you have told us many secrets in the store early in the morning?" Come to think of it, otherwise how could he not accept our kindness, and still have to fight with our Wanjia?

"But have you ever thought about it, he will know about you one day, and then how do you think he will punish you, a guy who eats inside and out? Well? ”

These words really made Gu Kui feel a panic, and his body trembled slightly: "I...... I ......, "I'm in heaven, but I can't say a word."

"So I have a way here, as long as you think of helping us to make the Gu Family Bookstore completely collapsed, so that Gu Yuezi will be down, and the master will no longer be the master, and you will naturally no longer have to worry about being punished by your master." Wan Ai said again.

The two brothers sang red face and white face, and in a few words, they put enough pressure on Gu Kui, cut off all his back roads, and then waited quietly for him to make up his mind. After a while, seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Wan Ai took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve and slapped it on the table: "My family has always acted fairly, as long as you are willing to help us do things, the benefits are naturally indispensable to you." For example, this time, if you can tell Gu Yuezi in detail about the meeting and discussion with those bookstore owners yesterday, this money is yours. ”

First the threat, then the temptation, sure enough, Gu Kui began to waver. I saw that he had his head still bowed, raised his eyes slightly, kept spinning on the silver, and rubbed his hands repeatedly on his body with some uneasiness, obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. Seeing this, Wan Ai smiled, took out another ingot of silver and put it on the table, the meaning had been conveyed.

"I ...... Yesterday the master asked me to be waiting, so I listened to their conversations. What he meant...... It is to let several bookstore owners stand with our Gujia Bookstore and boycott all the books of Wanjia Bookstore, so that your books cannot be sold in the county. Under the weight, Gu Kui finally made the choice of betrayal.

"Oh?" Wan Ai and Wan Rong glanced at each other, and the matter was really the same as the news they received before, it seemed that everything was under control, "How did those bosses decide?" ”

"They didn't give any assurances on the spot, they just said they would go back and think about it. But...... But when I saw their reactions, they were a little tempted. After all, what that Li Gongzi said was right, once Wanjia Bookstore really crushed our Gujia Bookstore, their life would not be easy at that time. ”

"Humph! The one surnamed Li really had a nostril with Gu Yuezi, so he had to be willing to cooperate with us! But he just jumped off the clown, and he couldn't do anything, I always had to make him pay! Wan Rong remembered a conversation with Li Ling a few days ago, and he felt a pang of chagrin in his heart, and couldn't help but scold.

Wan Ai coughed, stopped his younger brother from continuing to talk about unnecessary things, and then nodded at Gu Kui and said, "Very good, it seems that you have thought it through, and you will do things for our family in the future." Rest assured, we have always been kind to capable people like you, as long as you can bring us more useful information, the benefits will be indispensable to you. As soon as he finished speaking, the two ingots of silver had crossed an arc and landed firmly in Gu Kui's arms.

This quickly showed a look of surprise and greed on his face, and he quickly hid the silver in his arms, as if he was afraid that it would escape. His move once again attracted the contempt of the Wan family brothers, as long as they could be bribed with silver, they seemed to be easy to deal with.

"Then you go back and let us know if you have any news."

Gu Kui nodded, just wanted to leave, hesitated a little, and snorted: "Actually, there is one more thing, I don't know if it's useful." ”

"You said, as long as it's about Gujia Bookstore or Gu Yuezi, I have to know!" Wan Ai immediately became interested and hurriedly said.

"Just the day before yesterday, the master asked me to invite a few engravers to the workshop to discuss things, and listen to their conversation, as if they were about to enlarge the book plate, and what they said about carving pictures on the plate, I don't understand very well, and I can't remember clearly."

Wan Ai pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that your master is thinking of finding another way to compete with us, but he has some ideas." Well, that's good news, and I'll give you a little bit of reward. Anything else? He continued to ask, tossing another small ingot of silver.

Gu Kui took the silver, his face was full of excited smiles, and he immediately said: "Also, I heard the master say that the fourth volume of the gods will be printed at the beginning of next month......

"Oh? This is really important news! Well, you're really useful! Wan Ai was even more pleased when he heard this, and immediately gave two more ingots of silver. Only then did Gu Kui have no new news, and seeing that Wan Ai waved his hand at him, he retreated a little sneeringly, and then was led out of the courtyard.

It wasn't until he left that Wan Ai glanced at his brother and said with a smile: "How? I'm going to say this person can be useful, right? You think that we have already mastered the mind of the Gu family by winning over the owner of the Wang Family Bookstore, then you would be underestimating him Gu Yuezi. Moreover, with these two people for my use, I can also make a mutual confirmation, so that even if they want to deceive us, it will not be so easy. ”

"Or brother, you think more deeply, and the younger brother admires." Wan Rong also said with sincere emotion, "How do you think that the Gujia Bookstore is planning to struggle, and there are new tricks?" And what kind of god fourth volume can really pose a threat to us? ”

"It's hard to say, but it's always good to be careful. That Li Ling has some skills, not to mention anything else, the sentence that the shopping mall is like a battlefield has won my heart, and when there is a confrontation in the business field, you should go all out, and you can use any means. His Fengshen is indeed well written, the first three volumes have been sought after by many people, and this fourth volume will definitely sell better. ”

He was right, but the book was not. At least that god is still a little immature and unfamiliar from the words and sentences, and at first glance it is a newly written novel, which is far worse than Dai Chang'an and others. So I feel that as long as we find the right opportunity to use Dai Changan's new book to suppress Fengshen, we will definitely be able to compare him. As a result, Gujia Bookstore will inevitably lose a lot of money. ”

Wan Ai also agreed with this statement, nodded and said: "Then let Dai Changan finish the fourth volume quickly, we must print the four volumes together for sale before the fourth volume of the gods comes out!" At that time, they will definitely be able to snatch the market of the gods and cut off their back road. ”

"Okay, I'll have someone urge Dai Chang'an later, and be sure to write the fourth volume before the end of this month."

"As for the version changes made by the Gu Family Bookstore, do you think there is a threat?"

"Probably not, a book is a book, could it be that the version is bigger, and some illustrations can be sold at a higher price, and they will sell better?" Wan Vieng shook his head disappreciatively.

Although Wan Ai was a little uneasy, he thought that changing the version or something would not happen overnight, and he needed to discuss it with his family, and he would come and go for at least half a month, so he dispelled his idea: "Then start with the gods, and then break up the alliance between those bookstore owners and the Gu family, and at that time, what will the Gu Family Bookstore do to fight with us?" ”

Speaking of this, the two brothers glanced at each other, only to feel that the victory was in hand, and laughed at the same time.

……

A few ingots of silver were placed on the table, and Gu Yuezi was amazed: "This family is really rich, in order to buy you, they are willing to spend so much silver!" ”

"Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have ......" Gu Kui said with a look of shame again, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yuezi: "I said that the previous matter has passed, so there is no need to mention it." And you've done a great job this time. ”

"Huh? Is it okay to give them some of the inside information of our bookstore? Gu Kui still can't understand why the master and Li Gongzi want to let him do all this, when he was face to face with the Wanjia brothers just now, he was nervous to death.

Li Ling on the side laughed: "You may not understand the mystery now, but I believe that after August, you will know." I have already sent a great 'opportunity' to them, and I believe that with Wan Jia as a human being, I will not let it go, but what will happen after that depends on their own creation. ”

Gu Yuezi also smiled and nodded: "After reading the first half of the fourth volume you wrote, I believe that we will win this battle!" As long as they think of starting with the gods, this time they will definitely be able to make a big blood return! ”

After a pause, he was worried again: "It's just that why did you reveal everything about our version change to them?" ”

"This matter can't be kept, they will know in two days, and it doesn't matter the overall situation earlier. And in this way, it will be easier for Gukui to win their trust, and it will be much easier for me to mislead them in the future. Li Ling smiled like a fox that had stolen an old hen.

Immediately, he saw that Gu Yuezi still had a trace of uneasiness on his face, and knew that he felt that his methods were a little too ruthless, so he said again: "Do you remember what I said?" Shopping malls are like battlefields, since they are on the battlefield, then everything should be aimed at winning, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating! ”

Gu Yuezi thought about it carefully, and nodded: "You are right, this is their first offense, and it is also appropriate to let them suffer some hardships!" With that, he took the silver on the table and came to Gu Kui, and put it all in his hand.

This made Gu Kui a little frightened, and hurriedly pushed: "Master, I ......."

"Let you take it, and take it, for they gave it to you, and now I will reward you. I know that your mother's illness needs money, and now the store is in a hurry to use the money, so I can't give you too much, so I can only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. As he spoke, Gu Yuezi patted Gu Kui, who had been moved to the redness of his eyes: "But as long as you work hard, I believe that soon we won't worry about money anymore." ”

"Hmm!" Gu Kui held the silver and nodded vigorously with a grateful face, while Li Ling on the side smiled when he saw this, his ability as an ancient brother is not small.
