"Master Poma, the shopkeeper of the Zheng Family Bookstore and the Lu Family Bookstore, came to visit ......!"

Xue Rengui stepped forward to report.

"Huh? Let them in......! ”

Zhao Yin glanced at the two people outside the door and nodded.

"Zhao Juma really has a good mind, not only running a restaurant and wine shop business, but even a bookstore, he has to come to intervene! But don't know the depths of this business? ”

The two didn't wait for Xue Rengui to invite, so they walked in by themselves, and said in a weird way.

Although the corners of this person's mouth were smiling, his tone was obviously mocking.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Zhao Yin looked at him casually, not a little angry.

"The books and papers in Chang'an City are basically supplied by our two families, even those used in the palace, including them, Zhao Juma rashly entered the industry, and also bought so many paper mills and bookstores, even if the restaurant business is good, I am afraid that it will not be able to make up for this big hole! Ha ha......! ”

The shopkeeper of the Zheng family's bookstore, after ridiculing Zhao Yin, laughed proudly.

"Just your book, a few sheets, and the coarsest paper, how can anyone buy it? Judging from the following, it is better to give it away for free! Ha ha......! ”

The shopkeeper of the Lu family's bookstore casually picked up the freshly printed book and said with a disgusted face.

"That's right, this horse is going to be given away for free!"

Zhao Yin clasped his hands in front of his chest and stared at the two of them for a long time.

At the same time, he was calculating in his heart, how much oil and water could be squeezed out of these two people?

"It's really to the point of giving it away for free?"

The two shopkeepers were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

This kid just squandered it like that, and before they could make a move, he would play himself to death.

From papermaking to printing, which one is not expensive?

But this kid doesn't know how to cherish it, and he plans to give it away for free?

It won't be long before the doors are closed!

"Tell the workers that in addition to the 1,000 copies mentioned yesterday, 5,000 more copies will be printed, and this horse will be given away for free!"

Just when the two were gloating, Zhao Yin said to Hou Qingli seriously.

"You...... Are you serious? ”

Hou Qingli thought that he was just arguing with the two, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to give it away?

Although she didn't know how much these books cost, at the price of the current books in Chang'an City, any one of them was worth a lot of money.

Fortunately, she was born in a royal and aristocratic family, otherwise, let alone reading a lot of books, she wouldn't even be able to afford a book.

"That's right! As long as you know the words written in the book, you will get it for free! ”

Those serialized novels in modern society use this kind of routine!

First it was free to read, and then it started to be charged.

In order to attract more readers!

And this trick can also be used in Datang.

"Have you thought about it?"

After Li Wanting reacted, she asked.

Like Hou Qingli, she thought he was just joking.

I didn't expect him to be serious!

Although the cost is not high, it can't afford to squander it like this!

"Of course ......!"

Zhao Yin nodded with a serious face, and then handed the manuscript written last night to Li Wanting, "This is to be printed tomorrow, and the price will be doubled tomorrow!" ”

"Sister Wanting, show me, show me ......!"

Hearing that tomorrow's manuscript came out, Hou Qingli immediately put down the things in her hand and ran over happily, planning to have a sneak peek!

"You wait, I'll show you when I'm done!"

"Let's watch together......?"

"That'...... All right! ”

Just under the surprised eyes of Zheng and Lu, the two women began to scramble to read the manuscript.

Not only them, but also the other girls in the bookstore also put down their work and surrounded them curiously.

"Since you want to give it away for free, I'll give you a cheer first!"

The two of them each picked up a notebook and planned to flip through it.

"Stop......!"

However, before the two of them started, they were blocked by Zhao Yin's hand, "Every book is consistent!" Take the money ......! ”

What the?

Consistent?

Just this crude paper, still consistent?

Why don't you grab it?

According to them, it is worth ten wen at most.

This is the lion's mouth, intending to slaughter them!

The two looked at each other, extremely depressed!

"Didn't you just say that you want to give it away for free?"

Shopkeeper Zheng shook the thin few pages of the notebook in his hand and said depressedly.

"That's right, it's free, but except for the two of you!"

Zhao Yin had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Now I am selling it to you at a low price, and when I wait until tomorrow, my words will definitely be in short supply, and when the time comes, I will never be able to buy it!" ”

"It's such a thing, and you're selling it consistently? Still in short supply? Are you a fool when you are a scholar in Chang'an City? ”

"That's right!"

"If you can really sell this book at a consistent price, and the supply exceeds the supply, I will eat it raw!"

Shopkeeper Lu shook the notebook in his hand and said with disdain.

The four books and five classics they sold were only four or five hundred texts each.

Just these few pages of broken paper, still plan to sell consistently?

What a whims!

"Eating books is not good for digestion......

Zhao Yin grinned, and, laughing very evilly, "That's it!" If this horse can be in short supply for three days in a row, then your Zheng family's pen-making workshop and the Lu family's ink-making workshop will belong to me, how about it? ”

"What if you're not patronized at all?"

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.

"Hahaha, if this horse loses, all the more than 20 workshops in this Wenmo Workshop will belong to you, how about it?"

"You said it yourself, in order to prevent you from defaulting, let's make a note first!"

Shopkeeper Lu seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, so he quickly found a pen and paper in the house and took the initiative to write a note!

Is this the bait?

Zhao Yin always thought that no one in Chang'an City would dare to bet with him at all!

I just wanted to try it this time!

Unexpectedly, there are really people who are not afraid of death?

And he was also very proactive, and wrote all the notes directly!

"What are you doing? Do you want to regret it? ”

Seeing him stunned in place, Shopkeeper Lu thought that he had repented, and immediately lowered his face!

"You...... Have you just returned from an out-of-town trip? ”

Zhao Yin glanced at the written note and asked suspiciously.

"Just arrived ...... last night!"

After the shopkeeper Lu nodded, he continued to urge, "It was Zhao Juma who said he was going to bet just now, what's the matter?" Don't you dare ...... now? ”

"Where, where ......!"

After Zhao Yin showed a weird smile, he waved his pen and signed the pledge.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, who will sign the two of us?"

After seeing Zhao Yin's quick signing, Shopkeeper Lu was relieved, turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Zheng and asked with a little humility.

"Huh? This one......! ”

The shopkeeper Zheng was embarrassed, and finally shook his head, "Zheng has no interest in betting, forget it!" ”

He has always been in Chang'an and has never left.

Therefore, I know everything about the big and small things that happen in Chang'an City!

First, the sons of the seven major families made a bet with them, and they were humiliated!

Then it was Steward Li of the Li Family Wine Shop who made a bet with him, and he was not only beaten, but also humiliated!

Then it was the imperial history of the court who made a bet with him, and the result was disgraced and dismissed!

It is said that the reason why he is a concubine is because the emperor lost Princess Changle to him when he was betting.

So much so that now in Chang'an City, no one dares to bet with it.

also quietly gave him the nickname of "God of Gamblers".

Therefore, even if he has a chance of winning, he will not bet on it.
