"Dad, did you believe it this time? I said a long time ago that this business will not be lost. A young man in a blue robe shook a folding fan and said triumphantly.

A man in his fifties sitting across from him glared at him, "It's just your blind cat touching a dead mouse this time, what's there to be proud of." ”

"I don't like to hear this, what is a blind cat touching a dead mouse. If I wasn't sure that these two books would be a big hit, would I have patted my chest and promised it? ”

The housekeeper standing on the side smiled and said, "Master, this time the young master is really angry." More than 15,000 books were sold out in just half a month. This vision and courage are not much better than when you were young, and you are really a tiger father without a dog. ”

Lin Qingyuan, the owner of Changqingfang, said angrily: "If you praise him again, his tail is about to rise to the sky." ”

The young man in blue smiled and said, "Dad, although my experience is not as good as yours, my vision is still good. These two copies of "Xianxia" were highly recommended to me by my cousin when I visited my aunt in the capital last time. At first, I didn't think so, thinking that what a northerner wrote could compare to our works from the south, but it was just that people here in the capital were rare and weird.

But when I actually read it, I was amazed at the book. I've been reading the script for so many years, but it's the first time I've seen such a wonderful and fantasy work. Whether it is that unique style of writing or a novel plot, it is unprecedented.

I spent the day doing nothing, not even eating, just to finish the two books. This is the real waste of sleep and food. I believe that such a strange book, as long as people like to read the script, will be deeply attracted by it.

This "Xianxia" is the second work of the author Chi Fei, and his first work "Liang Zhu" is also amazing. Although I don't like to read the words of talented people, I can still tell whether a book is well written or not.

That's where I got the idea of taking these two scripts to our Changqingfang for sale. So when I went home, I dared to pat my chest and promise that the business would not be lost. Let me be right. ”

"Okay, okay, this time you're lucky, less proud."

Lin Qingyuan let his son send someone to the capital to wholesale these two scripts, and his original idea was actually to let his son hit a wall and let him know that business was not so easy.

Anyway, it's only a few thousand taels, so it's better to spend money to buy a lesson and let him learn to be obedient. After all, young people have to suffer more losses to be more mindful, and they will know the importance of being cautious in doing things in the future.

But he never expected that these two scripts from the capital would become popular inexplicably, and then they were sold out in only half a month, which really made him a little crying and laughing.

The so-called abnormal things must be demons, Lin Qingyuan is a good person, and he knows that a book is better written, and it is impossible for him to become like this without warning. Because the accumulation of word-of-mouth takes time, and it can't be piled up in half a month.

Thinking of this, he asked his son, "Tell me honestly, did you make any small moves behind your back?" Otherwise, these two books would not have become so popular in such a short period of time. ”

Lin Changsheng said a little proudly: "Dad is really shrewd, and he can see at a glance that things are not simple. Actually, I didn't do anything, I just asked a few readers to help recommend these two books. ”

"Those who are above the top of the book are willing to do that?"

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and not all scholars are rich, and there are many poor scholars and poor talents. As long as you spend some money to let them recommend it appropriately among their classmates, they are still willing, and it is not a traitor anyway. ”

"Even if they are willing to do this, will the other readers be willing to put down their books and read the script? Aren't they often talking about it as a poison that messes people's minds, and that those who read books should not look at it? ”

"Dad, you think too highly of readers. Do you really think they're all nerds who don't listen to anything outside the window and only read the books of the sages? In fact, among them, there are many people who like to read scripts, but they can't say it just for the sake of face.

Also, although they are all called scholars, there are still a few people who are actually determined to take the road of the imperial examination. Many people basically give up this path after failing the children's exam for several years in a row. These people are literate, and it is also very common for them to buy a book to read when they have money and leisure.

As long as these people know about the two books of "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia", and then arouse their interest to read them, I guarantee that they will buy the books.

In addition to this method, I also borrowed from the practice of Juyazhai in the capital, and invited a few storytellers to tell "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia" as stories in various restaurants and teahouses, so that more people can know these two scripts.

This two-pronged approach really made these two parts of the book popular in a short period of time. Dad, now you can take it. ”

"Serve your size, once proud, incoherent." Seeing that he was neither big nor small, Lin Qingyuan directly gave him a piece of corn.

Lin Changsheng touched the forehead that was knocked and complained: "Dad, don't keep doing it, we are Sven people, can you talk and not do it?" ”

"Less nonsense, let me ask you, what are you going to do next?"

"Since these two scripts are so easy to sell, of course they continue to be stocked. Don't you have a lot of familiar peers in Jiaxing? Let's just batch more this time. Half of it is sold in Suyuanfu, and the other half is distributed in Jiaxing, making the whole market up. By the way, I heard that the third volume of "Xianxia" in the capital has been released, and we just happened to buy it together. ”

"Since you are so confident, then you are fully responsible, including dealing with your peers in Jiaxing. Do you dare to try it? ”

"Come on, Dad, you just open your eyes and wait to count the money."

"Stinky boy, he's starting to get carried away again." Although he said that, Lin Qingyuan's eyes still unconsciously showed a smile of relief. As a father, he always wants his children to be better than the blue.

Lin Changsheng sighed and said, "Actually, what I want to do the most is to get the author Chi Fei under our Changqingfang." Don't look at our new books selling so well, in fact, we are just second-class dealers to make a difference, and the real money is Ju Yazhai.

As for who this Chi Fei is, Ju Yazhai is very cautious and refuses to reveal anything. But this is also normal, after all, it is a chicken that lays golden eggs, and who doesn't want to hide it tightly.

I once sent someone to check the details of this pool, and it was not easy to find out some news. It is said that this Chi Fei is a scholar, and it is unknown whether he has taken the imperial examination.

He didn't come forward in person, he just asked a teenager to submit the manuscript of "Liang Zhu" to several large bookstores in the capital, and this Juyazhai was the last one he voted.

At that time, after reading the manuscript in the first few bookstores, they all thought that the writing was very good, but the two sides did not negotiate because of the manuscript fee, and the result was not negotiated.

In the end, only the golden shopkeeper of Juyazhai knew the hero and bought the manuscript of "Liang Zhu" at a high price far exceeding that of the newcomer author, which led to the popularity of "Liang Zhu" in the future and the long-term cooperation with the author Chi Fei. The vicious eyes of the golden shopkeeper are really convincing.

The shopkeepers of the few bookstores who were unable to buy the manuscript at the beginning are really remorseful when they talk about it now. It was a big fish, but I let it go. If it were me, I would have been eager to hit the wall. ”

"That's all you found?"

"Yes, that's all there is to it. The only clue now is the little guy who contributed to Chi Fei at that time, and only by finding him can it be possible to find Chi Fei himself.

But the capital is so big, and it is not our territory, so it is not easy to find that person in the vast sea of people. ”

"So you mean, don't look for it?"

"It's not that I don't want to look for it, it's that I can't find it. I've thought of all the ways I can think of, but there's no way, so what else can I do? ”

"Hmph, don't you stinky boy always say you're smart? I don't think that's it. You just think about how to find someone, don't you think about waiting for the other person to appear? ”

When Lin Changsheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Dad, what do you mean?" ”

"You still don't understand that? Doesn't this set of "Xianxia" have to publish a new volume every month? As an author, Chi Fei always has to give new manuscripts to Juyazhai every month, right? Also, since this Chi Fei is the most popular author in Juyazhai, their attitude towards him must be different from other authors.

There are only two ways to deliver the manuscript, either Chi Fei sends someone to Ju Ya Zhai, or Ju Ya Zhai sends someone to Chi Fei to get the manuscript.

Chi Fei we don't know where it is, but Ju Yazhai can't run anymore, right? No matter what kind of delivery method it is, as long as you find someone to keep an eye on Juyazhai, especially the branch where the golden shopkeeper is located, you will one day wait for the fish to take the bait. ”

Lin Changsheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Dad, you are really treacherous and far-sighted, you can even think of such a method, it is amazing." ”

"You dare to say that Lao Tzu is treacherous, you stinky boy is dead, right?" Lin Qingyuan was so angry that he snatched the folding fan in his hand and beat him.

Lin Changsheng hurriedly screamed as he ran, "Dad, don't do it, you dissipate your anger first, the doctor said that your liver is hot, and if you are angry, it is easy to hurt your body." ”

"Fart, I'm the one who makes you angry." Lin Qingyuan saw that this kid was very slippery and couldn't catch up at all, so he was so angry that he simply threw the folding fan in his hand at him.

After Lin Changsheng dodged away very skillfully, he picked up the folding fan and said with a smile: "Dad, don't be angry, it's the child who can't speak, so I'm angry with you." It's me who was wrong, I must change, I must change, Dad, don't be angry. ”

"Humph!" Lin Qingyuan glared at him.

Lin Changsheng hurriedly staggered the topic and asked, "Dad, are you really sure to find that Chi Fei?" ”

Lin Qingyuan didn't bother to bother with him, and finally spoke: "It's not difficult to find someone, the difficulty is how to get the other party to leave Juyazhai and cooperate with us." ”

Lin Changsheng shook his fan confidently and said: "The world is bustling, but it's just for profit. The so-called wealth is moving, as long as the price we give is high enough and the benefits are enough, I don't believe that he will not come. ”

Seeing his son's high-spirited appearance, Lin Qingyuan didn't say anything more.

It's good for him to try, even if it's a wall, it's a good thing, let him know that this world is not as simple as he thinks.
