Yashilin Bookstore.

Chen Dongzhu came to the bookstore every day, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "The author of the Great Sage Demon Descending Legend, is he here today?" ”

The guy was stunned and shook his head.

The expression on Dong Zhu Chen's face was a little disappointed, the author of "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon" did not keep the address, which meant that they could only wait for him to come to the door next time.

If during this time, other bookstores reached a cooperation with him, wouldn't they lose an opportunity to make money in vain?

Chen Dongzhu was a little anxious, but he could only say helplessly: "If he appears again, you must leave him behind and send someone to inform me!" ”

......

In the past few days, in addition to telling stories to Qing'er, Gu Bei has been writing manuscripts every day.

Bai Luoshi came twice, each time she came to see Gu Bei, talked to him, and then hurried away, not knowing what she was busy with every day, looking very tired.

It wasn't until today that he finished writing "The Story of the West Chamber" and checked and revised it from beginning to end.

Thinking of the manuscript that was voted out, Gu Bei took the manuscript and took Qing'er out of the house.

West Market, Yashilin Bookstore.

Chen Dongjia sat on a chair, sometimes glancing in the direction outside the door, looking for it, and there was anxiety in his eyes.

It's been seven days, and it's been seven days since that person submitted the manuscript of "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon" here.

One day in these seven days, a friend came to the door as a guest, and accidentally found the manuscript, and immediately read it fascinated, and the friend with a strong desire for knowledge asked him about the follow-up story every day. He was also very anxious in his heart, but the author of the book seemed to have disappeared, if it weren't for the fact that "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon" did not appear on the market, the last glimmer of hope in his heart would have been dashed long ago.

At the door, a young man dressed as a scholar in a white robe led the maid in.

This is the last bookstore Gu Bei walked into, and the previous ones all made it clear that the story of "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon" was written inexplicably and could not attract people, so let him find another place, if this one also gave the same answer, he would have to think of other ways.

Seeing him walk in, the man jumped up from his chair and shouted, "The proprietor, it's him." ”

Chen Dongzhu's spirit was shocked, and he immediately walked out, walked in front of Gu Bei, and said in a low voice: "The Legend of the Great Sage and Demon Suppression is written by Your Excellency?"

Gu Bei looked at Proprietor Chen, nodded and said, "It's me." ”

"Please take a seat, Chen Dongzhu stretched out his hand, turned his head to the guy and said, "Good tea." ”

After the tea was served, Chen Dongzhu looked at Gu Bei and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Your Excellency calls it?" ”

"Mu Xiaochen." Gu Bei drank tea and said slowly.

"Mu Gongzi, I have already read the "Legend of the Great Sage Demon Subjugation" you wrote, the story, it's okay, but I don't know how many volumes there are in this "The Legend of the Great Sage Demon Subjugation?" Chen Dongzhu went directly to the main topic.

Gu Bei thought about it in his heart and said, "Thirty volumes." ”

"Thirty volumes?" Chen Dongzhu's eyes lit up, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Gu Bei and said with a smile: "Submit this "Legend of the Great Sage Demon Descending" to our store for printing, and for each volume, I will pay Gongzi five taels of silver as a pen, how about it?" ”

Without waiting for Gu Bei to answer, Chen Dongzhu looked at him and said, "Presumably, Gongzi also knows the market of this industry very well, and five taels of silver is already a very high price." ”

On the day of submission, Gu Bei had already learned about the market.

A roll of five taels of silver in the entire industry is indeed not a small amount, and most people can only get a pitiful amount of money to make ends meet.

It's just that five taels of silver is not a small amount for ordinary people, but for him, it is of little use.

He also needs a large amount of silver as a business start-up capital, he has his own blueprint, although he can also withdraw it at will in the Bai family's account office, but he does not plan to go to the Bai family to get this silver. What's more, although the Guogong Mansion has an old man who is powerful and powerful, the old man has never used the power in his hands to fill his own pockets, and he does not allow the Guogong Mansion to use his power to accumulate wealth.

The Guogong Mansion looks glamorous on the surface, but there is also a lot of suffering in it. The long house is directly related, the side is by, and there are many entrances,,, but the Guogong Mansion is a big business, and so many people have a lot of expenses for eating and drinking in just one year. Although there are fiefs, since the time of the first generation of grandfathers, there have been strict orders to treat tenants well, so the income is very limited. There are occasional rewards in the imperial court, plus a lot of money, and the Guogong Mansion is a big business, not only for food and clothing, but also for annual human exchanges, relatives and friends, and congratulatory gifts from relatives and friends.

Qing'er grew up with the eldest lady since she was a child, although she is a slave, she is better than a sister, so the eldest lady does not avoid her. That's what Qing'er told him.

When Gu Bei listened to it at that time, he was a little stunned.

"The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon can be handed over to you for exclusive printing, and the profits will be six for you and four for you." Gu Bei pondered for a moment and said.

"What?"

Chen Dongzhu stood up directly from the chair, he thought that for the scholar in front of him, five taels of silver would already make him grateful to himself.

Unexpectedly, he actually opened his mouth, and the profit he made was sixty percent.

"Questions?" Gu Bei stood up and said, "If there is a problem, I will find another family." ”

Gu Bei didn't look at Chen Dongzhu, and walked out of the door without hesitation.

"Wait a minute." Chen Dongzhu's face changed, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ten taels and one volume, it can't be higher..."

In the past few days, he has already seen the true value of this manuscript, and if it can be operated exclusively and printed as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Once missed, such a good opportunity will only cheapen others.

Naturally, he would not watch such an opportunity slip away from him.

Gu Bei didn't stop, but his steps were faster.

Chen Dongzhu hurriedly chased out and said, "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again, and we can discuss it again!" ”

Gu Bei looked back at him, thought for a while, and said: "The profits from printing, I will be six and you four, if Chen Dongzhu finds it unacceptable, I will find another family." ”

Chen Dongzhu bit it: "Six si divides, I am six and you are four." ”

"......" Gu Bei continued to walk forward.

"Don't go, it's fifty-fifty, there's only so much." There are more and more lively people gathering around, and even the shopkeepers of several other bookstores are coming this way, Chen Dongzhu made a choice in his heart and quoted the final reserve price.

Gu Bei suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Proprietor Chen is refreshing, and his words are certain. ”

Looking at the smiling face of this scholar, Chen Dongzhu didn't know that he had been fooled.

Dejectedly, Chen Dongzhu and Gu Bei walked into Yashilin, and instructed the guy, "Close the door." ”

Only then did he turn his head to look at Gu Bei and said, "Mu Gongzi, this request of yours is really a bit excessive, in our industry, there has never been such a thing." ”

Gu Bei handed him the other two volumes he had written, and said, "You can print these three volumes first and see the effect, and then we will discuss it." ”

"Five days." After Chen Dongzhu took it, he said: "Give me five days, the first batch can be printed, and I also ask Gongzi to leave his address, and Chen will visit him in person at that time." ”

"No need." Gu Bei waved his hand and said, "When the time comes, I will come to you." ”

After thinking about it, Chen Dongzhu nodded and said, "Then it's a word." ”

Gu Bei walked out of Yashilin with Qing'er with a spring breeze on his face.

On the way, Qing'er asked curiously: "Uncle, why don't you insist on six sii divisions!" The maid estimated that the proprietor Chen would also accept it. ”

Gu Bei shook his head and said: "Qing'er, my uncle insists on six sii shares, then Chen Dongzhu will accept it, but Chen Dongzhu's final offer is quoted through gritted teeth, and my uncle believes that it should be his reserve price." Besides, businessmen seek profits, if the profits are less? Will he still push books with his heart? So when you see it, you can accept it, and you have to give him some sweetness. ”

"Oh, my uncle knows so much..."Qing'er looked at Gu Bei and worshipped.

"That's fine! Isn't it time to return the IOU to my uncle? "The IOU is an eternal pain in Gu Bei's heart, and the interest is a trivial matter, mainly because the IOU is related to his face.

"Ahh No..."Qing'er jumped up like she had been stepped on by her tail, clutching her chest.

"......" Gu Bei looked at the girl covering her chest and rolled her eyes.

Just a girl with no meat, will my uncle insult you?

Hum.

If it's indecent or indecent, your eldest lady goes...
