Chapter 150: The He Family Bookstore
Lin Mo looked at He Ren with a helpless expression: "What do you want for ten words, and what kind of money do you want for a woman?" I can't open this mouth? He Ren's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he said in an unbelievable tone: "You said that the person just now was a woman? ”
Lin Mo glanced at He Ren with disdain: "It's a shame that you run into the pile of women every day, you can't tell whether people are men or women, okay, don't worry about this, it's not early, let's go." As he spoke, he took He Ren to Hexian County.
Qin Yi was very surprised when he looked at Lin Mo's words in the cabin, and then smiled: "It seems that I have met a strange person this time?" The subordinate on the side said: "Boss, are you talking about the boy just now?" Qin smiled and said nothing, but then he thought of something and said with a restrained smile: "If what he said is true, then we have to make plans." The old servant nodded and then retreated, and the young man on the side sighed and said, "When is such a day a head?" The voice was crisp and knew that it was a woman as soon as he heard it, Qin Yi frowned and said, "Don't say this again in the future." The young man sighed and nodded in agreement. Qin looked at the sunset outside the window, and his eyes were very lonely.
Lin Mo and He Ren sat in the car and ran towards the city, and He Ren kept muttering to himself along the way: "How can it be a woman?" Lin Mo ignored him, opened the curtain on the car window and looked out the window, at this time, Lin Mo saw a house outside the window from a distance, and a large group of people came out of it, seemingly as helpers from work. Lin Mo asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?" How could so many people come out together? ”
He Ren looked at the place Lin Mo pointed to, took the house and said with a smile: "That is my He family's bookstore, which is the place where books are printed." When Lin Mo heard this, he immediately remembered, this He family is still a big bookseller. So he asked the coachman to stop and pulled He Ren to take a look. He Ren looked helpless, what is there to see in this place.
He Ren reluctantly took Lin Mo to the bookstore, this bookstore is very large, there is no wall inside, it is all supported by pillars, like a factory in the previous life. In the bookstore, rows of long cases are neatly arranged, with books that have already been printed and some books that have not yet been bound. At this time, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over and asked respectfully, "What do you have to tell Childe when he comes here today?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, this is my friend Lin Mo, I'll take him to see what this bookstore is all about." He Ren turned to Lin Mo and introduced, "This person's name is He San, and he is the manager of this bookstore. He San bowed to Lin Mo and then said with a smile: "Since Lin Gongzi is interested in this, then the villain will introduce Gongzi to him." As he spoke, he took Lin Mo and He Ren to look around in this bookstore.
There are more than 400 helpers in this bookstore, with 1,500 books published every day, and nearly 600,000 books of all kinds a year.
Lin Mo couldn't help but blush a little when he thought of this, this He family is really a rich party, he has more than 1,000 taels a month, and people have to have tens of thousands of taels a month, just sit at home and count the money. He San continued to introduce the bookstore, which is roughly divided into two parts: one is printing and the other is copying.
Engraving is to print books with engraving plates, brush a layer of ink on the engraving plates, paste the paper, and then brush them with a brush, the words on the engraving plate are printed on the paper, and then bind after a copy is printed, and the process is simple. After all, some literati who buy books feel that there is no beauty in printing square words, and it is not as comfortable as hand-copying, and hand-copied books are also a common gift among literati.
Of course, the efficiency of hand-copied books is high, and a skilled helper can print six or seven volumes a day for a book of 10,000 characters, and a maximum of two volumes a day can be written. Therefore, if a book is printed for four or five pieces of silver, and the handwritten book is two taels. Lin Meng listened to He San's introduction sincerely, and looked at the books and engravings from time to time, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He San saw it and asked suspiciously, "Childe, what's the problem?" ”
Lin Mo said: "This printing is too slow, it has to be changed." He Ren and He San were a little puzzled when they heard this, and He San asked: "Childe, my bookstore is less than 1,45 or more than 2,000 per day, this amount is already the limit, and there is no more than me in the entire Jiangnan, which is not slow." ”
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "This way of printing books has to be changed." Then he explained: "For example, if we print the Analects, a plate of 100 characters, it takes 120 or 30 engravings to print, and if you print a whole book by one person, if ten people print this book, you need ten sets of engravings, each of them printing their own book, and after printing it, it is too wasteful of time." Then he continued: "It can be like this, the same is to print a volume of the Analects, everyone will print one page of one of them, and then a special person will collect and bind, so that a set of engraving plates will be shared, after all, this engraving is not cheap, and it saves a lot of steps, simplifies the process, like flowing water, it is completed on everyone once, it is convenient and fast." I call this an "assembly line", what do you think? He Ren and He San looked at Lin Mo motionless at this time, their eyes full of disbelief.
In the end, He San was the first to react and clapped his hands and smiled: "Haha, what an assembly line, Lin Gongzi is talented, He San bows to him." Then he bowed deeply to Lin Mo. He Ren also patted Lin Mo on the shoulder heavily and said, "Fortunately, brother, you don't go against my He family, otherwise my He family will really lose." But if this is really lost, my He family is also convinced. Lin Mo smiled: "What you said made me regret saying this a little." The three of them laughed, and Lin Mo continued: "There are still some things that need to be changed." ”
"Brother, slow down, He San hurry up and take a note, don't be mistaken." He Ren hurriedly instructed He San. Only then did He San react, and quickly took out his pen and ink to carefully write down Lin Mo's words.
Lin Mo then picked up a book and said: "You see that the binding of this book is to paste the pages of the book on a plain paper long scroll in turn, each page is full of text on both sides, and the long scroll can be turned to read, in fact, it is still a long scroll, it still looks a little inconvenient, and the number of pages is also very small, a "Analects" has to have two or three volumes, too troublesome." It is better to number the pages of the book first, pierce a book with nails and weave it with thread, which is stronger and more convenient, and the number of pages is more. As he spoke, he took out a few blank pages of paper and demonstrated. The two of them understood the key at a glance, and He Ren excitedly patted Lin Mo on the shoulder and said, "Brother really has you, you and I will be different in the future."
Half-brothers. ”
Lin Mo hurriedly pushed away and said, "Are you going to scrap my shoulder?" As he spoke, he opened his collar and saw that it was already red. He Ren looked embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, brother, I was so happy just now, I lost my sense of proportion, and I didn't take it seriously." Go to the Qinglou tonight, let's be happy first, and when we get to Yunzhou, I will wrap the entire Zuiying Building and let the girls serve you alone, how about it? . ”
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it, I have to go back to deal with the restaurant quickly, and I'll talk about it later." After saying goodbye, he immediately turned around and left first, he was really afraid that He Ren would do something bad again. He Ren watched Lin Mo leave, turned to look at He Sandao: "Don't publicize Lin Mo's words just now, go back to the house with me to report to my father, this matter has to be decided by him." At this time, He Ren's face was full of seriousness, and he had long lost his previous frivolity.
He San nodded, and then the two drove straight to He Mansion. Lin Mo returned to the restaurant, Zhao En had already taken the guys to tidy up the restaurant, and when the guys saw Lin Mo, they hurriedly shouted respectfully: "The owner is good." Lin Mo looked at the busy guys and smiled: "I will leave it to you here in the future." Then one of them gave out a tael of silver and said, "This is a reward for you, you go back first, and you will come back after two days." "Since I quickly took the money and retired.
Zhao En smiled: "This restaurant in He County is really unexpectedly smooth." Lin Mo smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I didn't expect that the He family's side would be arranged, which made me a little flattered." Zhao En was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Xiao Mo, what do you mean by this?" ”
Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "Can't you see that this restaurant and that guy were all arranged by the He family?" Seeing that Zhao En was still a little puzzled, Lin Mo explained: "We were brought here by He Ren just after we came today, and we happened to meet this place in the sublease, and the lease notice was also written in a hurry, the ink did not dry, and even the words were written incorrectly, which is too urgent, if it has been posted for a long time, someone must have pointed out the mistake, and it is estimated that it is so anxious to paste it before us." This shopkeeper is willing to sell it to us for two hundred taels, this restaurant is so big, it will be sold for two hundred taels, even if it is in the face of He Ren, this is still too low, and this person has to move away with his family, why care about the face of the He family, can earn a point is a point. ”
Then Lin Mo said: "These guys all came after the recruitment notice was posted, and how did they know that I was the owner?" Zhao En reacted at this time, he hadn't told them that Lin Mo was the owner at all, it seemed that someone had already explained it clearly, and he had figured it all out at once.
"Xiao Mo, who is doing this?" Zhao En asked in surprise. Lin Mo nodded. Zhao En was even more puzzled: "Then why don't you explain it to him directly?" We don't need his family to take care of it in the first place. ”
Lin Mo said helplessly: "It's really hard to say this clearly, after all, this is also a piece of people's hearts." Zhao En said at this time: "Then these guys are not reliable?" Do you want to drive them away? ”
