Chapter 684: Theater Talk
After parting more than half a month ago, Hugo had been stuck in his throat because he couldn't express his gratitude in front of her, and now that he finally saw him again, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly rushed up the stairs.
Ye Feng's sailing plan was stranded again, mainly because the clansmen led by Shu Gen kept rejecting him on the grounds that the ship had many faults that needed to be slowly eliminated in order to prevent him from boarding the sailing ship.
After all, he is caring about himself for the house, and Ye Feng is very temperless.
It dragged on for more than half a month, which also made him the most idle person in the tribe and a frequent visitor to this theater.
There was no one chatting to the left and right, and just when he was bored, Hugo happened to catch his eye, so he quickly beckoned him up.
"Superior! Expert! I have finally met you, and I have benefited a lot from your words, please accept this gift from me! ”
Hugo rushed up all the way, and before he had time to breathe, he quickly bent his knees.
Ye Feng was stunned by such a scene-what the hell is a master? What's going on?
He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly got up and hugged him, and hurriedly said, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Why do you kneel when you see someone? ”
Hugo hurriedly said: "Master, if it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to write such a perfect book, and I don't have anything good to repay you, only a big gift to show my deep gratitude!" ”
After saying that, his knees weakened, and he was about to kneel down again.
Ye Feng immediately couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly helped him up again, saying, "If you really want to repay me, then don't kneel!" ”
……
After tossing for a long time, Ye Feng finally let him sit on the chair.
In order to maximize the profits, the theater divides the seats of the guests into two grades, one is ordinary, that is, a long bench is placed in front of the stage, and a bench can sit a lot of people, which is suitable for those guests who do not have high grade requirements and do not have a few money.
There are a few VIP seats on the observation deck on the second floor, which is equipped with a small table, and a variety of snacks and drinks are placed on the table according to the needs of the guests.
It's very simple to get treated like this – just pay for it.
Hugo had obviously never sat in such a position, and he was a little overwhelmed to sit on it, and he was groping around with his hands, not knowing where to put it.
Ye Feng leaned back in his chair, looking very relaxed, without a trace of restraint at all - this theater was mainly made by this product, and he didn't need money to play here.
"You don't need to be nervous, treat this place as if it were your home, relax!"
Ye Feng said, so he hurriedly made him a cup of tea and said, "Let's drink tea!" Ye Feng's kind attitude made Hugo gradually get used to it, he politely thanked him, and gently began to drink tea.
"Seeing you like that just now, did you write a new book?" Ye Feng hurriedly found a topic.
As soon as Hugo heard the topic of writing a book, his whole person immediately danced with his eyebrows, and even said a few more words, and hurriedly said: "I am very confident that this book will sell well and bring me a lot of profits!" ”
When he said this, his words changed sharply: "In order to express my gratitude to the master, I am going to give sixty percent of the profits earned from this book to the master, how about the master?" ”
When Ye Feng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, I don't lack this money, if you really want to repay me, then you can write a book and show the best works in front of the clansmen, so that I will be satisfied! ”
Hugo nodded desperately.
The master is really a master, where can he look down on the money of a layman like him, which makes him a little ashamed.
"And what does your new book look like?" Ye Feng asked again.
Hugo then spoke in detail about his new book.
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel refreshed after listening to it, and immediately became interested in his book, and vaguely felt that he would not go directly to the street as usual this time.
He hurriedly said, "So have you finalized it?" If so, is there a real book? ”
However, his words seemed to add a negative buff, which made Hugo, who had just been dancing with his eyebrows, dim in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly said, "What? Is there something wrong? ”
Hugo showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "Yes, it is a question asked, whether it is big or not, and whether it is small or not!" ”
He raised his right hand, rubbed his thumb and forefinger, and said, "That's money!" ”
"Money?" Ye Feng didn't know anything about this, and hurriedly asked, "Does it cost a lot of money to publish a book?" ”
Hugo nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, this is a lot of money, first of all, the purchase of paper, and the manual copying of books, these are all big money!" ”
Ye Feng remembered that in ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped, books were also a very expensive luxury, and it was difficult for ordinary poor families to afford it, even if there was an opportunity for the imperial examination, a carp to jump into the dragon gate, but the expensive price of books made many poor disciples sigh and be blocked out of the threshold under the open door.
"The most expensive cost is in labor, right?" Ye Feng asked with a frown.
The schools set up by the tribe were completely compulsory and did not charge a penny from the people, so that most of the tribesmen could read a few words.
But this does not mean that you can learn well and learn completely, and many people of the tribe write their own handwriting, and even he can't recognize them.
To be able to write beautifully, it is an exaggeration to say that it is as precious as the giant pandas of later generations.
As a result, the excess labor cost accounts for the majority of the cost.
Hugo nodded and said: "Master, you are right, labor costs are the majority!" ”
"So?" Ye Feng's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and then he asked, "Do you have a way to reduce labor costs?" ”
Hugo shook his head with a wry smile on his face: "If I had a way, then I wouldn't be so worried!" ”
Ye Feng nodded, and immediately fell into deep thought, and after a while, he hurriedly shouted: "Little Er! ”
"Alas, here it is!"
As soon as Ye Feng's words fell, a high-pitched voice came, but the man who still looked thin appeared in front of the two of them.
"Two guest officers, do you need anything?"
