"Childe rest assured, we are also waiting for the contract to this point, I wait for nine people, some of the construction period has just arrived, some of the time is missing, we have left the money paid, and this Wang's ink workshop, this year's account book reconciliation has been completed, after all, Boss Wang has waited for me before, so I left today, and the handover work has been done properly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Mengjin sighed and waved the paper fan.

Several people left apologetically.

Wen Zhengming said: "The matter has come to this point, we still want to think of ideas to see if there is a way to regenerate." ”

Zhang Mengjin sighed: "This printing shop is not big, and the profits are small, those people are in charge here, originally they are busy here are short of manpower, and now they are gone, how to find someone who is familiar with the process to replace?" Eighty percent of this bookstore is closing. Horses can't be headless! ”

Li Xiang was far away from business in his previous life and this life, and he sighed helplessly: "The only way to do this is to hire a steward who is familiar with printing at a high price, and to operate it, and then we will think of ways to remedy it." The second is to close the workshop here when it is broken, and sell the land to minimize the loss. ”

Zhang Mengjin and the others looked at the workers who were talking around them, and they were worried, the first way was difficult, several stewards suddenly left together, and they all paid liquidated damages, it must be their peers who are doing black hands behind their backs, this is the most common thing, so if you want to hire someone else, it will be difficult. It's a waste of time and a lot of money. The second way, as Li Xiangzhi said, may be able to minimize the losses, but the forty or fifty employees in this workshop will be unemployed.

Zhang Mengjin said gloomily: "The matter has come to this, I can't do anything about it, turn it off!" ”

Qi Min said: "If it is closed, what will happen to these workers?" ”

"I can't help it, if it doesn't work here, I have to lose money step by step. It's better to cut off this business route for my father as soon as possible. ”

"Then can you bear that these people don't have anything to eat?"

Zhang Mengjin looked at Qi Min with a strange expression, "What if you can't bear it, can it be that you can use my family's money to support them here?" ”

Qi Min tilted his head and said, "Actually, I also have a book printing workshop in my family, which must be bigger than yours?" ”

Li Xiangzhi said disdainfully: "It's impossible, I see that your father-in-law's dress is average, and I don't want to be rich and noble." Don't sprinkle salt on Mengjin's wounds. ”

Qi Min's eyes widened and said, "I'm talking about my mother's family, my mother's family is rich." As long as I tell my father, I can call twenty or thirty craftsmen to come over. ”

The eyes of the three lit up and said, "Really? ”

"Of course, or ask my maid!" Qi Min's exquisite little face suddenly showed a proud look.

Li Xiangzhi and the three of them immediately looked at the silent maid in unison. The maid just nodded, without any expression.

Li Xiangzhi seriously suspected that there was something seriously wrong with this maid. But it's none of his business.

Zhang Mengjin stammered: "Hehe...... Second Mrs. Su, where is your maiden house? You and I are friends, aren't we? Why don't you introduce me and promote good things by the way, and I will definitely give a good reward. ”

"If you want to go to my house to talk about business, then don't think about it. As for remuneration...... Even if you give me your workshop, I don't want it. Qi Min's eyes rolled and looked at Li Xiangzhi: "Miss Ben...... Ah, no...... Mrs. Ben can directly ask someone to take care of your small workshop and help you get through the difficulties, but I have one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"I want Li Xiangzhi to publish a book!"

"Huh? Why? Li Xiangzhi said reflexively.

"Humph! I don't think you'......"

"That's the reason, too?" Li Xiangzhi was helpless.

Wen Zhengming pulled Li Xiangzhi and Zhang Mengjin over, and whispered excitedly: "Now I understand, I completely understand." ”

Li Xiangzhi and Zhang Mengjin were stunned: "What do you understand?" ”

"Why does Second Lady Su have to come out with us, she must rely on Mengjin!"

When the two of them heard this, they immediately shook their spirits and said, "Say! ”

Su Yinchen snubbed his wife because of Longyang's fetish, and it happened that the second lady of Su knew that Su Yinchen was in love with him. And Qi Min deliberately approached us because of jealousy, one was to entangle Mengjin, and the other was to torture each other, so as to revenge the sound dust......"

Looking at Wen Zhengming's look of enlightenment, Li Xiangzhi and Zhang Mengjin were dumbfounded.

"Shut up!"

"Fuck off!"

……………………

Li Xiangzhi said curtly: "Second Mrs. Su, I apologize to you, it was I who said a big thing, that ...... What, **************, heaven and earth, are all very good, very good-looking, they are all heirlooms. ”

"Phew! It's too false! You haven't even read a few pages of the book, and it's a masterpiece? Anyway, that's my condition, love to agree or not. Qi Min's face turned and ignored Li Xiangzhi.

Zhang Mengjin begged: "Brother Xiang helps!" I will definitely sell your masterpiece genuinely, and I will not take a penny of your profits. What do you think? ”

"Are you stupid? She said you believed it? Who knows if what she said is true, I think your family's workshop is big enough, if her family has it, how big will it be? ”

Qi Min was not happy, and said proudly: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the scholarly study in the east of the city to ask, the boss there Qi Fugui is the bookshop manager of my Qi family, and the large and small scholarly workshops, study, and painting studios in the east of the city are all the property of my Qi family." Just report my name and see if he has to call me little master. ”

"Scholarly?" Zhang Mengjin was stunned.

"Hey! Is this brand reliable? How's the business? Li Xiangzhi lowered his head and asked.

Wen Zhengming said: "Scholarly incense is indeed a big industry, and it is very active in the east of the city, with no less than 50 large and small calligraphy and painting workshops, earning one-third of the literati money in the east of the city. The head of his family is the Qi family, but I just don't know if it has anything to do with Qi Min. ”

Zhang Mengjin said: "I don't think it's bad, since she asked you to publish a book, it's not a matter of a day or two, during this period, you must call someone to come to me to do something, and you can know the truth at a glance, if it's fake, why lie to me and wait for this moment and a half?" ”

"That should be true. I'll go! That Su Yinchen is really blessed, the eldest wife has a private flower boat, and the second lady's family has these big industries. It's really a combination of wealth. It's not right, since people are so rich, they should pay attention to the right people, right? ”

Zhang Mengjin shook his head and said: "You don't understand this, I have a low status as a businessman, and I am just a middle-to-lower business family, but the average rich family has a deep understanding of the sufferings, and there is a lot of wealth, but it is inferior everywhere." Therefore, the richer they are, the more they want to wash away the smell of copper, so they will train the children of the clan to learn literature or make friends with the literary stream, and they also change their methods to get the opportunity to let their children and grandchildren participate in the imperial examination. Although Su Yinchen doesn't seem to be rich, he may come from some scholarly family. ”

"Oh? That's just as well! ”

"Hey! What are you three muttering? Have you discussed it in the end? Qi Minqiao's face was slightly sick, and he said impatiently.

Li Xiangzhi secretly thought: "Well, when the time comes, it won't be a matter to find a third-rate writer to buy out the new book." I'm so smart! ”

Li Xiangzhi had a plan in his heart, and suddenly smiled: "Okay! I agreed, didn't I just publish a book? Simple! I agree. But tomorrow it will be necessary to verify the personnel and the contract. To operate for a year, by the way to train talents! ”

"I don't understand this, whatever you want!"

Zhang Mengjin said happily: "The appearance is really righteous enough. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, isn't it just to publish a book? What's so hard about that? Li Xiangzhi responded happily.

Qi Minmei rolled her eyes and said, "No! After the book is published, I will read your manuscript, and don't try to fool me when the time comes. ”

Suddenly, Li Xiangzhi's smile froze on his face.

"No problem, no problem, it's a trifle! I believe that the literary style must be extraordinary, and this book will be a big hit when the time comes. Zhang Mengjin swore solemnly.

Li Xiangzhi pulled his face and wondered: "Do I really want to write a book?" I'll copy Tang San's way! ”
