Chapter 177 This book is worth six pounds
However, now that Mr. Gao has taken the initiative to come to the door, it is difficult for him to turn him away. So he smiled, and Bai He said indifferently: "Since Uncle Shi likes it, then sell it, but you can't sell it until the second lady is out of the customs, and I ask Uncle Shi to understand this." He smiled a little embarrassed.
Mr. Gao expressed his understanding and said busily: "That's nature. Then thank you sir for your righteousness! After a pause, he continued, "As for profit sharing, sir, although rest assured, my old pen only needs to recover the cost, and the profits from the sale belong to Mr. ”
"No, no, no, the younger generation and the noble are friends for eight worships, how can Uncle Shi be busy in vain." Bai He shook his head, thought about it, and said seriously, "Since Uncle Shi can afford this book for the younger generation, then he is in business, after deducting the cost, the income is fifty-fifty, what do you think?" ”
"How can this be done? It's an honor to be able to sell Mr.'s masterpiece, how can the old man share Mr.'s money again? Mr. Gao said sincerely.
Bai He turned his face and said deliberately: "Money is easy to obtain, and love is priceless." If Uncle Shi is bound to trap the younger generation in injustice, then it is okay if this book is not sold, Uncle Shi, please go back, and this matter will not be mentioned again. ”
"This ......"
No one will be disgusted with money, Mr. Gao hesitated for a moment and finally happily chose to give in, "Okay, then accept Mr.'s love." ”
After the two looked at each other and smiled, then Mr. Gao asked again: "Then I don't know the price of this book, what is Mr.'s opinion?" ”
“…… Let's count it. Bai He groaned for a moment, then raised a finger, "Ten taels of silver a piece." ”
He didn't care about this little money at all, he originally wanted to say one or two silver, but after thinking about it, even a big master like Li Yuanfang took this book seriously, that is the rhythm of this book! So sell it and let those people in the rivers and lakes fall for it...... Oh no, cultivating together is also for the benefit of the people, haha! If it's not expensive, how can it seem that our books are too high, right?
"Ten taels of silver a piece?!" Mr. Gao was taken aback by the price.
Bai He thought about it and felt that this price was a bit outrageous, after all, it was a thousand copper coins, enough for half a month's food expenses for an ordinary family, so he said: "If it is high, in fact, it can also be adjusted downward, such as five taels of silver a ......."
As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard Mr. Gao say: "So low! ”
Shirakawa: "...... What do you think? ”
Mr. Gao: "......"
This is a little embarrassing, the two of you look at me, and they are shocked by each other's words.
In the middle of the ring, Mr. Gao was the first to come back to his senses and said earnestly: "It is a good thing that Mr. has the world in his heart and is considerate of all the people." However, as the so-called Buddha is destined to be a person, Master Xuanzang was the younger brother of Taizong, determined to educate the people, and he still had to go through all the hardships to learn the scriptures in the west, so that the scriptures were precious. And sir, although your "Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is a script, but the Taoist essence contained in it, its value is not at all under the Sanzang Sutra, if it is too cheap, I am afraid that the world will not be able to understand Mr.'s painstaking efforts! Money and silver are still secondary, but if this causes the pearl to be dusty, it is really sad! ”
It was the first time I saw someone who could talk about Wang Po's melon selling so freshly and refinedly, Bai He was speechless, so he asked: "Uncle Shi, what do you think, this book ...... How many copies should I sell? ”
"In the opinion of old decay and foolishness, there will be at least one hundred and two cases!" Mr. Gao said solemnly.
"One hundred and twenty-one! Uncle Shi, you ...... Is it serious? ”
"Old decay is not good at laughing."
Bai He: "......"
Get!!
He was startled just now, and now he was scared back again, when is it really wronged?
It took a lot of effort for Shirakawa to confirm that he was not taking the opportunity to take revenge, but was discussing the topic very seriously. Then he was stunned for a while, he finally chose to believe in Mr. Gao's "foolish opinion", and said with a wry smile: "Then according to what Uncle Shi said, the younger generation has no opinion......" Thinking to himself, Lan Qingming said that the money of scholars is easy to make in these years, and now it seems to be true. But...... I'm afraid that only nerds who have broken their brains will spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a copy, right?
Mr. Gao said: "This is very good, then it is decided." If you look back, you will have someone send the contract over for Mr. to see, and if there is no opinion, the matter will be decided. ”
"Well said, well said...... Uncle Shi, you can just watch it......"
"If there is nothing else, then the old man will take his leave first."
"Well, go slowly, I won't be far away......"
After sending Mr. Gao away, Bai He weighed the two books in his hand and suddenly felt a little heavy.
The so-called half a catty eight taels, half a catty eight taels, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, one catty is equal to sixteen taels. These two books are worth two hundred taels, and one weighs six pounds. Well, considering that this is a hardcover version, it should be a little heavier......
With two books in his hand, Shi Shiran returned to the small villa in the West Chamber, and Bai He only felt that he couldn't even move his steps.
"Yuan'er, the four treasures of the study are waiting!"
Now that we have decided to enter the publishing industry, we must not be sloppy, but we must show some sincerity, such as the "copyright" issue that has not attracted enough attention in this era.
"Come, sit down, let the young master serve my good circle today. Although I'm only eight years old, young master, but that handwriting, hahahaha...... You know......"
Bai He smiled like his good brother three rolls, while rubbing the shoulders and pinching the back of the little Lori, while taking the opportunity to do the fact of rubbing the oil - no way, although he has secretly practiced the traditional Chinese characters, but after all, the skills are still shallow, and he can't be on the stage for the time being, so he has to let the little Lori ghostwrite.
Confined to etiquette, little Lori wants to refuse, but where can she screw this guy's cheekiness? was scratched a few times by his hands up and down, and suddenly his whole body was soft, and he had to obey with shame. But that little thing between men and women, once it pierces through that membrane...... I mean window paper.,Actually, it's also a fun little game.,Little Lori symbolically smacked twice.,It's also fun.。
It took a long time to write an article on the importance of "copyright" and the technical theory of anti-piracy. Bai He looked at it and nodded, feeling very satisfied: Although it is a little utilitarian, but in business, I believe that Mr. Gao will definitely understand our hard work.
Then he thought about it, and asked Xiao Lori to add a "late pen" production method, anyway, the book is sold, so it is okay to sell some pencils as a head, so it should benefit the people.
Privately, he actually wanted to make a papermaking technique, but after looking at the two collector's editions in his hand, he still dispelled this idea - the paper in this world is already very high-end, let's not be ugly.
After writing and packing the envelope, he sent it to the old pen house. As a result, when the next person came back, he actually brought a reply letter, the content of which was exactly what Mr. Gao said, and he also signed the famous painting very intimately, in duplicate.
The old man is different, this efficiency is simply not too high! Bai He first praised it, then looked at it, no problem, so he pressed his thumb, and asked his subordinates to run again, and sent one of them back to Mr. Gao, and it was done.
At this point, everything is ready, just waiting for the customs clearance.
Before the red handprint on the contract had dried, Uncle Shen, who had already been hung up on his appetite, suddenly walked in.
"Ahem!"
With a dry cough, the master and servant who were flirting and scolding were a little forgetful hurriedly sat down, Bai He was thick-skinned, and asked casually: "Uncle Shen is here, I don't know what to do?" ”
Little Lori was thin-skinned, and threw down a sentence shyly, "Yuan'er will prepare tea for you!" Then he fled.
Uncle Shen listened intently for a while, made sure that she had gone away, and then found a seat to sit down, and then glanced at Bai He very meaningfully.
Bai He was a little creepy by him, thinking that the second housekeeper wouldn't be seeing our son-in-law stealing the maid behind the back of the young lady, and wanted to make a small report, right? was thinking about it, but noticed that his gaze kept drifting on the two collector's editions that he had been sneaking on, and that look was simply prostitution, not floating!
couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then it became clear in an instant, and scolded secretly: Damn! Dare to love for this!
"It seems that he is also hungry......
"This is what I specially ordered for the second lady, and no one has seen it except for the craftsman who printed it in Lao Bizhai. But Uncle Shen, if you like it, it's okay to take it first and enjoy it, I don't think the second lady will mind. Bai He snickered in his heart, but emphasized the word "mind" in his mouth.
I don't mind, that is, I will.
Uncle Shen's face suddenly turned red: "Cough! ”
He was originally tickled by Mr. Gao in the front hall, and now he came to the West Chamber, and he really came here for these two books. But when he heard Bai He say this, he remembered the face of the second young lady, and suddenly lost his courage.
To blame, it's just that this book is forced too high, and even his age can't help but hook it, I can't forget it, but there is no repercussions, hang people!
"Since it's a gift that you specially prepared for the second young lady, uncle, it's not good to ...... it anymore Hehe......"
With a sneer, Uncle Shen's eyes moved away from the collector's plate with great difficulty, and suddenly the paper contract came into view, he glanced at it, and suddenly a spirit exclaimed: "Uncle, what are you...... Contract? ”
"Huh? Yes, what's the problem with the contract that Mr. Gao just sent? ”
"One hundred taels for one book, or five or five for two families?"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"Shhh
Uncle Shen gasped on the spot, as if he had seen all the bookstores in Jinling change their surnames to "Lao Bi Zhai" overnight, and then according to the urine nature of the uncle's hands-off shopkeeper, he got the house and sent someone to take over the scene in a hurry, and couldn't help but tremble a little: "I said uncle, you ...... Oh no, it's you, can you say hello to the house before you make such a big move next time? Miss Linglong just sent a message back saying that she will be back tomorrow, even if you are a day late! Now, now the house really can't spare manpower! ”
"What's that?"
