Two days later, Jia Wei got the revised drawing that Zhao Heng had asked a painter to revise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He immediately got out of school early and got into a carriage and went to the Moyun Bookstore next to the West Gate.

This bookstore is on the street, and he can pass by it every day to and from school, and he even went in to see it once.

Seeing that the shop was neat, the layout was the front store and the backyard, the front sold books, and the backyard was printed, which just came in handy, so I circled it in my mind in advance.

Gu Zude, the owner of the bookstore, has a good memory, he remembers that Jia Wei came once and bought a few books, and greeted him with a smile: "Childe is here again, please feel free to look at it, if you like it, you will be given a nine-percent discount this time!" ”

"Boss Gu, I'm not here to buy books this time." Jia Wei said with a smile.

"Oh? Could it be that boy who is here...... Are you here to engrave poetry collections and anthologies? Gu Zude was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked tentatively.

Some rich and noble sons are elegant, and sometimes they will engrave some of their own poetry collections, anthologies, etc., and Gu Zude's Moyun Bookstore has also taken over one or two such businesses, so he reacted quickly.

Jia Wei still smiled and shook his head.

"Who is that childe? Forgive the contemptible people who are confused, I really can't guess. When Gu Zude heard that he was not here to buy books, nor to engrave poetry collections and anthologies, he thought that Jia Wei was here to inquire about which books had not yet been put on the market, and his enthusiasm decreased by three points.

However, at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to talk about this, Jia Wei waved his hand and said, "Boss Gu, you don't have to guess, I guarantee you really can't guess." Let me tell you straight, I'm going to engrave books in your shop, but not the poetry and anthology you said, but the catalogue. I don't know if Boss Gu is interested? ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Zude left the thing he had just thought of behind him, and his face turned red with joy.

The catalogue is not comparable to a collection of poems and anthologies, and the catalogue means a large number of engraved patterns, which means that a large number of engravings are required.

He has been running a bookstore for many years, and he knows very well that the profits in this are by no means comparable to pure movable type printing dramas!

Compared with movable type printing, it is five times more profitable to say less, and ten times or twenty times more likely to be larger.

For a small bookstore owner like him, who can't even afford to be a shopkeeper, and has to be the shopkeeper himself, this is simply a windfall.

Gu Zude's heart jumped suddenly, he couldn't care about it for a while, he smiled and nodded again and again, "Interested, naturally interested!" ”

"Okay, since Boss Gu is interested, then I won't say much, look, this is the pattern of Guozijian, this is the general map, these are the architectural drawings, the two are printed separately, and they don't have to be bound together.

"I won't talk about the general plan, the architectural drawings must be bound in order, I have listed the order, you can bind in this order. The number of prints, 1,000 copies of each of the two kinds, gives you a month and a half. It must be well carved and the paper is of the highest quality. Boss Gu, can you do it? If you can do it, the business will be yours. ”

Jia Wei took out a stack of patterns from his arms without any delay, placed them on the counter of the bookstore, and gave Gu Zude a simple and concise command.

After saying his own conditions, Jia Wei cast his eyes on Gu Zude's face.

Wait for the other person to answer his question.

"Childe's orders, the contemptible people have written them down. Although the shop is small, but the printing of these patterns, there is no problem, the best engraving craftsmen in the capital, the contemptible people are very familiar, call a few, as soon as possible to make the engraving, will definitely be able to rush to print within a month and a half, bound into a book.

"However, in this way, the wages of the craftsmen are not a decimal...... Childe, look ......"

Gu Youde couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Jia Wei say that there were thousands of copies printed.

In his estimate, if the other party can print four or five hundred copies, it will be a big windfall.

But right now, thousands of copies are printed, which is definitely a big deal!

Unconsciously, he hunched up his waist and became respectful to Jia Wei, even speaking in a cautious tone.

"You don't have to worry about the money, Boss Gu, you can tell you the number."

Jia Wei said lightly, looking wealthy.

"Yes, yes." Finally talking about the silver money, Gu Zude trembled with joy, "Childe must also know that the catalogue is completely used for engraving, and the cost is expensive...... It is several times more expensive than ordinary books, but thanks to the contemptible people who look up to the contemptible people and come to take care of the business of the shop, how can the contemptible people make more money from the son?

In this way, the general plan and the architectural drawings are added together, which is regarded as one volume, and the shop ensures that the carving is excellent, and it is printed with the best bamboo paper, and each volume is four taels or three dollars of silver...... Childe, do you think so? ”

"Four, two, three silver? Boss Gu, this price is not low. Jia Wei stared at Gu Zude with a smile, shook his head lightly and said.

"Then how about removing the odds and counting four taels of silver?" Gu Zude was afraid that he would lose this business, so he didn't dare to say anything at all, so he immediately took the initiative to reduce three coins of silver.

"It's still too high." Jia Wei simply spit out four words.

"That's three taels of silver?" Gu Zude took a step back with some pain.

"That's it, Boss Gu, let me tell you a price, this price, you can follow if you want, and I won't be reluctant to ...... if you don't want to" Jia Wei was not satisfied with the price of three or two or eight yuan, so he simply interrupted Gu Zude's words.

"Childe, you say, you say." When Gu Zude heard this, he immediately bent his waist to ninety degrees.

He had to be careful to serve such a big customer, for a year or two, sometimes he didn't meet one.

"Three taels and five dollars of silver, not much money, not a lot of money. Boss Gu, you can do it. Jia Wei said unhurriedly.

As when selling jewelry, he naturally touched the market of the printed catalogue in advance.

In the big bookstore, he can pay back three taels of silver, which is good, but a small bookstore like Gu Zude has a much lower operating cost, and three taels and five dollars of silver also have a certain profit margin, so he set the price at this position.

not only did not let himself suffer losses, but also let Gu Zude earn some money.

This is different from the transaction between Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng is his tutor after all, he is generous, even if he suffers some losses, it doesn't matter.

“…… Yes. ”

Gu Zude was slightly disappointed when he heard the price of three taels and five yuan, but after calculating, in addition to paying the wages of the craftsmen, there was about a hundred taels of silver, which was quite considerable for a small shop like him, a month and a half.

So, he gritted his teeth, and after another pain in his flesh, he agreed without much hesitation.

Of course, his hope of making a windfall on Jia Wei was also disappointed.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thinking about it, Gu Zude feels a little lost.

"Boss Gu is refreshing." Jia Wei smiled at this time and casually praised the other party.

"Hehe, as long as the son is satisfied, it doesn't hurt if the contemptible person only earns some wages." Gu Zude said with a wry smile.

The other party seems to be rich and dignified, but in fact he is quite shrewd, which really surprised him.

"Boss Gu is polite. Well, it's not too early, and I should go. The deposit has to be paid, one percent, two percent? Jia Wei said, taking out a stack of silver tickets from the bottom of his sleeve.
