Chapter 15: The Piracy Storm (Part I)
"Sold all of them in less than two days?" , In the Lin Mansion, Xiao Lin Gongzi, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was also taken a big jump by the speed of the sale of this love letter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at the three young gentlemen in front of him, Lin Fu's eyes showed a little suspiciousness, could it be that these people played a small trick and did something unseemly?
"Seven thousand? Less than two days? At what price do you sell it? ”
"It's basically the full cost price, and I earned less than five taels of silver per book." , A young man with a delicate face and shrewd eyes next to Lin Pu responded. "According to my brother's orders, the first goal is to shoot as soon as possible."
This guy looks like a flower thief, with a glint between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is the youngest son of Liu Yiping, the head of the household department, and these boys often mess with Lin Pu all day long. What they did was all fresh clothes and angry horses, and when the book was printed this time, Lin Fu was always a little worried that they were going too far.
Now it seems that it is a little too worried. Although they are gentlemen, they have been exposed to it at home all the year round, and the pattern of a few is still good, just like the youngest son of Liu Yiping and Liu Shangshu in front of him, and another one, with a mediocre appearance, a national face, and a nephew of Lu Guogong's family.
The manuscript was handed over to Lin Pu to print, and he wanted to find his like-minded fox friends and dogs.
It just so happened that there was a spring incident a while ago, and now the discipline at home is strict, and even the money is tighter. As soon as they heard that the elder brother of the Lin family was willing to give money for them to print books, only twenty-five taels were charged for one book, and all the extra money went to Lin Pu, several people suddenly became energetic.
Seven or eight people worked together. The three stinkers can still set a Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Liu and Lu are both a little clever?
"I only earn five taels for a book, but I want to return twenty-five taels, seven thousand is 140,000 taels, you lost so much first, how do you plan to make it later?" , Lin Fu asked with a smile, he didn't underestimate the power of these sons and buddies united, but he was a little curious, they posted twenty taels for their own requirements to sell quickly, how to make up for this hole.
Hearing this question, the little young master of Lu Guogong's family smiled, "Brother Lin's book is not a forbidden book, it is printed and sold, but just in time for the Queen Mother to get married, Brother Lin published this book, although it is not a violation of the law, but it is not what the other side wants to see." ”
Lu Guogong is the father of Queen Lu, and the young master Lu in front of Lin Fu is the grandson of Lu Guogong. The news was not a secret, but it came out of his mouth and seemed more reliable.
"The queen wants to come forward to press my book?" , Lin Fu smiled lightly, he had already thought of this, the palace was going to be married, and the world outside was circulating his love letter to Muzi, and the face of the heavenly family was not good-looking.
Looking at His Majesty's meaning, it is to turn a blind eye, and only the Queen Mother cares about this face the most. His Majesty pretended to be stupid, and most of the people who shot were from the queen's side.
It's just that his books are selling so well now, where can he be suppressed? Mo said that this investigation and punishment of banned books is the work of the Beijing division to garrison the forbidden army, and the little prince will inevitably be biased towards himself and Muzi. Even if the Beijing garrison and forbidden army are willing to go all out, this has already spread the reputation, and with such a large market demand, it is destined that this collection of love letters of mine will not be clean at all!
Liu Sicheng's son smiled strangely, "Check it, let him check it!" In the past few days, our brothers have sold more than 7,000 copies in one go, and the supply exceeds demand, and the gang of booksellers are so angry that they must have got two copies now, and they are probably busy stealing them. ”
"Piracy?" , Lin Fu loves history, has written historical online articles, knows the abomination of piracy, does not spend a dime to steal all the results, he earns happiness, but the author does not get any benefits. He would rather readers contact him and send the original manuscript for free, rather than let readers see pirated copies and make wedding dresses for others.
Unexpectedly, there were pirated copies in this world, and the speed was so fast, Lin Fu was very surprised. "It's only been two days since it was printed, and there are pirated copies?"
"Brother, you don't know, Sanyuan Lianzhong, everyone has been looking forward to it for more than a hundred years, I just heard that you have a book manuscript on hand, and all the booksellers are like taking aphrodisiacs, and the first batch of them to be printed out, I think they have been bought by those booksellers who want to pirate." Lin Pu shook his head with a grin.
"It's just that they don't know that this time it's not an ordinary bookstore that prints and publishes books!"
"Yes, yes, you little devils are united, who can fight you?" , Lin Fu laughed, these sons and brothers either have many children and nephews in the family, and they don't get much attention, or their interests don't match their parents' requirements, and they are a little rebellious.
The elders didn't like it, and several people gradually got together, and their strength was very good when it came to terms of identity. As a great talent, Lin Fu did not look down on them, but was very peaceful with their peers, and several people became closer to him in a few days.
In addition, this manuscript is really in the snow, and several people are working hard to calculate, looking everywhere to see if they can deduct some silver.
"To tell you the truth, I heard a little movement from my uncle's side yesterday." , Young Master Lu Yue Lu opened his mouth and sold his uncle, "It is estimated that in the next few days, those books on the market will be seized on a large scale." ”
"So our brothers have thought about it, a few days ago, there were 7,000 copies out of the brain, this heat has been stirred, this time I will be quiet for a while, wait for the pirated version on the market, and then fry it, and then check it all over there, let's hold it for two or three days, and then come out to sell, and start the price!" , Liu Sicheng is worthy of being the nephew of the old man's family in the household department, and this little abacus is very exquisite.
Lin Fu laughed half to death when he heard this, these rabbit cubs are really bad, first provoke the heat, and then give them all the pit after the booksellers enter, and finally hunger marketing, everyone only listens, but they can't buy it everywhere, at this time, when the price is raised, it can still be in short supply, and the point posted before is nothing.
At that time, the pirated booksellers will be seized, and the only one left will be their own, which belongs to the entire monopoly, even if there are still some small businesses, it will not affect the overall situation.
"If you want me to say, there's another way." , Lin Fu smiled very sinisterly, "Let's pull some, fight some, there are nearly a million people in Kyoto, if this matter becomes lively, our progress alone will not be able to print so many quantities." It's better to find a bookstore, share some benefits for him, he will get some fame, let's divide the big head, and increase sales. Anyway, it's useless for us to ask for that name, and we don't even add a mark on the book. ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile, too, so far, this book is secretly printed, and it is convenient to find a printing workshop to get his name and benefit himself.
But what does this fight mean? Several people looked at the sinister smile on Lin Fu's face, and they always felt a little chilled.
