Chapter 13. A book of 100 runs (II).
What is the concept of 100 times?
The Xiao family is a large family in Huanzhou, and the cash in their hands is less than 200 yuan; Xiao Shenyan worked up and down Shanxian County, and bribed the people in the yamen to forge household registration for Xiao Mo and the other three, but it took more than 80 times; bought a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits, but sixty runs; When Xiao Mo was sick, Xiao Shenyan was extremely nervous, and asked the best doctor to buy the best medicinal materials, and the cost was only more than ten yuan. Easy to read on your phone: α. Organize it
The most intuitive point is that a Chinese-funded family only spends twenty or thirty times a year. In poor homes, the annual cost is less than 10 times.
And Xiao Mo, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a hundred times? And it's just one of them?
The bookstore guy and Wang Jirui both looked at Xiao Mo incredulously, but Xiao Mo didn't pay attention to it at all, just looked at Wu Gou quietly, waiting for a reply.
In fact, Xiao Mo's original plan was to share it with Wu Gou, and for every book sold, he would get a few pennies for himself, and the amount would add up. But thinking about it later, Xiao Moxian had no means to know how many books Wu Gou could sell afterwards, so he simply sold the stories he wrote at one time.
Although a hundred guan seemed like a lot, Xiao Mo also knew that Wu Gou would only earn more money afterwards.
In ancient times, book sales was a very profitable business, in addition to the initial investment, the cost of repeated printing was not high, but the price of books was always delayed, so even caused many scholars to have to borrow books and copy by hand.
The most important thing is that what Xiao Mo wrote is not a book that is only purchased by people who are interested in scientific research such as the Four Books Annotations, these stories are easy to understand, as long as they are literate, anyone can buy them, and the audience is wider, plus it is exclusively sold by Wu Gou, even if it is considered that someone pirated it afterwards, it is enough to make Wu Gou profitable.
Sure enough, after hearing the price proposed by Xiao Mo, Wu Gou didn't make a fuss like Wang Jirui and his buddies, but said slowly: "The price is too high, and the little brother also knows that although this story is very good, it is rejected by many readers. ”
Xiao Mo nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, the middle volume is eighty runs, and we won't talk about the price of the next volume first, and then negotiate the price after the two volumes of the middle and middle volumes start to be sold, what does the shopkeeper think?" ”
Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Wu Gou's expression froze, and he finally put away all the contempt for Xiao Mo in his heart.
Xiao Mo's negotiation method, where is a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy? It's so much that even a shopping mall veteran sighs to himself.
The story written by Xiao Mo Wu Gou has seen it, and the income from the sale is definitely more than 100 yuan, just now it was just in the nature of a businessman who maximizes profits to reduce the price, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo to deal with it like this.
If you negotiate the price of the next roll after the middle volume goes on sale, the money spent will not be more than 100 times. Obviously, what he thought of, the young man named Xiao Mo in front of him also thought of it, and even thought more deeply and thoroughly than himself.
But Wu Gou is also a person who can afford to put it down, and after staring at Xiao Mo deeply for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, just according to the little brother, the middle and lower two volumes are one hundred times each." Brother, I'll make Brother Xiao, your friend, but if Brother Xiao has any new works in the future, you must remember Brother I. ”
"The shopkeeper is really a cheerful person, and if the younger generation writes any more stories in the future, he will definitely be the first to let the shopkeeper read it." Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, and then, as if he remembered something, he asked Wu Gou again: "For the sake of the shopkeeper being so refreshing, the younger generation still has some thoughts about this story in their hearts, and saying it may make the shopkeeper gain something." ”
"Oh? Little brother, please say, brother, I will listen to you. ”
Wu Gou said politely.
"But I don't know how the shopkeeper plans to sell this story?"
"Well, before the little brother came today, I thought about this matter carefully." Wu Gou muttered: "Considering that there are many readers who have all kinds of prejudices against this story, and their opinions will have a bad impact on this story, so brother, I plan to give this story to some famous literati in advance, and strive to get them to agree with the book first, and it is best to write some preface for the book and put it before the pages." Although the little brother wrote a story of cultivating immortals, but the Confucianism in it is even the elder brother and I can see, it is not difficult to do this, and everyone in the world has the psychology of following the trend, especially for readers, when those famous literati also agree with this book, the opponents will naturally be greatly reduced, and the book can also sell better. ”
Hearing Wu Gou's words, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned, now he still underestimated the businessmen of this era, and even knew the application of the celebrity effect. And this is exactly what Xiao Mo himself intends to propose to Wu Gou.
Fortunately, Xiao Mo has other buildings, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself in front of him this time.
I saw Xiao Mo nodding and said, "It turns out that the shopkeeper has already thought of this, but it is the junior class who has an axe." However, from the perspective of the younger generation, it is not a bad thing to have opposing voices, and the shopkeeper can also join the opinions of those literati who reject the book, so that because of the approval of those prestigious literati, the rejection of many people can be reduced, and because of the disagreement of some people, the fame of the book can be greatly increased, and at that time, many people who would not have bought the book will also be curious to buy because of the disagreement between those famous literati. ”
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Wu Gou's eyes lit up, and he only felt that this idea was wonderful, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a big second, fortunately, little brother, you have no intention of engaging in business, otherwise I will have to retreat from now on, brother." ”
changed from "little brother" to "little brother", and the tone was actually three points more affectionate.
Xiao Mo shook his head with a smile and said, "The shopkeeper is polite." It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it is not worthy of such praise. However, there is one thing that must be agreed to by the shopkeeper, if this matter does not work out, then this transaction between us can only be nullified. ”
"Please say anything, as long as I can do it, master, I will definitely agree."
At this time, Wu Gou looked quite bold.
Xiao Mo said seriously: "The younger generation will participate in the county examination this year, and they will inevitably continue to participate in the higher level of the imperial examination in the future." The shopkeeper also knows that the younger generation wrote this story only because of the embarrassment of the family, forced by helpless expediency, and this book has a lot of controversy, in order to avoid any trouble in the future, it will be hated by some readers, and please ask the shopkeeper to assure that the identity of the junior can not be told to anyone, and the identity of the younger generation to the outside world is just a 'self-disturbing layman', not Xiao Mo. ”
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Wu Gou's expression also became solemn, he stood up, and pointed to the heavens: "I, Wu Gou, hereby promise that I will never tell anyone about the identity of the little brother, and please rest assured that the little brother is here." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the business was discussed, Xiao Mo and Wu Gou chatted for a while, and then Xiao Mo got up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Wu Gou handed over the early thirty guan to Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo also promised that after three days, he would write out the middle scroll and hand it over to Wu Gou, and the guests and hosts would be happy for a while.
Wu Gou personally sent Xiao Mo outside the "Chongwen Bookstore" and watched Xiao Mo leave.
Watching Xiao Mo's figure gradually disappear, Wu Gou suddenly remembered something and sighed.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?"
The guy next to him hurriedly asked.
Wu Gou muttered, "You shouldn't have used a hundred yuan to buy a book just now." ”
"I think it's too, it's just a broken story, and it takes two hundred and thirty to buy them all, which is too expensive......"
"You know what? It's not high, it's low!! ”
Wu Gou turned his head and glared at the guy, and scolded angrily.
Ignoring the startled guy, Wu Gou turned around and walked towards the backyard, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: "This Xiao Mo, but at such an age, he has such a means of vision and insight, judging from this story, his knowledge is also to be obtained, and it will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, I'm afraid it won't be long." Yunzhou is about to make another move. Hey, you shouldn't have been too concerned about that bit of money just now, and it's right to make a good friend of this person. ”
After returning to the backyard, Wu Gou sat in the living room, tapped his fingers on the table for a moment, suddenly smiled slightly, and muttered, "However, it's still too late." ”
