Chapter 65: The Four Great Talents of Jiangnan!
It's a lot of trouble here, but it's a happy conversation over there.
"Thank you Lord Chen for your help, this time the dog official surnamed Shen definitely didn't run away."
Gu Ming thanked Chen Zibai with a spring breeze on his face.
"Hehe, it's just a gesture. Besides, this is also a matter of the official's duty.
But the official is a little curious, are you a scholar, or a person in the rivers and lakes? ”
Gu Ming replied seriously: "Of course students are readers!" ”
"Hahaha, that's right, you're a showman yourself...... By the way, you should participate in this year's imperial examination, right? ”
"Try your best!"
Chen Zibai nodded with a smile: "That's very good." If you really want to pass the exam, your sons-in-law are all lifters, and it is also a good story. ”
"Cheng Daren's auspicious words!"
"There is almost no suspense in this case, even if his father and son don't kill their heads, they will inevitably be demoted to pariahs, and they will be desolate to the border......"
After all, this time, it wasn't just because of the poisoning of Steward Liu.
Gu Ming even sneaked into the study and found some evidence of Shen Butong's corruption and perversion of the law, such as letters, account books, etc.
The evidence has been transferred by Chen Zibai to the Jinhua prefect.
Because of this, the prefect's attitude is so tough, and he directly sent people to the Shen Mansion to continue to collect evidence.
Sure enough, after a lot of careful searching, they found a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some secret letters from the study, sandwich wall, and secret cabinet one after another.
This is even more conclusive, no matter how clever the tongue is, it is useless.
Gu Ming didn't bother to take care of the follow-up.
After all, the trial still needs a process, in short, there is already a certain number in mind about the fate of Shen Butong's father and son, and there is no need to stay in Jinhua Mansion for a long time.
At noon on the same day, I went to find the shopkeeper Yu to discuss the departure.
"In this way, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I will arrange for men and carriages now."
"Okay!"
Gu Ming responded.
The next day, Gu Ming came to the door of the bookstore as promised, and Shopkeeper Yu had already prepared a carriage, and after a few words of greeting to each other, he boarded the carriage and set off.
After a bumpy day, I finally arrived in Guobei County before dark.
Gu Ming found an inn to settle the shopkeeper Yu, and agreed to come and pick him up the next morning.
After that, he went back to his own courtyard.
As usual, I took a shower first, copied the daily tasks, and then went back to bed to rest.
As soon as the morning dawned, he came to the inn, took the shopkeeper Yu and the groom to have breakfast, and then came to the study together.
"Yo, Wen Xing is back."
"Leping, Dong Sheng, this is the bookseller Yu shopkeeper of Jinhua Mansion, he came to take a look."
"It turned out to be Shopkeeper Yu, welcome!"
The two of them greeted each other enthusiastically.
After a polite look, Shopkeeper Yu visited back and forth, and couldn't help but admire: "Although the scale of the bookstore is a little smaller, the atmosphere is very good." ”
Gu Ming smiled and said, "If you want to say that the bookstore must not be compared with the shopkeeper Yu." However, Guobei County is so big, and the number of people who buy books is limited.
So, I'm mainly here as a ...... Well, it's kind of a showroom.
In addition to selling books, it also sells some calligraphy and paintings, or attracts some readers to come here to gather. ”
"Yes, your idea is really good......"
The conversation was almost over, and the two sides finally sat down and began to talk about business in a grand manner.
Shopkeeper Yu said: "Gu Gongzi, the reason why the contemptible people came here this time is actually to discuss something with you. ”
"Shopkeeper Yu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"For the two books you showed me, I want to operate exclusively in Jinhua Mansion."
Gu Ming couldn't help frowning: "Exclusive? This...... I'm afraid it's not quite right. ”
Shopkeeper Yu smiled and said, "Gu Gongzi will listen to my explanation first, other booksellers will order you a hundred or two hundred copies at a time, and you have to bother to find a bookseller."
Despicable people buy at least 1,000 copies at a time, so you can save a lot of trouble......"
Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out that he wanted to be a regional agent, and he was really a businessman with brains.
"Hehe, I understand what Shopkeeper Yu meant. Yes, I can save a lot of energy, but the price is ......."
"You must give a little more to the price, after all, the quantity is large, and the contemptible person is a businessman, so he has to talk about profits, right?"
This is the reason, but Gu Ming hadn't thought about this problem before, so he couldn't help but groan.
"It's okay, Gu Gongzi can think about it. To tell you the truth, in addition to Jinhua Mansion, there are also channels for sales in Gusu Mansion. ”
Hearing this, Gu Ming's eyes couldn't help but light up.
If you want to say that this Gusu Mansion, it is much larger than Jinhua Mansion, which can be said to be the largest state capital in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the provincial capital, and it has the reputation of "the first capital in the south of the Yangtze River" since ancient times.
Although the capital is also located in the territory of Jiangnan, the capital is the capital after all, so it is naturally not included in the scope of Jiangnan.
Since ancient times, Jiangnan has many talents!
And Gusu Mansion is a typical representative of it.
For example, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing, who are currently recognized as the four great talents in Jiangnan, are all from Gusu.
The four of them have their own strengths, and they are well-deserved representatives of Jiangnan talents.
Therefore, Gusu Mansion is a holy place for many scholars, and some people even do not hesitate to sell their property and move to Gusu Mansion to live, in order to get a little talent.
Thinking about it, Gu Ming couldn't help but say: "In this way, the shopkeeper Yu, the study is not run by me alone, I have to discuss it with others." ”
Shopkeeper Yu nodded: "No problem!" ”
So, Gu Ming summoned Nie Xiaoqian, Su Ling, He Yongliang, and Dong Sheng to sit together and discuss.
"I think it's doable!"
He Yongliang was the first to express his opinion.
"Hmm~" Dong Sheng echoed: "Once the volume is large, the printing cost will also be reduced, and our profits will not be much lower." ”
"What about the two of you?"
Gu Ming glanced at the second daughter again.
Nie Xiaoqian smiled: "It's good for you to be in charge!" ”
Su Ling pursed his lips: "See what I'm doing?" What you want to hear is nothing more than what Miss Nie means alone. ”
She wouldn't have said that before, but everyone knows each other so well, sometimes it's inevitable to make a joke or something.
"Well, then unanimously passed!"
Gu Mingle laughed.
Then he said: "However, the price can't be changed back and forth." My idea is this, the price remains the same, and the rebate is taken.
That is to say, in the future, no matter who it is, but all those who have a large amount of this kind will adopt this way.
For example, if the purchase price of a book is 600 wen, 10% can be returned after the other party sells it. ”
This model is not Gu Ming's originality, and many manufacturers in the past life have used similar methods to give back to sellers.
"Yes, that's a good idea!"
"I'll see it!"
"Then it's decided, all books, one percent rebates!"
Gu Ming hammered the final word!
So, once again, I found the shopkeeper Yu and explained it endlessly.
"That is to say, if you buy a book for one hundred taels of silver, you will get a rebate of ten taels of silver at the end......
Of course, this is not absolute, for example, some transportation costs incurred during this period, we can also consider ...... at our discretion"
Shopkeeper Yu pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but smile.
"Deal!"
A big order, so it was decided.
