The shopkeeper began to read with disdain, and Li Tingyu didn't say anything when he saw his expression, just waited quietly on the side.

Only then did Jin Zi understand the intention of the young lady to go out, it turned out that she wanted to sell a book.

Miss is really amazing, I read a few books a few days ago, and I can write it myself today.

Kaneko couldn't help but look at her young lady with adoration.

The shopkeeper's face gradually changed from disdain to seriousness to joy, and he gradually became fascinated by it.

When he saw the place where he was rising, he couldn't help but slap the table and shout: "Good job!"

The shopkeeper didn't care about the pain in his hands, and found that he had turned to the last page, raised his head and asked eagerly, "Why is it gone?" ”

"The second half of the book is here." Li Tingyu took out the manuscript that had been prepared from his arms.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to take it, but Li Tingyu withdrew his hand again.

"What do you mean, girl?" The shopkeeper was itching, and he really couldn't wait to know the follow-up plot.

This girl broke out of context so well, he really couldn't stop. If he can't see the follow-up plot, he won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Now we can talk about the price, shall we?" Li Tingyu smiled like a profiteer.

Looking at the shopkeeper's expression, she knew that this novel would definitely sell.

The shopkeeper groaned for a while and said, "You are a newcomer, and no one may buy it." ”

As soon as he heard this, he wanted to bargain, and Li Tingyu waved his hand to say that he didn't want to hear these falsehoods.

"Shopkeeper, don't fool me, if this book is not good, I will give you money."

Seeing that she looked confident, the shopkeeper was embarrassed to continue, after all, what he said before was just to lower the price.

"Hehe, it's a good thing that a little girl has fighting spirit. Well, make a friend. I'll give you a tael of silver in this book, and we only accept 800 wen from others on weekdays. ”

The boss didn't lie to her, she asked around before she came. The price of a book is between 500 and 800 yuan.

Being able to give one or two pieces of silver is indeed a high price, and this boss is still knowledgeable.

Li Tingyu calculated in his heart.

Usually the paper used in the book will not be the best kind, usually a penny.

Dongcang is still engraving printing, which is a bit laborious. The printing of such a novel, plus the binding fee, is no more than 450 texts at most.

In this way, it seems that the shopkeeper will be able to recover the cost by selling five copies of her manuscript fee. Li Tingyu has confidence in herself, and it is absolutely impossible for her novels to sell only so little.

Thinking of this, Li Tingyu bowed to the boss: "The shopkeeper is a real person." ”

The shopkeeper of Wen Moju accepted this compliment with a smile.

Just kidding, their Wenmoju can stand on Chunxi Street for decades, relying on their real reputation.

"Can the girl give me the second half of the book?" The shopkeeper took out two taels of silver from the drawer and prepared to hand it over to Li Tingyu.

"Wait, how about we make a deal?"

Although it is true that a tael of silver is a high price, what she wants is a long stream, not a one-time buyout.

"Girl, but you're not happy with the price?" The shopkeeper was a little unhappy, he had already offered such a high price. This little girl is still not satisfied, this is too greedy.

"No, no, no, I just think we can work together in a different way."

After listening to Li Tingyu's words, the shopkeeper became interested, what can a little girl cooperate with him?

Li Tingyu opened his mouth and said: "I will sell the book to you in the form of a commission, and give me a hundred yuan for each one sold." If you sell more than 50 copies, I'll pay 300 yuan for the rest of the book. What do you think? ”

The shopkeeper touched his beard and thought carefully about Li Tingyu's suggestion, he took the abacus and fiddled with it before he spoke: "But what if I can't sell fifty copies?" ”

"Then I'll fill the vacancy for you." Li Tingtong was full of confidence.

In fact, this is a common gambling agreement in the previous life, but the boss feels very novel about this method. This is equivalent to Li Tingyu investing money to sell him books, and if he can't sell enough, he can make up for it.

"It's too much of a loss for the girl." The shopkeeper thinks that it is good to persuade Li Tingyu that young people have self-confidence, but if they are too confident, they are likely to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.

He only bought about forty copies of the best-selling book here. As soon as the little girl opened her mouth for fifty copies, she was a little overwhelmed.

"It's okay, let's just write the agreement clearly. Rest assured, I will never break my word. ”

Li Tingyu is very confident in his novels, mainly in the rich people of Jindu.

There are too few entertainment activities for people in Jindu, and the variety of books is not rich, once a new thing appears, everyone will not miss it.

Moreover, Jindu, as the capital of Dongcang, does not know how many rich families of all sizes. If you smash a brick on the road, you may be able to hit a certain noble child or an official in Dongcang. Not to mention some wealthy landlord merchants.

"Okay, then do as the girl says." It is a fool not to earn money, how can any businessman think that he makes too little money. Since he had already reminded the little girl, there was nothing he could do if the other party wanted to go his own way.

The shopkeeper took out a pen and paper and was about to draft an agreement, when Li Tingyu spoke: "I'll come." ”

The shopkeeper handed the pen and paper to Li Tingyu, and stood on the side to see what Li Tingyu would write.

Li Tingyu took the pen and paper without ambiguity, and wrote as soon as he picked up the pen. She didn't know how many contracts she had drafted in her previous life, and she fought three hundred rounds with Party A for the benefit of the company, so it was not too easy to write a simple agreement.

"Please take a look." Li Tingyu put down his pen and handed the agreement to Wen Moju's shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper had already finished reading all the contents, and he couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

The little girl wrote every article clearly, and no one wanted to take advantage of her. And the format is more concise and clear than what they are using now, and the shopkeeper's curiosity is getting stronger and stronger.

"The girl's family is in business?" To be able to write the agreement so clearly must have been nurtured at home.

Li Tingyao smiled and said nothing, and the shopkeeper stopped pursuing it.

Both signed their names on the agreement and printed their fingerprints.

"Miss Li is happy to work together."

"Shopkeeper Luo is polite."

After signing, the two exchanged names, and the shopkeeper called Xiao Er in the store and asked him to go to the yamen to add an official seal to the agreement, so that the agreement could really have legal benefits.

If it is not sent to the government for archiving, if there is a dispute another day, the government will not accept it, and will only let you negotiate and resolve it yourself. Therefore, the formal cooperation must be stamped and archived by the government.

"Girl, please wait." The shopkeeper seemed to have seen countless pieces of silver beckoning to him, and he was in a very good mood.

Xiao Er picked up the agreement and also took Li Tingyu's manuscript out.

Looking at Xiao Er's departing figure, Li Tingyu opened his mouth and asked, "Why do you have to bring the manuscript with you?" ”

Under the explanation of the shopkeeper, Li Tingyu finally understood.

In order to avoid the occurrence of pirated books, all publishers need to go to the yamen to file their books. Proving that this is your own exclusive work is equivalent to a modern copyright notary office.

The government charges a fee to issue a certificate for the visitor. If a pirated book is found in the market, it can be sued against the pirate dealer with the certificate.

The pirate demanded compensation for the original, and the government again took a fee for the trial.

In this way, everyone is happy, the genuine version can defend its rights, and the government can also make money.

Hearing this, Li Tingyu sighed with emotion, the emperor of Dongcang is very smart, and he has a super sense of law!
