If you can't compete for the top spot, you have to be the most powerful in this industry.

The newspaper business seems to be small, and there is a lot of money in hand.

It must be known that the average bookstore cannot sell a few books in a day, and it is a common perception in this era that books are expensive. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, which one doesn't cost money? It is also understandable why the storyteller of the teahouse is the most popular.

Because ordinary people can't afford to buy books, or can't read. The storyteller tells the audience about the content of the book, and the fascinating expression is a rare leisure way in this era.

The birth of the newspaper broke a small pattern and added another experience to reading.

The previous news relied on word of mouth in the market, and the rumors changed their flavor and became rumors.

And the newspaper is written in black and white, and if you want to know what news you have, you can find it yourself.

After seeing the magic of newspapers for the first time, the bookstores set foot on the big ship of Qinlin Publishing House. Reading a house has always been a loner, with a self-contained identity, disdainful of the following small bookstores that are not famous. In addition, after going to the publishing house last time, I felt embarrassed, so I didn't continue to send people to Xijing.

As a result, the newspaper incident became the hottest topic after a week of fermentation, but Reading Yiju was excluded from this topic and had no chance to interject.

The shopkeeper was bored and sad, and he didn't know how to deal with the host's questioning.

And the unfortunate thing is that I don't want anything to happen, and this thing is just in front of me.

Soon after the big shopkeeper hung up the sign, the owner of the first house came.

Today's owner is surnamed Yang, and he once secretly said that his family and the Xiyan royal family were his own family more than 100 years ago. But this is also said among acquaintances, and I would never dare to go in front of those dignitaries. Otherwise, there are many people surnamed Yang in the world, can they all have something to do with the Yang royal family?

He still has this point in his heart, but he always thinks that he and the emperor have the same blood, and he feels superior. Therefore, he does not come to the bookstore often, and is always taking care of business elsewhere.

Before entering the door, he saw the handwriting on the sign, and his brow furrowed.

The big shopkeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted him: "The owner is good." ”

"What's going on out there? Didn't you contact that publisher before, no news? ”

The big shopkeeper had a bitter face, and he had long been accustomed to the behavior of beating the owner upside down.

It was the owner who asked him to go to Xijing, and what he said that day was also taught by the owner, and the first person he saw after he came back was also the owner. How did it get into the mouth of the owner, it became Wu Fan's.

Alas, he has been like this in the past few years, but he doesn't want to be kicked out when he reaches middle age.

The bitterness in the heart of the big shopkeeper Yang Wencheng is not clear, he is used to speaking, and he doesn't want to listen to the voice below. In his opinion, he gave the silver, and it was already a great honor for them to support these people to do things, and they wanted to get something else from him? There are no doors.

"Get things done as soon as possible." Yang Wencheng dropped this sentence as usual, just waiting for the big shopkeeper to handle the matter for him.

The big shopkeeper hesitated, gritted his teeth, and then said stubbornly: "The publishing house will not agree to the conditions we proposed." ”

"What?" Yang Wencheng glanced at him, very dissatisfied: "Are you a fool?" What you've been taught all these years, you've eaten into the dog's belly? ”

Being scolded in front of so many guys made the big shopkeeper's face blush and white for a while, embarrassed and embarrassed.

But he still has to rely on the owner to beg for food, and he never dares to talk back.

But the task assigned to him by the owner, it is not so easy for him to complete.

The big shopkeeper was bitter and helpless in his heart, how could the owner of Qinlin Publishing House get along well. I'm afraid that if he doesn't fulfill the owner's requirements this time, he will definitely be kicked out of the house.

Yang Wencheng saw that his face was embarrassed, his brows furrowed, and he scolded: "You don't want to? ”

The big shopkeeper swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and asked in a low voice: "The little one is blunt, I messed up the matter last time." The little one just wants to make trouble again than let the little one get into trouble again, please ......"

He glanced at Yang Chengwen and smiled flatteringly: "The owner will give you some advice." ”

Yang Chengwen is a black-hearted person, otherwise he would not have used all means to snatch Yu Yiju from the original owner.

It can even be said that it was in the hands of Yang Chengwen that Reading Yiju completely changed.

However, this is only one of Yang Chengwen's industries, and he himself doesn't care very much, so he has been handed over to the big shopkeeper to take care of. Because of his own fame, he has earned a lot of money over the years. And as the owner of the bookstore, it can also bring him a good reputation.

"That's how you ......"

The shopkeeper listened attentively, trying to control the expression on his face so as not to show his astonishment. With every sentence Yang Chengwen said, his heart beat wildly involuntarily.

Although Wu Fan is the shopkeeper of a house, he does not do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but he does not really do any evil things. At this moment, listening to Yang Chengwen's strategy is enough to make this somewhat dishonest shopkeeper break out in a cold sweat.

He had long heard how the current bookstore had come into the hands of the current owner, but the feelings of hearsay and hearing with his own ears were still different.

"The little one is written down." Using his last willpower to spit out this sentence, Wu Fan watched Yang Chengwen go away, his knees were sore, but fortunately he was able to stand firm by holding on to the bookshelf on the side.

"Crazy...... he muttered, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the two guys casting the same looks, and hurriedly scolded: "Don't clean up the shop yet!" ”

The young man was frightened by him, and he didn't bother to think about what the shopkeeper meant.

The big shopkeeper exhaled and slowly straightened up while holding on to the bookshelf.

He looked out the window, slapped his shoulder, and said to the guy at the door: "I have something to go out, and you will take care of the bookstore first." ”

The shopkeeper left the bookstore and went straight home.

The husband and wife closed the door of the house, and the chief treasurer told his wife about it.

After hearing this, his wife Zhou shook her head disapprovingly: "You have been working for the bookstore all these years, and it was originally a decent livelihood, but now what has become of it?" Do you know what outsiders say about you? They say you're a dog, and you don't do anything. Koharuko is now studying in the academy, how do you want your classmates to look at him? Do you want to tell him that his father is a ...... Harmful spirits. ”

The big shopkeeper wiped his face and exhaled: "I understand." Before I quit my job, I want to go to Xijing first. In any case, it must not harm people's lives. ”

Qin Xiang was taking inventory, and the abacus crackled.

The next few shopkeepers drank tea leisurely, and they were not afraid of the owner's reconciliation. A clear conscience is probably what describes this situation.

In the evening, a horse-drawn carriage slowly left Xijing.

In the capital, there are many horse-drawn carriages like this, most of which are similar in appearance, and it is difficult to find the difference between them when mixed into the traffic.

Qin Xiang packed up his account books and prepared to get off work.

Dinner has been arranged with someone to settle in a tea house, and by the way, I want to plan a birthday party for the two small groups.

Counting the time, she has been in this world for a year.

At this time last year, Xiao Tuanzi's birthday was missed, and this year must not be forgotten.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but look at the album on the side, pursed the corners of his lips, and smiled.

Thinking that as soon as I opened my eyes, I found that I had become someone else's mother, and I came to ancient times, and the mentality at that time was really interesting. Even she herself could not have imagined that one day she would become the big boss of a commercial house, sitting on more than a dozen shops.

"Boss, you haven't left yet?" Xiaoyu came out from the 'water side', and went to the publishing house to take a look, and found that Qin Xiang hadn't left yet.

"Today's reconciliation has been a little delayed. By the way, have you arranged Qin Xiucai's residence? ”

"I haven't found a suitable one yet, let him stay at the inn for a few days for the time being." Xiaoyu shrugged the tip of her nose, a little dissatisfied: "It's just a sour scholar, is the owner really sure that he can work for us?" ”

Speaking of this Qin Xiucai, it can be said that he was the first to apply for the job after the publishing house advertised in the newspaper. Interestingly, Qin Xiu was the first and only applicant.

In this era, there are many people who rely on the pen to eat, but it is the first time that a publishing house has recruited them together. Everyone is worried about being scammed and that they will get into trouble if what they write appears in the newspaper.

Either way, it's always good to have someone willing to apply. Therefore, Qin Xiang naturally favored the first applicant. What's more, Qin Xiucai is humble and does not have high salary requirements, so he seems to be a down-to-earth and hard-working. If you train it, you may be able to take charge of the publishing house in the future.

Xiaoyu didn't like this Qin Xiucai, and always felt that the other party looked deep and not a good person.

But the owners have decided to keep people, and the current publishing house really needs talents.

"When publishing houses develop in the future, magazines and newspapers will have to be separated."

Xiaoyu didn't understand this, but she also understood what Qin Xiang meant. They are now very short of people, so they don't pay attention to that rather lack than abuse.

"That's ......"

"Excuse me." A somewhat familiar voice sounded in the doorway.

The two of them looked at each other, and they faced a cramped and worried face.

Isn't this the big shopkeeper named Wu Fan who reads a house?

The big shopkeeper was not comfortable being looked at, and what he did today was also suspected of judging the master, and he became more and more at a loss.

The visitor was a guest, so Qin Xiang still invited someone to sit down.

"No, no, I'll leave when I'm done." The big shopkeeper's butt didn't dare to hit the stool, only made a side. "I'm here because I want to mention something about the Qin Dong family......

Silent......

After listening to what the big shopkeeper said, Qin Xiang was silent.

The big shopkeeper rubbed his hands and smiled: "That's it, if you love it, you can believe it." ”

"I believe it." Qin Xiang raised his chin and asked him not to get up. "I have something else on my mind."

The so-called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles', Qin Xiang never fights unprepared battles. I have also experienced the assassination of the enemy before, so the big shopkeeper left on the front foot, and she sent someone to investigate and read a house on the back foot. As a result, I found some interesting things, such as Yang Wencheng's background.

But these are not important, with Yang Wencheng's ability to deal with her? It's a little short.

"You came to me today, how can you continue to stay with your old club when you go back?"

"I ...... I quit my job when I got back. The big shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "You can't be poked in the backbone for the rest of your life." ”

"Well, you can quit your job when you go back and come to me. Yang Wencheng may take revenge on you, you might as well move to Xijing with your whole family, and I will arrange a place for you to live. ”
