Chapter 304: Novels and Corners
After the summer, Xiyan ushered in a heat wave.
In the streets and alleys, light clothes can be seen. What's more, this summer is going to be hotter than usual.
And in a bookstore, there are some young people who are not afraid of heat.
"Zhao Tang! You're finally back, have you bought the books? ”
The young man named Zhao Tang shook the pale bamboo-colored book in his hand with a smug face, "I went early, and I bought it a long time ago." It's a pity that there is only one volume, which is not enough to read. ”
"It's good to be able to buy it, this book is out of stock for a long time. It's the only bookstore that still exists, so I'm really lucky. ”
Zhao Tang couldn't wait to plunge into the circle of his friends and share this thin book with his companions.
On the cover, it is written in the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - "The Biography of General Huwei"
This book is the hottest topic in the capital, if you don't bring this with you when chatting, no one else will want to talk to you. As soon as the book came out, it quickly swept through all walks of life. Whether you are an upper-class nobleman or a low-class commoner, you are willing to watch.
Who is General Huwei? That's the god of war in Xiyan, who hasn't heard of his prestige.
It's just to find a random teahouse, which also has the story of General Huwei to listen to.
The storyteller is eloquent, but the stories he can tell are too old-fashioned, and most of them have been heard.
After hearing this, it is not uncommon.
And the words in Zhao Tang's hand are different. The author used easy-to-understand sentences to describe how General Huwei went from a teenager to a great general.
What Zhao Tang has now in his hand is only the first volume, and he has just talked about how the young man surnamed Han joined the army under the persecution of his family and was bullied in the military camp.
Those who watched were indignant and couldn't stop.
"This one surnamed Yang is too bad! Seeing that Han Boy was easy to speak, he bullied him to death! ”
"This Han kid isn't too useful, right, he doesn't know how to fight back when he is bullied? If I ......"
"What if you?" Some loyal fans of General Huwei said disdainfully: "As far as you look like you don't have two taels of flesh all over your body, you haven't been punched by Yang Da yet." Han Xiaozi does not conflict with Yang Da, there must be his reasons, you just have to wait and see, what so much nonsense. ”
Something like that can be heard everywhere.
Some people talk about how hateful the villain in the book is, and some people say that Han Xiaozi will turn over sooner or later.
As long as there is heat, it means that it is hot.
Even Qin Xiang didn't expect that she would write this book so popularly. Or is it that the people of Xiyan have too little entertainment on weekdays, and if they catch a copy, they can become a hit?
However, she also asked Xiaoyu to collect the popular scripts on the market today, and after reading them carefully, she found that it was not that she wrote too well, but that the opponent was too weak.
Today's script is still at the point of a small fight. Talented and beautiful women are already a fresh routine.
And Qin Xiang wrote a beautiful and tragic protagonist, and there is still a prototype. This sense of secrecy may be the reason why "The Legend of General Huwei" is so popular.
In any case, the book is on fire, and Qin Xiang also has a new idea.
"Joint?"
Xiaoyu and Lin Qingmiao looked at each other, puzzled.
Even Zhao Ying, who came with him, was a little confused, and he didn't understand what a food seller had to do with a makeup shop.
In the era in which Qin Xiang lived, co-branded models were not a new word for a long time.
Many brands will create so-called co-branded models, not only to make money, but also to open up the market.
There are many excellent works in the co-branded model, but there are also some overturned works.
Before Qin Xiang crossed, there was a very well-known luxury brand that created a joint product with another domestic brand. As a result, the car overturned to the point where it could be called a car accident.
This is the imbalance of the brand's positioning and aesthetics.
Qin Xiang is a person from the past, and he still has a little suggestion of his own in this regard.
When it comes to collaborations, the most common ones are clothes and shoes, which is not difficult at all. As long as the other party's logo is printed on a small T-shirt, it is the simplest co-branded model. But the joint name that Qin Xiang wants to create is more than that.
"Zhao Ying, do you have a candidate for the designer I asked you to recruit?"
Zhao Ying hurriedly said: "I have found a few suitable ones, and I still need the owner to take the school exam." ”
"Pick a time for me to meet people."
Qin Xiang looked at Lin Qingmiao again: "Is there a new product to eat chicken?" ”
"The R&D department has designed several solutions, but we have to ask the owner to give us a palm."
Qin Xiang looked at Xiaoyu again, this girl smiled innocently, and Qin Xiang shook his head when he saw it.
"Let you go and be an agent store manager on the water side, you can compare to the chain."
Xiaoyu didn't understand what this 'dropped chain' meant, but replied very seriously: "I will definitely not embarrass the owner!" ”
In this way, Qin Xiang's business this morning was temporarily over.
She had 10,000 plans in her head, and too many ideas waiting to be realized. Helplessly, there are too few people available. It is not easy to break down some modern concepts and explain them clearly.
Qin Xiang only hopes that the designers she found can be a little more reliable.
The profession of a designer is not unique to modern times. Otherwise, if you look at the patterns of the clothes of the ancients, and the decorations of the houses, they were all designed by special people. However, these people are not full-time these, most of them are inspired by chance. And what Qin Xiang wants to do is to gather this kind of people together and let them burst out one small spark of inspiration after another.
After finishing all this, and leaving everyone for lunch, Qin Xiang thumped his shoulders and went back to the study.
"The Biography of General Huwei" sold so well that Qin Xiang asked Xiaoyu to find a safe bookseller and printed a part of it in her own name for the bookstore to consign. I didn't sell a single one, so I gave the bookstore a little profit. This kind of consignment behavior is not new, and some people with great ambitions and desperate for no way will often put their 'books' in the bookstore for consignment.
If he is lucky enough to get into the eyes of any nobleman, his day of prosperity will be just around the corner.
Such an opportunity is very small, but no one wants to let it go. Who doesn't want to get ahead? If you have this good opportunity, you should seize it.
Qin Xiang secretly played a trick, nominally saying consignment, and privately hired someone to buy most of these books in the bookstore. Only then sent people to search for "The Biography of General Huwei" in various bookstores, so as to arouse the curiosity of readers. By the time they asked if the bookstore had one, it was already half the battle.
The next thing you need is whether the content is attractive or not, in order to maintain a certain degree of popularity.
Qin Xiang did a good job in both hands, so he took a big advantage. However, in just two days, "The Legend of General Huwei" has become the hottest script. If you don't have one in your hand, you're embarrassed to talk to others. This also led to the purchase of goods from various bookstores, and Qin Xiang, as a printer, made a lot of money.
"Alas, money can make ghosts grind."
It takes a lot of effort to engrave a printed plate, but Qin Xiang has silver and can hire someone to engrave a large number of wooden boards.
As for movable type printing, there are too many uncertainties. Just for one book, Qin Xiang didn't want to toss like this.
I'm afraid that even Han Yunxiao himself can't believe that Qin Xiang actually made a lot of money with him.
……
As night fell, the lights and candles were already burning in the Emerald Palace.
Xiao Qian carefully removed the hairpin in the middle of the hair for the tenth princess, and asked, "When the princess goes out tomorrow, can she choose a dress?" ”
The tenth princess was a little reluctant to put down the "Legend of General Huwei" in her hand, and rubbed the corners of her eyes, "I will choose the pine green shirt, and the skirt will be the one in the red color." ”
Xiao Qian responded, "The slave maid will take it to iron it later, and then use the smoker to smoke the flowers." ”
The tenth princess raised her hand and yawned, and said with her head bowed: "Don't make too strong a fragrance, just be elegant." ”
Xiao Qian helped the tenth princess to rest, and after she fell asleep, she carefully put out the lights and candles and exited the hall.
"That's right......"
Her steps paused, and her face changed suddenly.
"Don't let the slightest mistake with what you've arranged."
"The ...... of the Slave Province"
Xiao Qian's heart fell little by little, and it was not until the tenth princess stopped making a sound that she closed the door properly. She bit her lower lip tightly, and the cold sweat on her back had already soaked her underwear.
She lied......
She told the princess that it was not good to ask General Huwei to come out alone, and I was afraid that the general would be regarded as an indecent woman, which was the most suitable for chance encounters. In fact, she is just a palace maid, how can she have such a great ability to meet General Huwei.
It's just that the prince went out of the palace to see the general that day, and when he came back, he mentioned that he would go boating with the general to enjoy the scenery in a few days. Xiao Qian inquired carefully about the time and place, and only when she came back did she say this to the tenth princess.
I'm afraid that the princess will know that he has coaxed her, and her life will be lost.
Xiao Qian was frightened, tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep. The general took a nap for a while, but was frightened by a nightmare.
It can be seen that ...... "can't do bad things."
She shook her head, her heart fluttering. But he still had to cheer up and wait for the tenth princess to freshen up.
Xu is people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the tenth princess shows a smile early in the morning, and even hums a little song. The princess was happy, but Xiaoqian was nervous, lest the princess would be unhappy, so she would have to eat steaks. I'm afraid that this time I will not only eat chops, but also lose my life.
I am afraid that my life will be lost, but I don't dare to be sloppy in the work I should do. After so many years in the palace, the ability to do two things is not useless. I don't know where my thoughts are drifting, and I can still dress the ten princesses in a bright and moving and gentle way.
"That's fine." The tenth princess was satisfied everywhere, so she took a gold bracelet called skein from the makeup, "Oh, I will reward you." ”
Xiao Qian took it tremblingly, and said that there was a reward in her heart, but she didn't have to spend it.
The tenth princess went out early, and the place where the prince and General Huwei met was in Xijing Yuxiu Lake, and the road was inevitably bumpy. Fortunately, she had to meet her sweetheart, otherwise she would have to get angry.
When I arrived at Yuxiu Lake, the air was much cooler. There is a breeze blowing again, the willows are still clinging, and the mood is a little more relaxed.
As soon as the tenth princess arrived at the place, she looked for the shadow of General Huwei.
Xiao Qian's eyes were sharp, and she quietly pointed to the corner of the lake: "There." ”
The prince traveled in casual clothes today, and he didn't have many entourages with him, and he looked like he was just an ordinary son-in-law.
And General Huwei, who was standing beside him, was only wearing a simple cloth robe today, and he looked like an ordinary martial artist. But he has a long figure and a handsome appearance, and his temperament compares the crown prince, a royal nobleman.
The tenth princess was in a stirring mood, but she was a little twisted at this moment.
