The third young master looked at his old friend with a smile, as if he had become accustomed to the turtle walker's obsessive reading energy, he just sat on the other side of the same square table, holding a glass of yellow sรจ juice out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "Say, old **, what is the matter with coming to me this time?" โ€

Shangguan was sitting very peacefully a moment ago, but after hearing the words "old **", he couldn't help coughing, and he was almost choked by his own saliva.

Brother, even if you are very easy-going, can you choose your words and phrases carefully...... Shangguan said helplessly in his heart.

But contrary to his exaggerated reaction, the turtle walker didn't move at all, he just focused on the book in front of him, read it line by line, and after a long time, gently turned the page, and said, "This time, I just want to do a small business with you." โ€

"Oh? Business? The third young master's tone was mentioned, and he asked in an interested tone.

"Come on, don't pretend, if you don't do other business, you will already lose money on your business skills in this broken book city." Turtlewalker unceremoniously shot back.

Also, don't look at the scale of this book city, but as the operator, the third young master is not like a businessman at all, he never cares how many books can be put in a space, nor does he care how many books he has to sell every month to make money, he only cares about whether the books he wants to read come back in, and he only cares if he has the time and opportunity to meet some people who also love to read when he comes to this floor, that's all.

It can be said that the Turtle Walker and the Third Young Master were originally two completely different people in this world, and it was the love of reading that brought the two of them together.

It is precisely because of the relationship between running such a "non-profit-oriented" book city that the third young master, who takes stealing as his hobby, needs to make some money in other ways. After all, voyeurism is just a hobby, and if you use your hobby as a way to make money, you won't like to do it anymore.

Based on this consideration, the third young master brought the tall man over, stretched his head forward like a giraffe, and said, "How is it, what is there to take care of my brother?" โ€

The turtle walker took out a gelatinous mask, put it on his palm, and showed it to the third young master. When the other party was stunned, he smiled, stretched out his hand to Shangguan's face, and pulled it vigorously.

"Hey, hey, hey, it hurts." Shangguan exclaimed in surprise, and his four hands waved in the air like an octopus.

"What is this?" The third young master did not understand the "demonstration action" of the turtle walker.

The turtle walker shook the gum sleeve in his hand, then pinched Shangguan's face again, and said, "See, this new style of mask is of very good quality." It won't slide down until it's flushed with hot water. As soon as he heard the other party talk about this, Shangguan Ke was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, and even dodged the distance of three or four meters away from the turtle walker, and he put his two hands against his chest like a defensive xingxing, as if he was ready to dodge the plate of hot water that the turtle walker suddenly conjured up from somewhere.

He can see clearly: this turtlewalker spares no effort in order to show the xing energy of his own product. He doesn't care if you're disfigured or not, as long as the thing is sold, then everything will be fine.

Fortunately, the third young master also has a good sense of trust with his many years of friendship with the turtle walker, and he no longer doubted his friend's words, but just said, "So, what do you want me to do?" โ€

The turtle walker smiled slightly, and said the string of words that he had already hidden in his stomach, "This is my friend's patented product, and he doesn't want too much, he just wants to set up a sales point here for you to specialize in selling such masks." โ€

The third young master smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think that people who love to read will be interested in things like Facebook." โ€

"It's true that no one will be interested," the turtle walker nodded calmly, and then said, "In this case, you will know how wide the path we have traveled is in this batch of words. โ€

That's right, if all the goods are on the shelves in a bookstore like a place where there is almost no way to sell Facebook masks, then other supermarkets, pharmacies, mecha beauty shops and other places will be on the shelves and sold in larger quantities, which is an answer that can be deduced without thinking about it.

And after thinking of this, the third young master's eyes widened, and he said, "You really want to be that big?" โ€

The Turtle Walker smiled slightly and said, "That's right, we really want to be this big. โ€

When Shangguan heard this, although he was also one of the partners in this business, he was also shocked. He thought to himself, is the "boss" behind the two people talking about now really the Guchos he gets along with day and night? That stinky boy who has nothing to do all day and only relies on going to nightclubs and chasing beautiful cuties is really such an ambitious person?

With a hint of confusion, he smiled bitterly, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, it was a self-deprecating smile.

While he was thinking about it, the Third Young Master had already said, "If this is provided to you, then what benefits can I get?" โ€

"Excluding costs, for every Facebook sold, we'll give you half of the profits." This question seemed to be one that the Turtlewalker had already thought about, and he blurted out it almost without even thinking about it. Then, he stretched out three fingers, waved them in the air, and said, "That's a lot of money." โ€

"Thirty?" The third young master was thinking as he touched his head with his hand. He was thinking about it in real time. After all, every time he spends space to free up something from the book store, he also has to pay the corresponding opportunity cost. He's a lot more stingy when it comes to things other than books.

At this time, he seemed to have returned to the philistine and miserly appearance of a small merchant.

But Turtle Walker's words woke him up, because the uncle, who looked like the character in the comics, suddenly shook those three fingers and said, "Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood. You can earn not thirty dollars, but three hundred dollars. โ€

Three hundred? The Third Young Master's eyes widened almost suddenly with this keyword, his gaze shuffled out like a fox, and then stared at the slightly wrinkled face of the turtle walker, and said, "Three hundred? Do you mean that for every one of these masks sold, you make a net profit of six hundred dollars? โ€

The turtle walker nodded, disdainful of the third young master like he looked at a person who had just entered the city from the countryside, and then said, "If you listened carefully to what I said just now, then there is no need to confirm such a superficial matter with me. โ€

When the third young master was still in that stunned state and couldn't react, Shangguan had already taken over and asked, "Old Mr. Turtle, is what you said really true?" This kind of thing," he said, rubbing the skin of his face, "is it good, but would anyone really pay six or seven hundred dollars for it?" โ€

"Hahaha," the turtle walker seemed extremely proud, "to be exact, it's six hundred and eighty yuan, deducting the cost of eighty yuan and the cost of the passage, so there is a profit of six hundred yuan, which is absolutely feasible." โ€

"Heh, I don't see what kind of people would buy this kind of thing." Shangguan said puzzled.

"When you're popular enough, someone will naturally buy it." "Haven't you heard of Gujos's idol theory, fans are the craziest in chasing stars, as long as the finished product we launch is good, it will definitely be supported by them." โ€

Ha? Chasing stars? Is this product also a star product with the concept of "Qingqingxia"?

When Shangguan was worried in his heart, he had already seen the mystery from Gu Qiaosi's smiling expression. "That guy Gujos, he didn't even mention it to me!" He said with some indignation.

"Hahaha, Teacher Gujos said, you will definitely agree, there is no need to discuss such a trivial matter with you."

"A trifle?" Shangguan sensitively grasped such a keyword.

"That's right, so our first batch of products is already in production, and as soon as the access is negotiated, it can be launched throughout the arena overnight!" Turtlewalker spoke of the most glorious aspects of the plan, and his face could light up, and he stood up, his hands pressed tightly to the book, as if he could already see the money rolling in.

For such a strange scene in front of him, Shangguan was already a little overwhelmed. Now he still has only one problem. So he looked at Guchos and asked the question very dryly, "If that is the case, what is the purpose of your participation in this program?" โ€

Shangguan felt that the Turtle Walker was a person who loved to read. With such a pure and high-level interesting activity, Shangguan really couldn't see what the other party wanted to get in this activity.

"You're stupid, of course he wants money!" Just as Shangguan finished saying this string of words, the third young master spoke. Although his words did not have any flowery words, they hit the turtle walker's mind in one sentence.

The turtle walker laughed and said, "That's right, those who know me, it's really you, the dead thief." โ€

Although he has noble hobbies and feelings, he lives in this world, and he can't drink the northwest wind. Especially his hobby of reading books, that daring is also a money-burning thing, otherwise, every time he sees a book he likes in the bookstore, he doesn't even have the ability to spend money to buy it, this life is really boring......

The turtle walker didn't make his implicit meaning clear, but said, "How about it, after thinking about it, I'll take out the agreement, let's sign it." With that, he took out a small agreement from the shell behind his waist, which was about five or six pages of A4 paper, and handed it over, and he didn't know where to take another pen, and sent it to the third young master at once.

He thought it was a surefire business.

Whether it is driven by "interests" or considered by "friendship", there is no reason for the other party to refuse such a peace agreement. At most, if the third young master doesn't look up to the prospects of this project, it will be a matter of buying less goods and marking less sales areas.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he handed the water pen to his friend, the third young master shook his head gently.

"Huh?" Like Shangguan, the Turtle Walker was stunned.

"I'm sorry, brother, but before you, I had already contracted out the exclusive listing rights." The Third Young Master took out something like a scroll from his bosom with some apologies, and then slowly spread it out in front of Shangguan and the Turtle Walker. Although the packaging of this scroll is very elegant, it is really just a contract or something.

Well, it can be seen that the person who made this contract likes to pretend and stuff like that.

Shangguan noticed that the position of "Party A" in the contract was written with the name of a group, and he was not from the mall, and he was not sensitive to these things. He just felt that if he couldn't sign up for the bookstore he was in, then other supermarkets and other places might be more than lucky.

"Isn't it okay to sell it secretly?" Almost pleading, the turtlewalker asked his old friend again before leaving.

"Hehe," the third young master said with an embarrassed expression on his face, "If you can, I didn't need you to ask, I already took the initiative to tell you just now." He said: "The owner of the contract has really bought out the exclusivity, and if we breach the contract, the liquidated damages will be frighteningly high." โ€

Besides, mixing in the mall, reputation is the most cherished thing for businessmen. Although the Third Young Master did not say the truth at this level, Shangguan and the Turtle Walker could also feel it.

With a depressed mood, the two returned to the hotel where Shangguan was, and the rest of the groups also returned here one after another. After the group had gathered, Shangguan had already taken advantage of the gap of an hour in the middle to make up for sleep, and then, at the second meeting of all the staff, he was woken up by a middle-aged aunt next to him who didn't know what kind of staff he was.

The aunt reminded him, "Hurry up, don't sleep, young man, we are in a meeting." Although her face undoubtedly shows the traces of the years because of the lack of makeup, she has no intention of compromising on life, at this time, she is sitting in the standard room of this hotel with a serious face, sitting cross-legged on Shangguan's bed, and just now shook Shangguan from his sleep with one hand.

"It's really damn ......" Shangguan rubbed his already sleepy eyes, and then muttered.

At this time, all the people in the room came back, and it seemed that they had reported to Guchos separately just now, and at this time, Guchos was like a business leader, muttering to himself repeating the content of the subordinates' reports, and thinking about possible countermeasures, and said: "Sure enough, three-quarters of the channels have been blocked by the other party, so even if our products are more advanced, they can't be sold to consumers." โ€

No matter how good the goods are, if they can't be sold to consumers, they can't be converted into profits.

This principle is almost as simple as "one plus one equals two".

"Who's so crazy? Is it necessary to suppress our development? Aren't we a monopoly product, and we won't even be given food? In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and this voice just expressed everyone's heart.

"That's right." "That's right." "That's it." Everyone should agree with this point of view one by one, and the practice of the "robbers" who are killed halfway in an instant, in the whole room, in an instant, is simply called a righteous indignation!

However, Shangguan yawned inappropriately in the midst of this group of excited people, and said, "Well, that's right, since we have already discussed a result, it is better to dismiss the meeting now and everyone rest!" โ€

"Huh? Rest? What the! You say rest! The aunt who had just woken up Shangguan jumped on the bed all of a sudden, and the spring in the mattress made her rattle towards her weight of 160 pounds, she had a straight face, and she no longer had the gentleness and kindness that she had just called Shangguan to get up, one hand pointed at Shangguan, and asked: "What are you talking about, boy!" It is absolutely impossible for us to give up, as long as we give up in life, we will lose! โ€

Well, this aunt has become a philosopher who dances and teaches the great principles of life in an instant.

"Yes, we're not going to give up."

"That's right, we're going to kill that guy surnamed Wei!"

"That's right, just like Cao Cฤo's Wei State, those guys must also be big sluts!" Well, the remarks of this last brother directly offended a large group of Wei fans in the Three Kingdoms. But fortunately, the people at the scene didn't care so much, although there were many people, but after a while of nagging, everyone quickly came to a conclusion:

"I want to send someone to the 'Wei State' to get a little justice! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. โ€

As a result, the central topic of the meeting was quickly decided, and only one topic remained: who would do such a dangerous job?

The crowd conducted the "election" by anonymous voting, and in the end, when the votes were opened, Shangguan was elected with a four-fifths majority vote. The reasons are varied, as follows:

"'Qingqingxia' is the soul of our plan, and he has the most appeal."

"He's the strongest, and we trust him the most."

"He's the most handsome, let him go."

"I don't like him the most."

"He's disgusting......"

In short, it was a series of messy reasons that Shangguan himself couldn't react to, Shangguan sighed, and didn't know how to do it after thinking about it, so he just did it. (To be continued.) )
