Chapter 261: Printing
Liu Man'er listened on the side and admired the new patience of the Korean style, no matter what Yan Ruifan said to him, he was not annoyed, but explained to him seriously, Liu Man'er said in her heart that if it was herself, she would not explain so much to him.
It seems that she is really not a business material, she just has more ideas than others, if it is completely operated by her, with her temper I don't know how much business will be turned away, and it is impossible to have so much development, fortunately, they are still loyal, with their help, she feels that she is really lucky.
In the end, the business between Han Shixin and Yan Ruifan was finally negotiated, and he did not print any spring palace pictures, but just asked the printing workshop to help print some scripts, but on these scripts, Yan Ruifan provided a new idea, and he hoped to see more character paintings in this book.
The illustrations that Liu Man'er drew before were all simple landscape paintings, if there were some character paintings, presumably the business would be very good, but Liu Man'er was afraid of the people in the printing workshop and couldn't carve the expressive appearance of these characters, so she didn't let them print.
But now that Yan Ruifan said this, Liu Man'er's thoughts came alive again, before this, Liu Man'er just thought that the technology here was not good, and she couldn't print the expressiveness of the characters, but now that she thinks about it, the technology here is not good, but she can study these technologies.
Technology is all researched by people, and she only provided an idea, so she developed movable type printing, and if you study it carefully, you may not be able to invent a better way to print pictures.
Liu Man'er's mind has turned, in modern times there are all kinds of machines, just a touch of a button, a lifelike image is printed, but in this ancient time how to better print these images?
If it is printed by the ancient wood carving method, it must not work, and how difficult it must be to carve an image of a person, and when printing, there must be other ways.
"Actually, I thought about letting some great painters put my book in the form of pictures and spread it to the world, after all, there are still many people in our Daliang who like this book, but they can't read, if it can be printed into a comic book, they will definitely like it very much." Liu Man'er smiled slightly and said to the two.
"That's a good idea." Yan Ruifan also glanced up at Liu Man'er.
"Your idea is very good, but it would be too much trouble to ask someone to carve these things." Han Shixin was not confused by Liu Man'er's words, he thought more realistically.
"It's a lot of trouble, so we have to come up with a new way." The corners of Liu Man'er's mouth hooked, although she said that she wanted to find a way, but it inexplicably gave people a feeling of confidence.
"Do you have a solution?" Yan Ruifan put down the teacup and looked at her slowly with his eyes.
Liu Man'er didn't answer his question directly, but smiled at him: "Young Master Yan, do you want someone to print your Spring Palace map for you?" ”
"Shopkeeper Ye, you really didn't disappoint me." Yan Ruifanfu picked up the teacup again, I don't know why, since the first time he saw Liu Man'er, he had a strange opinion of her, and he thought she was extraordinary in his heart.
At that time, she was still an ordinary country girl, and she was really incomparable with the big shopkeeper who now has dozens of shops.
What's more, she owns the whole city and even the best printing house in the whole Liang, and she can write stories that are praised by the world, obviously she is just a country woman, and he has seen her stories, and he is amazed by those imaginative and unbridled things.
He knew that the stories she wrote about the station might have been influenced by her husband, but those about martial arts and Xianxia made him breathtaking.
He sometimes even wonders if she is a person, but sometimes, you have to believe that some people are geniuses, and those who listen to the story will naturally not think about who wrote the story, but if they know one day that these stories were written by an ordinary country woman, I am afraid they will also be dumbfounded.
There is also her printing workshop, how much it costs to print books, how troublesome the engraving is, after all, as a deep-rooted businessman, they also have a printing workshop, but they have never printed these books in large quantities like this, at most they just print a few poems for some tea parties, so he has always doubted that she can open this printing workshop, whether there is any special technology.
He said that he wanted to print the picture of the Spring Palace, but he just said casually, wanting to test her true strength, but now listening to her tone, it is really possible to print this kind of picture, which is surprising.
"Owner, you ......" Seeing Liu Man'er casually say something like the Spring Palace Map, Han Shixin also blushed with his old face, and he was stunned for a while, seeing that Liu Man'er and Yan Ruifan both looked at him with very open eyes, waiting for his later text, he simply let it go, and said: "This Spring Palace map, I'm afraid that no master in our printing workshop can carve, and this carving is too laborious." ”
"This depends on the price given by Young Master Yan, as long as the price is high, I believe there will be a master's carving." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, and squeezed her eyebrows at Yan Ruifan: "I don't know how much Young Master Yan is willing to bid?" ”
"I'm afraid the price is too high, I can't afford it, but if Shopkeeper Ye is willing to print a Journey to the West atlas, I think I will draw it and buy it at a high price." Yan Ruifan's eyes were indifferent, he had no intention of printing these Raush pictures.
"Okay." Liu Man'er slumped down and said, "I didn't expect that Young Master Yan you were making fun of me before, just let me think I didn't hear it." ”
Liu Man'er actually said so casually, she is a Sven person, how can she print this thing, and if she wants to print, this carving may fall on her, so she won't do it.
"Okay, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." Liu Man'er tidied up her skirt, stood up, and said to Han Shixin: "Uncle Han, you can help me entertain Young Master Yan well, although everyone who comes to our printing workshop has to pay the full amount, Young Master Yan is my friend, you give him a 20% discount, and the remaining 20% of the payment will be given when it is delivered." ”
"Hey......" Yan Ruifan suddenly stood up and called Liu Man'er, and when Liu Man'er turned around, he said, "What about saying that a good friend would give me a 20% discount?" ”
At this moment, Liu Man'er also thought he was very cute, but she wouldn't give him cheap because he was cute, so she just said: "Uncle Han has already made you a lot cheaper just now, and now I only need to ask you for eighty percent of the payment first, which is already enough for friends." ”
"Well, in this way, I don't miss a cent." Yan Ruifan waved his hand.
"How so? If you can pay for the goods later, doesn't it reduce your financial pressure? Besides, I'm really already giving you the best price. Liu Man'er said: "If you have a lot of money, you can choose to pay the full amount." ”
"I'll give you fifty percent of the payment first." Yan Ruifan looked at Liu Man'er and opened his mouth to say; "I'll give you the rest of the money when I sell it."
"Okay." Liu Man'er didn't hesitate, that is, he said that he wanted to sell it all and give her the payment, and she thought she would agree, after all, he was her friend.
After talking about this matter, Liu Man'er walked out, and after walking out of the door, she did not go back to her room or go to see Rourou, but turned around and walked to the next room, and coughed softly behind a woman in pink.
"Ahem."
Suddenly hearing Liu Man'er's cough, Ye He, who was peeking next door in the house, was startled.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Man'er asked out loud.
"I, I ......" She hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't name it.
"You're not eavesdropping on our conversations, trying to find out some of our trade secrets, are you?" In fact, she found out that she was eavesdropping just now when they were talking, so she found an opportunity to come over.
"No, no." Ye He hurriedly waved his hand, and said while walking out shyly; "I'm going to find out some trade secrets, and I'm not interested in these things."
"I'm afraid that at your age, will you fall in love with some young man outside, and then be used by him......" Liu Man'er glanced at her inquiringly.
"Sister-in-law, you really have a lot of imagination." Ye He said a little stupidly, "I'm not interested in the young man outside." But she changed her mind and said, "Even if I am interested in him, I will try to convince him to be used by my sister-in-law." ”
Ye He approached Liu Man'er very doggedly and said: "After all, sister-in-law, you are the pillar of our family, although I am young, I will never do anything contrary to the interests of the family."
"Silly girl." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand and nodded her nose and said, "Sister-in-law is just joking with you, isn't sister-in-law worried about you?" I'm just afraid that when you first fall in love, you will secretly like some people you shouldn't like. ”
"What kind of person should I not like?" Ye He heard Liu Man'er say this, so he asked.
"There's no one you shouldn't like." Liu Man'er shook her head and said: "On the premise of not hurting others, you can like anyone, liking is your personal business, I am afraid that you will hurt others and hurt the people you care about because of your like." ”
"Then I won't." Ye He nodded, with a relaxed smile on his face.
It's over, this girl really has someone she likes, shouldn't the normal performance be to say: No one likes anyone?
Back in the living room, Cao'er was sitting by the window practicing the piano seriously, and when she saw Liu Man'er coming, she quickly got up from the embroidery stool and rushed to Liu Man'er's side: "Sister, have you negotiated your business?" ”
"It's settled." Liu Man'er walked inside and said, "Do you call this practice?" As soon as I came over, you found out, which means that you are not serious. ”
