Chapter Ninety-Five: Big Nephew, Uncle Thirteen Really Has No Money
Three days later, Zhu Yunxi's Three Flavors Book House officially opened.
Stimulated by the strong banknote ability, the silver bureau also gave full play to its subjective initiative, and finally printed the first batch of 1,000 books at the fastest speed.
As for the remaining 9,000 volumes, they are also expected to be completed in ten days.
In order not to make the bookstore look empty, Zhu Yunxi also purchased a batch of four books and five classics to decorate the façade.
When Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gui were dreaming of making a fortune, reality gave him a slap in the face.
The performance on the first day was zero, and on the second day, two sets of four books and five classics were sold, and twenty taels of cash were harvested, and the net profit was still zero.
Because his main focus is not a textbook, but a small talking book. Therefore, in terms of the pricing of the Four Books and the Five Classics, it is basically sold at the original price.
On the third day, three copies were finally sold, but two copies were returned before the afternoon closing.
Although there is still a copy that has not been returned, the buyer has already come to say hello, saying that he forgot where to put it, and he will come back to return the book when he finds it!
Such a dismal performance not only made Zhu Yunxi doubt himself, but even Zhu Gui questioned him, the eldest nephew.
"Big nephew, didn't you tell me that you are guaranteed to make a lot of money, why are there three days later, and I haven't made a penny, but I have put in a lot of tea money?"
"Uncle Thirteen, don't worry, the subject matter of this script is too novel, and you have to give the market a period of time to adapt......"
"Really?"
Zhu Gui was suspicious, but after three more days passed, and still not a single copy was sold, this house was completely popular.
"Big nephew, what the hell are you writing, no one buys it at all!"
"You pay me back, I won't play with you anymore!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this, wasn't the reason why he was looking for Zhu Gui to partner at that time was to share the risk.
Now at the beginning, I want to return the money for this goods, but there is no door!
"Uncle Thirteen, you're wrong, you have to have confidence in our business!"
"Besides, the theme of fantasy is like this, and if the number of words is less, you can't see the effect at all."
"Otherwise, let's print another batch, and the story will definitely sell well after it is coherent!"
Zhu Gui's whole body was numb when he heard this.
"Still printed?"
Zhu Yunxi said helplessly.
"Anyway, I don't have any money now, if you back down now, all the money you invested before will be wasted."
Zhu Gui saw Zhu Yunxi say this, gritted his teeth and said.
"Good!"
"I'll Believe You Again......"
Three days have passed, and two copies of Dou Po have been printed in a row, but still not a single one has been sold.
After Zhu Gui learned of this achievement, he directly killed Zhu Yunxi's small courtyard in the prince's mansion.
"Big nephew, you come out for me, I promise not to kill you!"
Zhu Yunxi was also absolutely ashamed of this thirteenth uncle, and he didn't go to class for two days in a row, but he still found him at home.
"Uncle Thirteen, I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and I think there's something wrong with our business model!"
Zhu Gui raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a dissatisfied face.
"What's the problem?"
"I think there's something wrong with your brain, what kind of stuff are you writing, dogs don't want to read it!"
As soon as Zhu Gui's voice fell, Zhu Yunxi suddenly came out of the room.
"Uncle Thirteen, I'm willing to watch it, I like it!"
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor!"
"Third brother, hurry up and write the back, I still want to see Yao Lao!"
Zhu Yunxi patted Zhu Yunxi's head dotingly, and looked at Zhu Gui proudly.
"Uncle Thirteen, there are still people who like to read my books!"
Zhu Gui became even more angry when he heard this, and stomped his feet on the ground angrily.
"You're embarrassed to say it!"
"Of the princes and grandsons in our main hall, only a few children under the age of ten like it!"
"Who are you going to sell this kind of broken book to!"
Seeing that Zhu Gui was so angry, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly pulled him into the house to drink tea, and then continued to fool.
"Uncle Thirteen, I have a new model in mind!"
"A new theme like ours shouldn't be sold for money in the early stage, it should be given away for free!"
"Hang the reader's appetite first, and then make money from the follow-up stories!"
When Zhu Gui heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and Zhu Yunxi immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Uncle Thirteen, in all fairness, what is my writing!"
Zhu Gui pouted.
"No, there's no passion play at all, it's all vernacular......"
Zhu Yunxi is not happy to listen to this, the first element of the novel is easy to understand, what is the use of making so many literary and crepe terms?
"Uncle Thirteen, my book is easy to understand and suitable for all ages, this is a huge advantage!"
"And the ups and downs of the storyline of my book, and the great anticipation of the three-year covenant, don't you want to see the scene of the protagonist killing and killing?"
Zhu Gui's heart was already a little moved when he heard this.
He has seen the follow-up draft, and if you remove the shortcomings of not having a passion play, the overall story is really good and very attractive.
"Uncle Thirteen, listen to my advice, let's print another set, and then add the first two sets to make a series, and give it to the students of Guozijian for free......"
"Then I'll believe you again?"
Another period of time has passed, and Sanwei Bookstore is still losing money, and the loss of money is very stable.
Zhu Gui also sees it now, he shouldn't believe in that kid's evil, and go to partner with him to open a Raushzi bookstore to make money.
Now that the money has not been earned, not to mention, the carriage in and out of the palace has been lost, and he can only walk on two legs.
Zhu Yunxi also felt very guilty, and always wanted to make up for his poor thirteenth uncle, but he was really poor.
"Uncle Thirteen!"
"Who are you, I don't know you, you get away from this king!"
Zhu Gui ignored Zhu Yunxi's enthusiasm and walked outside the palace with a full food box.
When Zhu Yunxi saw this, he blamed himself even more.
Although when Zhu Gui used to go to school, he also carried food boxes in and out every day. But now the function of this food box has long changed, from the original restaurant food to the empty out. It has evolved into the current embarrassment of coming in empty and going out with a big pot of rice in the palace.
Unconsciously, the thirteenth uncle of his own family has been pitted by himself, and he can't even afford to go to the restaurant......
Just when Zhu Yunxi was secretly blaming himself, Zheng Yuanchang, the ambassador of the Silver Bureau, suddenly came up.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun, when will the money you owe last time be settled......
"Also, is the fifth book still printed?"
After Zhu Gui withdrew his shares, Zhu Yunxi threw all the money in his family and printed a book.
is now blocked by Zheng Yuanchang to ask for debts, which deeply stimulates Zhu Yunxi's self-esteem.
"Print!"
"Ten copies are printed, and I don't believe that it can't be popular!"
"The money?"
"If you send someone to fetch it at noon tomorrow, you will definitely have a lot of money!"
"Okay, I'm relieved to have His Highness's words."
Zhu Yunxi sent Zheng Yuanchang away, and immediately caught up with Zhu Gui, who was about to leave the palace.
"Uncle Thirteen, you wait for me!"
Zhu Gui suddenly heard his eldest nephew calling him, and he was so frightened that he ran away, and he ran away without a trace.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi stopped with a look of chagrin on his face, thinking with hatred in his heart. Today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unattainable!
However, just as he was thinking like this, Zhu Gui walked back again.
When Zhu Yunxi saw Zhu Gui again, he immediately showed a happy expression on his face, but before he could speak, Zhu Gui took the lead and said.
"Eldest nephew, Uncle Thirteen really has no money, my carriage has been compensated by you, and if you pay more, you will have to sell the palace!"
"Uncle Thirteen, I'm not here to ask you for money, I want you to do me a favor and help me sell a few pieces of jade, or pawn them out."
As soon as Zhu Gui heard that he was not asking for money, he was immediately relieved.
"It's easy to sell things, but Uncle Thirteen has to persuade you, your book is destined to lose money, so you should break it quickly!"
"In addition, just now your second uncle's family will come to spread the word, saying that the second uncle has a banquet in the evening, please come over to the banquet."
"I specially named you and Zhu Yunwen's names, saying that you must both be there!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard that it was the invitation of the second uncle King Qin, his heart was more or less moved.
He had long heard that the Qin Palace, known as the Little Imperial Palace, was built in great luxury.
It can be seen that the second uncle of his family is definitely not bad for money, can he get some pig hair from him and support him to stick to the cause of writing books?
"Uncle Thirteen, you said that if I look for the second uncle to sponsor something, can he give me this face?"
