Chapter 16 Agency (I)

On the morning of the 11th day of November, Geng Wenyang, like last time, bundled a hundred books in the back seat of the car, and rode to the big set in a hurry.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't care about selling around, and pushed the cart straight to the Zhangjia bookshelf. Before I got to the bookshelf, I saw Min Hui busy placing and packing up all kinds of books inside and out.

"Sister Xiaohui!" Geng Wenyang was the first to say hello and said, "I'm here to deliver the book again." ”

Min Hui smiled happily when he saw him: "Xiao Geng, you came so early." ”

"Don't dare to be late." Geng Wenyang said: "Don't delay your business. ”

"You kid really talk." Min Hui pursed her lips and smiled: "You are late and delaying your own business, how can you delay me?" ”

Geng Wenyang saw through his cheeky little trick of sticking up, and forced a smile on his face and said, "Sister, what else do we have to divide between you and me?" ”

"Go! Don't get close to me here! Min Hui chirped, "I haven't known you for long." ”

The relationship between the two of them quickly became closer, and Min Hui could finally ask her the question she was most concerned about: "Geng Wenyang, you wrote this novel so wonderfully, did you come up with these plots yourself?" ”

Geng Wenyang smiled faintly and said, "Sister, everything in the world is actually the same. As long as I grasp the main line of the development of the story, touch the bypass and change the face, isn't it a new wonderful story? ”

Geng Wenyang saw that Min Hui was listening thoughtfully, and continued with a smile: "My writing is aimed at ordinary people with different cultural levels. If you don't dig out your mind and work the plot, people won't be patient to read further. That's the reason, right? ”

Min Hui exclaimed, "Oh, what you said really makes sense. But...... How did you come up with these ideas? ”

Geng Wenyang explained: "Sister! The ancients said: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. I wrote this book to make money, and if I didn't understand how to attract readers, if I didn't sell the printed book, wouldn't I lose everything? Besides, I can't afford to pay for it! ”

As the communication between the two deepened, Min Hui felt that she was becoming more and more interested in Geng Wenyang.

A child who has only graduated from junior high school can not only write wonderful martial arts novels, but also speak insightful personal opinions, and the vision and depth of seeing problems are definitely beyond the height that his education and age can achieve.

"How can this guy have an inexplicable sense of mystery." Min Hui said secretly: "It always makes me want to find out about his interest." Tut...... It's so weird! ”

In addition to being moved, she kindly reminded: "Xiao Geng, your book only has the upper part, if there are both upper and lower parts, it will definitely sell better." ”

Geng Wenyang estimated: "I'm rushing to the draft, and if it's fast, the lower part may be printed before the Spring Festival." ”

"The big set was definitely more lively a year ago." Min Hui said: "In any case, you have to ensure that before the year, it is best to print out the lower part before the small year, and take advantage of the Spring Festival when there are many people!" ”

Geng Wenyang nodded in agreement: "Sister, what you said is so right. When I go back, I will do my best to rush the manuscript, and I will definitely ensure that I will take out the next book before the Spring Festival. ”

If you want to print the lower part of the book after it is written, you still have to pay a part of the deposit first, and Geng Wenyang has invested all the money in the upper book, and so far less than 200 books have been sold, and it is still far from the goal of returning to the book.

Money is a big problem, how can it be solved?

Geng Wenyang's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly had a brilliant idea. He hesitated slightly, then turned his mind and said, "Sister Xiaohui, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

Min Hui smiled: "You can say anything." ”

"Sister, that's what I think...... Geng Wenyang explained: "What you just said is quite reasonable, it's not easy to sell just the upper book, and it's easy to sell some when the upper and lower parts are together." ”

Min Hui nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth, no one wants to buy a half-cut book and go back to read." ”

"But I don't have enough money right now." Geng Wenyang explained: "If you want to print 1,000 copies of the lower part, you need at least 2,500 yuan. And I've only sold for more than 500 yuan now, which is only a fraction of a penny. ”

Min Huihui was blue-hearted, guessed his mind at the moment, and smiled lightly: "You want to ask me to borrow money?" ”

"No......" Geng Wenyang grinned and said, "I want to invite you to be the general agent of this set of books." In other words, you lend me money to print books, and when the books are printed, you have full control to sell them, no matter how much money you make. In other words, I am responsible for writing the book, and you have the final say on the business matters, and the two of us will make a profit together on this project. Sister, do you think this method is okay? ”

"What...... What?! Min Hui never thought that she would have such a way of thinking, she helped to print the books written by Geng Wenyang, and all the profits from the market after printing them belonged to her.

This kind of thinking is too bizarre, and the temptation is also ridiculous.

"How does this work?" Min Huiyan said insincerely: "All the money you earn belongs to me, aren't you busy in vain?" ”

Geng Wenyang saw that her eyes were shining, and he knew that the other party's mind had moved, so he smiled and said, "Why am I working in vain?" The price you will be given will definitely include my hard-earned money, but the little money I earn is nothing compared to the profits you make. ”

Min Hui knew that what he said was true, and subconsciously rubbed his hands with joy in his heart and said, "Oops! In that case, aren't you losing a lot? ”

Geng Wenyang smiled indifferently and said, "Do you take what you need, it's decided." But I only have about 500 yuan in my hand, and if I want to print 1,000 copies, I have to trouble you to lend me 2,000 yuan. ”

"A thousand copies is too little, how can you print three thousand copies!" Min Hui carefully calculated: "Three thousand copies will be printed on the lower part, and another two thousand copies will be printed on the upper part." The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the new set of martial arts novels will definitely sell well. ”

Geng Wenyang smiled bitterly: "Sister, you have to pay at least more than 10,000 yuan for 5,000 books!" Where do you get all this money? ”

The purchase price of each book is three yuan, and at least four yuan can be sold at the bookstall for more than four yuan, and 5,000 copies can earn more than 6,000 yuan, which is definitely a lot of income in 1987.

The sudden fall of such a large pie from the sky makes people almost float with joy just thinking about it.

Min Hui immediately decided: "I'll figure out a way for money, it's important for you to write the lower part quickly." In addition, don't sell the upper part of the book first, and wait for the lower part to be printed to make a set before selling. ”

If he didn't have to worry about the sales of the book, Geng Wenyang could have devoted all his energy to writing the book, and Min Hui's proposal couldn't have been better.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Geng Wenyang nodded in agreement.

The two of them were about to further discuss other details of cooperation, when they suddenly heard someone behind them say angrily: "Xiaohui, what are you two talking about?" Why is it such a happy method? ”

Geng Wenyang turned his head to look, but it was Cao Yudong, who was a thief with rat eyes and a lewd description, and came to Min Hui's booth with a shy face through the inspection.
