18. Transactions

The bookstore is bustling with activity, and the aisles, which are not too wide, are crowded with customers, admiring the books inside, but many people are disappointed.

Liu Bai walked to the door of the store, just in time to see the boss standing in front of the counter with a smile on his face, his eyes scanning the surroundings to prevent someone from stealing books.

When he saw Liu Bai coming, he beckoned: "Little brother, what, do you want to come and buy the Nine Rank Martial Arts?" ”

"Do you look down on me. Liu Bai said seriously.

The boss laughed twice and said: "This is not a big price reduction, even if the little brother can't use it, he can buy it for friends or family, such a cheap nine-grade martial art is very difficult to find." ”

Liu Bai nodded, casually flipped through the martial arts in the bookstore, and asked, "Is that all?" ”

"It's not. The boss shook his head, took a copy of martial arts, and threw it in front of Liu Bai. "It's this one, and only this one is sold cheaply. ”

"You hired so many people to copy this book and sell it. Liu Bai pretended to be surprised, lowered his head and flipped through the books in his hand.

This is a book of flame swordsmanship, nine-grade martial arts, the color on the book has become very thin, and it is almost impossible to see the red color in it, I don't know how many people have practiced it.

Rao, the book sales are also quite hot, after all, some children from poor families can study. Although it can't help it break through the realm, if you practice this Flame Sword Technique to perfection, it can also have some faint benefits in combat.

However, the text in this book is decent, occasionally some ink spills on the corners, and even when you turn the book, you can smell the smell of ink in the air, obviously just printed.

For such a situation, Liu Bai was very surprised, but he didn't expect that someone had already figured out the printing technique, but it was the oldest version, not the kind of yang character mold that could be flexibly used engraved on the cement.

When he looked up at the boss, he found that the boss was looking at him with a smile, his smile mixed with a hint of mystery, and he was very proud.

This printing method is dozens of times faster than hand-copying, and it is completely possible to mass produce books, this method is a method researched by his uncle who is far away in Qingyun City, and it has not yet spread, so he wants to take this opportunity to hurry up his time to seek benefits.

The young man in front of him has always maintained an indifferent expression, although he doesn't know what the other party is, but he dares to guarantee that no matter what the other party is, he must have never seen such a secret method.

Liu Bai naturally saw the other party's thoughts, smiled and said: "It's not a good way to scrap a book after printing it, after all, no one wants to share their martial arts." Once it is shared and studied, it will be full of flaws, and it will be him who will die. ”

The boss's face changed, but he didn't expect Liu Bai to say such a thing. He was just a businessman, and after hearing about this method, he immediately began to try printing martial arts, but he didn't expect anything about the flaw.

What surprised him even more was that this method had not been circulated on the mainland, how could Liu Bai know about this method!

It's amazing!

Liu Bai slowly placed the book on the stone steps and said, "This person who created such a method is also a genius, but he is only a little worse than me. ”

The boss hurriedly walked around the counter and walked in front of Liu Bai, bowed down and said, "Little brother, I am the owner of the bookstore, you can just call me Zhang Laoer." ”

"I don't swear. Liu Bai said seriously.

“...... That's just calling me Lao Zhang. Zhang Lao Er was silent for a moment and continued. "Listening to the little brother, is there any other way?"

"There is a way, of course, but this method is very complicated to say, and it will not be clear for a while. Liu Bai sighed.

"Oh, can the little brother go to the back room and talk about it in detail. Zhang Lao Er squinted his eyes and said with a smile. "If there is any need, the little brother can bring it up and take a look. ”

"Let's talk about it here, too lazy to go. Liu Bai waved his hand. "My conditions are very simple, just give me your bookstore. ”

Zhang Lao Er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Isn't the appetite of the little brother too big, and I want to exchange it for a bookstore in one way." ”

"My method can make you dozens or even hundreds of bookstores, my method is called printing, but the efficiency is hundreds of times higher than your method. Liu Bai shrugged and said.

Zhang Lao Er was silent for a moment, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, he paused, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Little brother, seeing that you are full of energy, have you also started to cultivate?"

"Cultivation?" Liu Bai smiled and said. "I never cultivated. ”

"Hahaha. Zhang Lao Er said with a smile. "Then let's go into the back room to discuss in detail, this condition is not unacceptable, but there are some formalities that need to be handed over, and I also have to verify whether what you said is right or wrong. ”

"Yes. Liu Bai nodded.

Zhang Lao Er was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly turned to the side, and said, "Please, please!"

When Liu Bai walked towards the back room, Zhang Lao Er quietly made a gesture, and the two men who had been standing on both sides and staring at the guests quietly followed.

The back room of the bookstore is like a large independent courtyard, with two houses on the east side, a small room on the west side, and a gazebo in the middle, with a marble round table and four stools.

At this time, there was no one in the backyard, and it seemed very deserted. Instead, Zhang Lao Er warmly invited Liu Bai to come to the pavilion and beckoned his subordinates to pour water.

Liu Bai naturally knew the other party's thoughts, and it seemed that the other party was ready to lure him into saying a way first, and then break the contract. However, he didn't worry about these problems, because Zhang Lao Er in front of him was an ordinary person, and the two people who followed him were only the strength of the nine-star fighters, and they were not of the same grade as himself at all.

"Little brother, the first time I saw you, I knew that you must not be an ordinary person. Although we can't cultivate, we can also break through the sky with our own abilities. Cultivators don't need money differently, and if we have money, we have strength. So the little brother must be an extraordinary character in the future. Zhang Lao Er said with a smile.

"Well, I think so, too. Liu Bai sighed and said with emotion on his face.

“......”

The corners of Zhang Laoer's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't expect Liu Bai to be so direct, according to the logic of normal thinking, he shouldn't have been polite to himself, how could he actually agree!

This makes him how to continue the following rhetoric!

"Ahem......" Zhang Lao Er coughed awkwardly and said. "I think so, too, but let's get straight to the point. Little brother, if you want a bookstore, I can give it, but I always have to make sure that it doesn't work, don't you say?"

"Signing and drawing, what I said is absolutely not false. If you have the ability, you will definitely be able to make you a rich man. It's just that I don't have the energy and don't want to do it. Liu Bai's fingers tapped rhythmically twice on the stone table, and said softly. "Well, you think about it. ”

"Okay. Zhang Lao Er glanced at Liu Bai with an embarrassed face, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded. "Then you wait for me, I'll go get the paper and pen. ”

After saying that, he glanced at the person behind him and led him towards the room.
