Chapter 28 On Cooperation
After the two returned to Changshu, it was still early.
Before the carriage could stop, he saw the bookseller who had come to visit, waiting anxiously outside the door.
"What do you have to do?"
After getting off the carriage, Xu Han was a little curious in his conscience.
"Childe, good news, I am sending money to you this time."
The bookseller's face was full of joy and he said with a smile.
"What money?"
Xu Hanliang was a little puzzled.
"The book "Palace of Eternal Life" written by Childe has now become a hot commodity again."
"The 1,000 copies we originally printed were sold out in just one day."
The bookseller replied honestly.
Then he took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom and put them on the stone table beside him.
"This is the money for the first phase, and the rest of the money will be sent over later."
The bookseller looked at Xu Hanliang and smiled from ear to ear.
Now not only Changshu, but also the entire Liangzhejiang literary circle, "The Palace of Eternal Life" and "The Legend of the West Chamber" have begun to become popular.
Among them, the popularity of "The Legend of the West Chamber" can be said to be the most popular in the past.
It is said that even in Bianjing, this "The Legend of the West Chamber" has begun to have some names.
However, this reputation is mixed.
In addition to the likes of some talented women and talents, some old scholars and old Confucians regard this "Legend of the West Chamber" as a book of moral corruption.
Since ancient times, this marriage has been the order of parents and the words of matchmaking.
But "The Legend of the West Chamber" put all these aside, and actually wrote about elopement in a grand manner.
Thinking of this, those old pedants trembled with anger, and the winter was as cold as winter.
Therefore, for this "The Legend of the West Chamber", it is also extremely critical of its ability, but criticism is criticism.
Although the book is not very popular, it has nothing to do with its sales at all.
It's a pity that Xu Hanliang was a one-time buyout before, otherwise he would definitely be able to make a lot of money now.
However, Xu Hanliang couldn't help it, he was really short of money before, so he could only sell the copyright at one time.
With the popularity of "The Legend of the West Chamber", Xu Hanliang's name began to resound all over the country.
Because of this, many people who can't grab "The Legend of the West Chamber" have already begun to grab "The Palace of Eternal Life".
After Xu Hanliang accepted the twenty taels of silver, he turned around and prepared to return home.
Before he could open the door, a person dressed as a small guy hurried over.
"Hey, Childe, why did you come back?"
After the little guy saw Xu Hanliang, he said a little eagerly.
"What's wrong again?"
Xu Hanliang frowned.
"I'm a guy from the Red Mansion, our shopkeeper came over this morning, and I didn't see Your Excellency, so I let you keep an eye here, which can be regarded as looking forward to you."
The little guy replied with a smile.
Hearing the word Red Mansion, Xu Hanliang naturally understood that he was here for MSG.
Now Xu Hanliang is indeed a little short of money.
And I still need to warm books every night, so naturally I don't have much time to make MSG.
If this matter is handed over to the childish mother, the childish mother will be a little busy.
So after hearing these words, Xu Hanliang immediately spoke: "If you can, you can find your shopkeeper, I have something I want to discuss with him." β
The little guy was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Okay." β
Not long after Xu Hanliang entered the room, Sun Chengde hurried over.
After seeing Xu Hanliang, he said enthusiastically: "Childe, what do you have to say?" β
"I don't know if Shopkeeper Sun is interested in my family's heirloom seasoning?"
Xu Hanliang looked at Sun Chengde and said with a smile.
When Sun Chengde heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Childe, isn't this handed down from your ancestors?" How can it be sold again? β
This sentence made Xu Hanliang a little embarrassed, and after coughing lightly twice, he spoke: "Mr. Jiefu once said that the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be compassionate, and this ancestral thing is naturally to be carried forward." β
Although Sun Chengde already had a number in his heart, he didn't say anything.
"In that case, how much is Childe going to ask for?"
In business, Sun Chengde then asked.
At this time, he was already ready for heavy bleeding, even if it was five hundred taels of silver, he would buy this secret recipe.
"After all, it's an ancestral thing, so it's naturally not good to sell it directly, I want to cooperate with you."
Xu Hanliang said his thoughts at this time.
The flexible ancestral method has been moved out again.
"What kind of cooperation is it?"
Sun Chengde then asked.
"It's very simple, that is, you produce and sell, and I make the formula, I don't want much, thirty percent of the profit."
Xu Hanliang looked at Sun Chengde and said the price.
"Sancheng?"
Sun Chengde jumped in fright when he heard this profit margin.
"Shopkeeper Sun, don't make such a fuss."
Xu Hanliang stood up and pressed the surprised Sun Chengde back.
"My mysterious seasoning, I named it MSG, do you know how much that pound of MSG costs?"
Xu Hanliang looked at Sun Chengde and said mysteriously.
"This, the price is 800 Wen, and a pound of MSG will cost at least 400, right?"
Sun Chengde thought about it for a while and gave a price that he thought was very low.
"No, two hundred wen."
Xu Hanliang immediately shook his head and had a showdown with Sun Chengde.
"Two hundred wen? You sell me 800 Wen? Quadruple profits? β
Sun Chengde's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
"Therefore, the profit of thirty percent is not high, and there are quite a few things left by my ancestor, depending on whether you are willing to cooperate."
Xu Hanliang continued.
When Sun Chengde heard this, he began to hesitate: "Childe, let me discuss this matter with our landlord, after all, it is not a trivial matter." β
Sun Chengde's words were no problem, Xu Hanliang nodded immediately.
"In that case, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xu Hanliang stood up, and then bid farewell to Sun Chengde.
The young lady who had been standing next to her just now stood up.
Muttered: "Childe, is it possible that the secret recipe is really going to be sold?" But I have a tael of silver every day. β
When Xu Hanliang heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Do you think that after the secret recipe is sold, we won't be able to make this money?" β
Zhiniang nodded: "It's okay for Zhiniang to be tired, as long as you earn more money, you will redeem the master in the future." β
Hearing these words, Xu Hanliang could only smile helplessly, he didn't expect her to be so naΓ―ve.
"Childish, this formula is in our hands, at most one or two silver a day."
"If you cooperate with others, then you will have at least a hundred taels of silver every day."
Xu Hanliang smiled and touched the child's head.
"But isn't that a businessman? If you don't produce every day, how can you get so much silver for nothing? β
The young lady is still a little worried.
"Don't worry, we don't earn the poor's money, after we earn the money, we can still help the poor."
Regarding the idea of the childish girl who is detached from the two eras, Xu Hanliang can only respond helplessly.
