Chapter 40: Good Guys

Xin Yu never expected to hear these words from the mouth of the dignified Jinlin Wei Zhen Fu Envoy, so that a crack appeared in his always indifferent expression.

He Qingxiao lowered his eyes to hide his embarrassment.

His behavior is really nosy, but it is not easy to think of an orphan girl, and he can't see that she spends so much extra money.

Xin Yu regained her composure, and bent her knees slightly at He Qingxiao: "Thank you, Lord He, for reminding me." This price...... It was negotiated between me and the original owner of Qingsong Bookstore, and we were both very satisfied. ”

He Qingxiao was silent, and said softly: "That is the case, then I wish Miss Kou a prosperous business." Oh, will Miss Kou continue to open a bookstore? ”

"Well, I just wanted to open a bookstore, so I took a fancy to Qingsong Bookstore."

Seeing the girl's smiling appearance, He Qingxiao didn't say that it was not easy to open a bookstore opposite Yaxin Bookstore, but congratulated him again and walked out.

Waiting for Xin Yu to sit opposite the original owner of Qingsong Bookstore, the other party's different colors were not concealed at all.

Xin Yu already knew the young man's name, and his name was Shen Ning.

"Miss Kou is familiar with Lord He?"

Xin Yu's expression was calm: "Lord He once saved me." ”

"Oh, oh, lifesaver." Shen Ning nodded indiscriminately, and couldn't help but ask, "Ahem, Miss Kou, you bought Qingsong Bookstore for 'two' ten thousand taels, Lord He won't trouble me, right?" ”

For two thousand taels to offend Jinlinwei's envoy, it's not cost-effective.

Xin Yuwaner: "How so. Today is the third time I have met Mr. He, who heard that I had bought a bookstore, so he was just curious to ask. ”

"That's good." Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed, and said with a smile, "If Miss Kou continues to open the bookstore, then she will see Master He often." ”

Facing Xin Yu's puzzled eyes, Shen Ning explained with a smile: "Lord He especially likes to come to the bookstore to read. ”

is also like this, he is actually not so afraid of this Jinlin Wei pacification envoy. He always felt that Lord He was different from those Jin Linwei.

"Lord He is a long-term person, the bookstore opposite snatched all the guests, and he still came to our Qingsong bookstore to read books." Shen Ning said, reacting, "In the future, it won't be Qingsong Bookstore, has Miss Kou thought of a new name?" ”

Saying this, the young man had no sadness, only the ease of throwing off the burden.

There is no need to fill in the hole of the bookstore, and there is no need to look for a gentleman who can write books everywhere, let alone secretly buy Mr. Ping'an's new book to read.

In the future, he will be a pure word book person.

"The name of Qingsong Bookstore is very good, and I plan to continue to call it this name."

She wants to find the owner of the "Peony Story", and "The Peony Story" is from Qingsong Bookstore, and it is undoubtedly more conducive to finding people by keeping the name of the bookstore.

Shen Ning was shocked: "Miss Kou doesn't plan to change her name?" ”

In this way, in the future, no matter whether the bookstore makes money or loses, Qingsong Bookstore will still be there, and the old man will not scold him underground.

There are such good people in the world.

Shen Ning was moved, and the next handover was extremely happy, and even whispered to Xin Yu: "Miss Kou, I still have a lot of shops, if you want to buy it, the price is negotiable, we can also make two contracts." ”

Xin Yu: "......" This is really a cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed.

"If there is a need in the future, I will find Shen Gongzi."

"Okay, let's be mutually beneficial."

Earning an extra two thousand taels, Shen Ning left happily.

took back 10,000 taels more, Xin Yu was also in a good mood, and asked the shopkeeper to call all the people from the bookstore, which was the first time to meet everyone as the owner.

The people in the bookstore are divided into three parts, there are two people in the front hall and the shopkeeper and the guys, there are seven or eight people who take care of the house, and there are more people in the printing workshop, copyists, carvers, and printers...... It adds up to dozens of people.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed: "When our bookstore was prosperous, there were dozens of casual workers......

Later, the business was not good and I couldn't afford to support it, so I walked and scattered, and there were so many people left. These people are the foundation of a bookstore, even if they are idle and lose money and grit their teeth, they must be raised, otherwise the bookstore will not turn over at all.

Worried that Xin Yu didn't understand, he turned his head and quit everyone, and the shopkeeper Hu tactfully told her about this.

"Thanks for the reminder, I see." After understanding the general operation of the bookstore, Xin Yuxiang seemed to have no intention of chatting: "I have a cousin who loves to read books, and my favorite is the "Peony Story" printed by our Qingsong Bookstore. She also regretted that she couldn't buy it later, and she couldn't buy another copy to give to her friends. ”

"The Story of the Peony", this is the best-selling book in our bookstore......" When mentioning the scenery, the shopkeeper Hu talked a lot.

"If "The Peony" is so popular, why is it no longer sold?"

Xin Yu thought there was some special reason, but the reason given by the shopkeeper Hu was mediocre: "There are some stereotypes that have been eaten by insects." Because it's so popular, almost all the people in the capital who like to talk about it have bought it, and it's not cost-effective to re-stereotype, so it hasn't been reprinted. ”

"I see." Xin Yu thought about it for a while, and explained to the shopkeeper Hu, "Then let the craftsman remake the broken version, and then print 100 copies of "The Story of Peony" and sell it in the bookstore." ”

The shopkeeper Hu looked embarrassed: "The owner, it's not that the villain doesn't listen to your orders, it's just that the re-stereotype is printed, even if a hundred copies of "The Peony Story" are sold, it will be a loss." ”

"The shopkeeper's arrangement will continue. I'm completely unfamiliar with running a bookstore, and if I lose money, I'll be a practitioner. Besides, there are no excellent book writers now, and those craftsmen are idle, so it is better to have something to do. ”

When the shopkeeper Hu heard this, he was heartbroken.

Mr. Ping An was robbed of a lot of money by the opposite bookstore, which does not mean that there are no other book writers. But a book from the selection to the printing, a one-time investment is not small, once the sale is not good, the engraving can only be burned as firewood, so the choice of books is particularly cautious.

In addition to Mr. Ping'an, several well-known bookwriters were firmly controlled by several other bookstores, and the words handed by some bookwriters received by Qingsong Bookstore were really lackluster.

A story that is destined to lose money, it is better not to engrave.

Listening to the shopkeeper Hu talk about the plight of Qingsong Bookstore, Xin Yu said: "Then post a notice outside the bookstore, if there is a good story, we are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it." Then pick a few people from the bookstore who can speak well to spread the word about it. ”

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head slightly: "I've done this before, but it's useless." ”

There are a lot of people who come to the big money, but some of the stories are simply bullshit, and it hurts people's eyes to watch.

"It didn't work before, but maybe it works now. It's better than doing nothing, doesn't the shopkeeper say? ”

The stories that her mother told her can finally be told to more people.

Shopkeeper Hu is not good at sweeping the face of the new owner, so he nodded in response.

Everything that should be understood was understood, Xin Yu took Xiaolian and prepared to go back to Shaoqing's mansion, but saw Duan Yunlang running over in a hurry.

At my age, there are too many things in life, and my body can't be compared with when I was young. Thank you for your tips and votes, and those who have the spare power to reward are kindly asked to stay until the 3rd, and there is a reward unsealing event on the 3rd.
