Chapter 66 Gongsun Di picks peaches

"To have this bookstore is also a blessing for the country."

Gongsun Di nodded slightly, recently, Ying Wuji has made a lot of noise on Li Guo's side, and the bookstore's business has already reached Ying Yue's ears, but he has not commented on this matter.

Ying Wujian naturally did not take the initiative to mention this matter, but only contacted Gongsun Di privately and asked him to recommend himself as the envoy of the Qianguo to attend the Hundred Schools of Thought, and it was already a tacit matter to take over the commercial seal of the embassy.

After all, the business of the bookstore will not be small in the future, and it is really a waste to put it in the hands of Ying Wuji, a proton with a slim future.

In addition, Qianguo now has two sons, although Ying Wujian has shown a crushing posture, there is still some controversy in the court.

These controversies are not conducive to the development of the country and should be suppressed as soon as possible. Moreover, the Qianguo's strategy of agricultural warfare has been proved to be correct, and the efforts of just a few generations have made this once barbaric country see the hope of going eastward, as long as it continues to go firmly, the Qianguo will definitely become the strongest vassal state, and even replace Zhou Tianzi.

The bookstore has done a good job, but in the face of the national policy of the Qianguo Dynasty, it is not worth mentioning at all.

So there is absolutely no reason to leave the bookstore in the hands of Ying Wuji.

Gongsun Di looked at Xun Zhiyin: "What is the situation of the bookstore now, and how much income is expected to be made in a year?" ”

Xun Zhiyin hurriedly took out an account book from his arms: "Envoy! The average price of the books in the bookstore is 300 wen, and after deducting the cost and the taxes paid to the Li State, I should be able to earn 150 wen, half of which should be kept by the shopkeeper and the other half should be handed over to the embassy. It's not just the end of the month, I calculated that tomorrow the bookstore will have to hand in at least 3,000 taels. ”

"So much!"

Gongsun Di was a little surprised, he knew that the bookstore had a good business, but he didn't expect to be able to hand over so much money.

How can a book with 300 texts and one volume have such a large profit margin?

However, he still frowned slightly: "Why is this ledger a transcript?" Could it be that the bookstore is not under your control? ”

Xun Zhiyin hurriedly said: "Gongzi Wuji is too stubborn and unwilling to be controlled by the lower officials, so he is very reluctant to be intervened by the lower officials. But don't worry, the envoy doesn't have to worry, when I go to the government office tomorrow to complete the handover, and then go to the bookstore with the commercial seal in hand, presumably Gongzi Wuji can't say anything. ”

Gongsun Di frowned slightly: "Are you sure that the bookstore is in the hands of Ying Wuji?" ”

Xun Zhiyin smiled: "Otherwise? How can Gongzi Wuji have a reason to give his life to others. ”

"That's right!"

Gongsun Di nodded, feeling that his idea was indeed a bit bizarre, Ying Wuji even guarded the embassy, how could he not guard against Hua Chao?

He couldn't help but smile: "It's not easy for a mere bookstore to bring 40,000 taels of profit to Qianguo in a year!" ”

"More than that!"

Gongsun Di raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

Xun Zhiyin's face was full of red light, and added: "Xia Guan knows the bookstore very well, and it is true that he only made a profit of six thousand taels this month, but in fact, the channel has not been opened. The envoy should have also seen that in recent days, countless people have rushed to the 100 grand events, including many booksellers, looking at today's situation, we should be able to sign a lot of orders. When the printing scale is rolled out, our revenue will be increased by at least five times. ”

"Five!"

Gongsun Di's eyes lit up, five times! The income brought to Qianguo is 200,000 taels.

200,000 taels is not a dispensable amount even for a country.

Xun Zhiyin lowered his voice and said: "And this is still taken by the state, Gongzi Wuji, as the boss, can also take a considerable amount of money, will the envoy feel a little too much......

Gongsun Di listened to his slightly demagogic tone, and immediately understood his thoughts.

200,000 taels is indeed a lot for one person.

But......

He smiled and shook his head: "After all, this bookstore is the brainchild of Gongzi Wuji, and no matter how much he takes, he deserves it!" Childe Wuji sent me here, but it was just to take over the business seal, but there was no need to dig the back road of Childe Wuji.

Although the two sons have never met, they are also half-brothers. What's more, Gongzi Wuji himself has a talent for business, and he is flawless to assist Gongzi outside, and the brothers work together for the country, which is not a bad story.

Master Xun is sincere, and I will let Gongzi know when I go back. However, although Lord Xun's actions have good intentions, they hurt the feelings of the brothers after all, so it is better to think more about them in advance before doing things in the future! ”

"The envoy has taught you a lesson!"

Xun Zhiyin was a little disappointed, but he still said with a smile: "Childe is indestructible and benevolent, Childe Wuji will be moved when he knows!" ”

Gongsun Di glanced at the food on the table, and said with a slight smile: "Since Gongzi Wuji will not come back, then let's eat!" ”

"Good!"

Xun Zhiyin said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will hand over the seal with the envoy and take over the bookstore!" ”

Gongsun Di nodded slightly: "Okay!" ”

For a while, there was a smile in the embassy.

……

Following.

Zhen Lan Lingsheng's "True Mountains and Seas Strange Tales" came out, and the eight major bookstores spared no effort to publicize it everywhere, although it was far from the well-known level of Jiangcheng, but the area where the rich and noble families lived had been bombed several rounds in turn.

Booksellers, in particular, who came from other places, received this news.

Moreover, the bookstore has also contacted them privately, saying that each book only sells 250 yuan, and all kinds of statements about the pros and cons, saying that the cultural desert of Qianguo is useless except for plagiarism, and even if it is plagiarized, it will only be short-lived.

In the long run, it will definitely be more durable.

It was called a sentimental one, and they almost believed it.

But unfortunately, they are booksellers after all, and the basic market situation must still be understood, and everyone has a copy of Shangmo Books' "Tales of the Mountains" in their hands.

In terms of quality, to put it bluntly, it is a lot higher than the original "Tales of Mountains and Seas"!

And it's a flash in the pan...... If Shangmo Books only has one volume of "The Tales of the Mountains", it can barely be accepted, but they still have "The Case of Quanmei", this statement is not so convincing, after all, it has only been sealed, and it is not that it has never existed.

Therefore, the booksellers decided to wait and see first, and one by one they went to the major bookstores and bought a copy of "True Mountains and Seas".

A quarter of an hour later, he dropped the book on the ground and spat a mouthful of phlegm by the way.

"What the hell are you doing!"

It's just shoddy and rushed, and it's not a grade at all compared to the first two volumes.

Do you also say that Shangmo Bookstore is shoddy?

Are you worthy?

As a result, a large number of booksellers poured into the backyard of Shangmo Bookstore, and unless they couldn't get a satisfactory order here, they would definitely not consider the eight major bookstores.

Ying Wuji saw so many people rushing over, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack with a smile, after working hard for so long, it was finally time to harvest.

In the blink of an eye, the backyard was full of booksellers from out of town.

I was about to have a meeting when I heard a rather high-pitched voice from the storefront.

"Envoy, this is our bookstore!"

"Look at this business, how good ......"

"Childe Wuji should be discussing in the backyard, I'll take you to meet him!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xun Zhiyin rushing over with Gongsun Di.

Xun Zhiyin saluted respectfully: "Childe! ”

Gongsun Di also smiled lightly and arched his hand: "Gongsun Di has seen Gongzi." ”

Ying Wuji glanced at them up and down, and couldn't help but show a strange smile: "Welcome two to be guests, but I have something serious to talk about, you might as well wait for a while!" ”

Gongsun Di smiled and waved his hand: "Childe's 'guest' is laughing!" Since we want to talk about business, let's talk about it together, after all, it is a major matter for us to run the country, and we can't let Gongzi bear it alone. ”

After that, he sat down generously next to Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji: "......"

This little brother really doesn't think of himself as an outsider.
