Ninghua study.

Liao Guxin put down the teacup in his hand and showed a subtle smile to the young man in front of him: "Master Si Zhao, I'm afraid this matter is going to blow your mind." ”

I saw that Si Zhao Gongzi, who was sitting opposite him, was only twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a face like a crown of jade, a dignified appearance, and a plain white Fujian embroidery, which showed that he was even more upright. When he heard Liao Gu's reply, he frowned, but his tone was still full of respect: "Why is Shopkeeper Liao so unkind, he just wants to buy the copyright of a few manuscripts, and the bid is not low......"

Liao Gu stroked his long beard under his chin, as the operator of Ninghua Study, he has taken over the shopkeeper for twenty-five years, and the reason why he has been able to make Ninghua Study the largest and most book-intensive bookstore in Xianyang City can also be said to have paid a lot of effort, and naturally summed up a lot of experience.

The first and most important point of these experiences is to hold the copyright of a good book in your own hands, and never give other bookstores the opportunity to publish it. If an author or book operator discovers that someone has printed or sold a book for which he has copyright without consent, he will report it to the government and be fined a fine if it is serious, such as pirating a book published by the Zijian of the country, then it is not a new thing.

And the young man named Si Zhao Nanming from other places in front of him actually dared to go directly to his Ninghua study to buy the copyright, although the few novels he wanted to buy the copyright were all very popular novels recently, but this person made a generous bid and bid more than three times the copyright he bought at the beginning.

To be honest, Liao Gu is really a little excited, after all, Zhai Guo has many writers, and he has four or five full-time literati in his bookstore, and these novels have been sold for some time, and the money that should be made has been enough, even if the copyright is sold at this time, it is not a big deal, and his Ninghua study is famous, even if he gives this kid a chance to toss, it will not pose much threat to himself.

However, in the book industry, Liao Gu is also an old man, and when he is middle-aged, he is even more stable, although the practice of eating copyright is somewhat rigid, but the effect is significant. There are three main sources of manuscripts in Zhai Guo's bookstore, one is to ask for manuscripts from famous writers, the second is to directly buy out the manuscripts of some second- and third-rate novels, and the third is to support specialized writers and be self-sufficient.

Although the scale of Xianyang City is not small, it is also one of the famous cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but it has never produced any famous artists, so even the largest study in Xianyang, the source of manuscripts in Ninghua Study is mainly the latter two methods.

Liao Gu not only raised a few writers, but even he himself was half an author, Liao Gu's family ran the study for generations, but when he was young, the family study was mediocre. The young Liao Gu naturally couldn't afford to buy other people's copyrights, so he found another way, adapted some historical classics slightly, and sold them as his own novels.

"It's not that Liao doesn't give Si Zhaogongzi face, it's just that if he eats this job, he has to keep this foundation, and I, a small business in Ninghua Study, just live on the copyright of books, and it's really not easy to sell. Liao Gu glanced at Si Zhao Nanming out of the corner of his eye, and smiled slightly: "Besides, Si Zhao Gongzi is a talent, and he can see that his family background is also solid, so why do you have to do this line of hard work?"

Si Zhao Nanming just wanted to speak, but he saw a servant walk in from outside the door, and said respectfully: "Master, someone is asking for a manuscript." ”

"Oh?" Liao Gu narrowed his eyes: "What about the manuscript?"

The servant bowed his head and said, "The man said that he must personally hand over the manuscript to the master." ”

Liao Gu snorted coldly and said lightly: "This person really doesn't understand the rules, could it be that one of the four famous masters visited in person?"

The servant continued: "Not a famous man, but that man said that he is the head of the Dongman Sect......

"Dong Man Sect?" Liao Gu pondered for a moment, but he smiled in a low voice and waved his hand: "That's it, just bring him in." ”

"Yes. ”

The servant was commanded to withdraw.

Liao Gu said to himself, "This is interesting...... It's actually a person from the Dongman Sect, interesting, interesting. ”

"Shopkeeper Liao......" Si Zhao Nanming said suspiciously: "I don't know what sect this Dongman Sect is, and I know that there are not many sects in the world, but I have never heard of any Dongman Sect." ”

Liao Gu shook his head and said, "It's not strange that Prince Si Zhao doesn't know about the Dongman Sect, that Dongman Sect is just a small sect on the Dongman Mountain twenty miles east of Xianyang City...... But Blood Flower Building, Si Zhao Gongzi should probably have heard of it. ”

"Blood Flower Building!" The surprise on Si Zhao Nanming's face flashed: "This, I naturally know it." ”

"The previous head of the Dong Manzong offended the owner of the Blood Flower Mansion, and he died a few months ago, but I don't know who the current head is?" Liao Gu's eyes were full of disdain: "But it seems that the current head of the sect is also not good, and he is actually down to the point of selling literature for a living...... Liao has lived for forty-seven years, and he has never seen a cultivator write a book, and today is just the right time to open his eyes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man walk in through the door, wearing a cyan cultivation robe, carrying a long sword at his waist, and holding a scroll of manuscripts in his hand. This person is not handsome, and he is much inferior to Si Zhao Nanming, but his two eyes are very bright, which is hard to forget at first sight.

"Shopkeeper Liao, bothering and disturbing, in the twilight rain and cold of the head of the Manzong in Xiadong, he specially asked for a meeting. ”

"The head of the twilight rain is outside, Liao was fortunate to see Ling Zun's demeanor, but he was jealous of the talent, alas, ......" Liao Gu instantly changed his expression to grief.

Twilight Rain Shihan was secretly depressed in his heart, but fortunately, the cause of his cheap father's death was not made public.

"My father's business, thank you for your concern. Twilight Rain Shihan arched his hand and said: "However, the Si people have gone, and I know that your study is the largest study in Xianyang City, so I came with the manuscript to solve the current dilemma of this faction." ”

After that, Twilight Rain Shihan handed over the manuscript in his hand and said: "However, the manuscript in the next book is different from ordinary novels, if it can be published, it will definitely set off a trend, and then Liao Shopkeeper and Zai Xia can make a big profit, isn't it beautiful?"

"Is that really the case?" Liao Gu listened, and naturally became interested in his heart, after all, he made a career out of it, the novel industry has always been about innovation, sometimes the appearance of a novel, it really has the power to set off a thousand sails, and the person in front of him is also a cultivator, if he uses this as a gimmick, it will also be a big help for book sales.
