Chen Wen was about to go into the kitchen to find a sink, and suddenly found Su Kangkang sitting on the sofa in the living room at the top of the stairs.

"Kangkang, get up, have you eaten?" Chen Wen greeted.

Getting closer, Chen Wen found that Su Kangkang was holding a stack of manuscript paper in his hand, which was the little imperial uncle that Chen Wen had written all night.

"Brother Wen, did you write this?" Su Kangkang raised his eyes to look at Chen Wen.

"yes. This thing is not suitable for small children. Chen Wen hurriedly said, if Su Qianqian knew that her younger brother looked at Uncle Xiaohuang, and it was written by Chen Wen, then it would be okay.

"Brother Wen, you're so good-looking, you're so powerful!" Su Kangkang looked adoring.

"Ahem, Kangkang, my brother wrote this book, not for you. Chen Wen said.

"Brother Wen, I think the book you wrote is better than those books on the stall. Su Kangkang said.

Yo, this kid is very knowledgeable, it seems that he usually reads those train literature.

Chen Wen said: "I plan to take these manuscripts and print them into a book and sell them at the night market. ”

"Brother Wen, I know where there is a place to print books!" Su Kangkang said.

"Where?" Chen Wen was surprised, this little fat man was just a junior high school student, how did he know where to print Uncle Xiaohuang.

"Minhang, I'll take you there!" Su Kangkang patted his chest.

"I haven't finished writing it yet!" Although Chen Wen also wanted to print the book immediately, he had only completed half of the first volume he had planned.

Looking at the little fat man who was full of interest, Chen Wen explained his plan, the whole book is 100,000 words, divided into two volumes.

I wrote more than 20,000 words all night last night, and I plan to write more than 20,000 words today, enough to make up 50,000 words to print a first volume, and if I can open up sales, I will write another 50,000 words and take the next volume to print.

Su Kangkang objected: "Brother Wen, I don't think there's any need to wait so long, you can have more than 20,000 words in one volume, divided into four volumes." Open the market, and then publish the second volume. If the sales are good, three or four more volumes will be published. ”

Chen Wen thought about it, and Su Kangkang was right.

So, the brothers went out.

---------------------------------

In the afternoon, Su Kangkang led the way, and the two took the bus, walked, transferred to the bus, and then walked again, and came to a somewhat desolate place.

On the way, Chen Wen asked, "How do you know where to print pirated books?"

Su Kangkang said: "The teaching aids that our school bought for us are all pirated, and we bought them from here. It was sold to us at the price of the genuine version, and it was black. We have classmates who live near here, who have seen their cars delivered back at school, and who know their cars. ”

A small road with separate dilapidated courtyards on both sides.

"Brother Wen, it's the courtyard in front. Su Kangkang identified.

Chen Wen suddenly thought of one thing, it is illegal to make and sell pirated books, although he is not pirated, but it belongs to copyrightless publishing, and it is a mild little emperor's uncle, which is also illegal, and this matter cannot be mixed in by Su Kangkang.

Chen Wen is thoughtful, once he is reported and the matter is reported, he can run back to Jiangxi Province, or even sell the subscription warrant in the future, and the world is free, but Su Kangkang's home is in Shanghai, and there are too many acquaintances, so it is easy to be exposed.

Chen Wen also has a thought, Su Kangkang's image is too outstanding, just like the Internet celebrity little fat brother in his previous life, this figure will not be forgotten by people who have seen it at a glance, and it is easy to be remembered by the people in the printing house.

Chen Wen's concern is very right, this kind of thing like Uncle Xiaohuang will be killed every once in a while, and there is a certain risk.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen said: "Kangkang, I'll go in by myself, you go to the bus stop opposite the bus stop where we got off just now and wait for me." ”

"Brother Wen, there are many people and many guts, I am not afraid, I can accompany you. Su Kangkang didn't understand Chen Wen's kindness.

"Brother, I won't let you in, it's for your own good, if you believe me, listen to me. Chen Wen stretched out his hand to straighten Su Kangkang's collar and said, "Your image is too easy to be remembered, if these people who do piracy are arrested by the police, they will easily confess you, understand!"

"Oh, I know, thank you, Brother Wen, I'll wait for you at the opposite station just now!" Su Kangkang was not a fool, and he was very smart in many things, so he turned around and left.

---------------------------------

Seeing Su Kangkang disappear around the corner of the intersection, Chen Wen came to the iron gate and knocked a few times.

After a while, a man in his thirties opened the door: "Who are Nong looking for?"

Chen Wen said: "Introduced by a friend, I will print the book." ”

The man asked, "What's your friend's name?"

Chen Wen thought for a moment and replied, "The old man who rode a tricycle and sold books at the gate of the division didn't tell me his name. ”

Chen Wen's words are very tactful, through his observation at the gates of the Normal University and Jiaotong University, he has long judged that all the people who sell pirated books at the gate of the university are people who ride tricycles, and many of them are above middle age, and it is not against the peace to say that they are old men.

Sure enough, the man didn't suspect it, he glanced Chen Wen up and down a few times, and said, "How many of you are?"

Chen Wen said: "It's just me. ”

The man said, "Come in." ”

Chen Wen entered the door, and the man closed the door.

---------------------------------

After entering the door, Chen Wen heard the sound of clattering machines working from the house, and some tools and materials were placed in the yard.

The man took Chen Wen into a small room that looked like a simple office.

The man asked, "What book do you want to print?"

Chen Wen replied: "I wrote my own book. ”

The man asked, "Is there a book number?"

Chen Wen replied: "I don't have a book number, I wrote it myself." ”

The man said, "There is no book number, is there a sample?" ”

Chen Wen took out the 50-page manuscript from his arms and handed it to the man.

The man flipped through a few times and said, "You can't do this, we won't print it." ”

Chen Wen asked, "Why can't it be printed?"

The man smiled: "This is a manuscript of yours, you have to typeset and proofread, this is a lot of work, we don't have time to do it, and the cost is also very high." ”

Chen Wen asked rhetorically: "Do you print other books, and they all do typesetting and proofreading?"

The man shook his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, just take the sample and copy it." ”

Chen Wen suddenly realized that the original pirated books were all like this, taking the genuine books as samples, and the copied pages were directly bound and shipped out of the factory, these people are really good at playing!

Chen Wen said: "If I don't want to typeset and proofread and just copy the manuscript, is it okay?"

The man said, "That's definitely okay, you don't call it printing books, and their students print exam papers like this." ”

Chen Wen asked: "My book, do it according to what you say, what price?"

The man asked, "How many copies do you want to print?"

Chen Wen asked, "You can count it according to a hundred." ”

The man said, "I'll count you as 50 pages, 4 cents per page, and 2 yuan for a copy." ”

Chen Wen bargained: "It's too expensive, my friend told me about the market, one dollar." ”

The man said, "It's your first time here, and there's no way I'm going to give you the best price." This time, I'll count you as a piece of five-day copy, and you don't have to bargain. Next time you come back, if the quantity is larger, I'll give you a little more discount. Next time, if it's still a hundred, I'll give you a little discount. ”

Chen Wen nodded and approved the price.

Seeing that Chen Wen agreed, the man said again: "One piece of five five books, one hundred books and one hundred and fifty yuan, you pay a deposit, fifty yuan." ”

Chen Wen took out fifty yuan and handed it to the man.

The man wrote a receipt, except for the number "50", which is recognizable, the rest of the Chinese characters are dragon and phoenix dance.

Chen Wen asked, "When can I get the goods?" ”

The man replied: "The machines in the workshop are rushing a batch of goods, and we will not have time to make your book until later." It's 2 o'clock and you come over at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you can also wait in this room. ”

Chen Wen asked, "Can I wait in the workshop?"

The man said: "It's inconvenient, it's not from our factory, and they are not allowed to enter the workshop." ”

Chen Wen said: "Then I'll come over at 3 o'clock to get the goods." ”
