Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 95 The eldest nephew, the thirteenth uncle is really out of money

Three days later, Zhu Yunxi's Sanwei Bookstore officially opened.

Stimulated by the strong banknote capacity, the Banking Bureau also gave full play to its subjective initiative, and printed the first batch of [-] volumes of books at the fastest speed.

As for the remaining [-] volumes, it is also expected to be completed within ten days.

In order not to make the bookstore look too spacious, Zhu Yunxi also purchased a batch of Four Books and Five Classics to decorate the facade.

While Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gui were dreaming of getting rich, the reality gave him a blow.

The performance was zero on the first day, and two sets of Four Books and Five Classics were sold on the second day, and the cash was 20 taels, and the net profit was still zero.

Because what he focuses on is not textbooks, but novels.Therefore, in terms of the pricing of the Four Books and Five Classics, it is basically sold at the original price.

On the third day, three copies were finally sold, but two copies were returned before closing in the afternoon.

Although there is still one book that has not been returned, the buyer has already come to say hello, saying that he forgot where he put it, and he will come back and return the book when he finds it!
Such dismal performance not only made Zhu Yunxi doubt himself, but even Zhu Gui also questioned his eldest nephew.

"Nephew, didn't you tell me that you were guaranteed to make a lot of money? How come three days have passed, and you haven't made a penny, but you've spent a lot of tea money instead?"

"Uncle Thirteen, don't worry, the theme of this story book is too novel, you need to give the market some time to adapt..."

"is it?"

Zhu Gui was skeptical, but after another three days passed, and still didn't sell a single book, this guy became completely angry.

"Nephew, what the hell are you writing about? No one buys it at all!"

"You pay me back, I won't play with you anymore!"

Zhu Yunxie immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this. The reason why he found Zhu Gui as a partner was to share the risk.

Now at the beginning, this guy wants to refund the money, but there is no door!

"Uncle Thirteen, you are wrong, you have to have confidence in our business!"

"Furthermore, the subject matter of fantasy is like this. If the number of words is small, there will be no effect at all."

"How about this, let's print another batch, and the story will definitely sell well after the story is coherent!"

Zhu Gui was numb when he heard this.

"Reprint?"

Zhu Yunxi spread his hands helplessly.

"Anyway, I don't have any money now. If you shrink back now, all the money you invested before will be in vain."

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Zhu Gui gritted his teeth and said.

"it is good!"

"I believe you again..."

Another three days passed, and two volumes of Doupa Huahua were printed in a row, but none of them were sold.

After Zhu Gui learned of this achievement, he went straight to Zhu Yunxie's small courtyard in the Prince's Mansion.

"Nephew, come out, I promise I won't beat you to death!"

Zhu Yunxi was absolutely ashamed of this thirteenth uncle. He pretended to be sick for two days and didn't go to class, but he still found him at home.

"Uncle Thirteen, I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and I think there's something wrong with our business model!"

Zhu Gui raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a displeased face.

"What's the problem?"

"I think there is something wrong with your brain. What kind of stuff did you write? Even dogs don't want to read it!"

As soon as Zhu Gui finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi suddenly came out of the room.

"Uncle Thirteen, I'd like to watch it, I really like it!"

"Hedong for 30 years, Hexi for 30 years, don't bully the young and poor!"

"Third brother, hurry up and write the next one, I still want to see Yao Lao!"

Zhu Yunxi patted Zhu Yunxi's head dotingly, and looked at Zhu Gui proudly.

"Uncle Thirteen, if you read my book, there are still people who like to read it!"

Zhu Gui became even more angry when he heard this, and stomped his feet on the ground angrily.

"How dare you say it!"

"Of all the princes and grandchildren in our hall, only a few children under the age of ten like it!"

"Who are you going to sell this kind of broken book to!"

Seeing that Zhu Gui was so angry, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly dragged him into the house to drink tea, and then continued to fool around.

"Uncle Thirteen, I think of a new model!"

"A new theme like ours should not be sold for money in the early stage, it should be given away for free!"

"First whet the reader's appetite, and then make money from the follow-up stories!"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Zhu Gui's face when he heard this, and Zhu Yunxi immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Uncle Thirteen, to be fair, how is my writing?"

Zhu Gui pouted and said.

"It's not good, there's no passionate scenes at all, and it's all vernacular..."

Zhu Yunxi is not willing to listen to these words. The first element of a novel is to be easy to understand. What's the use of so many literary nouns?

"Uncle Thirteen, my book is easy to understand, suitable for all ages, this is a huge advantage!"

"There are also my book's ups and downs, and the high expectation of a three-year agreement. Don't you want to see the scene where the protagonist kills?"

Zhu Gui was already a little moved when he heard this.

He has read the follow-up draft, and if the shortcomings of not having a passionate scene are excluded, the overall story is really good and very attractive.

"Uncle Thirteen, listen to my advice, let's print another set, add the previous two sets to make a series, and give it to the students of the Imperial College for free..."

"Then I will trust you again?"

Another period of time has passed, and Sanwei Bookstore is still losing money, and the loss is very stable.

Zhu Gui has also seen it now, and he shouldn't believe in that kid's evil, and go to partner with him to open some kind of Laoshizi Bookstore to make money.

Not to mention the fact that he didn't make any money now, he lost all the carriages he used to get in and out of the palace, and he was forced to walk on two legs.

Zhu Yunxi also felt very guilty, and always wanted to make up for his poor thirteenth uncle, but he was really poor.

"Uncle Thirteen!"

"Who are you? I don't know you. Get out of here!"

Zhu Gui ignored Zhu Yunxi's enthusiasm and walked out of the palace with a full food box.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi blamed himself even more.

Although Zhu Gui used to go to school, he carried food boxes in and out every day.But now the function of this food box has long since changed. It used to contain the food from the restaurant, and it went out empty.It has evolved into the current embarrassment of coming in empty and leaving with the big pot of rice in the palace.

Before I knew it, my thirteenth uncle had been cheated by me so much that I couldn't afford to go to a restaurant...

Just when Zhu Yunxi was secretly blaming himself, Zheng Yuanchang, the ambassador of the Banking Bureau, suddenly joined him.

"His Highness the Third Emperor, when will you pay the printing money you owed last time..."

"Also, is the fifth volume still in print?"

After Zhu Gui withdrew his shares, Zhu Yunxi put all his family's money into it and printed a book.

Now being blocked by Zheng Yuanchang to ask for debts, Zhu Yunxie's self-esteem was deeply stimulated.

"print!"

"If ten volumes are printed, I don't believe it won't be popular!"

"The money?"

"If you send someone to pick it up at noon tomorrow, there must be a lot of money for you!"

"Okay, I'm relieved to have His Highness's words."

Zhu Yunxi sent Zheng Yuanchang away, and immediately caught up with Zhu Gui who was about to leave the palace.

"Uncle Thirteen, wait for me!"

Zhu Gui suddenly heard his eldest nephew calling him, and he ran away in fright, and ran away without a trace.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi stopped with a face full of annoyance, thinking bitterly in his heart.Today's you love me and ignore me, tomorrow's me will make you unattainable!

However, just as he was thinking this way, Zhu Gui walked back again.

Seeing Zhu Gui again, Zhu Yunxi immediately showed a happy expression on his face, but before he could speak, Zhu Gui spoke first.

"Nephew, Thirteenth Uncle really has no money. You paid for my carriage. If you pay any more, you will have to sell the palace!"

"Uncle Thirteen, I didn't come to ask you for money, I just wanted you to do me a favor by selling or pawning some jade articles for me."

When Zhu Gui heard that he didn't ask for money, he was relieved.

"It's easy to talk about selling things, but Uncle Thirteen has to persuade you that your book is destined to lose money, so you should hurry up and sell it!"

"In addition, just now your second uncle's family will come to pass the word that the second uncle has a banquet tonight, please let us go to the banquet."

"Specially named you and Zhu Yunqi, saying that you two must be present!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard that it was the invitation from his second uncle King Qin, his heart was more or less moved.

He has long heard that the Prince Qin's Mansion is known as a small palace, and it is extremely luxuriously built.

It can be seen from this that my second uncle is definitely not short of money. Can you get some pig hair from him to support me in my career of writing books?
"Uncle Thirteen, you said that if I ask Uncle Second to sponsor me, can he give me face?"
