The fate of writers

Chapter 75
Fang Youning was very happy to see Yang Bin, an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and warmly invited Yang Bin to his house for a reunion.It can be seen that the two have a good personal relationship.

Public is public, private is private. When it comes to business transactions, Fang Youning's businessman's nerves start to stir. Publishing Qingyun Road is a good and profitable business.

"The book ban makes life difficult for everyone." Fang Youning began to be miserable at first.

"No matter how hard it is, how can it be difficult for our newspaper? Five newspapers in Kyoto are gone." Yang Bin is not bad either. Who wouldn't suffer misfortune?

"This statement is wrong. It should be said that there are only five houses in the capital. The most solemn place under the emperor's feet will not be affected if it is hundreds of thousands of miles away." Fang Youning retorted.

"According to your auspicious words, it would be great if the newspaper office can survive this round of storms. You and I are like fish and water, complementing each other." Yang Bin's implication is that the newspaper office is fine, and you, a paper maker, have some difficulties.

"There are still a few people who have far-sightedness. There are probably many people who are worried about the situation, and finally can't bear to close their doors. This is a great benefit for you to run a newspaper." It is not good for them to make paper and print.Fang Youning's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and his serious appearance could scare anyone who didn't understand.When Yang Bin said this to Yang Bin, I can only describe it in one sentence. He is truly worthy of being able to carry forward the papermaking and printing shop.

"Brother Fang, there is no need to be so round about the relationship between you and me." Yang Bin had no choice but to speak first. Fang Youning could talk for three days and three nights if he went around like this, but Yin County was pressed for time and could not wait.All I can say is that those who are anxious will suffer.

"Brother Yang, it is because you and I are brothers that we have to settle accounts. I am also because of the eternal friendship between you and me. The first brother Yang came to me is to trust me. Don't worry, brother, I will never let you go too far." Suffering." Fang Youning can speak, he knew that this meant that Yang Bin was willing to give in, and did not press every step of the way.

Although there were disputes during the period, Fang Youning and Yang Bin finally reached a simple agreement.

Yang Bin left Fang's house and then went to visit another paper printing workshop.

Unlike Yin County, where papermaking and printing are separated, in Pingbo Prefecture, papermaking and printing are combined into one.This is a strange scene formed due to special background reasons and historical lessons.

Yang Bin also gradually discovered the beauty of it. He secretly made up his mind to build a three-in-one system when he returned.It’s not that it’s big, it’s that it has all the internal organs, and it’s not controlled by others at critical moments.

Yang Bin's negotiation path was full of twists and turns.After several rounds of negotiations, Fang Youning actually gave him some kindness, at least Fang Youning saw that he was in a hurry and didn't try to lower the price.

Both sides refused to give in, and the ensuing negotiations were not smooth, but fortunately, there was no way out, and there was a bright future after another.Pingbo Mansion is big enough to accommodate several paper-making and printing shops. This one is harsh, so just replace it with the next one.

Yang Bin tried his best to negotiate with a second company while sticking to the bottom line.

The cost of Guanhaishe has increased greatly. There are two ways to make money. One is to increase the selling price of a single copy of Qingyun Road and share the cost evenly with readers. The other is to expand the stall and sell more copies, and follow the path of small profits but quick turnover. .

It is really tempting to increase the price of a single book, and fans will pay for it.Fortunately, Yang Bin restrained his desire.Can't consume You Lin's reputation, You Lin is not a one-time consumable, only by restraining can he become bigger and stronger, and create another glories.

Yang Bin finally chose to talk about a few more bookstores.The papermaking and printing shop we negotiated has a bookstore that we cooperate with all year round, but it is not enough.

In addition to the quality of the work itself and the author's reputation, the sales channel of a book is also an important factor.What's more, Jiang Ling's own reputation has not yet reached the level where external factors can be almost ignored.

Yang Bin took Jiang Ling's manuscripts and began to visit one after another. The layout of the Pingbo Mansion Bookstore can be said to be a king does not see a king. There is usually only one bookstore in an area, which can be said to have exhausted Yang Bin.

Yang Bin walked out of a bookstore, straightened his back, and said as he walked: "Jiang Qianli, I really owe you. If you dare to write a completely different book for me next time, I will definitely come to your door and have a hard time with your father." Said."

Yang Bin walked and came to Haitang Bookstore, which is the seventh one.The next step is to meet with the shopkeeper and discuss cooperation.

After saying the same thing seven times, Yang Bin felt a little sick to his stomach.

The shopkeeper of Haitang Bookstore has gray temples, but he is very energetic, and he is a capable person in his forties.

"I have also read Ms. Youlin's book. It is indeed unique and fascinating. After publication, I believe it will be a popular book, but..."

Yang Bin exaggerated when he heard the shopkeeper of Haitang Bookstore speak.After going through so many houses, Yang Bin has also gained experience. Most of the people who boast about everything will not succeed in the end. Let's talk about the shortcomings first and belittle them, and most of them will succeed.Sure enough, the shopkeeper of Haitang Bookstore received another but, but Yang Bin could even guess the content behind it.

"Uncle Zhang, have you read the book "The Farmer's Son Qingyun Road" that I told you about? I think it is a very promising novel and we should seize the opportunity." Zheng Zhuyi said before he came. Arriving first, I opened the door and found someone who was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily and apologized, "It turns out that Uncle Zhang is waiting for guests. I was reckless. Please forgive me. I am the future owner of Haitang Bookstore, and Haitang Bookstore is my mother." I’m giving you my dowry, but what’s the guest’s important business?”

Shopkeeper Zhang knew it was going to be bad as soon as he heard Zheng Zhuyi's voice. This little ancestor has tortured him these days in order to publish the book "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road".He repeatedly evaded, if Zheng Zhuyi knew that the person in front of him was here to discuss cooperation in the publication of "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road", he would definitely agree to it directly.He is just a shopkeeper, and Zheng Zhuyi still owns the bookstore after all.

But shopkeeper Zhang repeatedly evaded because he didn't like Qingyun Road, and all he saw were Qingyun Road's shortcomings.

Shopkeeper Zhang was originally offered by his family to study. He also tried and failed repeatedly, and he was a green leaf for others. supply, and entrusted favors to give him as an apprentice, and finally there is today's shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang is not grateful to his father, he always feels that his Qingyun road was cut off by his father.

Qingyun Road was too real, so real that it made him depressed, he felt that Qingyun Road was just mocking him.He was also jealous of Gu An in the story, because he met a Bai Xiucai.Later, it was revealed that You Lin who wrote about Qingyun Road was a lady, and Zhang's dislike reached the peak.

Contrary to shopkeeper Zhang, Yang Bin was happy and could talk.He introduced himself to Zheng Zhuyi with a smile on his face: "I am Yang Bin, editor-in-chief of Guanhai Society, and I am here to discuss the cooperation with your store in publishing "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road""
