Genesis Supreme

Shopkeeper Zhao was flattered to hear that Er Shao Hong saw him in the study.How could Hong Yu's identity and background be comparable to that of his previous employer?

He also knows that wealthy families in the honorable district of Wudu see you in the study room, which means that they regard you as "one of their own" and don't see outsiders.Shopkeeper Zhao was very excited to be valued so much by Hong Yu.

"Zhao Shanke has seen the owner!" Shopkeeper Zhao knelt down, and Hong Yu waved his hand: "Old Zhao, you are welcome, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Master."

"Huaxia Bookstore has been running for so many years, why did it suddenly stop?"

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled wryly and said, "If the owner doesn't ask about this matter, I will say it. In fact, this is a crisis for the entire industry. Our regular big bookstore must keep its golden signboard, whether it is engraving, paper quality, or binding. To reach a certain level, those small bookstores don't care about these at all, there are many typos, the paper is thin, and the ink is not clear, but they are cheap!

Also, when we publish a book, we need to polish the author's pen.But those small bookstores bought our books, engraved them as they were, and bought them secretly without giving money to the author, so the price was naturally lower. In recent years, the situation has intensified, and we have been losing money. "

Hong Yu was surprised: so there are pirated versions in this world?The situation of Huaxia Bookstore, to put it bluntly, is a process in which bad horses weed out good ones.

He nodded slightly: "Are the old workers in the bookstore still there?"

"It's all there. The bookstore can operate normally now, but the owner, with all due respect, will still lose money if it continues like this."

Hong Yu nodded: "I don't expect Huaxia Bookstore to make money."

Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Boss, this..."

"I have a few things for you to do, start with the first one, and we'll talk about the others later."

Shopkeeper Zhao knew in his heart that this was a test for the new owner.If the first thing can't be done well, Hong Yu will have to change people, so there's no need to talk to him about the latter things.So he suddenly became nervous and sat upright.

"I want you to publish a batch of basic martial arts classics, with the Hong family's logo on the cover, and I will ask Grandpa to write a preface for each martial arts classic. This batch of books will only be sold at [-]% of the cost. The more you sell, the better!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was dumbfounded: "Boss, how much do you have to pay for this..."

"You don't have to worry about this. You just tell me how much money you need."

Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his head and calculated in his mind: "Boss, the basic cost of a book is two renminbi, and you only sell it for 140% of the cost, which is sixty yuan a book, which is much cheaper than those small bookstores. A lot. If we sell one copy, it will be accompanied by 400 taels. If there are 4000 copies, it will be 2 taels. In the whole summer, I am afraid that there will be sales of [-] copies, which is [-] taels. This is only the cost of books. Including shipping costs, manpower, etc., I am afraid that a book will cost more than [-] taels!"

Hong Yu was very decisive: "Just do it like this!"

Shopkeeper Zhao still wanted to ask, but Hong Yu had already waved his hand: "You just go and do it, and you can ask Hong Xi for the money."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Zhao went out full of doubts.

Hong Yu called Hong Xi in, gave him a silver note of 10 taels, and said, "Young master must take care of the affairs of Huaxia Bookstore with all your heart, and the young master will be of great use! I will turn a blind eye to other things." Eyes, if something goes wrong with this matter, the young master and I have killed many servants before!"

Hong Xi trembled: "Don't worry, young master, I promise I won't let you down."

Hong Yu nodded and sent him out.

He thought for a while in the study, and then got up to find his grandfather.

Hong Shengri was still reading military books, and was a little surprised when he heard what Hong Yu said: "For a while, you have been tossing about Yun's craftsmanship and Huaxia Bookstore. I thought you were messing around again, but I didn't expect you to have some ideas. .”

Hong Yu was helpless: "Grandpa, am I that ineffective? Forget it, just pretend that I didn't ask."

Hong Shengri had no choice but to swallow his words against him: "Throughout Great Xia, there are many poor people who admire martial arts, but martial arts classics are more expensive than Confucian classics, and everyone keeps them privately and doesn't want to show them to others. , but give these people a hope."

Hong Yu nodded: "Even if it's just the basic classics for getting started, if one out of 1 people succeeds, it's considered a blessing."

Hong Shengri was very appreciative: "Tell me how you want me to write the preface."

Hong Yu said calmly: "Actually, grandpa is free to write how you want. But there are two points. First, we must emphasize our Hong family. Second, you need to give some pointers on the practice of these classics. In some key places, join us Some concepts in the Hong family's "Northern Wilderness Manual."

Hong Shengri frowned slightly, and agreed: "It's not a crime to spend so much money and earn some fame by the way. Whatever book you want to publish first, just send it to me when the time comes."

Hong Yu bowed: "Yes, the grandson has stepped back first."

Hong Shengri waved his hand and continued to read his military manual.

After Hong Yu went out, he let out a sigh of relief.

Hong Shengri was indeed very clever, but after all, he was confined to this world, so he couldn't see Hong Yu's real intentions.Publishing martial arts classics is only the first step, and Confucian classics will be published later, and they will be sold at extremely low prices, so that anyone who wants to read can afford it.

The big Hong family logo on each book will make all the poor children who are demanding books but can't afford them firmly remember the Hong family's favor.If things go on like this, public opinion will be greatly beneficial to the Hong family.

And Hong Yu specifically told his grandfather to add the concept of "Beihuang Zhenjing" in the preface. Those warriors who practiced these martial arts classics are actually the inheritance of the Hong family, and they have the potential to join the Hong family in the future.

This is actually a means of kidnapping public opinion, a talisman. If Emperor Wu Zong wants to touch the Hong family, he should think carefully about it!

This is not a permanent solution, but it is also a very effective countermeasure.

Hong Yu knew that the relationship between the Hong family and Emperor Wu Zong was in an endless situation, and Huaxia Bookstore was just his first move.Publishing classics is the first step in the first step.His ultimate goal is undoubtedly newspapers and magazines.Given the communication and transportation capabilities of the world, magazines seemed more feasible.

Hong Yu, a dude, likes to swear, and what could be more refreshing than swearing at his opponents in a magazine with a circulation of hundreds of thousands?Let the whole world hear my scolding, and my opponent has no way to fight back.

Thinking about it, Hong Yu felt happy.
