Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 658 Is this just a free gift?

Nanling heard Liu Ya ask if he would still pick up other people's goods, so he asked: "Boss, are you afraid that I will work for other people's houses and delay printing books for you? Don't worry, I must be wholehearted Please print the books you want first, and then pick up other goods. Besides, if you have to print [-] books a month, my boss, it’s really too much for a small workshop like me. You printed this time The thousand volumes of the book were carved out by me and my little apprentice overnight, and we must not be able to keep spinning for a month without stopping."

Liu Ya nodded and said: "I just want to say that there will only be more books to be printed in the future, and there should be no reduction. If I can also guarantee the number of books printed, can you only accept me? Business."

Nanling thought for a while, understood Liu Ya's meaning, and asked, "Boss, do you want me to print the book for you alone?"

"That's right. My book only comes out of your workshop. The template is carved by you and your apprentices. You can definitely recognize it at a glance. If others want to copy it, they can't copy it. In this way It is guaranteed that only my family can sell my book, and if others want to print it as it is, I will ask him to settle the score."

Liu Ya's intention is nothing more than to combat piracy.Nanling didn't know what piracy was, but he understood that Liu Ya planned to give him only this big business, so he said happily: "OK, sir, if you can guarantee to print [-] copies per month, I will I will only take your own business. If there are more, I will hire a trustworthy guy, or teach another apprentice to help me do the work."

Liu Ya said: "Okay, then it's a deal. It's still the same sentence, only I can read the book I want, you can only print it for me, and you must not show it to anyone else."

"Understood." Nanling nodded vigorously, and said again: "The book last time has been made into a book. I started binding last night, and now there are nearly [-] volumes, and the rest are still being printed. Master, do you want to take a look first?"

Liu Ya nodded.Nanling brought her a few bound books from it. The books were new, with a faint scent of ink. When she opened a page, the paper was very clean, the yellow and mellow color unique to ancient straw pulp paper. It feels soft and comfortable to the touch.The handwriting is also very clean, each stroke is clear, and the characters are not large and well-proportioned, which greatly saves paper, and it is also neat and beautiful.

Just looking at the book printed by this template, I really can't imagine that Nanling and his little apprentice are illiterate.The templates they carved were all "drawn" by taking pictures.

Liu Ya was very satisfied, and said: "If they are all of this quality, then there is really nothing to choose. You can count them now, and I will take them with you if you are sure. The sale will begin today."

Nanling agreed, and went back to get the book.Zhu Nanshan heard Liu Ya said that it will be released today, so he asked Liu Ya: "Miss Liu is going to sell books today? Then I wonder if there is any share in my small shop for the first batch of books?"

"Shopkeeper Zhu wants to help me sell books? Then I don't know if you buy the goods directly with cash, or do you want to sell them?" Liu Ya smiled, and said again: "It's business talking about business. Do not mind."

Zhu Nanshan immediately said: "Why do you mind? In business, business is a good saying. Don't brothers still have to settle accounts clearly? Miss Liu is a straightforward person, good at doing business, and a woman who doesn't give way to her eyebrows, but I It's just a small business. If I'm allowed to purchase the goods, I'm afraid I don't have that much capital. But I'm afraid that the shop is small and there are few customers, which will delay your big business, Ms. Liu. How about this? , I will buy ten copies first, and help Miss Liu to sell it?"

In fact, Zhu Nanshan's original intention must be to sell it on behalf of others.In this way, he doesn't need to spend any capital, as long as he puts Liu Ya's books in the store, he will sell them if someone wants to buy them, and he can make money without any effort.It's just that Liu Ya asked bluntly, and he was embarrassed to say so, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sell if he bought too many copies, so he had to say that he bought ten copies first.

Liu Ya laughed after hearing this, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhu is indeed a businessman, but he is too cautious. Since you are so careful, shopkeeper, I won't make things difficult for you. I have arrangements for this book , Shopkeeper Zhu, just tell me how many regular customers in your store usually buy these short stories, and I will give each of them a copy."

"What? Did I hear you right?" Zhu Nanshan was stunned for a moment, and asked Liu Ya again, "Miss Liu, you mean that you gave the book directly to the book sellers?"

Liu Ya said: "Yes, you heard it right. No money, it's free. But it's not free, you don't want to sell it for money. It is free, but it must be given to those who have been Customers who buy such books in your store."

This time, Zhu Nanshan understood it completely.Dare to say, is Liu Ya helping him win over guests?She spent real money to print this book, and asked Jiang Zitao to write it for her.All of them cost money, but she just gave it away for nothing?

Seeing that Zhu Nanshan was still hesitating, Liu Ya said: "To tell you the truth, Master Zhu, this book is given away for free, but only the first volume is given away for free, and when it comes out later, they will have to buy it. You When I sent it to them, I said it was a free trial. If you think it is not good, you can send it back to you. If you think it is good, you can come to your store to buy another copy, or lend it to others. "

"That's good, that's good. There are more than forty people who often come to buy books in my store, but a few of them are scholars who only concentrate on taking exams and don't read such miscellaneous books. Those who come here several times a month to see if there are any. There are about 20 new books on the market. Ms. Liu, do you want to give them all, or just give these [-] people?"

"Give them all away. Maybe other people want to buy them after reading it." After Liu Ya finished speaking, it happened that Nanling came over with four bundles of books.

Nanling said to Liu Ya: "Boss, each bundle is fifty volumes, and there are two hundred volumes in total. There are still some that are being printed. I don't think it's not easy to calculate the whole number, so I didn't take it. Next time you come again, it should be all It's printed."

Liu Ya didn't take it, and pointed to one of the bundles and said, "These fifty books are for you, shopkeeper Zhu. Remember, it's free, no money. As long as someone comes to choose this kind of books , you can give him a trial reading." Then he said to Nanling: "The rest, please send it to Hongxiufang for me, I have other things, it is really inconvenient to carry so many books .”

In fact, Liu Ya didn't say anything, and Nanling didn't intend to let Liu Ya carry it by herself. 150 books are also quite heavy. He couldn't handle Liu Ya as a little girl.
