Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 697 This is the typical thought of a profiteer
Looking at Liu Ya's frowning expression, Zhu Nanshan knew that this number did not satisfy Liu Ya.Then he told the truth: "The last book was also sent out yesterday afternoon. There are a total of fifty books, all of which were sent out."

Out of fifty books, only ten people came back to buy them, this number did not satisfy Liu Ya.She originally estimated that even if more than half of the people did not come back to look for it, there should be at least 20 people chasing after him.

Liu Ya thought for a while, and then asked: "Then you are not the right person to send it to? Didn't I say that you can only send it to people who come to buy miscellaneous books? If you send it to anyone, it must be a waste of money. gone."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, Zhu Nanshan's complexion changed, and he explained with some embarrassment: "Miss Liu, look at the weather, how can anyone come to buy books. It started from the fifty books you gave me at the beginning. , there are only [-] or [-] people who come to buy books. My store is quite big, which is not bad. Some small stores are hardly open in this season."

"On rainy days, shouldn't everyone read books at home?" After Liu Ya said in doubt, she also understood the problem.

It is true that people read books at home on rainy days, but not many people come out to buy books.Moreover, the technology in ancient times was underdeveloped. If the pages of the book accidentally got wet, the entire page would be soaked in ink, and it would be impossible to read it after it dried.

What's more, in order to promote sales, Zhu Nanshan sent the wrong people to the wrong people. It seems that ten people came back to look for it, which is considered good.Because some scholars are so devoted to reading that they don't even read these miscellaneous books. Instead, they think that such books will cause trouble, so they may throw them away when they take them back.

It's just that it doesn't work like this.If the book is given away for nothing, even the cost will not be recovered.If this continues, subsequent sales will definitely be greatly affected.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya asked: "How many bookstores are there, and where is the school?"

Zhu Nanshan said: "Well, together with my family, there are four in total, only my one and the other one in the north of the city are considered the largest. The other two can only be regarded as bookstores. They sell more pens, ink, paper and inkstones. There are fewer books. There are two schools in the south of the city and one in the north of the city. There are more students in the south of the city; the schools in the north of the city are rich children, with more teachers and fewer students."

After listening to this, Liu Ya sighed, secretly blaming herself for paying the "tuition fee" for not being wronged, fifty books, let's really treat it as buying news.If I had known this before, I shouldn't have trusted Zhu Nanshan. If I gave him the book, I should have gone directly to the south of the city.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya didn't say anything, nodded and said, "I'll take care of it." Then she asked Jiang Zitao, "Are you here to submit the manuscript?"

Jiang Zitao nodded, and said, "I wrote a lot more, maybe [-] to [-] words. The outline of the story you gave me, Miss Liu, is almost finished, and I will have no ideas when I write it again, so I came to teach the manuscript this time. Ask Miss Liu when she will write a follow-up outline for me."

Liu Ya took the oil-paper-wrapped manuscript from Jiang Zitao's hand, the weight was really heavy, it must have been written a lot.He said, "That's all for now. I'll proofread these manuscripts before giving you the outline for the rest. You can take a break for a few days. Don't worry, I will pay the money, and I will ask you to write the next few books."

After speaking, Liu Ya secretly calculated the remuneration that should be given to Jiang Zitao, and gave him the money before reviewing the manuscript.

With Liu Ya's words and seeing Yinzi again, Jiang Zitao's hanging heart was relieved.He really felt that it was good to have Liu Ya as a regular employer. He gave him a lot of money and gave him advice, which opened up his thinking in writing and benefited a lot.Although he didn't want to admit that Liu Ya was higher than some teachers, but he was silently convinced in his heart.

So Liu Ya said to let him rest, and he didn't have any complaints.In particular, he is very clear that the article is only half written, and he has already written it smoothly. As long as Liu Ya wants to continue publishing books, he should be able to use him.

Therefore, Jiang Zitao thanked him repeatedly, and thanked Liu Ya for providing him with a pen and paper, and sat aside without saying a word.

But Zhu Nanshan became anxious again, because Liu Ya no longer mentioned the matter of giving him the book, when will the second follow-up book be in his hands?
In fact, Zhu Nanshan is also a shrewd person. In his calculations, if fifty books are sent out, ten people will come back to find the second one, which is not bad.Especially the ones that were sent out earlier did not cost him money, and the next ten books have already been pre-ordered, so wouldn't that be equivalent to selling ten more books?

Liu Ya is so smart, she can naturally see what Zhu Nanshan is thinking.His idea is not kind, it is a typical idea of ​​profiteers.He doesn't invest his own capital, but wants to let others advertise for him, he only picks up the cheap ones that are ready-made.

Therefore, no matter how anxious Zhu Nanshan was, Liu Ya didn't answer his words, but said: "Master Zhu, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. Next time I'm free, I'll come to your place again Sit down."

After finishing speaking, he was about to go out. Before leaving, he asked Jiang Zitao who was sitting there: "I have never asked you, where do you live? If I write a follow-up article in the future, where can I find you?"

Jiang Zitao got up quickly, said the address of a house number, and said: "There are not many scholars on this street, and I am the only one surnamed Jiang. Miss Liu will know when she arrives."

Liu Ya nodded, indicating that she remembered.Just left.

Instead, Zhu Nanshan was left with an anxious face, rubbing his hands and said to Jiang Zitao: "Zitao, look at your job, I introduced it to you, and the people in this employer are pretty good. You can't jump over the pot Kang, from now on I will follow my boss, and I will not care about you, Big Brother Zhu."

If Zhu Nanshan didn't say that, Jiang Zitao, a simple-minded little scholar, wouldn't be able to think so much.But now that Zhu Nanshan was in a hurry, Jiang Zitao was not a fool, so he naturally thought about it.Only then did she suddenly understand that Liu Ya never asked her home address before, but only came to Zhu Nanshan to look for him; but this time she not only asked, but also directly said that she would go to him directly if she had something to do in the future. What is the deep friendship?

If this is the case, Jiang Zitao can only put aside a little friendship and let go of Zhu Nanshan's side.Besides, one is a book seller and the other is a book seller. In the past, the Four Treasures of the Study used by Jiang Zitao were also bought with money. Zhu Nanshan didn't give him anything more. He can only be regarded as a regular customer of the business relationship. Words.

Therefore, although Jiang Zitao kept saying yes, Zhu Nanshan was relieved.He said that when Miss Liu had news, he would come to tell Zhu Nanshan, but he already understood the reason why he couldn't have a close friendship with him.
