Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 889 Encountered a Difficulty

Nanling was honest and straightforward, he laughed and said: "Actually, thanks to your master, Feihong Bookstore's books are selling well, so we can get busy here."

Liu Ya turned her head to look at Zhou Dongsheng again, and asked him, "What about you? Do you feel any difficulties?"

Zhou Dongsheng just shook his head at first, but then he thought about it and said, "Boss, come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, let's go." Liu Ya was surprised, not knowing what Zhou Dongsheng was going to say to herself this week.Besides, she and Zhou Dongsheng had only met once, but she was more familiar with Nanling. Why did Zhou Dongsheng speak more than Nanling?

Nanling was also quite strange, and asked from behind: "Brother Zhou, do you need my help?"

Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and said, "I'm just showing my boss two books, nothing else. Brother Nanling, go in and do your work."

After talking about leading the way, he walked in the direction of the warehouse behind.He didn't stop until he came to the door of the side room where he lived temporarily, and said, "Master, my house is in a mess, you can just wait here for a while. I'll go in and bring it for you to see."

Liu Ya nodded in agreement, and waited outside the door.

Not long after Zhou Dongsheng went in, he came out with two books and handed them to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya looked at the cover of the book, they were two completely different books.But one of them was "written by Liu Ya" and "written by Zhao Tiansheng", which was printed by their bookstore.Liu Ya didn't know the signer of the other book, it was written by a person named "Cen Yan".

Liu Ya didn't understand what Zhou Dongsheng meant by showing her this, so she put the book signed by herself below, and opened the book written by "Cen Yan" alone.

There was no connection between the two books from the outside, but Liu Ya was stunned when she opened the inside to look at the contents.He narrowed his eyes, turned back a few pages, then raised his head and asked Zhou Dongsheng, "Where did you come from, this book?"

"Boss, you can see the problem." Zhou Dongsheng took the book, flipped through it, and said, "I accidentally took it from a former customer. It sold very well there. And the price is cheap. The only downside is that the printing of this book is not as good as the ones in our workshop. The lettering is not exquisite, the paper is thin, and the binding is not good. But the content of these two books, Almost exactly the same."

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Indeed, the main character's name has been changed, some minor changes have been made in some less important places, and the rest have not changed at all."

It can be said that the book Zhou Dongsheng gave Liu Ya is an ancient pirated book.Although the quality is not good, the price is cheap; the content is slightly different, but the main line is basically the same.

What's even more exasperating is that in this pirated book, apart from changing the name of the main character, the other small supporting roles were brought out intact.

If you haven’t seen the original version, it’s fine. If you get it together and compare it for a while, you will know that the person who pirated it is so lazy that he doesn’t even bother to change his name.

Zhou Dongsheng said again: "Master, the book I found is just not sold in the academy. In fact, most of the bookstores in the towns below have already started selling this book. The key is the sale of this book. The time is about the same as the time it takes for us to send it to Feihong Bookstore after it is printed. This rules out the possibility of someone imitating the book sold by Feihong Bookstore. You know, it takes at least ten days for the book to be completed, so the other party must It was the manuscript that we got around the same time, and they were printed together. I feel that if we let this matter develop in the long run, it will be difficult for us and Feihong Bookstore to explain."

Liu Ya squinted her eyes and took a breath, nodded and said: "I see, I will handle this matter, and I will definitely investigate it as soon as possible. Brother Zhou, you did a good job, and you were able to discover such a thing. Why don't you ask the customer who gave you the book, who actually sold Cen Yan's book to them."

Liu Ya was already wondering in her heart, who is this ghost?There are only a few people who can get the manuscript at the same time.However, Liu Ya intuitively believed that it would not be someone from Nanling, let alone Zhou Dongsheng.

"I asked about this too, but it's not convenient for him to tell. I don't know that customer very well. I had a good relationship with him when my old boss was in charge. He just gave me this. It's already very face-saving. .”

Liu Ya also knew that it was difficult to find out the source, and it was not easy to plug this gap.After thinking for a while, he said, "The most important thing at the moment is to ban these copies of our books first. Do you know if there is such a thing about flipping books, who will take care of them? Can you report to the authorities?"

Zhou Dongsheng nodded and said, "Normally, it should be reported to the government. However, if there is no one who can speak up, the government may not take care of it. Unless we verify it ourselves, we can find the warehouse where these fake books are stored. Let the reporters let the officers and soldiers go and get the stolen goods."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Dongsheng said again: "However, you can also go and talk to the person in charge of Feihong Bookstore. Feihong Bookstore was originally my family's workshop. Once Feihong Bookstore came forward, someone will take care of it. .”

Liu Ya felt that what Zhou Dongsheng said made sense.But Feihong Bookstore is a formal academy that distributes books to various towns.And these pirated books are sold in the bookstore, and will not affect the business of Feihong Bookstore. Of course, there is no need to pay attention to Feihong Bookstore.

Liu Ya said: "The book, I took it away. You can find out as much information as you can. Even if you can't find out who is the source of the fraud, at least I will stop these bookstores that sell fake books first. Otherwise, when Feihong Bookstore really intervenes, we will be speechless."

Liu Ya was afraid that Feihong Bookstore would think that they were stealing.Therefore, they have to do it themselves first to check for pirated copies.

Zhou Dongsheng said again: "Boss, I have also noticed that these books are not sold very widely. That is to say, the towns around Anji City are the most. No matter how far away, it is not easy to sell, or the other party I didn’t dare to make it too big, so I haven’t discovered it yet.”

Liu Ya asked him: "Then I don't know, has this book imitated our book before?"

Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and said, "Only this one."

Liu Ya said: "Okay, I understand. Don't say anything about this matter, you should inquire secretly. I will deal with it as soon as possible."

After speaking, Liu Ya asked Zhou Dongsheng if he had anything else to do. Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and said it was all right, and Liu Ya left the book printing workshop.

On the way to Tongli Yinzhuang, Liu Ya was planning countermeasures in her head.
