Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 682
Didn't he just sleep in this room last night?The book is left here, and he just came to get it now?
"Hey, Mr. Wen didn't let me take it, and I haven't asked you yet, so how dare you take it." Zhao Junrui explained embarrassingly.He really wanted to take it, but he thought that if Xiao Qi'er went crazy, the consequences would be very serious.

"Okay, seeing how obedient you are, I'll give you a copy first." Fang Xiaofu couldn't help laughing when he saw the boy scratching his head, so he gave him a picture album, "Go to the library and read it. homework."

"Understood." Zhao Junrui didn't think she was wordy, took the book and ran away happily.

After Zhao Junrui left, the three brothers came over.Fang Zijian and Fang Ziyuan each left one copy and took the rest away. They will not go back until a few days later. Of course, the books are put in the library first.

Fang Xiaofu pointed to the two books that belonged to him, and then bounced away in front of him with his hands behind his back.Fang Zizhan smiled, picked up the book and followed, and went back to the study on the third floor with her.

"Xiao Qi'er, brother Wen also brought the money for the manuscript last night." Fang Zizhan entered the room and tied his wallet, and took out his purse while talking.

"That's right, I completely forgot about this sum. At the beginning, I promised to save it with my brother to buy us a house, but it was useless later." Fang Xiaofu poured a cup of tea and went to the balcony to lean against the window to watch the scenery.

At that time, I thought that tens of taels a month was a lot of money, and I thought I could buy a house after saving for a year or so.Looking back now, I really feel that I am not in the same dimension.

"This is the money for the remaining four books." Fang Zizhan sat down on the beauty's couch, first counted 80 taels, and then took out a stack of bank notes with large denominations, "This is the money for the picture album. Listed, not counted."

"The first three volumes, as of the last day of June, have sold over 5000 volumes in eight bookstores. After deducting various costs, we will give us an integer of [-] taels of silver."

Fang Zizhan handed over five 1000 taels of silver bills, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen also said, starting from the next time you hand in the manuscript, it depends on whether you will increase the price per piece, or also calculate the money according to the commission? "

"Didn't you just buy it out if you agreed to buy it out?" Fang Xiaofu gave Fang Zizhan a strange look, "You didn't agree, did you?"

But she didn't take the money. It was agreed at the beginning that the money for the manuscript and picture album would go directly to the small treasury.

"I didn't, but Brother Wen said that this amount of money is nothing to you and him, but business needs to be negotiated, and one yard is worth one yard. If you don't accept it, he will give it to you by drawing lots." Decide on one."

Seeing this, Fang Zizhan took the bank note again.

"Uh..." Fang Xiaofu was suddenly embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, my brother used this method to force her to collect money.But what he said made sense, they were all businessmen, and when it was time to talk about business, they naturally had to do business.

"Sunset Hero's Dream" and "Big Face Cat and Blue Mouse's Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" have always been bundled and sold together, and they are still in the promotion period, so the sales should be about the same.

It's just that there is a difference in price, but the corresponding cost is also much lower. I am afraid that only my brother knows who is more profitable, and it is not easy for her to ask.

"Sales are booming during the promotional period. Once there are no discounts and other discounts in the future, the fire will gradually diminish or even go out."

"Besides, the sales are already saturated. Unless there are new customers coming in, the sales volume will definitely not be able to climb. Therefore, if we want to continue to make money, we can only continue to expand new branches and continue to promote sales in places that have not been developed. .”

Fang Xiaofu thought for a while and couldn't help but sigh.

"But it takes money and time to keep opening a shop. Although my brother has made a lot of money, he certainly can't keep up with the speed of opening a shop. Moreover, he is going to take the imperial examination, so he can't run outside all day."

"Xiao Qi'er, look at the eight bookstores breaking [-] volumes in just over two months. If another eight bookstores are opened, will they be able to break through [-] volumes in a month? Adding the previous eight bookstores, it will be [-] to [-] volumes a month. Can you guarantee it?"

Fang Zizhan thought for a while and said, "The cost of opening a bookstore may be much higher than that of our restaurant, but the daily loss is much smaller."

"Well, let's do the bottom line. One bookstore costs 5 taels, including workshops, manpower, and transportation, and eight stores cost 40 taels. It is estimated that it will take at least five years to earn back."

"Of course, with the help of our best-selling books to make money, we can make money faster, but if we speed up the rollout in the same way, the cost to be paid out in the short term will be more, and the pressure will also increase."

"What if we open one more room a month? The cost pressure will be much lower." Fang Zizhan thought about it, thinking that although the pace would be slower, it would be more secure, wouldn't it?
"I don't think Brother Wen should have a workshop for every bookstore. It is estimated that there is one workshop for each state capital. The cost of transporting by horses and carts should be lower, and there is no need for an escort agency."

Who came here to snatch the goods from the bookstore?It's either books or paper, and it's from Tianyi Bookstore.How stupid is it to recruit people to do such a thing?
"Well, the bookstore must have its own transportation team, don't they also buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones? But there is only one room a month, which is too little." Fang Xiaofu also sat down on the beauty bed, and handed the teacup to Fang Zizhan.

"Xiao Qier, I know that you have received so much commission from your brother, and the price of the manuscript has to be raised. I am worried for him. I am afraid that once the sales cool down, he will not be able to make so much money."

Fang Zizhan drank the remaining tea in the cup, turned around and put the cup on the inner window sill, and hugged Fang Xiaofu with his arms crossed.

"But don't forget, your elder brother is Mr. Tianyi. He has more experience and qualifications than you in traveling and doing business. He must have foreseen such a situation."

"Well, I'm worrying too much." Fang Xiaofu stuck out his tongue and smiled, he must have thought too much just now.

Elder brother is the famous Mr. Tianyi, uh, even before she knew him, his Tianyi Bookstore was still doing well, the business was not bad, and his reputation was not small.

However, my brother opened five branches in a row a month ago, and she really helped in it.

But my brother has a scumbag father, who not only doesn't help him, but always hurts him. To break through the scumbag's sphere of influence, the only way is to keep adding branches, expanding influence, and increasing the strength to respond to crises.

"Little Qi'er, didn't you suggest that Uncle Xu's bakery be opened in the capital last time? If Tianyi Bookstore also opened in the capital, wouldn't it be more promising?"

Fang Zizhan put Fang Xiaofu's shoulders on his shoulders, looked sideways at the man who was obviously dressed as a young boy but showed the expression of a little girl, and suddenly thought of this.

"Well, as I mentioned before, my brother opened the bookstore by the way when he was planning to go to Beijing to catch the exam. It should be in the next year. Ah... That's right!" Fang Xiaofu nodded, and suddenly remembered another thing.
