Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 210 Business Visit ([-])

"Please sit down." Han Shixin saw Liu Man'er sitting there writing seriously, as if he didn't know anyone was coming, so he moved a stool and invited the book dealers to sit down, and then walked to Liu Man'er's side to remind Said: "Boss, the people from the bookstore are here."

"En." Liu Man'er put down her pen and smiled at them, "Hi shopkeepers, please sit down."

"This is our boss, and her husband's family name is Ye." Han Shixin introduced to the other shopkeepers: "Generally, people call our boss Ye shopkeeper."

"Then that's how we're called. My surname is Chen. Thanks to everyone's love, I'm the president of the bookstore. The others are the shopkeepers of our bookstores." The shopkeeper Chen introduced.

Liu Man'er looked up at his appearance, a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, wearing a blue robe, with gray hair tied with a wooden hairpin, with a bookish look on his body, and a trace of spirit in his eyes.

When Liu Man'er was looking at him, he was also looking at Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er was sitting and covered with a veil, he couldn't see why, he could only see her pair of clear and transparent eyes, not like a businessman Seeing that she still has a pen and paper in front of her desk, she really looks like a scholar, but it's a pity that she is a woman.

After asking them to sit down, Liu Man'er did not speak, but the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment. Liu Man'er asked Yun Niang to greet the guests and bring tea and cakes. Everyone drank tea and ate snacks, but no one spoke about the book.

The people in the book store originally wanted Liu Man'er to open the mouth, but helplessly, Liu Man'er didn't seem to know about it at all, and just blindly invited them to drink tea and eat snacks.

"The Biluochun tea I made for you today is said to be morning tea, and the price is two or three times more expensive than ordinary tea, but I haven't tasted it, and I think it's no different from other teas." Putting down the teacup, Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"Of course there is a difference. The word morning tea is reflected in the word "Zao". This morning tea is tender and fragrant, especially at this time, the tea is so fragrant, it is simply a blessing." A shopkeeper heard Liu Man'er talking about tea, and couldn't bear I can't help talking, "The earlier the tea is picked, the better. Morning tea at this time is even better. After Qingming, it will be worthless."

"Yes." One of the shopkeepers took the topic, and said with a smile: "You should do everything early, what does shopkeeper Ye think?"

"That's right." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "So, those of us who write the storybook, please ask the storyteller to talk about it, and we will publish the book immediately, and then sell it. All kinds of versions are flying all over the sky.”

"That's the reason." President Chen nodded and said, "The shopkeeper Ye's movements are extremely fast, but it's still a bit slow if you just rely on selling stalls. I think it's better to leave it to our bookstore to sell."

"I think so too." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, then sighed helplessly, and said, "So I asked people to find the storekeepers of the bookstores from the very beginning, but it's a pity that my subordinates can't speak. I don’t agree, I can only think of other ways, fortunately, this way is not bad, and finally sold some.”

"Yes." President Chen said, "I haven't seen Shopkeeper Han before, otherwise, I would have asked him to talk in detail. Now that I am visiting, I also want to talk to Shopkeeper Ye about the cooperation."

"Oh, it's because my subordinates can't recognize people clearly." Liu Man'er understood President Chen's words, and flattered him casually, "Fortunately, President Chen's subordinates can produce many people, otherwise we will miss this good opportunity .”

After Han Shixin on the side heard this, he quickly admitted his mistake and said, "It's all my fault. I thought it would be fine to go to the store directly. I didn't find you, President Chen."

"It's okay." President Chen waved his hand, and the atmosphere became quiet again.

He couldn't help being a little annoyed, this shopkeeper Ye was too dumb to speak, did he want to do business or didn't want to do business, why did the last two or three sentences go wrong?Or just quiet down.

Thinking of this, he winked at a benevolent old shopkeeper next to him, and the old shopkeeper got up and asked, "Shopkeeper Ye, we plan to buy your book. I don't know how much the shopkeeper Ye plans to pay for it?"

"It still depends on how many copies your bookstore needs." Liu Man'er said, "If you need less than five hundred copies, you will sell them at forty yuan a volume. The market price is fifty yuan, and you need five hundred to one thousand copies. There are 35 articles in one volume, and more than a thousand copies are required.”

"Well, shopkeeper Ye's price is a bit high, right?" said another shopkeeper.

"It's not too high." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "I'd ask someone to copy a copy, and it would cost me ten cents. What's more, my book is the only one. It's like morning tea, and it's worth a lot."

"But if your morning tea can't be sold, it will become old tea. No one buys old tea." The shopkeeper who was talking about tea with Liu Man'er just now gave Liu Man'er a sideways look.

"Yes." Liu Man'er still nodded, and said quite casually: "So I have been selling it to people now. Although the retail costs a little bit of effort, it also saves the middle part."

"But retailing is too troublesome after all." President Chen on the side continued: "You must know that you must have spent a lot of money to hire someone to engrave these stamps, right? The more you sell, the more money you make. Shopkeeper Ye's eyes To take a long-term perspective, you have to think that there are still many cities outside."

"Well, so, didn't President Chen and the others come here?" Liu Man'er didn't like to talk to them in a roundabout way, so she said directly:

"President Chen, if you guys want to buy it, the price I just mentioned, I am not a person who likes to bargain, more than [-] copies, I will give you [-] Wen per copy, which is the lowest price. I have no other hobbies, I just like to write some chatterbooks, but even though I have little talent and learning, the things I write are quite popular. I believe this cooperation is just a starting point. Whether you cooperate or not depends entirely on you."

Seeing Liu Man'er's expression of not wanting to talk, President Chen also lost his temper. He said, "The quantity we want to buy is naturally more than a thousand copies, so can this price be made cheaper? How about fifteen cents a copy?" Sample?"

"Fifteen coins, why don't you go grab it." Although Liu Man'er's words were soft and pleasant, she said mercilessly, "Thirty coins, it cannot be less, this is a win-win situation, I will sell you thirty coins , you go out and sell it, you can pay as much as you want."

"Could it be that the girl doesn't understand that selling books is nothing compared to others, how can there be so many people buying them?" a shopkeeper snorted coldly.

Liu Man'er smiled and said: "That depends on your abilities. Look at how popular my book is in this county now. This story is passed on by word of mouth. I have confidence in them. What's more, the first three books sold Book, I still have many more, the more popular it will be in the future, and I hardly need to rely on you to promote it later."

"To be disrespectful, although my book is not as good as those written by famous Confucianists, this kind of story will definitely be more popular than those great principles. It seems that no matter what you say now, it is not as good as real gold and silver. my heart."

What Liu Man'er said was vulgar. Nowadays, people don't always put money on the front when they do business. Most of them show their fingers. Liu Man'er doesn't like to understand their code words. Buying and selling is just buying and selling. There is no need to be so obtrusive and elegant. .

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, President Chen pondered for a while, and said, "The price of [-] Wen is too expensive. Even if we sell it for [-] Wen, we won't be able to earn much at all after taking into account travel expenses and other things."

"Hey, President Chen also needs to be considerate and considerate of me. I don't need to spend money on engraving, printing, typesetting, paper, and ink? Not to mention that I have worked so hard to write these scripts. It is even more laborious day and night. Suffering painstaking efforts." Compared to the pitiful complaint, Liu Man'er is not afraid of anyone now.

President Chen and the others stopped talking, and Liu Maner also got impatient with the wait, and said, "Should the shopkeepers buy it or not? If I buy it, I can ask someone to print it. If I don't buy it, I can go to the lobby and have a cup of tea. My house is empty." Yes, you won’t be left to eat.”

"I want to buy it, so it's the price?" President Chen twitched when he heard Liu Man'er's words of driving away customers. This girl is really disrespectful.He was still about to open his mouth to bargain, but Liu Man'er felt that they were too mean-spirited. These people, how long does it take to negotiate a small business? Don't you know that pregnant women are in a hurry?

Because she has already thought of a way out, although it is more troublesome, it may not be a way out, if they are not willing to buy, she doesn't have to force her, she simply said coldly: "In terms of price, this is already the lowest price, and you are big shopkeepers. Can you stop talking about it? If you can build a city, forget it if you can’t, I still have to write a new script.”

"The new story book, can you let me have a look?" One of the shopkeepers' eyes lit up. In fact, they didn't quite believe that the wonderful stories were written by this little girl.

In fact, Liu Man'er is not too young, but after pregnancy, her skin has improved a lot, and during this period of time, she has lost a lot of weight. She doesn't like to wear her hair up at home. She wears a face scarf and sits there. People mistakenly think that she is a young girl who has not left the cabinet, and the other is because Liu Man'er can be regarded as a little girl in front of these middle-aged people.

"I can't." Liu Man'er refused, thinking that these people really have no eyesight, do they just look at these things casually?She didn't want to talk too much with them, so she said, "Let me tell you guys, are you here to buy something, or are you deliberately offering a reserve price, but there are actually other plans?"

"Of course I'm here to buy things." The shopkeeper who spoke just now also knew that it was Meng Lang himself, and retracted his hand a little embarrassedly.

"Then tell me how much you want, sign a contract, pay the money, and I'll print it for you, all of you old men, why are you so lazy?" Liu Man'er was in a hurry, she didn't want to talk about business now, Just want to drive them away!It's annoying to look at it with grinding and chirping!

After being repeatedly moaned by a girl, President Chen and the others couldn't hold back, and said, "The price of [-] Wen is really too high. We have to go back and discuss it with other shopkeepers."

"Then go back and discuss? Time is money, and an inch of time is worth an inch of gold. Uncle Han, see off the guests, let the big shopkeepers go back to discuss, discuss it, accept it, come again, don't talk about nothing, everything If you can't be the master, just talk about it here!"

Although it was said to Han Shixin, President Chen and the others still blushed when they heard it. Some people wanted to refute, but seeing that Liu Man'er didn't even look at them anymore, they could only shut up resentfully.

"I'm sorry, our boss's temper is like this." Han Shixin sent them out, and apologized to several people: "Pregnant women have a more irritable temper. Please understand, if you can achieve success, you can't become benevolence and righteousness."

"Pregnant woman?" President Chen and the others were a little curious, "You said that little girl just now was a pregnant woman?"

"Yes, yes, she is about to give birth." Han Shixin replied: "She was also irritable, and she is not a person who likes to beat around the bush."

"Well, shopkeeper Ye is right. An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. We think too much." President Chen couldn't care less about Han Shixin, so he just waved to him and left helplessly.

Liu Man'er went to the hut, and when she came back, she saw Han Shixin waiting for her in the study.

"What's the matter, Uncle Han." She was really a little annoyed now, and she was tired from talking about it just now.

"I just want to ask, Mistress, do you still plan to cooperate with them?" Han Shixin said in a low voice, "To be honest, we still have to rely on them to sell books."

"I've already given them the cheapest price." Liu Man'er said impatiently, "It doesn't matter if we can cooperate or not. Anyway, let your people sell books properly first. If it's really not possible, ask me A few clever little beggars came to help sell it. When it becomes popular, local booksellers like them don’t want to sell it for me, so there will naturally be merchants outside who want to make money.”

"Understood." Han Shixin also saw Liu Man'er's impatience these days, and didn't want to bother her any more, so he bowed and left.

"Wait." Liu Man'er saw Uncle Han's slightly hunched back, and remembered that her tone just now was indeed a bit inappropriate, so she stopped Han Shixin and said, "I know that Uncle Han is also concerned about our business, and his tone was a bit aggressive just now. Don't be surprised, just let nature take its course, maybe those people will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Will it?" Uncle Han looked at Liu Man'er expectantly. After all, it was too much trouble for him to find someone to set up a stall, and selling it to a bookstore was the only way to settle it once and for all.

"Yes!" Liu Man'er nodded resolutely, and said, "Okay, you are also tired during this period, don't think too much, there is nothing to do these days, take a good rest."

"En." Han Shixin responded, and left the study with a feeling of apprehension, while Liu Man'er sat down and continued to work.
