Chapter 59 59. Wang Qingnan: The destiny is in me!

The Zhang Family.

"Father, there is something moving."

Zhang Yan rushed in: "The following people found out that Li Si, who was beside Su Daoist, betrayed and sold the storytelling manuscript for sale. I gave it to the Wang Family; oh, there is also a branch of 'Tongtian Inn'; the other Inns of the two 'storytelling alliance' have all sold their manuscripts privately."

"Dad, when are we going to do it? Su daoist cleaning the door?"

"Wait."

Zhang Jin looked strange: "That Li Si, that is: I went to apologize yesterday, the young man next to Su daoist. ?"

"That's not quite right!"

"To say: There are other Inns in the 'Story Union', one family and two, who are tempted by interests to sell manuscripts privately, I believe it."

"But how could the branch of 'Babel Inn', and that Li Si, have problems in this regard?"

"I really have to force an explanation, 'Tongtian Inn'. Inn' branch, it's not unreasonable to have one or two scum; but that Li Si, who is Su Daoist's side, betrayed so easily?"

He said here, browses tightly knit: "From what I've seen for so many years, Su Daoist knows people... that's not enough!"

"Father, what do you mean... this is a trap?!" Zhang Yan widened his eyes.

"It's 60-70% possible!"

Zhang Jin narrowed his eyes: "This time, Wang Family, I'm afraid it's a set."

"This time ..."

Zhang Yan had cold sweat on his forehead: "Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't act in a hurry! Otherwise, if I acted rashly and destroyed Su Daoist's arrangement, it would be ineffective."

"Keep watching!"

Zhang Jin took two steps back and forth: "In this case, you tell the people below to keep their eyes on Li Si, and the few people who sold the manuscripts privately. People."

"If they are obediently and honestly, that's fine, but if they have the intention to run away, stop me... By the way, Wang Family, they can't relax either."

"Hey, Dad, don't worry."

Zhang Yan assured: "Wang Family, Li Si, and if there are any problems, I will send someone to watch them to death. Dead!"

......

Wang Family.

Wang Qingnan's Old Master, now can be described as: happy and sad.

The happy thing is: I finally got the storybook drafts of "Painted Skin", "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections", "Journey to the West";

Sad It is also for this reason that this time, the three or four groups of people dispatched were all successful at once, and three or four copies were obtained.

The latter, not a good thing.

You must know: the 'activity fund' for a manuscript is eight or nine hundred, or one thousand silver, three or four copies, that is, three or four thousand taels!

That's three-four hundred thousand dollars spent.

It also blamed him for being so eager at the time, he divided the attack into four groups, and gave each group a cap of 1,000 taels of 'activity funds'.

I never thought about it, but now I have it!

"However, although the price paid was a little higher, the goal was finally achieved...hehe, the surnamed Su was betrayed by others, which can also be proved from the side: he is unpopular and destined to be. It's with me."

Wang Qingnan looked at the manuscript in his hand, high-spirited and vigorous: "When the manuscript is printed, it will be sold in the city, and today all these efforts will be paid back tenfold, a hundredfold..."

"With time, my Wang Family will develop and become a local tycoon like the Zhang Family. I don't know... hahahaha!"

He laughed happily.

"Master,"

Zhou Fu couldn't help but reminded: "We...are we going a little too smoothly this time?"

He had previously , really want to run away.

But there is also a skill in running away: you must take advantage of a crisis for personal gain and run away while the building is about to collapse.

But at present, Wang Family is still cooking oil on the surface, and has not shown any signs of decline. If it runs away at this time, wouldn't it attract attention and attract firepower?

Furthermore, although there is a tendency for Wang Family to have accidents, it is only a trend. If he really ran away and made an oolong, wouldn't it be a big loss?

"hmph, Old Zhou, do you think I haven't thought about it?"

When Wang Qingnan saw Zhou Fu, at this happy time, when he said such dejected words, he was a little unhappy : "No, you're wrong, I've thought about this!"

"But I've been thinking about it, but I can't think of it. What can be set up in this."

"The manuscript is genuine, I have checked this, and it is exactly the same as what was said in the restaurant Inn outside. There are no errors or omissions."

"Then, it is printed... In this regard, then There is no problem, I am the champion, and there is no bookstore in the city that can match the quality of printing."

"The last sales channel, don't worry about it."

" That being the case,"

He looked towards Zhou Fu and asked, "Tell me: what else is there to be suspicious of?"

"This..."

p>

Zhou Fu was questioned.

He really couldn't think of it: in this, there is a possibility of digging a hole, so that the Wang Family can plant it.

"Okay."

Wang Qingnan waved his hand: "Notify the workers below to stop other orders and start printing these manuscripts overnight! Let them divide their shifts and rotate them in shifts. , don't let the machine stop..."

"Well, set a small goal and save 100,000 copies of it first!"

"Ah, sir, with such a backlog of supplies, Isn't it good?"

Zhou Fu whispered: "In case, if this is lost..."

"How can it be lost?"

Wang Qingnan was displeased by Zhou Fu's disappointment before, but now, he glared at the other impatiently: "I have already investigated these stories, the market is very tight, even if the West Ning City can't digest it, there are other places. ."

"Let's talk,"

He narrowed his eyes: "I received the exact news, the surnamed Su's, just waiting for the market to be hot and the story to ferment further, and then start again. Printing books... If I only print out a little bit, I will just take it out and sell it, wouldn't I be reminding the other party?"

"I just want to store more books and call the Surnamed Su a Completely Unprepared, let him make a wedding dress for me!"

"Then... okay!"

Zhou Fu saw Wang Qingnan, and his patience with himself had reached the limit, how could he Dare to say more?

He had to agree and go down to make arrangements.

…

The next ten days.

In West Ning City, nothing major happens.

No one is 'grabbing the headlines', and the Zuiyuehu Tanabata Poetry Festival has naturally become the 'number one on the search list', and, with the help of people with a heart, the movement is still getting louder and louder .

In the teahouse and tavern, the good people mostly discuss this matter.

Of course, the rays of light of Su Mu's storytelling have not been covered up.

With the development of the 'Storytelling Alliance', stories such as "Painted Skin", "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections", "Journey to the West", etc., have spread more and more widely.

Walking in the city, in the streets and alleys, you can see from time to time: there is a little child who lifts the sack covered in front of him, jumps out with a grimacing face, and shouts 'I'm a skinny ghost'.

Also: three three five five, mumbling 'Six Meridians Divine Sword', 'Dragon Subduing 18 Palms', 'Darknorth Divine Art' little children, playing together;

More is:

holding a bamboo stick, chasing the chicken and chasing the dog, shouting 'eat my old grandson';

Or, copy A bottle gourd shouts to people, 'I will call you, do you dare to agree'; ';

...

Even adults are affected unconsciously.

When you do something unspeakable, make a joke: 'eat me with a stick';

When you beat the children, come on: 'Look at you monkey , may pull out my Five Fingers Mountain ';

When buying and selling things, when you encounter shoddy ones, you can say: 'You can still escape my Golden Fire Eyes';

……

In the city, there are major bookstores.

Sometimes people come in and ask: Is there a booklet of "Painted Skin", "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections", "Journey to the West"?

When they got negative answers, they all left disappointed.

The most interesting thing is: Among the people who came to ask, the adults with small children are the least; the most are: the young master of the rich family, everyone's maid.

Young Master from a wealthy family, this is easy to understand—they listened to a half-part in a teahouse and tavern and found it interesting, so they went to the bookstore to see if there was a full book.

As for everyone's maid, it's because: many ladies from famous families have heard a story from various channels and are very interested, but they are not like men, who go to show their faces, grab seats, and squeeze teahouses. The wine shop...

So, I can only tell the maid to go to the bookstore to buy books.

During this period.

There is also news that these stories will be published in the near future, both believers and unbelievers.

However, many people still have expectations in their hearts.

…

in this context.

The Wang Family works day and night, working in shifts, printing the manuscripts of "Painted Skin", "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections", and "Journey to the West" in large quantities. ("Journey to the West" Su Mu did not finish, only the first two or three volumes)

The house in the south of the city.

【Printer】The printer is constantly printing all day long.

Su Mu was too busy to watch Gu Pan alone, and the next day, she even bought three or five maids to take turns on duty with her.

So.

A special 'arms race' begins.

One is the 'prey' and the other is the 'hunter' hidden in the dark.

……

However, during this time, the Wang Family was busy, and the hope of the house in the south of the city.

Su Mu is still as leisurely as ever, taking Han Shi, storytelling, mining, and strolling around the city... a small time has passed leisurely.

Even.

In response to Wang Family's counterattack planning, Su Mu used no doubt, and directly delegated it to Zhu Fugui. Oh, and by the way, he also gave him a 'marketing manual' as a reward.

Then let it go.

A trifling small Wang Family is nothing more than worth Su Mu's personal troubles.

As for Zhu Fugui himself, he is naturally happy.

—— Not to mention that he can get exercise, but only to say that the 'marketing manual' made him astonished and felt that he was not at a loss, and it also strengthened his idea of hugging his thighs.

…

This day.

Wang Family.

"Master, according to what you said, we, Zhuangyuanfang, postponed other orders, and more than 20 printing houses have produced 110,200,000 to 20,000 books in a ten-day rush."

Zhou Fu reported: "If you add other inventory, the warehouse will be too full."

"Has it reached the limit?"

Wang Qingnan heard the words, Still a little unwilling, I feel that the stock is still slightly insufficient, but there is nothing to do.

“What is the cost of these books?”

“Because of the large-scale printing, the cost is diluted. Even if you add workers’ wages, materials, and machine wear and tear... it’s only about seventy books. If the wholesale price is set at 100 yuan; the market price is tentatively set at 120 yuan."

Zhou Fu said, adding: "Master, this cost is already very low... Other bookstores in the city are limited by scale and technology. Even if they follow the trend of printing, they are unlikely to be lower than ours. On average, the cost of each book is 5 to 20 more articles."

"Not bad."

Wang Qingnan nodded with satisfaction: "Since the preparations are almost done, let's start selling!"

"However, don't set wholesale prices for this batch of books. You don't need to give it to outside channels, just in our own bookstore, we can directly produce and sell it."

"With the popularity of these stories, we can bring it up a level with our bookstore, and also You can take the opportunity to suppress the business of other bookstores."

"Master, this...isn't it not good? I'm afraid it will offend many people!" Zhou Fuwei.

"How can you not offend people when you make money? Hello, I'm good, it's with mud, not business."

Wang Qingnan waved his hand: "There's no need for this. If there is a dispute, just do as I say."

"Hey, yes, sir!"

Zhou Fu agreed and resigned helplessly.

……

Wait for Zhou Fu to leave.

Wang Qingnan happily calculated:

"The cost of 70 yuan, the sale of 120 yuan, the net profit is 50 yuan...

100,000 books, that's 5 million dollars, and the net profit of 5,000 silver tael!"

"Just this time, the cost of buying the book will be fully recovered, and there is still a surplus."

p>

"Besides, this is only the first one. With the popularity of those novels, they can still sell well in other places."

"And Yu country has so many cities, how much does it cost? Where's the money?!"

He thought about the future: "As long as this business can be done safely for about a year, then even Zhang Family will not be enough."

"It's just a pity, my son..."

When Wang Qingnan thought about his son who was seriously injured, his mood suddenly turned bad again.

"Stop, stop, wait until my son's injury is completely recovered, presumably my Wang Family has become a powerful force... Then, I'll settle the account with the surnamed Su!"

He looked gloomy and snorted coldly.

 …

Babel Inn.

Su Mu just spoke about the book for half an hour and was taking a break.

At this time.

A young servant came in in a hurry, saw Su Mu, step one stopped, came here, and whispered: "Su Daoist, Wang Family has started selling books!"

"en. ”

Su Mu nodded slightly: "I see, go to your shopkeepers!"

He handed over the planning of this matter to Zhu Rich, naturally too lazy to meddle in specific details.

"Hey!"

The little servant agreed, sighing in his heart, "As expected of a Su Daoist, he just has the determination", and went in quickly.

...

inside.

"What, the Wang Family has started selling books? And, are they going to eat alone?"

Zhu Fugui's face was astonished, and immediately, it was a surprise: "Wang Qingnan, this is bringing about one's own destruction!"

"According to the plan: propaganda starts... Those 'book boys' who have been trained and sold books can also be released... Also, in my name, quickly go to invite Those bookstore shopkeepers..."

He was methodical and gave orders quickly.

……

Thank you for your support, I can go to Sanjiang, so the time of listing is postponed, and it will be moved to next Friday...to celebrate, and it will be updated tomorrow.
