The two first went to the bookstore where Xiao Hanzheng copied books, which is also the largest in the county.
The shopkeeper saw Xiao Hanzheng and said with a full smile: "Young Master Xiao is here, do you want to take the book back and copy it today?"
Xiao Hanzheng is the only one who has been out in Nanxi County for so many years, so he is very polite.
Xiao Hanzheng replied with a light smile: "I'm not copying the book today, I wrote a script, I want to show it to the shopkeeper, you can accept it or not."
The shopkeeper was stunned, "Ah, what script did Young Master Xiao write?"
Xiao Hanzheng has copied books from him for several years, but he has never written a script.
It seemed that the other party didn't like those love words too much.
So he was a little curious, what script Xiao Hanzheng would write.
Xiao Hanzheng took out the written manuscript and handed it over.
The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to serve tea for the two of them, and he sat on the side and watched.
Originally, when I read the first two chapters, I felt a little inexplicable. What did this write?
There is no love, nor is it a ghost.
The writing is good, but unfortunately the story is not good.
But I still endured and watched it patiently, and then I was fascinated by it.
When he saw that the protagonist stepped into the immortal way and was about to enter the sect, the manuscript disappeared.
He said still, "Young Master Xiao's script is very innovative. It's the first time I've seen someone write such a script for cultivating immortals, and I really want to continue reading the follow-up."
He asked: "Are you going to write a long story?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "If the price is right and it sells well, I will write a long one."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "According to my experience, this should not sell well."
"I just don't know Mr. Xiao, what price do you want to sell?"
Xiao Hanzheng had discussed with Shi Qingluo before he came, "I don't want to sell the manuscripts alone to negotiate the price, but want to share."
This is the idea of the little daughter-in-law. He thinks it is very good, so if the book sells well, he will not lose money.
The shopkeeper was puzzled, "What is the share?"
Xiao Hanzheng said: "It means how many books you sell each month, after deducting your printing, shop rent and other costs, the profit you earn will be divided into 40%."
This is the first time the shopkeeper has encountered such a phone book.
He said in embarrassment: "This, our shop has never received a script like this."
Xiao Hanzheng smiled indifferently, "Then I'll take it to another bookstore to see."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt bad for the whole person. He thought it would be popular. If they were sold by other families, they would not only lose money, but would also be robbed of a lot of business.
So he smiled and said, "I can't make up my mind about this. It just so happened that my son came to the bookstore today to check the accounts. How about I go upstairs and ask for instructions?"
Xiao Hanzheng also knew that the shopkeeper could not control this kind of thing, "Yes."
The shopkeeper greeted with a smile and went upstairs with the manuscript.
Upstairs, Bai Xu was looking at the bookstore's ledger and was a little dissatisfied with the bookstore's profitability in recent months.
The bookstore opened by the Wu family has published several newsbooks in the past six months, stealing a lot of their business.
While thinking about it, the shopkeeper came in.
"Master, I have a new story book here. The subject matter is novel and the story is good-looking. It's not the kind of vulgar love. I think it may become popular."
"But the person who wrote the script wanted 40% of the profit as a reward. I can't be the master, so I want you to make up your mind."
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper handed over the manuscript.
Bai Xu was also the first to hear about such a way of selling a script. He took over the script curiously, "I'll take a look at it first."
When he sees the plot of the protagonist's death and turning danger into safety, or when he encounters a baby, he can't help but clapping the table and applauding.
After reading it, I still feel the same as the shopkeeper.
He asked: "Do you still have the manuscript?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "No more." He also wanted to continue watching.
Bai Xu suddenly became interested, "Invite someone to talk."
He asked again: "By the way, do I know the person who sold the book?"
The shopkeeper replied: "I know, Xiao Xiucai, who has been hit with Xiaosanyuan."
The shopkeeper nodded: "It looks good, and the body should be fine."
"It's said that it's good luck, it's also a god." He now believes some rumors.
Bai Xu thought of Xiao Hanzheng's difficult daughter-in-law when he heard this.
"Okay, please bring people up."
"Yes!"
Soon the shopkeeper took Xiao Hanzheng and the two into the private room upstairs.
Shi Qingluo was stunned when she saw Bai Xu sitting in the private room, "So this bookstore was opened by your family!"
This is even better.
Bai Xu always felt that the girl looked at her like a dog saw a bone.
Bah, he is not a bone.
He smiled, "Yes, this is my Bai family's property."
Then stood up and bowed to Xiao Hanzheng, "Hello, Young Master Xiao!"
Xiao Hanzheng also bowed his hands to him, "Young Master Bai is polite!"
Bai Xu raised his hand, "You two, please sit down."
Xiao Hanzheng sat down opposite him.
Bai Xu asked, "Young Master Xiao, you wrote this immortal cultivator?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, how does Young Master Bai look?"
Bai Xu said truthfully: "It's well written."
He turned around and said, "It's the way you want to be paid. It's the first time I've encountered it."
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "If you have one, there will be two, just get used to it, Mr. Bai."
He didn't go around in circles, "Then what do you think of my remuneration proposal?"
Bai Xu tapped the table with his fingertips, "I think 40% of you are too tall."
Xiao Hanzheng was not good at bargaining, so Shi Qing fell on it.
She stretched out her index finger and shook it, "You are wrong, we want 40% to be not high at all."
"Let's not talk about the profits that this book will bring you and the reputation of the bookstore if it becomes popular."
She emphasized, "As long as you cooperate with us, you will make a lot of money. If we want 40%, you will definitely take advantage."
Bai Xu: "..." Is this asking him to take advantage?
They used to receive the phone book and pay all the remuneration to the person who wrote the phone book, and it was not even 10% of the profit.
He raised his eyebrows, "You tell me, how can I make a lot of money and take advantage of it when I cooperate with you?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "The book is good. If this book is popular, my husband will cooperate with your bookstore for the next book."
"Our family also made edible tofu that the whole beam does not have. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
Bai Xu shook his head, "No."
The shopkeeper interjected, "Master, I know this, a new kind of food that has become popular in the past two days."
"My daughter-in-law bought a piece for cooking yesterday, and it tastes really good."
Bai Xu's mind turned and looked at Shi Qingluo, "What does this have to do with selling words?"
Shi Qingluo said: "Of course it has something to do with it. Isn't your family's restaurant fighting with the Wu family?"
"If you get tofu and other soy products from our house and make them into vegetables, let alone in Nanxi County, it's the first one in the whole Daliang."
"I also know a lot of tofu recipes, and I can give them to you when the time comes."
One more major client is one, and she estimates that she will have to find Bai Xu to cooperate with others in the future.
Otherwise, it is too troublesome to rely on scattered sales, and you have to go mainly through the wholesale route.
