Shopkeeper Wang's eyes flashed with hope, and he said hurriedly: "Master Xu, tell me quickly, I am willing to listen attentively!"
Xu Qingdao: "This storybook will be sold first by Qingxue Bookstore. This cannot be changed. It can also be sold by Kaiyuan Bookstore two days later. However, 50% of the profit from the new book sold by Kaiyuan Bookstore will go to Qingxue Bookstore, and the remaining 50% will be given to Qingxue Bookstore."
Chengyuan Bookstore can keep it for himself."
Xiao Ye thought seriously, shopkeeper Wang's face was also uncertain.
Xu Qing looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, in this case Kaiyuan Bookstore can still get 50% of the profit. If you don't agree, the market size of this new book has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Wang!"
Then he looked at Xiao Ye and said: "Brother Xiao, if Qingxue Bookstore has just opened, there will probably be no customers. In this way, even if Qingxue Bookstore does not sell a single book of its own, you can still get the income from the sales of Kaiyuan Bookstore."
Brother Xiao needs to think carefully about the 50% profit."
Xiao Ye sighed and said, "Okay, just do what Brother Xu said."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Then you two will draw up a contract."
Half an hour later, Shopkeeper Wang left Qingxue Study with satisfaction.
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye looked at each other and smiled, now they no longer have to worry about their early income.
Xiao Ruxue also poked her head out from the side: "Success?!"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Successful."
In fact, all this was Xu Qing's plan. He deliberately walked past the Kaiyuan Bookstore with the manuscript in a arrogant manner, and deliberately let shopkeeper Wang see it.
And it made shopkeeper Wang successfully panic.
The reason is also very simple. Opposite is Kaiyuan Bookstore, which is much more famous than Qingxue Study.
When customers pass by here, do they trust your newly opened bookstore or an old bookstore like Kaiyuan Bookstore?
The result is a no-brainer!
Customers accumulate money over time, so they will definitely lose money in the beginning.
And Qingxue Study House doesn’t have much money to lose, they are all poor!
Especially Xiao Ye, he was eager to earn dozens of one hundred taels in the first month so that he could satisfy his desire to go to Piaoxiang Courtyard to listen to music.
Therefore, Xu Qing fell in love with Kaiyuan Bookstore. With the profits from Kaiyuan Bookstore, Qingxue Bookstore could still make a lot of money even if it didn't make any money at first.
Moreover, Xu Qing did not cheat him in a strict sense. After all, he even shared 50% of his profits!
So, this is called a win-win!
Qingxue Study Studio is not yet fully equipped. Including typesetting, printing, etc., it is conservatively estimated that it will take seven days to open.
Sitting at the table, Xiao Ye suddenly asked: "We share profits with Kaiyuan Bookstore, what if they cheat and deliberately give us less money? After all, we don't know how many books they can sell in a day.
It’s simply impossible to calculate.”
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Brother Xiao is right to be worried, but I will find a way."
Xiao Ruxue was lying on the table, holding her head with her hands, looking at Xu Qing and wondering: "What can you do?"
…
next day
County government
Xu Qing looked at Li Dong and Liu Jida and said, "If I remember correctly, you two are responsible for this street in the county government, right?"
Li Dong and Liu Ji nodded.
Liu Ji looked at Xu Qing and said, "What's wrong? Are you busy?"
Xu Qing said: "If you have nothing to do, go to Kaiyuan Bookstore and help me pay attention to some things."
Li Dong shook his head and said: "The police can't just enter the shop and arrest people without official approval."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "What are you arresting? Are you going into the store just to arrest people? Check the water meter, check the fire protection measures? If it doesn't work, you can check the sanitation! You can't even do this after being a policeman for such a long time.
No excuses?"
Li Dong and Liu Ji looked at Xu Qing doubtfully. It was okay to find an excuse to go in and check it casually, but... what was a water meter? What was a fire protection?
Xu Qing said: "I invite you to Piaoxiang Courtyard."
Li Dong curled his lips and said: "We can just talk when we have nothing to do and brag. Now that we are helping you with things, you should give us some practical benefits."
This is true. When he usually brags, Li Dong says that I go to Piaoxiang Courtyard thirty times a month, and Liu Ji says that it doesn't matter if I just live in Piaoxiang Courtyard.
Just kidding...
But this time I was really working for Xu Qing, and the benefits were no joke. After all, my brothers were still settling the scores!
Xu Qing was slightly startled, they actually thought he was lying to them?!
Okay, got it.
This is like asking you to donate 10 million. You will still donate 1 million, but you may not donate 100.
Because you really have a hundred...
Piaoxiangyuan is like that ten million, a blank check...
Xu Qing immediately slapped twenty taels of silver on the table, looked at the two people and said, "Is it enough to go to Piaoxiang Courtyard?"
Liu Ji and Li Dong's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's enough, that's enough!"
Then Xu Qing put away the money and patted their shoulders, smiling and saying: "I'll leave the matter to you two."
Liu Ji patted the stone table and said, "Okay, let's do it! But you agreed to go to Piaoxiang Courtyard, so you can't go back on it!"
Xu Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will do what I say."
At this moment, Su Qian's voice came from behind Xu Qing: "Are you going to Piaoxiang Courtyard?!"
Xu Qing jerked away, then turned around and found Su Qian looking at Xu Qing intently.
Xu Qing broke into a cold sweat and quickly shook his head and said: "It's nothing!"
Su Qian glanced at Liu Ji and Li Dong, who immediately ran away in a hurry.
"Xu Qing, we are going to patrol the streets!"
"Yes, otherwise our salary will be deducted!"
Su Qian turned her head and looked at Xu Qing again and said, "I heard it just now."
Xu Qing immediately said: "Those are all jokes, listen to my excuses...listen to my explanation..."
On the street, Xu Qing argued for a long time, and finally made Su Qian look at Xu Qing normally again.
In the eyes of literati and poets, going to a brothel is an elegant thing.
In Su Qian's eyes, going to a brothel seemed like something unforgivable.
The way Su Qian looked at Xu Qing just now was like looking at a perverted thief...
Going to a brothel to spend money is a consensual transaction between you and me, and you are not going to rape some decent woman. Is this what Su Qian is doing?
Well, women in this world naturally believe that women should be as pure as jade and keep themselves clean.
Maybe a woman like Su Qian not only thinks that women should do this, but maybe everyone should do this.
Su Qian walked on the street and looked at Xu Qing and said, "Is the bookstore going well?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Everything went smoothly."
Su Qian nodded and said, "That's good."
Xu family
Xu Yun looked at Xu Shen and said in disbelief: "Brother, you actually want to marry Su Qian, a woman who doesn't learn to be a prostitute and only knows how to wield swords and guns?! What's so good about her?!"
Xu Shen pursed her lips and said, "Miss Su, she is... pretty..."
