"Is there a problem?" Tangning stood up and said, "If there is a problem, I will find another company."
He didn't look at the shopkeeper of Songzhuzhai anymore and walked out the door without hesitation.
"Wait a minute!" Shopkeeper Peng's expression changed and he hurriedly called him.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Twenty taels, a roll of twenty taels, it can't be higher..."
In these ten days, he has already seen the true value of "The West Chamber". If it can be operated exclusively and printed as soon as possible, he will definitely make a lot of money. If he misses this good opportunity, he is afraid that it will only
Make others cheaper.
Naturally, he would not just watch such an opportunity slip away from him.
Tangning didn't stop, but moved faster.
Shopkeeper Peng hurriedly chased him out and said, "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again, we can discuss it again!"
Tang Ning looked back at him and repeated: "I'll take six of the profits from the printing, and you'll take four. If the shop owner finds it unacceptable, I'll look for someone else."
Shopkeeper Peng gritted his teeth, unable to make a decision.
A middle-aged man walked out of the bookstore opposite and said in surprise: "Old Peng, what are you doing?"
Shopkeeper Peng glanced at the shopkeeper in the opposite shop and said in a low voice: "Master Li, come in and talk."
He and Tang Ning walked into Songzhu Restaurant and told the waiter: "Close the door."
He then turned to look at Tang Ning and said, "Mr. Li, your request is really excessive. In our industry, there has never been anything like this."
Tang Ning handed him the other volume he had written and said, "You can print these two volumes first and see the effect, and then we can discuss it."
"Five days." After taking it, shopkeeper Peng said, "Give me five days, and the first batch will be printed. Please also ask Mr. Li to leave your address. Then Mr. Peng will visit you personally."
"No need." Tangning waved her hand and said, "I will come find you when the time comes."
After thinking for a while, Shopkeeper Peng nodded and said, "Then it's settled."
Tang Ning walked out of Songzhu Zhai, walked to a remote alley, and changed out of her cloak.
Dividing according to the accounts is naturally not as convenient as buying out directly, but it can maximize profits.
He doesn't have to worry about what the shopkeeper will do with the accounts. These accounts are not only related to themselves, but also closely related to the court's tax revenue. Every once in a while, the government will have someone to check the accounts. Big businessmen with no background dare not
What kind of manipulation was done in the accounts?
When he was about to return to Hongxiu Pavilion, several figures walked up to him.
"Okay, okay!"
"Have mercy on us..."
"Brother, we haven't eaten for several days..."
…
Tangning looked at the few beggars in front of her, took out a piece of silver from her waist, thought about it, turned and walked towards the street.
When the few beggars saw this, the bright look in their eyes dimmed again.
"Wait a minute." When they turned to leave, a voice came from behind.
Tang Ning was holding a basket full of steamed buns. She looked at them and said, "Take them and share them."
After several beggars were stunned for a moment, they rushed over one after another.
They grabbed the buns and chewed them. Tangning smiled, put the basket down, and turned around to leave.
If you give them money, they may be robbed by the older beggars, so it is better to buy them some steamed buns, at least now they can fill their stomachs.
I don’t know when Liu Laoer and the others will come over. Although the capital is prosperous, there are obviously many more beggars on the streets than in Lingzhou.
When Tang Ning first came to this world, his situation was not much better than theirs. If it hadn't been for that cabbage bun and if it hadn't been thrown away by Fairy Tang, he wouldn't be anywhere now...
The little beggars had obviously been hungry for a long time. They were swallowing the buns with big mouthfuls. The expressions on their faces were a little anxious, as if they were afraid of something.
Not long after, several tall figures came towards us.
A tall beggar looked at them and asked: "Have you got any money? Who asked you to buy buns?"
The older beggar immediately said: "No, no, we didn't get any money. It was a bun given to us by a big brother..."
The beggar kicked him hard and said angrily: "Why are you standing here without asking for money? Go quickly. If you still can't ask for money today, I will break your legs!"
The little beggars got up in a hurry and rushed to the crowded streets.
The two beggars cursed a few words and turned to leave.
The waiter from the bun shop walked out of the shop, saw this scene, and shook his head. Just when he was about to take the basket back, a small figure quickly rushed out from the dark alley on the side and picked up the basket.
Hitting the last bun, he quickly rushed into the dark alley.
In Songzhuzhai, shopkeeper Peng picked up the second volume of "The Romance of the West Chamber" and ordered a waiter: "Have someone hurry up and copy this copy several times..."
Not long after, he took a copy, returned home, handed it to his daughter while eating, and said: "Xiao He, this is the second volume of The Romance of the West Chamber. You read it first. By the way, yours
The birthday is coming soon, and dad plans to hold a banquet at home. When the time comes, you can invite more friends over..."
…
Ever since Tang Ning came to the capital, there has been no peace. Various things happened one after another. He had fought with dandies, been in jail, and even entered the palace. However, after Tang Ning came to the capital, his life seemed to have suddenly returned to peace.
The main reason is that since she came to the capital, he has been staying in Hongxiu Pavilion and has not gone out much.
Xiao Jue came every day, and the prescription seemed to be very useful to him. However, Xiao Jue was obviously not satisfied and still obsessed with his kidney-strengthening technique. Tang Ning mentioned in the letter to Xiao Yi that his room would be transferred to him when the time came.
The secret books collected inside are also brought with me.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. After washing up early in the morning, he went downstairs to have breakfast and heard the girls in the pavilion talking quietly.
"That Zhang Sheng is too frivolous!"
"There is nothing frivolous about the love between a husband and a concubine. Mrs. Cui is the bad guy. She breaks her word and beats the couple with a stick..."
"I don't know when the third volume will be released. I've been waiting for two days..."
"Who is this talented man Li Qing? I have never heard of him before. I really hope he writes it soon..."
…
Tang Ning listened to the girls' discussion. Although she had some objections, judging from their conversations, she was still attracted by the plot. The sales of the book should not be too bad.
After all, in another world with the same background, this was also a famous bestseller. He planned to go to Songzhuzhai after breakfast.
He put on his cloak and when he walked to the entrance of Songzhuzhai, he saw two long queues outside the bookshop.
On the left are young men, and on the right are women. The length of the women's team is several times longer than that of the men. If you look closely, you will find that many of them are dressed as maids.
"Only two volumes have been released. I don't know when the third volume will be released..."
"Is there anyone who knows Li Qing? Can you go to his house to urge me?"
"The critical moment is over. Do you know where Li Qing lives? I'll go to his house to deliver something."
While the crowd was talking, Tang Ning walked towards the pavilion.
"What are you doing? Haven't you seen so many people lining up? Are you polite?"
"It's great to wear a cloak. Can you jump in line just by wearing a cloak?"
"Hey, what about you, wait in line!"
He had only taken two steps when a dissatisfied voice came from behind him.
Shopkeeper Peng ran out of the shop, his face glowing red, and he said hurriedly: "Young Master is here, please come in quickly, please come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
Tangning walked into the store, looked at him, and asked, "How is it? The sales are pretty good, right?"
"It's not bad, it's sold like crazy!" Shopkeeper Peng looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "These people outside are all here to buy "The Romance of the West Chamber"."
Tangning nodded and asked, "Can Songzhuzhai still print the next few volumes?"
"Yes! Of course I can!" Shopkeeper Peng said decisively without any hesitation.
The business of printing books is just for quick success. Even if their "West Chamber" is selling so well now, in three to five days, pirated copies will appear on the market. Get the first-hand content and seize the opportunity in these three to five days.
Only those who are lucky can eat meat, while others can only follow them and drink soup.
Long before it was published, he had already made a name for himself with The West Chamber. For the past two days, there was a long queue at the door of the bookstore, which lasted until night. This "The West Chamber" alone was enough for him to earn a lot of money.
He rolled his eyes and looked at Tang Ning again, why: "It's just that printing requires a lot of effort and money. If it costs 40 or 6 cents, the shop can't actually make much profit. How about we open it at 50 to 50 cents?"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "'The West Chamber' is just one of them. There will be several more to come. I have to consider whether to cooperate with Shopkeeper Peng..."
"What are you still thinking about?" Shopkeeper Peng patted his chest and said, "Four or six points, six for you and four for me, that's settled!"
