Chapter 66 Gongsun Di Picking Peach

"To have this bookstore is indeed a blessing to Qian Nation."

Gongsun Di nodded slightly. Recently, Ying Wuji has been making a lot of noise in Li Guo. The business of the bookstore has already reached Ying Yue's ears, but he has not commented on this matter.

Naturally, Ying Wuque did not take the initiative to mention this matter, but contacted Gongsun Di in private, asking him to recommend himself as the envoy of the Qian Kingdom to attend the Hundred Families Festival, and it was tacit understanding to take over the business seal of the embassy.

After all, the business of the bookstore will not be small in the future, and it would be a bit of a waste to put it in the hands of Ying Wuji, a proton with a bleak future.

In addition, Qianguo now has two sons, although Ying Wuque has shown a crushing posture, there are still some disputes in the court.

These controversies are not conducive to the development of the country and should be suppressed as soon as possible.What's more, the strategy of Gan Country's agricultural war has been proven to be correct. The efforts of just a few generations have given this once barbaric country the hope of going east. As long as it continues to go on firmly, Qian Country will definitely become The strongest vassal state, and even replaced Zhou Tianzi.

The bookstore is doing very well, but it is not worth mentioning in front of Qianguo's EMI national policy.

So there is absolutely no reason to keep the bookstore in Ying Wuji's hands.

Gongsun Di looked at Xun Zhiyin: "How is the current situation of the bookstore, and how much profit is expected to be made in a year?"

Xun Zhiyin quickly took out an account book from his pocket: "The envoy! This is the account book I ordered someone to copy. The average price of the books in the bookstore is 150 renminbi. After deducting the cost and the tax paid to Li Guo, you should be able to earn 3000 renminbi. Half of it is kept by the shop owner, and the other half should be handed over to the embassy. It’s not just the end of the month, so I calculated that tomorrow the bookstore has to hand over at least [-] taels.”

"so much!"

Gongsun Di was a little surprised. He knew that the bookstore was doing well, but he didn't expect to be able to hand over so much money.

How can a book of three hundred articles have such a large profit margin?
But he still frowned slightly: "Why is this account book a transcript? Could it be that the bookstore is not under your control?"

Xun Zhiyin hurriedly said: "Young Master Wuji is too stubborn and unwilling to be under the control of subordinate officials, so he is very repulsed by subordinate officials to intervene. But the envoy, don't worry, I will go to the government office to complete the handover tomorrow, and then I will go to the bookstore with the business seal , presumably Young Master Wuji can’t say much.”

Gongsun Di frowned slightly: "Are you sure that the bookstore is in Ying Wuji's hands?"

Xun Zhiyin smiled and said, "Otherwise? Young Master Wuji has no reason to hand over his wealth and life to others."

"It's true!"

Gongsun Di nodded, feeling that his idea was indeed a bit bizarre, Ying Wuji even guarded against the embassy, ​​how could he not guard against Hua Chao?

He couldn't help laughing: "It's not easy for a mere bookstore to bring 4 taels of profit to Qianguo a year!"

"More than that!"

Gongsun Di raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Xun Zhiyin blushed, and added: "Your official knows the bookstore very well. It is true that this month it only made a profit of 6000 taels, but in fact it was because the channels were not opened. The envoy should have seen it too. Countless people have rushed to hundreds of stores in recent days. There are many booksellers in this grand event, and we should be able to sign a lot of orders based on today's situation. When the printing scale is expanded, our income will increase by at least five times."

"Five times!"

Gongsun Di's eyes lit up, five times!The benefit to Qianguo is 20 taels.

Even for a country, 20 taels is not a dispensable amount.

Xun Zhiyin lowered his voice and said: "Besides, this is still taken by the state. As the boss, Mr. Wuji can still get a considerable amount of money. Does the envoy feel a little too much..."

Hearing his slightly bewitching tone, Gongsun Di immediately understood what he was thinking.

20 taels is indeed a bit much for one person.

but……

He smiled and shook his head: "After all, this bookstore is the work of Mr. Wuji, and he deserves it no matter how much he gets! Mr. Wucai sent me here, and it was just to take over the business seal. There is no need to dig Mr. Wuji's back road.

Although the two sons have never met, they are also half brothers.What's more, Young Master Wuji has a talent for business. With him assisting Young Master Wuqiu, the two brothers work together for the country, which is a good story.

Mr. Xun has a heart of sincerity, and I will definitely let the young master know about it when I go back.However, although Mr. Xun's actions have kind thoughts in his heart, they still hurt the feelings of brothers. It is better to think about it before doing things in the future! "

"What the envoy taught me is!"

Xun Zhiyin was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said: "Young master is absolutely benevolent. If you know about it, you will definitely be moved!"

Gongsun Di glanced at the food on the table, smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Wuji won't come back, let's eat!"

"it is good!"

Xun Zhiyin said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will hand over the business seal with the envoy and take over the bookstore!"

Gongsun Di nodded slightly: "Okay!"

For a while, the embassy laughed at Yan Yan.

……

The next day.

The "True Mountain and Sea Tales" published by Zhen Lan Lingsheng came out, and the eight major bookstores spared no effort to publicize it everywhere. Although it is a little far away from the well-known level of Jiangcheng, the area where rich and noble people live has been bombed several times.

Especially booksellers from other places have received this news.

Moreover, the bookstore has also contacted them privately, saying that each book only sells 250 articles, and various statements of pros and cons, saying that the cultural desert of Qianguo is nothing but plagiarism, and even if plagiarism, it will only be short-lived.

In the long run, the Le Kingdom must last longer.

What he said was so eloquent, they almost believed it.

But unfortunately, they are booksellers after all, so they must know the basic market conditions, and everyone has a copy of Shangmo Bookstore's "Shanjiao Que Tan".

In terms of quality, to put it bluntly, it is much higher than the original version of "Mountain and Sea Tales"!

And the idea of ​​a flash in the pan... If Shangmo Bookstore only had one volume of "Shanjiao Deceit", it would be barely acceptable, but they also have "The Case of Guimei", this argument is not so convincing, after all, it is only used by others. It's closed, but it's not like it didn't exist.

Therefore, the various booksellers still decided to wait and see, one by one, they went to major bookstores and bought a copy of "True Tales of Mountains and Seas".

A quarter of an hour later, he dropped the book on the ground and spit out a mouthful of phlegm.

"What the hell are a few things!"

It was simply shoddy and rushed, and it was not at the same level as the first two volumes.

Also said that Shangmo Bookstore is shoddy?

Are you worthy?
As a result, a large number of booksellers flooded into the backyard of Shangmo Bookstore. Unless they could not get satisfactory orders here, they would definitely not consider Bada Bookstore.

Seeing so many people rushing over, Ying Wuji laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth almost split apart. After working so hard for so long, it's finally time to reap the rewards.

In a blink of an eye, the backyard was packed with booksellers who came from other places.

Just as I was about to have a meeting, I heard a rather high-pitched voice coming from the storefront.

"My lord, this is our bookstore!"

"Look at this business, how good it is..."

"Young Master Wuji should be discussing matters in the backyard, I will take you to see him!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xun Zhiyin rushing over with Gongsun Di.

Xun Zhiyin saluted respectfully: "My lord!"

Gongsun Di also smiled lightly and cupped his hands: "Gongsun Di has seen the young master."

Ying Wuji looked them up and down, and couldn't help showing a strange smile: "You two are welcome to be our guests, but I have business to talk about, so why not wait a while!"

Gongsun Di smiled and waved his hands: "Master, you are joking when you say 'being a guest'! Since we want to talk about serious business, let's talk about it together. After all, it is a major matter for us to do for the country, and you can't let your son bear it alone."

After finishing speaking, he graciously sat beside Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji: "..."

This little brother really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.
