Chapter 69
"Sister, who is coming to the book bar to apply for a job?"

"Lu Yuxin, the general manager of the Lu Family Wine Group."

"Lu Yuxin came to apply for the job? Are you kidding me?"

"Really." Liu Shiming pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile, "You will find out when you go downstairs and have a look. Lu Yuxin is looking for you."

Liu Xing originally thought that his sister was teasing him, but when he came to the first floor of the book bar, he found a young woman in a white uniform standing in the hall, her elegant figure was a little familiar, but upon closer inspection, she was actually Lu Yu Xin, at this time she is wandering around in the book bar, looking around, looking around.

"Mr. Lu, you are really free, why come to me when you have time?" Liu Xing stepped forward, "I heard that you are here to apply for the job?"

Lu Yuxin smiled slightly: "Yes, I just don't know if there is any suitable position for me in your book bar."

Liu Xing looked Lu Yuxin up and down, and said seriously: "With your slender figure, if you are used as the welcoming lady of the book bar, you should be able to attract a lot of traffic. How about 5000 yuan a month? Appropriate, I accept you."

"Add four zeros after that, I can think about it."

"It seems that you are not very expensive."

"You have a serious tone!" Lu Yuxin smiled and said again, "I'm not joking, I'm here to return the book today." After finishing speaking, she took out a novel "The Sleeping King" from her white bag. "Wang", handed it over, "I have finished reading this book, the effect is not bad, and the insomnia has improved a lot."

"It has improved a lot? The implication is that it has not been completely cured?"

"There are a lot of annoying things recently, how can insomnia be cured so easily?" Lu Yuxin sighed softly, a trace of helplessness flashed across her delicate face.

"You don't lack food, you don't lack clothes, and you are worth tens of millions, so what troubles do you have?" Liu Xing felt strange.

"The company's affairs are not annoying, but family affairs." Lu Yuxin said, "Last month, a batch of green bamboo wooden coffins were unearthed in Ningyu County. This kind of wooden coffins can only be made by Lu Shide, the ancestor of our Lu family. Come out, these green bamboo and wooden coffins are naturally owned by Lu Shide's descendants. It's just that the Lu family has a total of 37 generations of descendants from the Southern Dynasty to the present, and I count it as the 38th generation. The entire Lu family has tens of thousands of people scattered all over the country Now, in order to get this batch of green bamboo and wooden coffins, these people abuse each other, thinking that they are the authentic descendants of Lu Shide, but instead say that I am an outsider. Seeing people from a big family vying for each other and attacking each other... Oh, it's so annoying!"

Liu Xing was puzzled: "Who is Lu Shide's descendant, is it still unclear?"

"It was clear at first, but since the "Lu Family Tree" disappeared, some things have become unclear."

""Lu's Family Tree"?" As soon as she said it, Liu Xing remembered that there were more than 300 stolen goods stolen by Tian Xiaoyi in the secret room under the book bar, and one of the ancient books was "Lu's Family Tree".

"How did "Lu's Family Tree" get lost?" Liu Xing was curious.

"It was stolen more than 40 years ago." Lu Yuxin said, "My grandfather told me that there was a major theft in the Lu family 40 years ago. This time the theft seems to be the work of the Tian family. And our Lu family is a family of coffin craftsmen, one is a thief and the other is a thief. Over the past hundreds of years, the two families have had grievances and grievances. Perhaps out of revenge, the Tian family stole the Lu family's treasures. Some family heirlooms, including this "Lu Family Tree."

Liu Xing suddenly realized, no wonder "Lu's Family Tree" is in Tian Xiaoyi's hands.

Tian Xiaoyi should be a descendant of the Tian family, a descendant of the tomb robber family.Tian Xiaoyi is only in his 30s, and the "Lu family tree" was lost more than 40 years ago. It can be seen that this family tree should be inherited by Tian Xiaoyi from the elders of the Tian family, and he did not steal it himself.

"Since the family tree is lost, it's useless for you to be anxious." Liu Xing enlightened, "If you don't see it, you don't take it to heart."

"How can it be so simple?" Lu Yuxin frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "The green bamboo and wooden coffins are the relics of our Lu family ancestors, and now they have been snatched away by others. I, a descendant of the Lu family, are too useless. I I called the police last month, but the police can't control me, I really don't know what to do?"

Seeing her sad face, Liu Xing knew that it was useless to say anything, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about something happy. The publishing house told me that the goods for "The Book Coffin Master" will be delivered this afternoon... "

Hearing this, Lu Yuxin's gloomy eyes lit up slightly: "Really? So, the novel will start selling soon?"

"Almost." Liu Xing said, "My book bar just opened these few days, and this "Master of the Book Coffin" is going to be sold in the book bar."

"Okay, when your bookstore will open, I'll see if I have time, so come over and support me."

"You don't need to join in the show, you are a dignified general manager, it is not appropriate for you to go to my small bookstore all the time."

"You can't say that, if you don't cheer for you, I have to cheer for my grandfather..."

While talking, at this time, a white truck drove to the entrance of Meteor Book Bar and stopped.

"Has the goods of "The Book Coffin Master" arrived?"

"Correct."

After finishing speaking, when Liu Xing walked out of the Meteor Book Bar, he saw four men jumping out of the truck parked at the door, wearing blue uniforms and very burly, all of them were bodyguards in charge of escorting "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin" .

"The Book Coffin Master" is a one-star tomb robbery novel. Since the number of this category is very rare, the price is relatively high, and the price of a book is 8000 yuan.

Today, the publishing house shipped 1000 books with a total value of 800 million.

It is precisely because of its high value that bodyguards are required to escort it to avoid accidents.

"Mr. Liu, 1000 copies of "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin" have arrived, please count them."

"Okay, let's move into the book first."

Four bodyguards lifted a black safe from the truck and carried it into the book bar.

1000 copies of "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin" were packed in this closed safe. Liu Xing opened the safe and looked at it. All the novels were fully packaged, and there was an anti-counterfeiting code from Huaxia Book Testing Center on the cover.

Liu Xing opened one of the pages, and found that the pages were special paper for star novels. He scanned them with a book eye, and found that there was no problem with the content.

In addition, there are also documents such as the "Certificate of the Right to Sell Star Novels" granted by the Reading Alliance and the letter of guarantee from the relevant person in charge of the Book Testing Center in the safe.

Liu Xing didn't have these files when he was selling ordinary novels.

Because star novels have a huge influence on people, they need a very strict review process if they want to be sold in the market.

Star novels are like medicines. After a new drug is produced, it needs to conduct multiple phases of clinical trials to determine whether the drug has side effects.If the side effects are too great, it is impossible to market them.If the side effects are under control, the new drug will be promoted step by step, first in designated hospitals, then in designated cities, then in designated provinces, and finally nationwide.

After such a set of procedures, the time it takes for a new drug to be fully marketed ranges from several months to several years.

The listing process of a star-rated novel is very similar. After a star-rated novel is created, the Reading Alliance will conduct clinical trial readings on a small scale to test the influence and side effects of the novel.If the side effects of star novels are within the controllable range, they will be promoted to the market step by step, and fixed-point quantitative sales will be carried out, from the district level, to the city level, to the provincial level, and finally to the whole country.

If there is a problem in any of the steps, the sale of Star Novels will be stopped immediately.

For example, when "Goddess Raiders Diary" was sold at the municipal and provincial levels, there were no problems, but when it was promoted to the whole country, many sexual assault cases suddenly appeared, and the Reading Union immediately banned the distribution of this novel.

Therefore, the promotion period of star novels is generally very long, and some novels cannot be released to the market for several years, and some novels of special categories may never be released.

However, the situation of the novel "The Master of the Coffin" is quite special.

Although it is a tomb robbery novel, what it tells is the story of the book coffin maker who guards against theft.To put it simply, this is a tomb-robbing novel that popularizes anti-theft knowledge.

Because its novel has a very positive intention and is not likely to have a negative impact on society, the review process for "The Book Coffin Master" was shortened.

It took just over a month for "The Master of Book Coffin" to be listed in Tianhai City, and the number of copies was as high as 1000, which is very rare.

Generally, it takes at least half a year for a star novel to be released at the city level for the first time, and the circulation will not exceed 100 copies.

"Boss Liu, if there is no problem with the novel, please sign it with your name."

"Ok."

After signing for receipt, the staff in charge of delivery left.

"I didn't expect the novel to be on the market so soon." Looking at the books in front of her, Lu Yuxin said, "Liu Xing, you have to sell me a copy of "The Great Craftsman of the Book Coffin". I want to be my grandfather's novel." first buyer of

"A book costs 8000 yuan."

"no discount?"

"This is your filial piety, how can you give a discount? Besides, Tianhai City is the only fixed-point distribution city, and only 1000 copies are issued nationwide. It is considered kind of me not to raise the price..."

Before I finished speaking, at this time, seven or eight people suddenly rushed into the book bar. These people were all old men in their 60s. Liu Xing could tell at a glance that they were all collectors in the novel street and liked to collect. Various novels.

"Xiao Liu, is "The Master of Book Coffin" here?" An old man wearing reading glasses stepped forward with a cane and asked with concern.

Liu Xing said with a smile: "Master, your actions are really fast! The goods have only arrived for a few minutes, and you are here."

"It's really here? Hurry up and give me a copy!"

"I want one too!"

……

A few old men rushed forward, and after a while, a few more customers rushed in, and they seemed to have got the news.

Seeing more and more customers in the store, Liu Shiming frowned, and hurriedly told Liu Xing quietly: "Ah Xing, Professor Hu An and Dr. Zhao Cong confessed that this "Master of the Book Coffin" was given to them. Keep one copy for each person. By the way, Professor Sun Yi also wants one copy, so remember not to sell it out.”

"Oh."
