Chapter 88

According to the clues provided by "Secret Files of Important Figures in Huaxia Kingdom", Sun Xuecai collected about 3 campus novels.

Sun Xuecai is a well-known collector in Tianhai City. Liu Xing searched on the Internet and quickly found his personal information.

Judging from the information on the Internet, Sun Xuecai is still alive and currently lives in the Luye Community in the eastern suburbs of Tianhai City.

In the afternoon, after taking a taxi, Liu Xing went straight to the Luye Community. After several inquiries, he finally found Sun Xuecai's residence and met Sun Xuecai himself.

At this time, Sun Xuecai was over eighty years old, and the old man looked kind and amiable. After Liu Xing explained his intention, he was invited to his home as a guest.

"Xiao Liu, how did you find me here?" Sun Xuecai asked curiously wearing a pair of reading glasses.

"You are always a famous collector of novels in Tianhai City. I have heard a lot about you." Liu Xing said, "It is said that you seem to have collected a lot of campus novels. I wonder if your collection is for sale?"

"You also like to collect campus novels?"

"Yes."

"That's right. Young people nowadays are becoming more and more impetuous. There are not many people who can really sink their hearts into reading campus novels, and even fewer people can collect campus novels." Sun Xuecai said with emotion, "However, You came more than ten years late. I did collect a lot of campus novels, but I sold them all ten years ago."

"Sold?" Liu Xing asked, "Sold to who?"

"Sold to Xiao Cai."

"Xiao Cai?"

"It's Cai Fugui, the owner of the Fugui Book Bar on Fiction Street." Sun Xuecai recalled, "18 years ago, Cai Fugui came to me to buy campus novels. At first, I was unwilling to sell, but Cai Fugui repeatedly asked and gave a The price is very high. The campus novels in my collection are basically ordinary novels. Cai Fugui is willing to buy them at a price of 100 yuan, and 3 copies are 300 million. At that time, something happened to me and I was short of money. So I sold 3 campus novels to Cai Fugui."

Liu Xing was a little surprised: "Why did Cai Fugui buy so many campus novels?"

"In order to train his eldest son Cai Zhijian."

Sun Xuecai explained, "In order to cultivate Cai Zhijian into a talent, Cai Fugui sent him to learn reading skills when he was six years old, and also let Cai Zhijian read a large number of campus novels to cultivate his interest in learning. Later, in the college entrance examination, Cai Zhijian's total score Ranked No.4 in Tianhai City, and was admitted to Tianhai University, it was a moment of glory!"

Liu Xing suddenly realized that Cai Zhijian was cultivated by reading campus novels.

"It's a pity that Cai Zhijian didn't live up to it. Later, he read some "Goddess Raiders Diary", lost his mind, and acted mischievously. He is now in jail."

Sun Xuecai frowned slightly, and said slowly, "I heard that Cai Fugui is now planning to train his youngest son, Cai Zhikang, but unfortunately, this kid is much worse than his brother. does not work."

Liu Xing was curious: "Mr. Sun, are there any three-star campus novels?"

"Three-star?" Sun Xuecai smiled and waved his hand, "I have read campus novels for decades, and I have only read two three-star campus novels in total, but both are banned books. One is about It is a deformed teacher-student relationship, and the other is about school violence, both of which are unhealthy novels. Apart from these two, there are no three-star school novels."

Thinking of something, Sun Xuecai said casually, "Cai Fugui came to me last year, and wanted to buy a three-star campus novel at a high price to raise his second son Cai Zhikang. Unfortunately, I don't have a three-star campus novel in my hand."

After talking here, Liu Xing basically understood the situation.

All of Sun Xuecai's 3 campus novels have fallen into the hands of Cai Fugui. These novels are basically ordinary novels, and most of them are already considered waste books.

If you want to buy this batch of campus novels, you can only find Cai Fugui.

In order to further confirm the situation, Liu Xing decided to check in Cai Fugui's book bar.

……

Twelve o'clock at night.

The Fugui Bookstore is closed, and in a dark corner, a black shadow leaps up, rushes up the wall of the building, and when it reaches a height of more than three meters, draws an arc in mid-air, Jump directly into the balcony on the second floor.

Sticking against the wall of the balcony, Liu Xing glanced into the room. At this time, Cai Fugui's home was pitch black, and there was no one in the hall.

With a movement of his feet, he swept forward, and with a whoosh, he passed through the living room like lightning, and quickly went downstairs along the corridor. After a few ups and downs, he reached the first floor.

After searching several times, I finally found the underground library of Fugui Book Bar.

The anti-theft door of the library is locked tightly, and it is impossible to enter.

Whoosh!
It turned into a black figure, left the first floor, and quickly went up the corridor. Not long after, Liu Xing came to the third floor.

When he arrived, he heard voices faintly. Liu Xing was hiding at the entrance of the corridor. Looking forward, he saw seven men sitting in the hall, one was Cai Fugui, the other was Jin Abiao. Five booksellers.

The five booksellers are the owners of the other five bookstores on Fiction Street, including Zhao Xingye, the owner of Qingxin Bookstore, Lin Zhong, the owner of Dream Bookstore, and so on.

These five bookstores are all carrying out price reduction promotions recently, and they are united with Fugui Bookstore to encircle and suppress the newly opened Meteor Bookstore.

Liu Xing had long suspected that there was something wrong with these six bookstores, but now it seemed that his guess was not wrong. The bosses of the six bookstores got together now, and it was obvious that they were plotting something wrong.

"The traffic flow of Meteor Book Bar has dropped by 11% in the past two days. According to the development of this situation, Meteor Book Bar will lose money in less than a month." Cai Fugui said quite satisfied, "The promotion of our six book bars The campaign appears to be working."

Lin Zhong, the owner of Dream Book Bar, said: "Based on this calculation, Meteor Book Bar will be unable to make ends meet within three months, and will definitely close down by then."

"Three months is too long, we can't wait so long." Jin Abiao reminded, "The Taoshu team will start searching next month, and we must let Meteor Books go bankrupt and close in one month. Only from Liu Xing Only by grabbing the search warrant of the Amoy Book Team in our hands can we find the library of the Money Book Club."

Cai Fugui agreed: "Director Jin is right, we must find a way to make Liu Xing bleed. The floating capital of Meteor Book Bar is estimated to be only 40. If we can find a way to get this money away, Liu Xing's Book Bar It's dead."

Jin Abiao frowned: "It's just that Liu Xing is not a fool, he must know the importance of liquidity, and it is impossible to use this money casually."

Lin Zhong said: "Didn't Liu Xing have mental problems before? I heard that last month, he was still preparing to jump off the building at the Yufeng Hotel. It seemed that he was trapped by love. I think Liu Xing's illness may not be cured, maybe we can try it." .”

Cai Fugui said: "Old Lin is right. Liu Xing is just lucky, and his brain is not very good. We can think of a way to see if we can bluff him and cheat him of some money?"

Lin Zhong thought of something and made a suggestion: "By the way, how about selling scrap books? Doesn't Liu Xing like to buy scrap books? Before, he came to my book bar to buy scrap books, but he thought my price was too high." High, so the acquisition failed. If we lower the price of the waste books now, Liu Xing is likely to be willing to acquire it, right?"

Cai Fugui pondered for a while, and said: "This idea seems feasible. Liu Xing does have a quirk of buying waste books. There are tens of thousands of waste books in my library. If Liu Xing is willing to spend money to buy them, he must use his books. The working capital, Meteor Book Bar will not be far from going bankrupt by then."

Jin Abiao added: "Liu Xing may not be so easy to be fooled. We need to lower the price of waste books appropriately so that he can be tempted."

"Director Jin is right." Lin Zhong agreed deeply. "The price of waste books can be lowered. Let's have a big sale of waste books to try to empty out the working capital of Meteor Book Bar. There are 12000 waste books in my library."

"I have more than 8000 copies." The owner of Qingxin Book Bar interjected.

"I have more than 4000 copies."

"I have more than 7000 copies."

……

The bosses of the six book bars expressed their views one after another. As long as the Meteor Book Bar can be closed down, they can sell the useless books to Liu Xing at a low price.

Hearing this news, Liu Xing, who was hiding at the entrance of the corridor, was secretly happy. This was undoubtedly good news for him and saved him a lot of trouble.

Since the owners of the six bookstores want to sell the useless books, Liu Xing is naturally willing to take over. The only problem he needs to solve now is funding.

After understanding the situation, Liu Xing left Fugui Bookstore and returned to Meteor Bookstore.

……

The next morning.

On the carpet in the reading room, Liu Xing sat quietly, concentrating on reading "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In the past half a month or so, he has spent some time reading this novel every day, but the matching degree of the novel has not increased significantly.

His reading skills hit a wall.

The reading technique that Liu Xing uses now is the "Reading Method in the Same Situation and Different Situations" created by Duan Feng. Although this set of techniques is very subtle, it is not complete.

When the matching rate of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" soared to 80%, the rate of improvement became slower and slower.

Two hours later, Liu Xing put down the novel and flipped through it casually.

[Book Title] "Legend of the Condor Heroes"

【Type】Martial arts novel

【Grade】Five-star
[Matching degree] 82.4%
"The improvement in matching is smaller than it was yesterday."

Liu Xing thought to himself, this set of skills is a semi-finished product of Duan Feng 40 years ago, and it is difficult to get absorbed in it by relying on the current incomplete reading skills.

In order to continue to improve the matching degree, it seems that the "Reading Method in the Same Situation and Different Situations" needs to be completed.

If you want to perfect this set of reading methods, you need to meet two conditions: first, have excellent imagination; second, have relevant novel theory.

Liu Xing's imagination fully meets the conditions, but what is lacking is the theoretical knowledge related to this set of reading methods.For example, the plot rhythm in the plot flow.

The so-called plot rhythm refers to the law of plot changes.The plot of a novel, like everything in nature, has its inherent laws.Only by mastering the rhythm of the plot can we successfully complete the transformation of the situation in the method of reading in the same situation and different situation.

In the past half month, Liu Xing has started to learn about plot rhythm.When he helped Wang Lanlan revise "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man", he was learning the rhythm of the plot, because mystery novels are typical plot flow novels.

After more than ten days of study, Liu Xing has benefited a lot, but more exploration is still needed to perfect the reading method in the same situation.

"Ding-boom-"

At this moment, the doorbell of the reading room rang. Liu Xing stood up and opened the door, only to see a waitress from the book bar standing at the door.

"Mr. Liu, Boss Cai from Fugui Book Bar is looking for you."
