In the front hall, three men were chatting with each other.
Chen Sanli, the shopkeeper of Juwentang, said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ma, every examination collection is printed by my Juwentang. Of course this dictionary will not be left out."
Shopkeeper Ma said with a sad face: "Shopkeeper Chen is very powerful, but I don't know what I can do. I'm just here to get acquainted with you. Maybe I can have some friendship with Xing and Uncle in the future."
Qian Qiang, the owner of another bookstore, said with a smile: "You two are famous big booksellers in Jinling City. I can't compare with you. I just want to meet Mr. Bota and brag about it to my wife and children when I get home." ."
Chen Sanli said proudly: "I have some friendship with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. If they can't print it, they will probably find Juwentang for help"
Just as Chen Sanli was talking happily, he saw the other two people getting up and looking outside, and hurriedly turned around to look.
"I've met my uncle."
"Please take a seat."
Fang Xing sat down on the main seat and said expressionlessly: "Yesterday Fang Shiyi said that you didn't have enough craftsmen to take over my uncle's business. Why are you here again today?"
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Since Fang Xing came forward in person, he intended to hand over the business to one of the three families, but his words unceremoniously tore the fig leaf off the faces of the three of them.
This is not a cooperative attitude!
The three of them were inevitably a little embarrassed. Chen Sanli coughed dryly and said, "The younger one drank too much yesterday and misremembered the number of craftsmen. Please forgive me."
Fang Xing nodded, glanced at the other two and said, "Uncle Ben has decided to use movable type this time, and the paper will be as cheap as possible. Are you willing to take the next step?"
Movable type?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
You are Xinghe Bo! It's so embarrassing that he actually chooses movable type!
Engraving books is a sacred thing. Anyone who can choose rigid type will not choose movable type.
The reason is also very simple: things printed with movable type look dull and boring, they are just words, without any sense of beauty.
Chen Sanli squeezed out a smile and said, "Uncle, there are only three booksellers in Jinling City, the largest among them. I wonder how many dictionaries I plan to print?"
"50,000 copies in advance, follow-up will depend on the situation."
Fang Xing is still confident about this dictionary. The first reason is because he tried his best to reduce various costs and used movable type and the cheapest paper.
The second is that he compressed the 3,000 words of redundant explanations, especially the explanations that were useless to ordinary people, and deleted all the explanations, and added the explanations of alchemy, but the length was still reduced.
The third thing is the matter of hot air balloons going up to the sky and drawing thunder and lightning to the ground. Of these two things, the first one has spread all over the country, and the second thing is believed to be spread soon.
With these three advantages, Fang Xing believes that this Fangxue dictionary will definitely be popular in the Ming Dynasty.
"Fifty thousand copies!"
Fifty thousand copies is indeed a large printing volume, but Fang Xing kept the cost too low.
Like all business models, the gross profit margin of high-end goods is always astonishingly high, while low-end goods can only make small profits but quick turnover.
Chen Sanli thought for a while: "Uncle, if it's 50,000 copies, no other company in Jinling City, except Juwentang, can take over this business alone"
There was confidence and a faint sense of superiority in these words, implying to Fang Xing: You have no other choice but to cooperate with me, Chen Sanli, so let¡¯s talk about the terms.
"Where are you two?"
Fang Xing ignored Chen Sanli and asked shopkeeper Ma and Qian Qiang.
Shopkeeper Ma and Qian Qiang looked at each other and said with some anxiety: "Uncle, I really can't take on this business alone."
Fang Xing¡¯s business volume is large, but the profits will probably be compressed to a very low level.
After taking over this business, most of the time and energy were spent on it, and it was difficult to take on other lucrative businesses.
It¡¯s not cost-effective!
Seeing that the three of them were hesitating, Fang Xing picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Just as he was about to drive people away, Xiaodao came in and said, "Sir, Lord Shang of the Ministry of War is here."
Shang Yun? What is he here for?
"Invite him in."
Shang Yun still had a smile on his face. As soon as he came in, he bowed and said: "Uncle Xinghe, I have been ordered to come here."
Chen Sanli and others quickly stood up and stood to the side. If Fang Xing was being polite when he received them, then after Shang Yun arrived, an honorable relative,An official, their seat is no longer available here.
"Uncle Xinghe, Master Shangshu ordered his subordinates to come here. He wants to hand over the Fangxue Dictionary and have it printed by our Ministry of War."
Shang Yun glanced at Chen Sanli and others and said with a smile.
Fang Xing felt something in his heart. Ever since he treated Jin Zhong, the two of them had never been in contact again. He thought that this would be the case for everyone in the future, but he didn't expect that Jin Zhong understood his predicament clearly and directly helped.
Shopkeeper Ma and Qian Qiang were stunned when they heard the news.
The Ministry of War has intervened in this matter, so their hesitation just now seems extremely ridiculous.
Only Chen Sanli, who knew the situation in the printing industry in Jinling very well, knew that the Ministry of War would definitely have enough to eat.
"The most powerful person in Jinling City is the Supervisor of Rites, and below him is the Ministry of Rites. How dare the Ministry of War dare to take on the business of 50,000 copies of the meager things they print every year?"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Is Mr. Jin's health okay?"
"Okay, my lord, your body is getting stronger and stronger. You can climb up the stairs even better than you can climb down the official ladder."
Shang Yun said with a smile: "Uncle Xinghe, Your Majesty said that the Ministry of War is short of craftsmen, but he is sure that he can borrow some people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to ensure that the printing of the dictionary will not be delayed."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Thank you Lord Jin for your righteousness, this matter is feasible."
Chen Sanli was dumbfounded when he heard that you are actually engaging in departmental union!
Although the profit of this business is low, it is eye-catching. Once accepted, the advertising effect will be much more powerful than printing explanations and explanations.
Chen Sanli gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I am willing to take over this business without making any money."
"Who is this person? How rude!"
Shang Yun frowned and asked Huang Zhong.
This is asking knowingly! Huang Zhong smiled and said: "This man is the shopkeeper of Juwentang. Yesterday he refused to print dictionaries, but today he is willing to accept it without making any money, which makes me a little confused."
Shang Yun's smiling face disappeared, and he said coldly: "Xinghe Bo is both civilized and martial, what crime should you be punished for if you dare to slack off on his old man's affairs!"
To be honest, it was inappropriate for Shang Yun to vent his anger on Fang Xing, and it was even a bit overwhelming.
But Fang Xing just looked outside expressionlessly, thinking about Shang Yun's intentions in his heart.
Shang Yun has interacted with Fang Xing many times. In the past, they always had a slippery style, neither close nor distant.
??This kind of veteran suddenly changed his attitude and style of painting, so he must have some calculation.
"The little one is guilty"
Chen Sanli was filled with regret. He originally wanted to take advantage of Juwentang's largest scale and gain the upper hand in the late bargaining process, but he didn't expect that the old man from the Ministry of War suddenly intervened.
Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong! How come you didn't die of illness last time?
After Shang Yun turned around, the smiling face came back naturally and seamlessly. Huang Zhong was used to seeing this kind of face-changing stunt in Suzhou Prefecture, but Fang Xing felt that Shang Yun's acting skills were so superb that no veteran actor could match them.
"Uncle Xinghe, I was filled with righteous indignation and acted presumptuously. Please forgive me."
Fang Xing looked at the friendly smiling face and said noncommittally: "Bolu, send these three people back."
¡°Uncle, I¡¯m willing to accept the loss even if I do it!¡±
Chen Sanli thought of the disadvantages of losing this business and cried out heartbroken.
Huang Zhong said coldly: "Don't disturb me, please."
Xiaodao snorted coldly outside, and then Chen Sanli and others left the front hall filled with regret.
What a great publicity opportunity! But why am I so obsessed with making more money! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
