"Just..." Song Tai paused for a moment and said, "If this book "The Legend of Shushan" only has one volume, once it is printed and distributed, my bookstore will be smashed by the scholars outside the door."
Luo Xin laughed in silence and took out two books from his arms. These two books were written by him at home in the past five days. Although Luo Xin did not expect that the first volume of "The Legend of Shushan" would really sell for fifty taels, he thought that his books should be able to impress the scholars of Jinyang Mansion and the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Bookstore, so he wrote another 100,000 words at home and divided them into two volumes.
Seeing the two books placed in front of him, Manager Song's eyes lit up. He hurriedly picked up one and read it. It took a quarter of an hour to see it. He was still watching it, and had forgotten Luo Xin and Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu and Luo Xin looked at each other and smiled. Luo Xin called softly:
"Brother Song! Brother Song!"
Song Tai woke up suddenly. Seeing Luo Xin and Zhou Yu smiling at him, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly put down his book and said:
"It's a rude thing for my brother! But this is also because Brother Luo's writing is too attractive."
"Brother Song, I'll send you the first book to you next time I come." Luo Xin said with a faint smile.
"Then I'll thank you!" Song Tai bowed, and Ranhou said again: "Young Master Luo, I will buy these two books at the price of fifty taels of silver per volume. How about I buy each of the books at the same price in the future?"
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This book has about five million words, and each volume is about fifty thousand words, so there are about one hundred volumes. And fifty taels of silver is just the price of the first volume."
Zhou Yu secretly grabbed the Yahuazi next to him. This brother Xin was really cruel. He thought he couldn't sell it for fifty taels of silver, but now he still had to increase the price.
But... Is it really good for us scholars to be so petty?
Zhou Yu was competing with him, and at the same time he didn't understand Luo Xin's actions. He always felt that scholars should not care about stinky things like this, and it was a bit embarrassing. At this time, his skin was a little red. But Luo Xin looked indifferent.
Seeing the indifferent expression on Luo Xin's face, Song Tai looked at Luo Xin a little more. As a businessman, he was disdainful of the so-called aloofness of scholars. However, a prodigy like Luo Xin could sit here and negotiate prices with him calmly, which made Song Tai, an old businessman, feel a little nervous. However, when he heard that this book "The Legend of Shushan" could be written for five million words, he was more excited and excited. With the attractiveness of the current book, the plot would be completely unfolded, which would only be more attractive. However, this set of "The Legend of Shushan" became rich.
"Why is Mr. Luo's price suitable?"
"One hundred taels per volume." Luo Xin said lightly.
"One hundred taels?" Zhou Yu's heart tugged at the same time and said to himself: "This has doubled. Brother Xin, you are really a lion, how could Manager Song agree?"
However, when he looked at Manager Song, he found that Manager Song had no surprise or anger on his face, but thought for a moment:
"How about eighty taels?"
Zhou Yu's expression was stunned. He originally thought that Song Tai would refuse and even took back the fifty taels of silver from before and no longer bought the first book. However, he did not expect that Song Tai would be willing to counterattack. He did not expect that Luo Xin nodded very frivolously and said:
"Okay, eighty taels are eighty taels, but this is only the price from the second volume to the tenth volume. We will discuss the books after the eleventh volume."
A wry smile appeared on Song Tai's face. He had just read the second volume for a quarter of an hour, and the plot had begun to unfold a little, making it even more attractive. He knew that if he waited until the eleventh volume to discuss the price, each volume would definitely not be one hundred taels, and the money spent on getting all the books would definitely be much higher than that of one hundred taels per volume.
In fact, Luo Xin wanted to share the money with the Zhuangyuan Bookstore, so that he would definitely make more money. But on the one hand, Luo Xin did not want to get involved in this matter. He took the pen name Huang Shiweng but did not want to expose his identity. Once the money was divided, his identity might be exposed. He was determined to go to the scientific and political career, but he did not want to leave this flaw to become a means for Yan Song or Xu Jie to attack him. On the other hand, he could not grasp how much the Zhuangyuan Bookstore would sell. At that time, would he still say that it would be as much as it would? He didn't want to expose his identity. Could he still argue with the other party in the future?
Then your reputation will be really ruined!
Not only will he be attacked for not reading sages, but he will also be criticized for being slandered. So Luo Xin did not propose to share the money, but just proposed to sell it to the other party at once.
But Song Tai doesn't think much!
In the Ming Dynasty, due to the underdeveloped printing and papermaking, the price of books was very high, so the profit was also very large. Such attractive long works can be imagined, and with the release of each volume, more and more people will definitely buy them, and the profits will become larger and larger.
So he didn't want to take the share of Luo Xin in his heart, as that would allow Luo Xin to make huge profits. So he talked to Luo Xin to buy the book at once. However, he didn't expect Luo Xin to give him such a price. How could he agree to negotiate the price in the eleventh volume?
When he looked at Luo Xin again, he was no longer a matter of importance. He completely forgot about Luo Xin's identity as a scholar. Instead, he regarded him as a businessman who could be as good as himself, and he did not look down on him at all.
Yes, it's just despising!
In his opinion, those scholars who do business are stupid and have a lot of money, value reputation, and regard money as dirt. They are making money all the money. However, today he saw Luo Xin, who is full of traps in Yu Tanran, and let him understand what he could think of, and Luo Xin also thought of it. But he didn't understand why he didn't propose sharing since Luo Xin could think of so much?
Of course, if Luo Xin didn't mention it, he wouldn't mention it either. He was just wondering whether he agreed to the price of 100 taels per volume. It is certain that he would make a lot of money if he agreed to this price. The Zhuangyuan Bookstore is everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. How many scholars were there in the Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, the "Book of Shushan" is different from the Four Books and Five Classics. Those books are only purchased by scholars who are determined to seek fame and fortune. However, there were still many scholars who were hopeless to seek fame and fortune. They would not read the Four Books and Five Classics again, but they would come to buy the Book of Shushan. Moreover, when the Zhuangyuan Bookstore sold the "Book of Shushan" for a book, it would definitely not cost 50 taels of silver for a volume. It would be relatively cheap and would make many people afford it. As the number of people increased, the profit would naturally increase. If Luo Xin gave a hundred taels of 1 volume, they would earn more than a thousand taels?
