Seeing Zhou Chong's impatient look, although Xie Lingyun was extremely scheming, she couldn't help but get angry. With the wealth of the Xie family and the rare beauty, she would be treated warmly wherever she went, but

Now that I came to Zhou’s mansion, Zhou Chong didn’t even give her a cup of tea. He is such a petty man!

Although Zhou Chong had already labeled "little care" in his heart, Xie Lingyun had long been used to controlling her emotions. She smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou is such a cheerful person. The little woman is here today. Actually, it's

I would like to discuss with Master Zhou, can I hand over Journey to the West to our Xie family for printing?”

"You Xie family?" Zhou Chong showed a very surprised expression. After a few words with Xie Lingyun in the teahouse last time, he had specifically inquired about Xie Lingyun's situation and had some understanding of the situation of the Xie family. If he hadn't remembered it, he had no idea.

If you are wrong, the Xie family made their fortune mainly through smuggling. Never heard of them actually running the printing of books?

Seeing Zhou Chong's surprised look, Xie Lingyun showed a faint smile and then said, "Young Master Zhou, don't be surprised. I just bought the largest printing workshop in Songjiang Mansion a few months ago, and all the craftsmen in it are left behind.

After that, our daily business is pretty good, and we also take over the printing business of several surrounding governments. If Mr. Zhou could hand over Journey to us to print, he would definitely be able to print it into a book in the shortest time, and we also have specialized

I can guarantee that the book Journey to the West will be sold through channels, and you will be famous all over the country at no more than three months!”

After Xie Lingyun said the above words, she stared at Zhou Chong with a smile. She knew very well about Zhou Chong and other scholars. For them, there was nothing more attractive than being famous. After all, as long as they had fame, they were in the imperial examination.

You can get a lot of advantage by taking advantage of it. According to the results of his own investigation, the young master Zhou in front of him was a very keen person in fame, so he would never refuse such a good thing!

Unfortunately, what was beyond Xie Lingyun's surprise was that after hearing her, Zhou Chong did not show any temptation. Instead, he looked at her with a very strange look, as if he was looking at a very rare animal.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been furious under Zhou Chong's insulting gaze, either slapping him or brushing his sleeves away. However, Xie Lingyun's concentration was extraordinary, and she seemed to have not noticed it at all.

Zhou Chong's eyes were as insulted as he was, and he still looked at Zhou Chong with a calm look.

Faced with this scheming lady of the Xie family, Zhou Chong had to lose the disadvantage. Finally, he finally said, "Miss Xie, I would like to ask, you should know the situation of our Zhou family?"

"Of course I know!" Xie Lingyun saw Zhou Chong defeating in the confrontation with her, and the smile on her face became a little deeper again, but her eyes were still calm and gentle, making people unable to guess what she was thinking.

"Ha~, so Miss Xie, you know, then I want to ask another question. What identity did you come to me, Mr. Zhou?" Zhou Chong showed a touch of playful expression on his face and asked again.

"Of course, he is a businessman!" Xie Lingyun said without hesitation. As the only heir of the Xie family, since she became sensible, she was trained by her father as the successor of the family business, so Xie Lingyun and Jianer were like this

The rich lady is completely different. Her ideas are more realistic than most people, and she does not think that doing business is shameful. This is very similar to Zhou Chong.

"Hahaha~, a businessman?" Zhou Chong suddenly raised his head and laughed. After a while, he stopped and said, "Since Miss Xie is a businessman, then just go to business. Don't talk to me about those false things. I just want to do it now.

I know, what benefits can I get if I hand over the manuscript of Journey to the West to your Xie family?"

Xie Lingyun's investigation is indeed very detailed, but unfortunately, what she is in front of her is not the original Zhou Chong, but a Zhou Chong who is more realistic than her. For him, the most important thing now is to earn the first amount of money and then let his family go.

Living a rich life, Zhou Chong didn't care what Xie Lingyun said about being famous all over the world.

Xie Lingyun never expected that Zhou Chong, who was obsessed with fame and fortune in the investigation, would directly raise money with her, and even mention it so righteously, which simply subverted her perception. Among the scholars Xie Lingyun had met,

He has always expressed an extremely contemptuous attitude towards money. Even if the other party is so poor, he will show disdain for money, as if he has taken money to defile their elegant sentiments.

However, Xie Lingyun then thought that when Zhou Chong was in the teahouse, she used such disgusting means to trick Mr. Song Er. She originally thought that Zhou Chong was so angry that she was dismissed by the Song family's divorce, so she ignored it.

That way, but it doesn't seem like that now. Zhou Chong is probably the most special scholar he has ever met!

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun showed a charming smile to Zhou Chong to hide her shock just now, and then immediately changed her strategy and said: "Mr. Zhou is indeed a straightforward person. Since you asked this, the little girl would not be

Let's go around again. Now the first ten chapters of Journey to the West have been circulated. Therefore, our Xie family will not pay the bills again in the first ten chapters, but from the eleventh chapter, our Xie family is willing to redeem the price of two taels of silver per chapter.

I wonder what Mr. Zhou thought?”

The ancients did not have any awareness of copyright. After the content of a book was circulated, they could be taken to publish it as long as others wanted. Therefore, in Xie Lingyun's opinion, the first ten chapters of Zhou Chong circulated were not required to be paid.

It is precisely because there is no copyright that as long as Xie Lingyun prints Journey to the West, there will definitely be other booksellers to reprint it in the future. Therefore, Xie Lingyun doesn't make much profit in Journey to the West, which also led to her paying.

Zhou Chong's royalties were naturally not much higher. In her opinion, two taels of silver were already extremely high.

Although Zhou Chong had learned about some published books before, he heard that Xie Lingyun was only willing to pay two taels of silver per episode, but he still couldn't help but say angrily: "Miss Xie, do you know that I want to write Journey to the West.

How much time and effort is spent? A Journey to the West is only a hundred chapters. After the previous ten chapters, it only took 180 taels of silver. For your Xie family, this amount of money is probably not enough for the day in the mansion.

?”

Although Journey to the West was copied by Zhou Chong from the memories of later generations and did not take much time or effort, no matter what, this is also one of the four classical classics in later generations. The copyright of such an important novel is only worth less than two.

Hundreds of liang, this really hit him a big blow.

Seeing Zhou Chong's lack of money, Xie Lingyun was secretly happy. What she feared the most was that the other party refused. However, since Zhou Chong felt that the price was low, it also showed that her previous guess was correct. Zhou Chong made such a lot of effort.

The name of Journey to the West is indeed because I want to make some money by borrowing books to supplement my family’s income.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun once again showed a confident smile and said, "Mr. Zhou is a scholar, so he naturally does not understand the difficulties of doing business. For example, taking us as an example, even if Mr. Zhou agrees to hand over the manuscript to us, we still need to print it when printing.

Strictly keep confidential and prevent the content of the manuscript from being leaked. In addition, the number of printed books is also a problem. If we print too much, we cannot sell them. If we print too little, we will not sell them enough. We will take advantage of loopholes to take our photo version.

In the end, we were the ones who suffered the loss, and we only had one chance. In the future, the content of Journey to the West will spread, and any bookseller can find someone to print it by themselves, so we don’t make much profit from Journey to the West.

I hope Mr. Zhou will also be considerate!"

After hearing Xie Lingyun's narrative about the difficulty of doing business, Zhou Chong was unmoved at all and retorted: "Ms. Xie, don't bully me, a scholar. Although I don't know how to do business, I understand one thing. Now Journey to the West is like this.

It can be predicted that as soon as Journey to the West is launched, it will definitely cause people to rob. At that time, as the first merchants to print this book, there is no risk of not being able to sell it, and other booksellers want it.

It takes a long time to pirated Journey to the West, so how much you can earn from the Xie family depends on how many books you are planning to print at one time!”

Xie Lingyun was also a little surprised when she heard Zhou Chong point out the key points of the matter. Now she had seen it clearly. Zhou Chong in front of her was completely different from Zhou Chong who she had found out about investigation. She could not treat him as a pedantic.

The scholar should treat the other party as an opponent in the shopping mall.

Thinking about this, Xie Lingyun's wonderful eyes looked Zhou Chong up and down again. She has always been conceited and smart, and has never made any mistakes when seeing people. However, she did not expect that she would misunderstand twice in a row. This made her correct

Zhou Chong's curiosity has increased a lot again.

"Okay, since Mr. Zhou thinks the price is low, what do you think is the price is more appropriate?" Xie Lingyun finally spoke again.

When Zhou Chong heard the other party pushing the price question to himself, he pondered for a while. Writing novels is hard and tiring, and even books of the four great classics can only earn a few hundred taels.

So he didn't plan to write novels as a lifelong plan, but now he needs to support his family and also need the first pot of gold in his life, so he has to exchange novels for money, after all, this doesn't require much cost.

"Three hundred taels! There are ninety chapters after Journey to the West, give me three hundred taels, and I will write the ninety chapters for you as soon as possible!" Zhou Chong finally calculated a rough figure, and got three hundred taels.
Chapter completed!
