Chapter 8 The Three Master Lions Open their Mouth

"I have seen the third master of the Jia family. I don't know what instructions did the third master have to do this time. If he can do it, he will definitely not refuse!"

Hui Chamber of Commerce, Tianxia Tongyin Bookstore, and reception hall.

After Jia Huan looked at the person, he bowed and smiled, "You are so kind, you can't say anything more about expensive things and cheap things."

I came here today to talk to the shopkeeper. I wonder if you can collect manuscripts here? Or how much money is needed to print a storybook?"

After hearing Jia Huan's words, the shopkeeper knew his purpose, so he smiled and said, "San Master, please sit down, please sit down, let's sit down and talk!"

After Jia Huan sat down, the two began to chat for a few moments, and then they realized that the shopkeeper's surname was Chen, who was sent by the Huishang Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for the Tianxia Tongyin Bookstore.

After a while, Storekeeper Chen smiled and said, "I wonder if the third master has brought the manuscript, can you show it to the villain?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan nodded and signaled Zhao Guoji to hand over the manuscript to Manager Chen.

After taking the manuscript, Storekeeper Chen bowed slightly to Jia Huan, and then opened it, and saw the five big words "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" appearing vividly on the paper.

The handwriting is not very good, this is the first thought of Manager Chen. I guess Jia Huan is bored when he is idle and just uses him for entertainment.

However, as the first and second pictures were slowly looked through, Manager Chen felt that he could not stop.

After more than twenty minutes in a row, after finally reading all the manuscripts of nearly 80,000 words, Manager Chen was still unsatisfied and shocked.

Based on his experience, this storybook will probably be popular after it is written.

So he hurriedly asked, "San Master, I don't know where the author of this book is? Can you recommend it?"

"It's far away, it's near before you."

Jia Huan was not going to hide it. He had his plan. Today he was just throwing a stone to ask for directions.

He looked at Store Manager Chen with a smile. He knew how beautiful and intoxicating Mr. Jin's novel was written.

Not to mention that there is no entertainment in this era, even such a colorful entertainment life in later generations is unforgettable.

The best-written martial arts novels is Mr. Jin, and there is no doubt about this.

On the opposite side, Storekeeper Chen was stunned at first, then remembered that the words were not well written, but at last, a sudden flash of inspiration suddenly fell on Jia Huan, and he was shocked.

"San Ye, this book is the best written book of the villain who has been in the industry for so many years. I wonder if the rest of the book, can you bring the rest?"

Looking at the excited look of Manager Chen, Jia Huan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I only wrote this a few, and there are about 800,000 words left. Since Manager Chen likes this story book, let's talk about it now?"

I hadn't finished writing yet, and Manager Chen felt that he was still not satisfied. He wanted to know the ending below, but since he hadn't written it out yet, he had to wait.

So he smiled and said, "San Ye, the full text is more than 800,000 words, which can be divided into ten volumes of printing. But can the quality be guaranteed afterwards?"

"This is naturally. This is written in ten days. Shopkeeper Chen is assured that the remaining quality assurance is as good as this one.

If there are ten volumes, one volume will be more than 80,000 words. Ten days later, I will send someone to the next volume of the manuscript.

Every ten days from now on, I would send nearly 100,000 words of manuscript. What does Manager Chen think?"

Manager Chen was naturally happy to hear Jia Huan’s guarantee. Ten days were not long, and if such a good storytelling book could attract more people to buy it, it would basically bring a considerable income to the Tianxia Tongyin Bookstore.

He thought for a while, and then said, "Third Master, it is logical that yellow and white things should not be used in front of the Third Master. I think that with a person like the Third Master, he naturally doesn't look down on such a life experience.

The young man thought this way. For each book, the young man gave the third master five taels of silver to pay for each book. What does the third master think?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan smiled and signaled Zhao Guoji to put the manuscript away.

Zhao Guoji immediately stepped forward and quickly packed up the manuscript and carried it in his hand.

Jia Huan then smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen stayed there, let's work together in the future!"

After hearing this, Manager Chen could not sit there. Although he respected Jia Huan on the surface, he actually thought that Jia Huan was a child. He wanted to fool him and take the book for fifty taels of silver.

But now it seems that people have a price in their hearts and cannot be so casual, so they quickly keep Jia Huan and said, "Third Master, Third Master, Third Master, Third Master, Third Master, Since Third Master thinks that five taels of silver per book is too low, what about ten taels of silver?

This is already a very high price, I hope the third master will consider it!"

Jia Huan stopped, turned his head to look at Storekeeper Chen, and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, although Jia Huan is young, he doesn't know anything. Nowadays, the book is generally about five cents of silver per volume.

Just counting five cents of silver, if you sell a thousand copies in the capital, that is five hundred taels. If you sell tens of thousands of copies in other places, you will earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

There are ten volumes in total, and the minimum income is about 100,000 taels of silver. But you are stingy and you just want to send me the third master to the total fifty taels of silver?

Haha, Shopkeeper Chen, I’m not greedy for Third Master. Ten volumes of story books, a total of 5,000 taels of silver. If you think it’s suitable, let’s talk about it. Third Master will definitely have a lot of story books in the future. What do you think?"

The implication is clear. If you buy out five thousand taels of silver, it doesn’t matter whether you make 100,000 taels or more. As for the future, if you think it’s OK, then continue to cooperate. If it doesn’t work, we will break up.

As soon as these words were said, the shopkeeper Chen was too big. He just thought Jia Huan was a child. Even if he had a life experience like the Jia family, he could fool him at will. He could get it at most with two or three hundred taels of silver. He was thinking of making a fortune from the Book Printing Company, but he didn't expect that Jia Huan would open his mouth like this!

However, he knew very well that what Jia Huan said was true. According to the quality of this story book, it would definitely be popular and could attract some fixed customers.

Five cents of silver per volume, and ten books are five taels of silver. Don’t think it’s expensive. There are many scholars in this era, and everything is inferior. However, the idea of ​​high reading has long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Are things related to scholars expensive? Can they be measured by money?

No!

Manager Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Third Master, 5,000 taels of silver is too expensive. Even if we can sell hundreds of thousands of copies, we can't make much money.

Moreover, labor costs, transportation costs, etc. all require money.

If the third master thinks it is appropriate, I will make the decision, what about a thousand taels of silver?"

On the side, Zhao Guoji's heart was almost trembling. The account of fifty taels of silver actually got 1,000 taels of silver.

In an era when twenty taels of silver could make a family of four live for a year, two thousand taels of silver could make a living for a hundred years.

However, Jia Huan shook his head and refused, "Five thousand taels of silver are not too much. Third master, I don't want much. Even if you add your various costs, you can earn more than eight thousand taels of silver in a book.

Ten books, 80,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of silver for the third master, is it more?

Just five thousand taels, one cent less than the third master, I will go to other book printing shops to talk. I believe there will be people who know the goods!"

After saying that, Jia Huan was about to leave with a confused look on his face. He was stopped by Manager Chen just after taking two steps.
