Day 2

March 1st

Ma Jin was about to go to Xiangyun Tower to watch Mei Fang and the others rehearsal, and he gave some advice. As soon as he left the gate, he met Yang Gong, the shopkeeper of Huilinya Store, who came to visit him.

Ma Jin had no choice but to stop and take Yang Gong to the backyard.

After both sides sat down to see the tea, Yang Gong couldn't wait to speak.

"Sir, you just returned yesterday, and I went to the master's house and told them what you meant.

The owner discussed it and said that the price could be reduced."

"Oh, is that?"

Ma Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "How many have he dropped?"

"This number."

Yang Gong stretched out a finger and said, "The price of the master's house is reduced by 1,000 taels, and the price of the house is 14,000 taels. What do you think of it?"

Ma Jin did not say anything, but asked Yang Gong: "I wonder if there are other people in the buyer besides me?"

Yang Gong looked embarrassed. After all, as an intermediary, keeping the seller confidentiality is the basic principle, but the seller's family is in decline and he will soon leave the capital, while Ma Jin saw that the future is promising.

Yang Gong is a businessman after all, and hesitated for a while before saying, "No, the seller asked to pay the full amount immediately. This one was blocked by many people."

Ma Jin's smile became more and more powerful. It seemed that the other party had not found any other buyer except himself and was in a hurry to sell it, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to give in.

Since this is the case, Ma Jin is even more stretched. It will be easier to bargain for two more days.

Ma Jin smiled and said hypocritically: "I have seen the sincerity of the master, but this is not a decimal after all, so I have to think about it carefully."

Since Yang Gong showed his heart, he had already turned to Ma Jin. He nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood that the two of them were tacitly informed.

...

After Yang Gong said goodbye and left, Ma Jin went directly to Xiangyun Tower. Zhu Yunfeng had already found out that Shunmei class and Jingyiyuan were fully rehearsing the show, and Deyong class even sent a lot of people in the class to help. Pei Haoran had already spoken and must start the show in the middle of the month.

So Qinghe Ban was under great pressure, but fortunately, Ma Jin was in charge, and Daqian was the most familiar with the script. With his help, Mei Fang made rapid progress.

Now it depends on who is faster and is the first shot.

...

When Ma Jin was busy with the theater, An Yi was not idle either. The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties has been on sale for six days. Because it was diverted to eight bookstores, it sold very quickly, and 50,000 new books were slowly approaching.

With the sale of the lower part of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the first novel written by Ma Jin was officially completed.

However, the popularity of the Sui and Tang dynasties did not decrease at all, but continued to rise. Although the Sui and Tang dynasties ended, the book fans were full of reluctance. Later, some book fans even came to Xinhua Bookstore directly and asked Ma Jin to write the biography of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Almost a hundred times responded, and soon, hundreds of book fans who petitioned were surrounded by bookshops and refused to leave, asking Ma Jin to continue writing about the Sui and Tang dynasties.

A book is so powerful that it opened the eyes of the people in the capital. The Romance of Jin and Horses and Sui and Tang Dynasties have also become a topic of discussion among the people in the capital recently.

Even many people who did not take the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to their hearts could not help but look at them and reexamined the author of Ma Jin, who wrote the book.

When the matter developed to this point, An Yi did not dare to neglect it. He ran to Dingxiang Tower overnight to discuss with Ma Jin.

The two discussed it all night and Ma Jin came up with a good idea.

...

March 3rd

Early in the morning, hundreds of book fans appeared in a vast array of people who consciously avoided the crowds of people buying books in front of Xinhua Bookstore.

Then, the Tongfu Inn opposite the bookstore was blocked...

The inn owner Tong Zhanggui was a little angry. He wanted these people to block his door every day. You know, just yesterday, Tongfu Inn earned more than ten taels of silver to sell food.

The crowd outside the shopkeeper Tong's store was almost laughing, and he asked the shop assistants to move some chairs and stools to make these God of Wealth rest when they were tired.

Among the book fans, there is a young man in brocade clothes who moved a stool from the clerk of Tongfu Inn and came to the side of a young man in the front of the crowd.

"Brother Zheng, there is a stool here, so you can take a break first."

Liang Zheng, also the brother Zheng mentioned by the young man, was also the organizer of the petition for the book fans. When he heard the young man's words, he turned around and smiled, shook his head and refused.

"No, I'm not tired."

The boy didn't force himself and handed the stool to a young book fan next to him. He rubbed against Liang Zheng and asked.

"Brother Zheng, do you think Mr. Jinma will agree to our request?"

The young man's name is Cheng Ming. He is a rich child and a loyal fan of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Two days ago, Liang Zheng organized a petition for book fans, and Cheng Tianle responded positively and became the backbone of book fans.

Liang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know either, but yesterday when I negotiated with Manager An, he said that he would tell Mr. Jinma of our wishes and give us a reply soon."

Book fans are used to calling Ma Jin's pen name Jin Ma. Ma Jin is happy to see it and guide him to distinguish Jin Ma and Ma Jin from Ma Jin who write books. If something happens to the book in the future, throw away the vest, and there is room for circling.

Just as Liang Zheng and his friends were chatting, An Yi and his partner Li Xing walked out of the store.

An Yi waved to Liang Zheng and the others, and then pasted a big red paper with Li Xing outside the wall of the bookstore.

Liang Zheng asked the team to stay calm here, and brought Cheng Ming and several other backbones to An Yi.

An Yi has had a conversation with Liang Zheng and the others in the past two days, but when he saw a few people coming, he pointed his hand at the wall and signaled them to see the contents on the red paper.

...

"Tell book friends and book friends

Since Mr. Jin and Ma are now preparing a new work, he has no time to continue writing the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but in order not to disappoint all book friends, Mr. Jin and Ma made a decision.

The bookstore specially released a thousand taels of silver and made an appointment with the entire capital to write a sequel to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Anyone who has this intention can come to the bookstore to submit the manuscript. Once adopted, at least 100 taels of silver will be given as a reward.

Among them, the bookstore has another 100 taels of silver as a reward for the best work.

I hope all the talents will participate enthusiastically.”

...

An Yi looked at Liang Zheng and others who were watching the contents of the red paper carefully, but they remembered what Ma Jin said to him last night.

"This is a great time for our bookstore to rise. Don't be afraid of spending money. As long as you can collect good books, you will gain a reputation among the authors who want to write books.

This thousand taels is worth it. In the future, what we earn will be several times or dozens of times."

An Yi recalled the scene Ma Jin described to him last night, and his heart was still a little excited.

There was not much content on the red paper, and Liang Zheng and the others finished reading it quickly, but their bookstore was not very interested in seeking manuscripts.

These people can gather here to party and petition without any money, and they are very interested in the royalties on red paper.

Instead, they were full of curiosity about Ma Jin's new book written on red paper, and kept asking around An Yi.

"What is Mr. Jinma's new writing?"

“When will the new book be sold?”

"Is the new book good about the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"

"What is Mr. Jinma's appearance?"

“………”

Well... it seems like something strange was mixed in.
Chapter completed!
