Chapter 22 Signature Sale II

Finally, Li Changlu asked: "How much money can I get?"

Ten thousand copies, if each copy is 30 taels, the total is 300,000 taels. This is so much money!

I thought to myself that if I put in so much effort, I would go to say hello to my classmates, and go to a brothel to solicit sponsorship. You earn so much, and if you don’t give yourself more money, you won’t be willing to do it!

"10%"

Li Changxian told him directly that if he hadn't seen that he was a stupid mistress, he would not have taken him with him.

"One percent is only thirty thousand taels, which is too little!"

"No, I want 30%!"

Li Changlu also didn't want to think that it took him several years to save more than 10,000 taels, but now he despises less than 30,000 taels.

"20%, then negotiate the price, and I'll do it myself!" Li Changxian planned to give him a benefit first, after all, he is rich only when he has the money in his hands.

"Okay" Li Changlu thought for a while, 20% is not bad, at least 50,000 to 60,000 taels, which is quite a lot!

"Brother, when do we start? How to operate?"

Li Changxian explained a few things. The first was to find a reliable bookshop and ask for some beautiful books to be printed. After all, they had a lot of money, so I felt sorry for them if the book printing was terrible. The second was to find a spacious place where there were too many people.

They were standing. They also had to find someone to decorate the venue. Third, in the name of the third uncle, they invited some celebrities from Yangzhou to come and show their prestige.

"Will my father agree?" Li Changlu asked weakly.

"Third uncle will agree. I will talk to him later!" After all, this is a matter of promoting civility. Officials like it the most. They can't come every day, just one show a month, or even a few shows a year. In the end,

The more the better.

After the publicity is done, the higher-ups know that you are very capable and have meritorious service in civil affairs! The Ministry of Civil Affairs will give you a top grade every year during the assessment.

"At that time, I will also ask my father to sign it, and I will get a hundred limited edition copies of Journey to the West with your seal on them, plus my father's autograph. Those who are fawning over will not be considered valuable unless they come up with a thousand eight hundred taels.

Money man." Li Changlu thought of an idea and suggested.

Oh, mistress, that’s good, you can draw inferences from one instance to another! That’s good! Aren’t all of them just stupid?

So the two of them walked away, arms around each other's shoulders, shaking their heads and laughing.

In the Li Mansion, everyone was shocked when they saw Brother Li Changxian like this!

What's going on? My mind is blank. Did I see it wrong?

Then everyone was worried about the third young master. I am afraid that the eldest young master may have tricked him. He was betrayed like a fool and was still laughing!

In the evening, in order to welcome Young Master Li, Li Mansion held a family banquet in the mansion.

As soon as the banquet ended, Li Changlu hurriedly dragged Li Changxian to the third master's study.

"Great kindness!"

When Mr. San heard about Li Changxian and Li Changlu's signature sale event, he thought it was a good idea without thinking about it carefully.

Li Yunyi came to Yangzhou as the magistrate. For several years, the officialdom of Yangzhou was helpless. Cao Cao followed the rules and could only follow the trend. There were no highlights during his term. I originally thought that when the term was over, I would give some gifts to the superiors and give him a first-class rating and return.

Forget it Kyo!

Li Yunyi looked at Li Changxian and was filled with emotion. His nephew has a bright future. The old man was wrong!

After all, once you have an official position, knowledge is no longer important. To climb higher, you rely on brains, not knowledge.

If you have no brains, you will only be played by others in the officialdom.

At this time, Li Yunyi felt that his thoughts on becoming an official in Yangzhou had also opened up. Wenzhi, with the autograph sales meeting, wouldn't there be a poetry conference and a famous exchange meeting?

Anyway, Yangzhou is rich, so just hold a few more shows every year. Try to change people’s impression that Yangzhou’s wealthy people are stupid, and transform Yangzhou into a cultural metropolis.

When Li Changxian asked him to autograph the limited edition of Journey to the West, he even agreed!

In the evening, Li Yunyi arranged for the housekeeper of the Li Mansion to contact the bookstore and find a venue.

Early the next morning, Li Changlu did not sleep in for the first time. As soon as he finished breakfast, he hurriedly called the boys to go to school. Everyone in the Li family was stunned. They had never seen the third young master so active in school!

The first thing Li Yunyi did when he arrived at the prefecture's Yamen was to summon his staff and relevant prefecture's Yamen personnel to inform them that they would hold an on-site sales meeting for Journey to the West signed by Wu Qilong in Yangzhou. He also reminded Wu Qilong, the author of Journey to the West, that he would be at the scene.

In the afternoon of that day, news spread that Wu Qilong, the author of Journey to the West, had come to Yangzhou.

At this time, the bookshop in Yangzhou had already obtained the copy of Journey to the West from the capital and was selling it in Yangzhou.

And the news that Wu Qilong came to Yangzhou even made the book Journey to the West a hit. If you are in the city of Yangzhou and don't know the book Journey to the West or Wu Qilong, the author of Journey to the West, people will laugh at you for being a bumpkin.

You can't imagine the impact Journey to the West has on people. Regardless of scholars and vendors, old people and children, Yangzhou streets are full of people discussing Journey to the West. There are many children playing monkeys on the street with sticks.

In the Li Mansion in Yangzhou, Li Changxian was furious. He sat in the hall and kept sulking. The people in the bookstore were so cunning! All the money that should have been his own was earned by these black-hearted bookstores.

I want to fight against piracy, I want...

In the evening, Li Changxian quickly called Li Changlu to discuss the countermeasures for tomorrow.

At this time, Mr. Li San began to sign autographs, but instead of bringing one hundred copies of Journey to the West, Li Changlu asked someone to send five hundred copies. Tired Magistrate Li's fingers ached and his eyes were filled with golden flowers. This was probably more than he had in a year.

There are even more signatures at the Yamen.

The next day, a large teahouse in Yangzhou was booked by the prefect's Yamen. Early in the morning, a banner was hung outside the teahouse, which read the autograph sale event of the author of Journey to the West. Many Yamen were patrolling outside the teahouse.

Before Magistrate Li could lead the officials into the venue, there were already a large number of Journey to the West fans outside.

At this time, Young Master Li’s best henchman Li Zhusheng sat helplessly at the autograph table. Li Changxian and Li Changlu sat in the back laughing and wanted to watch Li Zhu perform in front today. Young Master Li very generously promised that if

The Journey to the West sales event was successful and he was given twenty taels of hard-earned money.

The launch of Journey to the West was very successful, thanks to the support of officials of all sizes in Yangzhou, the generous sponsorship of merchants of all sizes in Yangzhou, and the love of Journey to the West fans.

Li Changxian and Li Changlu were so happy that they couldn't stop laughing all day long.

Nearly 8,000 copies of Journey to the West were sold that day.

The limited edition Journey to the West was even harder to come by, so Li Changlu had no choice but to take out his private collection, which he originally planned to sell secretly.

In the evening, Magistrate Li led everyone to hold a celebration banquet in the restaurant.

At this time, Li Zhu had a depressed look on his face. He had been working hard all day and was so tired that he didn't even take a sip of water. Moreover, he was very upset when signing autographs and stamps for the vast number of female fans in Yangzhou.

As expected, famous authors are not so easy to do. After returning in the evening, Li Zhu complained to Li Changxian whether he wanted Cao Yun to experience the addiction of Wu Qilong, the writer of Journey to the West, but Li Changxian flatly refused.

Fortunately, there were fewer people buying autographed books on the second and third days, but there were still a large number of Journey to the West fans pestering Li Zhu in the venue.

Li Zhu lives in pain every day with a smile on his face.
