Li Min held several novels in his hand. He glanced at them and found that they were full of errors.
He threw it directly to the ground.
He said coldly:
"The Wang family actually dares to print such a poor novel. Are they really not afraid of making people laugh?!"
Ji Ruxue also held a book in her hand, and said while reading: "There are a lot of typos in it, and in some places, the preface and the follower are inconsistent! It is really shoddy! There is no literary quality at all!"
Su Mei also expressed: "Will anyone buy this kind of book? Does it show people's thirst for knowledge? Or is it that they have no choice? Or are they even deceived?"
"That's because the common people can't tell good from bad. After all, it's a new literary genre, and everyone reads it with curiosity. In addition, the novels of the Three Kingdoms and others have not yet been published. After reading the Three Kingdoms, people will never read it again.
It’s a good story, so I will buy their novels!”
Wu Jue analyzed this.
During this period of time, because the warrior Xun returned to Jingzhou, Wu Jue also stayed in the Shengtang Group.
She lives with Ji Ruxue, and the two of them are harmonious.
She will also help Li Min with some things when she has time, such as reading and finding mistakes.
This way, no one will gossip.
After all, she is not the only woman.
"I agree with Wu Jue's opinion. If this continues, their novels will not be far from bankruptcy!"
Kong Jingting said.
"It is estimated that it will go bankrupt tomorrow, or it will go bankrupt this afternoon!"
Ji Ruxue said.
The other three women didn't understand what it meant.
"Why?"
they asked in unison.
Ji Ruxue said: "Some time ago, Mr. Zili asked me to slowly cut off the supply of paper, especially for large-scale purchases of paper. Even if it is supplied, it will be limited.
Therefore, if they still want to print novels, they have to use high-priced paper mixed with our paper. However, the quality of high-priced paper is not as good as ours, and the printing will most likely smudge, and the yield rate is extremely low!
Coupled with the increase in costs, unless they increase prices, they may not be able to make a profit.
If this happens, will they still print novels?"
Ji Ruxue said this.
Everyone looked at Li Min with admiration.
That was truly a stroke of genius.
Just a piece of paper can make the other party bankrupt.
There is no such thing as a hundred schools of thought contending, and now only Li Min's family dominates.
Even though he is the only one, he still insists on low prices.
As long as there is a slight profit, that's fine.
Making money from the common people was not his original intention, but making money from the rich was fine.
For example, a hot spring resort.
"Mr. Zili is truly a god!"
Su Mei couldn't help but say.
"In the entire Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid there is no one like Mr. Zili!"
Wu Jue also followed suit.
"Of course, our Mr. Zili has become more powerful than just a day or two!"
Kong Jingting said this.
Li Min is among the flowers, not to mention, it is really refreshing.
It feels wonderful to be praised by others.
"You guys say nice things, which makes me feel a little embarrassed!"
He replied symbolically.
"Mr. Zili is so humble!"
Wu Jue said.
"Okay, that's it for the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce! We have more important things to deal with!"
Li Min said this.
The four women expressed their understanding.
At this moment, Zhu Shan suddenly walked in.
"Mr. Zili, there are some masters outside who want to see you!"
"Huh? Master? Who?"
Who will be here at this time?
He was puzzled and curious.
"Those people who came a while ago!"
Li Min immediately understood who it was.
The four girls also found out that they were the ones who broke the contract.
What are they here for?
"Let them in!"
Li Min said that we can meet him once.
Afterwards, ten masters joined the Shengtang Group.
Their expressions were awkward.
At the same time, his head was lowered, not daring to look at Li Min.
When Li Min saw that no one was talking, he didn't say anything either. He just chatted with the four girls.
All this has come to your doorstep, and you still haven’t taken the initiative.
What do these people want to do?
Finally, the leader of the master said: "Good afternoon, Mr. Zili!"
"Hmm? Just say whatever you want!"
The ten people looked at each other.
Finally, he said: "We still want to sign a contract, but I don't know if it is possible?"
"Um?"
Li Min looked at the ten people, feeling a little embarrassed.
At this time Ji Ruxue stood up.
"You were so determined to leave then, why do you want to come back today? Did Wang Yang drive you away?"
The ten people were silent and looked embarrassed.
"Some people are like this. They obviously have good things but don't cherish them. It's like losing them, but they still act shamelessly!"
Kong Jingting said coldly.
She also hates this kind of people very much.
As for Su Mei and Wu Jue, they rarely cursed, they just showed angry expressions.
"Tell me, why should I take you in? Give me a reason. If it makes me think it is feasible, I will sign a contract with you!"
Li Min said.
Ji Ruxue said: "Mr. Zili, no, these people have too little loyalty and have no contract spirit at all. If you sign with them now, they may break the contract in the future!"
"Miss Ruxue, we don't dare, we don't dare! If the Wang family hadn't fired us directly, we wouldn't have left there. Moreover, they asked us to write 100,000 words in one day, otherwise they would deduct our salary.
money!"
Only then did they say.
It turns out that this is what Wang Yang meant by forcing them to leave.
"So, you terminated the contract with him?"
"No, he was fired! And he didn't get a penny!"
This is the shame of these masters. They have been busy for so long and cannot get a penny.
Everything was just as Li Min said.
It seems that Wang Yang has completely given up resistance, and he doesn't want to write any more novels.
Because I can't do it.
A piece of paper is already too much for them to bear!
Li Min was also curious, so what should they do with their books next?
"Yes, I can sign a contract with you!"
Li Min suddenly said this.
This made these masters feel happy.
But what Li Min said next shocked everyone.
"However, I can only sign with you at one-tenth of the original price, and if I am not satisfied with what you write, I will have to change it! If you are willing to do it, stay. If you are not willing, I will not force you!"
Ji Ruxue originally wanted to persuade her, but after hearing what Li Min said, she gave up.
I couldn't help but applaud.
These wives looked very helpless.
But what else can they do?
"I'm not in a hurry, you guys should think about it carefully!"
Li Min was not in a hurry, these people seemed dispensable.
Finally, the masters actually agreed.
This also surprised Li Min.
But it is still rewarding.
Next, he increased the contract's default cost again.
The cost of breach of contract has increased for both parties, which is beneficial to everyone.
It can also restrict these masters better.
At the same time, he also asked Ji Ruxue to do something about the ancient books sold that day, that is, to lower the price.
As a result, the books purchased by the family would rot in their hands.
About Li Min's wonderful battle with the family, word quickly reached Li Shimin's ears.
