Seeing the emperor snatching away his manuscript, Liu Xi opened his mouth.
If someone else robbed him of something he cherished, he would have ignored it, but the person in front of him was the emperor.
How dare he!
The emperor looked at the manuscript in his hand and didn't notice anything at first.
But the more I read it, the more interesting it became.
When he saw the Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace and scaring the Jade Emperor so much that he hid under the table, the Emperor also showed extreme excitement on his face.
Then turn to the back of the manuscript.
Huh? No more!
"Where are the manuscripts? Bring them out to me quickly!" The emperor was angry.
I was just seeing something interesting, but why did I suddenly stop reading it?
The emperor stared at Liu Xi, thinking that this old man must have secretly hidden the following.
Liu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. How could he dare to hide anything in front of the emperor?
It is really……
"Your Majesty, the story of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ends here." Liu Xi said with a sad face.
The treasure that I had finally obtained was snatched away by the emperor before I even put it in my pocket.
"The story told by the prince?" The emperor was stunned, and then confirmed again: "You said this story was told by the prince?"
"Yes, these are all what His Highness the Crown Prince said."
"The old slave was almost beaten to death by His Highness the Crown Prince because he overheard the story." Liu Xi quickly explained to the emperor.
If you don't put yourself in a bad light, why didn't the emperor deal with him severely after he was wasted here for such a long time today?
"It's confiscated. I haven't finished my meal yet. I'll go in and finish my meal before leaving." The emperor stuffed the manuscript into his arms unceremoniously.
Liu Xi's heart trembled when he saw it, and he almost didn't go up to fight the emperor.
Chen Changfeng is annoyed.
I was telling a story to my wife, but I didn’t expect that there were several people outside eavesdropping.
Fortunately, this was just a story. If Chen Changfeng and Tang Xueer did something else, wouldn't they all be listened to?
Chen Changfeng is planning to deal with this old guy Liu Xi severely.
But Tang Xueer stopped him and even wrote part of the plot herself and gave it to Liu Xi.
Chen Changfeng knew that Tang Xueer was helping him win over Liu Xi.
After all, no matter what, Liu Xi is the person close to the emperor and has the emperor's trust. If he can win over him, maybe just selling Liu Xi a favor will be beneficial in the future.
But Chen Changfeng thought that this was the end of the matter.
After two days, I got the 30% of the corrupt money that the emperor had promised before, and let Tang Xueer take charge of the novel.
I'm sure I can make a lot of money.
But who knows, while I was still thinking about having another late-night snack, the emperor would come out of nowhere.
As soon as he came up, he said to Chen Changfeng: "I didn't use dinner, so I asked someone to bring some over. You kid, tell me the story of how the Jade Emperor got under the table."
Chen Changfeng looked at Liu Xi, who looked at the emperor with a resentful expression.
Tell you the story after the Jade Emperor got under the table?
What the hell!
Is this something you want to hear without paying for it?
"Father, in a few days, several new bookstores will open in the capital, and the books sold there will contain subsequent stories about the Jade Emperor who got under the table."
"If my father wants to see it, just ask someone to buy it when the time comes." Chen Changfeng smiled slightly.
The emperor finally understood.
Chen Changfeng wants to make money from this thing.
But the emperor can understand it. Besides, people make money by their own skills, so he can't say anything.
"Then how much will your book sell for?" the emperor asked.
He thought that if this book was sold in a bookstore, he would buy it as soon as possible.
As an emperor, he must be the first to see the ending of this story.
"When the time comes, the bookstore will implement membership. Ordinary members will only be able to see the latest chapter of the plot, and the price will be five cents."
"Silver members can see the content of five chapters, and the price is ten taels of silver."
"As for gold members, you can see the content of fifteen chapters, and the price is one hundred taels of silver."
"As for the supreme membership, you can see all the content completely, and the price is one thousand taels."
"Ahem..." The emperor took a sip of tea and was almost frightened to death because he didn't give Chen Changfeng the price.
What kind of novel requires one thousand taels of silver to read?
This guy is clearly trying to steal money.
Although the emperor was shocked and felt that there was something wrong with Chen Changfeng's mind, his attention was already focused on the members Chen Changfeng was talking about.
"Those members you mentioned..."
"What's the origin?" The emperor looked puzzled.
"Father, you are very observant." Chen Changfeng gave the emperor a thumbs up.
The emperor smiled.
"Are you an ordinary member? As long as you buy a book in the bookstore, you will automatically become an ordinary member."
"As for silver members, you need to pay fifty taels of silver to the bookstore. If you are a silver member, you can get 10% off new books."
"For gold membership, you have to pay one thousand taels, and you can read new books at 30% off."
"As for the supreme membership, one hundred thousand taels, a permanent supreme membership. In the future, all new books in the bookstore will be read for free. New books every month will be delivered to your house by someone, and gold-inlaid collector's edition books will also be given. It is extremely noble."
"Father, do you want a supreme membership?" After Chen Changfeng finished speaking, he looked at the emperor with a smile.
The smile on the emperor's face had long since solidified.
How the hell is this a money grab? This is completely treating people like fools!
Liu Xi's face twitched, and he secretly thought that if the prince did this kind of business, he would lose money in a day.
"Boy, are you kidding me?"
"For one hundred thousand taels of silver and a supreme membership, do you think everyone is a fool?" The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng and shook his head.
He felt that Chen Changfeng was not good at doing business.
It's better to finish this novel properly and let yourself see the ending as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, this is indeed not very reliable. One hundred thousand taels is too much. If it is one or two hundred taels, there should be someone who is taken advantage of..."
Before Liu Xi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Changfeng with a wave of his hand.
"Father, think about it, if one day you go to Prime Minister Yao's house and find Prime Minister Yao reading a book with a gold border, Father will be curious and ask Prime Minister Yao where he comes from."
"Prime Minister Yao said that he was a supreme member. The bookstore sent someone to deliver it to his door. Then he asked, Your Majesty, aren't you a member?"
"Furthermore, when my father met with emperors of other countries, they all had a Supreme Member ID, and they browsed the books in the bookstore at will, and the shopkeepers and clerks in the bookstore cheered each other."
"My father can't even get in. Isn't it a shame?" Chen Changfeng spoke earnestly.
The emperor's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He is the emperor of the Ming Empire, how can he be compared to others?
This is nothing but shameful.
It was obviously lost at home.
As a supreme member, you don’t have to use it, but you can’t live without it.
"Do it, do it for me now!"
"I want to become the first supreme member of this bookstore!" The emperor stood up at that time, pointed at Chen Changfeng's nose and shouted.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Xi was also stunned.
The emperor is too easy to deceive.
That's one hundred thousand taels. How long will it take for me to collect fifty taels to make up the one hundred thousand taels?
The emperor was defrauded of one hundred thousand taels by the prince so easily?
"Hey, then I will create this first supreme membership for my father." Chen Changfeng smiled happily.
Look, the first money has just come.
And I haven’t even finished the novel yet!
Chen Changfeng's movements were so swift that he drafted the Supreme Contract in no time.
After the emperor pressed his fingerprints on the receipt, looking at the smile on Chen Changfeng's face, he felt as if he had been deceived.
How could Yao Xiaoren have so much money that he could become a supreme member?
Isn’t this guy obviously deceiving himself? This chapter has been completed!
