"Sir, something bad is going on. There are far fewer book buyers coming to buy our manuscripts today. We still have half of the 500 copies we prepared today, and there are fewer and fewer book buyers buying our manuscripts."
Hearing that the boss had misunderstood, the waiter said hurriedly.
"What? There are fewer and fewer book buyers buying manuscripts? How is that possible!"
Jiang Yunyi suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.
"The Story of Liu Yi" has received a huge reputation. Yesterday it was hard to find a book. Why can't it be sold today? It shouldn't be possible!
"Master...you can go to the outer hall and have a look."
The waiter pointed to the outer hall cautiously.
"Why? But because of the price of the manuscript?"
Jiang Yunyi frowned, it seemed that the waiter was telling the truth.
"Sir, there may be a reason for this. Many book readers think the price is a bit high, but the main reason is because of the Moran Bookstore in Xitou!"
There was a hint of resentment in the guy's tone.
The business of the family bookstore was not good, and the life of their servant was not easy either.
"Moran Book Club? What happened to them?"
Jiang Yunyi raised an eyebrow.
"Master, do you still remember what I told you last night about the opening of a book lecture at Moran Book Club?"
The guy said.
"Know!"
Jiang Yunyi nodded.
The clerk told him about it last night, but he didn't take it to heart and thought that some scribes and scholars who wanted to buy a copy of "Liu Yi's Biography" were deliberately showing off.
"Sir, according to some scholars, some good people have privately compared our "The Legend of Liu Yi" with Li Mo's "The Legend of Journey to the West". They feel that the "The Legend of Journey to the West" is many times more exciting than the Legend of Liu Yi, and
There is no money to listen to Journey to the West... Just like this, many scribes and scholars went to Moran Bookstore today.
In order to verify this, I personally went to Moran Bookstore, and it was indeed crowded with people listening to the book. Half of the street was occupied."
The guy sighed.
He really didn't expect that the Moran Book Club, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, would suddenly come back to life.
"ah?"
Jiang Yunyi's face was gloomy, and he still shook his head for a long time.
"No, I know very well what level Li Mo is. How could he possibly write a more exciting work than "The Biography of Liu Yi"!"
"Sir, I am also confused! At the beginning, Mo Ran Bookstore had recruited several good book writers, but they were all recruited by the master to our book club, and there was no one available for him! But when I went there, I found out that it was Li Mo who was there.
Teach books.”
The guy hurriedly agreed.
"Is it possible that Li Mo is stirring things up in private and deliberately looking for someone to slander Liu Yichuan?"
Pacing,
After much deliberation, Jiang Yunyi seemed to have the only possibility.
"Sir, this is extremely possible. Those scholars and scholars are not economical. If they collude with Li Mohan and deliberately make a wonderful gesture of "Journey to the West", the price of our manuscripts will definitely drop if they cannot be sold.
, just in line with their wishes.”
The guys also started analyzing.
Anyway, in his heart, it is absolutely impossible for Li Mo of Moran Publishing House to produce a more exciting work than Liu Yi's biography.
"Hmph! That's how it should be. This Li Mo actually dares to block my way of making money!"
boom!
Jiang Yunyi punched the desk hard.
He believed the man's analysis because he felt the same way in his heart.
"Master, then let's..."
The clerk turned his head and glanced at the copywriters who were copying books. He didn't know whether he should continue or stop copying. If he continued, if he couldn't sell the copies, the book club would suffer huge losses.
A roll of white linen paper isn't cheap.
"Don't worry, if this Li Mo dares to use some tricks secretly, I will make it difficult for him to move even an inch. I won't let him stay in Xishi any longer! Pack your things and you come with me out."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yunyi's face turned cold and he replied.
"Master, where are we going?"
the guy asked hurriedly.
"You'll know when you go there!"
...
There are three cities in Dongdu, namely Dongshi, Xishi and Nanshi. The other three cities are where people live.
About half an hour later, Jiang Yunyi and his boy appeared in front of a large house in Ningrenfang with some things. The word "Xu Mansion" was hung on the house.
The clerk came up and knocked on the door knocker and said, "Is Boss Xu at home?"
Creak!
Soon, the courtyard door opened, and a boy leaned out half of his body.
"You are...."
"My husband is the owner of Yunyi Bookstore. When I come to visit Boss Xu, I hope that he will also be interpreted."
The guy said.
"You two, please wait a moment."
The boy closed the courtyard door again. Not long after, the courtyard door opened again, and a hearty laughter came from inside,
"It turns out it's Boss Jiang who's visiting. He's such a rare visitor! Please come in quickly!"
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes walked out of the yard. If Li Mo were here, he would definitely recognize this person. He is Xu Shan, the boss who went to collect rent from the bookstore the day before yesterday.
"Boss Xu, you're welcome. I haven't seen you for a long time. How is Boss Xu's business?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yunyi cupped his hands and stepped forward to greet him.
Xu Shan is considered a wealthy family in Luoyang, the eastern capital. He owns a lot of real estate and also runs a large restaurant in Nanshi.
"Business is normal, please come inside!"
Xu Shan modestly waved his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"please!"
Not long after, the two of them were sitting in the reception hall of Xu Mansion, and the maid had already prepared tea cups.
"I wonder why Boss Jiang is here this time? I recently heard that Boss Jiang Bookstore's "The Story of Liu Yi" has become a hit. He must have made a lot of money."
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Shan smiled.
He and Jiang Yunyi were not close friends, they were just acquaintances, but they were both businessmen in the same circle.
"Alas! That's wrong. The book club has been facing many difficulties recently."
Jiang Yunyi looked bitter.
"It's so difficult? How is it possible? Boss Jiang is joking. By the way, Boss Jiang is..."
Waving his hand, Xu Shan didn't believe it.
"To be honest, I came to see Boss Xu recently because I wanted to discuss it with him. I wonder if Boss Xu can rent the shop at the west end of West City to me?"
Jiang Yunyi straightened up and went straight to the topic.
That's right, he came here today just to cut off Li Mo's retreat. He has no place to go, so let's see how you go about it.
"A shop in the West Market? Boss Jiang is talking about Mo Ran Bookstore?"
Xu Shan looked stunned.
He only has one shop in the West Market, which is Mo Ran Bookstore.
"That's right! I heard that Moran Bookstore already owes Boss Xu several months' rent, so I came up with this plan. If Boss Xu is willing, I am willing to add an additional two hundred Wen per month for rent."
Jiang Yunyi said.
A businessman pursues profit. As long as the price is high enough, he is not afraid that Xu Shan will not agree.
"Two hundred more coins?"
Xu Shan touched his chin and hesitated for a moment.
"What's the matter? Boss Xu doesn't want to? Is it possible that he doesn't want to pay the rent of 500 yuan per month, and instead continues to let Li Mo not pay the money he owes?"
When Jiang Yunyi saw Xu Shan's expression, he moved his eyebrows and said again.
"That's not the case... Li Mo only gives three hundred cents a month, but..."
He leaned back on the chair, paused, and said, Xu Shan.
