The butler on the side was anxious and couldn't help scolding the boy when he saw him stumbling.
"Sir, after some inquiring, it turns out that a storyteller came to Yibo Building today. He seems to have moved from the West Market. His name was Mo Ran Bookstore before! It is said that he told the story of "The Legend of Journey to the West".
"Fancheng" is several times more exciting than Liu Yi's biography, so it attracted many literati and common people!"
The boy did not dare to neglect and hurriedly told the news he had learned.
The servant and the housekeeper were on errands in the Xu Mansion and were not aware of other things going on in the mansion, and they did not dare to inquire about his master's movements at will. Naturally, they did not know about his master's business with Jiang Yunyi.
"What? What did you say? Moran Book Club?"
It was okay not to listen, but when he heard it, Xu Shan was stunned for an instant, and his expression became extremely complicated. He had thought about various possibilities just now, but he didn't expect it to be like this!
"Yes, sir... this Mo Ran Book Club was already quite popular in the West Market, but for some reason it suddenly moved to Yibo Building today. If he hadn't moved, Yibo Building would not have been affected."
The boy lowered his head and did not notice Xu Shan's expression before reporting again.
"So that's it, sir, it must be Qin Fang from Yibo House who is behind this. He wants to use this to attract diners."
The butler next to him didn't know about the deal between Xu Shan and Jiang Yunyi. After hearing what the boy said, he couldn't help but said angrily.
Yibo Restaurant is just opposite Zuixian Tower.
As long as there are more diners over there, their side will definitely be affected.
"this....."
At this moment, Xu Shan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
What is this thing called?
Why did Mo Ran Book Club move to Yibo Building? No one knows better than him. Because he was the one who drove Mo Ran Book Club out of the shop.
But I couldn't tell the housekeeper this matter.
Having said that, they will definitely think that they are big fools, forcibly extorting money from their opponents for a mere few hundred yuan a month.
Also... He knows Li Mo's level. The book club has been crowded with people for a long time two days ago. Why are there suddenly so many literati and talented people chasing after him? It shouldn't be true!
"Sir, there is another rumor among the people."
After a pause, the boy glanced at the housekeeper and then said.
"speak!"
Xu Shan was extremely depressed and waved his hands impatiently.
"It is rumored that the reason why Moran Bookstore moved to Nanshi was not because of the invitation from Yibo Building, but because Yunyi Bookstore in West City was behind it..."
"...You go down first!"
Xu Shan's face was ashen and he hurriedly stopped the boy. He was getting more and more angry as he listened.
"Yes, sir!"
"Wait a minute, go and ask about the "Journey to the West" published by Mo Ran Publishing House. Is it true that it is more exciting than "The Legend of Liu Yi"?"
Just when the boy turned around to leave, Xu Shan couldn't help but say again.
If so, there will be big trouble later.
"Yes, sir!"
After the boy left, the housekeeper came up again,
"Sir, if it's true as the rumors say, this Yunyi Book Club is nothing! If it weren't for them..."
"This Jiang Yunyi is indeed not a thing!"
Hearing this, Xu Shan said angrily.
As businessmen, we can understand some things at a glance.
As for why Jiang Yunyi came out of nowhere yesterday to rent his shop at a high price and promised a lot of benefits, it must be because Li Mo Bookstore has become popular, which has affected Yunyi Bookstore.
But why didn't I think much about it at the beginning? I even preconceived the idea that it was impossible for Li Mo to write a book on fire.
If I had known earlier, I would definitely reconsider.
"Master, since it's like this, why don't you give Yunyi Book Club some color?"
The butler whispered again.
"No need for now! That's all...you don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it myself!"
Xu Shan became more and more irritable,
Not to mention that Jiang Yunyi also reached a deal with him today. Even if Jiang Yunyi's nephew becomes a clerk, it will be disadvantageous for him. Now he can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
First find a way to handle the matter at Yibo Tower, so as not to affect the business at Zuixian Tower.
"Yes, sir!"
.......
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on Dongdu, giving people a unique beauty.
In Nanshi, Yibo Building, with the sound of wake-up wood, not long after, the people gathered outside slowly began to disperse with some disappointment, and they couldn't help but mutter, "It's over again today...Why Li Lang?"
Jun always stops at the most critical moments, which is really annoying!"
"It's just that the monkey has been trapped under the mountain for five hundred years... and we don't know when it will come out."
"well!"
Not long after the people left, many literati and scholars came out of the restaurant.
Some of them were excited with a few pages of transcripts in their hands, while others smiled bitterly and shook their heads in great disappointment.
"You must rush early tomorrow, even if you can't grab the spot, you still have to grab the next copy!"
Those lost literati said so.
When no one came out of Yibo Building, I looked inside the restaurant and saw that Li Mo had already come to the counter, and several other people in the store were helping to pack things.
There were many leftovers of wine and food on the table where the scribes sat.
"Lang Jun! You are really a great talent!"
Mr. Lu Fang, the accountant behind the counter, was adjusting the abacus. When he saw Li Mo, he quickly raised his head and gave Li Mo a thumbs up.
He never thought that the restaurant would be so prosperous, and today's income in one day is comparable to that of the past half month.
Moreover, when Li Mo lectured, he listened with great interest and couldn't help himself.
There was even another thought in my mind. If the husband of the Qin family could find Moran Book Club earlier, how could Yibo Restaurant lose to Zuixian Restaurant?
"How much did you earn today?"
Li Mo nodded and asked.
Because Zhao Hai was out on business, he handed over all the matters of booking a location and selling manuscripts to Lu Fang.
"Mr. Lang, fifty seats were sold for a total of five hundred coins, twenty copies of the manuscript were sold for a total of two hundred coins, and ten tables of wine and food were sold for a total of fifteen taels! The total income of the restaurant today is fifteen taels and seven cents!
"
Lu Fang took a deep breath and started to pay the bill.
It is said that when they were decorating the front hall earlier today, they were still beating the drum in their hearts. They didn't know what their husband wanted to do, but after less than half an hour, literati and scholars began to come in and ask for reservations. Later, the literati and scholars became more and more popular.
More and more... almost broke the threshold.
The most important thing is that these scholars who have won the position have been immersed in the stories told by their husbands. They are not picky about the food, drinks, tables and chairs, and are very easy to serve.
"Hmm? The wine and food sold for fifteen taels?"
Hearing this, Li Mo was shocked.
He really didn't expect this.
No wonder those businessmen who open restaurants are all very wealthy. It turns out that opening restaurants really makes money, at least more than book clubs.
"After excluding some food and wine costs, Mr. Lang, we can only make about twelve or three taels."
Lu Fang said again.
"good!"
Just when Li Mo wanted to ask something else, Zhao Hai hurriedly entered the restaurant.
After taking a look, he came to Li Mo and whispered, "Lang Jun, I found out where the owner of Xuanyang Paper Mill lives. He does not live in the city but in a manor in the east of the city."
