Zhao Cheng followed Lu Bin's words and said: "The middlemen are good. The middlemen make the difference, and the plaintiff eats the defendant."
Lu Bin asked: "What do you mean?"
"Praise you." Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "Everyone in the world thinks that middlemen make money from bastards. In fact, this is not the case. Middlemen need more skills. They can't do it without good connections and channels."
Lu Bin immediately picked up the wine glass and stood up, exclaiming in surprise: "Boss Zhao is really my confidant!"
The three of them drank a drink, and Xia Qi also took a sip.
Zhao Cheng called Qiu Shu over, deliberately hugged her and talked, giving the initiative to Cai Yiyi.
Although he and Zhao Cheng had just met, Cai Yiyi understood Zhao Cheng's behavior as soon as he saw it. He smiled at Lu Bin and said, "Boss Lu, are you very busy recently? I wanted to make an appointment with you tomorrow, but you insist on making an appointment until this time in the evening."
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm really busy!" Lu Bin waved his hand gently and said: "I took over a pretty big business, and I've been working on it all day long. Isn't it late..."
"What a big deal, can you tell me about it?"
"Is this a state banquet in just two days? Your Majesty has invited many people this time, and the banquet will last for three days and three nights. It is said that Changsui does not turn off the lights for three days and three nights. The food in the palace is not in supply, but ordinary food is okay
, you can supply supplies from around Changsui, but some rare ingredients are in short supply. I will help buy some rare ingredients for the palace."
Lu Bin said it calmly, but Cai Yiyi was stunned for a while, and even Zhao Cheng opened his ears.
Help buy rare ingredients for the palace?
Is this a favor?
This is a big business that so many people want to grab!
Cai Yiyi asked curiously: "I have even received business from the palace, but Boss Lu has such a wide range of opportunities?!"
Lu Bin shook his head and said modestly: "It's all the friends in the palace who take care of me."
When he said this, Lu Bin had a bland smile on his face and looked reluctant, but he was obviously saying...
There is someone in our palace!
Zhao Cheng smiled quietly.
Blow it,
It tastes like that.
Cai clasped his fists all the way and said: "Boss Lu has such extraordinary abilities, he will have to protect his little brother from now on!"
"Which one of us will follow the other! I have the same purpose, if I am rich, I will help the world, and if I am poor, I will be alone. If we have money, we must make it together, otherwise we are not brothers!"
"Boss Lu is awesome! Come on, have a drink!"
After the two clinked glasses, Cai Yiyi finally got to the point and said, "Is there any problem with the second volume of "Ying Ying Ying"?"
Lu Bin immediately said: "No problem, of course no problem! What problem can there be? There is still some time before the official release, I will get the goods for you when the time comes!"
“Is the official release date out yet?”
"Soon! Although I don't have exact information now, don't worry, I will know it sooner than others!"
"Then let's... finalize the price?"
Lu Bin nodded and was about to speak when suddenly two people staggered over, completely ignoring the man at the table and walking directly towards Xia Qi.
"Little girl, come here and play at our table!"
"Come...come, come quickly, bring your sisters too..."
The two of them drank a lot at first glance. Cai pulled Xia Qi to sit next to him, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, several people appeared from around them, pushed the two drunkards to the ground, beat them, and then dragged them away.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Wu immediately looked around and saw that there were no empty tables around, and they didn't know where these people came from.
Cai Yiyi smiled at Zhao Cheng and said, "If you do business all over the world, you will inevitably have to raise a few thugs."
Zhao Cheng gave a thumbs up and said: "These thugs are good, decisive and neat!"
Cai poured wine for Lu Bin all the way and said: "Boss Lu, let's continue."
Lu Bin nodded and said: "The release time has not been determined yet, but the price... has indeed been negotiated."
"I'm a happy businessman. Just tell me what the price is, Boss Lu."
"Well, one volume is..."
"Twins, really twins!"
Before Lu Bin finished speaking, two drunk men came over and pointed at Xia Qi and Qiu Shu.
"How much is this table for you? Come with me, brother, I will give you everything I have tonight..."
Cai! Cai snapped his fingers all the way.
The two drunkards were dragged away.
Cai Yiyi simply stopped asking for prices, and instead drank with Zhao Cheng and Lu Bin. As expected, two more waves of people came one after another. They all came to Xia Qiqiu Shu because of their drinking power, but Cai Yiyi asked the thugs to
Treat'd.
Probably because those few waves of people were beaten, they learned from the past. After everyone drank for a while, no one came to cause trouble again.
Lu Bin then said: "Two hundred taels."
Cai Yiyi asked: "How much?"
Lu Bin stretched out two fingers and said: "Two hundred taels of silver each."
Zhao Cheng only felt his butt tightening and turned away so that no one could see his shocked expression.
Hearing this price, Cai Yiyi was not much better, and everyone was shocked.
Kang Ye charged me a copy for 200 taels, and you sold me a copy for 200 taels. Why the hell am I not making any money?!
The most annoying thing is that your price is too outrageous, right?!
Two hundred and two copies, why don’t you grab it?!
Cai glanced at Zhao Cheng all the way and could only see the back of his head. He pretended to cough twice and suppressed his anger and said: "Boss Lu, this price is too high..."
"It's high, I feel high too!"
Lu Bin looked even angrier than Cai Yiyi. He slapped his hands on the table and shouted, "But the next volume is selling so well!"
"The initial issue price of the next volume has not changed, it is still 10 taels per volume, but who can get it at the initial price? Don't even think about it! Even for locals in Yanchuan, the pre-sale price has gone up to 50 taels.
!”
"The key is that you have to have people, otherwise you won't get the goods even if you spend three hundred taels, let alone two hundred taels!"
After taking a look at Cai Yiyi's face, Lu Bin sighed and said, "Boss Cai, why don't we find other business cooperation? To be honest, I really think the price of this picture album is high! Don't let you be under great cost pressure and affect both of us.
friendship!"
Cai Yiyi said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and give me a minimum price."
Lu Bin was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he leaned back and said, "Boss Cai, you think I am bargaining..."
Cai Yiyi said: "Business is business, and it must make money. You can help me, make less money, so that I can eat more meat."
"Since you have talked about this, let me tell you straight to the point that this price is really indispensable. The only way to keep the price down is to look at your demand..."
"I will take as much as you can take!"
"I can get ten thousand copies, do you want it?"
"I want!"
Hearing this, not only Lu Bin but also Zhao Cheng was stunned.
What are these two doing?
Have you two seen the goods? Are you just yelling about it?!
The first volume of "嘘嘘嘤" was published several times in a row, with a total circulation of only 50,000 copies.
As for the initial circulation of the second volume, Dong Hua is still investigating the market and has not determined it yet.
You two just ordered these 10,000 copies?
How about playing blind chess here?
Lu Bin's expression seemed to become nervous and he asked: "Do you really want 10,000 copies?"
Cai Yiyi said: "I never joke when discussing business."
Lu Bin thought for a moment and said: "One hundred and eighty taels, this is the biggest concession I can make, brother."
"Boss Lu, I'm heart-to-heart with you, so you just gave me twenty taels less?"
"Twenty taels is a lot! One book is twenty taels, and ten thousand copies is two hundred thousand taels!"
"Can I interrupt?" Zhao Cheng suddenly said when Cai Yiyi and Lu Bin were frozen.
Zhao Wuxin said: No! If you keep talking about me when I interrupt, you are not allowed to interrupt others!
Cai Yiyi was waiting for Zhao Cheng to speak. He quickly poured wine for Zhao Cheng and said, "It's okay. Brother Zhao, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhao Cheng nodded, looked at Lu Bin, and said: "I don't understand the business between you, but business is all the same. I just heard you say that the issue price of this picture album in Yanchuan is
It’s only twenty taels, why do you need two hundred taels when I get here?”
"Boss Zhao may not have listened carefully to our discussion."
Lu Bin said with a smile: "Although this picture album has not been released yet, it is already priceless and has no market. The pre-sale quota has long been filled. To get the goods, you need to have connections!"
"I understand, I just need someone with strong connections in Yanchuan."
"Yes!"
Zhao Cheng took a sip of wine and said, "May I ask, who is Boss Lu, this good friend of Yanchuan?"
Lu Bin did not answer immediately, but looked at Cai Yiyi, then at Zhao Cheng, and then said furtively: "Do you know the Young Prime Minister of Yanchuan?"
